The Young Ones - S1E4- “Bomb”

And representing Scumbag, we have Mike, Prick, Vyvyan and Neil.

It is 2:30 am

It is June the twelfth!

For your post election needs.

I finally learned how to make GIFs, which is great because it allows me to eloquently illustrate my reaction to ads trying to convince me that Hot Pockets are gourmet food.

first post, rick sketch while i was rewatching a movie earlier today n testing out the new pens i got ^^

It's finished!!

please ignore (p)rick's melted face

so it's kinda messy. I am wayyy more used to doing digital art than watercolours, but I'm pretty happy with it. I think Vyvyan and Neil look great. Also love how the backgrounds turned out. they were just gonna be solid blocks of colour ig but then I was using a tissue on Vyvyan's bg bc there was like so much excess water and it made this cool effect. Accidentally painted Mike's face fully orange at one point but it's fineee i fixed it

oh my god they're the Heathers colours

photo's kinda shitty but I'm working on a thing of the main four from TYO as a christmas gift for my dad, who watched the show when it first aired and introduced me to it.

damnnn I haven't done watercolours in ages

Overanalysing a shot from Boring

Sooo at 16:42 in the episode Boring, while the gang are walking to the pub and Madness' House of Fun is playing, there's a nod to Abbey Road with a shot where they walk across a zebra crossing in single file. I'm. I. I just love the Beatles i love them so much i have to talk abt this i just. i don't know if the order was intentional but i can definitely see reasons why would they put them in that order.

So, on the cover of Abbey Road, the order goes George, Paul, Ringo, John and in the episode, the order is Neil, Rik, Mike, Vyvyan

first of all, Vyvyan and John- Both are arguably the most recognisable member of their group, have the best fashion sense (imo) and are very aggressive in their actions and sense of humour.

Mike and Ringo- both are the shortest and oldest member of their group.

Rik and Paul- I'd argue are the 2nd most recognisable members of their group. Liked to think they're the leader of their group. Both are vegetarians. I can't really think of that many similarities between them. other than those, they're quite different. Paul's definitely a lot nicer than Rik. Also little visual detail that I like was included, Rik's holding a cigarette, which Paul also was on the album cover.

Neil and George - Both showed interest in Hinduism and both played guitar. I think both are wearing flares? both tend to get ignored a lot. With Neil, it's more malicious but with George I think it's just that people tend to focus on John and Paul's music more.

Also at the start of Sick, they reference Twist and Shout which is v cool. The order is different in that episode, and I don't think there's a link to the corresponding Beatles' personalities in that other than maybe Paul and Neil.

edit: also!! didn't notice this at first but their arms are all in pretty similar places to the corresponding Beatles. v cool.
