Empire Ants

I die a little on the inside every time I have to deal with the lighting and colouring on this show, but I will say that I did this set in scene-specific batches so there's difference in aesthetic between each scene. I gave up on consistency.

This set contains icons of Drew Ray Tanner as Fangs Fogarty in Riverdale 2.20 - 2.22. Spoilers included, and without actually saying what they are in this intro text I'm gonna just say I'm making a grumpy cat face and have been for a few weeks, now. Oh, show. Why you do my faves so dirty? I mean, it could be worse, but still...


( And the snakes start to sing... )

Okay, first things first: Drew Ray Tanner is an absolute gem of an actor and Fangs Fogarty deserves so much better than [insert spoilers here] that I cannot even. #justiceforfangs

That said, here's a set from Riverdale 2.17 and 2.18 with some Instagram extras tossed in for funsies. Does not include the dressing room scene because De Nile is more than just a river in Egypt.


( It's a crime how little we get to see of him in the Carrie episode. )

This is, by far, the single most difficult set of icons I've ever made. The colouring, the lighting, the blurriness caused by Fangs being just a background asset so often... I weep. I throw things. I celebrate finally being done. Sadly, these icons didn't come out as nicely as I'd hoped, but there was a point where I just stopped being willing to keep micro-tweaking the adjustment layers.

Anyway, here you go. One set of Drew Ray Tanner in Riverdale S2, episodes 1-13. Includes a few with Sweet Pea (Jordan Connor) because where there is Fangs there is almost always Sweet Pea.


( I have no quotes to put here, and that is sad. Give Fangs more lines! )

In another blatant case of making more icons than necessary of someone I plan to use as a pb, I have produced this set of Drew Ray Tanner. All of these come from his Instagram account, but a majority of them are also passable as his character in Riverdale (in fact, a few are actually in costume as Fangs). There's also another set of him in Riverdale coming up eventually, but the lighting on that show makes me incredibly grouchy.


( I just wanna watch him do card tricks forever mkay. )

So, there was a Riverdale viewing party last night and much excitement was had over Fangs actually getting multiple lines in an episode. Which, of course, means that screenshots had to happen because honestly who the hell has patience when a favourite minor character starts to get a bigger part in the show?! If I can get my internet to cooperate with the other zip files, there will be more to come, but for now here's a set of Drew Ray Tanner as Fangs Fogarty in Riverdale 2.10: The Blackboard Jungle, during the scene with the Twizzler.
