The Art and Doodles of Ben Vivas

BURN THE WITCH

All my portfolio projects are on hold since my computer fried itself. So I’ve been catching up on Anime and reading Manga.

I’ve been wanting to watch #BURNTHEWITCH since it was announced a few years back. I finally saw it this week and I wasn’t disappointed!

The Anglophile in me loved Reverse London and dragon hunting. I’m hoping for a British Dub since Noel and Ninny would sound great as Cockneys. I’m sad there’s only 3 episodes but the Animation is amazing.

I think Tite Kubo should keep the manga series as its own thing and not make it part of Bleach. The premise is too bloody good for that. I also think he should do more cultural research for better story ideas. London is such an old city it can provide so much the series.

So here’s Noel and Ninny on Fleet Street by the Temple Bar Memorial in Front London! I still have Procreate and good Anime inspires me to make art. 🇬🇧 🐉

“I hate that I bleed for you Uh, I long and I need for you But I love it when I taste you Nothing can replace you I wish I could erase you, you're everywhere I go But you're everywhere I long to be And all these other people that don't seem to understand I'm just a man they always ask what's wrong with me Man you're everything I crave You're the only thing I let in that would put me in the grave I'm a king, you're my Coretta But lately I been feeling like a slave for the nicotine.”

Wine cuz it’s a work day. Also, she’s bailing the bar early since she saw someone and doesn’t want the drama.

Behold Wanda Maximoff - The Scarlet Witch. (Soft spoilers maybe?) Wanda is a person who has to process her trauma and her grief throughout her stories in the MCU. If anything, WandaVision is a show where the entire premise is a representative of her psychology and her emotional pain.

"Why are you getting so upset? This is not about you."

"Yes it is. You're a human affront to all women and I'm a woman."

"Hey, I don't feel great about this but I don't hear anyone complaining."

A life study I did to time myself as to how long I take to paint something. This took me about 20 hours or so.
