recent Ted Lasso-inspired sketchbook pages. just playing with marks on the page, no rhyme or reason to them really. but I love seeing fanart on here, maybe even especially the rough sketches, the messy in-progress stages of art. so if you like it too – enjoy!

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

#don’t mind me just chewing on drywall #some of the absolute best comics don’t look remotely impressive until you try to make one yourself #and some absolutely beautiful panel layouts and art combine to make a stunning visual that barely manages to get any meaning across #you have to emulate cinematography by cultural necessity at this point #but if you lean too hard in that direction your comics just become Worse Movies #there’s barely any standard practices for anything because people are just barely starting to look at comics seriously #mumbling

personal rules for winter ❄

#this was fun bc i didn't intend for it to be kind of cryptic #i just wanted to make some reminders for myself about winter cuz i never learn #especially the back cover which i guess isn't really a rule but still stands. i'm in a rural place so when it gets dark it's Dark #and its hard to want to do anything #zine #mini zine #illustration #nonfandom #analogue art

#a packless dog will happily accept his collar or something like that #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Machete #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals #maybe you might benefit from a little bit of context in this case #Machete becomes a priest at around 20 or so #he has trained all his life for this goal #he has worked himself to the bone and sacrificed so much #because he believes it would make him respectable and worthy and give his life a purpose and meaning #he gets his very first cassock from the tailor's and it immediately fits like a second skin #for the first time ever he feels like something he wears actually makes him look kind of nice #the hard part is over it'll be smooth sailing from here on out #there's a period in Vasco's and Machete's lives where they were apart for almost a decad #they met in their late teens when they were both studying in the same university in Venice #became friends and then lovers #but had to separate when Machete graduated and Vasco dropped out #Machete was ordained as intended and Vasco followed his father into politics #they meet again unexpectedly in their early 30's thanks to their similar jobs #Machete had became a cardinal secretary of state and Vasco was a Florentine diplomat #this takes place shortly after he had lost contact with Vasco and before he reconnects with him again

would you bite the hand that feeds you?

#pearlescentmoon #smajor1995 #wild life smp #namemc spoilers #i hope these two never get along in the storyline i find them fascinating #OKAY SO #originally i had this sketch back in session 2 when scott manages to throw her something actually edible JUST IN TIME #and now with the namemc spoilers of pearl ACTUALLY having a yellow eye which does! kind of match scotts esp since he died for this #i figured itd be an appropriate time #i did edit it though the original was pearl eating smth #now do i think scott and pearl has had any Major (heh) interactions to warrant this fanart in WL?#frankly no LMAO theyve been very civil you go guys . but i like the dynamics between them anyway #also i finally got a piece with scott!!! hes been very hard to draw goodness #anyway long rambly tags #eydidraws #my art #mcyt #trafficblr #galaxyduo #majormoon #** i say civil because its just been more on verbal light jabs at each other rather than anything Really significant ?#and well. its obvious all 3Gs are being very careful around each other which makes me JUST A L IL SAD #id love to see them let loose and be vicious but i also understand the angle theyre coming from #anyway can you tell i like the 3g dynamics
