Haha guess who’s back. While waiting for season 3 of HDM and book 3 of TBoD, I’ve become quiiiiite taken with Christelle Dabos’s french serie, “La Passe-miroir” (”The mirror visitor”). Here’s a pencil sketch of Ophelia!

I tried to capture how I imagine Kirjava to look; I wonder what she’ll look like on the BBC show! I’m really happy with how the colors turned out.

I’m forcing myself to finish things that I started drawing ages ago :V I find it so much easier to finish a piece after I’ve taken a long, l o n g step back from it.

Will Parry, trying to look on the bright side after having the worst day of his life having had to leave his mother in the care of his piano teacher, accidentally killing a person who broke into his house, and finally having some peace having escaped to a parallel world where it's warm and there's no one after him: we're gonna be safe! And we're gonna have a great time!

*a feral girl with hair like a birds nest, wearing the same clothes she's been in for like a week straight runs at him out of a door way with a weird looking ferret that talks*

Will: WHAT IN THE JESUS CHRIST WAS THAT!?!?!

TSC Analysis: Talbot vs Brande

Or “Why philosophy is so powerful in a world filled with fear and ignorance?”

I have been meaning to write this piece for a long, long time; both concepts are among the things I have enjoyed the most from TSC and the new dæmon lore. Brande is certainly my favourite aspect of them both, so know that this will be harsh on Talbot’s opinion in general, though I shall try my best to be as impartial as humanly possible.

Spoilers for The Secret Commonwealth and, just to be safe, anything prior to that book.

We start TSC and right at the beginning we get slapped in the face with Brande’s The Hyperchorasmians, followed closely by a very succinct description of Simon Talbot’s The Constant Deceiver. These two books shape, not only Lyra’s early adulthood and her plights through the plot, but the lore of the world and they are responsible for a considerable intellectual shift in the youngest generation of scholars. They are responsible for the devastating presence of dreary philosophy as Lyra struggles with her melancholy, Delamare reshapes the Magisterium and Olivier Bonneville delves deeper into the mystery of the new method of reading the Alethiometer.

These three represent the core of the greater plot, and should (theoretically) be followed and concluded. But we are here today to question the haunting presence of these philosophies in a world that is facing enormous and intrinsic change.

Keep reading

I posted a version of this way back, but I was brushing up my portfolio recently and made some changes I really liked. Fun fact: in the Great File Migration I enacted earlier this year I seem to have accidentally dumped the actual artworking files of this so what I had/have to work with/show is: a medium-sized jpeg. Haha. Oops.

I love Jo Rioux's art style so much! She has great art on her website, https://jorioux.com/, and some awesome graphic novels like The Daughters of Ys and Cat's Cradle: the Golden Twine.
