Sir John Herschel - Tumblr Posts

click for quality!

reblogs are fab, reposts aren't <3

I started sketching some Pulp Musicals characters around midnight last night and thought to myself, "hey, these look pretty damn good!" so I kept going until 3 am. Today I brought 'em into clip studio to play with them some more, and now I have these!! plus my silly doodles and dumb commentary + jokes. <3

and some versions w/o color! the traditional + digital sketching is a neat combination, I think.

"I wish people would stop shipping me with my female colleague. Like, yes we are best friends and soulmates, but like in a platonic way. Also, I'm pretty sure she's a lesbian."

I like to imagine the excitement and crazy in their eyes as they revealed their project, rivaled that of the Stratfords explaining Great Astronomical Discoveries to Benjamin.

Margaret Cavendish and John Herschel, my beloveds <3

I've drawn these two way less often than the twins, so they'll take some practice but I'm happy with these!! they were fun. :)

tumblr was dumb so I have to retype everything 🙃

part 2 left me very 😵‍💫 and I still have so many thoughts and feelings I don't even know how to articulate but here are some sketches I managed to do over the course of the day! Mostly featuring Kal because I love this terrible awful man and I am still learning how I wanna draw him. we're getting there, I think. (the dark angel sketch is something I'd like to make a proper illustration someday.) this page also features A Samuel™ and the astronomer who will continue to drive me insane. <3

and I have to shout out fallinginaforrest's awesome art that opened my mind and made me think "oh yeah they're probably a bit scruffier than they were in the beginning" and thus inspired me to give both Samuel and John a little more scruff than I usually do.

alrighty, here are the close-ups! as stated previously, I am so incredibly proud of how everyone turned out. I was also 100% playing fake it till you make it with the shading and whatnot, so it is probably not very accurate at all. but it looks cool! so that's enough for me, lmao.

This is the alternate universe where things turn out differently for Benjamin. Many thanks to AmethystUnarmed, jackalope_with_a_pen, SnarkyWallflower, oswalds_apotheosis, and sparrowfox for their contributions to this idea. I'm officially launching it. This started as a joke/wish for Benjamin to have at least one story where he gets to be happy, combined with the question of how the story would have turned out differently if Benjamin had gone with the Stratfords, and then stuffed with a bunch of silly headcanons and cute moments that I wanted to happen. I also tried to make the satellite fulfill my understanding of physics (you know, without all that gravity), so it’s a bit different than in canon, but I’m personally really proud of those scenes in ch 8 and especially ch 9.

The gang <3

S1 Pulp Musicals Gang my beloved

The idea of them experimenting with aircraft is so fun and cute to me. And I love all the colours and lighting in this.

So over the past two weeks I’ve absolutely fallen in love with @pulpmusicals so ofc I had to draw something!! Have a Rose and John for your troubles <3

Based off of this Leyendecker piece :)))

Someone stop me I have so many pulp drawing ideas

I love them!

Also, I'm so glad our ship names are catching on. @starlightsparrowfox came up with Paper Stars.
