(starring Sir Juniper and Agent Dex from Leif & Thorn)
Something funny I just realized- in my head, I've been giving Dex a very similar voice to Floofty from Bugsnax, a fellow purple, glasses-wearing, morally-dubious, older sibling enby.
Not familiar with that game at all, so I looked up a Floofty compilation on Youtube...
Oh, poor Dex would be so grumpy about this. Sure, they can be condescending, but they're not this blatant about it! They have a smooth, sonorous, reassuring voice. They've worked hard to cultivate that!
Made a bunch of Leif & Thorn characters with the Stardew Valley Portrait Maker!
4, 6, and/or 12 for Dex/Hermosa? For 12 I'm specifically thinking before Hermosa got his injury, as it's kind of too obvious after.
4. are they opposites? parallels? reflections? something else?
6. why are they drawn to each other? what fuels the attraction? why is it this person, as opposed to anyone else?
...these are so relevant to the current storyline, wow. Somebody come back to this post in a couple weeks, and remind me to reblog with no-longer-spoilery commentary.
12. who is the mask and who is the voice? who is the weapon and who is the wielder? who watches and who performs? who shines and who reflects?
Normally Dex is the mask and Hermosa is the voice, although when Hermosa was working in Northwind he did a lot of being-the-mask.
Dex is the weapon, Hermosa is the wielder.
Both of them watch (they were both talented spies, it's second nature by now), Dex performs and enjoys it, Hermosa performs as necessary.
"Not shining" is also second nature (hard to be a spy if you draw a lot of attention). Dex reflects in the sense of amplifying and spotlighting Hermosa's good qualities. Hermosa reflects in the sense of getting Dex to look at what they're doing, and maybe re-evaluate.
Leif & Thorn characters made with this Picrew by @chereverie
Agent Dex, Agent Delphinium, Magical Ivy, and Lord Imri, from Leif & Thorn. (High-res wallpaper versions here.)
Terrible US politicians spent this whole election season whipping up fears against trans people. I wanted to draw a team-up of "trans characters who would throw down to protect you." But with two vampire hunters and one vampire in the group, Ivy has to step up and protect them from each other.
Needed some new designs for the Vampire (Hunter) Thorn AU.
Hunter Pascentia's design is inspired by Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, although without features like "shoulder pads larger than her head," because it isn't the '80s anymore. Hunter Dex is more Hellsing-style formal wear, with the addition of some visible body armor.
Free Comic Book Day is coming up on May 7!
...to be fair, in webcomics, Free Comic Day is every day. But I might also put a free bonus comic in the Reseda Comics shop for FCBD. Stay tuned.
