LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN THE ATTIC!!!

I like to call this “the year 2003, summed up in a single t-shirt.”

Just so you know, I have a personal blog for stupid selfies and askmemes and text posts and stuff, which I am trying to use more so I can keep my main blog for mostly my art and inspiration, and attempt to maintain some measure of professionalism now that I’m, you know, looking for a job or something idk…

ANYWAY HERE IS THE URL IF YOU WANT IT!!!

Emily Forster illustrates the week 1 challenge.

Song: Houdini’s Box by Jill Sobule.

I got all excited watching Michelle work on stuff for her upcoming kickstarter for Ava’s Demon, so I had to sit down and finally draw my self-insert character!!! :3 We talked about it ages ago and decided I’d be an alien of a race remarkably similar in appearance to my character Jake, and I’d totally be Gil’s childhood bff.

In the interest of trying new things, I attempted to imitate Michelle’s style as closely as I could… and while it was fun and educational, I’ll be happy to go back to making things scribbly and messy forever.

Kristin Kemper illustrates the week 1 challenge.

Song: Rio by Adventure.

Kristin: I discovered this song last fall when work on my thesis film was really getting into gear, and I got in the habit of putting it on loop to get pumped up whenever I’d sit down to animate, especially late at night when everyone else was asleep. I have no idea what this song is actually about, and I don’t want to, but this picture is about how this song makes me feel when I listen to it while I draw.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE ABHORSEN CHRONICLES:

• BADASS FEMALE PROTAGONISTS: from Sabriel the prefect of an all-girls school to Lirael a shy librarian both of whom turn into duty-bound zombie killing soldier priests who rescue princes and battle necromancers and fight against what is effectively a trapped god, you can keep your Hermione’s and Katniss Everdeen’s thanx (and can we just talk about how the girls in the school TOTALLY JUMP INTO HELP THE SOLDIERS AGAINST KERRIGOR DESPITE KNOWING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE??)
• INCREDIBLE WORLD BUILDING: set in two neighbouring kingdoms - one resembling 1930’s britain the other a medieval fantasy realm that’s fallen into anarchy  plagued by Death NOT TO MENTION the world-weary soldiers manning the wall who are sick of your necromantic bullshit
• TALKING ANIMAL COMPANIONS: not as cheesy as you think, since one is a sarcastic cat spirit who is scary as fuck when his true form is revealed and the other a wizened grandmotherly-like dog who rips out undead throats
• COOL MAGIC: though it’s complicated it isn’t once confusing and you can’t beat dual sword-and-bell wielding, bells that can land you into death modeled after the Egyptian afterlife
• GREAT CHARACTERS AND DEVELOPMENT: all the characters are forced to carry a duty and some succeed whilst others don’t but that’s okay because being born into a society doesn’t necessarily mean you belong there
• GOOD ROMANCE: it’s subtle and forged out of friendship and trust and doesn’t define any of the characters or control any of the events in the story
• NEW BOOKS COMING SOON: including Clariel which is a prequel based on Chlorr of the Mask WHO WAS AN ABHORSEN WHO TURNED EVIL!! like how awesome does that sound give me all the downward spirals for female necromancers AND there’s apparently going to be a sequel to the series too!!
• POSSIBLE FILM IN THE MAKING: which means if you wanna get on that fandom first get on it now
• IT’S JUST REALLY GREAT?? despite it being marketed as a YA book it’s still riveting and mature enough for older audiences (I think I might appreciate it more now that I’m older tbh) just UNF

YEAH
