I'm Mason Sklar, an illustrator living in Minneapolis. I'm currently a junior at MCAD.
First thing I did in Illustrated Notebook.
It’s fun! We get to deface books! This is the cinema of Dirk Bogarde, a British actor I’ve never head of.
The assignment is “afterlife” so I’m inventing a sort of cult pantheon and imagining what their idea of the afterlife would be like. These are the gods, Father, Uncle, Captain and Presidente.
I’ve been doing it all with colored pencil on acrylic, which is workin out pretty well.
LMFAO!!! I can’t stop laughing and I spit my coke out

So first off, these are not good books based no that I have read the first one. It seems like it was written around Paolini’s discovery of accents on the keyboard. The plot is a scifi/fantasy mashup of popular sources and doesn’t really offer anything new. The most exciting thing about it is he was 15 when he started writing it.
Literal badness aside, there’s one thing that really boils my goat about these books and that’s how they’re caleld the “Inheritance Cycle.” Do you know what a cycle is? A cycle ends where it starts. This is not a cycle. It’s a series. The beginning is different from the end.
Here’s a digram of a mythological cycle as described by Joseph Campbell. Notice how it starts where it ends. That’s a cycle. Maybe Paolini figured he didn’t “appropriate” enough from Star Wars, so he wanted to throw some Joseph Campbell in the mix.
My problem with it is it’s not an accurate descriptor. You should call things what they are. (it’s a series, what’s wrong with that word?)
Probably the best character in this movie
