Dude, What?

[martuzzio]

Hey there! My name is Marzo. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator most known for my zine work and my two AUs: Space Outlaws and Medieval 141. Here's a little about me and this blog:

My pronouns are she/her

I'm an adult (possibly even an adulty-adult)

I'm American

I pretty much only post my own content to this blog, reblogging other people's content very very sparingly

Feel free to use my art as pfps, banners, phone and computer wallpapers, etc, as well as including it in edts ONLY if you give credit to me and this blog

Do not repost, trace, or use my art in any commercial projects, ever

Fanart and other creative endeavors inspired by my work are warmly welcomed (make sure to let me know they exist so I can check them out!)

Check out all the art I post here using the #my art tag

My asks are always open! Please feel free to shoot me one about whatever you like :)

Onto my two AUs:

Medieval 141 (Call of Duty)

I started developing this AU in late 2022 for very similar reasons as Space Outlaws: I got the itch to draw some armor and decided to use Soap and Ghost (characters from the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II) as my outlet.

I'm currently writing a long format fic about this AU with my friends @sapphoaloy and @dumpsterskald called The Shield and the Shadow! You can read it on Ao3 here :)

Space Outlaws (Hermitcraft)

This project began in the summer of 2020 when I got the itch to design some futuristic space suit armor for TangoTek (a minecraft youtuber on the Hermitcraft server). Things quickly blossomed into creating space suits for ALL of the hermits and collaborating with the rest of the HC community (through tumblr asks and discord) to come up with elaborate backgrounds for each character. Multiple people have created written pieces and illustrations for this AU which I'm humbled, amazed, and extremely grateful for. Things have slowed down since 2020 as my interests have shifted, but I tend to revisit these characters every couple of months.

I'm currently working (VERY slowly) on a fic based in this universe called My Reality, Yours. Check out the hub for this project here and read the story on ao3 here.

Yay, I'm glad! Also oof, you can say that again. 2025...

Hi!! I read the medieval 141 AU and fell in love. Was studying mmcoconut and couldn't resist drawing the boy. Plus bonus chibi as an offering. I wanted to ask where you get your inspo for armor? I want to draw my own medieval fantasy comic.

Much love to all involved in your projects! I ADORE your art! It has such a fantastic atmosphere.

-Rav

AHHHHH THIS IS AMAZING!! The pose, the expressions, the chibi, I love it all! This brightened my day so much. :) Mwah, chef's kiss!!

Also, that's awesome that you want to make a comic! I wish you the best of luck. :) I have some advice I rambled way too long about that I've put under the cut!

Alrightyyyy [cracks knuckles and dislocates a finger]

As for where I get my armor inspo, it kind of feels like a no brainer to say google, but that's really the gist of it. Google and pinterest are my favorite places to find cool things -- google for text-based, pinterest for images.

To find the really good stuff, though, you have to dig. And do some research. And take notes, because trust me, learning the names of specific bits of clothing and armor and the time periods / locations they could be found in is sooooo helpful, if only to narrow your search results and filter out the stuff you don't care about. Plus, googling a specific piece of armor by name usually results in images of it from lots of different angles, which will be super useful when making a comic and having to draw that piece of armor a million times :)

For this AU, I basically just collected a bunch of cool photos from online and used them to frankenstein together a full outfit for each of the main characters. Several were then iterated on later with the help of my co-writers to make sure everything made sense from an environmental and socio-economical standpoint. Those factors were important to us in order to get the ~vibes~ right, but they aren't an absolute necessity when designing a cool outfit if you don't care about them.

Also, only somewhat related but hopefully still useful, another thing I do when I design visually complex characters is to either write or draw a super detailed depiction of the character's outfit., especially if I plan on depicting them a lot. For example, creating a character sheet that focuses mainly on the clothes from multiple angles is huge. Here's an example I made for the knigts' armor in SaTS, and another example from a different project. Can you tell I like torturing myself with overly complicated designs? :')

Anyways, it's all about doing some digging and focusing on the things you think look the coolest, because at the end of the day, it's your character! You can do whatever you want with them :D

If there's anything else I can help with, feel free to shoot me an ask! My co-writers and I love yapping about armor!

[martuzzio]

hi, is the cod medieval au still ongoing? no pressure, i could wait a year /lh but just wanted to know y’all’s current intents for the fic

Yes, it is!

Trashbard checked in with the comment section on ao3 relatively recently (is December of last year recent? Oof ouch ouch), so now it's my turn to bring the news here: we're (slowly, but surely) getting back into business with The Shield and the Shadow!

My co-writers and I all led very interesting (aka busy) lives in 2025. Being an adult is hard and trying to get three adults together to create something as collaboratively dense as TSatS is even harder, but we've recently scraped together some time to progress!

To make things abundantly clear, I don't know when ch15 will be posted. We simply just don't have a timeline right now -- not that we ever do, let's be real, but you get the point. I can say that we've made progress, though, we're looking to the future, and we have no plans on abandoning our silly gay knights any time soon!

Also, I'm replying to this ask because it was the most recent (out of several wondering roughly the same thing, oof sorry guys). Thank you all for your continued support! It means the world to us :)

[martuzzio]

Hii!!! Actually I just would like to know how are you doing??

I just miss your writing, and blogs sooooo much!! Sometimes my brain just go: martuzzio, did I miss her notification!??!? Than I realize, I not, so I just scroll your blog to dopamine!!

I know that nowadays you are leaving a really difficult scenario in EUA, and IA thing, maybe it's it??

Anyway, hope you are okay 🙃❤️

Hi! o/

I'm doing well! Thank you for your concern. I had a really busy personal life last year (pretty much all good things, thankfully) that had me putting social media on the backburner. Or, no, not even that -- more like it was put in the pantry, shoved to the back of a shelf to collect dust.

It was really nice tbh, a nice change of pace, and I have a feeling that I'll most likely never post to this site as frequently as I sometimes have in the past. But! I've just logged into tumblr today for the first time in like a year (haha, oops), and I feel like I'm nowhere near done with this place, so I'm definitely not gone forever :)

POV your prisoner-turned-work partner slash love interest (???) drags you out into the freezing cold because he wants to show you something “fascinating” (probably a new sword move) that apparently needs “ample room” to be successful

(AKA continuing my tradition of only drawing this AU in winter)
