A #TheTitan #kinktober I can share here and it's 🥺

Kinktober illustration for day 14, "possessive". Dark inky illustration of Ansel, hunched over Ren on a bed and cradling her so tightly in his metal arms that she's barely visible underneath him.

We’ve lost Drew Struzan. A modern master, who by all accounts was a humble, sweet, loving, dedicated man. His work influenced culture itself, & we’ll be seeing that influence until the end of the modern world. What a legacy. What a body of work. May he rest well, & may his memory be a blessing.

#TheTitan

Crop of a larger image. Ansel is laying back, relaxing and looking up from a book at Ren, who is doing some not safe for work things to him off panel. Ansel's got very smug look on his face as he says "How's it going over there? Let me know when you get tired and I'll take over." Exclamation points and other things indicate that Ren is very much exerting herself over there!

Wrote an impromptu zine yesterday at Blue Cactus Press here in Tacoma while catching up with the owner Chris. I forgot how fun and cathartic the process can be.

fr though, I wanna see yall come up with fake Alan Moore reviews for your comics:

"By definition it was "a romp". Confused in its inspirations, obvious in its homages, and twee in its political commentary, THE TITAN is a tour de coarse of bombast, at once facile and delightfully human."

Lan ⛈️ @aquapunked.bsky.social · 5d

wow, alan moore read #TheTitan !!!

badly edited photo of an Alan Moore review of the book 'Elon Musk: American Oligarch', turning it into a fake review of The Titan that says: "Perfectly timed to coincide with the rapid unscheduled disassembly of the United States. Lan brings us his meticulous study of a mundane post-WW3 USA for the 21st century, but with 4 colors and no special effects. In The Titan, we have a forensic dissection of a 7 foot trans cyborg himbo being emotionally undone by an unshaven manic pixie with a very questionable childhood. Lan's focus and lucidity are a searchlight penetrating through the social media murk to illuminate a contemporary t4c sunshine/stormy pairing in the exquisite detail it deserves. An exceptional piece of work, right when we need it most." -Alan Moore

Promo image taken from the comic. Ren and Ansel sitting in the shade of a date plantation, playing cards behind a very large "keep out" sign that has an image of a hand holding a gun. The "t" in "out" has been turned into a crucifix.
