Moments Spent Elsewhere

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

I want to feel this.

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS

The Swagger Edition

So, last week I had a little fun putting out a simple post with some gifs of Robert Carlyle standing in response to a sitting post I’d seen. People seemed to enjoy it too, so I thought maybe I’d try and make this a weekly thing or something, give everyone a fun little bit of RC on your dash Sunday evenings/Monday mornings to start the week.

Anyway, one aspect that really made the Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold character for me was the swagger. So many of Robert Carlyle’s characters just ooze confidence (and sex, let’s be real) in their walk alone. Always a credit to his acting skills that RC uses everything from his expressive eyes and facial expressions, hands, and even his walk to build a character that makes an impact.

There are so many examples, but I’m going with:

Ghost Wants Candy Corn

You can see each step in the creation of this design at the Creative Process Gallery.

Sometimes you want something that’s just out of reach - and then you move to reach it, and the object of your desires moves just to outside of your reach again! Like this Candy Corn with a mind of its own! All this little Ghost wants is to be happy and colorful too! Don’t give up on your dream, little Ghost! You’ll catch that Candy Corn some day!

I didn’t want to let another whole month go by without posting something new, so I decided to create something simple and minimal that couldn’t possibly become complicated enough to take more than 2 evenings to create. I’m glad that this idea came to mind, because I really like this cute little scene.

I’ve got another 3 or 4 designs in the works at the moment, but I’ve no idea how I’m going to finish them up so I can post them. That’s something I struggle with - having a design that’s just out of reach, but I don’t yet have the ideas on how I can to take it from where it’s at to a point of completion. Persistence is key, I suppose. If you don’t keep at it, it will never get to the “good enough to call done” point.
