The Little Idiot Sketchbook Pt. 1 - The Lamb and the Shepherd Dog

(I'm doing this in parts because oh is there so much stuff)

1. The opening scene of the Idiot. I drew this on first reread, but every time I read this scene I realize something that's just. Crazy levels of foreshadowing. I dream of crafting an opening sequence with this much sauce.

2. Rogozhin gets cute aggression part one

3. "I wish my good pal Rogozhin was here"

4. Exchanging crosses meaningfully. After you did everything with a man that you just did with the woman you want to marry. You know. Normal heterosexual stuff.

5. Literally that part from that one SpongeBob Episode. How come there is so much SpongeBob in Russian literature real talk. I mean Derek Drymon followed my Instagram at some point. Which is. Mind blowing tbh

6. Rogozhin's favorite hobby IS stalking. It's a bit of a problem.

7. A still from a short animatic I did where Myshkin tries to talk Rogozhin out of stabbing him and it goes about how you'd expect

8. (Recent Art I did today) "I'm going to show my best friend Rogozhin to EVERYONE in town"

Four Russian Lit Pieces I'm Happy With feat. One Previously Unpublished

1. Lord Have Mercy... Lizaveta Smerdyakova and her son, Pavel Smerdyakov, as two children sharing a similar fate represented by the guelder rose

2. The Desperate Dmitri, a play on the Desperate Man classic painting with Dmitri in Book 8 of the Brothers Karamazov

3. The Overbearing Hosts, where Mitya and Grusha lovingly smother their out of sorts brother/in law Alyosha

4. It's You! one interpretation of many of Rogozhin's attack on Myshkin in the stairway
