Ok so I’ve been itching to make my own book, and for the last year or so I’ve been collecting the paper that glass gets wrapped in to do so.

Well tonight, I completed a huge step toward that using tools that I would hope bookmakers and bookbinders would find extremely creative.

I used nails to puncture the paper and leather, paper poster to reinforce the book, e6000 to hold everything together like I use naps to hold my life together, and embroidery thread to bind everything together.

Honestly? I love the progress I’ve made so far. I need a v-gouge to carve out the emblem I want to paint into it, a few more embellishments to add, and I’m kind of stuck on what closing hasps I want for it, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out.

I can’t wait to be fully done with it!

For now, I shall stare at my work while I try and ignore the pain in my fingers lol. I also gotta figure out what I’m gonna use it for. It’s got serious book of shadow vibes but I already have one lol.

Tonight’s song is Pirate Queen by Karliene.

I really love this song and the harmony of the singer. I wish it had an instrumental though, that piano and violin is incredible!

we’re moving forward with a publisher 😤 just gotta get all the terms worked out, and then it can be signed & we’ll do the whole announcement thing

#they potentially want me to illustrate the chapter headings and the cover #which I am SO PSYCHED ABOUT #I will literally break my arms trying to make this art as good as possible #the delay on moving forward was that a few other publishers wanted time to consider the book and potentially make a counter-offer #but in the end nobody bid more than the first publisher to make a monetary offer #so we’re going with the first one #book

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself.#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024?#and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex.#°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄#some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out?#good to know

I have admired the work of the amazing @anotherwellkeptsecret for YEARS, following her originally from the height of my Sherlock obsession all the way until now where she has (to my delight!) crossed over into Good Omens as well.

She also just had a baby!!!! So partly as a congratulations, partly as a thank you for being such an artistic inspiration, and partly so I could practice my own digital art techniques and play with Procreate for the first time, I asked if she would allow me the privilege of coloring some of her favorite pages from her comics while she's on maternity leave. And she said yes!

But she asked me to pick my favorites instead. So I took her at her word and chose one favorite page from each of the ten comics I have saved and loved over the years.

Exactly two weeks later (and in no particular order) here is the final result!! I am so grateful to Kelley for letting me do this, and I have discovered so much about my own style and what I like (excessive lights, apparently lol). I hope you guys like them as much as I do, and please please please go support Kelley's tumblr and Patreon, she absolutely deserves the world. 💕

Been thinking a lot about the malevolent au and particularly how it would effect Ingo's day to day life back in Unova :>

[image id: a digitally drawn sketch page, featuring primarily Ingo, Emmet, and Giratina (who is named Fox). In the first drawing, Ingo and Emmet enthusiastically handshake with each other, labelled "Emmet (autistic)" "Ingo (blind)" "not making eye contact". Neither of them is looking directly at the other. Beneath this is a drawing of Ingo tripping and eating shit, with Fox failing to warn him in time. Next to this is a three panel comic. Fox reacts to a joltik sitting on a table in front of them, with Ingo responding in unknowing terror at this supposed threat, until Fox finally reveals that it is just a tiny cute joltik. Ingo is unimpressed. Finally is a drawing of Emmet and Drayden. Drayden asks Emmet outraged, "how could you POSSIBLY not notice your brother is blind." Emmet gestures back at Ingo, yelling "HE IS LITERALLY READING RIGHT NOW". Ingo is sat in an armchair with a book in his lap, Fox leaning over his shoulder to read the book to him. End id]
