Hello! I have been dead!

But for good reason!

I have (just about) FINALLY finished some character sheets I am super happy with!!

Do I think they’re done? No.

Are these the first ever character sheets I’ve ever actually made? Yes :D

Am I gonna show them to you? Maybe in another two months… 😏

(😈🙏)

Until then, have Text Post!

I will post Travel Sketches shortly. Soon. Sometime… Eventually.

HAPPY TIME ZONE! XP

Finally got their body proportions drawn!!

Aaaand a basic line-up height!

You can clearly see here that Lykus, about 5’3”, loses 3 inches in his slouch, making him appear significantly shorter than Aliver!

So happy to see them lined up like this!

[possibilitytoart]

Was writing until 05.00am last night, and right before I stopped for the night, I called Lykus a moldy croissant & compared him to being as “sour as a sun-warmed diet coke.”

I don’t know what that means, but I’m keeping it! 🤣🤣

Remember when I said Art is Stupid?

I stand by that statement.

So I wrote a full thing for this earlier today, then deleted it by exiting the app without saving to drafts like a fucking dumbass 🙃 lmao.

Left: Lykus

Right: Aliver

Basically, from what I wrote earlier, this thing, that I probably should’ve captioned in the actual image as being a “Clothes Swap,” but I refuse to go back & fix it…

I realized two things & complained about one.

One: Anatomy is stupid.

Idk why Lykus ended up so tiny & why Al is so much bigger. I got the proportions down a bit better! And Al is way beefier than I imagined, but it works… but idk why Lykus looks TINY! Like, he’s a couple inches shorter, sure, but he just looks pocket-size & that is not what I’m going for. I will absolutely be fucking around with more body types, as I need to anyway, outside of character design…

1/2 : I need to give these dudes actual closets! Lykus came to be by a random sfx makeup / cosplay day in July of 2023, as most of my characters tend to come about, apparently…. So his fit was already designed, but he needs more variety. And while I like the blue jeans Al is wearing, I need to find more boots. He is wearing my work boots, and while he does rock them, they aren’t “Aliver,” ya know?

Blah, blah, that brings me to my second point,

2/2 : Fuckin’ marker colors!! I need more alcohol marker colors!! You would think that with more than 20 markers you’d have enough, but noooo! They aren’t like paints where you can just blend them and add water or white / black to alter values. No, dude! They come as they are, no exceptions!

Also, mildly miffed about taking the time to SWATCH all of the colors, on the SAME paper, only to have them decide to CHANGE COLOR/VALUE when USED!!!

Lykus, my beautiful Latino American boy, is NOT THAT DARK! Dude is actually hella light skin. Not as white as Aliver, but definitely not as dark as 101 turned out to be. >:/

And while I do like those blue jeans Al is wearing, I would’ve preferred his jeans’ marker to be distressed instead of having my black dried the hell out??? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!

Last complaint:

I fucking hate drawing Aliver’s flannel jacket.

It is so important to his character design & the fact that it’s flannel/plaid, but I fucking hate coloring that thing.

“Skill issue.” Yeah, yeah, fuck off… Practice ‘n’ all that…

Okay, crybaby is done moaning.

Have a great time zone, y’all! <3

I’ll give these guys a song later, just let me organize for my brain-!

(lmao)

Table Manners

The ACTUAL first of the series!

You know what, maybe I’ll just make a text post with a list of the order for my own insanity. 😂

Dark Green: Lykus, SZV ☣️🩸☠️

Red: Daemyn, Hanahaki 💔🌸🪦

Short Story Description:

SZV - Post Zombie Apocalypse. Series of movies following various characters throughout the years.

About 8 years in, Lykus & Aliver have created a Utopian socialist society within an American football stadium. The zombies have become mild nuisances & life is regaining a sense of normal mundanity. Of course when everything seems to finally be going right, things go wrong. Survivors outside the Stadium are becoming desperate & have no qualms forcing entry into others’ sanctuary, reaping havoc & even killing others, intentionally & unintentionally.

Hanahaki - Comic Novel about a young man’s fast decent into madness, illness, and inevitable death.

It’s a story about a mentally ill lunatic. He’s terrified to live & even more petrified by the thought of death. He’s stuck between living & dying. Pummeled by anxiety attacks, never catching a damn break. He fights with his worst enemy & most persistent alter “Bad Alter,” who wants nothing more than to make Daemyn’s life a living Hell, encouraging him to end it all, but Daemyn can’t.

Eventually he meets a friend, Jennifer, whose name sounds like the name of the girl who shattered his heart a few weeks prior, & constantly calls her Menefer instead.

He meets & loses people on his journey until he’s alone & dying with himself.

A conversation between selves, really.

Self, terror, trauma, mental illness, grief, regret & acceptance. Flat Line.

(Another story I’ve had since middle school, and one I’ve recently picked up again!)

Short Description of Stories:

Survivors outside the Stadium are becoming desperate & have no qualms forcing entry into others’ sanctuary, reaping havoc & even killing others, intentionally & unintentionally.

BTH - Homoerotic Cannibal Romance. Novel of a blossoming love story between a cannibal & a closet-bisexual.

Graham has just been kicked out from his long-time girlfriend’s house. With nowhere to go, and family to avoid, he stuffs his things in his hand-me-down beat up car & drives. He finds himself driving on the roads he & his dad used to go down when they went camping together when he was a kid. But a muggy morning in Maine causes mischief as Graham hits potholes after potholes & loses visibility to the poor conditioned road outside. He suddenly swerves to miss a fallen tree & crashes into a trunk of a tree off the road.

Concussed, he exits & sees the silhouette of a house in the distance. Groggily, he stumbles towards it. Just before he’s able to call to whomever may be inside, he steps on something terrible, breaks his leg & passes out.

When he comes to, there is a gentleman taking care of him in his living room. Little does Graham know that this gentleman, by the foreign name of Aurelius, is trying to decide whether to eat this handsome stranger, or to get to know him.

Hitman - A story I’ve had since middle school.

A Hitman who’s been doing this job since he was 23 - and has astonishingly made it this long - makes a blunder when he runs into a young & bubbly girl while trying to catch his newest target who has escaped. The girl, 23-year old college-graduate & florist Katie, abandons all that she knows to catch up to this mysterious man & his mission.

Evander wants nothing more than to get rid of Katie, who refuses to leave, insisting that she wants to stay & can be if use! But since the death of his longtime girlfriend 9 years ago, all he’s known is alcohol, depression & killing others for money. Maybe this ray of sunshine & flowers will be a good match for him & he can learn to be happy again after all.

(There’s also police involved, a faked death, unrequited crushes, & a reunion between lost friends.)
