End of Month: August

As briefly mentioned in my previous post earlier today, I got a little busy this month, so my monthly End of Month update has run rather late!

I only have one image for August, but it was a complicated piece and something I’ve never tried before. I wanted to try my hand at making a fake comic book page. I’ve made several fake comic book covers in the past, so I wanted to see if I could do a full page to gauge my interest in creating comic book art.

Click on the image to see a larger version! It’s yet some more Babylon 5 fan art. It depicts scenes that quite possibly happened behind the scenes in the show.

 I had a lot of fun with it, but comics involve a lot of detail and characters, so this may not be something I do often (unless, of course, I win the lottery and can retire to self publish my own comic books!).

In other news
I’ve finished 20 of the 21 illustrations!

My counter should reflect that, but no matter how many times I refresh, it keeps showing the outdated one.

Once I finish the illustrations, I will need to figure out how to get them from my sketchbook to my computer. I don’t have a scanner, so I am going to try using my tripod, camera (the same one I use to take pictures of my sketches before I digitally color them), and a hell of a lot of daylight. I’d rather test that to see if it works before spending money on having a copy shop scan them for me or purchasing my own scanner.

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by!  This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew!  26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle!  High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years.  I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...

Cosplay Everyday!

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net! It’s cosplay everyday here in Club High Castle Cosplay is very near and dear to my heart. You should see the left half of my closet! Hanging there is an assortment of medieval dresses, Star Trek uniforms, and other odes to my favorite fandoms that I’ve collected over the years. The oldest thing I have in there is probably from the 90s.  23rd August – Cosplay It’s international Cosplay Day this weekend and we’re joining in the celebrations by chatting about all things cosplay! Have you cosplayed before? If yes, which character was your favourite? If no, which character would you like to cosplay as? You have no idea, Grasshopper 😉 You just opened an entire world about me. I was the QUEEN of cosplay in the early 2000s, and I loved every last second of it. As for my favorite character, that one is a tough one because every time I put on a costume, I’m having the time of my life, h...

Review: PKD’s Unfinished Sequel to TMITHC

I finally had a chance to read the two mysterious chapters of a scrubbed sequel to PKD’s The Man in the High Castle. I finished them a few days weeks ago, but their mark has yet to fade from the recesses of my mind. While I understand why he never finished it, I wish there was more.  The chapters were accompanied by an essay and a fictional blurb about Hawthorn Abendsen. Naziism and The High Castle (1964) is an eye opener into the mind of PKD. He asks pointed questions about human nature and discusses Nationalism— no one is immune from falling into it. The essay reminds me of a quote ages ago when Season 2 of High Castle had just aired: I think we have is to humanize Nazis. If you indulge the fantasy that they were not human, then nothing is learned. This is human beings that did this. It is only humans that are capable of inhumanity. Rufus Sewell on portraying his character, John Smith (2016).  Reading it (and the subsequent chapters) made certain aspects of the show much more clea...
