My new cover and illustrations for "The Whispering Skull"

It’s safe to say it doesn’t have any insights

Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.

Convinced Lucy Carlyle is only into weird britpunk and goth music. She has grown up as a child soldier with an abusive home life, pop love songs don't do shit for her. I, for one, am an enabler of weirdo alt girl Lucy, and I think the soundtrack got her music taste right. This girl scoffs when Taylor Swift comes on the radio, and we all know it.

lol it would be funny if there was a fic about lockwood getting his wisdom teeth out and just completely out of it and just totally confessed his love for lucy right there

I finished the first Lockwood and co book last month and managed to get my hands on the second so have a very rushed doodle of the trio

I’ll have to better capture Lucy’s personality next time, was trying to convey the idea of her being able to hear the ghost behind them but I feel like she just looks timid🤷🏽‍♀️ I took a lot of creative liberty with this in general

[yellowraincoat]

Random Locklyle?? (Bc I’m on a quest to make some finished pieces out of the sketches I did during the school year)

Day 4: Subtle choices

okay i'm just going to preface this by saying that i'm not going to be uploading art every day for the lw&co prompts because that's a scary amount of work, so some days you'll be getting silly little text posts from me instead >:)

LETS TALK ABOUT SET DESIGN!

okay so here's the thing that absolutely butters my bread about the set design/costume design in lw&co and its that Portland Row actually looks lived in.

The books in the library look read, the tables and chairs look used, the carpets in the house look visibly worn. The thing is with set design and costume design is that a good amount of items are made specifically for the show (some things are thrifted or bought but i digress) the people who work on the show could have just left them looking new but no they took the time to ware these things down and make them look like they've been part of the house for years.

Its such a small detail but it's one that really can set the tone for an entire show! There's no jarring plastic feel to the house everything looks really cozy and lived in! Set and costume design that is done very well can really impact the mood for an entire product so kudos to the people who worked on Lockwood and co! They really brought Portland Row to life even down to the smallest details!!!

[sixinchesdeepinmud]

The whole point of the set disign of 35 Portland Row lies in it being lived in and slightly shabby.

You know, it belonged to a family of four with two kids, so obviously it won't look like straight from the magazine. And that's totally understandable. When I first saw the interiors being both cozy and well-lived I knew it IS the home we call 35 Portland Row. It felt like going to your Granny's house not some sterile house. Once again great,great kudos to everyone involved in the set design because they really understood the importance of the house as the silent character of the story (those who read the books will know what I'm talking about).

And I will be forever thinking about how did they managed to get all those Eastern curios hanging on the walls - if they are really token from some real-life collector or borrowed from a museum. And have you noticed the Skull lamp in the entrance hall?

I would pay a great money just to peek at the set in the Ealing studios and take a commented visit with someone from the props department. Or with someone from the Iron Trio.

And oh, speaking of the Iron Trio, they should've been allowed to have a sleepover there after finishing the shooting.

Locklyle Fanart

Guys look at this GORGEOUS Locklyle fanart my bestie did!! She doesn’t have tumblr but I wanted to share <33 I have converted another to the fandom *evil laugh*

[dangerously-human]

First of all: The light, the light! The love! The bravery, courage, confidence... The trust, belief, faith... The sheer intensity of hope in this sentence.

Second: My guys, we are at this point like a quarter of the way through book 1, in a flashback to Lucy's first days at the agency, and this is already how she is about Lockwood. I love her, I love them. This is so good, on multiple levels.

Third, and my main thought reading this: I know they do this all the time. It is literally their job. But I immediately jumped to The Creeping Shadow and The Empty Grave, crossing to the unknown darkness, stepping into the domain of death itself together. The way it starts, the way it ends. The growing together and going together, and how central "together" is to it all.

[portlandrowismyhome]

Okay but I want an AU where Lucy and Lockwood’s roles are swapped. This is Carlyle and Co. this is Lucy and George, the sole members. And this is Lockwood, a runaway crawling off the streets, with no money and no connections. tagging @wellgoslowly @oblivious-idiot @thebiscuitrule @jesslockwood @givemea-dam-break @ikeasupremacy bc I wanna see your ideas :))

[wellgoslowly]

OH MY GODDDDDD YESSSS

lucy meeting lockwood and immediately thinking he's just another posh londoner and then finding out later that his suits are the only clothes he has besides a sweatshirt and sweatpants

also like. what if the skull wasn't from fittes and it was smth from lockwood's old agency that he took when he ran away and then lucy is like "why tf do u have that also can u hear it insulting you rn"

oml can u imagine. Lucy comes home one night and sees that lockwood went on tv to talk abt a recent case but she goes insane bc he talked abt her more than the actual agency and george is like "hmmm I wonder why"

OML A REVERSE TOWEL SCENE?!?!?!?!?!

[waitingforthesunrise]

LOCKWOOD WOULD BE THE MOST AWKWARD HUMAN IMAGINABLE IN THE TOWRL SCENE

ok but Lucy is way more cautious, right. And this stupid Lockwood keeps getting himself into ridiculous situations and cases, and Lucy knows she should let him figure it out/die, but she just keeps rolling her eyes and saving him again…

[wellgoslowly]

george is begging lucy to fire him and lucy keeps coming up w different reasons but in reality she's in love w him and also wants to give him a home bc she knows what it's like to need a support system

[portlandrowismyhome]

Lucy is literally yelling all the reasons she should fire him while waving her rapier and saving his sorry ass

ooh and Lockwood is terrified she’ll replace him with Kipps, who’s currently out of a job…

[wellgoslowly]

OH MY GOD YES imagine lockwood and kipps used to be teammates.....

[givemea-dam-break]

I AM GOING TO WRITE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS

[wellgoslowly]

YEAHHHHH

[givemea-dam-break]

GUYS ITS ACTUALLY GOING WELL I CANT WAIT TO SHOW YOU

[oblivious-idiot]

i feel like lockwood would also use his charm to get the agency new cases WITHOUT lucy’s permission and it makes her pissed but they actually work out

also lockwood getting lucy’s old room and it having blue wallpaper and bedsheets, and at first he hates it but eventually comes to love it

(also eden if you write this i’ll love you forever)

[givemea-dam-break]

first chapter is out babes 😻

[ikeasupremacy]

I LOVE YOU i.. what’s it called..
