Do you think I'm spooky?

Lisa - She/Her - X-Files • Gillian Anderson • David Duchovny
“dr. scully the pathologist, death’s best girl, who sees people long after they’re gone. she often is resigned to her own impending death, and grieves the inherent loss in others connecting to her; something that won’t last when you’re bound to leave them. […] she has so little left here. her sister is gone. i think she knows, on some level, what that chip in her neck means. and her worst nightmare is that it would all be for nothing, that she would be in it alone. that mulder wouldn’t be there with her.”

incrementum girlies get it

I really cannot reiterate enough how jarring re-watching the x files has been in regard to just how different everyone looks as compared to the modern tv shows I'm used to- Scully has eyebags and visible freckles, sometimes her hair is a bit fizzy- Mulder has chest hair and forehead wrinkles, characters will sometimes have red marks or pimples, they actually cast women in their 40s and 50s as side characters who look their age rather than having a severe amount of work and make-up and lighting done, frequently they're still framed in a desirable way, people's hair looks so much more normal and natural, not always perfectly primped- it's so... nice. comforting.

more studies! i picked the third one just because i needed a cancer arc screenshot for reasons, but actually it turned out to be an exercise in nuance, finding half tones while keeping the silhouettes. usually my art is very colorful, so it was interesting to work with muted tones for a change
