really excited to see wicked: for good today, but honestly mostly just because it’s so cool to see the world experience the magic of one of my favorite musicals.. it came out when i was 16 and i’ve loved it ever since!!
Same drawing as above, zoomed closer on their faces

psst.. if you read it, did you catch the parks and rec reference? (i bet you didn’t, it’s very random haha)
Panel from the shepherd and the sleeping knight. The sheep aida is holding the shepherd’s cloak in her mouth while he proclaims “what, you think i should take him to the cottage? Where we live?” Cap from parks n recreation. It’s a city hall meeting where a lady is complaining about the parks being closed. She says “school is out in two weeks. What am i going to do with my kids all day? Keep them in my house? Where i live?”

“Am I… alive?”

#deathstranding2 #tomorrow
Digital sketch page featuring the character Tomorrow from Death Stranding 2. She’s shown smiling and happy with a text bubble reading “thanks, Sam”, she’s float-sleeping surrounded by cryptobiotes, she’s covered in tar and ready to fight, and wanding sad and aimless in the dead world.
