Encanto Fanart

 Loved Disney's Encanto, a lot of fun. Here is my fanart of Mirabel. Photoshop CS6 Wacom Cintiq:

Captain Marvel

Loved this film, loved the retro 80s vibe- a fantastic film, lots of fun and empowerment for female superheroes. I especially loved the getting knocked down but getting back up again (no not that dreadful song but) this.

Game of Thrones Season 8

Has there ever been a more hotly anticipated final season for a TV series? Maybe Dallas and who shot JR? 

But in all seriousness I think this is the last time that a TV series that is rolled out episodically will unite the world in the viewing of its final season. Particularly given that streaming services like Netflix, Amazon and Stan have changed the way in which we watch a series and introduced us to the binge-watch. 

For that reason, when season 8 of Game of Thrones finally made it onto our small screens, it had a lot of hype to live up to, and did it? No. So in honour of the first 4 possible 5 seasons of a show that I absolutely adored, the next 2 seasons that I tolerated and the final season that annoyed the shit out of me for SO MANY REASONS; my fan art this week is of Dany (season 3) - “Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons”.

The Breaker of Chains can be seen in action here. 

After spending 8 years watching this series, it's an understatement to say that I was disappointed with the rapid fire way in which the final couple of seasons played out; for a much better ending watch this video to see how GoT should have ended.

Arya Stark: Game of Thrones

I haven't forgotten about you, Blogger!

Seems like ages since I last entered a blog post- just one more thing to forget I guess. Anyway here is some fan art of Lady Sansa from Game of Thrones

Tyrande Whisperwind Fan Art

Managed to fit in some Blizzard fan art over the last couple of weeks- Tyrande Whisperwind is a character from World of Warcraft. This portrait took a while, I think because I really wanted to do the source material justice (been playing WoW for close to 10 years now- yikes).

Harley Quinn Fan Art

Found some time during term to finish this bit of fan art. Harley Quinn from the DC Comics Cinematic Universe and the Film Suicide Squad. 

Sorry my bad (shaking my head) Academy Award winning film, Suicide Squad; blog post for another time. Robbie was the best in this film.

My Tribute to Carrie

Every so often a celebrity death occurs and it has a real impact on the individual; usually because that celebrity was a part of our collective childhood and it felt like we knew them.

Carrie Fisher was one of those actors for me. Princess Leia (played by Fisher in Star Wars) was the first strong female on screen character that I remember as a kid, she was as smart (or smarter?) as the male characters, as strong, as brave, as fearless and tough. Princess Leia, and the sensibilities lent to the character by Carrie Fisher made the character a role model; the original kick ass rebel princess.

This is my tribute to Carrie Fisher in the role that made me and thousands of other little girls realise that we could rescue ourselves, lead an army and save an empire and still get the man (if we wanted).
