this feels like the first complete drawing I’ve done all YEAR that I don’t hate

#besides the Howl from a few months ago but I used a reference for that #maybe the key is to use more references 😩#I’ve been stockpiling a bunch of unique pose references on Pinterest so maybe I need to utilize them more #my art #Hollowick #Nox #Lux #original art #traditional art #mobile #x #this scene is not ‘canon’ but if it were it would be several years after chapter 1 #based on Lux’s appearance #if his hair is long you know it’s either a prequel or sequel event

could there be anything more delightful than a pretentious, emotionally constipated wizard going scorched earth over the kidnapping of his 11-year-old apprentice

#i think not #i first wrote a more introspective law-abiding reaction for him but it just didn't make sense. i was trying to control too much #and while I tend to be skeptical of the 'woe is me! I the writer am a slave to my characters!' schtick #I hand the reins over to Nox and he DELIVERS #writing #x #Hollowick

writer milestone: finally letting go of a subplot that hasn't been working for years

#I didn't even like it by the end so it's not like I'm killing a darling #but it was a filler for an onerous expanse of plot #I'll have to rework the whole thing and figure out a new way to introduce that running gag #but it's for the best (and it's all Nancy Pearcey's fault)#the good news is that I hadn't written much at all for it #I guess my gut just knew it was redundant and undermined my themes #writing #x #Hollowick

"What's your comic about?"

"Well, I think it could best be described as an Edwardian Gothic Northern Exposure."

#my parents introduced me to NE this week and it is delightful #the Walt Whitman episode had us all ROLLING #Nox is basically Minnifield with Fleischman sensibilities #x #Northern Exposure #Hollowick #'

#every time I hear a medieval scholar talk about the medievals' understanding of magic I get a massive ego boost #because when worldbuilding Hollowick I asked myself the question #'if God built magic into the world what would be sin and what wouldn't?'#and the result was to unknowingly recreate the medieval understanding of magic #which makes me think that maybe the difference between the Hollowick timeline and our timeline is the Enlightenment #and maybe the reason they didn't have the Enlightenment is because magic is a real component in their world #that can't ultimately be reduced down to scientific principles (no matter how hard the magicians try)#ugggghhhhhhh this is why I love writingggggg #I also keep finding that the 3 sinful magics I designated show up symbolically EVERYWHERE in the story #without my deliberately putting them there #the more I zone in on the magic 'system' the more thrilled I am with the story #and the more I fear blowing it #x #writing #Hollowick

lil sketch of Clare I did last night while my dog loudly expressed indignance that my sketchbook got to sit in my lap and he didn’t

#(which is very heart-wrenching when he’s wearing a cone and is basically three-legged)#Hollowick #Clare St. George #my art #traditional art #original art #x #mobile

when you review your old writing but there's been a Big Meme and now you can't read it the same way
