one of my favorite things in Brooklyn Nine Nine is when you can tell the writers were like “you know, Andre Braugher is an extremely talented Shakespearean actor who graduated top of his class at Juilliard…..what if we took advantage of that for our sitcom”
Anyways the most savage joke Andy Samberg’s ever done was that one time at the spirit awards the year all these racist ding dongs werent bothering to pronounce Quvenzhane Wallis’s name right and he spent the whole night hosting it pronouncing her name perfectly (including but not limited to opening his speech with saying that she’s one of his all-time favorite performers) and seemingly obliviously calling Paul Rudd “Paool Rood”
Oh man… You guys know those “How to Draw…” books by Christopher Hart? I think we all do. If you’re unfamiliar, there are a bevy of books out there, across all spectrums of art that one might want to learn about, that this guy Chris Hart goes around and collects artists to contribute to. Mr. Hart is not a terrible artist, but he’s not as polished as the talent he gathers for these books, lacking a style of his own and foregoing a sort of deeper knowledge of his subject that artists acquire only after specializing in their medium, style, and application. Again, he’s not terrible, and versatility is an admirable trait in the illustration world, but sometimes the lessons he teaches in these books leave something to be desired. See image above for a prime example of this.
Okay, onto the bigger picture… This week, Ryan Estrada posted this:
What hell?
oof
“not a ton of personality” = “doesn’t presently want to bang you”
Old Man Cthulhu is on the loose! Another of my puppet creations. He is actually the reason I got into puppet building, as I designed him about 2 years ago.
Shopping around, I found that most puppets and custom-build services were out of my price range. I found Project Puppet and, after making a few practice puppets, got OMC built. More puppets followed.
He is a modified “Glorified Sock Puppet” pattern.
I’m not sure why he’s grabbing his crotch in the first photo.
y’ever have one of those days where you dig up a piece of art from like 2012 and you’re like “dang those shoulders are garbage” and you pencil over them to prove to yourself that you can render them more correctly now and then before you know it you’ve just redrawn the whole damn thing
My mom texted this photo she took of some old art of mine she found.
That’s actually a really adorable art style. Kinda wish you would’ve used that for Roomies.
B-but that is the art style I used for Roomies!…
Is it? I mean, it’s similar, but the heads look bigger and everything is venerally more rounded here.
I would compare with Sal’s earliest appearance, since she’s the only character who appears in both pieces of art. Part of the roundness was due to the size I was drawing at. Both were inked with one of those cartridge-filled calligraphy pens, and it’s much easier to do big rounded swoops when you’re drawing super large on a piece of paper than when you’re drawing in a relatively tiny 10"x3" box. Part of the reason my style became so angular over the course of Roomies! and into It’s Walky! was reacting to that pen’s inability to do great curves the way my hand wanted to. My art started getting rounder again once I ditched the calligraphy pen and just straight-up used a marker.
This was my first art of Billie. I can tell by her… insanely rendered crotch that this art was pre-Roomies!, back when the concept of Billie-the-character was “Walky’s friend from high school who was a girl with a boy’s name, which he remarked upon once in a prose story I wrote in high school.” This is presumably art of Walky and Billie from high school, plus a friend.
I don’t know who that friend is. (Or why she is groping an invisible ass in front of her.) I could pretend it was an amazingly early Dorothy, but I’d be retconning. Dorothy came from another inspiration entirely and roughly ten years later. But this is definitely a shared high school friend between them, at any rate, one that never got a name or any further elaboration.
New art for Mary. Mary, like Rachel, hasn’t had new art since 2010, but unlike Rachel, Mary’s art does go in the book.
