If you came for the artwork, it's all here, and if you came for my webcomic, it's over here!
My name is Amy, I can’t sleep, and I am messing with AU’s and characters I just don’t draw enough.
Bosun, steward, engineer, bowhook, sternhook, cook. Said I’d delete the inks once I had them colored, aaaaand, I did that! I won’t be shading these since they are just palette tests, but I am already really… really liking drawing out this cast. Like, A LOT! I gotta get on the full ensemble pictures, soon.
“I wish you’d let me try something a bit more… mature with your look!”
“Honey, if this outfit gets any more mature, it’s a Playboy centerfold.”
I don’t really know what Addy is on about, I think that dress is pretty great. HELVETICA is appearing courtesy of the amazing Gabi, and also courtesy of her comic H&J! Do you like unique stylization, mystery-solving, satisfying construction of character relations, and things titled after type-fonts? Then you ARE IN LOVE WITH H&J and you maybe just don’t know it, yet!
It’s always a pleasure to draw up this woman. Keep up the wonderful work, Gabi, I love seeing new stuff from you!
Yes, Lottee, please take him and shape him up a bit, would you?
CAPTAIN LOTTEE ZOTTI is a part of Lily’s amazing comic Bad Reputation! I have been hooked since finding it, and YOU SHOULD BE, TOO! It has pirates and an amazing lady crew, and engaging dialogue - and it would be very difficult to not fall in love with the designs. Maybe even impossible.
Esteban is appearing courtesy of me, even if he was a huge pill about it. I hope the fact he is an unwilling participant doesn’t take away from the fact that I LOVE YOUR STUFF, LILY!
What exactly do you mean, Plans That I Made, when you say “you still have to cell shade them”? What do you mean by that? Do you mean “go relax for a while, maybe enjoy a snack”? That’s what I thought you meant. I’m glad we’re on the same page.
Now, at least, even if I don’t get time to shade them (I am not yet sure how busy my week is going to be), I can slap the proper text on these and be ready to post something on Valentine’s Day… eve. If that’s a thing. Is it? Oh, well. I guess I still have to add Penn’s tattoo, as well, but eeehhhhhh. Picture me flopping over in resignation, right there.
I am queuing this for maximum stealth since I haven’t been able to run the final colors by some people yet, but… we are working out where all the body markings go on the Vanished people and making sure their silhouettes work in ensemble. Left to right it goes… Harlowe, Ide, Eleanor, Penn, Logan, Campbell. I am borrowing Eleanor, Logan, and Campbell from chainSMA and kayzig, respectively!
After a couple weeks of only drawing people from about the chest up, I thought I should maybe relearn that my characters have entire bodies! I tested out this theory on a questionable pack of siblings.
Welp, now all that’s left is to add the cell shades and highlights, touch ‘em up, then mull forever over whether or not they are worth what I want to charge.
This one time I drew all the characters of my current casts as toddlers. But, well, then I made new characters, and started showing them on tumblr, and… they… weren’t on there…
I’m worried this will keep happening.
