IRON LUNG DOODLES

I just wanted to doodle some of the more impactful moments for me- Simon's rageful screaming as he bangs on the controls, his pathetic apology to Ava, the ICONIC blood splattering on his face, his heartbreaking whimpers as he accepts his death, and him losing his sanity from all the faceless voices from the radio,,,

I've got some more lighthearted doodles coming up next :3c

(keep reading = more ramblings of my love for this movie <3)

Um yeah ok so like- INSTANT favorite movie.

I'm not even really a huge Markiplier fan- I watched a few of his videos here and there since I was a kid, but never been an actual subscriber. Nonetheless, I watched his gameplay of Iron Lung and was excited to hear he was making a movie adaptation! I never had much interest in his other film projects, but had a feeling this would be much more up my alley- and my GOD,,, when I tell you I cried and grieved so much from this movie,,,

First of all- the atmosphere??? If you can't tell from the other fandoms I'm in (John Wick, Alien, Predator, Hellsing, Black Butler, DOOM, etc.) I LOOOOOOOVE gritty gorey bloodbaths and the vengeful wrathful souls behind them. The rusty old ship felt so isolating and claustrophobic, yet so familiar and homey given my other interests. It was just so METAL.

But secondly??? Um??? The quiet rapture??? It's suuuuuch a haunting and frankly existentially horrific concept as a deep deep lover of space. Not to get too personal, but the celestial bodies, especially the stars, are so near and dear to me that I literally pray to them instead of a god. So to imagine a universe where they all just suddenly disappear for seemingly no reason???? It would be worst than death to me, and it's just where the story begins.

Simon was such a loveable character, and I found the long silent minutes with him just mumbling to himself so personal and endearing. Something about Mark's acting makes him so easy to insert yourself into and made the movie that much more emotional.

I've got more to say in later posts but yeah- BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR. It was so unbelievable in theaters and I can't wait to watch it over and over in my home when it comes out on dvd <3

MORE IRON LUNG DOODLES

Some more lighthearted doodles of all the scenes that made me giggle x3c The back and forth sass between Simon and Ava was so fun to watch <3

(more ramblings under the cut)

I only have one more silly Iron Lung drawing planned after this (tho I might draw some more later, this is just my immediate inspirations after watching the movie a few times) so I figured I'd get most of my final ramblings about this movie out <3

I just wanted to say AVA,,,, <3 <3 <3 From just the trailer, her voice gave me immediate chills and literally made me sit up straight. The RAWNESS in her acting is so fucking good and I was latched onto her every word,, She perfectly matched Mark's energy and made the whole movie so much more intense.

And the other voices in the radio and the monster!?! Soooo trippy and revived my love for lovecraftian eldritch horror,,,, The ending was so vague yet just clear enough to leave me inspired and satisfied,, I love watching all the theories, wether I think they're right or not.

I wish I had someone to verbally ramble to cause I feel like I speak better than I write and, again, I could literally go on for hours about all the smallest details,,,

idk man I just love this movie sm TT-TT <3

🛸 MEET DIPPY! 🛸

(This character introduction took FOREVER but I'm so happy it's done <3)

I made Dippy with the intent to replace my main sona- but I love my main sona too much. As a result, Dippy has become more his own character, but I'll still occasionally use him as a mascot/sona when I need something extra scrunkily and ugly :3

My favorite memory of Dippy, is when I showed him to my wife for the first time and her IMMEDIATE reaction was "EW WHAT IS THAT!?". Oh Dippy, you ugly little thing, I love you so <3

REUPLOAD!! Just a meme I did of John Wick and Wander (a couple of comfort characters) back when I was just testing the waters of self-indulgent art :3

Based on this meme:

Dippy Concept Art!!

The first is me trying to make an alien art sona that looks pretty similar to me. Although I enjoyed the designs, I ended up not going that direction with my main sona. I also wanted to give 'em a furry version and a little doodle version so I could really play around with how I use Dippy to express myself!

The second is after I had figured out a solid ugly little design for Dippy, and was planning to use him as the host of my page! I wanted my blog to be Dippy's blog, where he shares all his little fanart and talks about fixing his ship (as a metaphor as me working on moving irl)- but before I could even finish his introductory comic page, I found myself bored and exhausted by the concept. Yeah I kinda bounce around from project to project, so I couldn't see myself sticking to it for long, so a more basic sona and blog fit my ever-changing creative process better! :3

The last image is just a reference sheet for Dippy, but most of the details (such as his human disguise having a dayjob, the design/relationship with his long distance partner, and my own gender/sexuality projected onto him) were no longer canon and I ended up tossing it.

Although I tossed a lot of concepts about Dippy out, and nearly tossed Dippy out entirely, I'm so glad I didn't because he has grown on me like a benign tumor and I couldn't cut him out now <3
