“Snow is laughing at something Bunce has said. None of them notice me, so I let myself stare longer than I should. It only makes things worse. I pathetically long for him to smile at me like that.”
Forgive me, it’s not truly inked with traditional tools, but I wanted to post this for Inkathon today! ><
This moment comes in the beginning of Wayward Son when they’re all staying the night in the hotel after Penny visits Micah, and none of them are sure where to go from here.
Even though their relationship is fragile, it still shows Baz is willing to try, which I loved as a tribute to his character after he proved what a jerk he can be in the first book. The resistance is there, but they aren’t broken yet! :)
Sadly this year, I can’t make the whole thing because of work, my comic, and work for webcomics, but I’ll give it a shot!! What do you think? Have I still got it? Haven’t used my quill in forever!
I’m using lovely @vkelleyart ‘s prompt list, and thought I’d start off with Carry On as a companion series to hers for Wayward Son, by Rainbow Rowell!
Day 1 is DRAMATIC!!
“It’s unnecessarily grandiose to use ‘Open Sesame’ on the doors, but I do it anyway because I know everyone will be in the dining hall, and I may as well make an entrance.”
Hey all! I usually don’t time it this well, but I have stuff for WIP Wednesday! lol
Today I’m working on the“Fifth-Year Fantasies” page for my Ko-Fi where Baz remembers this as a very treacherous time in his life. Mainly when he couldn’t decide whether he wanted to kiss Simon or kill him. And which of those would be a worse idea. The angst is real here, imagine a no-win scenario where no matter which poison you pick, it’ll still kill you. I really feel for Baz here, so I want to do the lighting justice.
I’m playing with the colors on this one, because I have a very tricky, but specific mood I want to evoke. I penciled this as a panel where Baz is sitting in their room at Wattford at that time of evening where outside is vibrant and golden, but inside can be quite dark and dreary. Maybe when you’ve just been sitting there so long you forget to turn on the lights because it was sunny when you sat down.
The walls are a more sunset-like orange and brown tones, but Baz pops in the foreground with cooler tones of purple. Dunno if the posters on the wall are working, but I figured they’d be for his sports team or something :/
Also, a BIG thank you to everyone who bought me a coffee this month! You helped me make my book budget so I could get a new read for my birthday!! Thank you so much!!
Have page 2 of “Golden Destiny” as a birthday gift from me to you :) Pardon my messy speech bubbles, I usually clean them up once I go digital. I get the best product still with good old pencil and paper, though!
i wish we had seen the moment baz falls in love with simon bc thats so funny. hes like half way through bullying him when theyre 14 and its just “OH. OH FUCK. OH PLEASE NO. GODDAMNIT”
still thinking about this like hes in the middle of the chimera fight, simon saves his life from his own monster and baz is like
“OI YOU FUCKING BASTARD HOW FUCKING D A R E YOU MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU HOW FUCKING DARE YOU” and then just
My favorite thing in the Carry On fandom is the solidarity we have around Fem!Snowbaz
Thanks to @pipsqueakparker (i think they started it???? Idk??? Correct me???) Anyway, they got unwarranted hate for it and the revolution began! (I feel like at least)
late share for six sentence Sunday bc I was working on this and… felt guilty?? but apparently not enough to not post it - so thanks for the tag @palimpsessed
Now that awtwb is out and we actually do know that Baz ages because he doesn’t drink human blood, I think it’s safe to wish a proper happy birthday to the best jean-wearer out there. ✨
