Inktober 2018 (final)

Here is the final pictures I did for Inktober (October 29,30, & 31). This is the first year I did a drawing everyday and I can’t believe it went bye so fast.

Inktober Day 29! Sorceress, heroic guardian of Castle Grayskull. 

Inktober Day 30! Samhain, the ghost of #Halloween⁠ ⁠ ?, from the #RealGhostbuster.

Inktober Day 31! Love drawing haunted houses, this is a twist on the one I did last year.

Inktober 2018 (2 more weeks)

Here are Inktober drawings, days 15-28. Can’t believe it’s almost over.

Inktober Day 15! Shadow Weaver from the 80’s She-Ra series. I really like the new design from the netflix series, can’t wait to watch it.

Inktober Day 16! Horde Trooper, Hordaks evil robot army. Just as cool looking as a Foot Soldier and just as incompetent.

Inktober Day 17! Mantenna, evil spy with the pop-out eyes ? This guy was super fun to draw.

Inktober Day 18! Grizzlor, hairy henchman Of The Evil Horde.

Inktober Day 19! Scarecrow from Batman The Animated Series, done in Funko Pop style.

Inktober Day 20! Funko Pop style Doctor Who.

Inktober Day 21! Man-E-Faces, heroic human… robot… monster.

Inktober Day 22! Used Ghostbusters World for the first time today and felt like drawing Slimer. Fun game so far!

Inktober Day 23! Reimagined Wingnut & Screwloose from TMNT.

Inktober Day 24! Mutagen Man from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Love drawing creepy weird TMNT characters.

Inktober Day 25! Spider-Man vs Venom! I don’t think I have drawn either of these two in years, forgot how fun it is.

Inktober Day 26! Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters.

Inktober Day 27! Rorschach, Nite Owl, and Silk Spector from the Watchmen. Still one of my top 3 favorite comic book movies.

Inktober Day 28! Man-At-Arms meets He-Man. Always loved this scene in the mini-comic, but to me, it looked like Man-At-Arms was wearing goggles so that is the way I drew it.

Doctor Who, The 13th Doctor

Finally got around to drawing the new Doctor, although I must admit that it’s kind of weird trying to draw a character when you don’t really know much about them. With that said I am very excited about the new season and it sounds like everything will be new. My favorite thing about the Doctor regenerating is that you always feel like you are being stranded with a stranger that you have to get to know all over again. It’s weird and fun and a constant reminder that everything is always changing.

Skeletor in Castle Grayskull

Started this picture over a month ago and kept forgetting about it, but I’m glad I finally finished it.

Tried to combine all the different elements of the cartoon and toy for the interior of Castle Grayskull.

Netflix She-Ra

Sketched and inked this a while back and forgot to post it on the website. I really love this new design for She-Ra for the new Netflix series. The art style looks really cool and I will definitely be checking it out.

 

Rhubarb Strawberry Wine & even more Rhubarb Wine

Last year I had a hell of a lot of rhubarb so I made an equal hell of a lot of wine.

First up!

Rhubarb Strawberry Wine

Started 6/4/17

Ingredients

2 lbs rhubarb

1 lbs Strawberries

1 gallon water

1 tsp yeast nutrient

.75 tsp pectic enzyme

Rhubarb Wine

3 lbs rhubarb

1 gallon water

1 tsp yeast nutrient

.75 tsp pectic enzyme

Boiled water adding sugar and rhubarb (strawberries) for about 45 minutes or so. After the boil, I lined my 2.5 gallon Mr. Beer barrel with mesh straining bag and put the pot into the ice bath to bring down temperature before poured its contents into the plastic barrel. I tied the bag of fruit and covered the barrel so no fruitflies would get in and let it cool before adding the yeast. Then it’s off to a dark corner of my office for a week or so. Like last time when I did this recipe I boiled the fruits to kill off unwanted yeast and bacteria but now I use campden tablets.

Secondary Fermentation 6/11/17

Bottled 8/26/17

Added 3 tsp sugar per gallon, also added stabilizer.

This made a really sweet but delicious wine.

For those who read this I omitted some of the more boring details, but if you are looking for step by step of wine make check out the millions of videos on YouTube, that’s how I learned. Good luck and have fun!

Update 7/22/18

Just popped open a bottle of Rhubarb Wine and the sugary taste has really mellowed out giving it a nice even flavor.

I would check happily check the flavor of the Rhubarb Strawberry Wine but that was gone months ago.
