tim gets de-age-beamed and jason is forced to stay at the manor because timmy only wants to hang out with his favourite robin

tfw you realise you’re in love with your best friend and it’s the 1930s

Happy Lunar New Year! 

lmao okay so ive seen a lot of geralt gets turned into a wolf fics (usually without jaskier knowing) so he hangs out with jaskier till he realises it’s actually geralt and can help him undo the spell/break the curse/ w/e which is a very good concept which i love. (esp when it requires a kiss/confession from someone who loves him to turn him back)

a way funnier concept though is jaskier running into a white wolf after not seeing geralt for a while, and the wolfs pretty tame so jaskier ends up assume it’s geralt and theres a curse on him that needs to be broken.

so jaskier is travelling around with this white wolf, talking to him, looking for a cure. and then one day runs into actual geralt. of course geralt is like: what the fuck. why do you have a wolf????? 

and jaskier is very confused turning to this wolf like ‘you’re not geralt!?’ 

which geralt takes offence to bc ‘you thought i was a wolf????’ 

and jaskier is just ‘well its a white wolf, i assumed-’

‘why the fuck would you think i was a wolf’

‘i thought you got cursed!’

‘well i didnt’

‘…. why would you think that wolf was me?’

‘hes a very nice tame wolf so i figured it must be you?’

i just love drawing silver fox Jaskier, that is all:)

I know you’re almost forty, look almost thirty, think you’re just over twenty and act as though you’re barely ten. And being aware of this, I usually furnish you with precise instructions. I tell you what you have to do, when you have to do it and how you’re to go about it. And I regularly get the impression that I’m talking to a stone wall.

hello good omens fandom long time no see

sorry if this has been asked before, but i wanted to ask about your lineart! the weight and line economy are just so nice, i get stars in my eyes looking at your lineart and doodles. could i ask what your approach to lineart is and what tips you might offer?

Wow I love these questions - Line is so interesting!!! It's a really big topic so I feel like any tips I give will be just barely scratching the surface. It's like deceptively simple...any given line drawing is essentially taking all the information we glean from seeing something irl ie light, shadow, dimension, texture, perspective, etc and boiling it down to the simplest possible visual information.

I think most commonly my line is informed by light source so like. thicker more continuous lines face away from the light and thinner more broken lines towards. and a lot of my spot blacks r simply cast shadows.

here's a more extreme example

BUT like everything to do with art there's no hard and fast rules. I use blacks when I think it'll be effective or interesting and I leave them out when I don't need em. umm couple things I find myself doing a lot... using spot blacks to make the separation between characters clearer. I like casting shadow in between characters so its easy to separate and read their silhouettes even when they're mashed together.

u can go even further to purposely create a silhouette like

to draw attention to a finger or tongue LOL. There's some comic book artists who are absolute masters at this type of stylization. Alex toth and his spiritual successor Chris samnee come to mind for me right away.

(toth)

(samnee)

I feel like I'm also often using line weight to separate planes receding in space

im naturally a really heavy handed and scribbly drawer(...?) draftsman. and im nearsighted so when i see things i percieve and break it down into big shapes over thin contours. so stuff like spot blacks and shadows came easy to me, the tricky part was making the rest of the lines lighter when they needed to be so the blacks could actually have impact LOLL. a lot of effective visual communication is about balancing contrasts. like I had to really train myself to press less hard on the pen. I think this is actually really evident if u go back in my archive to older sketches LOL

I actually feel like a lot of how I trained my hand to tackle line weights was thru stuff like hand lettering where you rly have to focus on being sensitive to that kind of thing.. contrasting strokes etc.

also exercises like figure drawing will have you flexing those muscles constantly

I'm starting to just regurgitate lessons from freshman year of art school so I'll stop here with the demos but yeah...I hope this was helpful!? I love line!!! I want to get even better at line work so I can feel confident posting work that's only line no color or value... I'll leave you with a bunch of artists who I think have particularly expressive and beautiful linework (not including toth and samnee who I already mentioned and who's work I love so much). You can probably learn much more from them than you can from me...!

Instead of making up shitty racist headcanons about Miles shoplifting join me in headcanoning him picking up ballet because he thought Gwen being a ballerina was super neat and it would help him in his spiderman job

I've seen lots of spider-man Steddie AUs and although I don't write AUs like this I love spider-man let me tell you I've got comic brain all the time, it's just. listen listen why are we making Steve into Peter Parker when Eddie is right there

I mean! impoverished nerd raised by a single parent who is actually not a biological parent but who would give up /anything/ to protect their kid (because that is their kid, that's their BOY and he has been through enough thank you very much)

Teenager who is so smart but struggles in school because of the amount of responsibility hanging over his head, because he has to help provide for his family, because he has to make up for some self-perceived wrongdoing from his past (we have almost no canon info about his parents/ where he was before wayne took him in, the origin story potential is without limit!!! imagine him getting into a dangerous situation with his mother, listening when she tells him to /run/ and then having to cope with the fact that he could have stayed behind and potentially saved her for the rest. of. his. life. that's what spider-man's all about, that guilt and that responsibility to help because he can, having to choose to get up over and over again because the world just won't give him a break)

He's got these walls he puts up against the rest of the world, says to himself "none of them could possibly understand where I'm coming from with their party lifestyles and their sports" which is just SO early comics Peter that guy carries around so much anger right at the surface of everything he does even after he takes up the vigilante mantle. and in return he does NOT look like superhero material on the surface-- he is not remotely what people picture when they try to work out spider-man's identity which, like, tattooed metalhead taking on the spandex? as if. ("look at me, I am no hero." because he hardly even sees himself as one, he's just doing what he has to because when he turns heel and runs instead people get hurt and it's /his fault/)

also just. vigilantism being inherently against the law, spider-man /never/ being on the same side as the police because he wouldn't be doing what he was doing if he thought the damn cops could handle it.

it's just so. it's.

THAT'S EDDIE MUNSON. okay i'm done good day.

there’s discomfort everywhere…

ok my demons have been exorcised we can resume regularly scheduled programming

sweet dreams are made of this 🏃

i dont draw magneto enough

Hello!!! I just wanted to say I just found your tumblr and it is DELIGHTFUL!!!! I am in love with you Chang/Tintin future!head-canons especially the Area 51 series. I hope you are Inspired to do far more!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying my stuff with Chang, I feel he's a super underrated and underused character! He's one of Tintin's first recurring friends and, to me, represents a turning point in the Tintin series in regards to the books' politics.

“Four disappearances, all students from the same college… and the police found nothing. Perhaps we should go undercover…”

@onabikaa sent me a message asking for more stuff on my “cult in a boarding school” idea! I was considering making a full post for it and your ask finally pushed me over to do it.

Story details under the Read More! This is already a long post. There’s some pretty dark themes so please let me know if you wish me to tag anything, cw for mentions of death, religion and cults:

Spider punk

[ID:

Fake variant cover for a spider-punk comic. It’s a digital illustration with spidey jumping in the air with one leg stretched out above him, he is also holding an electric guitar. He has spikes on his head, and he’s wearing a jean jacket that also has spikes. He’s also wearing red converse sneakers. Above him is written “spider-punk” in different types of fonts, the first word looking like a bunch of cut out letters, and the second looking like graffiti art. Next to the text is a small Spider-Man icon also in a graffiti style]

im making progress i guess ,,,,
