10, 18, and 30 for those writer/artist asks :3
10) OC you most struggled to make?
Maybe not 'make' so much, but I definitely had to do the most research when developing Udham. I had to look into colonised India, mid 1800s fashion both in Punjab and England, names, religious customs and clothing, etc. It's a culture I wasn't taught about ever and so had to look into it myself, I've found a lot of good resources though luckily and it's been very interesting. A lot of developing the visuals for that universe involved a lot of dredging through fashion mags from the 1850s
18) Describe the setting of one or more of your wips
I have 3 "main" story wips I'm working on, none have names as of right now because I'm horrific at naming things lol, I really ought to have come up with smth but alas:
One (which is where the character above originates) is set during the mid 1850s, with the majority of the story occurring within the home of a layabout Victorian socialite, during and following a party he hosted. During this weekend-long gathering the guests witness the collision of a small meteorite, which unbeknownst to them contains extraterrestrial protist-like lifeforms, which possess a 'mind melding' aetiology and the event devolves into a miniscule epidemic as the residents and guests have to contend with the bizarre symptoms in a pre-germ theory era.
The 2nd of the main ones is set in the 1970s, rural Quebec, and follows two siblings (21 y/o Lou and 16 y/o Anne), after they leave home and attempt to find a stable place outside of their family. However, Lou manages to find both work and shelter in the form of a sleazy, perennially vacant motel, run by a shady, heavily disliked local family, things appear to look up for the both of them. However, Lou's job requirements slowly spiral into the immoral and macabre, and it starts falling apart at the seams. It's set kind of in the middle of nowhere, bitter, old industry western Quebecious town where only a few steadfast residents remain. It's meant to seem isolated but also too crowded and family, can't escape the few people around them.
The 3rd is a little bit more down to earth, but also a little bit more.. soap-opera, low-stakes. It's set in East London in the mid 2000s, primarily in council housing estates and understaffed hospitals. The protagonist, Spencer, is an addict into his most recent bout of sobriety when he finds out his ex partner passed, leaving him with an infant she had refused to let him see prior, due to her own paranoia. It's relatively gritty, if you walk through any low income part of the UK you'll see what I mean.
30) How are you doing? <3
I'm alright thanks! Just sort of cruising along
