#clayface 1

Okay, I don’t really post my art here because I get even less engagement on Tumblr than I do with my nearly 8 year-old deviantART account [0 notes vs. 1-2 Favorites is a big difference]. You know what? I’m slapping this on Tumblr anyway. Why not.  This didn’t come out exactly how I wanted, and that’s mostly due to the fact that my pencils really cannot handle skin tones well. But I’m pretty dang proud of it. I usually don’t take pride in my art. Or much of anything. Once again, this Clayface design is specific to the one I pen and any similarities to canon material are unintentional; wanted to take a departure from the typical fanon designs where the more human him looks rather like Lon Chaney/Vincent Price. I don’t like designs looking same-y, it’s frankly a major pet peeve of mine.

I think to myself “Gee, it sure would be nice if I could work on the actual WIPs I have, two of them just need minor touch-ups anyway...but writing on my laggy phone is a pain” and then I start writing this. Fuck my WIPs.

Have said this on Discord but Tony Jay would have been an amazing voice for an animated Basil Karlo. You cannot change my mind. If I do say so myself it is a galaxy-brained take.  On another note, someone suggested Tony Jay!Scarecrow to me. I’m more “meh” on that one for varying reasons, but to each their own.

I have had exactly 0 motivation to be doing anything of note this week and am honestly just burned out on everything at the moment, but, you know that super loud Vine with the umbrellas blowing down the beach? And there’s people running away from them + one guy who throws an entire surfboard at an umbrella, hoping to make some dent in a futile situation. 

Yeah, label the umbrellas with “Basil Karlo” and slap a “Basically the entire rest of the Rogues Gallery” tag on...literally everything else in the video and you’ve got how everyone interacts with Bas down pat, at least in terms of anything having to do with the Rogues I write.  He’s sweet with Mary [Baby-Doll] and Victor [Fries] but with anyone else...well, if he threatens you, he’ll make good on his word. You’d better hope that you can cover a great distance in a short amount of time; although that isn’t likely to save you. He may only be able to see vague blobs of color and changes in lighting these days, but A) he can hear perfectly fine, and B) he is quite fast.

I feel like the fact that my version of Clayface 1 used to look like Patrick Warburton, yet has the timbre of Vincent Price [when relaxed, i.e. not deliberately trying to put on airs, just speaking in a normal, unaffected tone] says something about me as a person. But, I also can’t imagine what exactly.  It sure is something, though.
