Taking a storyboarding class this term, still hurting from losing a fight with the sidewalk the other day 😭.

“Come to me…”
Nosferatu was great! Robert Eggers 3 and 0, I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of his films. This one in particular had great Bloodborne vibes; the carriage scene was like the drive to Cainhurst Castle 👌. I kept waiting for Willem Dafoe to tell his student to fear the old blood.
Loved the supporting actors as well, from the deranged thrall cackling and scuttling about to the bizarrely jovial dude hamming it up at the Carpathian inn.
Also whoever did the makeup and styling for Orlock did a GREAT job, he looks gnarly and horrible 😁!
Turkey studies
Did you know turkeys are related to pheasants?? Now that I’ve done a few studies, I can totally see it. It’s just that their ability to fluff up makes them look totally different. It’s crazy how drastically they can change their silhouette!
Some of them get too used to people and go around attacking delivery workers, kids, hikers, and probably whoever else they want, to be honest.
Sea creature studies
Molluscs and arthropods. I was thinking about the head crab from The Thing while doing the last little guy 😊.
Animal studies
Hoofed animal studies from a sketch jam. Ungulates, equids, hoofed animals of various kinds! I find deer and other such animals really graceful and lovely and it was a pleasure to try and figure out some of their leggies.
Character Designs for Afternoon on the Peregrine
Some initial design sketches I did for Afternoon on the Peregrine, a last-minute entry to one of Tapas’s comic contests. Trying out some casual wear options for the main character, and ended up drawing some elderly faces instead lol.
Eye Study (MPD Psycho)
Eye studies! Years after I first read MPD Psycho, Amamiya Kazuhiko’s eyes still make a big impression on me — probably because he’s the protagonist, yet has eyes like a serial killer.
Since a lot of eyes in manga are heavily ornamented, I was interested in how simplified eyes could convey so much emotion and intrigue. No, perhaps it’s because they’re so simplified that their message can be conveyed so easily!
