Hello aneh! I would like to ask to see more of your old art, if your comfortable with it of course. I really loved the reverse au! and your art was wonderful even back then. Thank you!

This one's my favorite old piece

Made it while in vacation with my parents, back when I didn't force myself to make content every other day ;;

i like to entertain myself by thinking about Bad Succession -> (alternate reality succession where it sucks). constant sepia-tinted flashbacks to traumatic childhood memories, with echoey abusive dad dialogue. post-car accident kendall is haunted by a hallucination of the waiter everywhere he goes. shiv has girlboss moments where she triumphs against misogynistic men and they learn not to underestimate women. once you get started you can’t stop.. the ideas are endless. they would try to make kendall into a rebellious bad boy type with personal demons. he would have a scene where he stares into a cracked mirror to represent his fractured psyche

i think about this video a lot

Wtf is going on

Hey y’all film crew member here. For those of you asking, they’re running like that to stay out of the shot.  For us crew we TRY OUR HARDEST TO NOT GET FILMED. IT’S IMPORTANT. It’s like playing the floor is lava but with a side of “you’re fired” if you lose too many times.  We’ll do anythING to not be seen. Duck around corners, dive under tables, jump in the bushes, assume fetal position on the floor, climb trees, get in the robot, hide in the trojan horse, become a vampire, you fuckin name it.  My fav game while watching a movie is “guess where the crew is hiding in this shot” it’s great fun you should try it.  The only problem in this particular shot is there is nowhere to hide except behind the camera which IS MOVING REALLY FAST.  Why they didn’t just leave the room I have no idea. it could be any number of reasons. Time, lack of proper equipment, need to supervise/direct, etc.  The real question is how the hell did Gaga not fucking lose it seeing a herd of film nerds scamper desperately in circles behind the camera

Love all the film crew people in the notes sharing their dumb hiding locations

When I read a special about Cornelia and Caleb, I noticed Orube as the keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar and Will as the guardian of earth. I found this idea curious, but their costumes… Girls just had their designs swapped, and it’s so boring. I realize why it happened: it makes no sense to create new outfits for a couple of pages + it’s easier to understand who is what kind of guardian.

But I really wanted to think further. I wanted to give each of the girls an individuality and preserve symbolic features. For example, like Cornelia, Will is wearing a long skirt, but the pattern on her stomach is very similar to her original costume. And Orube retains a headband and a belt that mimics a tail.

I really liked to draw them like this. It’s like it’s a parallel universe where completely different events take place. This opens up space for my imagination :3
