Lackadaisy - Blog Posts

My part of an art trade with @annlytical 's Lackaoc, Ash Mayfield walking along with the one and only Rocky Rickaby 😌

✨Benjamin Footlight✨

Folklore

I know Rocky maybe already knows Celtic myths, due to his mythological references in the pilot/comic, but I decided to be self-indulgent with Ash sharing her favorite ones

Still a WIP, but proud and decided to post it before I try an experimental mix of Water color and alcohol markers-

The fae/creatures shown are:

-The Dobhar-chú, or King Otter

-The Muckie

-An Irish wolfhound (whose design is somewhat based off those in Song of the Sea)

-A Selkie

-A Crescent Moon with the Ailm symbol

Messy traditional art of Ash as I work on references of my DnD characters for Art Fight:

The two outfit references for the third drawing as well. I simply combined pieces from each suit and added her southern bow tie, while I kept the dress the same but simplistic.

This took me about all month, though it was sporadic bursts of work and then radio silence, but still.

incase the character card didn’t come in well:

Born: September 15th, 1901.

St. Louis, Missouri.

Sylvia, the devoted nurse turned Smuggler after the wealthy Knight family disowned her and her career went south, is a cool, collected and graceful woman, she has a past as clouded in torment and adversity as the cigar smoke that clings to the ceiling of her Boss’s office, despite this, her confidence is unwavering, and her determination to see an order or operation to a successful end, with just as much desire to insure the well being of her coworkers, is infinite, no matter how….annoying some of them may be….

She worked her way up the ladder and managed to get the attention of the Marigold, and being the opportunist she is, she knew there was no other way up, but through a established and powerful outfit, and now she applies the same meticulous techniques and enigmatic approach as a Marigold Operative as she had in her life as a smuggler, her strategic mind and attention to fine details leading Asa Sweet to pair her up with Mordecai Heller,-Though, the feminine touch and endless reminders of how bad smoking is, is a bonus no one asked for- leading to a successful partnership, even if she wasn’t fond of the idea at first….

I’ll be posting her character card too, which has all this information on it also.

I‘ve been thinking about her none stop honestly, and I want to make a much more detailed sheet one day, but this will have to do, especially since I will have her on ArtFight this year💕

Hey there!

YUP,

after the embarrassingly LONG time of two months and 19 days after the opening of this silly Tumblr blog and the introduction of Margo’s cute character on the Lackafandom scene, I FINALLY finished her character sheet for all of you sweet folk to witness my delusional fantasies of blood-streaked glamour and romance!

Why did this take me so much time? Simple. As usual, I can’t use Ibis Paint X, and draw digitally with my smol fingers on my equally smol and silly phone.

As such an inept as I am, the background of Marjorie’s illustration is in fact NOT product of my dubious artistic skills: I downloaded it from a free stock of ‘aesthetic garden background, wallpapers and illustration’ I found on Trailsandfreedom.com .

No, I swear I am not being paid to advertise them or anything, I merely feel the urge to leave credits with my pesky moral code nagging at my conscience.

Here is the original picture, on which I then dared to add some filters to get the dull coloring I wanted.

Also, here is the original pencil sketch of Margo’s, this time proudly produced by myself only:

She’s supposed to be sporting some fancy Victorian-gothic style dress, hat and parasol to recall of Mordecai’s own elegant fashion sense. I didn’t add any gloves because at the beginning I wanted her to, like, sting herself with the rose to draw blood and symbolise the assassination business and all that jazz.

And, nada, that’s the end of my interminable poem of thought process! I hope this gave some proper insight on Margo’s otherwise mysterious character, and it it managed to entice your curiosity about her, feel free to nag me in my asks!

Aisling’s finalized Character sheet!

that took me way to long to make as someone with an inconsistent art style-

Happy Fathers Day!

Trying to get back into digital art and decided to try to practice lighting

Happy Pride!: Featuring Aisling

Aromantic/Asexual (with what little attraction she experiences being mspec) and Agender!

More practice drawings of her under the cut:

A Practice page for Ash, that contains her spot positions, a human design, and a Lackadog design.

A very messy sketch of younger Ash with her two little brothers

And Ash/Rocky piece cause they’re literally an unconventional Sun/Moon dynamic- ((Ignore how Ash’s eye colors are swapped in the last image,,,))

((Also, all traditional due to my pencil for my tablet decided to stop working-))

FINALLY! AFTER 40 HOURS AND THREE POSE CHANGES:

Aisling’s Bio Pic!

My silly little cat who has emotional issues and philophobia🥰

Mobile has made it a little blurry, so hopefully if you click on it it’ll become clearer-

The illustration was based off of this Saturday Evening Post by Coles Phillips.

I spent way more time than I’d like to admit simply going through an archive and looking at his art, even after I found the one I would reference.

And I did swap the mirror for a bouquet of flowers that I spent way too long looking into the meanings off and also changed the back to a record.

Her dress in the illustration is almost a 1:1 of this one from the Met Museum archive, called Robe de Style made by Jeanne Lanvin.

Of course, it’s fancier than what Aisling would be able to afford, and I added a few flap layers that you can’t see in the illustration. But I’m a sucker for black clothes and I felt it contrasted nicely against her mostly white fur.

There’s not much to say about the portrait outfit. You can’t see most of it, but I’ve decided on a simple beige button up, with a green country bow tie, and long pleated navy skirt. You can kind of see it fully in the small photograph at the bottom.

I also, of course, had to add a small UTDM Easter Egg in it as well. Marius and Jack are the two faceless cats within the photograph underneath the illustration. It’s based off of the Save/Load screen where in the report it mentions how your PC is circled.

First actual art post- woo!

Messy traditional art as I try to finalize Aisling’s design-

[[Mobile camera quality sucks :’) ]]

Jack: I ain’t drinkin’ nothin’ called ‘Bloody Mary’

Aisling: Yeah. You first, Marius

Marius: What? Zat monstrosity?! No-

Máire: A knight on a white horse, quite romantic. A creative spirit, riding to you, or you to him.

Maria/Malwina: Oh! The knight of cups! How romantic ♡

Aisling: *Was thinking of the crazy, eccentric violinist*

Only the calico with short hair is my OC, who for now is names Aisling Mayfield, the others belong to an amazing interactive Lackadaisy fanfic called Under the Devil’s Moon created by @libras-interactives and the UTDM OCs designs I used the designs from @acesandocs

Remember my Lackadaisy Oc, Rita? Well, I finally got around to making her husband, Felix!

Felix is a railroad worker who secretly smuggles alcohol on trains to different speakeasies.

After creating Rita, I decided to create her own little poster and info page. The info page is currently being worked on but for now, here is her poster! :)

(Sorry for the poor resolution, it messed up during uploading)

Now that my art block is slowly disappearing, I decided to watch an animated pilot that never fails to impress me: Lackadaisy!

Afterwards, I decided to make a little Lackadaisy Oc. Meet Rita Summers, a struggling waitress who works a night job as a flapper dancer. She hopes to explore the world one day with her husband, Felix.

(I might change up her design a bit in the future!)

Rocky Rickaby; wearing Will Wood’s suit from his “Love, Me Normally” music video! I drew this because I felt like Rocky would also be the kinda guy to keep rats in his pocket
