After 7 letters featuring only male characters (although Godzilla and Ganesh are debatable: gender is tricky with huge reptiles, not to mention Hindu gods), it’s time for some ladies.

Fanart: The Wire & Game of Thrones
I love fanart. Taking an existing character you know and love, doing whatever you want with, maybe taking advantage of the fact that you already have your subject nailed down to experiment or practice new techniques, and spreading it to millions of fans who’d love to see anything even remotely related to their favorite fandom.
Anyway, here’s some stuff from my recent favorites:
The Wire
Omar is such an awesome character, and a “My Little Pony” doll is not really the totem animal I’d pick for him…but his name just begged for it. In my head at least.
Game of Thrones
Here are two of my favorite duos: Jaqen & Aria (drawn on an iPad, trying to play with the painting tools) and Tirion & Shae.
Comments on the shows themselves are welcome, but please – no spilers!

H for Horus and Hawkeye
It’s Horus and Hawkeye,
You better not gawk:
One has a falcon’s head,
the other – the eyes of a hawk.
…Yeah, still working on a theme song for their TV series. Haven’t decided yet if it’s going to be an old-school action show or a sitcom about two unlikely roommates.

G for Ganesh, Gizmo and Godzilla
G had so many good options: I always love drawing Gambit, GladOs is a fantastic character, a Ghandi-Goku face-off could be epic, and the combination of Gandalf, Glenda and Granny Weatherwax is the stuff great novels are made from. Or at least esoteric musicals.
But in the metaphoric auditions that went on in my mind as I scanned the characters list, these three came up with the most intriguing idea, and a strong, compelling performance to boot. Couldn’t say no.
