Smite Tweet

So I've been doing more doodles and drawings of Gods from the video game Smite and yesterday I saw that they'd actually tweeted it on their Twitter! They don't really tweet fan art so it was quite surprising to see my work. Especially as it isn't even the greatest fan art around of Smite! Still it's quite an achievement for me and they even linked in my DeviantArt which is really nice of them!

Rockin' Robin - Methodology

Moving on, but still using my ProMarkers, I looked at the song "Rockin' Robin" mostly known to be sung by the Jackson 5 but was first sung by Bobby Day. I think there's just something about little Michael singing it that really suits the personality of a Robin. I drew the scene of the Buzzard and the Oriole being "Out-bopped" by the Robin; using type to express the motion and sound of Bop. Bopping is a dance move I can't really imagine a Robin actually doing but I'm sure if he did, it would be in the air; mainly because Robins dart so fast I can't see how a bop would be done on his feet.  

The pretty little raven at the bird man stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
He started goin' steady and "bless my soul"
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole.

Nithin Rao Kumblekar Inspiration piece - Methodology

After looking into Nithin Rao Kumblekar I drew up a sketch of a robin to put onto some stock. I found this beautiful photo provided by Faestock on Deviantart. I added the cloak over the top in red to match the colours of a Robin. I am ultra happy with this picture; the beauty of the model matches the elegance and nobleness of the Robin.
