A Patch of Green

By Ebony Haywood Previously published in Five on the Fifth When my student, Cristina, told me that she lived next door to a cemetery, my ears perked.  “A cemetery?” “Yeah. Sometimes it feels creepy.” Cristina is fifteen with eyes that are always alert and a ponytail that sweeps the air like a pendulum. She is one of those students who believes in the vastness of her future as she invests in…

My solarpunk crust pants so far!!!! I’ve been upcycling some old black jeans for the patches :)) I posted about the Refuse Dystopia block print I made in December, but recently I’ve been experimenting with stencils to make the solarpunk flag (I think it was originally posted to Reddit? I feel like I remember it being posted there)

#a while back i thought abt giving her stretch marks since she had vincent and i finally added em ^_^ #not much else changed since the last time i drew her ref so im gonna take that as a win since i change my mind so much #the other characters im gonna do next.. lucky herschel mulch and rover.. ill probably change up luckys design again though #i think ill make his fur closer to golden.. maybe thatll go better with the green patch on his hair cuz if i make it too close to orange #it looks more like a carrot than a four leaf clover.. i might also make refs for parhelion and eudora but idk if ill draw them much #aaanndd i still need to revamp serildas design.. i think ill stick with the delinquent vibe. and i wanna revisit analogue's design #presto and shuffles designs are also constantly changing but i think i liked what i did last time so changes will be small.... theyre a #little unique among my characters because i see them as both boys and girls. genderfluid? i dont assign pronouns to my characters #so id like to play around with their outfits and stuff. idk why its like that with them specifically but its fun #my art #myart #my oc #oc #augusta #oc ref sheet #reference sheet #kemonomimi #anthro #humanoid #??? #character design

celebrated the fully voiced keen route by drawing one of the three green flags in pizza gam e (including [character that’s a spoiler])

also I forgot to establish the heights in the draw this in my style series so lamp tries to make up for her 5’10 struggles with Intimidating Platform Boots

#pizza game #pizza game vn #warped lamp #warped lamp pizza game #Keenarnor #Keenarnor pizza game #i ALSO forgot to mention he’s the reason she has that pizza patch on her incredibly oversized jeans #i wonder why people don’t draw them as friends much cause they got this malewife/girlfailure dynamic #perhaps i am educating u all on my Piz Gam headcanons #i think after this post I won’t be tagging everyone in it (to avoid this tag being flooded with pizza game drawn in my style shit) #if u read this far the next person is arim #updated the post cause roobits a green flag and I forgot to put it on here

Color! Composition still wonky, but this was done mainly to see how I liked the colors and such. I can reposition and resize birds/leaves/etc another time. And get a decent proper hexagon drawn up.

This has been an exercise in not letting perfection hold me back. I have to start getting back into art somehow, right?

#traditional media #colored pencil #avian #blue jay #Baltimore oriole #bird #wings #sketchbook #personal work #color study #green ash #red oak #im sure I’ll get fussy over the poses of both birds and branches before long #probably won’t work as a tattoo sleeve like I intended but I can always take it in for a consultation #as soon as I find out who I want to do it and if I can even handle the pain and all that #should dig up my loon one first because that will be slightly easier to endure #if I were smart I’d get a small tattoo first #probably a rusty patched bumble bee on aster let’s be honest #this would cost too much money to have done who am I kidding

Behold, The Meme Jacket

This jacket arrangement position is called "LOOK AT MY ARMPITS."

Here's a close-up of the collar and lapels with the jacket laying normally:

The snaps on the lapels hold them open, but can also be snapped closed, which is nice on windy days.

Here's the front of the jacket as it's intended to be seen:

I was very particular about how I designed and arranged these: much like how the back only has color in the middle, I wanted to keep the bright colors to the center. The two brightly colored patches are meant to read like a two-panel comic, or some sort of call-response thing, whatever. The patches along the bottom are meant to read left to right, almost like a four-panel comic. (The Awesome Face patch is just there because it fit.)

What's not obvious from these pictures is that there are inside pockets, which connect to the zippered side pockets! I don't tend to actually use this feature very much, but it does make the pocket space hugely tall in there.

Another feature I don't tend to use very much is the zip-off sleeves. I think I've only ever taken the sleeves off once (plus a few times when sewing patches on, to make it easier to reach where I was working).

The googly eye buttons are holding up moderately well - I might need to replace one of the eyes by next year. If you're gonna do this yourself, you gotta put a metal keyring of the same size behind the googly eye! Wrap the keyring in a piece of fabric (I used the tubular bit from the bottom edge of a t-shirt), and sew it to the button band. Then, glue the googly eye onto the fabric with enough glue to also glue the fabric to the keyring. (I used superglue for this.)

All in all, it's been an incredibly fun project, and one that I get lots and lots of use out of! I'm sure I'll add to it at some point, but I'm calling its current state "done (v1.0)".

#meme jacket #diy #sewing #battle jacket #diy punk #originally the among us patch was going to be fully saturated colors: red killed green in front of blue #and i actually made that patch #but then i realized i wanted a much paler patch so i started redoing it (thankfully the among us characters were linocuts) #so i printed the scene again in white (the way i did the colors was to paint over the linoprint) #and once it dried i started painting the colors onto them. first light blue. then pink. #as i'm shaking the bottle of green paint i realize i've made a trans pride among us murder scene patch completely by accident #i'm okay with this. hell yeah

I have several new colors of patch now available! I'm really in love with the lavender and neon green.

welcome home, green!

i was not planning on adding any more rats to my family, but i couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let this old lady come home with me. she was a part of a sister pair (green and bean :,() but her sister sadly was put down this week after a struggle with cancer. her owner also has allergies to rats and made the responsible decision to find green a home with other rats to be her buddies since her owner couldn’t have any more. green is 2+ and likely doesn’t have much time left due to rats’ short lifespans, but is in good health and good spirits, and has been a wonderful addition so far!

#more vet bills for me LOL #but also riot is currently the odd man out because patch and buttercup are BFFS #so I hope she can be buds with old lady rat #green rat #rat #ratblr

how did the entire world see the northern lights last night except me

#we had no idea about it and i went to bed early ish because i had to be up early #then my bf's brother called and said to go outside to see them so he went out #but he said it was just some sort of lighter patches but not colourful or what we think of as the northern lights #so i was like ok i won't bother getting up #but then today people who literally live in the same place are posting their full on purple green beautiful sky photos??? #talking
