Do you have a Twitter or Instagram for your art? :)

I do have an instagram! You can find me at @murrmernator. I do not have a twitter because it is a hellscape

Experimenting a bit between zoom calls. Feedback encouraged/appreciated! I am trying to move away from my pattern of everyone I draw having the same facial proportions as me but it is an uphill battle...

anatomy practice / stress relief / vintage swimsuits / the beach episode we were denied???? / backgrounds don’t exist, as far as I’m concerned

On second thought, maybe Ed acquired tattoos on his travels??

Compelling reasons why Ed should have tattoos:

  1. It’s hot
  2. He loves gaudy things
  3. He might be into the concept of body modification as a result of conscious, active choice instead of life-threatening injury

Also Ed’s hair remains and will remain the exception to my enthusiasm for period-appropriate clothing, because honestly who would he be with short hair

Did this commission for @artemis.x.wally on instagram and thought it’d be cool to compare it to the very first spitfire drawing I ever posted, back in November 2012 (I’m so old!!! I’ve been here too long omg). Interesting to see what things have changed and what things are similar. 

Also I didn’t have the old drawing in mind when doing the new one - I think the pose has just been lurking in the back of my mind, biding its time, waiting to rise again...

So obviously I have lost my mind.

Some points of interest:

  • I don’t really understand how underwear worked at this time?? Not a lot of references/confusing information. So this might be a little ~avant garde~ for the era but Ed is all about progress, right?
  • Previously I’ve drawn him in Chelsea boots but upon closer inspection it turns out he’s canonically wearing harness boots (most of the time??? anyway???) so I’ve adjusted accordingly
  • Went for suspenders instead of a belt because suspenders were a little more common at the time and also... I love them
  • The coat is a duster coat, which came into fashion after motorcars became a thing, to protect people’s clothes from the dust they kicked up. Typically they were light in colour, but Ed... is not known for his refined taste
  • Generally, he’s sort of dressed to the nines in an attempt to inspire some respect, although the effect in reality is pretty humourous because he just looks like a child running around in a grown gentleman’s clothes
  • People of the era would have always worn hats when out and about, but I feel like Ed probably finds hats annoying (or at least, I find them annoying to draw and his hair is so nice and fun on it’s own)
  • There’s no symbol on the back of the duster, but if you look closely you’ll see it pinned to the lapel of his suit
  • His clothes (especially his pants) fit a little looser than a gentleman of the time would have worn them, but our boy needs room to move and traditional fabrics are not known for their stretch
