#(( i don't think so...

maybe I'm thinking too much about it

but... something about the delicate, impossibly imperfect dance of Grace and Rocky's ships throughout the film. At first, they're mathematically precise yet they keep missing the mark. He wants to send a message. They want to connect. They're finally in harmony.

I was just so oddly captivated by the shots of the Hail Mary in space, then in space alongside a strange vessel we later learn to be Rocky's.

It's... a dance

pretty guy with a silly mochila. does it make any sense.

[harleysawyerlover]

It would be so obvious that the decrepit Harley would betray us in the end... but I wonder how...

Because it would be very detrimental to him to ruin an opportunity to leave Playtime for a power struggle. He wants recognition, which is evident in the tantrum he threw at Player...

WIP IN PROGRESS - GOOD OMENS AIKIDO AU

“I still think it's rigged. He gave you a head start,” Crowley commented cynically, throwing his hands in the air. “I can try it with you,” offered Fell and extended his hand to Crowley. Without hesitation, Crowley grabbed the master by the wrist with his left hand, his long fingers curling possessively around it. He had no intention of giving in and letting the man win. He raised his right hand, balled into a fist, to his chin in a guard. Fell repeated his motions. “Balance,” he said, his hand swinging away and pulling Crowley back. He realised with horror, that he leaned away just like Gabriel had and could hardly feel the ground beneath his feet anymore. Before he adjusted his stance and found his lost balance anew, Fell took a step towards him and gave a very gentle push to his elbow. In an instant Crowley felt like something pulled his entire arm down and away from him. He crouched, following the force to mitigate the pain, which resulted in him tripping and falling on his arse. “Entrance,” Master Fell concluded. “Ouch,” Crowley scowled. “See? Not rigged,” the man stretched out his hand, this time to help Crowley stand up.

Yall, this story occupies my every waking thought and I have like three presentations to prepare for next week...

Ready to meet Crowley and Master Fell? After all, what can go wrong when you put a hot headed mess and a gentle giant in each others' path? Will it be a way of peace?

365 Creatures: Week 13!

So we're a little late because... well, because I forgot. But in my defense, some of these took a while. My brain is smooth, I'm sorry. But we are ending Monster March with a bang! Puppies, monsters, my first and favorite Primeval addition. And... a polecat. For April, in fact! It's a fun time, let's take a deeper look.

85. Dire Wolf

I put this one on my list during the whole 'we brought back 'dire wolves'' thing, and it's separate from the rest of the prehistorics because I wanted to do a Striped Wolf from Elder Scrolls Online. Which I think turned out nicely! But overall it's a reminder that dire wolves aren't just big grey wolves, they're a little... unique. They give wolf vibes. But at their hearts they're funky little dudes.

86. Legiana

Legiana is another one of my favorite Monster Hunter designs, thus it's spot on the list, but getting the posing right for this one? Rough. I wanted both sides of the heat crest, both sides of the wings, and the tail fan... in a portrait page. I think this was the most references I had for one creature. I even had to watch a hunt to see that tail. But the end result was so worth it!

87. Crystaljack

Among drawing a bunch of monsters, sometimes you've gotta take a break and have a nice, pretty dragonfly. This was great, nice and easy and still looking good. I used a red reference and a blue one, and I'm thinking of combining them for the final piece? A little red-purple-blue action? I'm just saying...

88. Future Predator

This is my absolute boy right here. My favorite media monster. The original spooky-creature-that-walks-on-it's-knuckles. Primeval is easily one of my favorite shows, and the future predator always stuck with me since I'm always a sucker for sound design. Scar is a character that I always thought up, but never actually drew, so here he is! I even used a figure I have of this creature so I could have a good reference.

89. Malzeno

Malzeno is another, objectively, very pretty monster. Even in its original form, I just love that shade of red-pink for those wings. But the Bloodening? Now that's my style. Dark, deep colors, and fancy smoky details? It's a lot of fun, and this one wasn't even too bad to do! My references were already perfect, which I always appreciate.

90. Nargacuga

Regular nargacuga? A pretty sleek panther dragon. But red-hot poker flower nargacuga?? Look, ever since I learned about this flower (which Ethiopian wolves eat?? I found that so crazy), I've wanted to use it in designs. And this was perfect. Just look at that tail, practically begging to be turned into a red-hot poker flower. I almost switched out nargacuga for tobi on my list for space, but after this idea? Narga won, easily.

91. Marbled Polecat

The first addition for Alien April! And it's... kinda fitting, somehow. I mean, ferrets and stuff might as well be a lil alien. But, in the interest of the list, this is just a little early for National Ferret Day. But still, I love how pretty the polecat is. Also! Polecat on a pole! I mean, I had to...

We're finally finishing the very detail-intensive Monster March... to head into the very marking-intensive Alien April. Spoiler alert, it's gonna be a bunch of Avatar creatures. Those movies are good for giving me more Pandora creatures, and... nope, that's all I really care about. I'm excited (I dread) to get into them!
