Today was spent mostly sat on the floor drawing dragons while watching The Mummy. Somehow I've never actually seen that film in its entirety before - and still haven't, because...I was busy watching dragons. I was in one of those moods where you want something slightly fantasy and adventure based, preferably involving sandy landscapes and ancient cultures. It was a toss up between Indiana Jones or The Mummy, and The Mummy won. Just for the record: Indiana Jones wins over James Bond any day.
I don't know what it is about dragons lately, but I just want to draw them. I partially blame Mich (because I had to draw dragons for her) combined with the smokey forests around here. And add to that the way they keep cropping up in books I've read lately and there's no escaping them.
Dragons, eh? They get bloomin' everywhere*.
* Although this one is actually intended as a birthday gift.
We have at least 2 more years of dragon--at LEAST. Mustn't forget Smaug's debut via Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease illustrate a book of different dragons someday.
I have plans for a narrative about extinguished dragons..no doubt plans that will hibernate for about three years as plans often do ;).
DeleteI haven't seen The Hobbit yet! I want to, but I heard really mixed things about it (some saying it was way too long, others who really liked the added bits) and because I really want to like it (it's The Hobbit!!!) I ended up pondering too much and missing it. Now I'm waiting for it to come out so I can watch it at my leisure, without that my-arse-has-gone-numb syndrome you get from sitting in a cimena for three hours.
Soooo, Miss Mitri, did it get a yay or nay from you?? That's the important question.
You are so wonderfully gifted and beautiful lovely girl! I have missed you. I hope you are keeping warm xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to hear from you :) Coats and scarves and gloves are definitely needed right now, but the I have to admit the snow is just so lovely, too. Especially when it's that powdery kind that makes that soft noise.
DeleteI hope you're keeping warm, too, and keeping your camera busy x
