Holly heck. I freaking adore Your art style. Do you have an insta I can follow and do you have any like, art time lapses I could watch? I really like your style, it’s very realistic, but also has a very pleasing comic book style about it.

Hi! Welcome! Thank you so much! I’m really glad you like my style, and my work! I do have an instagram: 0theghost0I update my works in progress “wips” on my social media sometimes. But I’m trying to figure out a way to do to some streams, or record my process to maybe help others out if they’re interested.

How much time would you say you spend drawing a day / week? Like do you draw at a steady rate of a couple of hours a day or do you go into a creative frenzy once a month and then go into art hybernation and then pace yourself posting art?

I say I draw about 12 hours a day? Between school, classwork and commission work I’d say 12 hours. That’s keeping in mind I have about two, three-hour art classes a day and about 12 hours worth of homework for each.

I didn’t realise you were that awesome twitter account! Your tweets are a much needed cup of hot delicious tea and I am living for them.

Why thank you dear. The Twitter Gotham fandom can be a bit UGHHH sometimes but it’s marginally less ugh than the tumblr fandom. I thought I might as well continue my Tumblr tea brand on Twitter sjfhjhdjv

paperribcage replied to your photo “Well, Cory gave me a clear, concise answer. At least we have that.”

Can the Twitter account stop teasing Nygmobblepot now?

PLEASE THAT’S ALL I WANT

Edwards Hallucination pills:

Gotham Headcannon: Where did Edward Nygma get the hallucination pills? I mean they work perfectly - did he make them? Unlikely. We saw the Mad Hatters proficiency with hallucinogens (with his virus the "Red Queen”), so I think its more likely that Edward enlisted the help of the Mad Hatter to custom make his pills, so they would make him see a specific hallucination. Oswald.

Do you know what I want to see after Gotham S3E14? Edward Nygma, in denial about missing Oswald, but getting protective If anyone dare say a bad word about him.

Edit: this was my speculation after the Gotham season 3 mid season finale, after we found out Edward would hallucinate Oswald.

Imagine it:

Mayor Cobblepot is gone, presumed dead. Edward is suppressing any grief or regret. He still wears the robe Oswald gave him, sometimes, and puts Lillies on Oswald's mothers grave like he said he would, occasionally. He tries not to dwell on what happened at the docks, because it’s not like he can change it. What’s done is done.

With the mayor missing for a week, a ‘young hopeful’ is on the sidelines just eager to take Oswald’s place as mayor, just as soon as the Gotham city allows for another election. What a vulture. Like he can just swoop in and take Oswald’s place? What an idiot. Edward is attending some upper class social, the kind he and Oswald used to attend together, which makes him all the more aware of Oswald’s absence. The wish for Oswald to be here with him fills him with a sinking bitterness that he finds confusing, but he has to attend.

At this social, the ‘young hopeful’ makes some disrespectful comment about how Oswald should have never even made it to mayor, given his attendance at Arkham. “And actually hiring an ex-inmate to be his chief of staff? I think they should have kept him in Arkham Asylum with that kind of idiot thinking.” Edward, though enraged, bites his tongue, and maintains appearances, at the time.

Then later that night when the ‘young hopeful’ gets out of his car, Edward confronts him, saying  “You should watch your mouth. Mayor Cobblepot was best thing to happen to Gotham”. 

And ‘young hopeful’ stupidly says “Please, Mayor Crumble-pot? after his breakdown on TV? And now missing? *pssh* His campaign is dead in the water.”

Those words, those specific words, cause Ed to have a flashback of Oswald, his best friend, dead in the water, reaching out for him. It’s too much. Edward just loses it, all his grief that he hasn’t allowed himself to feel bubbles to the surface and comes out in white hot rage as he swings a crowbar at the idiots head and he hits the ground.

Next thing Edward knows he is yelling at the man, as he pounds blow after blow into him. Screaming that he is not fit to shine Mr Cobblepot’s shoes, let alone replace him. How could he think he could replace him? How dare he even try. Oswald was the king of Gotham. No one could do what Oswald did.  No one could replace Oswald. No one.... would ever replace him…

Some time passes, Edward Nygma realises that the man has stopped moving, realises that he has become quite disheveled and is breathing heavy. He didn’t know.... why he said so much about Oswald, it just, it just... came out. Maybe he does miss him. He senses he is not alone, and he looks up and there is Hallucination Oswald, (who has heard everything he had just said) looking down at him, smugly, saying “Oh don’t stop now, I was just getting misty.”

 Then Edward is willing to admit that maybe, he regrets killing Oswald a little.
