#The Skull

Christopher Lee in horror movies

I'm (slowly) rereading the Lockwood & Co books after a few years of having them sit on my shelf and I hadn't realized how different the books are from the show, and yet how similar. and they are both so beautiful and engaging, even if they are different. we are so lucky that we have such an amazing show adaptation of such an amazing book series and I will probably never stop mourning the cancellation

book!l&co character lineup

finally finished extended version of my L&Co designs, based on their book descriptions! it took months, but im happy with the results

ID of designs + thumbnail-sketch under the cut

[image ID: two digital drawings of characters from Lockwood and Co books, done in semi-realistic style, black lineart and plain colour against grey background.

image 1: from left to right there are full body drawings of George Cubbins, Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle. George is standing facing left, slouching, he's looking at the viewer with indifferent expression. he's fat, light-skinned and has medium length fair hair. George's wearing round glasses, red t-shirt, baggy jeans, unzipped grey hoodie and sneakers. he has a grey sport bag in right hand and a black messenger bag across left shoulder. next to him there's Lockwood, he's standing half turned to right, he's facing the viewer with a gentle smile. Lockwood is paler than George, almost a head taller and slim with short, slightly wavy, black hair. he's wearing a grey three piece suit with white shirt underneath, as well as smart black shoes and a purple tie. on top of it is a black greatcoat. Lockwood stands with one hand in pocket and another resting on rapier's grip. the sword is in its scabbard attached to Lockwood's belt. furthest on the right is Lucy, she's standing half turned to right, head facing left with a curious look directed at the viewer. her skin is light and her hair is warm brown, slightly uneven and spiky with middle parting. she has a wide frame and is the same height as George. Lucy's wearing a baggy orange sweater, plaid grey skirt, black leggings and tall dark-brown work boots with iron patches. she's holding onto a strap of her rucksack that is on her right shoulder. there's also a belt on top of the sweater which holds her rapier.

image 2: from left to right there are full body drawings of Flo Bones, human version of the skull, Quill Kipps and Holly Munro. Flo is standing half turned to left, facing towards the viewer with a smirk. she's light-skinned with long dirty-blonde hair, and her face has smudges of mud all over. compared to previous pictures, she's almost as tall as Lockwood, but not quite. Flo is wearing long blue puffer jacket on top of her darker clothes that resemble one of fisherman's with mudded thigh-high rainboots. she stands with one hand in jacket pocket, one raising a brim of straw hat with a knife. said hat has a fishing hook stuck on its brim and two lavender stems attached to hat band. next to her is the skull in his human form. he stands half turned to right, slouching, hands in pockets, with head thrown back with a wide smirk across his face. skull is very thin and not really tall, he is tanned and freckled with spiky dark hair. skull is wearing ill-fitting clothes: a white old-timey shirt that is slightly too big and grey trousers that are too small and short. he stands barefoot. third from the left is Quill Kipps, he stand half turned to right, crossing his arms, head facing left with a look of annoyance. Kipps is short and slim, he has ruddy and freckled skin and short ginger hair. Kipps is wearing a grey leather jacket with Fittes logo on it as well as two medals, tight black jeans and chelsea boots. his rapier scabbard has a baldric type of belt. rapier itself has green gems on a hilt. finally, there's Holly Munro, she's standing half turned to left, head facing right with a gentle smile. she's pretty tall and slim with deep rich black skin tone and black shoulder length curls. Holly's wearing a white short lantern sleeve shirt with a blue dress with a cloth belt wrapped around and tied into a bow at the back, as well as low heel shoes. she has a light-blue scarf wrapped around her head. Holly also has white small earrings and beige nail paint. all of the characters have artist’s watermark at the lower right side of them./end ID]

bonus sketch

[desos-records]

I have so many thoughts, none of them coherent, about Lucy and the Skull and Lockwood.

The Skull and Lockwood being foils of each other in Lucy's life. They're boys, vain and clever and desperate to appear charming, especially to Lucy. They both would rather be fighting with her than quiet with anyone else. They both, when it comes down to it, would rise above their every base instinct, would both be better for Lucy.

Lockwood being more vulnerable with Lucy than anyone else; the Skull literally only able to talk to Lucy. Lockwood wanting to die; the Skull wanting to live. Never knowing Skull's name, Lockwood never using his name.

Lucy letting go of Lockwood despite her instinct to trust him. Lucy refusing to let go of the Skull despite her instinct to distrust him. Her vicious protectiveness towards them both. Lockwood trying to separate Lucy from the Skull and the Skull trying to separate Lucy from Lockwood. Both of them hating the other as rivals for Lucy's attention.

The Skull being open about his horribleness to hide his care for Lucy; Lockwood being open about his care for Lucy to hide his flaws. The Skull claiming to lie and telling the truth; Lockwood claiming to tell the truth and lying. How at the end, Lockwood comes back to her and the Skull leaves her. The Skull dies for Lucy and Lockwood lives for her.

soulmate horror is one of my signature concepts in my fiction. hey how do you feel about having a connection to another person which you can neither choose nor reject. how would it be to not know whether your feelings are your own. to know that you cannot ever be allowed to decide for yourself what you want, because it's been cosmically ordained. would that suck? i think that would suck
