My bad long form drawings part 3

From long form #3 ‘Lost in your eyes’

This is ‘Three men on a ship’ (Also sideways I’m so sorry)

Notes:

I really love how I did Tom’s face in this one

Also, I really don’t like how I did AJ’s face, so…

This one and some of the ones I have coming up are pretty plain in terms of backgrounds, which is something I’ll work on.

Here is my drawing for longform #2, The Meringue Haberdashery.

This drawing is called ‘The Ghost’, and is also sideways (sorry about that)

Notes:

Very proud of this one, especially Don Juan’s face

I like the style I used and will probably never be able to replicate it.

A thing I definitely need to work on is bodies that face fully to the side, which I think is mostly noticeable with how I drew Don Juan’s shirt

Sorry (not sorry?) mutuals for my new obsession which results in me constantly reblogging two cis british men sharing a happy lesbian kiss.

I am (very slowly) drawing a scene from every longform, both to rewatch them all and to work on my drawing skills.

This is from longform #1, Oh My God, Is This A Joke, and is titled “Shirtless”

I took the picture sideways, so sorry for that.

Notes:

The anatomy of Xavier on the ground gave me a really hard time.

I also reminded myself why I never draw people from the side, but since I’m sticking to my screenshots almost exactly, there will definitely be more profile drawings.

The cow thing was fun to draw. I took cow anatomy but tried to make it look a little different (hence the angry eyebrows) because in my brain it is some alternate universe France version of a cow, named something that is a play on Sam’s name. (Anyone who’s read this far, name it in the comments!)

Obligatory Tom Mayo Appreciation Post

Happy birthday to Tom!

Not Sam but in The Creak in the Attic, when Tom does the “I left my son with a strange man” bit, he just fully forgets about the glass of milk he was holding when he goes to run and I always find that funny for some reason.

has anyone else noticed that when sam mimes holding an object he’ll often forget/just stop suddenly and move his hand in a way that completely fucks up the imitation? im not saying this is bad at all, i love how he plays it off so smoothly, as if he was never holding anything in the first place (because he wasn’t). but it’s funny to me because the others will really emphasise that they’ve put an object down or passed it to someone or thrown it away. and sam just makes it vanish into thin air

A little drawing I did of Peter Steven.

I tried to make him look at least a bit like Tom, mostly with the hair because Tom has a little curl that whole play (though Tom’s is the other way)

I’m very proud of myself because I’m bad at drawing boys, children, and people with excited expressions and I think I achieved all three!

At least the fireplace isn’t right next to the washing machine which is right next to the mirror.

just going to point out that the kitchen sink and the front door at 24 shropshire road are 3ish meters apart

"i asked chatgpt"

well, i asked the high visionary and he told me to bring my son to him to test his power in what may or may not be a recreation of a certain story in the book of genesis and also star wars

[rainsoakedpavement]

I absolutely love this moment from the book game

Just posted my first writing vlog on YouTube!

[rainsoakedpavement]

Give me motivation to write/writing advice. I need it. Please.

I feel like a horrible person because what do you mean to 100% IWATEX I have to be friend with Vace and make Rex and Cal hate me.

AND I have to get Vace to cheat on Nem with me :(

(Currently going for the hunter ending and then I’ll probably Disable the Array and I hate it soo much.)

Was no one going to tell me that Marc’s full name is Marc Anciel? I genuinely laughed out loud.

(For those who don’t know, and Arc en Ciel is a rainbow in French.)

[rainsoakedpavement]

just here to say that in MLB S5E2 in the alliance ad, Adrian asks alliance what the square root of 71, 174 and it replies 8.14261, which is so far off (the actual answer is 266.7845573) it makes me angry

probably common knowledge but it literally took me about 5 seconds of google searching to find the answer and the effort clearly wasn’t put in (or the writers were using some weird version of google).

anyways that’s my post for the month <3

[rainsoakedpavement]

some of you don’t celebrate the ides of march by giving your friends paper knives and it shows

(They all stared at me like I was a weirdo)

Over analyzing Janani K. Jha songs (pt. 3)

Weird Hills

Weird Hills is one of my favorites. I’ve noticed that she tends to use cliches (‘What weird hills we die on’) a lot (Mostly in the siege, but they’re scattered around a lot of the songs), and I always notice them but don’t particularly mind. A lot of people are very critical of cliches and if they’re used the wrong way I can see why, but I think that they can be used well and this is an example of that (Sorry for the side tangent)

I really love the chorus. The music is so beautiful. I also like when one or two myths are mentioned, and this one is really good for that.

I also like the rhythm of the lyrics, which is something she does well (the same in Polyxena). I notice this mostly in the second verse (‘And I hate these days, I oscillate like a fan, between never forgiving and being someone who can’). It just feels very even and measured but in a fun way, if that makes sense. (I can’t word.)

Just like Polyxena, my favorite part of the song is the bridge. It has a fun beat, i like the lyrics, it highlights her high notes, and it’s fun to scream ‘but you didn’t’ with the music. I also like the changed chorus bit, where it goes ‘do you think Caesar felt more wounded in the back or in the heart…’. Also, once again shows how much her voice changes emotions, from the start of the bridge where it’s kind of angry to the end of the song where she sounds more sad.
