Eggtober 23 A Cube of Egg Casserole (Featuring Bacon, Ham, and Tomato) Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Gouache Blender, and a new tool, the Pointillism Brush. 15 colors, 1 hour. This was a friend’s suggestion! I didn’t even know Egg Casserole was a thing, but now I want some! Basically a quiche with much less fuss. Speaking of Quiche, I do like my piece from yesterday a bit better today. Depresso Espresso makes things look worse than they are. But my mood improved a little today. I like the results on this much better too. I wanna bite into some nice, fluffy, spongy egg and get some yummy veggies (or, well, tomato is a fruit...) and meat and just... enjoy. Just a little eggy treat for me. As always, big thanks to @quezify for organizing Eggtober. And also for the very nice tags he leaves. Makes me feel better whether I’m in a bad mood or not. Big sweetheart energy. Huge positive force. Hard not to be in a better mood with all the nice things he says on my eggs and on other peoples’ eggs. 😊

Eggtober 4 Eggs Benedict Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Dry Gouache Brush, Freckle brush for the pepper, and airbrush for the cayenne because it does good solid speckling. 16 colors. 1 hour. Tragic as it is when the egg arrives on your plate with the yolk already busted, I gotta admit that nothing beats the aesthetic of a yolk pouring out of a poached egg. I just prefer the satisfaction of biting into it myself and feeling the soft casing of cooked egg-white burst between my teeth and feel the warm fatty ooze of deliciously runny yolk engulf my tongue. Maybe that’s an overly erotic way to describe eating egg, but if any egg is like sex, it’s Eggs Benedict and I will die on that hill. Learning to draw the shiny surface of runny yolk and hollandaise sauce was a challenge and I think it needs a little polish, but it’s a warm up, and I’m sure to improve little by little with every egg. I was originally going to do a poached egg today and save Eggs Benedict for later, but someone drew a lovely poached egg the other day and I want to let them shine for a moment, especially since there are many ways to draw an egg, and if the base of this taught me anything, I should save a poached egg for a day where I have less time, because I got a very satisfying result drawing the egg on this one in just 10 minutes. (Not that I would mind posting the same sort of egg as someone else, I just like the challenge of drawing all different eggs and if I can let someone else shine for a day, then I will! It was a very lovely poached egg too!) But yeah, Eggs Benedict slaps and I think it’s the best way to have an egg, other than a poached egg in ramen, which is honestly a tie for me. Soft-boiled is traditional for ramen eggs, but nothing beats a poached egg to me, and whether it’s a topping for ramen or the star of this little breakfast treat, I’ll take a poached egg any day, any way. If you’ve never tried Eggs Benedict before, it’s well worth it! Honestly, thank you @quezify for organizing this little drawing challenge. Nothing like a daily warm up to get me in the mood for other drawing stuff I need to do, and eggs are just so nice to draw, and you can make them as easy or as challenging as you want for yourself and, no matter what, you still end up with a cute little bit of egg art at the end! I don’t know what it is about eggs, but I love them and I love art of them and they make me happy, so it’s lovely getting to see so many nice eggs from everyone, not just my favorite Egg Master.

Eggtober 11

Tonkotsu Ramen (Featuring Ramen Egg, Enoki Mushrooms, Kikurage/Wood Ear Mushrooms, Chashu Pork, and Green Onion Garnish.) Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, 20 colors, ~1 hour (I forgot to count, I got too into it.) Tonkotsu ramen has to be one of my favorite comfort foods, especially with all the good stuff you can put in it. I’m a sucker for mushrooms if you haven’t noticed. Love them almost as much as I love eggs. Strangely I’m a bit picky about pork, but chashu pork is always so tasty that I’ll just wolf it down. No picking around the fatty bits or picking it apart for fear of gristle. Just shove the little slabs of meat in my mouth and delight in all the flavor. Used the same technique as last time, which means a lot of the detail got covered. But it ALSO means less volleying between colors and a better end product in my opinion. Getting ahead and doing/posting this Eggtober item early today since I keep waking up late and getting to my egg art at midnight. So technically I did an egg, took a break, and then did another instead of going straight into other stuff. Honestly? A delightful way to spend my time. Once again, huge thanks to @quezify. Art is actually starting to be fun again. For the longest time I was so shy about it because none of my stuff measured up to my own expectations. But I’m honestly just... starting to love the process and the product again. The stress of it is just... melting off. I find myself EXCITED to draw a new egg every day. Best Inktober niche ever. All eggs. 😊

Eggtober 13 Çilbir (Turkish Poached Eggs with Garlic Yogurt) Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush and Airbrush (for the paprika and chili flakes), 12 colors, 1 hour and 20 minutes. So when I was looking for egg references for my poached egg pieces, I stumbled across an absolutely dazzling dish that looked delectable. I’d never heard of it before. Now I really want to try it. Recipe (and the reference I loosely based this on) is linked in the title. Poached eggs, yogurt, paprika butter, dill, chili flakes, garlic... what’s not to like? (Catch me modifying the recipe though and just replacing the paprika with cayenne because I like it SPICY. Yes, I know there are spicy and smokey paprikas but shush. Cayenne is cheaper.) But yeah, I saw those dazzling eggs swimming in a buttery sauce on a plate of yogurt and just... had to draw it. I knew it was my destiny. You cannot put dill and yogurt on a plate with some eggs and some spicy sauce and not have me drooling. Took longer than usual because getting the translucency to carry through on that sauce WITHOUT just doing an adjustment layer and lowering the opacity was a challenge. A lot of the colors I used were for really subtle things and you can BARELY see the purple I used at the base of all that yogurt to build up the colors. Also, I think I’ve finally done one piece with every color of the rainbow as a background (The ROYGBIV Rainbow, that is.) The closest thing I had to yellow was a sort of beige-y color that I used as a background for my omelet. But now I have one that’s actually yellow. I think this was a perfect piece for it too. Contrast with the blue and purple in the yogurt shading and the bright reds in the paprika butter. Just the tiniest peek at the orange of the yolks ready to burst forth through those eggs. Big thanks as ever to @quezify who organized the best Inktober ever! Eggtober is the superior Inktober, fight me.

My #1 post of 2022

Eggtober 2 Deviled Eggs.  I had more time today so I spent a little longer on this one. Clip Studio Paint, Gouache brush and a Freckle Brush pen for the paprika. 7 colors, 40 minutes. Last time @quezify accused me (affectionately) for coming in hard for their style by drawing a fried egg on green. And honestly, yeah. I can only hope to be as versatile and talented at egg drawings as the resident egg master. Fried eggs on a pretty green just look very nice. But I promised myself I would draw loads of different eggs, not just the fried eggs I love so much from quezify. And as much as I adore that shade of green, I also promise I won’t use it for EVERY piece, even though I love how it looks with the white of an egg and the yellow of a yolk. Again, this is a pretty new style experiment for me to not use lineart at all and paint like I would with straight paints. I’m not well-practiced in shading, not since I had to do it for art classes 10 years ago, but for a style of egg that demands shading to look good here with the piped in egg yolk mixture, I think I did well with the shading! Eggs are definitely a fun warm-up. A delicious feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.

i briefly mentioned this in a previous post but i really want to talk about how patton’s growth and how he is trying his best to accept remus as part of the sides, because

he went from reacting like this to remus’s contributions, screaming or looking visibly horrified or telling remus to stop

to just casually replying to remus when he suggested that janus might have gifted him a dead animal.

keep in mind, patton is very fond of animals and these are the kind of thoughts that freak him out, but he showed no sign of distress here nor did he reprimand remus for suggesting such a thought. i’m so proud of him, he’s keeping his promise to thomas.

i had this comic sketched out last spring and the new series incited me to actually finish it. i love the interactions between the Captain and Pat so much...

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

[rawliverandgoronspice]

anyway to end the series on ganondorf tp's writing, my take (which isn't canon but arguable as a valid "death of the author" read imo) is that he is at his most iredeemable AND that's because he has zero things left to lose and no community left and his goal doesn't even make sense anymore he is parasitic and a ghost and pathologically obsessed by his own godlike legitimacy because that is the only thing he still has and it has prolonged his life in a horrible diminished state in a nightmare dimension so SURELY it must mean something right right RIGHT

I appreciate Jere's bodyguard so much for not only keeping Jere safe but the audience too, he is so quick to spot things happening in the crowd and act. Sadly venue security often sucks but at least he's there, always watching with a sharp eye, keeping the crew and fans safe ❤️

I love the music this episode. So foreboding for the Demeter section, and then so light and charming for Mina.

Speaking of Mina, I love how she opens with Lucy "looking sweeter and lovelier than ever" - because obviously, Lucy looking sweet and lovely at all times is a given, she's just more so currently. ^_^ She has some lovely descriptions, reminiscent of Jonathan - she too is painting a word-picture for him to possibly read later. But it soon diverts into history and legend and spookiness, because of course it does, she enjoys that stuff. ...actually, graveyards being treated almost like public parks wasn't that uncommon at the time I think, but it's still fun and her interest in spooky stories is apparent elsewhere in the entry too. I love how Mina is planning to come back here and work often: it's that preparation for the future again. She's so eager to get started, and possibly in a little bit of the 'I'm going to get so much done this summer' phase, though I have way more faith in her ability to stick to the plan than my own. But she really is obviously excited to build up her skills (presumably working on typing and stenography) and I love how you can really feel her effort (and her enjoyment in the effort) to be like lady journalists here. All those descriptions and interviewing Mr. Swales...

Speaking of Mr. Swales, he sounds so sweet. Lovable grandpa acquired; well done Mina!

The jail just didn't transport a whole mess of people for hearings today. These are hearings that happen literally every day of the week. And the jail just up and decided they didn't need to come. They're on their way, but being 2 hours late to court surely won't have any negative impact on how things go for the entire goddamn day.

[elline]

if she was being true with this in any regard she wouldnt have blocked jeff before he could even finish saying he wasn't going to hold anything against her if she was really changing. she's made so many disingenuous apologies before, why is it any different with a still image of another simple "i'm sorry" apology?
