Fan Art: Hunger Games (Gale Hawthorne)

Time for some fan art brought to you by deviantART. Today I bring you drawings of Gale Hawthorne of The Hunger Games trilogy. Personally, I think they casted him the best out of anybody ๐Ÿ™‚

Featured image:ย dbrytpurl09

Let’s check out some artwork!

This is a painting done byย vampirebangs. This scene is from “Catching Fire” after Gale gets whipped and Mrs. Everdeen and Prim try to heal him up. Great job!

EmmilyTMย does a realistic piece of artwork of the actor Liam that plays Gale. So realistic, and I love the intensity in his face!

Another realistic depiction of Gale done byย venellah. It looks more like a picture than a drawing, fantastic job!

SilkSpectrellย gives their interpretation of mister Gale, and I like how this one shows him being a hunter, since that’s the main basis of his character. Very well done!

Sketch of Gale and Katniss done byย mseregon. Very cute and simple, but also great shading!

Wow! Check out this realistic drawing of Gale done byย DarkCalamity! It’s so realistic and very well shaded, it must have too quite a while!

Sneak peek into “Catching Fire” when Gale gives Katniss a surprise kiss.ย Catching-Smokeย draws this scene, and I absolutely love Katniss’ face and how desperately Gale is holding her to him. Well done!

Realistic piece of artwork done byย Goldfhie. It’s so real I could’ve sworn this was a photograph, I had to squint my eyes to see that it’s actually a piece of art! Although if you want to get technical, I guess every human being is still a piece of art without being drawn. Okay, getting sidetracked here. Enjoy the artwork, not me ๐Ÿ™‚

Catching-Smokeย draws Gale and Katniss in the woods where the two are usually found together. I love the connection you can see between the two even over a drawing!

Finally! Yes! We get to see a drawing of Gale with a bow and arrow, woohoo! Well done,ย kakao-bean!

Check out these artists on deviantART, they have more drawings that you can look at ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks to these artists for brining us such talent, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Fan Art Friday: Fire, Hunger Games Style

Fire Friday!

What better way to celebrate the entrancing element of fire than to celebrate it Hunger Games style! Today I bring you fan art of Katniss and Peeta, and of course with the idea of fire in hand. Every art piece is brought to you by deviantART, and make sure to check out the artists’ profile too to see what other pieces they’ve done! ๐Ÿ™‚

Featured image thanks toย rumonica!

palnk‘s interpretation of Katniss’ wedding dress burning away to show Cinna’s creation of the Mockingjay. I love her face!

Oh, I’m in love withย Patsie‘s drawing! Katniss looks so elegantly dangerous! The detail of the fire is outstanding!

I thinkย Appelmosย gives us a little peek into Mockingjay. In it, Katniss is equipped with different arrows for battle, and one of them sets on fire. The fiercer side of fire for sure.

Wow! Look at this realistic art done byย nma-art. I love the colors and how the fire becomes a part of her hair. Beautiful!

Another wedding dress interpretation done byย Patsie. I love how the background looks like the fire is smoldering just like her dress!

Oh-la-la! Peeta and Katniss at the beginning of the Games. I love howย martinaceciliaย did the fire here, that’s exactly how I pictured it too!

Ah! Loving this byย Jandruff! Such intensity, and that’s amazing how they put faces in the fire too! That’s the fierce Katniss that we all know!

Aw! I’ve never seen a chariot ride done like this one byย palnk. I love Peeta’s smile, and how Katniss is blowing a kiss ๐Ÿ™‚ And the fire looks stunning and so elegant too!

fictographย does their own version of Katniss’ interview dress for the first Games. I love how the dress has a braid on it too, and how the bottom has a small hint of fire yet to come!

The wedding dress is entirely burned away now, and Katniss has been turned into Cinna’s creation of the Mockingjay. Very well done byย MartAiConan!

I wanted to add something unique and different too byย Munchkinmay. They took a picture of their sibling’s eye and put the mockingjay pin reflecting inside of it. I thought this was really creative, and it makes it look like fire!

And last but not least is this piece of art done byย lizzomarek.ย Katniss: the girl who was on fire. I love her dress, her face, the fire, I just love everything! Fantastic job!

Beautiful artwork! And may the odds be ever in your favor this weekend! For instance, not being set on fire ๐Ÿ™‚

“Catching Fire” Arena

So, I think a lot of us are curious as to the arena in “Catching Fire.” Katniss gets called in to compete again in the Games, this time around it’s called the Quatar Quell. It’s held with previous victors, one male and one female from each district, to compete once again against each other.

First off, we get introduced to a few new characters. Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Beetee, and Wiress. These are Katniss’ allies in the arena, and of course Peeta competes with her as well; Peeta volunteers when Haymitch gets called to compete, just so he can be with Katniss and fight for her.

But this time around, it’s Katniss’ goal to keep Peeta alive. And as we come to realize, that’s everyone else’s goal too. But of course Katniss doesn’t realize that this is all just a plan in a bigger picture…

So, whatย is in the arena? Well, let’s step into the first thing Katniss sees when raised above the ground: “Something seems to be wrong with my vision. The ground is too bright and shiny and keeps undulating. I squint down at my feet and see that my metal plate is surrounded by blue waves that lap up over my boots. Slowly I raise my eyes and take in the water spreading out in every direction.

I can only form one clear thought.

This is no place for a girl on fire.” (p.263)

There you have it: this place is full of water. So, what else is there? The “fun” only starts here!

Quick review of weapons: Katniss has her arrows, and mister Finnick Odair has his trident (he’s from district four, the district of fishing). These two as allies? Amazing weapon. Katniss drawing thanks toย friedChicken365ย and Finnick drawing thanks toย Patsie on deviantART

ย ย 

Here we go with the elements of the arena. It’s structured as a clock (as Wiress figures out, clever woman), each hour holding a new horror that the Gamemakers have constructed. Some of the hours are a mystery, but here is the sketch that Peeta constructed of the hours they know about:

Hour 1-2: Blood Rain

Hour 2-3: Fog

Hour 3-4: Monkeys

Hour 4-5: JabberJays

Hour 5-6: Beast

Hour 6-10: Unknown

Hour 10-11: Wave

Hour 11-12: Insects with pincers

Hour 12-1: Lightening

Let me break it down more for you. (drawing thanks to shadenightfoxย on deviantART)

Blood Rain

We don’t get to see much of this element, but as you can imagine, it’s literally a blood bath. *knee slap* ๐Ÿ˜€

Fog

This is one of the first things we run into. It’s fast and vicious, anyone that gets caught up in it gets suffocated and practically has a seizure. Finnick’s partner dies in this one, she purposely walks into the fog so that Finnick can carry Peeta to safety instead of her. Very emotional scene. Oh, I believe the fog also damages the skin.

Monkeys

These guys are a crazy bunch. First running into them they were peaceful in the trees, but once their hour hit, they went bananas *another knee slap* It’s a very intense fight scene with these monkeys, to say the least.

Jabberjays

Yup, another bird experimentally gone wrong. These guys mock any pitch they hear and exert it back. In this case, these Jabberjays have acquired the sounds of people screaming, or to be more specific: Katniss’ loved ones, like Gale and Prim. A thick piece of glass keeps them in to hear the torture of these screams, so they’re forced to listen to this for an hour. You can imagine them trying to keep their sanity. Oh, and Finnick gets stuck in here too, and he has to listen to the loved one of his Annie screaming.

Beast

We never get to see this beast, we only get to see people getting lifted from this part of the arena, their bodies horribly mangled.

Wave

I think this one is self explanatory: huge wave. Wipes out aย lot of stuff.

Insects with pincers

We never see this sector of the arena, but Katniss, Finnick, and Beetee hypothesized that they existed at this hour of the arena.

Lightening

Also self explanatory, and this lightening is dang vicious! Beetee uses this lightening to his advantage later in the story.

Those are the elements of the arena! What happens there I’ll leave up to readers, or for those of you lazy butt’s, when the next movie comes out in 2013.

Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor! Just remember…

tick, tock…tick, tock…

Fan Art: Hunger Games (Peeta Mellark)

Today I bring you fan art from the website deviantart, and today’s character is Peeta Mellark! The boy with the bread ๐Ÿ™‚ To be honest, although I think Hutcherson did a good job, I just pictured Peeta a little differently. Taller, bulkier, kind of a softer voice. But I know these things can be hard to pick out of actors, so I’m just glad they picked someone who could actually act! And thanks for the featured drawing of Katniss and Peeta, done byย chelsea-bee!

Anyway, let’s see how other people envision him ๐Ÿ™‚

I love howย friedChicken365ย did Peeta here, instead of just the cliche “boy with the bread” thing going on. Although we get introduced to Peeta’s talents in the first book, in the second we come across his talents of painting on canvases. He ends up showing Katniss a bunch of scenes from the Games, and she hates them since they’re so realistic. I love Peeta’s face in the drawing!

Wow! Check out this realistic drawing byย StreetWalker7! That’s amazing detail and shading.

Here’s a closer look at Mockingjay, so people who haven’t read, then spoiler! I love howย MariaSunderlandย visualized what Peeta would look like in his worst of times. To quote in the book: “No. Don’t take the handcuffs off. They help hold me together. When I feel myself slipping, I dig my wrists into them, and the pain helps me focus.” -Peeta

I like this one byย AznNerd because I think people tend to forget that Peeta was on fire too!

AMClaussen drew Peeta the day that they reunited after the Games. I love how they drew him! He doesn’t look too young, and doesn’t look like an adult either, so it’s awesome! And I love the hair!

Aww, I like howย O-Aredhel-Oย did Peeta here, back in district 12 doing his little pastries. What do you think he’s writing? I think Katniss’ name ๐Ÿ™‚

SatelliteGhost paints the boy with the bread. I love the use of colors in this painting, it makes him look pure in some way, which Peeta is. Love how they depicted that even just through color!

Real or not real? A peek into Mockingjay,ย kara-lijaย draws Peeta and Katniss lying in bed together ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s hard to find pictures of Peeta by himself, usually he’s paired with miss Katniss. Beautifully done!

Realistic drawing done byย khinson. Wonderfully done!

Keep on being artistic, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Fan Art: Hunger Games (Katniss Everdeen)

This fan art day I’d love to dedicate to the Hunger Games trilogy, and this week’s focus is the main character Katniss Everdeen! All artwork is from deviantart ๐Ÿ™‚

(featured picture thanks to FriedChicken365ย drawing it, and CalyD for coloring it)

Wonderful water colors done by Black-Cherry007! Very realistic, it probably took a long time!

Wow, wonderful paint job of Rue and Katniss byย rumonica.ย That scene was so sad! Look how wonderfully done the mockingjay pin is! Stunning.

Lovin’ this picture drawn byย Ratgirlstudios.ย Her face is priceless! Such a perfect Katniss, it catches her attitude perfectly!

Cool action shot byย soyivang. It’s hard drawing action scenes, so very well done! I like the little attention to detail, like the blood on her forehead. The hot colors really make the mood stand out of the urgency, and also goes with the theme of “the girl on fire.”

Awesome!ย pebbled took a different approach and drew the outfits Katniss wears throughout the whole series! Iย love the dress that’s on fire, that’s exactly how I pictured it too!

Wow. A realistic painting done byย Serena-Kenobi when Katniss is pulled up into the arena. This is absolutely amazing beyond words!

Painting done byย daekazu. I liked this one so much because of how realistic Gale is, how Peeta is a bit twisted to look a bit more Peeta-ish (sorry, but Hutcherson isn’t blonde enough for me), and Katniss is uniquely drawn from their imagination. Awesome!

Amazing painting done byย len-yan.ย I love how even the background is extremely detailed, I feel like I’m really there with her. Her face is amazing, and who knows what she’s up to? Going to check snares, looking for Peeta, perhaps just tracking something else? I think this captures the intensity of the book very well, it’s rare to find such a realistic background with a character!

I had to put this one because it made me laugh! Katniss Everdeen doing it Adele style. Good thinking toย Jackaloo for drawing this!

Last but certaintly not least, this absolutely beuatiful drawing done byย MartAiConan. This is Katniss in “Catching Fire,” right after her wedding dress burns away and she gets turned into the mockingjay. Absolutely stunning!

Check out all of the other artwork that these talented people did on deviantart! Hope you enjoyed all of these peoples’ creativity, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Meme Monday

It’s Monday again, so time to bring you some more meme magic! Sit yourself back, eat the last office meal that was probably a coworkers and you’re pretending their name wasn’t on it, and then enjoy these memes.

Yay for Hunger Games memes!

Hope you enjoyed! Have any funny memes you wish to add? Go on ahead! And may the odds be ever in your favor.

“I don’t think they’ll let them have dessert…And you can!” -Effie

“Manners.” -Effie (to Katniss after she attacks Peeta)

“Nice job, sweetheart. Nice dress too…not yours.” -Haymitch (to Katniss and then Effie)

“Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here itโ€™s safe, here itโ€™s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.” -Katniss (singing)

“Well, say something.” “I’m not good at saying something.” “Then, come here. Please” -Katniss and Peeta

“Katniss, you’re not gonna risk your life for me. I’m not gonna let you.” “You’d do it for me. Wouldn’t you?” -Katniss and Peeta

“I heard the cannon. That’s nightlock, Peeta! You’d be dead in a minute!” “I didn’t know!” “You scared me to death! Damn you.” “I’m sorry…I’m sorry.” -Katniss and Peeta

“We should probably hunt around here. We don’t have very much food left.” “Ok, I’ll take the bow…I’m just kidding.” -Katniss and Peeta

“Go on. Shoot. Then we both go down, and you win. Go on. I’m dead anyway. I always was, right? I couldn’t tell that ’til now. How’s that? Is that what they want, huh? I can still do this. One more kill. This is the only thing I know how to do. Bringing pride to my district. Not that it matters.” -Cato

“I couldn’t imagine life without him.” -Katniss (with Peeta)

“So, what happens when we get back?” “I don’t know. I guess we try to forget.” “I don’t want to forget.” -Peeta and Katniss

Thirty Things to Look Forward to in “Catching Fire”

It’s Thursday, so you know what that means?

Thirty Thursday!

This Thursday I decided to think of thirty things to look forward to in the next movie in the Hunger Games series: Catching Fire. Trust me, it was hard narrowing it down to thirty things! And yes, you can imagine this post will be full of spoilers, so if you haven’t read the book yet then don’t bother reading onward (although I know some of you will anyway).

1. President Snow practically forcing Katniss to get married to Peeta.

2. Gale declaring his love for Katniss.

2. The tour Katniss and Peeta have to go on to “flaunt” their win.

4. The beginning of the uprising in Rue’s district.

5. Katniss finding out she’ll be competing in the Quater Quell, and Peeta volunteers to be with her instead of Haymitch.

6. The suspition of there being a district thirteen.

7. Katniss getting drunk. Ha!

8. Gale getting whipped, and the after affect when he’s brought back to Katniss’ house.

9. Katniss telling Caesar that she’s pregnant with Peeta’s child.

10. Her wedding dress burning away into a feathered dress instead, with sleeves as wings. Cinna turns her into the mockingjay.

11. The famous sugarcube scene with mister Finnick Odair.

12. Johanna Mason, along with the rest of the important characters competing (such as Beetee and Wires).

13. Katniss hanging up a dummy and writing Seneca Crane’s name on it.

14. Peeta painting the scene of Rue’s death, the way the Gamemakers didn’t show on TV, but how it really went.

15. Cinna getting murdered in front of Katniss right before she’s lifted to the arena.

16. The surroundings of the new arena: water. “This is no place for a girl on fire.”

17. Finnick’s trident.

18. Finnick saving Peeta’s life; actually, a lot of them do just to keep him alive. So Katniss stays alive.

19. The gas that ends up killing Finnick’s partner. Oh, and we also learn whom Finnick really loves, miss Annie, back at his district (which is four, the one of fishing. Hence: trident).

20. The jabberjays torturing Katniss and Finnick with a perfect mimic of their loved ones.

21. The crazy monkeys in the arena.

22. Tick, tick, tick…(only readers will get that one).

23. Finnick and Katniss playing a prank on Peeta.

24. Peeta’s personal talk with Katniss, which includes giving her a pearl.

25. Johanna and Katniss getting into a fight.

26. Katniss aiming her arrow upward and piercing it at the top of the arena.

27. Katniss getting pulled out of the Quater Quell.

28. Haymitch admitting to her that a lot of things were planned in the arena, down to when to save whom, since the head Gamemaker is against the Capitol.

29. Peeta’s life being questioned, and Katniss’ rage is inlighted from her promise to save him being crushed.

30. Gale coming to visit, saying that her closest family is safe from a bombing, but the rest of district twelve is destroyed.

Those are just some plot points that I’m looking forward to in the next movie, what are you looking forward to?

May the odds be ever in your favor!

The Hunger Games quotes: Mockingjay

Time to quote the best of the last book in The Hunger Games series: “Mockingjay.”

This one is also jam packed with awesomeness, then again what book of the series isn’t? Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

“Every single refugee was granted automatic citizenship to the authorities of 13. Still, I hate them. But, of course, I hate almost everybody now. Myself more than anyone.” -Katniss, Ch.1

“I squeeze my eyes shut and try to reach for him across the hundreds and hundreds of miles, to send my thoughts into his mind, to let him know he is not alone. But he is. And I can’t help him.” -Katniss (thinking of Peeta), Ch.1

“Positioned on my dresser, that white-as-snow rose is a personal message to me. It speaks of unfinished business. It whispers, I can find you. I can reach you. Perhaps I am watching you now.” -Katniss, Ch.1

“I look in his eyes and see my own reflected there. Our hands find each other, holding fast to a part of 12 that Snow has somehow failed to destroy.” -Katniss (with Gale), Ch.2

“Now why don’t we ask the guards to take me back to my quarters so I can build another hundred card houses?” -Peeta, Ch.2

“On the final page, under a sketch of my mockingjay pin, Cinna’s written, I’m still betting on you.” -Katniss, Ch.3

“We hunt, like in the old days. Silent, needing no words to communicate, because here in the woods we move as two parts of one being.” -Katniss (with Gale), Ch.4

“There’s no point in trying to dictate what Gale thinks. Which, if I’m honest, is one reason I trust him.” -Katniss, Ch.5

“They’ll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.” -Finnick (to Katniss), Ch.5

“And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies.” -Haymitch, Ch.5

“Then he whips off his hospital gown, leaving him in just his underwear. ‘Why? Do you find this’ –he strikes a ridiculously provocative pose–‘distracting?’ ” -Finnick (to Katniss), Ch.6

“Well, don’t expect us to be too impressed. We just saw Finnick Odair in his underwear.” -Boggs, Ch.6

“Anything else?” “While I was waiting…I ate your lunch.” -Katniss and Haymitch, Ch.8

“Ask yourself, do you really trust the people you’re working with? Do you really know what’s going on? And if you don’t…find out.” -Peeta (to Katniss over broadcast), Ch.8

“If you burn, you burn with us!” -Katniss, Ch.8

“My mother just wanted me to forget it. So, of course, every word was immediately, irrevocably branded into my brain.” -Katniss (about “The Hanging Tree”) Ch.9

They can’t hurt me. I’m not like the rest of you. There’s no one left I love.” -Johanna (Katniss’ flashback), Ch.10

“Katniss, I don’t think President Snow will kill Peeta. If he does, he won’t have anyone left you want. He won’t have any way to hurt you.” -Prim, Ch.10

“What will break me?” -Katniss, Ch.11

“Better not to give in to it. It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.” -Finnick, Ch.11

“Several sets of arms would embrace me. But in the end the only person I truly want to comfort me is Haymitch, because he loves Peeta, too. I reach out for him and say something like his name and he’s there, holding me and patting my back. ‘It’s okay. It’ll be okay, sweetheart.’ He sits me on a length of broken marble pillar and keeps an arm around me while I sob.” -Katniss and Haymitch, Ch.11

“Poison. the perfect weapon for a snake.” -Katniss (about Snow), Ch.12

“My lips are just forming his name when his fingers lock around my throat.” -Katniss (with Peeta), Ch.12

“Gale’s touch and taste and heat remind me that at least my body’s still alive, and for the moment it’s a welcome feeling. I empty my mind and let the sensations run through my flesh, happy to lose myself.” -Katniss, Ch.14

“What’s going on in your head?” “I don’t know.” “Then it’s like kissing someone who’s drunk. It doesn’t count.” -Gale and Katniss, Ch.14

“My words hang in the air. I look to the screen, hoping to see them recording some wave of reconciliation going through the crowd. Instead I watch myself get shot on television.” -Katniss, Ch.15

“I must have loved you a lot.” “You did.” -Peeta and Katniss, Ch.16

“Peeta had put me to bed and I had asked him to stay with me as I was drifting off. He had whispered something I couldn’t quite catch. But some part of my brain had trapped his single word of reply and let it swim up through my dreams to taunt me now. ‘Always.’ ” -Katniss, Ch.16

“What? My head doctor says I’m not supposed to censor my thoughts. It’s part of my therapy.” -Johanna Mason, Ch.17

“He never lets go of Annie’s hand. Not when they walk, not when they eat. I doubt he ever plans to. She’s lost in some daze of happiness. There are still moments when you can tell something slips in her brain and another world blinds her to us. But a few words from Finnick call her back.” -Katniss, Ch.17

“Oh, Peeta. Don’t make me sorry I restarted your heart.” -Finnick, Ch.17

“I cannot take orders.” -Katniss, Ch.18

“I clench his hands to the point of pain. ‘Stay with me.’ His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. ‘Always,’ he murmurs.” -Katniss and Peeta, Ch.22

“Far below, I can just make out Finnick, struggling to hang on as three mutts tear at him. As one yanks his head to take the death bite, something bizarre happens. It’s as if I’m Finnick, watching images of my life flash by. The mast of a boat, a silver parachute, Mags laughing, a pink sky, Beetee’s trident, Annie in her wedding dress, waves breaking over rocks. Then it’s over.” -Katniss, Ch.22

“I know what blood poisoning is, Katniss. Even if my mother isn’t a healer. You said that same thing to me in the first Hunger Games. Real or not real?” “Real.” -Peeta and Katniss, Ch.23

“No, you won her over. Gave up everything for her. Maybe that’s the only way to convince her you love her.” Gale (to Peeta), Ch.23

“Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can’t survive without.” -Gale, Ch.23

“First I get a glimpse of the blond braid down her back…Trying to shout her name above the roar. I’m almost there, almost to the barricade, when I think she hears me. Because for just a moment, she catches sight of me, her lips from my name. And that’s when the rest of the parachutes go off.” -Katniss, Ch.24

“Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other.” -President Snow, Ch.25

“Gradually, I’m forced to accept who I am. A badly burned girl with no wings. With no fire. And no sister.” -Katniss, Ch.25

“Closing my eyes doesn’t help. Fire burns brighter in the darkness.” -Katniss, Ch.25

“The point of my arrow shifts upward. I release the string. And President Coin collapses over the side of the balcony and plunges to the ground. Dead.” -Katniss, Ch.26

“What is it, sweetheart? More boy trouble?” -Haymitch, Ch.26

“I no longer feel any allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despise being one myself.” -Katniss, Ch.27

“Haymitch drinks until the liquor runs out, and then raises geese until the next train arrives. Fortunately, the geese can take pretty good care of themselves.” -Katniss, Ch.27

“…what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, ‘You love me. Real or not real?’ I tell him, ‘Real.’ ” -Katniss and Peeta, Ch.27

Here it’s safe, here it’s warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow

brings them true

Here is the place where I love you.” -Katniss, Epilogue
