Somehow Mr Fox sneaked back into the picture…

Went on my first multi-day hike this summer in the Icelandic highlands. 5 days, ca 75 km in total, with tent and food and all. The weather was perfect to say the least. We met almost no people along the way and the scenery was breathtaking.
My backpack was also rather bulky because of the survival sleeping bag I had with me, taking up a good amount of space. All in all the hike was amazing and I am up for another one next summer!

Revisited Mr Fox for the prompt for day 2. Remember him?
Mr Fox met his friend the dragon on his wanderings in the forest. They spent the evening sharing stories next to a fireplace until they got tired and settled down for the night.

Woop! Here I was waiting all September for Inktober to start and then the month started without me noticing!
I haven´t touched my ink and pen since January. I totally forgot how much fun it is and it was surprisingly easy to get back into it. Certainly easier than the previous years. I´m going to follow the official prompt list again and maybe something else… Let´s see what happens.
Just follow the light…

I bought some red ink as I wanted to try out something different. This is what the first experiment looks like.
The ink doesn´t cover as well as I would have expected. Lets see what I will use it for.

Winter storms are still going strong here. I started to enjoy watching the snow hitting the window and got accustomed to cosy indoor life.
I am currently still working on a series of illustrations for a friend. But in the meantime I thought I put this little story of my own together.
On his stroll around the forest Mr. Fox was looking for a good spot to relief himself. Not paying attention of where, he just went about his business.

Before Mr Fox new what happened, he found himself in the big black mouth of the snowman who tried to swallow him whole.
But after the first surprise, Mr Fox started to put up a fight.

On it went. The struggle continued for a while, but eventually Mr Fox was able to free himself and ended up victorious.

The End.
This is Inktober remainder number 2 that I forgot to post. The prompt was called frail.
Flew off my bike the other day. I don´t feel frail but rather bruised and bumped. Otherwise ok.

I just discovered two Inktober drawings that I forgot to post.
This one is titled Husky. I love how it turned out. I´m still a dog person. What could they be looking at though?

Just like that…

We are currently having that terrible winter weather that I hate. It snows one day, only to be followed by heavy rain the day after…. So no chance to enjoy the snow or build a snowman. Therefore an ink version has to do for now.
Have you build a snowman this winter?

I just found this drawing in my sketchbook. I actually did it just before Christmas but then we escaped to the countryside and I forgot all about it.
It´s like flying into the new year. So far so good. It is nice to be warm and cosy at home while a winter storm is raging outside.

Happy New Year everyone!
Let´s see what the next year will bring. Thank you for all your support throughout the year.

Hope you all had a good holiday and survived without any bigger incidents. We spent a couple of days in the Icelandic countryside which was quiet and peaceful. Now back in town where it is time to continue the story of Mr Fox.
The angry snowman did not manage to swallow Mr Fox. Quite the opposite. After a short struggle between Mr Fox and the snowman, only one of them turned out to be victorious!

Another Inktober leftover. Sometimes its just nice to hang out. Either up side down in the air or with a big bowl of ice cream on the couch. Which one do you prefer?
I am clearly for the up side down in the air! Can´t wait to go back to aerial hoop class after the holidays.

I’m wishing you all a happy holiday, and may Santa or Mr Fox bring you lots of lovely presents.

Something amusing before the holidays.
On his stroll through the snow, Mr Fox had a not so nice encounter with the angry snow man, who he managed to piss off by peeing on him.

Another Inktober leftover.
I’ve been slow with updates and responding to comments, as I was on an almost 3 week long pre-Christmas break. It was good to leave the island for a little while and to get some winter sun and good food.
Not sure what Mr Fox drank that night, but it certainly made him dizzy.

Winter is here and a storm warning is on for tomorrow. I think this will be my Christmas card for this year. What do you think?
