invincible brainrot is slowly awakening again!!! mused about the typical “what if someone you treasured got possessed” and we got Debbie with a villainous demeanor?
need a (new) way to simplify mark's shapes while still being largely recognizable... danny fenton is sooo fun and yummy to draw because he's so Shaped!! pentagon head and triangle hair and rectangle eyes and ears...but mark's design is evil and wicked. there's a dizzying amount of shapes over there...it's scary.
day 02 - missed yesterday, but realized I may need to post wips to try doing this daily thing! still so happy I’m drawing more. it’s a lovely push. more no lens mark! or no goggles? it’s a mouthful either way lol
One whole person asked about the Invincible suit design variants I did (a while ago, my bad fam) so FINALLY! WORD VOMIT ABOUT THE DESIGNS below!!! >:D
Coherency is for losers but for my own sanity, I’ll probably go suit by suit, which is going to be repetitive asf, since there’s recurring elements, purposefully so, but I will make my thoughts someone else’s problem istg, so before I begin I wanna clarify!
One! Mark and Nolan’s og designs are incredible and I won’t stand for any slander. Their suits work in such incredible contrast. The usage of primary colors for Mark, sans red, makes it so any red stands out against him, thereby suggesting how ill-fitting blood suits him, when it draws your eye so quickly! On the other hand, Nolan’s white (Viltrum color), and red suggest red, ergo blood, fits him, because when his hands are already covered in red, it’s hard to distinguish if the blood’s even there, because he already looks bloody, because violence suits him. Like the color usage + the line for the “O” to match Viltrum? Iconic. They ate this the fuck up.
Now, I’d rather watch paint dry than see Mark in his new blue-black suit a second longer, because it’s so horribly boring. And before you say a damn thing, I know the purpose of the suit, I’ve said it before, it is a visual representation of his darker era with literal darker color scheme, the removal of bright yellow (like his casual outfits s2 onward), represent the loss of joy, and this continues as he suffers, and his outlook on heroism is soured by Nolan’s actions, plus, he is literally beaten black and blue often. It’s a literal reversal of Nolan’s red-white, even. I KNOW. It’s still so boring because the COLOR works but the DESIGN doesn’t. So it just feels palette swapped. The only meaningful change is shorter boots, AND THAT’S IT? BLASPHEMY.
Hence the suits. First batch sports the yellow-black-blue, explorations to keep the color scheme, but to keep the message about ruined joy, the colors are dulled!
Now, first primarily focuses on incorporating elements from Conquest’s design, because his suit has a variation on the Viltrumite uniform. The double lined belt, the bit of pants cuffed by the low boots, are slapped onto Mark’s suit, here, while general, simplified shaped of Conquest’s robot arm (half circle, then straight line), are added to Mark’s gloves, as well as a chunky/puff cuff to the wrist to, again, give an attempt homage to Conquest’s arm. If you notice, Conquest’s robotic arm, when it meets his uniform, is half circle and straight line, but Mark has a bottom half circle, then line, because, again, homage. An extra emphasis on black because, y’know, darker era, with both the Viltrumite classic line cutting through Mark’s yellow, with black mask. Generally, I’m trying to keep the eye drifting up, but it’s an attempt while balancing the colors.
Second suit (is me fucking around lol), again, explorations by shifting the colors to minimize yellow as Mark’s joy shrinks but hasn’t died yet, with an emphasis on the black and blue. Double lines around the neck portion, Conquest has two lines around his upper arm instead of the standard one, and generally speaking, if you see double lines that’s what I’m trying to pull from. Plus, around the hip are stripes of blue with a shape vaguely mimicking the shapes around Viltrum/Nolan’s waist but vertically, not horizontally. And again, Conquest belt, but Viltrumite geometric shape, with a higher end at the slides, and a slightly lower end in the middle, line-wise. Like a really flattened U, if that makes sense. Boot size to mimic Nolan’s, rather than Conquest’s shorter boots.
Third of the yellow-black-blue batch follows similarly. Muted colors, double lines around the arm to mimic Conquest, but keeping the og suit’s higher boots without the knee brace, geometric lines rather than the smooth curve because sharp edges = scary, danger whatever, line language, idk, higher gloves to balance the colors, added blue to the upper leg to shake things up.
Beautiful mutual @/ talked about the fuck would you add red to the blue-black and I took it as a personal fucking challenge, and why the og post even exists, so this me figuring that color scheme and I DID IT. Hence, the second batch of three, blue-black-red. First of this batch has lines around the glove like Viltrum uniforms have a line around the lower arm, keeping the og suit’s fingerless look without actually being fingerless, big ol’ emphasis on red in particular while blue and black take second change. Same Conquest homage belt, og suit high boots, sharper shapes rather than smooth curve, with added dark blue around the upper arms as homage to Conquests’ lines around the upper arms.
Second of the second batch looks color to Nolan here with tiny adjustments; red is an inkling not the focus, while a soft baby blue takes center stage, ‘cause Mark is darker yeah, but he’s still soft, he’s still Mark. Forgot to mention all fingers in this batch are red because of Nolan, and the visual idea of them all have blood stained hands, much like how Nolan’s gloves are red! A little red on the boots to keep the color more of an accent, and a red line on the upper chest/neck as another Nolan homage!
Third of the second batch has way more red, an emphasis of violence, as the gloves are just as red and longer, being short of the elbow this time around. Pale blue-grey is the smallest color used now, but a sharper version of Mark’s og knee pads are included! Sharper, because it’s hard edges and not smooth, circular Mark wore initially. The red bleeding into Mark’s shoulder and a bit of the chest instead of switching to blue farther up, mimicked Mark’s original suit as well. That’s where Mark’s og suit had blue dipped in the shoulder of chest!
LAST one!!!! Entirely blue and black. Ran outta steam to finish anymore, and was itching to post, so the last batch has the only one suit. Only suit with a cape, which is black/dark on the side despite having blue on the outside, intentionally. Not only does he wear a cape like Nolan does, but the darker inside is supposed to emphasize a darker heart, like whatever the fuck that demon said at the end of s3. This suit keeps Mark’s canonical second suit (black, blue) glove but they’re not fingerless anymore but completely covered. The squarish shape to flat line that Nolan has around his waist (where red needs white there), is mimicked on a very minor scale around Mark’s own waist/blue around his chest, where it meets the darker grey.
i hardly do invincible reaction posts but i would pay cash money for someone to snitch on cecil and tell mark HE made sure conquest was alive. you KNOW bro was sweating his ass off. can you imagine? mark got more murderous you say? he's started killing people? and conquest escaped under my nose? anyone snitching is getting fired and sent to the torture dungeon.
always wanted to do one of those yearly redraws!!!
comparison here :3 feel slightly better about the pose, though it’s not as frantic as I want it to be? another year to perfect that, but happy to see a difference!
