Mannnn, these things took forever! Well, specifically, the flats took forever because it’s that tedious time where you are still figuring out their swatches. And they aren’t finalized in design OR colors ‘cause I still gotta run them by the co-creators (1 and 2), BUT. Hey. I haven’t posted art in a while, so why not!

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.

VANISHED progress blog!

Hey guys! Have you been following any of my stuff on this strange new thing called Vanished? It’s the comic that I want to produce once I complete The Muse Mentor. You know, it has the girl in the ear-flap hat?

Well, it has a blog, now, that you can click in the title! This way if you WANNA read on what I’m up to and all the thoughts I am murking through, you have it, aaaaand… if not… you don’t need to worry about it any more! I will still be posting occasional artwork that pertains to it here, on my main blog, but all of the text stuff will be happening over there, instead.

I hope to see you there! I’d love your thoughts as the project progresses.

Mullet Of Sadness: sephiramy: It’s been a while since I wrote something that I may want...

despicableplankton:

If you’re looking for sympathetic realism, it’s important that it not be judgmental to whatever side is having the Suicidal Thinky Times. I may not know the right way to handle this sort…

I just wanted to put your worries at ease, to a degree, I suppose? The main character is actually the one having these feelings, and I want her portrayed as someone who is goin’ through some specific problems in her life… plus, you know, someone who has depression, which is a whole different beast. But she is mainly smart, and deeply thoughtful, and can be very funny when she wants to be - she’s opinionated, and if you get her on a topic that she is interested in, she can ramble forever and call up a ton of facts and trivia. If it makes sense to say, I want to portray her as a person separate of her condition, because depression does not define someone - it’s something that you live with, but it is definitely not a personality trait. I don’t want her to be sympathetic purely because of her condition, I want her to be sympathetic because she is a normal person with a malady that is too-often treated as something that people can flutter away with some Hallmark sentiment. “Hey, chin up, sport!” “Happiness is what you make it!” “Everyone feels that way, sometimes.” And it’s like, no, no, NO. WRONG WORDS for WRONG ISSUE!

I am starting to consider making an actual blog to put my thoughts down for Vanished, because GEEZ THERE ARE A LOT OF THOUGHTS and I don’t wanna be spammin’ up my main blog with all these disjointed words, haha, BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK and wanted to say something, since I think what you are saying is very valid. I definitely don’t want to fall into that trap, where I try to brush the severity under the rug and make it out like one day it’s all just gonna be, as you said, puppies and rainbows.

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!

The left face isn’t 100% what I was wanting, but that 3/4 view is about close to perfect.

I did up these messy-as-hell pencil busts today while sitting around, BECAUSE I want to get quicker with pencils… and I also want a good excuse for digital warm-ups the rest of the week.

THAT MEANS if you’d like to ask Harlowe, Captain Brewer, Roddy, or Lorna (or any of my other characters I suppose - these four would just be the ones that would help me out the most for practice’s sake) so I can utilize them for sketch answer warm-ups, I would really appreciate it! My ask box is right here.

THANK YOU, in advance, if anyone drops an ask! I know there’s a chance I will turn up empty-handed, but it is always worth a try.
