Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time. It's about damn time.

#theterror #edwardlittle
two digital paintings based on screenshots from episode 8 of The Terror. The first painting shows Edward Little in profile with his face downcast, in immense grief. The second follows the same shot, with Little's head now up, looking lost and immeasurably pained. There is text on either painting; one lyric from Bastille's song "Blue Sky & The Painter," that reads, "Would I be who I am without this sadness in me?"

"We all know each other probably as well as we ever shall & I really think there could hardly have been selected a set more likely to get on together."

for week 2 of Sail Out Summer Flash Fest on twitter
a two panel comic illustrating the growth of friendship between Edward Little, George Hodgson, and John Irving from Day 1 to Day 100. On Day 1 we see the lieutenants in their dress uniforms, with Hodgson introducing Little to Irving. Their handshake is polite, as is their regard. on Day 100, the three are seated in their every day uniforms, with Little and Irving laughing easily as Hodgson talks, pointing at Little across the table.

i can't think about Irving and Little for too long or i start shaking uncontrollably

#theterror
John Irving and Edward Little from The Terror. Little is holding Irving close, arm around his back, and pressing their foreheads together. He's gazing at him softly but directly, with a slight smile. Irving matches his gaze nervously, his hand between them, but he isn't stopping the embrace.

a shot from the Satanized music video, but the monk is replaced by Cardinal Copia. he's kneeling on the floor surrounded by monks who were trying to exorcise him. he's looking at someone off screen. reverse shot, showing us what Copia is looking at. it's a scantily exposed ankle of an unknown person in a white dress copia crawls forward towards the person, mesmerized and lit dramatically from below

How does he love me?
With adoration, with fertile tears,
With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire

#theterror
a digital drawing of the three Terror Lieutenants, Edward Little, John Irving, and George Hodgson, in the same pose as Audra MacDonald, Anne Hathaway, and Raúl Esparza from a promotional image for a production of Twelfth Night. Irving is in the middle of the other two Lieutenants, looking and leaning closer to Little on the left, with his face turned into his, barely kissing him. Little also has his hand on Irving's chin, guiding him into the kiss. Hodgson is on the right, slightly behind Irving with his head resting against Irving's shoulder longingly. Both Little and Hodgson are holding Irving's spyglass between the two of them, crossing Irving's chest.

the other canvas is... progressing
a 5x7 canvas with very rough color blocking painted ok, indicating the idea of a shadowy field and a dark blue background. the caption text reads "no idea where i'm going with this one tho." the same 5x7 canvas with much more detail this time, depicting the same shadowy field but now surrounded by trees and alight with moon light on the grass. the caption text reads "anyone else get pissed off when 'trust the process' actually works"

been in the studio lately, up to my usual antics
a small 3x9 inch painting of a long, wiggly furby. the furby's body transitions from red to yellow to green pastels, and is surrounded by faint dabs of similar colors a small 3x9 inch painting of a long furby. its face is white and fades from pink to dark blue. there are stars on the darkest part of its body. the background is yellow, but transitions to white by the bottom of the painting

#themagnusarchives #nikolaorsinov
A digital illustration of Nikola Orsinov from the Magnus archives. They are depicted as a mannequin in a ringleaders uniform. They are posed unnaturally, hunched forward with their head at an extreme angle and their arms jutting up behind them. Their feet are crossed in front of them. Their face is a white mannequin face with a wide smile and empty eyes. They are on stage with an extreme spotlight upon them.

#themagnusarchives
digital portrait of Annabel Caine. She is depicted as a light skin, black woman in profile in harsh blue light. only her face is illuminated, but from her silhouette we can see she has a partially shaved head with wild and loose curls, pinned back to the opposite side. she raises her hand above her face, her index finger connecting with a spider silk strand. the strand connects to a series of stylized webs within her silhouette.

a close cropped sketch of John Irving and Edward Little from The Terror. Irving is balanced over Little, with his arms on either side of his torso. Little is leaning back but braves on his forearms, making intense but startled eye contact with Irving, who also looks unsure of what to do. They are both shirtless. Irving is wearing a necklace with a small cross on it.

happy valentines from cupid's holiest helper 🥰

(i drew this one a couple years ago for #theterror pin up calendar 💌)
John Irving dressed in his nightshirt and thigh high stockinga, wearing his angel costume from the Carnivale. he's also wearing an elaborate rope shibari, the main feature of which is a heart shape over his chest. he's sotting on his bed, reading love letters from the crews, while rose petals scatter over the bed and through the air. there are a ridiculous number of candles behind him.

but what IF Adam became an apprentice...

#saw #chainshipping
Adam and Lawrence from Saw. They're both wearing black robes, suggesting they're doing work for Jigsaw. Lawrence is shushing Adam, his face turned away from the viewer and towards Adam, who is looking out at us as if he's noticed us watching them. His hand is pressed to Lawrence's chest. The two are framed by a rusty iron wall support and various dangling chains.

if nothing else, let Muppet Saw be my legacy

#saw
a redraw of a shot from Saw (2004). Adam is in the foreground looking to Lawrence across the bathroom, with the corpse between them. Both Adam and the corpse are muppets, however. Adam is light blue with a dark blue nose and floppy hair. The corpse is pink, still covered in blood, and you can see the puppeteer wants stuck to its hands. Lawrence is a human. a redraw of a shot from Saw (2004). This is a shot of Amanda wearing the reverse bear trap, during the flashback of her test. She is an orange-yellow muppet with large, downward slanting eyes. a redraw of a shot from Saw (2004). Lawrence and Adam are on the floor in their final moments together. Adam (still a blue muppet) is wailing cartoonishly and bloodied. Lawrence is holding his little muppet hand and looking mostly panicked but also bewildered. a redraw of a shot from Saw (2004). Muppet Adam's final shot of the movie, arm out and screaming for Jigsaw not to lock him into the bathroom to die. His arm is visibly propped up by the puppeteer wand.

Adam's Nightmare 2/2

#saw #chainshipping
page 2 of the comic. Adam jolts upright, waking up from his nightmare. It's dark and he's in his shared bed with Lawrence. Adam looks over to his right to confirm Lawrence is there. Lawrence is peacefully asleep beside Adam, lying on his back with his hand over his stomach. Adam stares for a moment before realizing he's safe, and it was just a nightmare of what happened to him. He sighs. page 3 of the comic. Adam runs a hand over his face while looking at the ceiling, taking a moment to berate himself before lying back down on his stomach, facing Lawrence. He stares. Lawrence shifts in his sleep. Adam smiles, calmed, and goes back to sleep. End of comic.

Adam's Nightmare 1/2

#saw #chainshipping
three panels of a comic. each panel is a repainted scene from Saw (2004), starting with a shot of Adam and Lawrence clinging to each other in their final confrontation. Adam is crying and pulling on Lawrence's bloodied shirt while Lawrence caresses his cheek. The second panel shows Adam's final moments in the film, screaming and reaching a bloody hand out to stop Jigsaw from locking him into the bathroom forever. The final panel is a close up of Adam's eyes, from the opening scene of the movie, where he is underwater in the bathtub. Bubbles spill from his mouth, breaking the borders of the comic panel.
