This but make it polyamory

This is my first animatic! It was so hard not to keep adding frames

Can you tell I've been on a Norman Rockwell kick? I've always loved illustrations that tell a story through visual cues; the story here is that they're going to have to pull that rope out of the crab later.

Lore under the cut:

Drawing this piece made me think about how scribes are depicted in art. For thousands of years they've been shown as impartial observers and recorders, detailing events for later judgement. This was Vesryn Talwith's role for most of his exceedingly long life (but just because he's impartial doesn't mean he isn't judgy). He exists in the world to mark it down, not to live within it and make change. Any sort of emotional attachment is strictly unhelpful, but frustratingly unavoidable.

Marco Vidrio, captain of The Weeping Matron, is directly inspired by the 16th century Comedia Dell'Arte stage character Captain Spavento; a daring adventurer who leads his troupe with charisma and bravado. But The Captain is never who he appears to be. He's always revealed as a coward and a poseur, lying about his feats and leading followers under a false flag of hope. This comes through in Marco's character in a more subtle way. He really did all those things he brags about (though he may embellish from time to time), but he keeps his emotional sensitivity and inner life buried far beneath all that chest hair. He's the heart to Vesryn's brain and ever since he fished Vesryn out of the sea they’ve been inseparable.

Kino, Marco’s crab familiar, eats anything within claw’s reach and generally makes people uncomfortable.

Maybe I’m finally done with this lineup or I’ll just keep adding more peeps, we’ll see. Titled “a throuple and the nerd that doesn’t know they’re together”. I’ll let you guess who the nerd is ;)

Left to right, Ravi (tinkerer, coward, and blabber mouth), Marco (privateer captain and unlikely necromancer), Vesryn (ship’s clerk, vampire, and official party pooper), and Akressa (temple prostitute and mild shapeshifter). Bottom: Kino, Marco’s crab familiar and mascot with a habit of monching inconvenient things

Wait I just realized that you draw my favorite rendition of Nureyev. I love your work so much <3

Thank you!! I’ve found that my Nureyev design is mainly a mixture of George Takei with some Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove sprinkled in there.

Saw a goofy carrying pose reference and I knew what I had to do. In rare cases, vampires being caught in the sun can cause an inability to walk on their own. This only seems to happen around hunky sailors

Marco, warlock captain of The Weeping Matron, with his trusty clerk, Vesryn. The crab comes with. Also a 1 year redraw of Marco and Kino.

Lowkey just wanted to link more jupeter songs I worked so hard on that playlist

“On a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat

All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat

You're a rascal and a rogue, a villain and a crook

Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook I should be better, but I'm worse

What's the point pretending that you could be a better man?”

— the bird and the bee, “You’re a Cad”

Love these vibes!! You know Juno blasts this list when it’s pining hours
