Lay All Your LOVE On Me

My entry into @strawberrij ‘s Fashion Thespius Zine! I based his final look after a hodge podge of outfits from ABBA. The last sketch at was attempt at making something based off of the Beatles’ soldier uniforms in St. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, but I was ultimately not happy with the outfit beyond the heart tummy window.

Developing an original story from an old idea!

It’s about a bunch of magical girls who save the world, but then grow up and deal with the trials of adulthood after their done being magical girls.

Character descriptions under cut!

Ellove (she/her, they/them) = a former antagonist who is half dark entity, half human. After the magical girls defeat the Darkness and graduate from high school, Ellove stays in town and opens a book shop as a front to establish a secret base, where she attempts to heal the Dark Forces and bring them back into power. After nearly 15 years with no success, Ellove learns to accept that perhaps she was on the wrong side of history, and gives up on taking over the world again and instead goes native as the town’s bookshop owner.

Bellamie (she/her) = Ellove’s former enemy, returns to her hometown after struggling to establish a career to move back in with her aging parents, shocked to find that Ellove has reformed herself. Eventually they start dating. Struggles to find her. Purpose after saving the world.

Tristian (he/him) = Bellamie’s twin. Transmasc, formally discharged from the army. Struggles to reconnect with his sister. Prefers to put magical girl life behind him due to dysmorphia affiliations.

Oleander (they/them) = moves to Arizona to attend a forensics graduate program. Joins law enforcement, using their magical girl powers to fight local crime, but eventually leaves the force and becomes a private investigator. Somewhat a vigilante/bounty hunter.

Morgana (she/her) = Formerly the leader of the magical girls. She became an accomplished business woman who runs a very successful spa chain and publishes a self-help book. Secretly an adrenaline junkie, struggles to keep her thrill sneaking at bay and misses the danger and excitement she faced in high school.

Kayleighe (she/her) = Becomes a pop star sensation practically immediately after high school. Uses her magical girl powers and transformation as a gimmick. Valley Girl. Insufferably sugar sweet movie star. Demi Lovato Vibes.

Sariah (and Jay Jay) = married to her wife Johanna, stay at home mom. Works as a fitness instructor on Tuesdays and Thursdays, records a lot of exercise routines at home and holds classes both in person and over zoom. Mama Bear.

Beetlelands Week 2020, Prompt 3: Hurt/Comfort

The Maitlands learn that one of the most inconveniently depressing parts of being dead is that they aren’t even allowed to leave the house long enough visit their graves, and miss their own funeral. But with a little help from Lydia, Beetlejuice might be able to fix that.

((This one’s a little less detailed than the others because I ran out of time 😭 i might revisit this prompt another day because I’m a sucker for h/c, but here’s a sappy piece in the meantime!))

Beetlelands Week 2020, Prompt 2: Date Night

What’s more romantic than being serenaded on a private boat ride across the scenic River Styx? Just be sure to watch out for high tide, wayward spirits, and spiders of course.

Beetlelands Week 2020, Prompt 1: One Bed

There are lots of beds in the Maitland-Deets Household, but there’s only one for Beetlejuice. And it’s in the attic. 

((This was so much fun!!! I broke out adobe illustrator for the first time in a long while and went full ham. I wanted to go for a look that was similar to the musical set, with the house opened up. Included some close-ups and a pic of just the background!))

“Excuse me, Mr. Beetlejuice? We can kinda hear you!”

Here’s the full piece I submitted for @beetlejuicefanbook !!! My page was based on Fright of Their Lives. I always got such a big kick out of the gospel soliloquy from the song, and wanted to present it in a painterly comic-book style!
