been thinking about ang panday a lot lately. specifically the comics, steve gan drew a beautiful mop of hair

#ang panday #art tag #IF THERE WAS JUSTICE IN THE WORLD WE WOULD HAVE A COLLECTED EDITION OF CAPARAS & GAN'S ANG PANDAY KOMIKS #like those beautiful artist's editions that IDW publishes. aughh

I've reading philippine metrical romances (awits & corridos) & became fascinated by how mars is portrayed in these narratives, esp compared to like. imperial roman latin literature

anyway, a design for mars in these romances (for a stage adaption, or perhaps comics)! I mixed together some good old fashioned hollywood epic costume flair, the ksour essef curiass, regional festival costume inspiration + regional textile history, & the sleeve detailing is based on details from saint statues because one of these romances connects mars and venus to st anthony of padua and that's something that'll rattle around in my head for the foreseeable future.

anyway, here's the moment my brain latched onto the topic of mars' portrayal in these narratives (something about mars turning away from a battlefield in horror/disgust in statius' thebaid vs the surprise/delight at the battlefield here. given enough time and coffee, I Can And Will Connect These Dots)

#art tag #HELLO lmao it's been. wow it's been a very long time since ive posted on here. hopefully...that will change.....

some kinda scene based on a moment from a dream

#the bit is that the apocalypse thing was 100% legitimate but when i woke up i couldn't remember if it was something like zombies #or just generic environmental catastrophe horror like buildings being consumed by some kind of awful fleshy meat substance #which used to be a recurring dream state back in my 20s lmao #komiks tag #art tag

it's fine! 🌡️🫠

#it's getting close to Too Hot for coffee. but. i dont like. iced coffee.#anyway. the artist (me) portrayed as some kind of jester. or perhaps a clown.#art tag

redraw of this komik from two years ago <3

HERE WE GO I wanted to give this scene another spin after I figured out the overall vibe, but it took me a minute to find a brush that could achieve what I had in mind

so! once more! THE LEGEND OF TINAMNAN GABE

-as recorded in Negros Oriental and Siquijor Island: Legends, Beliefs and Folkways (ed. Caridad Aldecoa-Rodriguez)

#it took a minute to pin down the visual thought but we did it! sometimes you gotta circle around a concept a few times #before it comes together #folklore tag #komiks tag

THE LEGEND OF TINAMNAN GABE

-as recorded in Negros Oriental and Siquijor Island: Legends, Beliefs and Folkways (ed. Caridad Aldecoa-Rodriguez)

I changed Eyo's name because the nature of legends and folktales is that when you retell it, you end up leaving your own fingerprints on it. altho the real reason I changed his name is that I have an idea for a longer story that spans a few centuries that starts with this legend, but I need to do some more research before I really get into it, so for now this is just a standalone comic bc I really like this story :)

#the research is japanese occupation in the central visayas specifically and boy howdy is it a fucking nightmare #and this story is like. reincarnation. sort of. it's folk horror. i want to do a romantic folk horror comic is what im getting at #oh to catch the attention of something Not Like Us during occupation and for that to come back again and again #folklore tag #komiks tag #art tag #anyway those are all photos from around negros oriental/occidental etc etc. tanon strait my beloved

dalandan-oranges >>> radyo-kabaw

Utak ng Rebolusyon

this comic is more about Aguinaldo, but I’ll find a way to draw Mabini too :) he was in Laguna for health reasons, but in the last panel, he’s probably taking some time to reply to some letters because that man didn’t quit.

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta

#lmao I didn’t post anything for Independence Day bc (like Mabini) I don’t respect it #BUT. but. man. do you ever think about how Aguinaldo brought Mabini into his house and then resisted Mabini’s attempts #to leave? and eventually: you can leave but you can’t leave me because I’m connecting us via telephone #(tapping the microphone) so when is a house a mouth—#komiks tag #art tag #ph rev #apolinario mabini #emilio aguinaldo #unrelated to all of this: we GOTTA go back in time and convince aguilando to get a different hair cut
