I started this piece a good while ago with just the line drawing. The board was put aside and then moved about, getting a bit abused. I challenged myself to fix it and finish it. It’s finally done. Almost. 😂

YES Just read that one last month, I couldn’t put it down! Tons of great horror imagery and the sense of dread that builds over the book gets so so potent by the end.

I like the implication that Howl is just calmly showing us his freaky jaws like it's just another Monday!

Sort of kind of photo study as an excuse to make a backdrop for my weirdo goat creature

It craves the mineral

Love the texture, it really adds to the spooky and tense atmosphere!

Here's an image that requires a second look.

It looks like a creature with big dark eyes is peering at you: it's not. You're looking at a FROG'S BUTT (you pervert).

Let's meet the Cuyaba dwarf frog (Physalaemus nattereri). Maybe we should start with seeing the front of it?

(📷: George Grall)

Stolen from a NatGeo article: dark eyes on the rump of a frog look remarkably like big black eyes on a snake. The rest of the animal is mottled brown, almost wood-like in texture, and it's on a red sand bed with blades of grass visible.

This is barely a barely exaggerated summation of events in this Barbie movie

#Barbie #MagicofPegasus #comic #stewdle

Brietta's parents: "Happy Birthday, Brietta!" Her father toots a party horn
Brietta: Thank

Wenlock crashes through the window on his griffin
"WENLOCK TIME"

Brietta's mother: "NO."
Brietta: "Uuuuuuh noooo thaaaaanks"
Brietta's father: "Who even ARE you???"

Holds the frogge gently and not so gently

1st image: Pissed off rain frog being squished between fingers

2nd image: Rainfrog’s head is being squished by a thumb and forefinger. He looks annoyed as he says: “Yes, I am aware that my head’s the size of a grape. You don’t have to demonstrate.”

Sleepy rainfrog being held in hands to keep him warm, only his face and his little frog hands are sticking out

Rain frog is being held in a little hammock hanging from the rear view mirror of a car.

Atti: “You sure this will hold?”
Margie: “Yup!”
Atti: “Just don’t get into an accident, okay?”
Margie: “I drive like a granny, you know that!”

Currently in the process of updating/moving the old folio site, but here's some examples! Sounds like a fun project, I've been interested in young reader work, especially with B&W interior spots!

Mockup cover of a young reader book called The Floatie Thief. Half-underwater scene of a young girl confronting a sea serpent with stolen inner tubes

A spread of the song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" showing the young girl feeding and washing her pet hippo in the family garage

LOVE the motion in this and how you pick and choose some figures to not fully show, it adds even more depth and motion!

Atti’s not fond of theme parks even when he isn’t three berries tall, but he can make an exception for the Ferris wheel

#Atti #Margie #rainfrog #Hetherev #themepark #ferriswheel

Atti (rainfrog) and Margie are sitting in a Ferris wheel car, enjoying a nice view of the sunset over the theme park.

Atti’s slightly smiling while he sits on Margie’s shoulder with her hoodie drawstring wrapped around his arms, presumably as a makeshift seatbelt.

Margie: “Nice change of pace?”
Atti, pulled away from his thoughts: “Hm?”
Margie: “You probably don’t feel so small when everything else looks tiny, huh?”

Atti, smiling a little more obviously: “Yeah, actually.”

Closeup with Atti in the foreground and Margie’s much larger face in the background
Atti, playfully: “Although looking at you sort of breaks the illusion, sorry to say.”
Margie, smiling and grimacing: “Sorryyy”
Atti: “It’s not your fault!”

I know I posted this before but here’s one of my favourite scenes to have animated

I LOVED Bambi II as a kid, one of those movies where I look back at it and realize that a LOT of passion clearly went into it. One of the standout sequels to me for that reason alone, beautifully animated!

Alone on a Friday night? Not on Margie’s watch!

#atti #rainfrog #frog #margie #fridaynight #hetherev #movienight #popcorn

Atticus (rain frog form) is slumped on his tuna can bed inside his shoebox house

A light beam arcs across his back and he looks up, squinting at the intrusion

Margie is holding the shoebox lid in her hands and whispering:
“Heeeey”
Atti, groggily and offscreen: “Hm?”
Margie: “It’s Fridayyy…Wanna watch a movie?”

Atti, squinting up at her with his phone-turned-TV-screen playing a movie in the background: “I already am.”

Margie: “Yeah, alone. Just offering, if you wanna…”

Atti silently considers her offer

Margie is wrapped in a blanket and lying on her side, her head and hand propped up on a pillow. There’s a popcorn bag behind her head.

Atti is sitting comfortably on the pillow in front of her, snacking on some pieces of popcorn.

They both seemed relaxed and are enjoying watching a movie together
