My Visit To RHOA Kandi's Restaurant "Old Lady Gang"

On Monday, Oct. 7th I was in Atlanta for a private media screening of the Harriet film, and decided to have dinner at RHOA star, Kandi's restaurant Old Lady Gang. Because I was staying in the Midtown area, I visited the location on Peters Street. During my visit to Atlanta, all of Black Hollywood was in town for Tyler Perry's movie studio grand opening. So, before you ask, no! I didn't run into Oprah and Stedman nor Bey and Jay, but I did run into Kandi's aunt Nora! As soon as I walked into Old Lady Gang there she was standing at the front. She greeted me with that pretty smile and gave me a hug like she's known me my entire life. I felt right at home from that moment on. Get this! She said she comes to the restaurant everyday and enjoys talking and taking pictures with her guest!

I arrived around 5:30 p.m. and didn't have to wait for a seat. My server ( I forgot her name) was excellent, she kept coming back to our table to make sure we were okay, and even brought out a fresh plate of cornbread muffins.

I ordered kandi’s honey glazed blackened salmon with kandi's yams and it was amazing!!!! Those yams were the bomb! I would've ordered some to go, but the way my Weight Watchers points are set up I had to resist. Anyway, if you're ever in Atlanta make sure you check out Old Lady Gang, oh and grab you a glass of Arnold Palmer! Then it was off to Regal Atlantic Station for the private screening of Harriet. I'll have to share my review of the movie later... I'm under contract with the film studio, but I'll say this.... Cynthia Erivo was wonderful! Read the full article

THEY’RE REAL!!! my favorite morally ambiguous federal agents

(backdrop is from a screencap)

[progmetol]

Cecil and Cynthia circa 1990

A few months after the incident in ‘89 that earned Cecil that magnificent scar and girlfriend.

There is more backstory to this image but that’s spoilers for my prequel fan comic that is coming soooooon. There’s a couple panels preview on my page if you are interested. I plan to have the first two pages up within a week or so.

[progmetol]

I redid Cynthia’s ref with the slight redesign and included one with her lab coat. Changed the color of her shirt just because it looked better but honestly I draw her with a random shirt color each time anyway so that part is variable. Woo.

[progmetol]

NOSE GOES

[progmetol]

Alright children, listen up

This is Agent Cynthia Vance. She’s an Invincible oc. If you have seen my post history you know damn well where this is going.

(I tried drawing her in the comics art style as well, referencing even the pose from there. It’s hard I’ll say that lol).

Anyway here’s the run down:

- Was initially a field agent of the GDA. No powers, but genius intellect and made a lot of tech to assist in the process.

- Took a beating at one point. Lost right arm. The GDA replaced it with a prosthetic. She made some of her own enhancements, like embedding a semi auto pistol into her hand. (The muzzle retracts when not in use). This is AFTER the next two bullet points.

- Was pretty good ‘friends’ with Cecil before his accident, they were on the same strike team. He had put in a word for her which helped her gain her position. Kept their relationship secret, though.

- Cecil has his accident. She waits with him in recovery for almost the whole time. He proposes.

- Was promoted to head of technology and armaments. Worked on the foundations of some key technology used by the GDA (cloaking devices, teleportation, etc).

- After Cecil’s incident, she pleaded the director into letting him out of jail. He agreed and the two of them persuaded him to take on the role of director.

- Oversaw a lot of technology developments for a few years (most notably, teleportation) before making a groundbreaking discovery. Discovered a plane adjacent to ours and taking up the same cosmological space. Entities in this plane were immune to damage and other manipulation from entities in the material (our) plane.

- Big lightbulbs going off in Vance and Cecil’s heads. This shit is can be very useful. Mutually agree to look further into it.

- Vance figures that being able to manipulate the plane temporally locally to each entity would be useful. Aka, freezing individuals in time while in the plane. Freezing someone in time allows for easy dispatch, no matter who you are.

- Goes to test out the stasis tech. It can only be activated from inside the rift. Something goes wrong, and it affects Vance, now in suspended animation.

- Cecil orders the tech guys to fix it. They can’t figure it out. Months pass. A year passes. They’ve essentially given up. Another fucking reminder of lives lost due to his negligence. (It wasn’t really his fault but he thinks it was)

- Cecil grows cold. Was already cold to begin with, though. Comes to conclusion that he shouldn’t be forming meaningful relationships with people. It will affect his mental state and make him more prone to error. Gives up on romance and friendships. Never become too attached. Is still dedicated to her, though, and tells people that he is widowed. The accident had to be kept private since the project was classified.

- 8 years pass. Omni-man crisis. Etc. Eventually recruits Robot/Rudy. Rudy is trying to figure out Cecil (iykyk). Discovers Vance. Succeeds in freeing her.

- Vance says she feels like a split second passed: what happened? Rudy tells her, her heart sinks. Oh fuck. “Where’s Cecil?”

- Cecil hears of this and looses his shit. Something he’d never anticipated happening, happened. Has to reevaluate the last 8 years of his life. He was damaged.

- He sees Vance. Vance doesn’t care that he looks 8 (or more let’s be real) years older than her now. She still sees him for what he is. Cecil realizes that his view of relationships was fucked up. Essentially he was coping for his own loss. It comes back to him. What he really felt was devotion, not reclusion. They reunite.

There’s a little more but it’s CoMiC sPoIlErS and major ones at that so it will be omitted. Honestly might be better off without those details anyway.

Now burn me alive pls

Queen Bitch in the Guarding the Globe art style (the game, not the comic)

This style is deceptively difficult because it has a lot of different line weights. I do use line weight in my work but I usually do it more mindlessly than actually choosing where I want it. So I had to break that habit for this lol. It’s so subtle that it may not even be noticeable though.

[progmetol]

GDA kimsses…

(Feat. Ghost Gun being a Hater)

[progmetol]

I just realized I’ve been slacking on the Cynthiaposting so here’s a small backlog of Cecil and Cynthia shit

(the last one is a role swap AU) I don’t draw them as much as I’d like to but my semester just ended so uhh… they might be appearing more I don’t know. Also Art Fight is coming and Cynthia will be on there so if YOUR ass wants to punch the grandparents, you can.

[progmetol]

A young Cynthia Vance in her early days as a GDA field agent.

She doesn’t have any powers, but did bring a lot of creative gadgets of her own making into the field. Eventually she got a little too reckless and got her arm ripped off, but she got a cool robot arm and a promotion, so everything’s okay.

She says the goggles are for vision protection, since some of her devices emit harmful rays, but really she just wears them for style. They DO actually protect the eyes, it just doesn’t come up often enough to be relevant.

[progmetol]

hello Mrs. Stedman... .. . . .

[progmetol]

CHAT.

[progmetol]

oh my god, it all makes sense, now that I realized this
