Working on this hollanov animatic. With quitting by eliza mclamb which is an incredible song. Comparing quitting smoking with being in a relationship you just can’t quit.

Pt 2 of my WIP hollanov animatic with quitting by Eliza mclamb

[kikistrikesagain]

Super rough heated rivalry animatic with quitting by Eliza lamb which is wildly hollanov coded. The whole song is comparing trying to quit smoking over and over again to try trying to give up on an addictive by ill-advised relationship. Which simply IS ilya. (It’s Ilya and svetlana at the beginning)

Oops just a blood-soaked 12-year-old

One of my fave Gregor sketches

[kikistrikesagain]

More of my sweetest boy, Gregor. I thank Suzanne Collins for her contributions to literature

[kikistrikesagain]

Why did I draw Gregor in a US mens national team kit? Because I decided that post war Gregor would play soccer and his color (the navy) was too close to the newest USMNT jersey color. And I just wanted to.

A thumbnail for an imaginary GTO/MRC animatic I have. I’ve technically done a little bit of it but I’ll probably never finish it but I liked this

The Infant from Epic is the perfect Prophecy of Bane song. I’ve been working on this for so long but I’m really trying to make my way through it. Just thought I’d post the first bit for funsies

[kikistrikesagain]

I FINALLY finished this Good Omens animatic. Kind of slapped together the last bits of it but it’s been nearly finished for like a year so whatever haha

I also just felt like I HAD to make a good omens animatic with a sufjan stevens song. So many good options

I can’t stop drawing soccer boys. My new refrain for whenever I think about politics is just “shhh, just think about Riqui, just think about Riqui.”

[kikistrikesagain]

I’m absolutely obsessed with Riqui Puig. I also believe in my heart of hearts that he is gay. A beautiful little soccer lad

[kikistrikesagain]

I love Nashville SC so much

ITS JUST AN INFANT

im making a tuc-epic animatic and here is my VERY important preview for the fans

[kikistrikesagain]

Just having fun trying to draw how I imagine post-war Gregor

@stopiwanttotalkaboutcheese who tagged that they maybe they should read Gregor the overlander. The answer is yes. You absolutely should.

So interesting for so many ways, reading it as a precursor to the Hunger Games is fascinating. You can tell that she had these two series in her mind simultaneously as they have a lot of overlap in themes. Gregor the Overlander is a beautiful series about a boy who finds himself, along with his 2yo sister, in a tumultuous, underground world of strange humans, giant rats, bats, and bugs. The boys end up going to some pretty dark places, with this 11yo boy having to face the horrors of war and violence while trying to maintain his childhood and his life. It’s really, really good. If you’re an American/have access to library audiobook apps, I would HIGHLY recommend the audiobooks too. So, so good. I wish everyone had to read Gregor the Overlander. Honestly think the world would be a better place. I feel VERY strongly about this. Also, if you do read it, I’m bEGGING you to talk to me about it
