๐๐ง๐ปโAbsolute shipwreck, neck-deep in Tintin lore ๐(Sketches are mine, Hergรฉ's work is not) ๐All character ships are of consenting adults! ๐๐
I realize I forgot to post this here. I'd bought a new fineliner and some cheap kids' crayons and wanted to test them out - on Archie, naturally ๐โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
No, wait.. ๐ค*recollects* ..not fineliner, this was that thin brush I got, which is why the other drawings I did were messy cuz I got lazy with the brush.. anyway, it was ink and crayons ๐
@FredGyros So I'm not interested in discussing his age with you. Hergรฉ wanted his readers to decide. If you view him as a kid, we simply disagree and my art will be harrowing for you because I view him as an adult. A "babyfaced assassin", as Haddock so eloquently puts it ๐คญ.
So in closing:
@FredGyros I have numerous posts on this topic, but the main fact is that Tintin has no canon age. His age was intended to be up to the readers to decide for themselves, so anyone could see themselves as being of similar age to him. But the absolute majority of fans view him as an adult.
@lightfoot90 He's just doing morning gymnastics when Haddock walks over to tell him some exciting news. But with his feet in the air like that, I thought it'd be funny if Haddock had some intrusive thoughts to just.. pick him up like a freshly caught fish ๐
@BrewDaBeerd @ADHDForReal Tldr; thanks for reminding me that this is the right choice. And heck, I don't know you, but I'm hella proud of you. This is f-cking hard work!
I'll think of you next time it feels too heavy to bear, and know that someone else made it through, therefore I can make it as well
@BrewDaBeerd @ADHDForReal Gotta admit, it's oddly consoling to hear of someone else who's not just going through, but already has gone through, the exact same thing I am. It's been heartbreak after heartbreak losing family, "friends", a partner.. but the few people who stuck around? Omfg they're amazingโค๏ธ
