Inktober 2017 - Semaine 1

[jainas]

La première semaine de Inktober est terminée !
J'ai beau râler quand il faut que je m'y mette le soir, je m'amuse pour l'instant comme une folle... même si ma main un peu rouillée ne fait pas toujours ce que j'avais en tête et qu'il faut que je me rachète du materiel. Mais bon, comme on dit : l'art est le culte de l'erreur ! XD

Et je prends toujours les citations, poèmes et autres bouts de chansons pour nourrir l'inspiration...
Donc n'hésitez pas à spammer les commentaires et à faire péter les prompts ;) !


Day 1
No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body.
Margaret Sanger



Day 2
Quand on mettra les cons sur orbite, t'as pas fini de tourner !
Gabin, dans Le Pacha



Day 3
Qui chevauche si tard à travers la nuit et le vent ?
C'est le père avec son enfant.
Il porte l'enfant dans ses bras,
Il le tient ferme, il le réchauffe
.
« Mon fils, pourquoi cette peur, pourquoi te cacher ainsi le visage ?
Père, ne vois-tu pas le roi des Aulnes,
Le roi des Aulnes, avec sa couronne et ses longs cheveux ?
— Mon fils, c'est un brouillard qui traîne...

...
Le Roi des Aulnes - Goethe



Day 4 & 5
And I shall reign with phoenix fire and dragon blood in my Veins.

J'étais en retard donc j'ai décidé de faire mes inktobers #4 et #5 d'un seul jet... Une pierre deux coups !
La citation était (a priori faussement) attribuées à l'impératrice Cixi, mais bon, c'est mon inktober, pas un article dans Historia, et j'ai décidé que d'où qu'elle vienne c'était une citation trop classe pour ne pas l'utiliser... : D







Day 6
Love does not just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
Ursula K. Le Guin




Day 7
Promenons-nous...
(pendant que le loup n'y est pas...)

Great pieces :)

[jainas]

Thank you very much!

[mific]

I love these SO MUCH! I put all the quotes into google translate - does "les cons" mean criminals/convicts like in English slang? Or is it something else in French?
Empress Cixi is amazing and gorgeous, and the wolf is terrifying with that quote, but the Le Guin qoute with the heart-shaped bread - that's my favourite!

[jainas]

Thank you so much!
In this case les cons can be translated by "morons" or "dickheads"... "The Day they put morons in orbit, you will spin for a long time!" It is a quote from an iconic old french movie... that I actually haven't seen. (Proof that the quote is indeed iconic ^^).

The wolf quote is from a children song "Lets go for a walk/in the woods/ while the wolf is not there/ if the wolf was there/ he would eat us..." And then they call for the wolf to know if he is there, and an adult answer with a big voice "I'm not there, I'm in my bath/ putting on my shirts/ my shoes" etc etc... Until he IS there, and chase the chidren. ^^ It is very famous, and just the two first words would suffice to any french person to recognise it...

Le Guin is a wonderful writer, and I love this quote to pieces... :)

[goss]

These are all fantastic! I especially love the first one. :)

[jainas]

Thank you! :)
This is a beautifull quote, and as soon as I read it the image was very clear in my head. I just had to start my inktober with this one!

[amberdreams]

Wow these are so varied and really wonderful. I really love the phoenix and dragon one, really dramatic.

[jainas]

Thank you very much!
I love those vivid inks, they do help to get a dramatic feel! But I try not to overuse them... yet. ^^

[amberdreams]

Well I'm looking forward to your next week's efforts!

[flo_nelja]

Oh, j'aime beaucoup ! J'ai une faiblesse particulière pour celle du jour 3, parce que mythologie...

[jainas]

Merci beaucoup !

Si tu as d'autres idées de prompts, mythologiques ou non, je suis preneuse ! J'ai utilisé mes prompts les plus "évidents" cette semaine... J'ai encore pas mal de citations qui me plaisent dans la manche, mais un peu de diversité me ferait du bien !

[adafrog]

Very good.

[jainas]

Thanks!

[syntheid]

I really like how these turned out, this is a really cool theme. I really like the wolf and the Margaret Sanger quote especially.

[jainas]

Thank you!
I find it very funny how everyone seems to prefer a different drawing... :D

[mekare]

These are all fantastique, but I had to laugh when I recognized the opening lines of "Der Erlkönig" by Goethe (I'm German btw). My French isn't very good anymore, j'ai oublié beaucoup! And at first I wanted to ask for a translation for that long text, but then I recognized the words "C'est le père avec son enfant" and the rest was clear to me :-)
I think my favourite is the quote from day 1 and day 6. Though the dragons are really impressive and I loved how you connected the drawings.
Looking forward to next week! A bientot.

[jainas]

Thank you very much!
Don't hesitate to ask for a translation if you need to! But I have to say you evidently have enought french left to get by if you recognised der Erlkönig! :D

I'm a bit late on my day 11, but I'll ty to catch up today... A bientôt ! :D

[malurette]

Ooh, pretty!!

[sexycazzy]

I quite liked the planet one as well as the day 4 & 5 drawings - brilliant!
