Look! Legends-stuff!

LATE MAY THE 4TH AND REVENGE OF THE 5TH!!

Been away to Comic Con so was unable to post but back now!

It was so fun! Got a selfie with Mark Waid and he signed my Kingdom Come! It was amazing!

And got an X-Men poster SIGNED by R. B. Silva! As well as some classics to my bookshelf like “Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” and “Demon in a Bottle”

10/10 weekend!

Ever felt such anxiety when your legs stop working completely? Where you can’t move anything underneath your shoulders really. Where you have no other option than to stare up to the ceiling, waiting for your body to respond again. Alone with your thoughts. No clue what happened or why, just accepting that it’s a part of your life now.

Had the first of these attacks over a year ago. It lasted an hour. The next as well. Then 50. 45. 30. I still have them, but mostly 15-20 minutes before I get my legs to move.

I still don’t know what causes them, but I have learned to see them coming. Days in advance where my autism can be a little extra, social skills go down for a moment, hyper-attention goes way up. Or random heavy breathing, now that I have a job can last the whole afternoon, where I spend every break meditating, 5 minutes at a time.

One day I will learn to counter them

Black Manta! He had autism once! Then Aquaman cured him! And he turned good! Then he got bad again and it was never talked about again as far as I know.

I barely remember what happened, I guess I just wanted to draw Manta.

He liked the touch of water, that’s a thing.

I can enjoy the touch of some things. Like… wooden chairs and jeans.

And I can dislike stuff like the weight of the water on your body post-shower or snow on my face, it feels like I’m gonna bleed.

Touch is weird, I really don’t have much to say about it.

Were originally planning to just redraw an old basic post, the two of them jumping over a rooftop but felt… nah. I’m not satisfied with my Miraculous-work. I need to do something big, something detailed, something filled with love and wow and oof. And I had done like posters and phone-backgrounds before but never given Miraculous a real character-filled wallpaper before like Spider-Man, Star Wars or Justice League so here! Probably my most claustrophobic wallpaper yet but actually losing to both Spider-Man 2 and Life is Strange with just 15 characters compared to their 16! But this is filled with full body-drawings, fully drawn, zero traced faces or anything and took like a week to make thanks to also working now, so the longest project to date! You’re welcome!

I wanted something to represent the whole Agreste-Saga and had a ton of different ideas and sketches to pick from. There was the book, the rings, the wall between them, all the supportive casts including drama, rivals, a mysterious cousin, 5 whole seasons of stories but I think I managed to mush it all down to one final product!

I love Fantastic Four, my favourite comics, my favourite team; never had a bad time reading Fantastic Four-issues. Okay, sometimes but less than others. And Reed is my favourite member. I find him super-interesting. He got this unmatched talent to just hyperfixate, obsess on problems and to deep-dive into anything that he comes across. He has this natural curiosity and genuine interest in everything and wants to learn as much as possible and I have kind of the same and he inspires me to lean in on that.

And I love how this fixation and obsessive behaviour can be interpreted as self-absorbed or cold but also having a foundation in care and shame and a need to take care of his family.

And that’s also an important aspect of him, the guilt of the first space-travel and destroying the four’s lives. So everything that he does that doesn’t revolve around his natural intellect and the responsibility of that, is around his family and giving them the best possible lives with their… unique situations.

And yeah, he can be cold, he can be stubborn and he has walls and not ashamed of who he is and what he can do and can without a doubt make the worst choices but he’s still deep down a good man and doing what he does for the safety of his family.

And I just love seeing this in media, this keyhole-view on things, this ultra-everness yet complete oblivion to his surroundings and lack of understanding of others and their emotions, not that he doesn’t care, he just didn’t think that far or understood as much in those particular topics.

And I can’t wait to see what Daddy Pascal will do with this character.

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

So, last year I drew characters on the spectrum in coordination with me telling stories how aspects of my diagnosis have affected me in periods of my life. But I just have so many meaningful stories so this year’s Autism Awareness Month, I will talk more about the characters themselves and the parts of their characteristics that I enjoy. So starting is Max Caulfield from Life is Strange, who I fell in love with from scene one. From her awkward posture to the need to put on music walking from the classroom to the bathroom, she was just a character I enjoyed in another light than literally any character I ever came across before. (Other than you, Newt. You will always be my nr. 1) As well as her interest in photography and classes matching my own interest in the subject and the history of art and so on, born from the need to capture the moment as my senses are usually just so overstimulated 24/7 leading to majority of memories either getting messy or just overwritten completely by newer memories, she really became a comfort character. So because I fell for Max so early on in the story, I felt it was fitting for her to represent the overstimulation of sound and the rest of the senses. I wanted the background to be crowded but you see glimpses of an empty hallway throughout the lyrics of the song that’s tuning it out, but the text ended up so small so it’s not as clear as I had hoped.

First day of work... wish me luck

Loved when I started working on this, I had a clear picture in my head and when I came around to the end, I had no clue where I was going

I guess I think about the afterlife a lot. And it just hit me that why do we assume it’s just a skeleton in a robe? Does it have to look human just to make sure we can perceive it?

Found an article about TDKR and how it uses colours and wanted to draw some Batman

But to be fair, I always want to draw some Batman

Have absolutely loved Spidey Blue, DD Yellow and Hulk Gray, hope I will love Captain America White as much whenever I come around to read that as well

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a little OC couple that me and my friend created when we played Human Fall Flat. As you do.

Two years today (I think) I have been drawing these two on a regular basis! Time sure flies by
