pinned post update

hi 👋 you can call me kennedy mclune (it's more or less a pen name). i'm a comic artist/writer with an overarching project about colourful people that's apparently so interesting to me, i've been working on it for practically 9 years straight (haha oh no!!)

what you need to know is that there's 4 storylines (collectively "the magnicanon"), but most of them are "dormant" except for one, which i call "Luna Sloth". the main character is a weird dejected gay guitarist with moth wings (just roll with it). this account is used as an archive for both that and extremely occasional other non-fandom doodles of mine

the best way i can describe luna sloth is that it's a young-adult comedy comic about the aforementioned gay moth (emmy) and her psychic damage, her mysteriously-forgettable scarf-wearing multiinstrumentalist best friend (indie), his aloof goth college classmate with unusually good eyes (iris), and the former-cheesy-sitcom actor they run into at a supermarket (mary) who's just kind of unhinged and annoying in 50 different ways (said lovingly).

there is Romance In It but not as the entire focus, and i like to think it's doing something interesting with the topic, especially since there's a whole plot where an aroace character tries to deal with having a relationship (about as successful as you're imagining). there also may be a yuri eventually but shh. and a big plot about mary's backstory on tv where symbolic ghost hallucinations and hand injuries are involved

between this and the fact i'm meticulously putting the plot together behind the scenes before "officially" drawing it, i like to think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of thought being put into the thing... just give me time to cook everyone... 🙏

(also maybe check the tags if you're curious to see the stuff i've done already haha woah!!)

indie and the reception :)

scenario where indie gets really into a book about a magic cow or something, iris overstates how much she actually likes it so he can hopefully like her more, emmy takes this as "oh shit iris really likes that book so i need to speedrun knowing everything about it to bond with her", which results in both of them reenacting scenes from the book to prove their knowledge in front of indie (extremely clueless)

incident that was so surreal i basically had to drop everything instantly and recreate it to the best of my ability

i've made a handful of discord-emoji-style drawings of my weirdos for fun but alas don't have nitro so i can't actually use them all that much. it's fine tho i've been vicariously living through people who do

stupid idea that wouldn't leave my head until i drew it. emmy/indie/mary watching the tadc finale. mary 100% would misinterpret herself as a Jaxlike (condolences)

wet indie (mary's trying to "benefit" him by covering him in water, showing him the resulting horde of goth women that materialises to ogle at him, and making him finally realise other people can find him sexy instead of denying it every time because "hmm i just don't really see it :)")

#my art #oc art #the magnicanon #luna sloth (magnicanon)#mary moreton (ls)#indie mondegreen (ls)#the idea to draw him wet was a friend's suggestion hfhgcg

quirky-maximalist-fashion-enjoying photographer zoomer ollie (oliva) flores who affects people in her life emotionally a normal amount. she's 100% sympathetic and adorable (not an act), which makes it sting just that bit more when she acts reactive and unintentionally manipulative to people, for example emmy

(I LOVE UNCLEAR COMPLICATED DYNAMICS)

weird younger emmys. she only dresses like this under duress

if indie was american he'd probably sound like therealjims

*iris was disqualified because she would probably make elaborate paintings of everyone and i'm not doing all that for a quick shitpost

more or less what rigel (from the first story in my pinned post) looks like btw. i don't think i've even drawn him in the past... 2-3 years or so, and probably won't draw him for a long while until i feel ready to tackle that whole thing, but just good to keep this on hand

(btw he's not supposed to be a literal angel but the similarity is intentional. people just happen to be Winged in the area he's from and it's very cloudy... it superficially looks heavenly but is just an extremely boring and practically-dying city. like a meta-gag)

sequel of sorts since it dawned on me that her bullshit isn't even close to fully covered in the first image

it doesn't deserve some rando (me) directly reblogging it with a picture of their blue guy but shoutout to this post (he canonically likes solitaire so it's realer than you think)
