DID YOU KNOW THAT I'M STILL ALIVE??? And did you know that I've been making a new story?

I've gone back to my historical fiction roots, y'all. The story is called "The Traitor's Ballad", I've been working on it since February of 2024, and it's near and dear to my heart. It's set in 1930s Germany (oddly reminiscent of something... 🤔) and is about a boy named Milo and his misfit, jazz-loving friends who are disturbed by the state of their country on the eve of WWII. As Germany marches closer to war with the rest of Europe, the teens must make the difficult decision to remain true to what they know is right and stand up to the N*zis.

Illustrations for Chapter 7!

Now that I'm caught up with all the character profile and cover arts, I can post the actual illustrations for each chapter. The reason I'm starting from Ch 7 is because this was where I began creating specific illustrations instead of just repurposing panels from the comic version 🥲

Anyways, once I get caught up, postings of the illustrations will also serve as an announcement that a new chapter has been posted to TAPAS

Hey guys, I know it’s been a long time since I posted anything and believe me…I have a lot of stuff I’m still working on it, but here’s a little something! If you aren’t aware, Pokémon Wind and Waves is the next generation of Pokegames and I can’t wait for them! All the starters are super cute and struggling to choose which one is going to be mine. When the final evolutions come out, i’ll probably choose then but right now Pombon is the cutest, Gecqua is the coolest and Browt is the underdog, but that might all change later in the game!

Who do you know you will choose?

Tee hee! I made these so long ago it feels like, but they still bring me joy: expression meme of both Milo and Lukas, main characters of my story!

Yes, this is in fact, where the infamous and cursed Lukas wheeze meme image comes from. We don't ask questions about it....

I have a question for both Milo and Leah:

What is one of their favourite childhood memories? One that they think back on and take strength from when things get stressful or tough?

Character expressions sheet I made last year for all the main characters of my WWII story, "The Traitor's Ballad". Some of them have changed so much, and others seem quite the same as their final designs, but this was still a good exercise at the time to develop their most defining features at least.

Anyways, to find out more about these characters, you can view their characters sheets: Milo, Otto, Lukas, Leah, Anton, Salomé, Milo (1944), and Fritz

🔺The Traitor's Ballad🔺

Teehee! Now that I am FINALLY done posting all the character profiles for my WWII comic/webnovel "The Traitor's Ballad", I can start posting other art from it! These are the earliest sketches of the story (in its current form) from February of 2024! And I am loving how different the characters all look from their final forms LOL

First are Christiansen and Biederer, who didn't even have names then and were just generic SS guards.

Then there's first ever drawing of Fritz 🤣 Who might as well be a completely different person because his design changed so much.

Then a bunch of Milos of varying degrees. Little Milo. Anxious Milo. BORED Milo (I like that one still). His is probably the design that's stayed the most consistent of all 😊 I just made him shorter in the final short king ftw

THEN Milo and Leah fluff pictures that I never thought would see the light of day....

First drawing of Milo's mom and younger siblings ☺️

First drawing of Anton and Arnold 🤣🤣 why they look like that tho?

And lastly first drawing of Lukas??? who is this boy with short hair. Does he even really like jazz here?

Hope you like them and enjoy how silly they all once looked!

🔺The Traitor's Ballad🔺

PREVIOUS CHARACTER | NEXT CHARACTER [TBA]

Posting some more character profiles for my WWII story, "The Traitor's Ballad". Here is criminal turned resistance member, Schwarz. Finally, this is the last one that I have (FOR NOW), when I get into the 2nd part of the story ("The Traitor's War" 😭😭) there will be more!

DESCRIPTION:

Criminal inmate at Buchenwald serving a lengthy sentence for several white-collar crimes. He serves as a kapo in the camp, but unlike some of the other kapos, who only use the position to get special treatment or brutally oversee the other prisoners, Schwarz uses it to help others and manipulate the SS guards in order to help out the Buchenwald Resistance.

Posting some more character profiles for my WWII story, "The Traitor's Ballad". Here is Liesbeth, Dutch political prisoner and member of the resistance at Buchenwald

DESCRIPTION:

Dutch political prisoner interned at Buchenwald. After most of her family were murdered by the SS for their involvement in the Dutch Resistance, she was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp. Later she was transferred to Buchenwald where she had been forced to serve in the camp's brothel. Although it is a dehumanizing position, she has come to use it as a way to gain important information from the SS guards for the Buchenwald Resistance.

Posting some more character profiles for my WWII story, "The Traitor's Ballad". This one is for Søren Christiansen, SS guard at Buchenwald and the main antagonist for the third arc of the story.

DESCRIPTION:

SS guard at Buchenwald who takes sadistic joy in his maltreatment of the prisoners. After his native Denmark was invaded by the Nazis, he became a collaborator and turned in his own neighbors for being members of the resistance. He then joined the Germanic (foreign) branch of the Waffen-SS to serve Germany in the war, and later transferred to the Totenkopf Division to serve as a guard at Buchenwald.

DESCRIPTION:

Little is known by the other prisoners about what that treason actually entailed, but it leads members of the Buchenwald Resistance to become interested in recruiting him as the Allies advance and liberation of the camp seems imminent.

PREVIOUS CHARACTER | NEXT CHARACTER

Now that I've done some more writing on my script and have solidified a lot more about where I'm going with it, I've continued making some more character profiles. These ones will be from the third arc of the story, which takes place in Buchenwald Concentration Camp, and is presented concurrently along with arcs one and two, which are a flashback of Milo's life which he recounts to Fritz while they are both trying to survive the camp in the final months before VE Day. Anyways, here is Fritz, who is pretty much the protagonist of this arc of the story: a teenage soldier in the Wehrmacht who was sent to Buchenwald for being a deserter.

DESCRIPTION:

Teenage Prisoner held at Buchenwald Concentration Camp for the crime of deserting from the Wehrmacht. He initially believes himself to be a terrible coward, until he meets Milo, a fellow prisoner who challenges that perception, and together they both become involved in the resistance at Buchenwald as the Allies draw closer to Germany.
