Luna Lovegood

You know, she’s grown on me, Luna. I know she’s insane, but it’s in a good way. -RW

Charcoals on toned Strathmore, 2hrs.

I love Luna. I should love Hermione more—her bravery, cleverness, and the beautiful actress who played her, but I relate to Luna so much more. We are a lot alike.

Trevor Black


A shirtless, skinny, ridiculously beautiful boy, long blond hair spilling over his shoulders and dirt-smudged chest, eyes wide and blazing and utterly mad … — “Drawing Blood" by Poppy Bright


I love many gingers, but fucked-up comic artist Trevor Black is my favorite.

Pencil, black and white charcoal.

After doing a painting of him that came out just plain awful, I sat down with my first loves - pencil & charcoal - and did this quickly. It helped, but I still wish the painting would have turned out all right too.

To emphasize how lame I am: I thought this wasn't picked to do a story for but it was! Months later I realize this. HERE IS THE STORY!!

Meet Nasir from Spartacus

Meet Nasir (companion piece to Meet Agron)

I know he has a presh face, big doe eyes, and a smooth soft voice that can turn a pirate from the sea and calm a hot-headed gladiator-turned-rebel warrior boyfriend into putty. But don't let his kind heart, small stature, or even the ribbon in his hair fool you -- this bad ass can impale and slaughter Romans two, three or more at a time. He can frighten men twice his size. He's a cute little thing, but he is a dangerous mother fucker. This little prick tried to kill the great Spartacus himself once! Fortunately he figured out who the bad guys really were.

He has the biggest meanest boyfriend who would wrestle Jupiter for him. He loves that big bad boyfriend like crazy, won't ever leave his side. He has to yell and put that big bf in his place sometimes, but he ain't scared to do so ever. 

Want a job done right? Ask this little fucker Nasir to do it. He can cut off Roman heads or hang their bodies up to dry then play wack and kill the Romans. He can heal the hurt, train new recruits into warriors, and fry a rabbit in a pan. He can invent new types of weapons. He had to be smart and crafty dude in order to survive. And survive he does when 99.9% of his bigger warriors friends don't. He gets to walk into the sunset with his big bad ass bf because he is so awesome and fucking adorable.

Nasir from Spartacua - Pana Hema Taylor

All I could see from that scene with Castus was Nasir’s distraught eyes — like all the pigment leached out from sadness. *sob* But it turns out almost OK! Here have a goat!

Some WIPs on Instagram

Colin Morgan from a still for The Tempest

Seems like whenever there is a new still of Colin Morgan after a period of absence, I have to do a mad fast sketch of it (fast for me is 1.5 hours).  Good or bad it has to be done.

Agron and Nasir make sure every farmer has mad warrior skills in case of invasion.

Agron and Nasir make sure every farmer has mad warrior skills in case of invasion.

As happy as I am for Nagron, I’m mourning Saxa. I knew Spartacus, Crixus, and Gannicus would die (as history told me) but a part of me hoped Saxa would make it through proving she is the great female warrior. So I drew this in her memory and for the future female warriors. :)

In my world it is very hot there sometimes and the farmers don’t wear a lot of clothes (you got me, I want to draw skin and feet). :)
