I mean, I would have. …maybe?

More of my characters
Character designs. I’m learning to use at markers, and really enjoying them. I love this story so much, I can’t wait to tell it!
Felt like posting some art
I haven’t posted in a bit; here’s a little something from my sketchbook. Catniss inspired.
They paid $2.2 million; did they know it wasn’t Batman’s first appearance?
A copy of Batman #1 just sold for $2.2 million. That’s insane! Batman #1 was the first issue of Batman’s solo series, but the world’s greatest detective actually appeared for the first time in Detective Comics #27. To put the ridiculousness of this sale into perspective, the most expensive copy of Detective Comics #27 sold for only $1,075,000: less than half of what Batman #1 sold for. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Batman #1 is a valuable book. It contains the first appearance of Catwoman and the Joker and previously sold for $567,625. But if I’m going to pay $2.2 million, I’d rather spend it on Batman’s first appearance. Which leads me to wonder, did the purchaser know what he or she was buying? Did they know that Detective Comics #27 existed?
Finished the Xavier practice drawing
As a follow up… I finished Xavier. I’m not happy with the results, but it’s better than I was expecting it to be. #xmen #professorx #professorxavier #charlesxavier #x-men
🥳Happy New Year!!!🎇
The year 2000 is finally old enough to legally drink.
My Spy, spoiler alert.
If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s just Kindergarten Cop. Very funny, well acted, but you’ve seen it before. Would still recommend it for the enjoyment factor. Kristen Schaal kills it, and Dave Bautista is solid too.
Biggest barrier to completion
When a drawing is coming out well, I’m afraid to finish it because I don’t want to ruin it.
I either start at the drawing forever, taking forever to make the next “move”, or I’ll stop working on it and instead pick a new project to work in that I care less about. Then, if the new project starts coming out well, I’ll stop that one too.
Case in point, both of these just started out as jank practice drawing. The drawing of zorofessor X was original a sketch I did 7 years ago that I didn’t like. I decided to ink it for practice after I paused coloring this sketch of three of my Angels & Alchemy characters. 😒
Don’t Fight Your Demons
Apple Music. Spotify. A very appropriate album to have on repeat right now, given all of the political activity happening right now.
The newest album by Arrested Development. This group has been hugely instrumental to my development as a youth in ways that I don’t feel like getting into right now. It didn’t surprise me that they would release an album following the civil rights activity taking place across the nation this fall. If you are a fan or remember there first album (Tennessee, Mr. Wendle, People Everyday), then you’ll want to get this. It’s their best since then, imo.
For me, the stand-out tracks are #4 Becoming, #5 Young Americans, #8 Sunset in Ghana, #11 Pardon You For Disrupting, #12 Journey On, and #13 We’ll See. Although, lately I’ve been playing #14 Amazing and #16 Forsaken an awful lot.
