Good morrow, fair internet! It is I, that most procrastinatey of bastards, Derf. And I'm here to say!...
Shit, guys. I'm sorry I've put so little effort into this thing. There haven't been any impeding circumstances behind this neglect either, unless you count your run-of-the-mill lack of faith in ones own works. I'M A WALKING WORK IN PROGRESS, BACK OFF MAN!
Rest assured, in my own arty absence I've found other ways to kill your time while I struggle to convince myself any of those sketches from that pile in the corner are worth posting, and one of those ways is to point you toward more dedicated artists who definitely deserve some love.
That said, feast your looking balls on the wonder that is Nimona.
It's a lovely bit of magic created by the blood goddess, Noelle Stevenson(may not actually be a blood goddess but a man can dream, can't he?) that showcases an adorable art style and an almost offensively charismatic take on the subject of villainy.
The story initially seems to revolve around the halfhearted villain Ballister Blackheart, who as you can imagine must get through a fairly good cross section of nameless henchmen and women in his campaign against the absurdly golden blonde, Ambrosius Goldenloin. Until he pairs up with Nimona, that is.
This lovable little shape-shifting lump of nightmares acts as a catalyst to Ballisters career, which is tenuous at best, and from there the whole sweater just unravels into a delightful pile of warm, villainous reading. If you need anymore than that to send you on your way, there's no helping you. Check it out though. Seriously. That little shape-shifting creature is fantastic, as is Noelle Stevensons equally transforming art style that seems to maintain its trademark charm throughout.
Now I'm just going to...slink out the back. Pay no mind. I'm doing things. I swear I am. Maybe. Shut up.
Sincerely,
Derf McDerf
ps: are Blood Goddess' a real thing? They should be.
