Description
A quick sketch of one of my favourite scenes from The Hunger Games. The bit where Katniss taunts the other tributes from her tree. Naturally, I entirely forgot to work on capturing the anxiety of this scene, but whatever man. Just keep chilling in that tree, Katniss. Not like there are folks who want to kill you below. Do I suck at setting a mood, or do I suck at setting a mood, amiright?So, anyways, The Hunger Games is a flawed book, and it's pretty hard to identify with Katniss most of the time, but it's an interesting read and I'm pretty excited for the movie. A large part of that is my love for Jennifer Lawrence.

Exactly my opinion. c:

Where the hell did this hide in my massive pile of messages? UGH.
Check out that bark, man. What are you now, some kind of texture wizard? Diggin' the earthy tones, bro. Why am I talking like this.
I too was kind of skeptical starting the series because of Battle Royale, but my friend insisted so hard she mailed me the entire series. So there's that. But I'm stoked for the movie too. Instead of dressing up for the premiere I may just hand out cupcakes and/or shoot frosting at people.

Aahahaha the bark was a product of watching Deathly Hallows and doodling something that didn't take much concentration. Just doop doop doop.
Oh my goodness cupcakes. Yes. Okay. This is acceptable.

Thank you, Phoenix! It's good to be back to working on my art again.
I enjoyed The Hunger Games! It was very similar to Battle Royale, which honestly has made me a little uneasy about it from the beginning, but I did enjoy it! I'm on to Catching Fire now and am quite happy to not be making comparisons between the two anymore haha.

I really need to buy a small scratchpad to carry with me, because If find at home I only have time for writing. I miss doing art!
You know what? I avoided reading it at first because of the Battle Royale element. Someone told me it had very similar parallels and I wasn't really too hot on that. I love the Battle Royale movie, so it was hard to try and read it knowing there may have been heavy influences, bordering on plagiarism. I'm very happy that I was wrong about it though. There are influences, but as you go along its clear the author is doing her own thing with it. Its more based on the old Roman games than anything. Although I suppose the same goes for Battle Royale in some regards.

Portable sketchpads are so good to have! Mine only gets used in classes. WOOPS.
Yes, there were undeniable parallels between the two. When I first began the book, I found it pretty hard to get into just because all I could do was make comparisons between The Hunger Games and Battle Royale. They're pretty hard to ignore if you know both stories. But personally I found that at about the halfway point of The Hunger Games, or part two, is where the two really diverge. I completely agree with you on the basis from Roman blood sports. Especially in it being used as a form of oppression.
I'm really excited to be on to Catching Fire now. So far it seems like I'll be enjoying it more than the first book.

Hahaha, I know how that is. I should do that, it'd probably relieve some of my writing-related stress.
It almost feels, personally, like the author got really inspired by Battle Royale's ideas and decided to write off of those inspirations. Unfortunately, it shows a bit too much, but hey, at least she didn't pull a Smeyer and just kind of smash a bunch of previous stories together and then throw glitter all over it.
Catching Fire and onwards is so much more gritty and unapologetic. I really enjoyed it.
