Girl, you should've named the female version of Francis Mosses Francesca!😭

well, i would've..... if i wanted her to look like this XD

Personally, this feels more like a Francesca, which is not what I'm really going for 😅

This is a Frances for me

this week -

the mornings have been cloudy with the sun occasionally peeking out.

i visited a partially crowded waterfall river that had a small temple perched in it’s centre - the waterfall is named after the goddess in the temple, an ancestral tutelary deity. watching the water cascade and splash within the space they’ve created among the rocks was insanely therapeutic.

reading has been chaotic:

began ruined by design by mike monteiro; it’s a required reading for my upcoming semester and i have so many questions. definitely setting the tone for the semester though.

making good progress on we the drowned by jensten carsen - again, lots of thoughts. it’s agonisingly slow and it’s not a book i can binge-read; still get excited to continue it everyday.

kept things fall apart and flight of deities on hold because i figured they need more attention and focus than i can give right now.

i started taking illustration seriously again (due to a trivial instagram story where i posted stuff i previously made and the consequent encouraging messages i received).

sorting through adult design thoughts while simultaneously making up my own version of Earth C events because why are the epilogues/hs2 like that. Anyways I started with the Striders because I have the most thoughts for them!

Additional notes I forgot to write down:

Dirk has so many piercings because I hc he gives himself piercings or new tattoos every time he needs to curb a stupider impulse (I didn't draw tattoos because I am bad at them and also had no design ideas for them yet pfff)

Dirk also wears black nail polish all the time, I imagine he has chipped black nail polish on at all times.

Dave doesn't like haircuts because he gets antsy when sharp objects are near his neck.

Dave is albino and Dirk is not (hard to tell since I didn't fully color these)

My childhood.

Funnily enough, me and my 2 siblings are all born in the same city, but in 3 different countries.

Hi! First off, want to say I love the blog. Been keeping tracks of this account since 2014-2015. I always feel like I end up learning something new about the series here in one way or another. Also always appreciate the silly shitposts too.

I was hoping if you 'd be able to help me with something though, if that isn't too much of a bother. I'm slowly chipping away at an extensive PPG AU project and I've noticed that it's pretty difficult to find a lot of things I'm looking for. Particularly, I've been trying to find a reference for background characters in the show and compilations of what the interiors of various settings look like (such as the Professor's home, Mojo's layer, and Pokey Oaks Kindergarten). If you or anybody else has any resources for either of these things, or really any resources regarding character and set design pertaining to the series, I'd love to to know. I've mostly been getting my information from analyzing the cel-animated seasons of the show and was hoping there was a bit more. Once again, really love the blog and have for a long while. Apologies if I'm being a bother here. Have a good day! :]

Awww, hey, I’m glad you’ve been hanging around! I consider this to be the Mojo Jojo of PPG blogs: you can come here to not only find thoughtful, intelligent, well-written/curated posts about all manner of amazing PPG knowledge but also the goofiest most shitposty shitposts you’ve ever seen in your life. 😆 I strive for versatility!

As far as all of those settings go, I mean… you’re basically already doing the right thing already by watching straight from the source. Now, if you’re looking for some sort of production document listing out some canonically consistent layout of some of the locations in Townsville, you probably won’t find much since they would invent rooms and spaces in places like Mojo’s lair and the Utonium Chateau all the time out of necessity for whatever episode they were making. I’d just take everything from what you’ve already collected and kind of average it all out.

As for characters, check out this post by the amazing and talented @pumpkinpuffgirls that goes into detail about their designs. It’s more about constructing new OC designs that fit into the design sensibility of the show, but there are some production models in the post that might be helpful.

…now that I’m thinking about it, someone also once made a layout of the Utonium Chateau (in Japanese), although this is what I mean by averaging everything out: this isn’t canon, but it IS at least an average of some of the rooms/room placements that are seen in the show that you could use for stuff like AUs.

If I find anything else that could be useful I’ll add it here… but maybe those links could help as a start!

Hullo! What software(s) are you using for typesetting zines? ^-^

Hi! I use the Affinity suite :3

[midi-wizard]

excited to be working on a shirt right now for a film collective where I have the excuse to flex my “logo kid” past; making fake production logos for them as if they distributed VHS and DVDs over the years, with varying levels of seriousness, complexity and timely design trends. I was drawing logos both real and imaginary as far back as I could remember and this is all I wanted to do as an adult.

another part of the design is a leader 35 mm film strip, adding test cards, leader ladies, cue marks, sound waves and film data from scratch. I’m such a sucker for film structure, the stuff you’re not really supposed to see at the very beginning and very end of a reel, very fun researching and moodboarding these assets.
