Why why why won't the world revolve around me?

What happens when look_alive draws with muted YouTube videos playing all night?






aeronaut.

Uh. Someday maybe I'll stop using this for gesture drawing...
Also, there are some similarities that I didn't notice until just now, which are heavily ironic, especially in lieu of recent "everybody when the sunlight dies, everybody hide your body from the scarecrow" text message exchanges.

undead prom king.

This outfit should be made. For me. So I can wear it FOREVER.
For zolac_no_miko.

untitled after the anatomy of a fall.

Work in progress for regonym.

inked.

I'm doing at least one more variation on this. Preferably on paper that DOESN'T bleed like a Tarantino extra. Motherfuck.

I have no idea when I started titling things. It makes me feel awkward and pretentious and kind of silly.

FUN STORY, THOUGH. The aeronaut one is totally the confused, illegitimate lovechild of too many hours spent creeping watching William Beckett move and an article on overpopulation in the January issue of National Geographic. The article begins with an anecdote about Antoni van Leeuwenhoek discovering some magical ratio for human populous expansion in a drop of jizz while he's banging his wife. No. Seriously. But anyway, this dude was (probably) Johannes Vermeer's model for these two paintings, The Geographer and The Astronomer, and since in my head William Beckett just happened to fall out of Ye Fünky Auld Times and the picture was half-drawn without a background and stuff, anyway... Fuck, guys, should I even be trying to explain myself and my thought-processes to you people anymore?

...Assuming the answer is no, I'm going to go on to add that I have a theory- no, wait, I have two theories- where his shitty, shitty lyrics are actually meant to be sung in OLD ENGLISH, therefore making them AWESOME and NOT SHITTY. Tangentially, the other theory is that he's a wizard. A really, really crap one who rode the short train to Hufflepuff House and spent all his time letting Moaning Myrtle help him write his songs.

OH OH AND. regonym, I have something else for you. aquidis helped, but I'm totally taking all the credit. MOTHERFUCKER YEAH.

Oooh! I hadn't seen aeronaut before. The scarecrow thing had occurred to me, like, immediately. It's the skinny legs, and the pants. Even the shoes, a little, but not really. I can totally see the William Beckett in him.

Baby, you tell the best stories. And you have the best theories. I laughed out loud.

Funny about the Vermeer stuff. Mom and I just watched Sherlock last night.

IT IS TRUE, 'SEXY' AND 'CRAVATS' ARE EQUIVALENT! I still love my drawing, bb~! <3

I like this new trajectory in your art. It's fun. ^_^

Sorry I'm so belated on commenting on this - I've had this tab open and I keep flipping back to it, and then I get distracted staring at the art all over again. *___________________________*

HIS ARMS ARE SO STRIPY NOW! Seriously, gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous: his face and the scorpion tatt and MISFITS, and his raggedy jeans and the way he's perched on the wall and and and. And I really like the way the tree has grown into the background, it's all spiky! :D :D :D ILIT, IT IS THE BEST PRESENT EVAR.

(Beckett and Mr. Undead are v. v. distracting too - SHOES! I love the way you draw shoes. ♥)
