Herbert West from Re-animator (Jeffrey Combs) for Hath

This one took it’s time, mostly to think which colors to use and the lighting, but I like it. Specially since I love these movies and it was a due fanart, lucky I’d this commission to do it, so pretty cool huh?!

Medieval computer

This is a volvelle, a medieval device that allowed you to calculate the phases of the moon and the latter’s position in relation to the sun. The dials, with their charming depictions of moon and sun, tell you what you need to know. What’s most remarkable about the device is not so much its crafty nature - it consists of complex layers of rotating disks - but that it is usually fitted inside a medieval book. Some are so bulky that they pierce the adjacent pages. What a surprise it must have been for the medieval reader who thumbed through such a book for the first time. Turning a page, he or she was confronted with an ingenious piece of machinery. A medieval computer.

“Amantissimo.”

“Most loving.”

[ Just like that. Out of context, sweet and random. ]

“There needs to be a code word or something that means “my brain is fighting me every step of the way today and I feel like I’m going to vibrate out of my skin, so I need you to forgive everything and go slowly and speak softly and lower your expectations.” And then we could all just be like, “I know I said we could go to a movie tonight but… tangerines.” And the other person would nod and squeeze your elbow or rub your head and you wouldn’t feel like a failure.”

NYT: I Know What You Think of Me:

The main truth about life that I’ll never get over is that to everyone else I’m just another person

“Anyone worth knowing is inevitably also going to be exasperating: making the same obvious mistakes over and over, dating imbeciles, endlessly relapsing into their dumb addictions and self-defeating habits, blind to their own hilarious flaws and blatant contradictions and fiercely devoted to whatever keeps them miserable. (And those few people about whom there is nothing ridiculous are by far the most preposterous of all.)“ Oof.

There’s something existentially alarming about finding out how little room we occupy, and how little allegiance we command, in other people’s heads.
