almost forgot to fuckin post these

So like, escapism being an inperfect coping mechanism, whatever, Isn’t it crazy that we can construct whole worlds in our head? Like, yeah those are my guys. Yeah they exist only in my head, but they are wholly real and have lives of their own. No they don’t know who I am. Yes I would die for them.

I can open up a comic, or a book, or a show, any story really, and bam, another world. One that feels just as real as ours, yet only exists in the minds of those who read the story. They don’t actually exist in the real world, no matter how much it feels like they do.

It’s crazy man.

i have not stopped drawing. creepy possessed erin be upon ye

We ALMOST Had Lost TGS Media…

Sage’s Confrontation animatic has been RECOVERED!!!

Original description:

" This is a little storyboard challenge I set up for myself. :) I wanted to board something to music, so I decided to go with the track that originally inspired my obsession with the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when I was in highschool.

My overall thoughts on the musical are . . . elaborate and complicated, but Anthony Warlow's recording of Confrontation has always been the fan favorite. I've had the song memorized for some eight years now, which actually accounts for some of the weirdness of this assignment. The thing is that I've had it memorized so long that I don't actually listen to it much anymore, and I hadn't recalled just how deep Warlow's voice is, especially as Hyde! XD In the years since I had developed my own adaptation of the original Jekyll and Hyde story, which calls for rather different designs for the characters (i.e. Hyde is tiny! tiiiinyyyyyyy) which I fear do not match the voices nearly as well as I would like. :|

Also I'd forgotten just how SLOW the pacing is for this song early on! Please try not to fall asleep! "

Details of the recovery under the cut!

In 2013, Sage uploaded the animatic to Vimeo. There it stayed for a few years until it was linked in the description of Ch 2, pg. 33, where the scene on the page was said to be a partial remake of that animatic.

Around the end of 2024, the link stopped working. The rest of Sage’s work was still available, but the animatic had been completely erased from the site for seemingly no reason.

My first thought was to use the Wayback Machine archive, so someone in a Discord server tried it and managed to get a link! Unfortunately, the site was slow and you could only see the cover of the animatic.

But by MIRACLE, someone had saved it to their phone for years! As of Jan 14 2025, the animatic was recovered in full!

Special shoutout to @jekylls-crippling-depression for her service to the TGS fandom! Thank you! 🙏

Drew this yesterday testing out how streaming works from iPad. Got a pretty good grasp on how to do it :> I'd like to stream drawing comic pages since that's what I draw mostly anyway, obviously those who don't want to be spoiled shouldn't tune into it. But those who don't mind too much, it could be great!

Buggerup Busters Phone Wallpaper! Have had this in my brain juuust shy of one entire year, and only decided to actually make it within the last few days.

All character art and each individual word bubble are from Widdershins by Kate Ashwin (which you should read if you haven’t already) and this is the original post that is the middle text:

maybe if i imagine the character all my problems will be solved
