Third option: THE ROCKETEER 🚀
Amy surrounded by paper doll clothing for a costume of the Rocketeer: a copper helmet, a leather jacket, a jetpack, and Mouser dressed as the outside of the Bulldog Cafe (I swear that the Rocketeer had a pet bulldog of his own but I guess I misremembered)

Who should Amy dress up as for Halloween?? Whichever costume gets the most likes at the end of the week gets a full illustration by Halloween! (since Bluesky STILL doesn't have polls, grumble grumble)

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

I watched Barton Fink for the first time this week and ended up drawing John Turturro fanart for no one but myself #artsky #procreate
A cartoony recreation of John Turturro as the title character of the Coen brothers's movie Barton Fink

I've been holding on to this since July and now it's my birthday and I can finally post this

Gonna be honest, I've never actually gotten prints of my digital art before, so seeing these at @videodrome.bsky.social is surreal. Pick one up at the store now or at next Sunday's screening of HARD BOILED at @plazaatlanta.bsky.social!!

Hard Boiled isn't just one of the best Hong Kong action movies, but one of the best action movies period. Go see at the Plaza on 9/20 it the way it was meant to be seen. Support local theaters, support local artists, and go watch some of the most insane gunplay stunts you've ever seen in your life

I GOT TO DRAW A PROMOTIONAL POSTER FOR @videodrome.bsky.social AND @plazaatlanta.bsky.social'S UPCOMING SCREENING OF HARD BOILED!!! They'll be selling prints!!!

When I first saw this scene in particular at their last screening in 2023, I felt like I was flying. I only hope I did it justice. 🕊️🕊️🕊️
A poster in the style of a vintage comic book splash page for a screening of Hard Boiled, recreating the scene where Chow Yun-fat as Officer Tequila clutches a baby as he runs out of an exploding hospital. The text reads: "PLAZADROME PRESENTS..." "John Woo's HARD BOILED" "AN ACTION TOUR DE FORCE!" "THRILLS!" "CHILLS!" "EXPLOSIONS!" "IN GLORIOUS 4K!"

A friend suggested I draw my cast interacting so they wouldn’t just exist in a vacuum, so expect more like this along with the rest of the character bios in the future! 🤖

Genevieve and Amy, playing a totally normal maze game

#MovingParts #artsky #OCart #procreate
Genevieve and Amy sitting intensely in front of a space-age looking computer monitor, displaying a very familiar looking maze game. The dialogue reads: Genevieve: "Oh, geez... This one looks tough." Amy: "WOW. We're going to have to lock in for this."

Character bios for my work in progress retro-future sci-fi series Moving Parts! Might as well make a thread that I periodically update since it’s been a few months since I made the initial post.

#artsky #OCart #procreate
Amy balancing on a wrench and waving. Her bio reads: “Amelia “Amy” Burroughs is a young girl who eats, sleeps, and breathes technology. Think the scatterbrained genius of Doc Brown with the pluck and determination of Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation, mixed together with the raw unfiltered enthusiasm of a young preteen girl. Amy’s aspiring to become a great inventor, just like her dad, Thomas. The only problem is that she isn’t very good. But what she lacks in prowess (and for that matter, common sense), she makes up for with a sheer, unadulterated love of her craft. Even if the odds are stacked against her - and they frequently are - she works as hard as she can to overcome them. Above all else, Amy is a dreamer, and she does what she does because she genuinely wants to use her talents to help make the world a better place for everyone to live in. Amy might even be one of the most powerful minds in the world...she just doesn’t know it yet. Mouser beeping happily. His bio reads: “Mouser is Amy’s very first robot, a mouse-shaped machine with wheels, built with her dad back when she was just a kid. Mouser is part pet, part Swiss army knife, and can transform into a variety of tools to help Amy complete her projects. Mouser is fiercely loyal to his owner, and does whatever he can to make sure that Amy stays safe -- which is difficult, seeing as he’s the size of a toy car.” A young Black girl stares awkwardly at the viewer while clutching a book. She wears green horn-rimmed glasses, a green polo, and has her braids done up with a white headband. Her bio reads: “Genevieve Johnson, or “Gen” as Amy calls her, is a very mousey, meticulous person - the kind of girl who can't start working until she has every pencil precisely lined up, every label applied neatly, her favorite lo-fi music playlist on at a respectable volume, etc. The two have an almost Odd Couple dynamic together: Amy is very loud, chaotic, and outspoken on her beliefs, but her outlandish inventions frequently backfire; whereas Gen has great, practical ideas and the knowledge to back them up, but is very shy, awkward and introverted. But the two share a mutual love of engineering and building, and have the same goal of making the world better. They complement each other.” A young Puerto Rican girl with big eyes and huge bangs smugly grins at the viewer. She’s wearing an old ringer tee with a peace sign and bell bottom jeans with hearts at the legs. Her bio reads: “Cristina Torres was born with a permanent chip on her shoulder. Heir to the Torres brand air fryer fortune, everyone knows her family, one of the wealthiest in Atom City — everyone except Amy, that is. But Cristina has a genuinely brilliant mind as she aspires to build robots and inventions like Amy, and she'll be damned if this new girl from the sticks takes away her spotlight.”

My string cheese has mascots now? Is there string cheese lore I've been missing out on?

In case anyone was wondering, yes, I did in fact listen to the entire discography of The Protomen while drawing this
