DVD cover art of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Gotta not use my dominant hand for the evening so instead of writing, drawing, or gaming I'm watching some movies

Thanks!

Digital painting progress thread 🎨🧵

Didn't plan to show the amount of fruit and veggies I've used for practice but after spending some time reviewing to gauge my progress, I'm actually pretty proud of some of them

Here are some of the practice pieces I've done so far in roughly chronological order

10 hours left! Ends midnight UTC. 🔪🩸

Two Saturdays from now, I'll be at the local comic shop vending for Free Comic Book Day, and the following Friday I'll be taking commissions and vending small amounts of art in Commissioner's Corner at Furry Weekend Atlanta.

Okay well now I gotta rewatch 28 Days Later because I feel like that theme has been central to all of these movies. I haven't watched the first two films in 15 years so I only recall a little bit of them, but I feel like I'm right.

Would like to see how these themes are carried forward in the sequel; whether Jim and his daughter(?) share a similar view as the Islanders or if they are more like Kelson OH WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED HOW JIM GOUGED OUT THAT DUDE'S EYEBALLS IN 28 DAYS LATER AND FRAMED HIM THE SAME WAY AS THE INFECTED!!

- that places everyone and everything beneath him.

Kelson is the antithesis, showing the need for kindness and connection that allows human beings to survive and heal. He doesn't elevate himself the way Jimmy does, even as they both see the infected and non-infected as synonymous.

Sir Jimmy is a fascinating villain to me; a fascistic charlatan struggling to maintain control over his group. I feel like he sees his Fingers in much the same way as he sees his victims or the infected- worth consideration only insofar as they allow him justify the mythology he has constructed-

The Jimmies remind me of the survivalists in The Postman, who use societal collapse as justification for their actions and beliefs. Sir Jimmy's belief in a supernatural cause for the virus is how he justifies his place as a leader, a cosmology that demands a hierarchy and allows him to exert control

Remembering Kelson's introduction in the first movie, how he waved to the islanders to come and join him and instead ran away, frightened. The isolationist siege mentality the islanders live under casts everyone who does not share their home or values as an other, synonymous with the infected.

I appreciate how this new trilogy treats the central idea of western zombie films, of a monstrous collective other that is resisted by individual will. Kelson recognizes the humanity and therefore inherent dignity in the infected, contrasting the ideology shared by the Jimmies and the Islanders.

Fucking wow

Sword & Sorcery is when the soft animal of your body has to slay a fucking necromancer.

Digital illustration for a stand up comedian client Andre Lemont Churchwell, a promotional poster with the only prompts being 'clean soul comedy'. It is of a jester, with flower-shaped clown paint, and two large epaulets being used as stages on her shoulders. On one shoulder stage, a tiny angel jester with wings on their hips has a mic and is entertaining the larger central clown. On the other, lower shoulder stage, a devil jester with a martini sits and broods.

A traditional watercolor, ink, marker, and colored pencil illustration, of the metaphorical dark woodland horrors a christian criminal sees himself persecuted by, in a dream on the night before his execution, referencing the song The Bite, by the band Comus, from 1971. Color, rendering, and composition is meant to be informed by water-colored illustrations and prints by the poet William Blake.

Today I remember I have a lot of art I barely trot out multiple times, because its beyond the calculable level I can guarantee & price as commissions. Some are for sale as print, & some are commissions that I got on a lucky roll with (can't guarantee, but also can't charge for)

Rafel- ginger cat but with a worse personality
Anselda- gray fox missing her left ear
Theodimir- black irish wolfhound
Maeva- honey badger

Well... now I'm gonna draw their fursonas...

Without ragging on this guy too much, my answer is Dorohedoro- A grim, decaying world but the cast is so desensitized to the violence surrounding them that they act almost like the Muppets. It's a story about friendship as much as it is about unspeakable horrors and magical substance abuse.

Might just need to eat, but the last time I felt like this I got very ill.

My usual 15 minute walk has me feeling very shaky afterwards. Worrying!

I use Scrivener for longer projects and for compiling, but my digital tool of choice remains the humble notepad; no spell check, word count, or squiggly lines, just the keyboard and my id. Great for sketching out scenes and loose characterization that I can refine later on in a proper word program.
