What remains after four years and all those notes and drafts. Ready to be handed in. #phdlife #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

@Clairehkld @suekmoorhen @fishy_79 Yeah the quotes were ok - but the special skills? Those were *tough* :D

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

It started out as a joke, turned into a fun little project and many drafts, and chats, and jokes, and fretting over details later here they are: @fishy_79 and my contribution to #StrikeTour26 - our #StrikeTradingCards.

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

@TheLiteraryNerd @fishy_79 It definitely was - give or take 5months? And then cranking it all out in about two weeks :D

Re-imagining #CormoranStrike as a Point-and-Click Adventure (and trying my hand at pixelart).

(Kind of want this as a game now.)

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

@hannih2024 @TheSEFilesPod Mostly because the colours turned out way darker than intended and with the white background…. 🤷‍♀️

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

"#CormoranStrike had the high, bulging forehead, broad nose and thick brows of a young Beethoven who had taken to boxing […]. His thick curly hair, springy as carpet, had ensured that his many youthful nicknames had included ‘Pubehead’."

pre-Cuckoo's Calling Strike.

@CloudsAndTea1 @jk_rowling Right there with you – it get's easier but daaaamn it was a tough book.

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

Extremely normal Zoom calls schedule since #TheHallmarkedMan came out.

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

Colour and light study inspired by this quote: "Strike descended the stairs, and had placed his hands on her upper arms and pulled her towards him […]."

(Yeah, no, totally alright after reading #TheHallmarkedMan – not haunted by it. Such a good and such a tough book.)

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

@kenzjones93 Now. Just ... now. :D

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

In absolutely patient anticipation of #TheHallmarkedMan and due to an endlessly long train ride - two new, extremely rough Strike and Robin sketches. (I’m sure I’ll get a consistent style down at some point…) #CormoranStrike #Fanart

Started drawing this fanart while having a pint at The Flying Horse.
Finished it today (neither with a pint, nor in London, bit of a letdown).
(Heavily inspired by bearded!Strike and all those visits to various pubs in the #CormoranStrike novels.)

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

@galwaygirl0629 Especially if it’s eyeing you like this 😁

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

Ticking the swan off the #StrikeTour25 bingo card even before the tour started.

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

The romantic subplots in the Strike novels a nutshell.

(See, I'm still using all the video skills I taught myself in 2020 and promptly forgot.)

What could be more fitting on March, 29th than #CormoranStrike (tired for good reasons) and #RobinEllacott (in The Green Dress, definitely going to remember that day)? #fanart

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

@9Discordia9 @jk_rowling I use Procreate (the app) and draw on a tablet. It's a lot less sophisticated than it seems :D

[Dr. ResearchRaptor @ResearchRaptors]

...and with too much time on my hands I have drawn more #CormoranStrike fanart.
Again.
(Heavily inspired by this quote: "Six minutes later, in a clean shirt, smelling of toothpaste and deodorant but still unshaven, Strike entered the outer office […].")

Amazing Strike fan art done by Antares, who kindly allowed me to share! I think the one with the coat is my favorite. 🤩🤩
