#doodle thoughts

Rotating the idea of a dynamic between a living display mannequin lady and one of the store workers.

Can come to life and move whenever. Worker often sneaks back into the store to meet her at night.

And then in day hours if she's on shift the mannequin is totally still but will sometimes like, move a finger to playfully poke or pinch the worker as she goes past and they are both like: >:^]

Noting this down for future doodle ideas I need to do that more before I forget aha

the crowning of Roboute Guilliman is one of my favorite illustrations of all time and I can't help but think about it and the context of the scene when thinking about a dusk court Nesta. just. look at this:

I want to be able to convey this sort of weight in my own work one day

I’ve seen some people discussing what Virgil’s purple eye shadow represents, so here’s my take:

From what we’ve seen in canon, Virgil’s eye shadow intensifies the more anxious he is, as a visual indicator for how hard his core function is “kicking in” at any particular moment. But when we’ve seen this happen in the past, it’s always been anxiety tied to negative emotions. In the end card, while he’s still visibly keyed up, it’s due to a flood of positive emotions rather than fear or distress.

So it’s not that we’ve never seen Virgil truly happy on camera before; it’s just that in the past, we’ve only seen him happy/smiling in moments when he’s fairly calm, and his influence as Anxiety is less pronounced. So it’s really cool to see not just a different side of Virgil, but a different side of Anxiety: instead of prompting fear, it’s powering a figurative runner’s high: the fluttery, adrenaline-rush, oh-my-gosh-I-can’t-believe-that-just-happened feeling.

I just really like the idea that Anxiety’s influence doesn’t have to be muted in order for Thomas to feel happy—that Virgil can be up to eleven in moments of joy as well as turmoil.

Random thought of the day: Sunburst's type is totally tall ponies. And he's had a romantic crush on both Shining and Cadence at one point....nopony knows this
