I Believe in Heroes
Late 20s sci-fi nerd from Scotland. I read, I write, I watch, I draw, I spend inordinate amounts of time thinking about fandom-type things. Also spaceships. Asexual, aromantic, agender, autistic, and of the opinion that everything is better with superheroes. Check out my art blog over at @spacecapart

#i still know several christmas carols in latin#my latin teach in secondary school was enthusiastic about singing#and he got to take over assembly once a year and have us inflict latin carols on the rest of the school#no idea why i still remember so much of them but my memory is just Like That#polls

Now that I've got something for most of the pages, I need a new metric for recording progress on the Sam comic, so
Pages with panel layout finalised: 19/24 (nearly 20, one has a bunch of small panels piled on top of each other that'll be easier to plan digitally but the rest of the page is done)
Pages with text placement (roughly, subject to future tweaking) figured out: 12 and several halves
Panels properly thumbnailed: 31 (out of 79 currently laid out across those 20 pages, best guess is that there'll be just over 100 total once I've got all the page layouts done)
So I'm nearly a third of the way there, which is further along than I thought I was! I'm getting the easy panels out of the way first, admittedly, but still, making solid progress.
#comics stuff#no place for a doctor#this thing's starting to resemble an actual comic which is wild#a scribbly pencil sketch one sure#but the point of this second round of thumbnails is that they're parsable#so it will technically be a readable comic by the time i'm done with this step#which is nuts#exciting though

Got sidetracked by other projects for a bit (including paying work for once, which was nice, if on a stressfully short deadline), but I got another couple of panel layouts pinned down and sketched in most of four more panels this evening, so progress
Big thumbnails partially done: 16 pages out of 24
Big thumbnails finished: 1 page
I really want to get this Sam comic fully thumbnailed before the end of the month, so in the interests of accountability:
Out of 24 pages total:
Small thumbnails finished: 14
Small thumbnails partially done: 8
Still to thumbnail: 2
Big thumbnails finished: 1
Big thumbnails partially done: 1
Still to thumbnail: 22

Had a discussion with a close friend last night and I'm curious.
Feel free to rb and tell me about your childhood best buddies! ^_^ Mine was a unicorn that my grandmother made me when I was 3 named Kasma, and I still have her!
#yup! i was given hannah bear as a baby and she's lived in my bed ever since#she doesn't get hugged but she guards the ladder gap (i have a loft bed)#i've also got a few other childhood toys on a shelf#including a beanie baby cat called prance who i think is older than my youngest sister#polls

I've accidentally gotten Way too invested in some characters I've been playing with for a 'one of my beloved early 2000s crime dramas but this time people are actually queer' type story, so here, have some middle-aged gays
George is a detective, Tim is a forensic pathologist, they're an established couple because I don't really write romance but I do enjoy a bit of domesticity, and any resemblance you may notice to other characters that I've drawn a lot is probably entirely deliberate, this is an exercise in self-indulgence
#original character#character design#mlm art#original character art#oc artwork#don't ask me why sometimes i post art on this blog directly and not my art blog#there's no coherent system it's just vibes#anyway i love these guys i got very attached very quickly#yes they're blatantly based on other characters but they're becoming their own people rapidly as ocs tend to#also the only reason i'm not drawing them as specific actors#is because i think this story would make a neat comic and you can't just steal someone's face#i'm too good at likenesses to get away with that#in my mind though these guys are still played by colin firth and a guy called tom ward#but i shall be drawing them as Those Actors but Slightly To The Left for plausible deniability#anyway i've got a whole movie-length story plotted out with these nerds#expect to see more of them#artistic endeavours#personal stuff#my OCs#gay detective thriller thing#which really needs a better name than that...#george glen#tim kingswood#comics stuff

Tried and failed to make a coherent post about this but the Granny Weatherwax moment that lives with me forever that I never see quoted is the “what has he ever done to me, that I should hurt him so”

I'd like to introduce everyone to this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).
This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.
But that's not all! Behold!
You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!
It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!
I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.
So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.
#yeah no i love this thing#something about the cheerful patchwork doll vibes and the thoroughly macabre subject matter delights me#like it's the flesh tones combined with the floral fabric#also the bright pink insides and the cartoony skeleton#and the inherent cosy vibes of crochet but it's being used for internal organs#love it#art#sculpture
