Short King Problems.

!~Pretty Alien II~!

Here's the full body version of my Pretty Alien Sailor Moon. The tentacles on the face are sensory organs, but the tentacles on the chest and lower back are limbs. The tentacles evolved as a way to carry one's young and still have full use of one's hands. The opposable thumb on the feet is what gives the impression that Sailor Moon wears high heels. The "skirt," like the "collar," is a wattle that's inflated during mating displays.

I might revist this as a traditional painting...

I’ve decided this will actually be my test weave... gonna start the whole thing over because I have brainworms.

All this work and I’ve concluded I’m gonna have to cut it up to harvest some of the yarn for the next one! The custom multicolor yarns that I made. The issue is those plain weave sections are uhhhh almost 4 ft long. If I reduce the number of picks, I can reduce the length of the plain weave section by half and have a lot more room for cool stuff.

Doing insane shit with string today

redangusart replied to your photo: One of my grad classes on Thursday requires a...

THREE HOURS HOLY SHIT. Good job!! What was it in response to?

thanks! I don’t usually work that fast so I was pleased. It’s in response to “Like Water for Chocolate.”

SPOILER: Tita should have married John, Pedro wasn’t worth it.

But the book had this recurring imagery about fire as passion and how your bone marrow actually contains the ingredients to create match heads so that’s why passion burns you up.

Hey man, I just found your Bart and Chris in therapy comic through a queer podcast about a book series, and I just wanted to say thank you for creating it and putting it out there. As a fellow trans man, I really enjoyed reading it, and I hope you’re having a good day.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to message me!

Can I ask… what podcast mentioned my comic???

(People with podcasts, if you want me to talk about art or comics or trans stuff, I’d be down for that.)

Not to *~ blow my own horn ~* but my pieces for Push/Pull Gallery’s Hieronymus Bosch show are gonna be pretty fuckin hype.

I have been a very bad art school drop-out and have not done any gesture drawing in a looooong time.

A page of 1 minute drawings, and a page of 2 minute drawings.

Why "Panic"?

Because it’s what I do!

I live with depression, anxiety, obsessive skin-picking, and some lingering trauma.

My brain spends a lot of time telling me things like “If you don’t get a perfect grade on every paper you write, you will flunk out of grad school, never get a job in your field, disappoint your entire family, and probably die of, like, a bot fly infestation or something.”

It’s not fun, but I’m doing waaaaay better than I was, even just a few years ago.

I’m working on drawings for several zines that I hope to get riosgraph printed. I thought a neat way to get some interest for these future projects would be to show my work.

Watch me draw and listen to me ramble!

The face I’m drawing comes from a photo in “Artist’s Models 8: Practical Poses for the Working Artist.”

...aaaand here’s what I’m aiming for the final pieces to look like.

Also, I should have more copies of my “R. J. Hill: Therapist” comic for sale later in the week.
