STRANGER THINGS ▸ 2.01 chapter one: MADMAX
Duffers didn't even need to kill off anyone after murdering everyone's fucking character.
fave thing ever when writing steve is making him say "i was still alive when x happened" as if he's not alive when im writing him, like yes steve think about whether your existence on this earth counts as being alive, let's unpack that, or let's not because im in charge
I know we've never personally met Steve's parents. But you take one look at that poor boy's room and tell me how parents don't give a fuck about their child or his interests.
Like wtf is this, this is a room designed by a mother who wanted an IKEA home. There's no photos of him and his friends, one stilted framed picture of a car and the plaid!? Part of me thinks it's like this because he was supposed to die in season 1.
i did it….i pulled myself out of art block…
are you proud of me…. @kalied0skull….i took your advice and i dids it
Anyway!!!! Forst up, Johnny Cade!! Ough, he’s very tragic to me to think of him pre-everything really. I love the idea that he was like Dally, in a way, before he was jumped. Rowdy, loud, a lovable asshole. He was snarky and mean and aggressive and played dirty just like all the other boys. He wasn’t as afraid to smile or show the natural aggression that flows through everyone’s blood. He was just Johnny! So, obviously i had to draw him in an outfit i feel he’d wear, and remembered i had that one sitting in my photo library and just blanked.
Next!! Trans fem Pony because shems been invading my head for a bit. And then i thought “sibce she’s INVADING my thoughts…i should make her into an alien…a gooby.” And i did. Im peoud of what i’ve done. First pary of that image is just her fresh off the ship. I feel like she’d adore lacy material, looking like a book worm in a way. I hc that mama curtis ADORED lacy dresses and outfits, and it passed off to Pony when she transitioned. Next part of the image is the transing of the gender. Final part is the main drawing, her in her pretty dress as she’s…idk meshing??? Into a human. I can’t remember who said it (if i remember i’ll tag them), but someone had made a post talking about transfem pony and how she’d be named “Cowgirl” as opposed to “Ponygirl” and i adored it. It has the Curtis touch!!
Finally, we have good ol’ stevepop because kalied0skull absolutely destroyed me with steve’s birthday writing thingy (watch your back…). It hurts and i needed comfort. Also yes i traced the horse. So what? I can’t desw animals ☹️. I don’t have much to say aboyt it really. Saw horse, saw boys kissing, thought “stevepop,” and just drew. It’s second nature tbh
Anywhoodle!! I hope whoever resd this likes this!! I gotta finsih up an art assignment so see you tomorrow (please….art ideas…i dunno who to draw for tomorrow’s theme….)
edit: I REMEMBER WHO DID THE COWGIRL NAME THING IT WAS @broareweabouttoviberightnow !!!!
This was going to be a bingo fill but round 3 ended before I could finish this, but I like how this came out so I wanna share it anyway. Tried my hand at IbisPaint X screen tones, I’ve rarely used screen tones so this was fun to playing around with
Ignore I forgot Steve’s shield twice please I just noticed oof
