Day 6 and 7

All caught up! My hands are so cold :C




For absolutely no reason whatsoever, I read through Girl Genius over the weekend. The jury's still out on whether or not I'm a fan, as Agatha tips the Mary Sue scales, and the art yo-yos from 'oh sweet' to 'what's wrong with your face??' I did decide, however, that I am fond of the Jägermonsters. Maybe it's the toothy grins, the silly accents, or the fact that they are GOOD AT FIGHTINK. I think my brain's ability to translate Homestuck trollspeak (YOU S33 W3 4R3 M34NT TO B3 B3ST H4T3FR13NDS FOR3V3R) made it easy for me translate how the Jägermonsters talk. At times it gets heavy handed and annoying, but it's one of those quirks you put up with because you love them. I realized I liked the Jägermonsters when I was getting to parts where Bad Things happen, and I found myself getting worried. The rest of the cast I'm pretty meh about so far, but then I'm like OH NO DIMO NOT YOUR ARM D: D: Needs more Jenka though. Chick power!

Also hats lmfao




I used to be able to draw Hellboy and Abe from memory, but not anymore! Oh well. I think it was a matter of memorizing weird shapes and shadows. I always liked Mignola's style, and during my first year of college, that style is what filled the margins of my notes. I even had an original character, that was BFFs with Johan. I drew her a lot because she was fun and could beat people up with telekinesis. There are some half finished terrible fanfics in my notebooks somewhere, too, all written before we really knew anything about Abe. I only keep up with the TPBs of Hellboy and BPRD now, as the magic is kind of gone when Mignola's not the artist. Some of them are good at getting his style down, but the rest... Man, look at Mignola's stuff, then put it side by side with Guy Davis (who does the BPRD comics) and yeah. Let me just say I hate Guy Davis' hideously sloppy style (I mean, you SHOULD be able to tell the different between Kate and Abe... right!?) and I will forever be bitter that he got to cover Abe's entire backstory. ANGRY FAN RARR.
