Got sidetracked by other projects for a bit (including paying work for once, which was nice, if on a stressfully short deadline), but I got another couple of panel layouts pinned down and sketched in most of four more panels this evening, so progress

Big thumbnails partially done: 16 pages out of 24

Big thumbnails finished: 1 page

I really want to get this Sam comic fully thumbnailed before the end of the month, so in the interests of accountability:

Out of 24 pages total:

Small thumbnails finished: 14

Small thumbnails partially done: 8

Had a discussion with a close friend last night and I'm curious.

Feel free to rb and tell me about your childhood best buddies! ^_^ Mine was a unicorn that my grandmother made me when I was 3 named Kasma, and I still have her!

#yup! i was given hannah bear as a baby and she's lived in my bed ever since #she doesn't get hugged but she guards the ladder gap (i have a loft bed) #i've also got a few other childhood toys on a shelf #including a beanie baby cat called prance who i think is older than my youngest sister #polls

I've accidentally gotten Way too invested in some characters I've been playing with for a 'one of my beloved early 2000s crime dramas but this time people are actually queer' type story, so here, have some middle-aged gays

George is a detective, Tim is a forensic pathologist, they're an established couple because I don't really write romance but I do enjoy a bit of domesticity, and any resemblance you may notice to other characters that I've drawn a lot is probably entirely deliberate, this is an exercise in self-indulgence

#original character #character design #mlm art #original character art #oc artwork #don't ask me why sometimes i post art on this blog directly and not my art blog #there's no coherent system it's just vibes #anyway i love these guys i got very attached very quickly #yes they're blatantly based on other characters but they're becoming their own people rapidly as ocs tend to #also the only reason i'm not drawing them as specific actors #is because i think this story would make a neat comic and you can't just steal someone's face #i'm too good at likenesses to get away with that #in my mind though these guys are still played by colin firth and a guy called tom ward #but i shall be drawing them as Those Actors but Slightly To The Left for plausible deniability #anyway i've got a whole movie-length story plotted out with these nerds #expect to see more of them #artistic endeavours #personal stuff #my OCs #gay detective thriller thing #which really needs a better name than that... #george glen #tim kingswood #comics stuff

Tried and failed to make a coherent post about this but the Granny Weatherwax moment that lives with me forever that I never see quoted is the “what has he ever done to me, that I should hurt him so”

I'd like to introduce everyone to this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).

This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.

But that's not all! Behold!

You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!

It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!

I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.

So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.

#yeah no i love this thing #something about the cheerful patchwork doll vibes and the thoroughly macabre subject matter delights me #like it's the flesh tones combined with the floral fabric #also the bright pink insides and the cartoony skeleton #and the inherent cosy vibes of crochet but it's being used for internal organs #love it #art #sculpture

You should only write in present tense with extreme caution.

not because it's bad or anything but because if you do it even once you're going to be editing the bits where you shifted tenses out of your writing for the rest of your life

#i write in past tense by preference #but the friend I do a lot of editing for (hey squire!) prefers present #it does crunch my brain gears a bit switching between the two #but it's fun it keeps me on my toes #writing stuff

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#useful #I'm eventually going to go back through my art blog and add image descriptions #but for now I'm at least putting them on new posts #it's quite fun really when you get into it

People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine.  If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?”  The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them.  Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?
