Whimsical Fuckery

So I realized recently that most of my stuff has been archetypical fantasy stuff, which was fun to play around with but didn't really make it that interesting and was lacking my usual stupidity/humor/whimsy. So I decided to fix that. Also, shitty worldbuilding comic!

Ho, ho, ho

Felt like updating my blog at least one more time before the new year, so doodles it is. It wasn't just my general lack of productivity or slow rate of work that kept me from updating the past few months though: I had a drawing class this semester, and it basically just destroyed my desire to draw, ever. Now that it's over my will might return though.

Also, apologies for the smudges and quality. My laptop died and I'm on a Mac, and I have no idea what I should use for that since Sai doesn't work.

Chronicle doodlings

Been drawing a lot of stuff lately for Chronicle. Lately I've realized I don't draw my characters frequently enough, so I've just been drawing them doing THINGS. So here's some of the critters and characters for this little story thing.

Haven't started on the next chapter of it yet though; been occupying myself otherwise. I have a fun idea for it though!

Feed me, Seymour!

Blagh, long pause between updates again. I didn't have an idea for a good picture for the longest time, but I got one and have been working on it. Currently just beginning the coloring stage. In the meantime, I thought I might feed the blog with some sketches of stuff I've drawn recently or things I just never got around to scanning. Didn't bother to clean them up any.

Also, oddly enough I've actually whipped up two smaller pictures in the meantime as well that I'll probably color two, both featuring the dudes in the last picture.

MASSIVE MONSTER DUMP

Yeah, since school started I've hit a massive monster-drawing high. It's so much fun to just draw things that have nothing to do with anything and just sorta standalone, though I do have a sort of framework in mind for most of these guys.

There's also some old stuff I never scanned, so yay.

Duality

Duality is my current story idea. Don't have many drawings worth showing for it yet though, since a lot of them somehow got fucked up in scanning and I have to rescan them.

Duality is my first attempt at real worldbuilding, as most other story ideas I have just take place in some city where crazy shit happens. THIS story takes equal parts in a government coverup-heavy city that covers up anything remotely out of the ordinary and a Touhou-inspired fantasyland sealed off from the rest of the world (depicted in the picture I uploaded previously). This is where my attempt at worldbuilding occurs.


The thing about fantasyland is it was created by a sort of god, which was the embodiment of life. She then populated it with all sorts of crazy crap, and every last character living there is the embodiment of a different thing. Some are humanoid, but just as many of them are just weird creatures; in addition to the ones shown above, the embodiment of earth is a giant catfish that swims through the ground and the embodiment of art is an extremely emotive poorly-drawn notebook doodle. Embodiments of actual elements are very rare, they're mostly embodiments of random concepts. Also, they fight. A lot. Their way of resolving almost any minor conflict or getting to know new people is to just have a brawl with them. Considering that all of them have some sort of superpower related to what they're the embodiment of, this makes living in fantasyland very interesting. Also, general setting-wise, the whole place is sort of like a historic town in that there's no real technology and everyone has to do manual labor for things, and it's vaguely Asian in flavor.
Plotwise, the basic premise is that Abigail (the anglerfish girl) winds up in normal city and is captured, winds up kidnapping a dude named Collin and taking him to fantasyland, and eventually shit gets out of hand and snowballs until there's an all-out war between the two worlds at the end. Fuck I'm tired of writing this.

ENEMY

Enemy is my newest....thing. I don't know what to call it. I just suddenly decided HEY I KNOW I'LL DRAW THE CRAZIEST SHIT I CAN MUSTER and suddenly I had a new style and a bunch of characters.


So far the premise is the main character, Malach Giltine (the dude with the stitched-shut mouth and screws for eyes) is the son of a death god (or shinigami, for all you animu fans out there) . He comes to a big city place because it's full of bastards who like to cheat death, so he has to make sure that they all die when and how they're supposed to. Also, many of them are making deals with demons to preserve their life, so there's a fuckton of goblins and imps and shit skulking about behind the scenes.

I haven't really decided on much for many of these guys yet regarding their personalities and stuff, other than that Alec is A) The Dragon to the bigger villain (the evil little girl) and B) a terrifying psychopath who lives entirely for the amusement he derives from making people suffer in horrible ways.

Also, more doodles.

These dudes and the style are ridiculously fun to draw, so I might wind up making an actually decent picture or two for this story.

Help Me!

Help Me! wasn't my first story idea, but it was certainly the first one I had that wasn't a total pile of shit. The basic premise is that this big enigmatic purple cloud of a mysterious substance later labeled "Truth" swirls into a city and totally fucks everything up by transforming everyone into monsters based on their crippling personality flaws. Soon the whole city is deserted by humans in a desperate attempt to escape, leaving behind a gloomy, ruined city populated by bizarre monsters.


The story follows Collin Ampersand, a clueless, timid rich kid who gets abandoned by his asshole parents and gets turned into an uncannily adorable slime kid due to being a spineless homie. He then tries to figure shit out, go on a path of self-discovery, and generally try to survive long enough to escape a city filled with such creatures as murderous giant sperm and crying heads on wheels that explode when thoroughly distressed. I actually came up with a ton of monsters I really liked for this series, but never scanned the majority of them. I probably should sometime.




Almost every story idea I have ever had ends with what essentially amounts to a final boss battle. I can't help myself. The final boss this time is Desire, a giant monster living underneath the city that is basically every primal human urge and desire rolled into one, despite originally being human, like every other monster in the city. He's quite mad, and is only capable of saying "MORE," yet is the size of a Godzilla monster and capable of brainwashing other monsters into doing his every whim. Unlike most final bosses, he has little to no association with the rest of the story's events, only showing up at the end.

So, naturally, once Collin and his posse find the damn thing, they wind up provoking it and it emerges to wreck shit up. Every other monster in the city sees this, freaks out realizing that if they just keep on being self-indulgent monster bastards they'll become like that, and all team up to fight Desire in a climactic final brawl.
