Bg3 has made me discover that I much prefer skill checks to dice rolls.
What do you mean you missed?! It was 98% WITH advantage!!
Ah, requirement 10 and I have a +15 there's no wa- CRITICAL FAILURE!?! What do you mean!?
How is your chance of a hit only 40%? The guy is petrified and you are close enough to lick him?!

They are having a tea party!

Artfight mass attack on @silvermizuki @venomous-qwille @chocolateseeds @ilsole @just-a-drawing-bean @nebuladreamz @garbagechocolate @darkxsoulzyx @smoljeanius
Close ups!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Did this attack kill me? Yes. I think I spent more than 5 days on this. Will I do more artfight attacks? Also yes :)
Process under the cut because why not?..
I used a reference photo of some random theater play. And I will be honest that reference literally started it all because it was perfect for multiple characters. You can see similar poses and lighting as well lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's funny you can't see Razzle here because I was trying hard to hide from Bean that I included him ahahaha
Tumblr media
Me struggling with bg... And all the characters too hahha. Have no idea why I chose such complicated designs together (well, some of them are complicated yeah)
Tumblr media
Lined and ready... My friends were like "you aren't going to colour it, right?" Right.
Tumblr media
I finished rendering bg first, surprisingly it took me only two hours and one layer haha. I see some mistakes already but was too eager to finally be done with it. Not gonna show bg separately because I don't want it to be used anywhere but here <3 Then I layed out all the colours(the fact that some details died with final render always kills me from inside slightly<//3) and shaded the characters. Each character took me from 20-40 minutes, depending on how complicated their design and lighting were. I was really determined to make every character look good in their own environment, like on close ups, but also to make the whole thing work as whole too.
Tumblr media
Funny how ugly it looks without final effects too lmao. The final pic you have already saw. Thanks for attention<3

Did you get asked about the boatboys pirate au yet? That sounds so awesome 👀👀👀👀👀👀
hehe im glad you think so !
Tumblr media
the AU concept essentially sprung from my sleep-deprived and angst-craving brain, on a flight to melbourne at 2am.
The basic idea is that Etho and Joel are pirates in a nautical fantasy world, with gods, magic, and fantastical sea beasts (+ Lizzie).
Etho and Joel end up with their souls linked after the two of them take and use cursed magic items 'belonging' to the god of souls, a vengeful being who feeds on the emotions and souls of mortals (it does not have a name yet-). So now they share injuries which means neither can satisfy the urge to strangle the other without causing themself harm. Sad! The items do give them powers though, which is a bonus. Yeah Joel might be seperated from his wife and has to deal with etho but he can also turn into a wolf so its not all bad.
Prior to meeting Joel, Etho was a loner, having already lost his soul in his shitty deal with the god (yet somehow still being alive... hmm... smells like a plot point....). He spent a fair while running around causing chaos (got involved with King Ren a while and worked for him, because despite being a pirate and generally against the idea of a monarchy he will not pass up the chance to get some extra coin if it suits him), but eventually settled down in a seaside pirate-ridden town because he was massively wanted after betraying the King's trust and also kind of tired. Here and there, he did the bidding of his god, which generally consisted of killing people (the god could just smite them but this is more interesting for it to watch). Etho's cursed item is a dagger that gives him the ability to go unnoticed when he's sneaking around places. If people are looking for him, their eyes gloss over him, if he's trying to be quiet he will literally not make a noise, and if he's picking someone's pocket his touch is feather light. Unlike Joel's amulet, there's nothing special about the dagger that gives him these powers, it just grants whatever the user would find coolest or most useful. Etho avoids using the dagger in combat for... reasons, and instead opts to use an arsenal of other knives he has.
Before Joel had his soul split in two (because note that difference, Etho was running around soulless for a decade before this somehow) with one half shoved in Etho's glass eye, Joel was a pirate captain with a crew consisting of Jimmy and probably some other empires people, or just random bg characters. Joel was probably one of the most dangerous pirates to encounter out there, not because of his ships firepower (though they've got a lot of that), but because he somehow always had the environment on his side. (Almost like the Ocean Goddess was his wife... or something...)
Most of the plot revolves around them being sent on a long errand by the soul god to find one of its other 'followers' that it lost track of. They end up putting together a shabby crew, meeting character's from their pasts, and desperately seeking a solution to the soul-linked issue that doesn't end up with both of them dead.

Do you have tips for shading? I adore your shading.
Im rlly random when it comes to shading. Sometimes I do big blobs of shadows to show where the light is and sometimes I go stupid on tones n stuff. A lot of my Freeform art has rlly simple shading and simple colours and I like looking at it and my IBS paint stuff is more detail with textures n stuff I got from brush codes online (use Pinterest for brush codes)
It’s very much up to aesthetics, I don’t actually focus on where the light goes half the time if it means that it looks ok to look at. But I should lol
Tumblr media
On some parts where it’s not supposed to be focused on I use a gradient to blend it into the bg
Tumblr media
But if I want texture I can hatch and squiggle to get the same effect like on Freeform where you can’t get the gradient stuff
The focus point of the piece has to be a standout colour in comparison to everything else, so lighter or darker than the rest of the image
Tumblr media
I think lineart helps support the shading. Lighting out lighter areas darkening dark areas
If I’m struggling with shading I use references, stare at them, how they use colours and then go ‘yeah good enough’
I do a lot of art with white bg or simple backgrounds, so I don’t really focus on environments, I keep shading simple and clear, any colour differences I do use are blended in with the base
For my lineart only stuff I use screen tone on ibs and mess about with that
Ok that’s all I have in mind. Not good at explaining, I think other sources r better

Cinni requested modern AU orphinthe rambling so I simply have to comply!! 🫡🫡🫡
Modern AU shenanigans take place under your usual "Greek mythology retelling where everybody's a mortal normie" circumstances; no gods no nymphs just bog standard humans that conveniently don't have last names otherwise Zag'd be out here like yeah you know my dad, fuckin Mr. Hades Johnson. Setting is about as nondescript and unimportant as can be and all that matters is that the current state of the world doesn't suck like it does in truth kek
Orpheus
God where do I fuckin start. Picture Calliope as a Greek immigrant landing in the UK, linking up with n marrying what can assumedly be an Oeagrus stand-in as the pastor of a pentecostal church, because I'm deeply enamored with the idea of Orph growing up in an environment where he's a good ol choir boy with a bg in soul and r&b. Not invested in the church of it all (bc is it really a project of mine if there's not at least some hint of religious disillusionment) but loves to sing n play his lil instruments, loves doin his thing, and then suddenly when he's like in his tweens, Bam — his scrungly self stumbles upon new wave and post-punk and it's So joever for him, like he's uncovered smthn he should've never found. This leads to him branching off to research even more of what kinds of funky music he can listen to...maybe even sing......oh man,,.....
I imagine his dad wouldn't have been the most enthused to see him undergo these sonic and aesthetic changes (well who's gonna sing for mass now tf), but Calliope's so cool so chill she's absolutely Thrilled to see her boy finding new ways to express his love of music, just as long as he doesn't forget his roots 🫵 Early to mid teens prolly has him experimenting with his sound and his look/identity more, joining and dropping a band or two until he starts gaining some solo traction around his late teens. Find a way to squeeze in Apollo as a music mentor figure here and Dio as the perpetually sloshed owner of a venue that becomes one of Orph's most frequented haunts to perform at
Shoves off to live in the States (throw a dart at a map n choose what city from there, it doesn't matter which one but it's prolly at least Walkable lmao) around his early 20s, his music blows up, meets Eury about this time (is she a Georgia born gyal or a New York type of woman.....gosh I can't decide......) and they go good n steady for a hot minute — Their relationship prolly implodes around 27 for him, leaving him to languish around for a handful of years or so in depressed solitude and musical limbo until he meets.......MEEEE
Min (the self-insert variant)
Copypaste my pertinent info here lol. Weird little goth from Central Texas etc etc etc but this Min at least gets to escape to whatever location they later meet up with Orph in. Did their time in retail hell as a bookseller before leaving to study funeral service/mortuary science (the author's barely disguised Personal Cope™) while dabbling in their gay little digital art endeavors on the side
Per the source material, they too underwent a lengthy relationship that met its end and led to them spending an extended time just doing their own thing — At some point, they find themself stopping by random funeral homes in hopes that anybody would have an interest in taking them in as an assistant, and it just so happens that a cool and collected funeral director by the name of Than finds his interest piqued. Thus starts their tenure at his establishment, where they do a little bit of everything as needed, be it hands-on work on the embalming front or taking on a more prominent role in the making of arrangements for clients. Other figures of note at the funeral home include Charon, Hermes on occasion, and Than's pesky "it's complicated" nepo baby friend, Zag (Hades has luxury hotel or bank mogul vibes). He doesn't even work there. He just drops by to be a nuisance
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(We Just Don't Know what Hypnos is up to these days. he could be there to handle the front line client interactions and clerical work of the funeral home.....but that might not be the wisest decision.)
It's a chance meeting between the two of them at the bookstore that they used to work at that kicks everything off — They're not even familiar with his music, so it's a refreshing change of pace on the behalf of Orph to not have to deal with somebody wanting to jump his depressed ass just because they're a fan. They maintain a loyal friendship for a good while despite the fact that there's Clearly a lil extra smthn-smthn being felt between them, and progressively it all unfolds rather sweetly until it gets to the point where Min is like "listen.....homie.....let's be so real here for a second. we're basically dating without actually dating. What Are We"

Oc interactions🫀
Thank you for the tag @zekeen 🥹 you are the sweetest human ever 🌸💞🌸
My oc
Bo (Botany before they forgot it with brain damage), a one of the bhaalspawn, a pink bubblegum creature who looks entirely unnatural despite being a Druid. Even their body is and sex changes after each wildshape, everything is changeable with them. Honestly their father pretty much just hit random on the character creature this time.
Bo, bhaalspawn they are, came about much the same way as most other spawn. Big daddy B thought the blood of the spawns was getting a little diluted, and turned to his most zealous zealot.
A Tiefling that came from an isolated shadow Druid community. The best place to raise a ruthless spawn.
His gore would grow within her, withering her womb and mind in the process. Like a parasite Bo almost burst out of the women’s body.
She survived just long enough to offer worship to her gods newest spawn. After the death of the one that carried them, their childhood was pure shit.
No one claimed them, they were essentially abandoned to the will of nature, and to everyone’s suprise. Survived. Mostly on the flesh of the dead body of their womb holder.
(And one butler that may have helped here and there, always making sure Bo knew they were worth more then what they had here. Little gifts delivered at opportune moments to capture a forgotten child’s attention. Literally the same way the gangs do it)
When the other shadow druids started seeing a bright pink Tiefling child watching them from the shadows they became increasingly concerned.
The older Bo grew the more than concern grew too. After years of surviving in the harsh environment just by trial and error. Was eventually taken into the one ophenage they had, where Bo was actually taught how to wildshape, read and everything they should have already been taught.
Literally the only good adult was the head of the openage. The only real parent Bo ever knew. He belief in the shadow Druid ideology had falter as she grew older. No longer having it in her heart to abandon the children of this place. She took them in and raised them.
Having to keep a detached mask on in public. They saw her as ‘fighting the natural order’ and believed if nature would kill the forgotten children then it should.
After Bo’s wild-shapes turned out monsteroud and dark and the whole eating their mother to survive thing the rest of the village figured out Bo’s unnatural disposition easily and went to murder them in the night, killing the head of the ophenage in the pcrocess.
Bo woke up before they finished the job, ended them all and lied to the other children convincing them the adults had been coming for all of them.
They had a full child uprising to merk them all. After that the group settled into life as the new heads of the shadow Druid community in that area, tearing up villages, a never ending ramage of animals balldozing whatecer village was in there way.
All the while Bo was talking to their favourite butler. After a necessary amount death and suffering. Earned their way to the head of the temple.
Baby honed them manipulation skills into a fierce charismatic Druid leader. So much so they convinced their group of shadow Druids to leave the forest and settle in the sewers of bg. With only a promise of killing every human in the world so it could return to nature.
Personality wise, before the brain damage: a charismatic leader with a mean temper but surprisingly loyal to those deemed important. Especially other likeminded cretins.
After, Bo still has the temper but it’s subdued by the constant confusion and muddled thoughts. Not really much of the manipulative type anymore, it takes too much energy to pull that off with their fractured mind.
But they are able to pull off plans sometimes. they’re still on the ride or die seat, in fact, far more loyal now than before. And miles more honest.
Is usually very much a sit in the woods and be one with nature in silence way.
Your oc
Kat(aigyda)'s mother was a tiefling and his father a half-drow from Baldur's Gate lower city. So, bad mix to make good first impressions on most people in the city. He was abandoned to an orphanage by his father shortly after his mother died, as he grew up, he figured out he was a sorcerer and was capable of using magic naturally, particularly stormy and psychic ones. He grew up lonely and often ostracized, therefore he holds a grudge against people too hasty to judge him. In order to get by, he became a criminal, he learned how to manipulate people when needed, also his talents in magic allowed him to work for the guild.
For his personality, he's seemingly friendly and polite to people. He presents himself as an assertive person but is actually filled with self-doubt. He's a bit lazy, and sleeps a lot. He may be good on surface level relationships but struggles with allowing people to get close enough to really know him.
Interaction
Bo and Tieflings are already a match in heaven, anyone who can understand infernal is gonna have a better time making friends with the feral bubble gum piece.
Tho to be honest, if this was before the brain damage Bo might be able to sniff out that deep seated security and use it to kinda forge a deeper bond to which they could use him to further their own goals.
B u t After the brain damage,definitely not! Although it is harder to get to know them now, a lot more barriers and a lot more genuine concern about their own inability to protect themselves with how fractured their mind is but if they could both get past eachothers barriers I think they’d absolutely get along, especially as a fellow somewhat lazy adventurer.
Bo might not be as good at the surface level small talk stuff but if they could be genuinely real with each-other, and Bo could catch a glimpse of his honest self. Although they would probably speak in grunts at first, then a respect could be forged. Bo respects anyone who’s good at the art of manslaughter and criminal activity.
And someone who can appreciate a good nap, so three points in favour of them! At least from Bo’s side.

Spoiler-FULL Reactions to RWBY Arrowfell~
The thrilling sequel to this post. Most of my emotional investment has already faded by now (as is usually the case with RWBY media...) but, since I said I was gonna do this and I already made notes, why not?
Environments and NPCS -Not much to see in this game...the environments look cute in isolation, but as a gameplay element they’re just too simple (and repetitive...) to be immersive. Especially in Mantle and Atlas-- random stacks of ‘techno-blocks’ are not a real setting and they don’t feel like one. :/
-I just wish it could’ve had a stronger atmosphere...the main show already tends to ruin the little atmosphere it does create with baffling character placement and lackluster/absent color grading (seriously, the BG artists deserve better). And unfortunately it seems like the game just...copied that...
-The new NPCs were cute. A little silly, but cute; much more interesting and better for worldbuilding than the background characters in the show.  And of course the NPCs based on existing characters (Penny, Qrow, Pietro) were nice too. Even the Ace-Ops were kinda fun (Vine Zeki gained a personality trait! o_O)
-I liked how the quests tended to interweave together, like you’d complete one quest and get an item required to complete another quest as a reward-- which incentivizes you to talk to more people if you’re having trouble finding something on your own. It’s smart gameplay design like that that made me rate the game a C+; despite its simplicity you can tell it was made by professionals.
Enemies and Boss Fights -Yeah, the clone-enemies in the Atlas/Mantle portions are pretty embarrassing, but I think the selection of Grimm was nice. They all had different strengths and weaknesses and attack patterns for you to learn to deal with; you certainly can’t say they were lazily implemented. Even the clone-enemies at least invited unique strategies...I know for a fact that redheaded “BANG BANG BANG~” girl was specifically designed to be a rage-quit obstacle, and I love that for her. ^^
-The boss fights were pretty good too; nice selection of attack patterns and usage of space (especially for BRIR). Bram Thornmane wasn’t much of a final boss, all things considered, but at least he had something creative going on with the arrow patterns; there’s a little element of challenge there. Nothing super fun for any sort of mature gamer (even a casual one like myself), but I can see that being engaging for, like, a 5th grader. ^^; I guess.
-BTW: a lot of people in the comments of the release trailer remarked that the combat looks EXTREMELY lackluster for a RWBY game, like a ‘step down from Grimm Eclipse’...and although I do think Arrowfell does an okay job of being the type of game that it is, I also kinda have to agree with those people.^^; I’ve found more action-packed platformers browsing for Flash games in 2008...
Even just more expressive FX animation could have helped (a combo mechanic would’ve worked WONDERS); the act of fighting feels more like a means to an end than something the devs really want you to focus on and enjoy. It’s been said many times that RWBY no longer remembers why most of its fans were originally drawn to it-- unique, creative fight scenes that told stories about their characters through high-intensity action-- and that’s on full display here.
And on that note: if you just want to make a cheap RWBY game, a sidescrolling brawler against hordes of Grimm sprites, or even a simple PVP (put that bloated character roster to good use...) would be a much better fit for the franchise than even a REALLY GOOD version of Arrowfell. :T Just sayin’.
Plot and Characters -The moment we’ve all been waiting for~ ^^ *cracks knuckles*
-In brief: the plot sucks and the plot-relevant characters also suck. :/ WayForward at least did a good job building the game despite clearly not caring; as usual RT did not care about the writing AND did not do a good job. I went into it expecting the plot to be EVEN LESS interesting than those of the show, and I was STILL disappointed...
-Small things first: the repeated “I guess we’re doing this now” apathetic sarcasm from Team RWBY during the cutscenes was kind of...irritating, actually. Especially after we had to watch RWB sit around watching the plot go by for half of Volume 8...it’s bad enough when the audience starts to feel like the protagonists have no real investment in the plot (which has been a thing since V5...); it’s a whole new level of bad when the protagonists themselves all but admit it right to our faces. We’re supposed to assume that team RWBY is still here because ‘it’s the right thing to do’; they ‘don’t [want to] let anyone else die’...but more and more of their chances to actually portray that type of righteous character onscreen keep getting replaced by quirky, disinterested snark or pointless one-liners. And I don’t think RT realizes that if that’s all we’re getting...then the result is a story about characters who have no reason to be in it and don’t even want to. :/
-Re: Fifestone-- I’ve already said much more than I planned to say about him (through responding to those asks, if you remember ^^;) but my original note was as follows: in this day and age when workers’ rights are finally making a long-overdue comeback in the public consciousness, and ESPECIALLY considering the way RT treats its own employees, deciding you need an unnecessarily evil union leader in your fictional story is disgusting, vile and morally reprehensible. I used to think RT’s leadership was just ‘childish-bad’...y’know, selfishness and an unwillingness to compromise or improve making life hell for everyone else. But something like this feels more like ‘evil-bad’-- i.e. deciding that the hell you’re putting other people through is necessary, enough to justify and actively maintain through propaganda/manipulation. I’d...really hate to see RT go down that road. :[
-Let’s end on a lighter note by talking about Bram Thornmane: probably the most pathetic antagonist in the entire franchise. ^^;;; When I heard him admit that he seriously did ALL that just because he wanted to join the Ace-Ops (THE ACE OPS??? THE ACE OPS?!?!!!! o_O) I literally sat at my desk at work and laughed out loud, for like 5 minutes. ^^;
Seriously, though, it’s SO bad...I thought things couldn’t get any worse than Adam ‘my girlfriend left me’ Taurus, but here we are. And at least Adam looked cool (and his character assassination was absolutely hilarious; 50% of the reason I love him is because I spent Volumes 4 through 6 laughing at him constantly XD).
Thornmane, on the other hand, is a nothing character. No cool design, no interesting personality traits, no noteworthy connections to any substantial characters. I don’t even know what his semblance is (he mentions it during his boss fight, so I assume it’s in the game somewhere...does anyone know??).
So yeah, “I’m gonna steal unique technology and kill thousands of people to maybe hopefully make Ironwood look bad because he wouldn’t let me in the special club” is just the icing on the nothing-cake. Even a basic “I wanna take over the world” motivation would be better; it would at least make his actions feel justified...as it is, he just chose the most effortful, overly-convoluted way possible to express his anger over getting passed up for a team of huntsmen SO elite and SO special and perfect that they got washed by four newbie huntresses in 5 minutes. T_T Wowza. Now there’s an experience worth spending 30 bucks and 4 hours of your time...
-Easy Thornmane fix: Actually USE Arrowfell. They mentioned that Arrowfell was like an abandoned laboratory full of never-before-seen technology too dangerous to release to the world...USE that. If Thornmane wants to make Ironwood look bad, let him start handing this stuff out like candy to any thug on the street, and get people speculating about why such terrible weapons were even being made, and demanding that the General take responsibility (insert retroactive foreshadowing for his turn to the dark side in V8 here). Let him convince BRIR, the ‘guardians of Arrowfell’ (whatever that means) that this technology needs to be shared with the public to sort of ‘even the playing field’, let the people take back power from the tyrannical Atlas elites (insert morally-gray actually class-conscious Fifestone character here). Let him hoard some of the more frightening weapons for himself, and try to overthrow Ironwood (insert actually necessary Lt. Harper character here) and assume leadership of the Atlas military, to put himself in the position of power he always wanted. 
THIS STUFF IS NOT HARD GUYS; I came up with that in like 10 minutes! >_< And if I spent the amount of time you should spend on something you expect your fans to pay actual money for, I could do a lot better...

what made you start your blog? — uso kasi noon e, tsaka parang friendster na may theme tapos may bg music pa haha. tinry ko lang din, halos kasabayan ng Facebook. nung una puro random post lang kaya di rin ako naging active, then around late 2010 i found this blog (umaasaparin) siya pinaka unang blog na finollow ko na nag jojournal dito, so nainspire ako ginawa ko rin parang online diary. dun na nag start lahat.
what’s some good advice you want to share? — to our young generations (waw parang ang tanda na haha) learn to know your priorities, especially when it comes to money, career and time with family. ito kasi yung madalas na what ifs ko e. masyado kasi ako naging laidback noon at naging kampante na anjan naman yung magulang ko kaya okay lang mag walwal dito luho doon, barkada dito, barkada doon. okay lang naman mag enjoy habang bata pa pero wag kalimutan yung mga importanteng bagay. ganoin :)
what do you think of when you hear the word “home”? — a peaceful and stress free environment with the person you love.

Booster gold for the character ask!
Favorite thing:
Outside of himself in terms of inter-connectivity, you really can't go wrong with this character. Hes EVERYWHERE, and he's designed to be that way. Everything about his backstory ties him to places and people within the DC universe. In terms of the character himself though, one of my favorite aspects of him is how utterly, disastrously human he is. I've talked about Booster at length in MANY other posts so I'll try to wane poetic here, and just keep it at: he's an underdog who never seems to win, and that makes the small victories that much greater.
Least favorite:
We don't know anything about the time period he comes from, beyond "its a bit like modern day Gotham, but worse somehow." What was growing up there like? What makes it different from our present? How did growing up in that environment affect him? What happened to make superheroes not as well known? ARE WE EVER GONNA TOUCH ON THE WHOLE "NUCLEAR WAR THAT CAUSED WHOLE CENTURIES OF HISTORY TO BE LOST," DAN?!
Favorite line:
Tumblr media
[ID: Booster says, "Tonight's your night, you handsome cheetah." He looks at a picture in his yearbook of him in an orange crop top football uniform. His number is 5, and he's wearing a hat with a long feather in it. The text is cut off, but reads, "North Gotham Swashbucklers Class of 2462." /End ID.]
Seriously go read this its wild
There are more iconic lines of course but this one i actively quote jxnfndmf
brOTP:
Ted, Trixie, Fire, Chel (although is it really a brotp if you're related?) I guess you could say Scott as well but imo he's more Ted's friend than boosters.
OTP:
Its Ted, for the same reasons I listed on my blue beetle answer. Them being friends was a complete coincidence and in any other situation wouldn't make a lick of sense, and yet, somehow, it endures.
nOTP:
Harley, Godiva. Seriously what WERE those???
random HC:
"He thinks in Esperanto" was a throw away line but I really like it regardless. Also I think him having no knowledge of ordinary things is hilarious. He can tell you the (mostly) complete history of a landmark, but have absolutely no clue where it's located. Also I think he needs a doppelganger thats just incredibly Canadian because I still don't know if that was a real admission from the n52 days but my WORD is it funny.
unpopular opinion:
I miss mindancer, I think she could be a really good rogue if she was developed right. Also Chel! WHERE IS CHEL!!!!
Song:
Too Much Time On My Hands by Styx. I've got a whole playlist if you're interested, too.
Fav pic:
Tumblr media
[ID: the cover of Justice League America #37. Booster is holding a hand out towards the viewer, a surprised look on his face. Fire stands behind him, fearfully clutching his chest. Behind them, Beetle is cowering in Ice's arms. A wall of grey paneling is behind them, with an electronic sign reading "intruder alert." /End ID.]
A friend once said that BG had bimbo lips in this picture and it stuck with me so vividly that not only do I ALSO now think that every time I see this pic, I always make sure when I'm drawing BG to "remember to give him the bimbo lips." Also I'm just really partial to Hughes' art of BG in general.
