Drowned in Sound

Just someone makin' doodles and other posts relating to a handful comic concepts I've been working on for a few years. + Check Toyhouse for organized OC lore and Ko-Fi for Adopts! -Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned-

Also suppose I can put that old style inspo thingy here to give you an idea of my stuff both visually and storywise-

Sharp edges, punks, and way too much geopolitical lore! Since this is kinda old I'd probably toss in Michiko and Hatchin, Megalobox, Dorohedoro, CSM, and Eizouken in here too!

Star Wars- Reminiscing

Downloaded a mod in Battlefront 2 that gives Grievous the war paint of his original mask and gave me this idea

Ooookay only Star Wars adopts remaining are the clone Protector and the Clone Commando!

Both are 10 bucks so if ya want em hit me up here or peep Kofi, Thanks c:

Honestly if the Protector doesn't sell I might just keep him for GOTS to be my version of Spar or something

Deadlock- Talon Redesign

Took a shot at a Grey Talon redesign. Kinda spirit ferrymen idea based on Choctaw attire since owls are omens of familial tragedy in their folklore which fits Talon pretty well.

Lemme know whatcha think since it's uhhh different lol

BLEACH- Sharks

Various Harribel doodleroos

Njoki Cafe!

Finally did another doodle of Njoki (replacement spy lady), this time in a Kikuyu inspired fit!

Milestone- ICON

To kick off my Black History Month doodles, no better place to start than Milestone. Though they never got to be in the DCAU I think I did alright with the adapting Icon and Rocket to the style.

Happy birthday Dwayne McDuffie, Rest in Peace~

DC- Cheshire Update!

Bit of a side thing I've been workin on, but behold! I've updated my old take on DC Cheshire. Been watching Young Justice and with the Cheetah comic it felt like a good time to finally iron out an update design for Jade.

Little mishmash of various designs she's had. Teen Titans animated mask and sleeves, Young Justice tech suit and darker skin tone, and comic headband, hair, and colours! Really the only original bit I've hadded is replacing her usual kung-fu gi or kimono with an outfit based off of ao dai instead since yknow..she's Vietnamese

I can believe it, but truly I think Im done with Star Wars...

Its been rough these past few years watching filoni systematically destroy the current canon and what can only be seen as intentionally destroying what little Legends lore he hadnt already touched. I normally kept up with every new thing that came out regardless my interest be it to give it a chance or to keep up to date on Canon for my own stories to fit as well as possible. But it really hasnt mattered for sometime with that wolf obsessed fanfic writer (derogatory) trampling over everything.

I didnt watch Acolyte, havent cared about new games, havent bought new novels or kept up with comics aside from the occasional disappointing one off like most of the Age of Republic ones. Mostly skipped to the end of Bad Batchs final season and didnt bother with Mando season 3.. and I have negative interest in its movie. And of course Ahsoka that really showed just how bad things could be. And that man is now in charge of the whole company, at least on the creative end which is somehow worse in my eyes....

I cant care anymore, this has been favourite series for my entire life and between the highs and lows, mass media projects and content lulls, I still found things to love and stay engaged with and active. I still went in with a positive outlook even when others didn't (I see all you fake revisionist Rebels "fans" now who hated that shit before it even aired I know what you are). But I just don't have it in me anymore. Im sorry.

With that said, I'll still be doodlin my characters, still keep working on GOTS. But admittedly a large part of why I tried so hard to fit my story with established lore and not be crazy or indulgent doesnt matter now. Thats not to say it will become that it wont, just that whatever comes next I dont think Im going to pay the same strict fine toothed comb for. It really is something that filoni could get everything and more so many of us dreamed of a chance at, and failed time and time again raising every red flag into becoming the head of Star Wars itself.. At least by now he's lost most of his cultist fans, guess all we can do is hope his tenure is short..but as fate would have it I was reading the old original Clone Wars comics before TCW and saw something that was topical for headlines at the time here in the states, but also ironically works in this context too.

Also Valorum is blown up shortly after this

COMMISSION- Umbaran

Commisheroo of an Umbaran adopt I sold a bit ago including a custom pilot suit (pulled from SWTOR and TCW)
