LOVE what you ended up doing with Franklestiltskin

And I really like the anchor doodle, too, how fluid it is.

THANKS! AHAHA.
That background drove. Me. CRAZY. Seriously. I spent three whole nights at work trying to figure it out. Like, I'd spend all one night on it, come in the next night and hate it. Erase it. Redo it. And on and on. What even is my life.

Yeah, I kept trying to make it a full-size legit thing, but it just wouldn't work. Still not sure if it looks under-water enough, but adding bubbles and shit seemed tacky.
I kind of really love drawing rope.

But it worked out in the end! Everything is okaaay.

I like how ambiguous it is; I thought she was floating in air at first.

ROOOOPE

Yeeeah... There was that moment a couple weeks ago when it made me crazy enough to actually have a two-second tantrum and kick the recycle bin under the counter I draw at REALLY HARD and it was REALLY LOUD and echoed in the huge, silent unit, and woke Dan up so he nearly fell off his stupid chair. Haha. Fucker.

So like. I shouldn't tweet it at them, right? That'd be totally weird, right?

Besides that. AHAH THANK YOU. Geez, you have no idea. I'm having a very ITW-type reaction to Anchor right now, where I sorta wanna illustrate song by song. Urgh. ♥ THEM. And also YOU. ♥ ♥ ♥

I do, yes. And the flailing is always appreciated.~

OMG OMG OMG

*_____________*

FRANKELSTILTSKIN OMG. SHUT UP WITH THOSE CURLY-TOED SHOES AND THE SKELETON GLOVES HOLY SHIT AND HIS LIP RING HOW SO PERFECT HOWWWWWWWWW. ALSO I LIKE THE WRAP-UP BALLET TYPE SHOE THING GOING ON. NICE.

ALSO HOLY FUCKING GOD BRENDON OH MY JESUS OKAY SO I DIDN'T NOTICE THE STITCHES ON THE MOUTH UNTIL I OPENED THE FILE IN ANOTHER TAB AND CLICKED IT TO FULLSIZE AND STRAIGHT UP RECOILED FROM THE SCREEN (AND THAT IS AN AWESOME THING, I LOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE CREEPY WITH THESE, IT IS SUCH A CREEPY STORY ALL TOLD) AND HOLY JESUS HOW ARE HIS EYES SO SCARY HOW DID YOU DO THAT OH MY LORD

TO SUM UP: I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT IF YOU PROMISE NEVER TO STOP DRAWING THINGS.

8DDDDDD AHAH WHOO!~ SEE? AND THIS IS WHY YOU ARE AWESOME AND MAKE ME WANT TO DRAW FOREVER. YOU PROVIDE THE CAPSLOCK THAT MAKES ME ALL TINGLY RIGHT DOWN TO THE COCKLES OF MY CHARTREUSE LITTLE HEART.

I'M SO GLAD YOU APPROVE! No, seriously. It makes me really happy that you're cool with this, and that, like, you get the whole not-exactly-fan-art thing that's going on here.

Dude, the zombie Brendon thing was living in my head for WEEKS. I think I've pretty much resigned myself to making all of these are creepy and sketchtastic as I can, which is pretty much always my m.o., but. You know. It's nice to have the validation here. :D Any excuse to draw lips stitched shut, you have no idea. ...And how many times in high school I got sent to the councilor for doing stuff like this in class.
Ohgodddd you know that for all my talk, I'm not gonna be able to stop when I start school. I'm going to be in my child and family practice seminar, sitting there drawing boys making out and crazy demon wolf possession and shit and I AM NEVER GOING TO GET ( ... )

hi, so um, I saw the art you did for bbb this year, and your style is kind of awesome. I hope you don't mind if I follow you, I'd love to see more of it! ♥ (I mean, this post! cravats!! :D )

Hey! Dude, you can totally friend me, I'll friend you right back. Your bbb piece makes me SO happy.

The easiest way to see the rest of my stuff is to use my "art" or "draw gud yes" tags, that should cover it (and I'm a huge attention-seeker, so this thrills me jsyk). Bigger versions are at my blogspot (link at the bottom of this post), should you feel so inclined.

I'm on my phone at work right now, so I can't really go looking, but what's the best way to find your stuff?

And hi, cravat appreciation? You can stay, please. ♥

:D :D :D yay! (and aww, thank you dude. I had fun colouring that one)

I'm def going to look through those tags! your style is so much rad (where on earth have you been hiding, i don't know how I've missed seeing your art around fandom before!)

i used to post all my arts to LJ, so my art tag and bandom tags but now I just post everything to my tumblr. whoo tumblr.

and unf, cravats were maybe 90% of what my participation in bandom revolved around. no, really. It was kind of embarassing (except not really. cravats and waistcoats and tailcoats, oh my.)

Hah um. Yeah, Mikey's face in your bbb piece is my current favorite thing about the world.

I... am not really in fandom. Like, at all, really. I was thrown forcefully at bandfic back in November by a friend (is the short version) and the Into The Woods series I'm working on for manipulant is about as close as I've come to like, interacting. I was talked into the bbb thing, the idea of which I love and got all excited about, but honestly it made me kind of crazy and self-conscious and I feel like my piece was so sub-par. ...Urgh. But yeah, you haven't seen me because I've been basically nonexistent (which I assume is also why I haven't seen you). Recently I've been considering a little more involvement, just cuz I sorta wanna post my lame little comics. Maybe. Idk.

I'll check out your links as soon as I get home in a couple hours. Wow, this is weird. I never talk to other drawing-types. :D

Hahah you may absolutely add me. I'll add you right back! Your bbb piece made me smile.

I can't really take credit for the Frankelstilskin idea (or the Thorns, or the Pea Episode, or the Second To Last Afternoon, or the Whole Garden Whole Storm, or... whatever else I'm forgetting.), since those were the author's concepts, but yeah. I'm not so great at doing proper fan art, like, "Draw this scene with these dudes doing this" kind of deal (bbb was HARD), but I loooove just dicking around with pre-existing ideas and seeing where it goes. And hey- I can't sit still long enough for digital media stuff to save my life. I think holding a pencil/brush is probably the one thing in my life I've ever found that keeps me sitting still for more than ten minutes at a time, but if you want me to do anything involving color? ...Yeahno.

My McQueen influences should be attributed to aquidis, my lovely roommate who sat me down and showed me a bunch of his old collection shows. And now all I ever do is draw his female pieces on dudes. Cravats, however. I ( ... )
