gonna put the progress of this thing in its own post

so we start with references

image

then i figure out my layouts and start sketchin, putting the text down first after initial drafting

image

then i gotta fully flesh out all of the illustrative bits with pencil sketching. we got the holy gritty with his holy hockey staff and flyers pendant, little bits of orange dashed onto there, designing the flyers logo wherever i can

image

then we get black inking on there, bit more orange as well. normally i get kinda heartbroken when I smear a bit of ink here or there by mistake, even patch to fix mistakes sometimes.

But I'm gonna be real. The small blots match too well with the overall energy of the piece

image

the next image will be the fully completed piece!

Star Wars AU where the council time travels back to when Obi-Wan was still an itty-bitty baby initiate. Including, you know. Council Member Obi-Wan Kenobi. So they’re all in their younger bodies and talking with the current non-time traveling members of the council, and they’re like “hold on, we got one more coming in”

And in walks in like. Nine year old Initiate Obi-Wan, all chubby-cheeked with fluffy bright red hair, and giant blue eyes.

Just. Their faces, okay?

Now keep in mind I want the council to always be Up To Shenanigans. I’m talking like 2015 Avengers tower found family era fics okay, they’re one big family and Obi-Wan is now super officially The Baby and literally nothing he does will ever stop that again. And despite everything, every single council member is, at heart, incredibly petty in that special Jedi family way and are so ready to not be dealing with a war Right This Very Minute.

What I keep picturing is Baby-Wan wiggling his way into a chair, situating himself Very Regally, then clasping his hands in classic Negotiator style, then speaking up with the Most Serious Of Tiny Baby Voices as the main spokesperson on the Council Of Petty Time Travelers

I just want to see people not in the know

I want Jedi of all ages witnessing Jedi masters, councilmen and women, long lived and wisest of the Jedi, coming to the crèche to visit tiny lil Baby-Wan about his opinions on current events and how they should handle this treaty and also when are you free I want to test my soresu

I just think it’d be funny

Don’t mind me…I’m just thinking about how spiders are naturally talented and skilled weavers and they know how to weave their webs and even make functional, stylish homes and nests and whatnot.

So maybe that’s why Spider-Man knows how to sew his suits. He inherited that trait from the spider and just instinctively know how to weave his suits. Maybe. That’s my explanation for it.

Aunt May: You're buying an awful lot of yarn lately. Are you making something?

Peter, who after getting bit by a spider has felt an inescapable need to knit and now his room is covered head to toe in yarn: Nope. It's just new hobby.

yknow what. i complained a lot about how it was unrealistic to suddenly know how to put together stretch knits and a perfectly fitting, absolute banger of a suit, but this is an explanation i’ll gladly accept

Someone find me a radioactive spider so I can open an etsy store

A couple job interview hacks from someone who has to give a job interview every single goddamn day: (disclaimer: this goes for my process and my company’s process, other companies and industries might be different)

1. There are a few things I check and a few questions I ask literally just to figure out if you can play the game and get along with others in a professional setting. Part of the job I interview for is talking to people, and we work in teams. So if you can’t “play the game” a tiny bit, it’s not going to work. Playing the game includes:

- Why do you want to work here? (just prove that you googled the company, tell me like 1 thing about us, I just want to know that you did SOME kind of preparation for this interview)

- Are you wearing professional clothing? I don’t need a suit just don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants.

- Are you able to speak respectfully and without dropping f-bombs all the time? Not because I’m offended but because I don’t want to be reported to HR if you wind up on my team.

- Can you follow simple directions in an interview?

2. Stop telling me protected information. I don’t want to know about what drugs or medications you’re on, I don’t want to know about you being sick, I don’t want to know if you’re planning to have children soon, I don’t want to know anything about your personal life other than “can you do the job?” 

3. When we ask, “What questions do you have for me?” here are my favorites I’ve heard:
- What does the day-to-day look like for a member of your team?

- If one of your team members was not performing up to his usual standard, what steps would you take to correct that?

- What can I start doing now to accelerate my learning process in this job?

- What are some reservations you have about me as a candidate? (be ready for this emotionally….it will REALLY help you in the future, and I’ve had people save themselves from a No after this, but can be hard to hear)

- In your opinion, what skills and qualities does the ideal candidate for this job possess?

- What advice would you give to a new hire in this position/someone who wanted to break into this industry, as someone who has worked here for a while?


Those are just my tips off-the-cuff. I work in sales in marketing/SAAS, so these can be very different depending on the industry, but I wish the people I interview could read this before they show up.

More interview tips:

Most interviews start with some variant of, “so, tell me about yourself.”

This is NOT A PERSONAL QUESTION. They’re asking about your JOB history/interests/skills.

Tell them how you got interested in this line of work. Tell them a rough outline of your job history, the kind that doesn’t show up on the resume.

They know you worked at Company A for three years and Company B for two years after that. They don’t know you got hired in the Local Sales department and shifted to Regional Account Management; they don’t know you loved the Thursday morning everyone-check-in meetings; they don’t know you switched jobs because Company A was talking about moving your department to another state, and Company B worked with that one client you really love. And so on.

…you know this question is coming, so plan it out in advance. Make yourself a list of details you want to cover. (Keep it short.) (Never talk about what you hated at previous jobs. Never. For job interviews, it’s all about what you enjoyed.)

Other questions to ask, when they say “do you have any questions for me/us?”

  • What’s considered a really rough week? What happens during the busy season?
  • What new project/process is your team just starting to put in place? OR: What changes is your team likely to have in the next couple of years?
  • How much does your team collaborate with other teams? What does that look like?
  • [for remote or hybrid jobs] How does remote login work? What software do you use for that?

The point here isn’t to look for “right” answers. It’s almost not to pay attention to the answers at all. It’s to find out if you’d like to work at the company, and what that might look like. How they answer is at least as important as what details are involved.

The answer to “what does hell-week look like” is less important than how they describe it. That’s what’ll tell you if the job is a good fit. (And if it’s just “look I just want a fucking job; don’t give me that ‘good fit’ nonsense,” then at least you have a question that makes it sound like you care about THIS job in particular.)
