I actually enjoyed drawing this one, and it shows. Not one drip either! Except for a little scrape of the pen on the corner of the page, which doesn’t bother me. I’m mostly happy with this guy… at least right now. He’s the least stupid thing I’ve drawn so far this month.
Black widow
Goddess of her kind
Delicately explores her space
Eight times over.
Obsidian body
Sharp temper
Sharper touch
Meddle in her schemes
And risk her wrath.
When she is still
She is a pebble.
When she moves
She phases.
Gravity is her plaything.
A small jewel
Lethal.
Tread lightly ye mortals
Pray you do not draw her focus
Seeing the arachnid queen is an honor
You may survive her beauty
Only if she favors you.
I don’t know what’s going on here. I got so serious about the last one I had to draw something dumb this time. What do you suppose this warlock is up to?
Dad said he’s proud of me.
I well up inside at the words.
What the hell is he proud of me for.
And why should it matter?
I’m fucking thirty.
Part of me thinks, oh Dad, I don’t need that anymore.
Part of me thinks, what have I done that’s any good?
Part of me thinks, I really am something, aren’t I.
And part of me deep down
A very early, primal part
Starts jumping up and down and clapping her hands.
I have no success in work
I have no success in art
I have no success in home making
I have no successful mate
I have no success in health or beauty.
I do moderately well in most things.
Proud?
Of me?
Just… generally?
How does a parent think?
Why does he feel proud?
Maybe he’s just happy I turned out okay
Maybe that’s all a good parent really hopes for.
And he was a good parent.
He still is.
A really wonderful parent.
I’m proud of him.
A little tribute to The Addams Family. I penciled first and everything, this is as good as I get.
I have trouble with my new ink. It’s quick drying and glossy and waterproof and I can erase over it, but it gums up my pen, and it’s so DRIPPY. I only dripped on this drawing twice, which led to some awkward corrections but is a great improvement. My previous drawing was a total drippy mess, so I’m just happy I’m getting a better handle on the stuff.
