Still alive kinda

Sideblog for fanart stuff. she/her.

…Which of course leads us to the question of who would be the Only Human in a Muppet Deadwood? Bullock? Al? I’d suggest Doc as an outside possibility if only because everybody else gets spectacularly injured at a rate that implies they think all they’d need is a little bit of new stitching for repairs (and they’re usually right).

I saw this post a couple weeks ago and the idea stuck, I apologize.

Oh my fucking god

I think he'd basically have an old-timey curio cabinet version of this setup. Unsure if the muppet characters would react to this with the same level of distress as one would to a human equivalent (until they need repairs, anyway).

*Talks about how his dog is the meanest, most ratkillin-est sumbitch to walk the earth, proceeds to bring out the tiniest most adorable Toto-looking dog I’ve ever seen*

In honor of it being Brad Dourif’s birthday, I thought I’d try drawing the first character I saw him play, this exterminator guy from Graveyard Shift.

Not pictured: at least 20 pounds of chewing tobacco that he keeps on his person at all times. My guess is that’s what half the pockets on his overly complicated jumpsuit thing are for.

This is about as done as this screencap redraw is going to get, but I like how the colors turned out!

[c0rpus-art]

Back from the dead (and grad school among other things) 5 years later to try drawing again.

I watched Spontaneous Combustion on a whim like a month and a half ago and ended up on a research rabbit hole trying to figure out what’s going on with it, so… expect more in the future?

Variations on a theme: Fish fear them, other people... presumably also fear them.

The first one is based on this page from one of the Marvel Swimsuit Specials, by Angel Medina & Tom Smith:

Soooo... how about that new trailer?

Life’s just been kinda not ideal for working on art lately, but I had to get something out. I’m excited to see what Naomie Harris does with the character!

DAY 1/2 of @symbruary: Redraw/rewrite

I am the biggest sucker for little kid/big scary friend teams, and I thought this arc was fun, so I had to pick this one for a panel redraw:

It turned out a little messy and a few hours late, but it's the first time in a while that I've started and completed a drawing in one sitting, so I feel good about it!

Hi, I'm back kinda!

I wanted to draw some outfits and then my hand slipped.

In Pete's defense, I would probably take the life-threatening nemesis fights over a frenemy that gleefully reminds you of your most embarrassing outfit choices, too.

i want venom cartoon and i want it to be about the construction of the self :(((

[land-of-brains-and-chocolate]

#this concept may be vague but I’m already sold

tumblr search function is tumblr guess function but i’m SURE i’ve talked about this before. it’s like, what narratives are built to maintain the self. the ego is an incredibly destructive force and that’s eddie’s whole deal, and it can be the symbiote’s and peter’s, too.

go in-depth on different points of view and how they’re warped. my classic take on it is eddie and venom are monsters because they think they must be heroes (because otherwise they’d have to die) and the symbiote by itself is a monster because it thinks it must be a monster. and peter thinks it and they must be monsters, obviously, challenging and yet reinforcing this.

somebody else came up with this… maybe corpus… let me know… but the idea of framing the bonding scene from different perspectives gets me giddy. that’s the kind of shit i mean. have their motivations range from finding rage to finding purpose to finding acceptance, with the truth being some mix of all of the above. present peter’s take first, present it as obvious, then undermine it. challenge your hero a little.

those perspectives lead into the construction of venom, obviously. like, what are they actually after, because killing peter’s a proxy for it. who do they think they are and who do they want to be. get more into venom as like, a fusion. no i have not seen steven universe but i think it’s the right concept. is venom a new self, a guard against the breakdown of the self? there’s so much to be done! neither “what if peter was really angry but it wasn’t even really his own anger” nor “what if there was a symbiote zombie apocalypse” are the end-all be-all of the symbiote in terms of storytelling lmfao

It was on Discord a while back

I was thinking of having it an episode from the perspective of a Daily Bugle college intern, who is wanting to do a story on Spider-man and how Venom first became one of his nemeses, and stays out late enough to interview him after a scuffle (bonus joke points since they catch him in the act of photographing it for the Bugle and he has to scramble for an excuse) and Pete explains his version, which aligns with most other adaptations.

The next night, they (while very terrified) stake out the alleyways where Venom is seen most often. As Venom, Eddie (who's never reluctant to tell his life story to anyone within earshot anyway) sees something of his previous self in the overly ambitious intern, and goes into a somewhat biased version of events with gusto, all while angrily responding to Peter's take when asked.

Finally, the intern heads home in the small hours of the morning, wondering how they're going to make a cohesive story out of all this, unaware they're being followed. Just before they close the door to their apartment, they're horrified to discover that the symbiote, after separating from Eddie in his sleep, followed them home. After finally convincing them that it has no intention of harming them, it bonds in order to better explain its POV of the story, which sees Peter not with rage, but bittersweet resignation. Then it quietly leaves, leaving the intern stunned.

I'm not much of a writer, but I would still like to do something with this premise eventually.

"...You like Spider-man, don't you, Edward?"

This started out as a Spongebob reference joke about the symbiote taking some "me time" and coming back to find Eddie has developed some complicated feelings for Peter based on @land-of-brains-and-chocolate 's Eddie/Peter posts, but then it turned into all of this.

This is the first serious attempt I've made at animation, and I now realize that anyone who's job is to animate Spider-man on a regular basis fears neither God nor extreme hand cramps.

“Hey, I should draw Sleeper as Waddle-Dee, that should be fun!”

“Okay! Let me just fix the eyes a bit annnnd...”

“Oh”

SLEEPER NO

"As though we were made for each other... Beauty and the Beast. Of course, if anyone else calls you beast, I'll rip their lungs out."

@mushroomsandteeth had requested I do a sketch of Cletus a little while ago, who I’d never actually tried to draw before, so naturally I had to draw him as a Courage the Cowardly Dog villain. Please enjoy this gross pointy rat man and his terrible wife.

Last post for @symbruary! I wanted to do more this month, but life kinda happened. 

[c0rpus-art]

Days 4 and 5 for @symbruary!

Not much of a jar really, but they’ve had to deal with enough jars, so a mug with some chocolate chip cookies is a good change of pace. 

Venom seems to actually care about kids quite a bit, even if they mostly  tend to be scared of them. Occasionally, there’ll be one kid that isn’t, and will sometimes make a gift as thanks for protecting them or their family.

Day 3 for @symbruary is a bit late, but here it is! As far as favorite hosts go, Eddie’s fun in his own bastard man way, but I kinda wanted to highlight Ngozi and Andi, especially Ngozi since she deserves way more than two stories. I also wanted to give Gwen an honorable mention, even though the symbiote situation is kinda different in that universe, her design is great and I still need to read the Ghost Spider stuff.

Day 2 of @symbruary ! It’s hard to pick a favorite sym character-wise, since it’s one of those “depends on who’s writing” type deals, but c’mon… look. at. her.

In her off time, Scream moonlights as a glamour shot model. This one is called “Liquid Sunset”
