7.10 - "Fire sparrow"

full view here

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.

(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.)

Notebook: "Fear keeps you alive"

“Scared?” Rose asked. 

“Yep,” I said.  I moved the wreath, and checked it over. [...]

Evan descended, setting down on my shoulder.

“It’s an old building,” he said. 

“Yeah,” I replied, still pushing the wreath forward. [...]

“There’s nothing in a lot of the windows.  No people, no things, no walls, no floors,” Evan said.

“Yeah,” Rose said.  “Only emptiness.” 

“A little more afraid, now,” I said. 

“Good,” Rose told me.  “Fear keeps you alive.  Just don’t panic."

Another notebook piece.
This one has too much crammed into a small space; I intend to come back and expand it further - make it into a wide scene. My photo wound up a bit dark as well, which is annoying.

Is it just me or is Rose's face (unintentionally) bitchy looking? ha.
But then again. Maybe she's in that super bossy mode. (Maybe it works?)


Also.
Evan.

I am drawing sparrows like a madman all over everything.
