Field sketch of Holy Ebrietas

#bloodborne #ebrietas daughter of the cosmos #my art #please ignore the bad quality photo it's dark and I haven't the patience to wait 'til tomorrow #ebrietas you're amazing but your many appendages took me like five hours to draw #I need to mess about with pencil more this is the first proper pencilwork I've done in months #every detail in this is wrong because I used barely and reference and then embellished like hell but whatever it's cosmic horror #as they say; fuck it we ball

In that vein (hah), I just have to take a moment to gush about the costuming in The Lost Boys because. Have you seen the costuming in The Lost Boys. Like each costume standing on its own without anyone in it still gives you a sense of a whole character, which is important because some of these characters don't get, uh, lines. We have to be able to distinguish them immediately by visuals, and the thing is, we can, because they're not just dressed to look attractive, they're dressed with the purpose of establishing character.

Like, consider Michael. They kept it very simple for him, on purpose, he's a regular everyman kind of guy thrown into a Situation. But also, he's trying too hard. The white t-shirt, jeans, and leather jacket call back to James Dean, Rebel Without A Cause, but the leather jacket's brand new without a scuff or a crack, not broken in, and it sits uncomfortably on his shoulders. The earring doesn't suit him - it belongs to somebody else, a funhouse mirror version of himself that he's tempted by, but also it literally belongs to somebody else. Who gave him that earring? Star's implied to have done the piercing, for him, which also tracks - the earring's a little piece of someone else, someone darker and wilder, that's been dug right down into his flesh by his association with Star. It's tasted his blood.

It's also a little piece of the boys' uniting aesthetic bleeding over onto him. There's a magpie sensibility to all of them, but then each of them are visually distinct as themselves within it.

Star's clothes have 80s cuts but form a 60s hippie silhouette, solidified in time. She's the most colourful of them all, her white tops signifying a flash of innocence, but at the same time as she climbs on David's bike, she pulls on a big black jacket that almost envelops her, a little piece of his shadow falling over her and devouring her light. Again, it doesn't quite fit her, like she's playing dressup as a darker, wilder self just like Michael is.

And speaking of David. That boy is chin to toe wrapped up in black. The coat references batwings, which is a great detail. And those gloves! He doesn't touch Star; he doesn't touch Michael; he doesn't touch the world, except through a layer of darkness. It's real Old West, white-hat-black-hat level symbolism. Except.

The real villain of the piece isn't the dangerous, sharp-edged boy in black - although of course you need to look out for him, they don't call him 'dangerous' for no reason. The real villain of the piece is the most perfectly conventional, middle-class, unassuming, don't-look-twice take-him-home-to-mother normal guy imaginable. Grey and beige. Business casual.

It's the perfect camouflage for a predator.

(And then also like. I can't wax as poetic about it right now because my brain cells are otherwise occupied. But please consider how much character is there in, like, the Frogs' army-surplus duds and Sam's terrible, incredible shirts.)

#the lost boys #costuming is characterisation. thank you for coming to my TED talk #is any of this coherent. have i just been swept away on this movie's tide of sensuality homoeroticism and oily sax man music #this is why in my 'michael turned sooner and everything went to shit' fic I have him collecting embellishments left right and centre #he's really truly fitting into the pack now. not just playing dressup #also something something borderline anachronistic details something something timelessness something

given i had a fever and was often shaking uncontrollably the entire time, I think I did a really good job on this plant pot...

it has a built-in drip catcher, complete with an aquatic snail and a little frog to enjoy the run-off :)

#it seems to be a weird cold #after several negative covid tests #detailing this one took me abt 5 hours across last night and today #i threw this on the wheel and then altered it + added texture and embellishments #pottery #ceramics #frogs #fungi #mushrooms #my posts #this shit's mad whimsical

courtesy of the enablers in my notes, here is my Flamingo Wisdom gained from the catch today

first of all, a flamingo separated from its flock (as it has to be when you are moving that beast around) is kind of like a horse, in that it will freak the fuck out if a leaf so much as moves in the corner of its eye, and it really really really wants to break its stupid twig legs by any means necessary. and you really cannot let them do this, because they will probably die, but they are stronger than they look and despite their insane 70+yrs captive lifespan they appear pretty fucking determined to spectacularly remove themselves from this mortal coil. if they cannot kill themselves, they will simply attempt to kill something else; if you do not personally clamp their beaks shut using your entire hand they will reach around with their long stupid tube necks and start swinging without hesitation. they bite, and will rip out hair and earrings and whatever else in reach they can get their fucked up beaks on. several of the flamingos were covered in visible blood stains of unknown origin before even picking them up, and half the day was spent wondering if one had been attacked and was doing all this bleeding, but as far as i know nobody ended up finding any which left way more questions than answers

to transport a flamingo is a two-person effort, because they are so long and so desperate to fuck up themselves or whoever is around them that you need at least two sets of hands to pull it off safely. one person holds the flamingo facing backwards tucked under one arm kind of like a set of bagpipes. with the other arm you have to hold both legs apart, because if they are allowed to lash out you get fun accidents like "vet tech pummeled in the balls with full force of both flamingo feet at once, advised to leave premises". you have to hold the legs facing downwards, otherwise the circulation gets cut off, as they are physically incapable of pumping their own blood down there without the effects of gravity. the resulting effect looks kind of like you are holding a guitar wrong, or slow-dancing in a really fucked up way. it is also objectively impossible to place your hands on the bird in a way that you will not get pissed on.

the second person has to stand just behind the first and supervises the head, holding its beak shut as shown and supporting the neck in a comfortable position. some flamingos do not Have a comfortable position and will just spend the entire time wriggling and trying to bite you, which you just kind of have to deal with. you also get direct eye contact with the beast at all times, which is. interesting and unnerving

the only people handling them solo were the vet in charge of weighing the animals, the guy sticking them into the back of a van, and my boss, who stood in the corral chasing groups of them into a smaller pen for catching. every time a pair came to collect their next bird he would open the door to the pen, head in alone, you'd briefly hear the most fucked up cartoon fistfight-esque noises from inside, and about thirty seconds later he would reappear with an entire flamingo tucked casually under one arm like a football and just hand it to you. most baffling part of the entire experience, i think

despite the turbulence however they did make it safely to their new home :)

#THIS IS NOT 100% ACCURATE SOME DETAILS ARE SLIGHTLY EMBELLISHED FOR FUNNY PURPOSES. IF ANYONE AT WORK SEES THIS DONT FIRE ME #i am only Barely exaggerating though like im not Lying #only learning the most vital skills for my resume at my work experience volunteering job. at the Duck Zoo. flamingo holder #most fucked up birds ive ever been up close to i am fascinated and appalled.#the first image is a rambunctious young man (born 2017) the second image is a senior citizen (caught as an adult bird in 1961)#LIKE. some of these birds have been here since the sixties when it was still legal for a guy to just Take Birds from places #isnt that insane. its insane to me #anyway that it thats the post #tw unsanitary #ask to tag

This is another personal favorite, Turquoise Paramount. I made it back in 2012. It is one of the first of the more complex style of Stone Dragons I did. It's also the very first where I said, "I do not want to cut out all those blanged spikes. DO NOT WANT. So I preserved a lot of the nice background watercolor wash. I think that was a good decision design-wise, as well as a sanity-saving measure. The effect of the dragon popping off the page worked out better than I had planned, and I continue to use this technique to the present day.

...To make up for the efficient handling of the dragon, I added a border of tiny acrylic tiles. Yes, I placed all of those buggers by hand, because one way or another, I am a design masochist.

The dragon layer is comprised of Prismacolor pencil over a watercolor wash, over an ink drawing. There is gold paint pen detailing. There are the tiny acrylic tiles along the dragon's borders. There are metal jewelry bits and watch gears along the upper and left edges, and there are some Arizona turquoise stones. The gold bars on the lower and right edges are matboard.
