I would have a serious caption for this because I love Fitzjames but the entire time I was painting this, all I could think of was a line from Cabin Pressure: “Look, I keep telling you, I didn’t ask for extra. It’s just the standard amount of gold braid they put on a captain’s hat these days!”
anyway here’s crozier
Sherlock Holmes doodles from work today, because I was listening to an audiobook of some of the stories today and was inspired.
#does watson actually call his face aesthetic
aw jeeze, @seriesfive, good eye- that is, in fact, a typo. I was transcribing the quote from the audiobook rather than a print source, it was indistinctly pronounced, and I apparently didn’t question it. (This post is five years old now, so I… I assume that’s how that happened, anyway). It definitely should be “ascetic.”
A very quick Illya, who remains my favorite spy of all time
I’ve started a patreon where I am creating humorous and/or informative comics about outdoorsmanship- and about how my dog has no patience whatsoever for botany, birdwatching, or animal identification.
Support me on patreon to get early access to comics, patron-exclusive art, and a variety of other rewards. Also, for those of you following the progress of my big ‘how to write survival situations’ resource document, that will be available to patrons a month before the general public!
So guess what’s finally getting started! This project was meant to launch publicly a month ago, but I’ve gotten there eventually, despite June being a bit of a nightmare. Essentially, this patreon is going to cover the majority of my non-fandom art, of which I will be producing more! New original content, which you, depending on your support level, will get a say in!
It’ll be just like going hiking with me- all of the misadventures and excited identification of plants and animals, with none of the sweat and sunburns.
Captain Bennet of the Aerial Corps, Colonel Fitzwilliam of the Army, and the longwing dragon Wollstonecraft from @amarguerite‘s delightful Pride & Prejudice/Temeraire crossover fic A Monstrous Regiment. (Lizzy is out of uniform and Fitz’s crush has resurfaced, oh dear.)
I hope y’all enjoy the most forceful declaration of friendship in the history of the Ethuveraz. (I’m bad at hand-lettering but I keep doing it anyway.)
VOTE FOR INDEPENDENCYYYYYYYY
…so I finished this painting of my fave dead guy, John Adams, in all his 1776 musical glory. I love doing musical theater illustrations that incorporate handlettered lyrics, I need to do them more often.
More art of a minor character from an obscure novel! Everyone please. please. read this book.
Ambassador and Osmerrem Gormened, all dressed up and being good hosts.
