Wildbow's vacation




....OK LET ME EXPLAIN.

First. I like to imagine Wildbow with a freaking majestic beard and a beanie (because yes, I call them BEANIES, or a knit cap and not... a... toque. You silly Canadians. What the hell kind of word IS THAT.)

Secondly. Wildbow was been writing in the comments section of each new chapter to give us updates of his brother's wedding he's been helping with, and at one point he shared a story of a hellish week that involved suit shopping and his family's car trying to blow up. I suggested that it was the EYE causing them trouble and ever since, have had this scene in my head. And yes, being mature and giggling about the word "hoser".

Still so many pieces I'm working on.
And I'm doodling Buttsack at work now.

THANKS WILDBOW.


your friendly neighborhood spiderman,

7.10 - "Fire sparrow"



Here's a quick and tiny 5 X 7 drawing of everyone's favorite little guy.

Apologies for lack of posting. Things are crazy right now for me.

I have 2 big pieces half-finished I hope I can find time to work on this week: a request for something from the faerie realm, and a pretty large one of Rose's face as she awakens.


Meanwhile, Wildbow is in full-on wedding mode, and breaking our hearts with these new chapters.

The Fool and the Priestess












(I'm terrible at sizing things as I'm drawing. Sorry if these are hard to view because of their odd shape. Was going for a banner kind of thing. Frustrated that it not entirely symmetrical but I'm letting its go before I permanently check-in to crazytown.) 

Sometimes its hard to imagine Blake and Rose together, with the same features. We know that they're basically the same person, but how much of them are exactly the same? What hand gestures, what expressions? I keep doodling parts of their faces, and especially scenes where they're side by side so I can try to pin their appearances down. And then I came up with this, where they are two halves of a whole. Just an idea/practice, as I'm fleshing out more illustrations from the book.


So. 

Guys. 

Guys listen. 

What if - 

What if I designed a Pact-themed tarot deck? 

:D 



(Personal update: I don't have another day off for the next 9 days, so this is it for the week. Will be back to working on stuff hopefully next monday, but in the meantime I need to remember to sleep and eat.)
