Playing Time

May 19, 2019 LittleFears29 Comments

Aha, those that follow me on social media may have noticed a change this weekend. I have been busy, yo! I’ve doodled up a new avatar for myself. It’s a self-portrait of sorts. Yes, I have small eyes, look generally confused and have a fabulous moustache.

I’ve also changed the header banners on all of my social platforms to Spider lurking behind a rocky outcrop. It’s a bit more ‘me’ than a vanilla ‘Little Fears’ written on a plain white background. I never liked that banner. I was just too lazy to change it.

I’ll be trying a more comic-format this week for the Fears. I’ve tried this before. It’s never quite worked. I got a pile of blank Strathmore ATC’s, and I’d like to do something interesting with them. So this week I’ll be applying my macro doodles to micro cards and giving them the typical Fears tales you all know. Just in an even shorter form.

If you enjoy this week’s panels, please do let me know. If you hate them and want wordier stories back, also let me know. Finally, if you simply want to declare your love of fuzzy llamas with moustaches, please do let me know!

A13

“At least I can take my mask off,” she grinned.

Article 13 hangs high in the sky over the Little Fears. Most photos I use are from Unsplash or photo packs from Creative Market. So the original photographs are replicated everywhere on the internet. If social networks use upload filters, man, that will that become a big fear.

Might be a good idea if I change the way I create daily images now instead of waiting to A13 to come into effect. I have some pictures I’ve already made still to use. But I’ll start sliding in some local and London photos along with stand-alone images.

Links for those that haven’t heard of Article 13.

Advertising thing, the original Masks drawing is available on a trading card sized-doodle. £6 with free global delivery. It ain’t much but I get asked for original Fears all the time and I tend to draw on a microscopic scale. Linky: littlefears.etsy.com

Tool Drop

“I do,” laughed Spectre. “I saw it all.”

“What happened?” asked Sprite.

“Well,” started Spectre, “as Snake chased you out of the building, a tradesman dropped a tool off the roof which whacked her on the head.”

“Oh that makes sense,” pondered Sprite. “I mean, one moment she was right behind me, then the next, BOSCH!”

Crowbar

“They were dark days for smart birds,” remarked Clouds.

“What’s that?” asked a passing Clouds.

“Just remembering what it was like before crowbars were invented,” remarked Clouds.

“Most crows could only drink from home,” smirked Clouds.

Hair Dressed

“I think bangs would look good,” remarked Steph as her scissors danced around Becky’s hair.

“Watch it!” gasped Becky as the scissors nicked her ear.

A rumble came from the basement. “Sorry,” sighed Steph. “They always get rowdy when they can smell blood.”

Shout out to the missus today for lending me a vampire illustration for this story. Once again, I was faffing about for a horror image and everybody loved her last painting, so hey, she’s back again this week. You can check her art out and say hello to her on Twatter at @DonnaMStrachan and you can nobble her art prints from Society6 and you can buy her a cuppa on Ko-fi.

Global Meet

“Was that Desmond?” asked Lucy.

“Yeah,” replied Ant. “Didn’t think I’d see him again after he stole me tiny antique globe and left the country.”

“Aha,” chuckled Lucy. “He should have known it’s a small world.”

Oven Baked

“Mate,” said Ptera, “you look peeved!”

“I’m furious,” grumbled Yuffie. “Just left a restaurant where we ordered oven baked giant-duck.”

“Didn’t it taste very nice?” asked Ptera.

“It was alright,” sighed Yuffie, “but the bill was huge.”

I’ve mentioned before that I make far more content than I need. Doodles, stories and new characters. I create at least twice as much as I will use and discard the stuff I won’t use. I’ve got a couple of folders for stuff that I might use someday but not yet.

In a week-long display of disorganisation, I’m convinced I’ve used the last five pictures before, but I’ll be darned if I can remember when and where. Better planning in future required, I think!

3.33 am

Story by Anony Mole

The all-night theatre felt empty. Yet, behind the curtains lurked he who had witnessed every performance, heard every catcall, every boo. The applause. No Guy Fawkes, but still, a spectre bent on teasing emotions from the viewers. Fewer these days. And so the cravings grew, a drought having starved him. So much so that, at 3:33 am, he slipped forth, bared his talons and dug his way into the bowels of the young woman, her mate screaming at the sight. The mineral taste would do, for now.

Thanks to Anony Mole of anonymole.com for the, quite frankly, gruesome and visceral tale. I know some of you are eating your breakfast while reading this, and will absolutely love it. How’s that rhubarb on porridge looking, huh? Cheers, Anony!

Be the odd one out

The most terrifying thing about this tee is not the strange trend of Peter using motivational slogans, but that he’s used a font!

A bit of a cheat. The text was tiny and in my scribbled font, would be unreadable on any women with a cleavage about a B cup. So I resorted to using a nice font on the PC for it. I think it still looks on-trend for the Fears.

Be the odd one out is now available on my Threadless store. littlefears.threadless.com

Laundry Room

“Kraken, you looked wrecked,” observed Black.

“Mate I tell ya,” sighed Kraken. “I spent the whole night arguing with the missus about laundry.”

“Oh aye?” pondered Black. “How’d that work out?”

“At 2 am,” grumbled Kraken, “I folded.”
