#river art

Just walk in the misty morning of a forest.

I know, it’s crazy to get two pieces of art from me so back to back lol. My New Year’s resolution was to be more creative, if you can’t tell.

This is from the christmas scene in Existential Crisis Mode by @luciaintheskyainthi on ao3 (it has me in a chokehold right now, expect more art of spideyhood in the future)

Without the speech bubble version below the cut

I got into dandys world. Uhhh guess who’s making a comic based on one run I did with my friend?

(Pssst @tinysweetbunny is said friend) (guess who’s who! Introductions will be on a page eventually)

em and mallory glass!! i drew the original maybe a month ago now, but i finally scanned my traditional stuff for paintovers :] design notes below the cut!!

their clothes are loosely based on some of mine and my brother's slightly more formal clothes from when we were <10y.o - a scout uniform and school pinafore respectively. em's ascot is shorthand for "rural formal" to me

the pattern on em's collar also features on my katabasian designs

the pattern on mal's collar is the same as the broken traditional pattern on faulkner's high katabasian robes, as foreshadowing for her losing her faith

mal is painted wearing greens because she is born to the land. em is blue, because he is born to the water

em is meant to vaguely resemble faulkner. he has dimples, freckles, and similar feature + face shapes

despite the dour air over them, this is just a grumpy boy not wanting his picture taken and his sister caught between his bad mood and her nana's stern direction - truly honestly nothing bad happening to them at this moment. im pretty sure there are pictures of my brother and me with the exact same vibe

Have a Dean :)

(Not to brag, but this is my best work so far I think)

The Dear Hunter: Act I - The Inquiry of Ms. Terri

The inquiry of Ms. Terri, the expiry of misery

The table turns the Sun along the riverbed and he's alone

Her object of affection

Conflicted by convictions of indecency, sorority

Corrupted by impropriety

The cavalier she hopes of him

In dissonance with experience

The Boy who grows with knife in hand

To fend for her, becomes a man

While she plays fake affection and carefully lacks objection

To her gentleman callers' twisted desires

Touch! Taste! Feel!...it ripping me down!

Reprise two times

The Dime, burn it to the ground

Oh, on the ground?....

(My absolute favorite track from Act I. An old piece I did way back while visiting New Hampshire and bringing with me my old 1980s Czechoslovak watercolor paint box, which I'm astonished that it still works. Lots of places with lakes, rivers, wooden bridges, old architecture preserved in some towns, old train railroads and just an overall foreign and beautiful vibe for me...a great place to dive into doing my first renditions of some of the tracks on the first album.)

Sometimes I wish I could be a teen 20 years ago in 2000s when these albums came out. I completely missed that period.
