I Just Realised My Last Two Pictures From Inktober 2014 Didnt Post! Oh No! I Cant Have That, Itll Bother

I just realised my last two pictures from Inktober 2014 didn’t post! Oh no! I can’t have that, it’ll bother me forever.

Here’s Inktober day 30 - mapping pen

Featuring Ely’s long, disgusting toenails, long, disgusting fingernails and long, disgusting hair.

Inktober day 6 - mapping pen The best and most entertaining way to practice telekinesis is to throw your only friend in the air. It’s okay, he likes it too.

Cheap mapping pens are probably my most reliable inking tool. The only downside is I now have several and I struggle to remember which are the good ones and which are the effects-only broken ones.

Inktober 2015 - Day 8 : ink and water Sweetpea is having fun with the autumn leaves on his tree.

I wish I’d had time to do a better background, but this will do I suppose. Sweetpea himself looks pretty cute even with a lazy background.

The last of the non-fiction drawings from when I had computer troubles.

This was really common when I was in primary school - comparisons of clothing styles between puritans and catholic royalists. One thing I noticed though is that they tended to show upper-class royalists, and middle or lower-class puritans, so I drew a standard upper-class royalist pair (although they ended up looking way too much like the actual king and queen...) and tried to find information on what upper-class puritans would wear.

It turns out puritans were very much in favour of the social hierarchy, and upper-class puritans would have worn richer fabrics and embellishments like ribbons and lace edging to visually indicate their social standing. The open-fronted skirt was apparently a more conservative style at the time, because it required less of the more expensive outer fabric.

I forgot to photograph any of these before posting them, so I’m glad Sammy took pictures! Poppet thinks Nisse is a Tomtenisse and Lis is probably a Domovoi. Here in the south we have Lob-Lie-By-The-Fire, which is nowhere near as cute as Poppet, but just as helpful.

Just casually assume everyone is as obsessively well-informed about Gorillaz as we are. XD

Last summer I kept asking sarahfogg if Poppet (WTTMW?) and Nisse (Hilda series) and Lis (Seconds) were all the same kind of house fairy thing, so Poppet made me a chapbook explaining a bunch of different types of house fairy from all over Europe. It’s super cute, Poppet is the cutest. (the book is mini comic size, like A7?) (here in the midlands we have House Hobs - just like Poppet! :D)

The bottom photo is of a hand made notebook, with a quote from Bananaz …. I realised we filled last years music zine with Bananaz quotes but then never explained where they were actually from. X’D

Inktober 2015 - Day 1: ink and water Is Isaac an angel, or a ghost with delusions of grandeur? Maybe even he doesn’t know.

I managed not to goof up the first picture this year, but I’ll be posting them a day late as usual. Especially since my scanner recently became an expensive footstool, and actually getting the pictures online is a huge pain in the neck.
