I might do a post edit explaining some of the less clear frames if anyone’s confused about what’s happening. It’s very sketchy lol. Anyways this is the culmination of my last few days’ obsession, I hope you all enjoy it!!
(The audio is inspired by hoot_growl on tiktok, who made a STUNNING Marya and Ludmila edit that also made me think about other things as well)
Anybody that wanna hear my thought process for everything in here feel free to read below
So, first the background: I wanted to go with the "main" and "secondary" place, and for Ludmila those would be Gath and Zern (the Queen of Zern version I have to this is the other way around), and the different characters/objects in the circles are things that are important/greatly changed her.
The circles - they are paired up this way:
The heart and Kočka - I always liked to think of Kočka as also representing the type of person Ludmila was, in a way where her heart was, and it was in adventure and helping others
Marya and the Straka - do I really need to explain my thought process here? Both her past and her future, the person that took her to the skies and the monster that brought her down to hell
Olethra and the Automata - both honestly the characters we've seen change her the most through the series, Olethra is the one character that keeps pushing to save her even though she's never met her, they're quite literally the same type of person and maybe that's why she's so bent on saving her; while the automata is who tricked her into falling deeper and deeper into despair, with sweet words that were all planned, just to use her to get themselves into absolute power in Zern and, by the end of it, discard her when she (the human her) wasn't useful anymore as a tinkerer
Everybody that knew her as a human is looking as her, they see Ludmila, the other one's aren't. For the Automata she's just another chess piece they will use and throw away and the Straka may be her invention, but it's not hers, it's a weapon.
The scrap she's sitting on is mostly made of Straka but with some of Sandy's parts scattered around (she did make both good and bad things during her time in Zern) and the pipes connecting the parts are running with her blood already (her whole destruction is in a time loop, even now she's already nothing more than fuel)
The pose: I wanted to make her in a softer type of pose, she's making herself smaller but still sitting comfortably on top of a pile of scrap (well, she's from scrapsilvania after all), I though of making her happy (to destroy the baseless accusations that I only draw ludmila suffering) but she isn't happy, she's sitting on top of her literal destruction, one she'll make herself. She's looking slightly up, since I wanted her to still have some sort of "hopefulness" in the pose and expression.
So yeah! I have thoughts and opinions and so many thought! Gotta wait the Queen of Zern version of this drawing and then the differences will be even more interesting!
Hi yeah, so uhhhhh Marya' bookmark I guess. The idea is to print it on the other side of Ludmila's and as soon as I gpfigure out my printer I'll post picture of it
So following some of my other Ludmila and Aunt Zuzana, I got an idea for a comic (which then I thought would also look good sorta animated) of how she looks at things.
So... i did a quick comic about Ludmila based on one of my ramblings about her, this was sitting on my wips for a while but i guessnchristmas spirit truly brings miracles
This was supposed to have a lot more effort put into it, and maybe I'll come back later and add all the fancy stuff! But for now here it is!
