I really didn't want to post this cuz I don't want people to think I'm making an Onward AU.
But eh- whatever ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ
Anyways, this art is just based on a Character AI story I tried last week and decided to draw something for it for my 1st art in October. This was my first time drawing Barley and Ian, so it was abit challenging and I needed more practice.
I also struggled more in drawing Barley's vest cuz there are alot of design, and Ian's hair cuz I'm terrible at drawng curly hair.
But speaking of this art, I'm now imagining myself as an Elf-

Book Review: “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon” by Joel Selvin
Tortured by his own brain and barely functioning, Jim Gordon still found comfort in music and by 1983 was playing in dingy clubs with a band called the Blue Monkeys.
The gigs were Gordon’s only normalcy in his world of deepening mental illness.
This moment before things fell apart serves as author Joel Selvin’s introduction to the drummer, who had once been the go-to session man in Los Angeles and was a former member of Derek & the Dominos and Traffic.
“Everybody knows how this story ends,” Selvin writes in the first chapter of “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon.” It ends, of course, with the drummer murdering his mother, Osa Gordon, in 1983 after a career that established Jim Gordon as one of the most revered drummers in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Gordon’s tale is that of a gut-wrenching struggle with mental illness and stuff-of-dreams musical triumphs that veteran music journalist Selvin tells from an omniscient point of view, in the way Bob Woodward writes his political tomes, with citation saved for the notes and bibliography of the 302-page book.
With cooperation from surviving family members and former colleagues like Jim Keltner, Eric Clapton, Mike Post and others, Selvin paints a sympathetic picture of the Wrecking Crew drummer who struggled against the voices in his head as he recorded and toured with the Everly Brothers, the Beach Boys, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, George Harrison, Frank Zappa and others between stints in the aforementioned bands with Clapton and Steve Winwood. But while Gordon tamped down his emerging schizophrenia enough to engage in musical success, he also decked his then-girlfriend Rita Coolidge while the pair were on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour, committed other troubling acts of violence against women and engaged in behavior, such as speaking to people who were not present during recording sessions, that concerned his friends and family even as it left them at a loss of what to do.
Gordon’s career slowly dissolved as the 1970s turned to the 1980s and his grasp of reality grew more and more tenuous. Hospital stays and stints in rehab were unsuccessful at muting the voices that ultimately directed Gordon to kill his mother.
When they did, he listened. Gordon went to Osa Gordon’s house and murdered her with a hammer and butcher knife before heading out for a night of drinking. Police arrested a distraught Gordon, who confessed, the next morning.
He was sentenced to life in prison. Selvin ends the story in 1993 when Gordon and his fellow inmates are watching Clapton pick up a Grammy for his unplugged version of “Layla,” which Gordon was credited with co-writing.
“I’ll be darned,” Gordon said.
A more-complete book would’ve at least touched on the intervening 30 years, Gordon’s life behind bars and his 2023 death at 77. That said, “Demons & Drums” is the most-complete book on Gordon the world is likely to get and is worth the read. For despite its mildly sycophantic tone, and Gordon’s oft-horrendous behavior, Selvin has served up not only Gordon’s story but a fascinating history of the evolution of drumming and the 1970s music scene.
Grade card: “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon” by Joel Selvin - B+

We start this issue exactly where we left off last time - with Sonic and Porker tied to the tracks of a rollercoaster. But it looks like we’re already seeing the seeds of downfall being planted within the Marxio Brothers, as they begin that typical villain bickering about who’s actually to praise for their plan going so well
Tumblr media
Okay, I know I’ve just posted two full pages in a row, but I think this whole sequence is great and deserves to be shared. Both because of Elson’s amazing art and because we have the beginning signs of Sonic pushing Porker too far with his teasing. That will most definitely be a plot point they’ll come back to later on. I also really like how, mid-freakout, Porker manages to sass back at Sonic. We don’t get that from Tails. So far, Tails just takes most of what Sonic throws at him and gets sad about it, which is probably why readers feel so bad for him. With Porker, he’s crying, but he still manages to say “Oh pardon me, Mister Cool!”
Tumblr media
Sonic’s strange sense of humour aside, he manages to get free! Meaning that nobody on this rollercoaster is going to have to ask for their money back
Tumblr media
I like this panel of Sonic proclaiming that he’s going after the Marxio Brothers. I also find it interesting that a rabbit who I assume is Johnny is there, but he hasn’t had his StC redesign yet. Joe Sushi is also present, so we’ve still got one foot in the “small animals from Sonic 1” door before StC commits completely to its own take on the Mobians
Tumblr media
Ah yes, StC Sonic from behind. Those spikes sure are a look. But ignoring that, he’s found the Marxio Brothers and keeps the three of them busy fighting over some gadget. As a small note, during this fight the brothers use these battle stick things that look quite similar to the one that Johnny Lightfoot will eventually be given as a weapon
Tumblr media
When the brothers realise the device could be used to disrupt their machines, they destroy it. But Sonic’s actual plan was to distract them for long enough that Porker could reprogram their machines. This is a lot of faith that Sonic has in Porker and yet another example of why I find their dynamic interesting. It isn’t as simple as Sonic never trusting Porker to do a good job, because he clearly does. But more on that in other issues
Tumblr media
Porker also manages to blow up the hypnotising statue and then the two of them are off, with the promise of Super Sonic coming back next time!
What a great issue! I mean, the Marxio Brothers are pretty standard gag villains who’d score low on most people’s list of favourite recurring minor villains, I’d reckon. But we’ve got Porker Lewis being used as an actual character, with a role and personality that’s only going to be developed more in future! And with the Kitching and Elson team together, this feels like StC as we know it is starting to take shape

And here is one of the best 5-string bluegrass bands playing a cover of Lightfoot’s song. I love both equally.

Tuesday Tunes 156: Still At Sea
There are loads of songs about the sea and, having given you a few last week, I thought I’d play some more. I’m leaving out some of the more obvious possibilities though I expect you’ll know at least some of these. This is a mixture of fairly laid back songs, with a couple of narrative ones thrown in for good measure – one of which is quite jaunty, in case you were in danger of nodding off! I’m…

Zenless Zone Zero Barley Lightfoot ✨ The random crossover idea my brain make me think at 3 AM lol
Let me combine my current fixation XD. interesting concept to work on ngl, challenging but fun! Had to mix between techwear, knight, DnD, and Barley himself. Also if you all wondering what faction he is. I kinda think of new faction for him, something with the theme of DnD and gamer casual stuffs? My BF also gave me cool idea since he has a brother Ian, Barley is the agent and Ian is his proxy, another small sibling based company.
