I Think He Just Wants To Be Grumpy

I think he just wants to be grumpy

A summary

A drawing commission of myself done by @raphcrow!

Isn’t it just wonderful! I’m SO happy with it.

I discovered raphcrow from their work on the Redwall playing cards from many seasons ago, and was absolutely enamored by their work. I reached out to them for a commission, and lucky me, they were happy to work with me!

Some of my favorite parts include that amazing depiction of my necklace! If you don’t know, I cross-stitched and strung a necklace of the center of the great tapestry: Martin the Warrior holding his sword. The hair is also amazing (I’ve cut it since then, so this style is out of date, but it’s one of my favorite styles that I’ve ever had), as well as the glasses perched on my nose, my eyebrows, my blue eyes, my bum lip, the sleeves on the habit, and for some reason I really like the nails. All around incredible.

The drawing is so detailed and the details are all so perfect. Its really beautiful. Look how great I look!

Thank you, raphcrow!

Obviously

(I had to search my blog to make sure I hadn’t mentioned this before because it just seems so obvious:)

Okay but you cannot tell me Basil Stag Hare is cishet

This is good because not only is it gorgeous and symbolic and perfect, but it’s reminiscent of that drawing of Martin’s ghost hovering over Redwall at the end of the graphic novel. Great work.

Bella: You scored a 25/27 on your mental health questionnaire.

Martin: So that means I'm good at mental health, right?

Abbess Germaine, entering the room: Hello, I'm your crisis counselor

Martin: Ah, beans.
