Throw:
A couple of times in the history of cricket, a pigeon has got in the way of a fast ball and died. Human fatalities are not unknown, either; cricket balls are pretty hard.
Fancy:
One more week (or slightly less) to go.
These ogres were drawn for printing and use as cheap miniatures, so we could try out a ruleset for fantasy wargaming (OnePageRules‘ Age of Fantasy: Regiments). They were fun to draw, but drawing muscular mostly-naked figures hammered home how little anatomy I actually know. Also, I don’t really know how to get the fat-muscular look when drawing, which would be useful here.
Top: Warrior, Sergeant, Musician. Bottom: Champion, Hunter, Yeti. Right end: Standard-Bearer.
Rodent:
Inspired by a half-remembered line about rats “gnawing at the roots of the world” (possibly derived from Warhammer’s Horned Rat).
Teeth:
Dental hygiene is worthwhile whatever your diet.
(Two for this prompt as I realised the first one was a bit derivative – I think I’ve seen a similar picture somewhere else.)
Also I’ve gone in the wrong order… done two for “teeth” and skipped “fancy”. D’oh.
Bulky:
A colleague from a previous place of work/study was a weightlifter, and capable of lifting 200kg above his head or something absurd like that. He was popular with friends and coworkers whenever they had to move house – he could carry washing machines and some fridges downstairs on his own.
Radio:
Many years ago I occasionally listed to some Christian music program on a local station, and I remember being struck by the contrast when the program ended and secular pop/rock came back on: the secular music was better, but unhappier, with a kind of void in its soul. The Christian stuff was quite good, but not as good, and it was… happy. Peaceful.
Blade:
That time of year again. I’m doing the same as last year, posting once a week; last year I did about a third of the prompts, and I hope to improve on that.
Prompt #1: Fish
Prompt #2: Wisp
(Prompt list and rules here.)
