Petition for Nathan Fillion to be the new Doctor and for Joss Whedon to take over as showrunner and for Jewel Staite and Alan Tudyk to be companions and for the Tardis to be replaced by a spaceship and know what let’s just bring back Firefly.
What time is it? It’s vintage-Firefly-movie-poster drawing time!
So I finished it!! Just in time for Calgary expo. Oh man, I don’t think I’ve spent a longer amount of time on a single drawing/painting EVER. I’m pretty well satisfied with how it turned out though! So many bitty details, you have to see it printed. It’s pretty great.
Anyway, if you want to see a couple progress pics of this drawing, you can check it out here, or on my twitter (starting about here and going backwards). I didn’t document the progress as well this time, probably because it took me like 3 weeks to finish it? I’ll try better next time!

![“Joss Whedon, changed [everything] with Firefly. In one fell swoop in 2002, he took the concept of the human utopia in science fiction, tossed it aside, and revolutionized the view of the human future on television. Whedon did not want a future without struggle against environment, nor did he want humanity to be without social classes and the allure of the almighty dollar. Thus, he created Firefly as an antithetical foil to Star Trek-a universe where power was still in one’s wallet, where corruption and deception retained their strongholds in the highest levels of society, and a man would (and actually could) still bleed to achieve his dreams. Science fiction was forever changed by this, and it is why Firefly should be one of the names listed among the greatest science fiction series of all time.” - Chris Colgan, The Death of Utopia: Firefly and the Turn to Human Realism in TV Sci-Fi](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdb6nf0sGz1qa5ff2o1_500.png)

Kickass Ladies of Television - Zoe Washburne
“Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later.”
The light on their faces: Mal is cragged, often shadowed, but strong, sad-eyed and kind. Kaylee is round, warm, and open. Sexuality and honesty. River is planed, underlit, eyes hooded. She’s a question. Simon works in angles as well, coolly handsome and hard to connect with - but ultimately he’s a romantic. Jayne doesn’t give a good goddamn how he’s lit. Zoe glows. She cannot help it. Wash is light, playful - often amongst his screens or slightly blown out by the sun of high atmosphere… Inara’s light is complex, like Mal’s. Hiding and beckoning.
