[hawkinses]

Every day I come home from work..and dive into the bozo meme mines....... I chip away diligently for about 5 hours..and then forget everything I've finished.

[hawkinses]

I'm the most indecisive bastard on the planet so it took me forever to choose these--and then I forgot I had them done bc life shit happened, BUT----pls enjoy my art faves from 2024!!!

HAPPY BABYGIRL ANNIVERSARYYY ✨✨✨

[hawkinses]

Congratulations, your whalers are twice as stinky now

Totally forgot that @littledozerdraws and I made them sonas ages ago..... ....Got the urge to draw them nasty fuckers again, but nicer this time. Also--Adding the initial sketchbook versions of them below the cut for fun, jiji (and also an alt version)

Alt version first--My initial idea for Cav was a goat lol, mainly bc, to quote a friend:

So I left an earlier version of this w their old designs (same friend wanted to see Drax as a wolverine so I obliged, shoutout to my compa Lizard)

Then Dozer then suggested a leopard seal bc they're fucked up and scary omg, though I was unsure about it bc they can be hard to draw....but as soon as I realized that I could slap Cav's ugly little middlepart on its bald-ass head I was SOLD and made it work.

I mean, c'mon look at this thing..

Anyways here are the sketchbook pages, probably from...April...I think

Ngl I also wanted goat Cav bc I really wanted to be able to draw his horns all fucked up post-Brownlee scuffle, but the leopard seal was just too good to pass up in the end

As for why I thought of a boar for Drax---I saw a blurry photo of a hog running and my brain said "..HIM........ .."

"That's Mister Brick Shithouse to you"

[hawkinses]

So everyone in my Mexican friend group has a shit memory and they can't remember character names from the stuff I like, so whenever I talk about North Water I have to refer to these three like this.. 🧍

When we share fics they'll ask me what I'm reading and I'll say like «Ay, en este el apestoso se esta cogiendo al muerto» which translates to "Oh, in this one the stinky guy's boning the dead guy" and I think that's beautiful

[hawkinses]

General complaint but-- I really hate that I can't look at my blog theme the good ol' way unless I make it public for non-users...... I miss the gratification of seeing your code editing and extra info pages n stuff.... ..

New Year's Gay(s) 🎊

[hawkinses]

Also, mfw I was working on these and realized that Modern AU Drax is a gotdamn iPad baby bc there's are least three caps in there of him holding his fuckin phone 💀💀💀

[hawkinses]

Quick hand ramble bc I'm running in circles inside my own brain about it---

I have kind of.. a default setting for the way I draw hands, and it's been so funny to realize that setting is just Sam Spruell's hands lmao; it felt so wild to start drawing Ole and be like 👁️👄👁️ "Oh I was MEANT for this.." because it just felt so right jshdjs

Then, as I fell more into the NoWa hole--- I remember starting to draw Drax more and actively bitching about his hands "not looking strong enough" or "looking too much like Cav's".. so I just pushed the thought to the back of my head and keep going; but before I knew it I started to see his hands all of a sudden Look like Him and it was so cool???

TBH IT WAS THE BIG REASON I STARTED TO DO COLLAGES bc I wanted to see my consistency but..

I've never seen this kind of definition before in the way I draw my hands--(I guess too because I've mainly been working with creatures for the last X years and their hands are a lot more traditionally non-human)--so it's been a really nice process to prove myself wrong and be able to define a human character by their hands??

I love being able to see the difference between the lads now, it makes me happy..🧍

(It ALSO makes me happy to achieve the feeling of Drax's hands being meaty & strong as shit, jiji 👉👈)

[hawkinses]

Some of my favorite hands from this year, shoutout to the ice bozos for being my muses!!! 🫶
