“Ruthless” by illusionoftheworld

by David M Willis on June 8, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Posted In: Blog

If you were wondering why Joyce was filling in for Ruth in yesterday’s billie-and-ruth fanart post, well, here’s your answer!  Ruth was off  somewhere being sad and drunk.  “Ruthless” is by illusionoftheworld, and you can read her webcomic, Fractured Tea, on her DeviantArt as well.

Billie and Joyce by fasterthanstarlight

Okay, so this half-breaks this week’s fan art theme of Billie and Ruth, but I’d ran out of Billie and Ruth art!  (someone fix that)  So here’s an amazing Billie and Joyce by fasterthanstarlight, stolen from her Deviantart.  It’s actually the finished product of a sweet coloring tutorial she did!  I’d go check that out.

I am constantly reminded that other folks dress my characters way better than I do.

Let’s continue our Ruth/Billie fan art theme, why not.  Here’s something by Ryuusei924, in which Ruth explores cutlery.

It’s Billie and Ruth time in the comic, so have some Billie and Ruth art!  This one’s by Astrid Lydia Johannsen, and I stole it from her Tumblr!  She’s also got a comic, Threads from the Blue Rock Tapestry.

While stretch and squash has always been harder with CGI animation (especially in the 90's), leading to animation that's very stiff in SOME ways, check out how Quickstrike jerks forward a hair before jerking himself back. Skilled animators worked on Beast Wars and it shows, despite the limitations.

I really want y'all to take this in if you haven't seen BW. The amount of expression Mainframe could get out of some *incredibly* inhuman faces, mixed with body language, is astounding even today.

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)
A sketch of Dilbert sitting at his desk, looking worn out. “There used to be a light inside of me,” he thinks, “when did I let this place snuff it out?”
Dilbert, now with slightly longer hair, eyeliner, and earrings, is putting on a scarf. After wrapping it around her neck, it springs up like her tie did in the comics. She smiles, her mouth visible for the first time.

very into these inconvenient, extremely long and pointy shoes that spread across europe in the 14th century and made everyone so horny and effeminate that the church went full on moral panic mode and a bunch of kings made them illegal!!! also everyone got bunions
They were a controversial fashion and faced criticism from several quarters. In 1368, Charles V of France issued an edict banning their construction and use in Paris. An English poem from 1388 complained that men were unable to kneel in prayer because their toes were too long.[37] The c. 1440 morality play Castle of Perseverance includes the footwear in the

Sometimes I forget I have an original Sunstreaker! During Shortpacked! times I was gifted a giant pile of G1 from a fan, and this guy has trouble finding purchase in my memory. The tooling was lost/destroyed decades ago, so he's never been reissued.
