WAIT MAN IN GREY IS GONE??? NOOOOOOO

Then besides you. Who else in the Aesop community/family is still alive? I havent been on tumblr much so it was a shock not being able to find Man in Gray anymore 😭😭😭😭

Ah... I'm actually kind of surprised that u think that my blog is still alive (well, barely, but i try) (work is seriously draining nowadays among other life tm stuff)

Tbh I feel like I've fallen out of the ask blog community for a while now. I always say that there's definitely some out there that are vibing, I'm just not aware of them since most of the blogs that i tend to interact with n know arent exactly very present in the scene anymore, but just cos I'm not aware of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Probably.

#its me the mun #mun rambles #SO I DRAFTED A REPLY N FORGOT ABOUT IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS IM SORRY #i meant to go n look for other sop blogs but #i kida got distracted halfway n never ended up getting to that. thats on me #then when i wanted to edit this reply tumblr gave me the middle finger for a while. thankfully tumblr ipad mobile works #support ur local fav askblog by sending them lil asks or just some thoughts #anyway uess who got covid again. slides off the table in a coughing fit #that means. for some weird reason. i have motivation to draw. which is #good? great? this is a roundabout way of saying that im getting to the modern ghost au comic lmao #there arent any asks although i should really. get to my joseph blog soon. that one has still been getting asks im pleasantly surprised #i should also really get around to doing a pinned with all the events n comics that ive done for the blog for easy access

Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 // Part 4 // Part 4.5 // Part 5 // Part 6 //

i haven't forgotten about this series just yet hopefully i'll finish it by this year. anyway this is titled "joseph is dramatic for about 20 minutes"

#identity v #joseph desaulnier #identity v photographer #unconcerned comic #modern ghost au #ok maybe i did forget about it. but then i received a notification of someone liking it so i revisited this comic series #n i got invested again. i only have till the next part planned out n i dont even think i was very satisfied with the draft #i do want to finish this though i hate leaving projects on hold #if u see me being lazy with backgrounds no u didnt /j #this was simultaneously the most fun and most torturous part of the series i think #cos one of the main ideas i had was joseph getting wick to pick up the locket and making a run for it #at the same time. i hate drawing wick i cannot draw dog. sorry wick nothing personal buddy #anyway this is done. expect the next part but not anytime soon. the goal now is to have this done before the year is over

{|{ I was peeking in tumblr after i left for a while.. and i don't know if its a good idea to ask but.. what happened to ' man in grey ' ? I couldn't help but notice the account was now Deactivated:( }|}

Hey there dear anon! Thanks so much for dropping by the inbox, and welcome back XD

I also noticed that man in grey was deactivated for a while, understandably so. Many idv ask blogs that die tend to get deactivated, so while I was a little bummed about it, I'm not surprised.

I also confirmed with man in greys mun that she's "in blog retirement". Considering she's been around much longer then I have, I'd say thats pretty accurate XD. Thank you so much for checking in though, it's nice to know that people still remember and care for these blogs!

#unconcerned ramblings #its me the mun #ppl lose interest n leave fandoms n sometimes old stuff is just too cringe to leave around #theyre not completely gone though. interactions with other blogs will be on other blogs. man in grey has definitely made his mark here XD #having said that. when i do decide to retire the blog ill definitely still keep it up #theres a lot of things that im proud of over here. the blog really inspired me to try so many different things that i usually wouldnt do #n u can definitely see my improvement over time as i got more comfortable with digital art #i personally find it endearing. i do look back on the blog every now n then. usually when someone likes a really old post #theres definitely a lot of cringe as well but. im glad for all that. i know i had a lot of fun with it. n thats all that matters reallt

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Hey, is there any other blogs or media I could possibly follow you on? I really love your art and never get the chance to send an ask (couldn't keep up with IDV after a while). Feel free to ignore if anxious though.

Hey there my dude! Thanks so much for this message and liking my art, no worries about the ask thing cos im also very anxious when it comes to sending stuff aha. Answering is much easier XD

Anyway! I too kind of stopped following idv for a bit. But just in case, my other two idv blogs (@the-count-desaulnier and @the-bloodline-embrace) are there. Fortunately or unfortunately im not on any other platforms, but recently i revived my very dead art blog (@betheflyinggrapes) from 5 or 7 years ago since i have a new chew toy character, so theres that. Just. Please dont scroll too far down. My art from 10 years ago is. Quite disastrous aha

I'll still be here though!! When there's asks in the inbox i will eventually get to them. Eventually being the key word.

#its me the mun #mun rambles #i didnt ramble in the post but i will do it in the tags. lies down seductively. does anyone want to hear about my new pincushion #im bad with horror. i say. as i pick up another horror series #ok i guess idv isnt that much of a horror game. maybe 40% idk im not an expert #i think im just very bad with gore. anything else goes #anyanyway. i got into fe/ar n hu/nger. the second game has a more appealing story to me than the first. so this is just a roundabout way #of saying that the doomed depressed doctor is my favourite. im so predictable im so mad at myself #ive seen!! crossover fanart of sop with this guy. punches myself #ok rant over. im also serious i browsed back to my Really Old Art before i revived it n took 100 psychological damage #ITS SO BAD. punches myself again

more sprites i did for tracy, demi and luca for the yokai rpg coming never

#identity v #tracy reznik #identity v mechanic #luca balsa #identity v prisoner #demi bourbon #identity v barmaid #unconcerned art #this is all i did. other characters i would have made sprites for would be antonio. wu chang. geisha. victor #but i hadnt decided on their roles in the story when i made the sprites #i really just went for the easiest thing to do first n drrw sprites that i ended up being pretty disatisfied eith #i will redraw them later. i said. u know. like a liar #i miss all these tho. im getting to the modern ghost au comic i will try to finish it before the year ends #i swear i will finish it before the bkog completely dies

[theunconcernedembalmer]

idk how long my laptop will survive seeing as i hardly use it anymore so anyway here's an abandoned project from a couple of years ago where i ambitiously tried to make an rpg with the yokai outfits. here are some sprites i made

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #joseph desaulnier #identity v photographer #tracy reznik #identity v mechanic #this is a part 1 i have more. but its not enough for an entire game #i had a couple of glaring plotholed i couldnt resolve #n tbh by the time i got to the other sprites i didnt like the way aesop n joseph turned out cos i did them first #i also meant to shade them but i couldnt get around to it. i think the flats are nicer but i also feel like i should shade #project death by perfectionism. if anyone wants to hear more im more than happy to share about this #i could probably dig up the docs somewhere. i dont have the time or energy to make a full blown game #i am so bad at coding #also shoutout n apology to ish aka azzy mun cos she offered to help with this #but i disappointed both her and myself by not having anything very concrete. im sorry ish but also thank u for the help #anyway seeing as the blog is slowly dying due to lack of asks n interactions n also my full time job that hates me #i might as well dump these here for archive sake #unconcerned art #part 2 coming soon

build god then we'll talk

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #ill be alternating between digital and traditional replies. whichever is easier for me at the time XD #it has been so long since i heard this song i had to look up the lyrics to check #cos that album was such an acid trip i was thinking of some lyrics but it turned out to be another song on the album #i cant even remember how the whole song went. this was a song that took a while for me to warm up to #then again most of a fever you cant sweat out is like that #sop would totally listen to patd. idk about the current one tho #the latest album lost me completely #im not a fan of the 60s style. i prefer the 80s vibe

"Well well well~ It's good to see you after such a long time~ Hope you didn't miss me much.~ I'm surprised you're still kicking around here." @ask-idv-photographer

My duty is to see off the deceased. When I do pass on, I wonder if I will get the same treatment... Probably not.

As for you... Um, welcome back? This doesn't happen very often...

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v ask blog #identity v the embalmer #the french toast: ask-idv-photographer #i think thats ur tag. welcome back faca HAHAHAHAH #feel free to bug my sop. kicks them down the stairs #its been so long i forgot how to draw this one akbdksndoanof

Aaand we're back babey

This time with more purple

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #unconcerned art #its about time i redrew the icon #i missed the blogs anniversary this year #but ye ill be doing a lot more monochrome stuff cos of time n energy constraints #asks will be slow but we will get there #i still feel a little bad that the gatto event wasnt. the best. theres a lot more i could have done with it #but theres no point in dragging it out anymore. dusts hands. it is what it is

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Mr. Gatto, I know you want to chuck Luca to the window.

Do it.

(Also I like ur art mum (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤)

Besides, he'll probably throw me into the wall again... The last time was a pain to clean up...

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #gatto event #aights last of the gatto asks #i wish i had more time to play around with gatto. maybe some day #its time to bring the bastard back before i forget how to draw them /j #bastards back alright dun dun dun dun

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Mr Gatto, is there anything you miss about sharing the lab with Luca?

There are some, but nothing Snow White hasn't achieved yet...

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #gatto event #i have been sitting on this for the longest time i apologize #my creativity isnt what it used to be. i spent so long trying to think of a response #but i got some replies done!! will be spacing it out cos its very likely ill disappear for a couple of weeks at a time #ask box is always open. the best way to get posts out of me is through the ask box. winks

Slides this doodle out for a bit

#identity v #identity v ask blog #unconcerned art #im not really going to tag characters #i know its been a while. i fell into a depressive slump while at work #n things started to get slightly better so i finally had motivation to draw #i will. eventually get to that last gatto ask in the askbox n close the event #maybe its about time to call a semi hiatus. asks are always welcome tho #ill still be around!!! if i have idv doodles or asks coming my way #its really been such a long time. i have not kept up with the ask blog scene. n the lore as well. sweats #i will also. aim to finish the modern ghost au comic with victor. eventually #also to new followers. hello!!! hope u have fun scrolling through the blog. help urself to the dumb comics i have sometimes #n feel free to drop an ask. thats the easiest way to bring activity back to the blog XD

[theunconcernedembalmer]

mr gatto is snow white full grown? like is she still a kitten or is she just small? either way she is so cute! you have very excellent cats!

Thank you, she is still one of the best companions I have.

#aesop carl #identity v #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #gatto event #i dont know much about the cats and ive decided neither does sop #i dont even know how old my pets are. to be fair my pets are. turtle and fish. so who cares right

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Mr Gatto, do you like doing your job? Is it something you enjoy doing?

(Also take care of yourself Mun! :D)

Even after everything... I don't think I will be changing my job anytime soon.

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v ask blog #identity v the embalmer #gatto event #hi anon thanks for the concern XD #im doing alright i just have this insane depressive block that has been impeding y creative processes #so ive been trying a lot of things to get out of it #one option is to wait it out but im miserable doing nothing. so i will force it out and feel slightly better that at least i did something #i probably should have spaced oout my posts i clear the inbox really really quickly #ill try to get some stuff out while i can. since im free for the month before work resumes n i disappear again #seriously though its frustrating sitting down staring at a blank canvas for 10 mins with 0 ideas and low energy #and then resigning myself to going back to lying down and mindlessly scrolling twitter or whatever #every single time i try to do something i end up back on my bed. for days on end. it makes me want to throw myself down a flight of stairs #at least with asks i have something to work towards and thats so much better even if i do end up back on the bed afterwards #this sounds like a very pathetic show of begging for asks. which i guess it is??? #its just that. i used to have so many ideas. i used to draw so many comics. i want to cry every time i compare that with myself now #has work killed off so much of my creativity? probably. but i just really want it back. so im trying my best #i didnt mean to get this emotional in the tags but this is really something ive been struggling with a lot right now #so if u have the time to spare. just drop something dumb in my inbox. it helps a great deal. much greater than i can express #but anyway if ur reading this im still very grateful for the support u have shown to the blog in one way or another. #so thank you very much n i hope the day will treat you kindly #less than three

(( mr gatto do you ever burn ur hand from hot coffee or are the gloves protective enough . . ))

((gloves are surprisingly good at this. real life story under the cut))

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #identity v the embalmer #identity v ask blog #its me the mun #fun fact i still have a very vague scar from this very dumb stunt that i pulled #seriously tho mine are just latex gloves and they do wonders with heat insulation #while mr gattos are. cloth. so theyre probably better #probably. i havent actually tried using cloth gloves #they look fancy. always kinda wanted to try wearing them but theres like absolutely no reason for me to #since its perpetually at least 30 degrees celcius here #gatto event
