New Drawing -- Rogue Trooper

I know I haven't posted anything for EVER, but I am hoping I can get back into the routine again. So here is a drawing I just did, its of the character Rogue from the Rogue Trooper comics by 2000AD, I hope you all like it. Enjoy!

Goldfinch Flock (Carduelis tristis)

When I got up this morning I noticed right away how many Goldfinch's there were outside gathering dead grass and sticks for nests so I decided to get some shots of them on the Nyjer thistle seed feeder. Heres some info on the American Goldfinch.

The American Goldfinch is often called the "wild canary". The male in breeding plumage is usually bright canary yellow. The female is more dull and sort of greenish yellow.

Among the very latest songbirds to nest each year. They are a very territorial bird, but they do not mind humans. Nesting begins in late summer and continues until early Fall.

They are declining in eastern North America, but they are very stable in the west.

The Wheel Of Time

Around a month ago i ordered all the books in the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan from chapters indigo. There is eleven books in the series there was going to be twelve but Robert Jordan died last year near the starting of December, he was 58.

Robert Jordan is one of my favorite authors. The type of novels he wrote were fantasy adventure and are action packed. I have only read three of the eleven books, of them is the prequel to the whole story so it counts as number zero in the series.

If you like Piers Anthony, Christopher Paolini or the Dragon Lance series or if you just love fantasy adventure books then i recommend reading some of Robert Jordan's work.

The top picture is the three books i have read, and the picture below it are the books i haven't read.

3 down 9 to go!!!!!

Mermaids Purse

This is a Mermaids purse found on one of our local beaches, a Mermaids Purse is normally a empty egg case of a skate, dogfish, sharks, and stingrays. They are usually found washed up on the strand line, which is the furthest point of the highest tide.

If you find a Mermaids Purse and it is still moist and has no hole in it it is most likely still occupied.

Turkey Vulture

The other day i went to the dentist, and on the way back we saw a Turkey vulture standing right on the road by some roadkill.

After a while it got scared of the car being so close so it just glided around, with its wings out it was easily as big as me.
Heres another picture of it gliding around and circling over its meal. We also saw some Canadian geese ill put some pics of them on later.

Gabbi

This is our new edition to the family, she is a lab mixed with maybe a husky were still not sure yet, we got her from a nice family in town. Gabbi is a lovely puppy she is only 7 months old and is very cute. She has a nice personality and always wants to play with the other 3 dogs, we hope to have her forever because she is a wonderful dog.

Power Armor

I started doodling last night and it turned into this, its a picture of a guy wearing some neat looking armor, enjoy.

Mutton Chops

I did this quick sketch this morning of a ugly troll face, i even added hair in his ears haha. Why do mutton chops fit them so well?

Almond

This is one of my rat's, her name is Almond she acts like the baby of the three, and loves to snuggle up in her blue mitten. I was have a hard time drawing her because she kept on moving and turning around every few seconds but the moment she got in her mitten she calmed right down and let me draw her.

The First Bumble Bee

I saw the first bee of the year today, it was buzzing around the Daphne looking for some nectar and i was able to get a few close up pictures of it before it left.

I believe it to be a "Bombus Lucorum " its a very common bee and makes its nest underground, and is one of the first bees to be seen in spring.

This bee is from the family "Apidae" and is from the order Hymenoptera and there average body length is 3-27mm (1/8-1 1/4in). Bees are world wide except for Antarctica.

Apids are major crop pollinators. The value of crops pollinated by bees alone far exceeds the value of honey, wax and any other products they provide!

Earth Day

I thought since it was Earth Day i would put some pictures of some of the plants growing around the house, the first one is a Daphne blooming and the second one some buds growing on one of our Lilacs with a couple spider webs in between. Happy Earth day!

Cool Lego Video

I thought this video was pretty cool and funny, the stop animation is really good as well.

Full Moon

The other night the full moon was up and lighting the whole sky and reflecting off the ocean, it was so beutiful i had to take a picture of it here it is.

Thyme

This is a close up picture of a rose bush i took not long ago, and behind it in the back of the picture is our green house.
This is a close-up picture of some purple creeping thyme, its amazing how you can see all the microscopic hairs on it. The orange thing laying on top of the thyme is some cedar tree needles, i never knew they were so beautiful until this picture. Also the thyme was first grown in the green house before being planted.

Orcs!

I just did this drawing this morning and i think it turned out better than i expected. I have been doing some sketches lately and giving myself time limits to finish them, to see how fast i could do them. I think ill add some in another post.
In this pic you can see more of the details of the orc's face.

The beach 2

Heres some more pictures from the beach, the top one is looking across the beach from the sand, the second picture is a breathing tube sticking out of the ground. Clams and mollusks will dig down into the sand and live there but they need to breath so they will make tubes out of sand to bring air down to them.

The third picture is a rock covered in barnacles, enjoy!!

The Beach

Me and my mom went to the beach this Wednesday to take some pictures, heres some of the pictures. I will post more soon.

Common Jumping Spider

This is a drawing of a Common Jumping spider i did yesterday, Heres some info on Jumping spiders.

Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. Tropical jungles harbor the most species, but they are also found in temperate forests , scrub lands, deserts, the intertidel zone (in Malaysia), even mountains (one species is reported to have been the spider collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mt.Everest (Wanless, 1975).

You can usually recognize a Jumping spider by their eye pattern. They typically have eight eyes
arranged in two or three rows, the two front eyes are the biggest and most forward facing. Colors and patterns vary widely, several species mimic ants. The jumping spider has a very unique and developed internal hydraulic system that allows them to extend their limbs by altering the pressure of body fluid (blood) within them. This enables them to jump without large muscled legs like a grasshoppers. The jumping spider can therefore jump 2o to 6o or even 80 times the length of its body.

Banana Spider or Golden Silk Orb-weaver?

This is a drawing of a "Banana Spider", but i cant be sure whether its a "golden silk orb-weaver"
because whenever i search "Banana Spider" in Google some say its a "Banana Spider" but others say it a "golden silk orb-weaver". If anyone has any idea which it is please comment, thanks.

Troll 2

This is the other troll picture i was talking about in my earlier "Troll 1" post i think he has some characteristics of a muskox or bison.

Troll 1

Here's a drawing i did of a troll i tried to make him a bit goofy looking, i am doing another on thats a bit more goofy.

The Stranger

I haven't posted for a while so i am gonna try and make up for the time. This is my newest drawing it is called "The Stranger" because the guy with all the armor and the overly large gun is walking in this really thick mist on this strange strange world, but he is also being watched by 6 locals all dressed in hoods and cloaks and carrying very wicked looking swords , can you find them all?

Animals

I did half of this collage of animals yesterday and the other half the day before. I did it all in pencil crayon. In it there is a zebra, dog, rabbit, swan, heron, rooster, pig 2 lambs, 3 penguins and a badger.

Hawk Man

Here's my latest drawing, from DC comics its Hawk Man. The story of Hawk Man begins many millennia, during the 15th dynasty of ancient Egypt. Prince Khufu and his beloved Chay-Ara discovered the wreckage of a spacecraft from the planet Thanagar. After exposure to the mysterious Nth Metal initiated a cycle of reincarnation that would see Khufu and Chay-Ara reborn countless times.
