If you think Sinsmas wouldn't be a perfect opportunity for Alastor to be even more annoying to Lucifer, you'd be sorely mistaken.

I saw the Helluva Boss season 2 finale, and I loved everything about it. Stolas' depression (as someone who also went through a divorce, I feel you big bird), the fight between Andrealphus and Stolas, Loona carrying Blitz on her back, the animation, Moxxie and Millie's relationship… it's just so amazing how much this series has improved with each episode and how human the characters all feel. I felt so hard for Stolas! The poor man really has to adjust to this new reality and he is so, so, so low. Anyways, I drew the Hellaverse's best depressed dads - they’re down in the dumps and they need to do a lot of soul searching before they get better

I came across these really cool comic panels and I was like “Oh, that’s neat I wonder where it’s from.” and after some digging I found out it was from Blake and Mortimer and I was like “Oh, cool let’s read that.” and that’s when I saw that it wasn’t a comic, but a novel with pictures. More than one panel was 2/3 text. I only managed to read the Yellow M before opting to the animated series. I would like to actually read the comics when I’m less busy, because it requires a bit more brainwork than I can currently muster.

I did really love the art style and wanted to draw some of the fly boys in it and of course Baron, Dickie’s twin. The text next to Baron (or Barry as he’ll be called in the AU, the Dread Baron is more of a battlefield nickname) is from Barry Lyndon. Wow I wonder what it can hint at. For the sketch I used one of John Singer Sargent’s of Edmund Allenby as a reference. Then I felt bad that I didn’t put him in a proper Uhlan/German Lancer uniform (I doubt anyone besides me cares about the historically accurate uniforms that much), so I made the little sketch on a sticky note and taped it in.

Gul dukat funniest character on tv actually. he's all "my 11 year old son who i'm emotionally neglecting will blame YOU for me neglecting him sisko" and then in the next episode he sits in sisko's chair and plays around with his ball and giggles to himself writing mr. dukat-sisko in his diary over and over like fiona in shrek

Baby it's cold outside and I made a quick doodle to reflect how I feel about that. I can’t imagine Lucifer likes the cold at all, considering how he spent quite some time frozen up to his waist in a lake chewing on history's greatest traitors. With apologies to Gustave Doré's illustrations of Dante's Inferno (just kidding, I won’t apologise)

god i just found this again while folder cleaning

one of the few crossdressing ducks that didn’t make me break out in hives, on account of not having been forced to do it for emasculating reasons or anything, it’s just a practical solution to daisy having too many obligations since they look exactly, and i mean exactly the same

one of those obligations was manning a kissing booth for charity and donald punching a catcaller in the face escalates into guys just fucking lining up to get decked by a cute little duck

its miserable having online friends i would help you clean and paint your room and fold your laundry and move furniture and cook mostly edible food for you and generally do tasks for you and drink with you and smoke with you and go on walks with you and see you smile when i make you laugh. but the distance

Last plein air drawing in Nigeria! Tonight I’m going back. I’m bit sad about that because I had so much fun painting and drawing these, and back home it’s too cold to go outside! Oh well, it will be nice being home again

More marker drawings and it’s time for the Gruesome Twosome.

So in Wacky Races Lil’ and Big Gruesome are more or less expys of Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff respectively, with a bit of Béla Lugosi thrown into the mix with Lil’, so I just built more upon that in the Prohibition AU. Big Gruesome or Károly Groszmann (Károly as that was the closest name I could come up that was similar to Karloff, and fyi if you say that y at the end as an i you are saying it wrong, honey) is looking more like a Frankenstein’s monster, the drawing was also based on T. Wyatt Nelson’s of Karloff as the monster, because I really liked the hair. Lil’ Gruesome or Béla Groszmann was drawn based on an old photo of my very real papa in his military uniform, only Lil’ was part of the flamethrower unit in WWI. I’m still deciding on his rank and proper backstory.

And lastly the colored drawings is a very layered joke that combines the monsters from the cereal commercials and that one gag from Wacky Races ep two where the Gruesome brothers are the only one unimpressed by ghosts. I also did a last minute decision to add a scar to Károly’s cheek as a nod to another Gruesome Twosome from Arsenic.

If you’d like to see not Lorre and Karloff be fucked up criminal brothers then maybe consider reading my fic~ //twirls hair//

I only made one plein air drawing today, but I’m happy with it. I like how the tree trunks in the background turned out

The Criterion cover for Arsenic and Old Lace is pretty iconic now with the little puppets and the purple backdrop and the artist, F. Ron Miller even did an article about how he workshopped the idea with Criterion’s art director, Eric Skillman. You can find the article right here:
