My older brother (on the right) just sent me this photo of us, taken in Victoria Park, Leamington Spa in the early 70s. The way he’s dressed, it could be now, or any time over the last 50 years. The way I’m dressed, I was going to say no, but on second thoughts.

My hair shone always like a curly beacon of energy though, so there’s that.

So tired of blacking out every full moon when I really want to stay up and help the townsfolk hunt for the werewolf

@toychicken ah that’s great to know! I have 2 of the three spy books, but these were where it was at for me! Was there anything in particular that scared you from the Supernatural book? For me it was the toungueless woman in Glamis Castle 😬

@Iconfactory I do have two wishes: option to have a infinite canvas (I use Linea a lot for brainstorming/mind mapping) and vector brushes (so I can ditch Adobe) but I’m assuming those are two very big asks with a small use case 😉

I’ve changed the way I work on these. I still use Adobe Fresco to create the final vector version (it’s still the only tool with proper vector painting capabilities), but I use @Iconfactory Linea Sketch for the first phase. It’s _so_ much quicker to get basic ideas down and refine them. For example, changing opacity of any layer without having to select it first and open a dialog.

Ranging from minor noises and moving objects, to physical harm and even (in the worst cases) possession, investigators have identified seven stages of poltergeist escalation.

I’ve finally finished a new illustration for the Supernatural Detective’s Field Guide 😅

7 Stages of Poltergeist Escalation

Poltergeists are supernatural entities characterized by physical disturbances—escalating from loud noises and moving objects, to physical harm and even (in the worst cases) possession.
