AOI Edinburgh Illustrator Group

Hey Tumblr,

I know the chance to encounter Scottish artists here is pretty small, but it's not zero! So, here we go:

I have amazing news to share! I have the pleasure of working with The Association of Illustrators on building a wee meet up group for illustrators in and around Edinburgh. A similar group already exists in Glasgow (@illo_g on Instagram) but Edinburgh doesn't have one... yet! We can make this happen if there's enough interest. We're in phase one right now, which is essentially me collecting info on who would be interested to join and/or help both physically and by promoting this group in their community. So far, some ideas that have been floating around for things to do are the classical regular "Drink & Draw", but also "Draw Crawls" through Museums/Botanical Gardens/etc., beach cleans, networking events, (industry) talks, etc. Depending on what we do, we also need ideas for locations respectively! If you are an illustrator in the area and interested in tagging along on this journey, please send an email to cinnastray@gmail.com with your name and whether you'd be interested in helping. Also feel free to send me your ideas, thoughts, and questions! :) By the end of November, we will be able to tell if this group will happen, and I will be able to provide anyone interested with more information via email. Thank you! 🦊

Neon Angel. Comic book cover mock-up created with the draw app in Canva using a laptop trackpad. It is a really basic app with pen, marker and highlighter but it suits how I work.

Are you gonna make the playlists for the heartless characters public? Or has that already happened and I just missed it

AH I haven't shared my character-specific Heartless playlists as some of the songs on them were SUCH specific picks that they risk being highly spoilery lol 😅

(For funsies tho I'm gonna put some of my non-spoilery-est top tracks for each character under the cut! 🎶)

HEARTLESS: Heartbeat – The Midnight

ALCHEMY: Transform – Julianne Hough (this was the very first track on Alchemy's playlist it is SO them)

FLINT: Change Your Heart Or Die – The Midnight

EIRA: In The Cold – Vincent Lima

DOPPEL+GLASS: Call Them Brothers – Regina Spektor (And "Still Here" from Treasure Planet, but especially the Alex Ubego version)

RIVER: Machine Learning – Janani K. Jha

CREED: Hunting Witches – Kyle Stibbs

LORELEI: Siren Song – Lambia (Also: Ado’s version of Unravel 😩👌)

DIANA: Hell’s Comin’ With Me – (the Chloe Breez cover in particular)

LANCE: Blood Upon The Snow – Hozier (Most of his playlist is the kind of metal and high energy tunes you might expect for him, so this one's a fun outlier :3c )

BANDY: HARLEQUIN! – Vana

DOCK: Eye For An Eye – 8 Graves

Child Actors Aqua and Kana on the occasion of season 2.

I imagine that if everything didn't go downhill with Ai, Aqua and Kana would have been able to act in more films together and maybe be paired together in more projects. And an actual childhood friend relationship would be real nice.

"i get to thinkin' 'bout your sun-kissed face / and a quiet place i could give you all my time"

textless :3

based on a self-indulgent headcanon that lloyd laughs like a goofball and very easily at terrible jokes. he snorts and giggles and wheezes, his nose wrinkles and his grin is all sorts of lopsided. he has to hold himself from falling over, and crinkles form underneath his eyes, and he's laughing so so loudly and javier thinks it's the cutest look in the world. lloyd really should laugh more often, take it easy more often. it suits him.
