my gemsona OC is amazingly flexible, has white gold coloration, and originally worked for the Diamonds creating sample typography for graphic design, her name's Lorem Gypsum.

pencilled and inked sometime around early February which I finally painted up today. CW for odontocete nudity.

I switched soundtracks and with it shitposting.

"Luke! Those minor key horns are growing louder! I can't hold them off much longer!"

movie quotes, crass 

"Tell your sister... you were right... I've seen things you people couldn't imagine, attack ships on fire off the shores of Coruscant. I have been, and always shall be your friend... Glaaaagh."

"Wow, so I guess aside from murdering a batch of pre-teens and cutting my hand off while trying to make me evil, he was a pretty good Dad after all."


"Never, Palpatine. I am a Jedi, like my father before me!"
"YESSSS! THIS IS THE PART OF BEING A SSSSSITH LORD I LIKE MOSSSST!"

* zot! *

oh no, sudden minor key brass chord! Clearly, this is the cue for someone chambering a round in an MP40. Oh wait, wrong Harrison Ford series.

And now I sssense you want to continue the ssssearch for young Ssssskywalker.

Patience, my young apprentice. Because I am so evil, I speak slowly and consdescendingly. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

From a couple of months back, thinking about wizards in a foggy, cold, Viking age setting.

the biggest problems with painting in this Peets are that there's a giant amount of glare, so this probably looks not so great, and also a particular cluster of Old White Dudes With Opinions And Also Cologne who hang out here.

Jethro Tull is not blocking them out, swapping to 1200 Micrograms.

aaand my self worth is right through the floor in ways which suggest napping/drawing/some other change of pace.

asking for art advice 

Hm. That dwarf I colored up earlier today, appears lighter on this monitor than on my phone or on my work box (system thing not viewing program).

If you want, could you take a look at crocutable.tumblr.com/post/174 and tell me whether it's really *really* light colored or whether it has good contrast?

uspol, racism, paranoia 

I kinda feel like our government's current take on immigrants doesn't just appeal to racists, provide free labor and make money for allies (lots of stuff up for bid, and bids aren't likely to be determined fairly in this administration).

The more people come here undocumented, the more wind up being naturalized at some point, and Catholicism probably no longer keeps Latino voters leaning right. My cynicism suggests it's partly trying to keep opposition votes down.

ah yes, the Carrie Fisher Bazooka theme. Otherwise known as the Peter Gunn Theme.

... that probably dates me.

movie paraphrase, ethnic humor 

"An' dhose are hash bars?"
"Yeh. It's illegal to carry it but G-d forbid, if you get stopped by a cop in Amsterdam, it's illegal that they should search you."
"Mamenyu."
"You dig it the most!"

"I want you should tell me, from hash bars."
"*I* should tell you from hash bars?"
"*You* tell me from hash bars."
"What's there to say from hash bars?"
"Hash is legal there nebbech?"
"It's legal an' 100% legal, but they don't want you should go to a coffeeshop, order a coffee and a nice danish, and start puffing away. They want that you should smoke in y'home or certain designated places."

movie quotes, violence, all caps 

"I love you, pumpkin."
"I love you, honey-bunny."
"Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
"ANY OF YOU FUCKIN' PRICKS MOVE AND I'LL BLOW YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN' HEADS OFF!"

... sorry, Misirlou came on the speakers.

Then I thought as long as I can't sleep, I'll scan art and prep it for later. This *did* help with some of that chunk of technique, and I feel pretty good about moving that much closer to actually really working up stuff more. Though it was still involved enough that I kinda want to walk away for a while and come back and work on those pictures more later.

Went to Blick, mostly got more paper; went to Target, got new boxer shorts and jeans for the first time in a bit. Did a lot of laundry, but also refined/inked drawings. Stepped back from outrage, trying to remind myself that others value and care about me, as my thoughts before bed.

G'night, Mastodon.
