Honestly I Always Assumed This Was WHY He Cultivated A Pacifistic Approach To Life- Picture Little Tom

Honestly I always assumed this was WHY he cultivated a pacifistic approach to life- picture little Tom Bronson getting Traumatized bc he accidentally sent another kid to the hospital 😬

Tommy's pacifism is especially impressive when you remember the ease at which he could divorce someone's head from their body

For me the funniest thing to come out of the goncharov meme was not any of the fake scenes or the nyt articles about it or whatever but the fact that due to the fact that he'd found it funny when I told him about it I got my dad several books by ivan goncharov for christmas that year as a joke fully expecting him to not even touch them BUT to everyone's surprise he read every single one cover to cover and liked them so much that he read dostoevsky and then read tolstoy and then pushkin and then gogol and now barely reads anything that isn't nineteenth century russian literature and also has started watching academic talks about crime and punishment and will randomly bring up shit like the politics present in bulgakov's writing in at LEAST half of our conversations. all because of goncharov

lets do 5, 8, 9, 19 and 21

5. Anything you haven’t drawn yet but want to?

It's Halloween now so I definitely have a lot of Halloween pieces I want to do this year, but I haven't started yet thanks to my devotion to a big commission project at the moment.

8. What do you like most about your own work?

This might sound weirdly specific but I like small things in my character designs that I use when redrawing characters like my OC Dutch's hair line, Dawn's eye lashes, Don's big Dove eyes, ect.

9. What are you currently trying to improve?

I'm currently trying to change my art style a tad. Some of the changes I'm making are for the sake of consistency (My heads are sometimes too big, for example.) Other things I'm trying to do are bigger backgrounds on a more regular basis and variation in my lineart.

19. Favourite character(s) to draw?

Of my OCs? Definitely Chi

She has good shapes and a fun demeanor.

Of canon characters, Daredevil has so many fun poses and the way I've designed the points and edges on the Hawk's costumes is always satisfying to pull together (Like how I draw their elbows as the ends of their gloves.)

21. Weirdest thing you’ve ever drawn?

I was going to cheap out on you all and just put some weird rarepair or even that time I shipped Hank with one of my ocs for a bit, but I don't have an explanation for this one other than @ely-draws You are ALSO to blame

(Yes this is Jay Garrick and Alan Scott)

Awesome! Thanks again

Random question, but AO3 seems to have eaten your fic “Sons of the Moon” ? Link says it doesn’t exist and it’s not in your profile- has it been deleted?

I still have the files but I did nuke it. The way I view Tom and Grant has changed since then. I still want to do a long form fic about them but basically rn the idea is to take the many many ideas I had for Sons and breaking it into individual fics. But thank you for asking! Maybe in January I'll get back to these loveable idiots!

jade and obsidian are so funny. absolutely iconic
