Chirpbook Progress (Long Post 😅)

Hello patrons! 👋👋👋 I wave to you from that mysterious, lonely, atemporal land that exists under all rocks. This is where I have been living since November and while I was toiling away at the CHIRPBOOK. Which is done, mostly. I'm doing my best to proofread this evening so that we can get the book sent off to the printer before the 23rd or 24th.

This is the casing for the softcover version of the Chirpbook, complete with Bitty's quote on chirping vs. flirting.

Below you'll find a bunch of in-progress images from when I was working on the book!! Also!! A RANDOM SCRIPT FIC....CHAT FIC....COMMENT FIC that came to me after realizing that Hops could easily be a certified e-sports instructor.

On your right is Bully Drawing Wolverine and Bitty demanding to take a picture of his child's art. (Bitty: I'M GONNA PUT THIS ON THE FRIDGE) On your left...excuse me while I regress into script fic for a second but: It's a picture of Hops teaching Bitty how to play super smash brothers, a game in which Hops is probably regionally ranked. I think he's like, beating Bitty without touching the controller, what a nerd???

....i should draw Holster and/or  Ransom returning to challenge Hops and Hops being all chipper and happy and says sure? Both of you guys against me?

Holster: --both
Ransom: DUDE YOU'RE NOT THAT GOOD...YOU CAN'T BE
nursey: i don't go here? but he's pretty good
chowder: he's ranked!
jack: esports

Holster and Ransom proceed to lose 20 times in a row. Hops teaches Jack how to play Fifa so that Jack can kick Tater's ass. 

Bitty: wow so Hops is your...video game? Tutor??
Jack: Fifa Instructor. he sends me exercises
Jack: I have to beat Tater

Hops, walking home from class: (phone rings)

Hops: Hello?
???: hi, is this hop? hopper?
Hops: Uh
???: Hi, B gave me your number
???: Can you tutor me in fifa?
Hops:
Hops: Is this Alexei Mashkov????
Tater: Hi, it's Alexei.

later in the Haus

Nursey: how much are you charging them per session?
Hops: I dunno, fifty bucks?
Dex: NO.  YOU'RE DOING $500 AN HOUR.
Dex: THEY'RE RICH TAKE THEIR MONEY
Nursey: maybe he wants to have fun??
Chowder: no he's right take their money hops

Shitty: hey lards lets drop by the haus

(arriving at the haus)

Jack and Tater: playing fifa while hops coaches them
Bitty: making a pie
Ransom and Holster: watching attentively
Lardo: does anyone here actually live here anymore
Shitty: already naked and sitting between jack and Tater

Shitty cannot believe that Bully's flow is so luscious and beautiful. It actually pains him. He loves Bully. His true son.....And I'm pretty sure Shitty doesn't even like, say hello to Bully the first time they meet. He just like....crawls into his arms and Bully's like "okay i knew you were weird"

And finished colored version of the Louis picture below!

In applying to Samwell, what do you think you'll bring to our campus? I hope to bring my love of music and add to the already diverse international student population at samwell. AND I PLAN TO DROP THE BEAT.

More work on the section illustrations for the Chirpbook:

Your contact list, but it's all app icons and emojis.

And finally, last but not least, a picture from Jack's camera roll. Gotta get a picture of Bittle while grabbing a coffee.

Jack: (in class) uh, this is me and Bittle getting coffee. He gets really cold and didn't want to be in the picture with coffee? He felt like I was making fun of him. I wasn't.

I'm doing final edits on the Chirpbook this week. And then I'm done working for the year! Can't wait to share more ART and RANDOM COMMENT!FIC in 2020! 👍
