Hi I'm Lou @louthelost - Tumblr Blog

A preview of my piece for @jerichozine ! I am so beyond excited to get to be a part of this project, both as an artist and as a mod. I've loved the character of Joey Wilson since I was a kid and am really looking forward to sharing the complete zine with the world very soon!

This zine is over 50 pages of Jericho art and fic, and all proceeds go to Communication First, a nonprofit advocacy group for those with speech-related disabillities.

Pre-orders are now open until December 29th!

I'm a five layer one brush kinda guy normally so this was brutal. couldn't find ANYTHING #also i've said it before and i'll say it again:#average artist enjoys drawing armour: factoid actually just statistical error.#average artist fucking hates drawing armour.#artist LouTheLost who fucking loves drawing armour and would do it every day if possible is an outlier adn should not have been counted

First post of the year! I love this meme so much I had to do it for the two who have been my two biggest comfort characters lately, Keladry of Mindelan from the Protector of the Small series, and Murderbot. from Murderbot.

I've been listening to the audiobooks for both series a bunch lately. I really debated who should be saying what, but as funny as "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Mindelan" was, being said from MB to Kel, this version just felt right.

There once was a girl named Mashir whose skill with a spear was top tier. She was chased through the land by a singular man whose name she'd forgotten to fear.

@nbspacegay jokingly offered to write a limerick about my DnD character in exchange for me making dinner, I did not expect it to go this hard. So I had to make art about it.

(In the previous session, we had pulled magical cards, and I fucked up my greatest enemy's entire life, and then promptly lost my whole memory)

Don't reach out

All hail the King! Long may she reign

So I watched the Princess (2022) and had such a blast with this fun dumb action movie that absolutely fucks. But I REALLY wanted a scene right at the end, maybe even in the end credits, where we got to see her coronation. And when that didn't happen... well, here we are

Discowing, but make it Orville Peck!

I saw an art of Dick’s discowing look where those weird gold shoulder bits were drawn as tassels and I immediately just went “OMG A COWBOY!” I love Nightwing, I love Orville Peck, so here we are.

(and yes, I fully forgot to put tassels on his mask, i KNOW, what a missed opportunity)

#omg this got reblogged by one of my favourite blogs??? that i have notifications on for???#just scrolling and hey.... thats MY art #followed by yelling #you know #reblog

I've been affectionately calling this "the au I'm not writing" for a while now. Then I accidentally wrote 20k words for it. So I guess I can't call it that anymore (I still do though). So here's some concept art for an AU that's been bouncing around my head for a while which I guess we can call the bruce-never-became-batman-and-so-jason-and-babs-end-up-as-gotham's-first-vigilantes-and-slowly-acquire-more-friends AU. Or... we can just call it "You were never alone"
