DO IT NOW OR YOU’LL REGRET YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
What started as a very simple height chart for my own interest (and possible future reference?) it became this— whatever this is.
Something I realized while drawing this: When Percival is trying to keep himself poised, he can be very difficult to… read.
Bad pun aside, he is normally very animated— wild poses and hand gestures— without those there’s nothing to discern what the man is thinking. That may be why RGB and Hero are looking at him so oddly. Or perhaps it could be because he has a book for a head, but since one of them is a man with TV for a head, it really shouldn’t be all that odd.
RGB and Hero belong to Modmad. I love those two.
Ahh, Percival is so elegant, I really like his characterization! (nothing wrong with puns, they make the world go round :^) )
Good good good good

I’m actually quite glad someone made me bring up this part of Arthur’s character, because it goes a long way to explaining why one of his first interactions with Mesi is such a complete car crash.
Also for those who are surprised, he’s not exactly the first silent comedian to get tangled up in WWI
Hit J to skip it’s very TL:DR
So I’ve had people asking about the SKIP (feature) thing, and while I’m sure you’re all tired of me restating that I come up with the characters and then they tell me what the story is that really is what happens to me, and in this case Arthur and Mesi came with a full feature film attached. The SKIP short you know was an abbreviation of the main aspects of it; inter-filmic travel and them being adorable.
What you may not know (or, at least, I can’t remember if I made a post about it), is that this crazy fun-times feature film in my head gives me enormous anxiety. Because I handed the entire plot to someone that I didn’t know.
Allow me to explain first that VFS was wonderful, is wonderful, and I love it and regret nothing about attending the course. What happened was something unusual, and only really a fault of my not asking for confirmation and for doing too much work. That stated our character design lessons were great and my teacher was and is a super great guy, like wow what a guy so cool. When we got an assignment to draw three characters from a feature I went at it full tilt. I wound up not only designing three characters, but a whole spectrum of supporting cast and a rough script outline. Start to finish, the big finale, the critical points of character development, the whole thing. I handed it in… and only got the character design sheet of the main three back.
I was, naturally, a little bit upset about it as the drawings had all been originals and I had no copies, but when I asked my teacher he was as surprised as I was that I’d only got the one sheet back. As it turns out the assignments were not being marked by the same guy who was giving us the lessons; a little unusual but not a fault necessarily. Two points of feedback are better than one and all that. My problem was, and is, that I didn’t know this person. I have had trust problems with teachers before, and to this day I don’t know if this mysterious other simply threw away the extra work, or kept it. If it was the former I would be overjoyed. The thing that has made me wake up in a cold sweat at four in the morning once a week for the past three years is the prospective of the latter. I live in perpetual fear of waking up to find a trailer for a corrupted version of my own film staring back at me on the internet. Paranoid, yes, but there it is. I can’t lie about it, I am constantly anxious about it, and even if I am busy enough to forget about it most of the time it bubbles back to the surface time and time again.
I am, as I hope you might know to be true by now, really quite critical of my own work, so I hope you understand what it means for me to say that I really believe that the SKIP feature is a good film. It is a good story. If this unknown person (whose name I have long forgotten and who I am almost afraid to seek out), thought the same of it and acted immediately they could quite well have me over a barrel, as I only finished the short film a good ten months or so after submitting that assignment. I know this is probably a fruitless and embarrassing confession of how truly unraveled my general state of mind is and that I am being overly suspicious and egoistic, but a story writer’s brain is always asking ‘what if?’ and mine is likely doomed to keep asking that question about this until I make this film, or someone else beats me to it.
Anyway sorry for the text splurge I think I just really needed to get that off my chest.

Anonymous asked: the muppets and sesame street seem to mean a lot to you, can I ask if there's any particular reason?
I was badly depressed in the third year of university and I didn’t know it for a very long time
they helped me remember what I wanted to be, which helped me realize that I wasn’t what I used to be
which helped me to become what I am
and I am so happy that I am who I am
