just drew Mark and Bryon and lemme tell ya- Mark was like so easy and so fun to draw, barely even thought about it, didn’t even sketch much underneath it just came out really nice first go.

Now BRYON ON THE OTHER HAND-

fuckin redrew him THREE TIMES and I’m still not happy. but I’m too tired to care so it is what it is >:(

Idk I’ve been halfheartedly referencing John Cusack because Bryon describes himself as looking like “a Saint Bernard puppy” and the closest face I can think of based on that is 80s John Cusack (although bear with me here, idk that many faces, and i only vaguely know what a St. Bernard looks like). Anyway- I say halfhearted because I don’t want him to be…directly Cusack either. Idk it doesn’t quite feel right n I dunno why??

Anyway it’s plain to see that the referencing was half baked because this Bryon does not look like John Cusack at all imo.

Idk I’m having a hard time balancing “puppy” and also “teenage hoodlum”…and movie Bryon is no help whatsoever because that is not Bryon to me at all…ugh I dunno. What do y’all h/c Bryon looks like??

You’re not into doing art anymore are you? :-/

Homie my dog died last week and I’ve literally been bedridden since then with a really bad cold. Cut me some slack 😭

Just thinking about how for Luke’s parents every parents worst fear came true. Their son ran away, they haven’t had contact in months, don’t even know if he’s alive or where he is, and then one night they turn on the news and there he is, but it’s not because he’s a star. No. He is dead.

The last words that Luke and his mom said to each other were in anger. And we know that Luke’s dad wasn’t even home when he ran away as we can see him just pulling up in the driveway when Emily runs out.

Luke’s last interaction with his mom is him saying he never wants to see her again, but then up until his last days he regrets saying that and keeps looking for ways to reconnect.

But he never got to, because he died. And how did his parents find out? A news channel.

Being in fandoms is weird because you can dislike a character in some aus and feel bad for them in others or like them in a few depending on people’s interpretations of them

wacky alternate direction for Joule- make her a heated boxcar to complement Volta being a refrigerated one. They’re not as common irl but there was a famous Lionel toy based on them, and the irl basis was just as bright!

They carried potatoes, using onboard stoves to keep them from freezing in New England. Potato hauler sounds hilarious but hear me out: potato batteries are a thing. It even pairs with how citrus products are among the most famous refrigerated car products and also can be used as improvised batteries!

Not entirely sure how much they were electric-hauled irl, but they weren’t far from the northeastern electrified lines so they likely were to some degree.

(as a tragicomic bonus, these cars were lost in a yard somewhere by Penn Central and bankrupted a ton of people when most of the Maine potato crop was ruined, which fits with the popular fanon that Joule has ADHD. Losing things has a notable history with them…)

I’m partial to making the Components based on fast freight, especially if it has ties to the electric lines of the northeast US. It’s a job up there with “subway” that’s almost exclusively the domain of electric trains since the power needed to move heavier trains quickly is very hard to achieve if you’re hauling your own fuel/engine around (see how the CC 40100s were 5-6k horsepower vs “2700” and that’s low vs newer electric engines)

So these are currently my two pieces of attempted Transformers art

First one was practice, 2nd was just something I wanted to draw. Debated putting them on different posts, but I thought might as well have them on the same

I’m starting with the Animated characters because it’s what I’m watching, and also I like the art style. Or I at least like how Optimus looks. I drew a Ratchet elsewhere on Friday but it’s on a physical sheet of paper so I can’t show it to you

It’s…coming along, I suppose? It’s not the best, but I suppose I should also admit to myself that I’ve literally never drawn a Transformer before. And for that, I suppose it isn’t the worst? Like it just looks kind of off

I am getting the hang of drawing Optimus though. I probably need to figure out how to draw the others though, and not just him

I think with the 2nd drawing in particular, I’m making the head too big. Old habits are hard to break, I suppose

But also another thing, I am struggling with the eye shadow things. It looks cool, and I’d like to keep doing it for that reason, but I struggle with making it look right. And by proxy, that goes for the eyes in general. How do people draw them?

Also how do you draw the bots in general? I have no clue how I’m supposed to pose them

But yeah, on to things I drew

The shocked Optimus in the 1st one has been in my head for a while now, I had to draw it. Context, crossovers between the canons have been stuck on my head a LOT. And I think I’ve already mentioned my whole idea of Animated Optimus being absolutely horrified hearing about the Transformers One Sentinel

Tragically, I couldn’t figure out how specifically to draw his expression. What you see there is the best I could do

Then we have the 2nd picture, which is just because I like the headless Sentinel episode, their dynamic there is amazing. Didn’t think I’d care for the second Headmaster episode, but it’s great for them

I’m still considering the whole Optimus/Sentinel situationship in current day, but I think I’d need to make it through Season 3 first before I can say for sure. But I still don’t yet see TFA megop (they basically haven’t interacted in Season 2 so far), so I’m still going with it

There’s probably more I meant to mention, but I’ve forgotten it in the moment. So take this

I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT! the key to drawing matt murdock is 1950’s sewing patterns

The amount of people who came to tell me they started playing pmdeos over my ghost dad drawings. Only to find absolutely nothing but misery and backstabbing. I must be on par with Dusknoir-Pmd with my gaslighting skills

So, now that we’re done with Grave Pretender let’s take a look at the fic roster and see what kind one-shot is going to be next… ✨

Definitely up there in the top 5 of potential candidates right now are

- Jason saving Dick and disposing of Tarantula (feat. @cyrwrites awesome drabble)

- Jason kidnapping Brucie

- Jason’s body spontaneously going into cardiac arrest every other day (the “Jason’s body works wrong after resurrection” prompt)

- the Talia spite fic

- the “batfam thinks red hood is a 40+ guy and dating Tim” prompt
