It's My Birthday,,,,, I'm Turning 21,,,,,,,,,, I Didn't Have Any Motivation To Draw Today So Heres A

an experience

Here they are... the final set (for now!) of vintage rogues.... they slowly declined in quality lmao

Firefly was based off of mainly WW1 flamethrower gear, he's just a weird amalgamation of stuff. If I were actually writing a story here I had the idea of him being a kid in Germany during WW1, maybe something tramatic happened involving fire and by the time WW2 electric boogaloo came around he was old enough to dress up and set things on fire....idk folks the two world wars tie in to each other a lot and I think thats some wasted potential!!!!

Roxie Rocket was just based on 1930s flight uniforms, and her rocket was inspired by those vintage sci-fi illustrations of what people though the future would look like. She never made it past sketch phase rip

The Mad Hatter!! Boy I was sad I didn't finish this one. I wanted to do a simple historically accurate 1860s look, since that's what most of the versions of him are based off of, as Alice in Wonderland was published 1865. While researching clothing I discovered that plaid pants were a thing in the mid 1800s?? I think a lot of designs give him checkered pants but that feels too modern to me... I had to give him plaid pants I feel like he would love plaid pants. He would eat them up.

So yeah!! I have a few more ideas for Scarecrow and Riddler sketched out so you might see them around :)

Also - to elaborate on to this, I wasn't planning on adding fantasy creatures in the world that this would be taking place in, but damn... it's so tempting to just stick a unicorn in there SO if they did exist they would be essentially immortal, although they could be killed. They'd be smaller than a horse, like pony-sized, but look slightly different, more like a generic ungulate. Their hair would be kind of coarse and bushy and hang over their eyes, they'd also have feathering around their hooves. Their tails would be extremely long and have a floof at the end. I'm thinking they're also omnivores, as I think the idea of a creature symbolizing beauty and purity also having sharp teeth and the ability to eat meat is kind of. yeah absolutely why not! Idk how magical they are but they have some funky abilities I guess 👍

I've been hyperfixating SO BAD this week my brain is actually melting aghshddjdj.... I'm onto something with my princess and knight I swear.......... anyways I got stuck on unicorns yesterday and I already have an unhealthy obsession with the Unicorn Tapestries, so I wanted to make a piece inspired by that with the princess from a previous post :)

I think fear of being perceived is such a mental roadblock to posting art because whenever I do all I can think of is like. nothing but crickets. eep eep. It's like I'm getting up on a podium in front of a really big silent crowd and I'm SWEATING like you would not BELIEVE. It would be so much easier to just Not post it and be able to sleep at night. But then. well. It will never be seen. shower thoughts for y'all :)

Doctor X (1932) - dir. Michael Curtiz; 2-strip Technicolor photography by Ray Rennahan

Portrait of one of my OCs, Lirien of Doriath

I've been practicing backgrounds over the last week, and this was originally a study of a photo I took in Maine last year. I looove the beach and water is so hard to paint lol but I'm getting better. I read the Emily Windsnap books a lot when I was younger.... I love them so much and I still read them EVERY time I go to the beach, they perfectly describe the feeling of the ocean and what it's like to go to the beach. The illustrations are just UGH THEY'RE SO GOOD and I want to EAT them. Also I wanted to be a mermaid really bad when I was a kid lmao. So yeah! I was orignally going to stick a random mermaid in here but I thought what the heck. emily :)

Since you little FREAKS (affectionate) liked my doc ocks here's another one :) it's tssm flavored

I'm almost through watching tssm and I fully expected doc ock to be kind of a weird little kids show villain (listen. I do love my corny villains though) but he's actually very developed?? I'm impressed, I'm genuinely floored by the writing and pacing of the whole show, and the characters are really well developed. I need to shut up and go to sleep now. Honk shoo~

Oh yeah also one time I was watching the show with him in the corner (emotional support) and it gave me this incredibly cursed screenshot

The photo is not very good and I still need to wash and iron it, but I couldn't wait to show my first ever big cross stitch project;

Love how it turned out, especially with the green embroidery thread (cotton thread on linen)
