Here's Ivy's dream:

Sorry it's in low quality.

Something I Noticed In The Lackadaisy pilot

Someone a couple of years ago pointed out on here that Rocky collects death flags like ants at a picnic, and that he had a lot of drowning and being washed away by a river and river symbolism in general and let me tell you, when I saw that opening

And the first thing we see is Rocky over a FLOWING river, I got literal chills and his poem he recited while walking along the tracks (yeah freaking suspended train tracks over a giant river) made it so eerie and a little haunting I LOVE IT!! But I was also like “uuuummmm”

But the being washed away by a river symbolism shows up in the pilot too!

And I am just like “UUUUMMMMMMM!!!!”

Something I also noticed in the comics, during Ivy’s symbolic dream, (I can’t find the art) dream Ivy comes across Rocky and Calvin/Freckle getting booze out of a fake grave, Rocky is inside the grave clamoring over the booze and Freckle is just outside it with a shovel in his hand. Since it’s a symbolic dream to me that symbolizes that this dream is a warning, that Rocky is already in his grave and Freckle is gonna be right behind him if he isn’t careful because he is digging his own grave by fallowing Rocky, the grave digging symbolism for freckle makes an appearance as well

Now he is not already in his grave like Rocky was, he is just digging it and Ivy has Freckles position that he did in Ivy’s dream. Their fate is vary up in the air but who knows

Freckle and Ivy actually seem already pretty close knit and always together, but I can tell he hasn’t known Ivy long, not just because of the comics. Watching the pilot you know that Rocky and freckle share a few…quirks

Rocky appears to either not care or is not self aware enough to hide this from people but freckle definitely try’s to keep it under wraps, the contrast with showing Ivy these quirks is note worthy. Like how Rocky starts to let his freak off the leash by laughing manically with no explanation before running off to commit several crimes

And Ivy’s literal response was to nonchalantly ask “oh, is it playtime now?”

Like if you tear through the door, laughing maniacally, because you’re thinking about all the cunt your about to serve, giving no explanation. And your friend doesn’t respond with “oh, is it time to pop off?” Are you really even friends?

Ivy is used to Rocky but not Freckle, poor guy even try’s to explain what he is feeling when he goes trigger happy

But once he makes direct eye contact with her he chickens out. He isn’t used to talking about this with people but is trusting Ivy at a rapid rate, just not quite there yet. And I get why that is, she seems like the type of person that even if she doesn’t understand you, you can be yourself around her

"A long time ago, when mom was chasing red death.."

Little Rocky and his mom... wanted to sketch a piece of what we know of Rocky's backstory :").

Here's an other drawing of Sophie Rickaby.

Well at first it started as an artstyle study of Tracy Butler's sketch, but then humanized her real quick.

She reminds me of Julie Andrews in her role as Mary Poppins in the movie from the 60s. Warm, kind, motherly, and a big dust of musical tendencies🎶

Serafine art I commissioned from my mutual!

I recently got sick with covid and haven't been able to draw serafine for a while plus I've been lacking the motivation to so I'm really sorry for the sudden disappearance. But I do hope to come back soon with new drawings!

Anywho bc I've lacked my motivation to draw serafine I commissioned an amazing mutual of mine on Instagram to draw serafine for me! Her user on Instagram is @Retroberries_ definitely check her out ♥️

Also I need to take the time to just appreciate serafines existence cus I love her....Tracy if you see this I'm forever grateful of your amazing characters 🤧

I commissioned a mutual of mine on Instagram once again! Ofc it's of the queen herself serafine, I wish to see fanart of the queen herself from my favorites artists so I commissioned my mutual! 🤧🤧

anyway I rlly love it definitely recommend checking the artist out!

Artist: @gracestophat on Instagram!

Also apologizes for my sudden disappearance, I've been struggling pretty bad to keep up with drawing serafine since I lack the motivation lately and my mental health hasn't been the best 😪

I started working on this when I watched the Lackadaisy pilot a few days ago, and since then, I have read fifteen years’ worth of Lackadaisy comics these past few nights. I am… running behind in class.

also, I would appreciate any comments that anyone has on this background, constructive or not, I have really got to practice them.

I wanna kiss his cute little face so baaaaad, but doing a little drawing of him was the next best thing.

This was just a quick doodle I was gonna do before bed, until an hour went by and it was colored and shaded. That’s me with my signature, autism-issued headphones and flip-flops

also! I just got volume 1 today! I’ve been flipping through it happily : )

Rocky won a bet and his prize was a sorely-needed pick-me-up. He wanted to commemorate the happy moment. Look at that little smile.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a grumpy cat-bartender, I'd have two nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

what does Mordecai do when someone is crying?

does mordecai stare at them or tell them to shut up or criticize them or leave them or all of these?

It really would depend on the specific situation and who was doing the crying, but you could count on it being deeply awkward.

Fillin' a page full of mordecais 😸

This is about 1/3 of the canvas, still got lots of space to go. I'm trying to find a style in between the comic and the pilot, so hopefully, I can make him look more consistent ☺️

I decided to make Sylvia an art standee like the official Lacka-merch!

I chose baby blue eyes for the flower, they seem to suit her💕

In honor of pride month (and new hyperfixation), I decided to draw my fav:]

Whelp, looks like Gideon received some questions! Hold onto your sock suspenders while we help him answer them! Not got a question in yet? Just drop an ask now! Inbox is still open!

She feels right at home.

i'm back

I don’t read lackadaisy but this probably happened right?
