i can finally break my vow of silence (yay) so everyone should check out @lurkinglurkerwholurks' art out. I bought it as a (yesikit'searly) Christmas gift for another mutual who sometimes perceives me a little too closely so I had to remain as stoic as the world famous detective himself (very hard, it was too precious, almost failed 5 times).
The process of working with the Lurker was 10/10: very simple, very responsive, and very collaborative, would entirely recommend - no regrets. I just reached out on tumblr because *convenience* but they also have an etsy shop that I will link here. (*eyeing batblob considerably again*)
AS YOU CAN SEE:
the hoard? multitudinous. They are one yet many and I love that. Also the glowing eyes is *chef's kiss* best detail. ALSO LARGE BAT BLOBBBB THE BLOBBIEST BAT BLOB
The Alfred? tiny, yet distinguished, and ready for anything. I was almost tempted to keep him (i did not, it was for the best, he also should not be separated from the batfam).
11 batarangs out of 10, this will make an awesome gift for the local tumblr-flavored batfam nerds in your life (can confirm; my friend loved it-i'm almost a shoe-in for her moot of the year award). Sorry that this announcement comes probably too late to order for this Christmas, try again some other time - a birthday perhaps? well worth it.
