spotted on the wall behind the white horse theater!!

Happy one year to Bolt in the Blue by @valeriianz ! Truly the best band au fics I've ever read, I am Endless' #2 fan forever (#1 is Hob, of course) 💙🎸✨

+ alt. colors for the flyer & other scans:

i love taking advantage of my art uni's massive (MASSIVE) scanners for literally anything i can. it's got the most gorgeous grit and scan banding that photoshop trickery cant replicate (though i try lol). so, yes, i literally printed out the b&w flyers, scanned them in, then added color and printed them again to stick on my wall haha.

when digitally adding color, i wanted it to really feel like black ink on colored paper instead of trying to print on color paper and then scan it again (i have done this before idk). i think the xerox-y look is pretty convincing! the green, pink, and purple are my personal favs.

an irl friend suggest i try non-black-ink versions to see what i liked. i think they look cool but some of the text gets a bit lost. still, i like the pale yellow+red ink one. (this almost makes me want to try riso printing this to see what it'd look like 👀👀).

^ this is what the white horse metal barrier edit looked like before I added the Huji Cam filter lol. it wasn't feeling convincing enough like this, so i actually took a photo of my laptop screen with the filter and somehow that looked more real than the actual shot from the show lol. (also, because i've stared at this screenshot for so long, the orange/yellow June 12th poster? is everything on it a reference?? loll)

anyway, had a lot of fun making this!! feel free to print if you want!! READ THE FIC EVERYONE GO READ BOLT IN THE BLUE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photo study practice, with as minimal color eye dropping as I could. Took just about an hour and half total (although my profs said we should be able to do this in like 20 min?). Original reference pic from Mary O Photography (link)!

...I think you can tell I get a bit distracted lol

WIP + ABANDONED DOODLE DUMP TIME YAY

1 + 2) Dreamling-ish! (Hob & Daniel) Started Oct 2022 and I'm STILL trying to figure out the lineart. Trying to make it a bit surreal/abstract, a borderless comic where each panel connects to each other. My first time drawing Hob, and without a reference bc I was being dumb, so I think i still need to go back and tweak things a bit. Def going to finish it one day though.

3) Dreamling doodle that I've lost the context for. Really like it though!

4) Mini comic of Morpheus and Lucienne that I wanted to use to promo the Into the Dreaming zine! Thought it was cute but a bit convoluted as zine promo :(

5) Right I really struggle to chibi-fy my art style and wanted to doodle some dreaming folk and endless siblings. Didn't really go anywhere but fun!

6) Drawing Morpheus in fleshtone feels a little strange so this was an excuse to make him look distinctly different from any other time I've drawn him + motivation for the strangest finals week I've ever gone through in my life.

7) Bonus! The first Dreamling art I ever did and never finished, and probably the first Sandman art I did, under the cut because it's so noodle-y lol:

Aww Murphyyyy

i have so much art i want to do for this fic but time keeps escaping me so. some old sketches (from oct 2022) for the first dreamling fic i ever read, back last august. literally blew my tiny mind i love it so much and reread it very often. i always pictured hob in that fic as a combination of comic hob and tv hob :)

We have all the time in the world (on Ao3) by @anthrossandman !!

8 & 17 for the ask game :^)

HI KC!!!!!!!!! Thanks for asking!!

[ ask game! ]

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in?

Hmm.. I have a tendency to sit on sketches/wips for months on end before I feel ready to finish them, but I just like to let it happen as it does because the interest always comes back around! So honestly, there's no idea I've truly abandoned, just repurposed later on.

Here's some wips that are all each about between 2-8 months old (that I will work on as soon as I get a second of free time!) :) —

The wips, in order (yes, they're all Sandman lol): Corinthian's unmaking (kinda Corintheus-ish) inspired by a line from Frankenstein (started March 2023) // a Dreamling piece for (a favorite fic!!) Ecdysis by @moorishflower inspired by old insect scientific drawings (started Oct 2022) // Daniel Hall semi-inspired by this post by @notallsandmen (started Jan 2023) // Daniel & Hob (more wips posted here , started Oct 2022) // a piece inspired The Doll's House arc (started March 2023)! :]

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? If so, what?

No eating usually, but I've always got a sparkling water with me nowadays lol
