Forgive me if this comes across as strange, but I really enjoy the rich color you use for blood in your drawings. It's great for contrast against Machete's otherwise pale complexion, but it also really conveys the blood's vitality - it makes it feel alive and living, warm, even. That color, and all your art, really, is vibrant and full of life, enough so that it challenges the negative associations of death and injury that blood conveys. I just wish poor Machete had more of it inside him than outside

Thank you! I've never thought about it from that angle.

I know that realistically I should color the blood darker, maybe with a more maroon tint, but the visual intensity of vivid scarlet is just irresistable to me I guess. The excuse I tell myself is that in Machete's case, his white fur naturally provides the lightest possible background for that blood to sit on, maximizing the brightness and vibrancy it has to offer.

This is beside the point but I've also understood that anemia can affect the color of your blood if severe enough, but I'm not a medical professional so I can't really verify how visible that is to a naked eye. Not having enough hemoglobin makes it look diluted in a way.

Still thinking about this torch bearer and how cool they are 💖

We have killed people for less. There has been assassinations for less. THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON.

--or perhaps,' continues Octavian. 'You're angry that I've outplayed you at your own game because you were too busy fucking in your old master's house to notice anything that was going on around you.'

He smiles suddenly, bright and wide. 'Enjoy the party, Marcus.'

this scene takes place sometime after philippi, and was originally just some historical fiction I was writing last year for fun focusing on antony, octavian, and agrippa. then I got stressed out watching the new season of a show, started drawing while it played, and ended up turning it into a short comic lmao

the dialogue in this scene is referencing this bit out of Suetonius:

In early youth he incurred the reproach of sundry shameless acts. Sextus Pompey taunted him with effeminacy; Mark Antony with having earned adoption by his uncle through unnatural relations; and Lucius, brother of Mark Antony, that after sacrificing his honour to Caesar he had given himself to Aulus Hirtius in Spain for three hundred thousand sesterces, and that he used to singe his legs with red-hot nutshells, to make the hair grow softer. What is more, one day when there were plays in the theatre, all the people took as directed against him and loudly applauded the following line, spoken on the stage and referring to a priest of the Mother of the Gods, as he beat his timbrel: "See'st how a wanton's finger sways the world?"

Suetonius Augustus 68

what a fun group of people!! they should all eat each other

do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why they never soothed your fevers? and wonder why they never tied your shoes? and wonder why they never held you gently?

in other news i'm still in hell with these two

So I have been having the problem of not finishing anything I draw. Either I get bored with it or frustrated, and by the time I come back to it my style has changed again and I feel like I have to redraw the whole thing. Then it becomes me just being like “that sounds like a future me problem.” And start on a new wip all together. I think for my New Year’s resolution I’m gonna try to set a posting schedule. Like one art, done or not, a week.

In the mean time here is a sketch dump of the things I did over the last couple months!

Under the cut will be even older ones and you can see what I mean about style change

Dragon Des that I think was for a year of the dragon thing.

Some Kadar and Desmond/ just kadar

Baby Desmond and his mother. Was gonna be a comic. And another comic that was gonna be a ClayDes with Clay being able to move Desmond’s body

Ezio and Desmond in a bath

Part of a thing for one of Teecupangel's fic

A whole bunch of thumbnail wips

And some other Desmonds <3

There's nothing I can do for you, monsieur. I don't have the key to get into the Chateau!

So. Buggy's student teaching paycheck got cut off since it's through a program meant to bring teachers to predominantly Black and brown schools. Feds cut off every DEI program and department. He still has to student teach full time, they just won't get paid for it anymore. We are making $1200 less per month now. Even if they start donating plasma as well, it still won't be enough to feed us.

I NEED some people to understand that genocide is not just a systemic attack and eradication of religion or race or ethnicity. It is ideology, too.

You are fascists, and history will remember you as such, regardless of why you voted for him, regardless of if you have Black "friends" or not, regardless of any other piece of your legacy you try to salvage.

So if there's one thing I've learned today is that the left and right can in fact be united, not through respect or agreement, but through sheer hatred of bloodsucking CEO's.

Hell yes.
