From sketch to completion on the 'cryptosuchus' for Subnautica: Below Zero. The name means 'hidden crocodile', based on the brief which was that it lived hidden in the deep craggy reefs. I explored otter-like and more fish style locomotion… I even deleted a pair of legs at one stage!

i read a post about paul matthews being autistic and i think it changed my life

no but seriously tho that is an amazing analogy, and even if he is literally autistic (not a a metaphor kind of way, i hope you get me, go read it), it's still pretty awesome, okay?

might make a side blog for all the dumb fandom-ish stuff but i'll still reblog that stuff on here probsably

the anatomy of a fall by novembersmith

my sister (@rocketbabey) and i worked on this together as a christmas gift for our cousin! i did the typesetting & binding and she did the art.

this is the longest fic i've bound so far!! i was a little intimidated when my sister talked to me about the idea, but as it turns out, it's easier to work on when the book you're binding has some heft. the textblock ended up being over an inch thick!

i'm really satisfied with the components of this one - the cover is a mulberry paper with a teak leaf top layer (real leaves!). the paper in its original form is very fragile and flaky (real leaves...) so i did a ton of experimenting and ended up painting the whole sheet with the 'paper' mod podge as a sealant - it made the paper shiny and flexible instead of dry and crackly - a great success. it wrapped around the bookboard with basically no problems. that said, i used So much pva on this bind...

the spine is a homemade bookcloth - broadcloth from joanns, heat n bond adhesive and a thin japanese sketch paper for the backing paper. the endpapers are lokta paper. this was also the first time i tried adding a bookmark and it turned out sooo cute - i'm so happy with it.

the text is set in 12pt centaur, and it's the first book i printed on my own printer! i was finally able to print on mohawk superfine and the difference that makes..... you can't even imagine how satisfying this book is to hold.

i will admit down here that i'm not really into mcr and i accidentally learned more about them doing this project than i ever would have otherwise, but i Am happy with how this book turned out from an artistic standpoint! and godspeed to all mcr fans i hope you're having a great time out there

also novembersmith if you see this and want a copy dm me

no offense but I heard the evil scientist say he likes studying me better than you

[boimgfrog]

Then why’s he up all night diluting my saliva? Check and mate.

[animalyears]

well IM getting moved to a separate chamber tonight so he can keep an eye on me. What about that?

[boimgfrog]

Please, he hasn’t even probed your mind yet. Besides, yesterday he told me that my blood diagnostics were, “abnormal” and “potentially hazardous”. How could you possibly compete with that?

How dare you!!! Evil Scientist!!! Evil Scientist they’re resorting to violence!!! I do not feel very enriched right now!!! I need a bandage and an IV of juice!!!

[animalyears]

this is exactly the behavior i’m talking about. You still need juice rewards and screens. I have evolved past these childish activities, I am a model experiment
