Me and my friends left Wonder Woman in silence, and once we got to the train home just started ripping into how God awful it was. Me knowing a fair amount about the horrors of WWI trench warfare, was especially unkind.

My partner and I just realized we can do an insane double feature movie night where we watch movies starring our dads.

The craziest trick I've recently picked up by the old masters of comics, is using a razorblade to "erase" inking mistakes.

Western comics: "Make sure your gutters are consistent!"

Mangaka: "The larger I make the gutters, the smaller I can make this drawing."

Truly! I love noticing this is comics, and it's usually in books with the most beautiful art (Nausicaรค, Witch Hat Atelier, Drifting Dragons). My umbrage comes from measuring out gutters, which is already cheat at by using tape.

God, actually drawing the panels has to be my least favorite part of drawing comics. I dread inking boxes over any complex composition.

Y'all cannot be out here suggesting signal as a viable replacement option for discord. That's like offering a burner nokia as replacement for an iPhone.

A black and white with tones of grey illustration on off white paper. 

Two male figures sit on a cart being pulled by horse towards a large dark Victorian house. The house is situated on a small island at the end of a causeway. The track is muddy, damp and clumps of seaweed line either side. Weak winter sunshine streams from behind grey clouds shining on the slate roof of the house. The house has a sinister and foreboding atmosphere.

Thanks, Ma'at! These have been really fun practice. I can feel myself decision making shifting because of them (in a good way).

A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration.  The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric.

Another favourite of mine for The Woman in Black that didnโ€™t make the final book.

Chapter Six: The Sound of a Pony and Trap.

Jirass from Ultraman

Jirass from Ultraman

Not the same universe, but this is Jirass who was made by attaching the '65 Godzilla suits head to the '64s body, adding a frill and repainting it. Tsuburaya productions made the suits for the Showa Godzilla movies, and later on Ultra Q, so they had a good relationship with Toho to reuse props.
