Wow! Couldn't Be Further Away!

Original plan was to do something cosier but here’s something for everyone who might have a harder time around Christmas

A first for Autism Month, an original idea! Hans!

He got a neat hat. I love his hat.

Be like Hans.

Get a hat.

Were originally going to draw a blob but that would have become extremely insulting and only I would found it funny

Kind of feel done with couples for now and Valentine, which is natural maybe as it has passed. But before going back to whatever stuff I want to do at the moment, here’s a heart someone drew outside my apartment building. I thought it was cool with all the steps avoiding it, even animals like dogs and birds had totally just gone around it.

May the 4th be with you!

Float home

So! Finally finished Season 5 and the Paris-special.

Thank you Miraculous for reminding me of my emo-days.

I know, I know, the text is messy and on-the-nose but I wasn’t sure how to sell the actual message without having to redraw them both.

Not super satisfied. Might be in a creative low. Been a lot to adjust to my new job. Might find my voice not too far off in the future again.

But I shared a vote and like everyone got a vote each so guess I just made them in the order I saw the comments.

Idk, in my head, I think I pictured this a little bit more colorful but when it came to coloring and shading, I didn’t really know where I was going with it and just tried to save myself. Just forgot for a minute how I used to add light so that was a journey.

But yeah… something about being somebody’s light in the dark. Go and try that. And I will try not to drop the apples all over the floor today.

I work in a grocery store now. Yay.

So. Earlier this year we lost James Earl Jones who in his long career was probably most known as the voice of Mufasa as well as Darth Vader.

As I was busy with my Marvel 85 Anniversary, I took a day and stressed out a tribute to him as well as to Sebastian Shaw and David Prowse but now with actual time on my hand, I wanted to draw my favourite Vader-scene and what he gave to this character.

My favourite scene is the small hallway scene from Ep. 6 where Luke retreats to Vader. It’s the same character from the previous films, the same suit, same voice and all but none of that fear that came along. It’s no longer the monster slaughtering in hunt of the Death Star-plans, choking left and right over the smallest errors. It’s not the man who cut the hand of his own son in rage. It’s a father talking to his son.

It’s Anakin Skywalker, a master engineer admiring his son’s work on his lightsaber. It’s Anakin warning Luke of the dark side. Same mask, same voice, now portrayed as a slave more than a fist. It’s Anakin thinking back on Obi-Wan and the mistakes of his life and the prison he put himself in.

It’s Anakin saying it’s too late, son.

Well, a lot is of course the passivity of David Prowse’s performance and Mark Hamill leading the conversation but James Earl Jones gave the final push to make Vader more man than machine in his final hour of privacy, before the two entered the Death Star.

This moment between the two is important to strengthen Luke to yell out to his father in pain, to Vader to finally turn after all this time and for them to get a moment to say goodbye and Luke to attend his father’s funeral in the midst of a celebrating galaxy. Without this, Luke would probably still have hope, but now he has evidence of the light side in him.

Or I’m just overthinking. But damn, James Earl Jones was brilliant as Darth Vader and the AI hasn't been close to replicating what he gave to this character.
