Weve Bought A New House. And Our New Next Door Neighbours (two Delightful Gentlemen) Will Notstop Being

We’ve bought a new house. And our new next door neighbours (two delightful gentlemen) will not stop being nice. 

- bought us a seagull proof refuse bag (yes, they are actual things)

- loaned us garden tools when we didn’t have any

- invited us around for Friday night drinks so we could meet the other people on the lane

- one of them brought me a bunch of sweetpea flowers that he’d picked from his garden

- and tomorrow he’s coming to cut our hedge for us with his electric hedge trimmer thing idk, and all I have to do is hold the ladder.

Basically, I am UNSETTLED and am now having to enter into an arms race of niceness and I am already so behind oh god.

Long story short - I just baked a lemon drizzle cake, and it looks great but I can’t even eat it because MR AND MR NICE MUST RECEIVE AN OFFERING.

It’s barricade day and I just couldn’t help myself-

Finally ! I’m finally done !

Song is We all go the same, by Radical Face (big big thanks to bro @yahtomingan who sent me this with “do you have a fandom where people die ?” Why yes, I do. Thank you for enabling me !)

I’ve wanted to illustrate it for a long, long time because it just…. fits. But it was a huge project, and I staled, until I finally threw myself in it. I took some inspiration from Tardi’s comics about WWI for the color schemes. 

It’s the first time I’ve ever done something so… ambitious .I’ve never drawn a comic (or comic-like thingie) before, so I was very unsure. Surprisingly, I learnt a lot about building the pages, flow, faces, focuses, color theory and surely a ton of other things on the Bad Webcomics Wiki. 

I know that there are probably a lot of errors, anatomy, weapons, etc…. But eh. I also mixed inspirations a little, between the book, the 2012 movie, etc…. following what fit the best. 

I’m still super happy with the result ! (but it was so painful to do)

(I finally replaced my handwriting with typed text because I just suck at lettering)

Pass the happy! When you get this, reply with 5 things that make you happy and send this to the last 10 people in your notifications! I'm passing it on to you <3

Thank you for asking! 🖤

1. People who get exited about the smallest things

2. When boys do that little smile thing with their teeth

3. People who laugh loudly in public settings

4. Hearing my boyfriend's sleepy voice

5. Telling someone something that you're exited about and them matching your level of excitement

you didn’t choose to become a leftist. your parents let you watch Newsies and Les Mis at a formative age and you turned out the way you did
