More Aliens

Ohhkay, alien dump coming right up.

Let's start out slow with some Seans and Jims. *cue appropriate music*

I still am not sure whether Jim or Sean is the main character. Maybe they both are. Maybe it depends on the person reading. Maybe I should finish writing the story before I start worrying about main characters.

Here's some figuring out sketches of Ondlae. It got me thinking more about how these aliens work in general.

So I drew some kid. He might be kid Ondlae, I'm not sure. Anyway, hnlue (that's them) are born with these tentacle things down their face and all over... but for centuries their custom has been to cut them off. It used to have tribal/societal meaning. Now it's more of a fashionable thing. Also hnlue are big on appearing as human as possible, so they usually get the face one's trimmed.

Also an old daente.

OKAY ENOUGH OF THIS HOW ABOUT A NEW CHARACTER? C:

His name is Aien. That's pronounced like you're describing a guy named Ian. "A Ian". He's a full daente, like Sean would be if his mom were less of a slut, and hugely into gaining civil rights for him and his species.

Err basically a big issue with this universe is that its different species have begun to interact relatively recently, and the problem that pops has to do with determining which peoples should be included in the formation of government and which are too primitive to handle it. Daente are somewhere in between... that is, they're not full citizens (only seven or so species qualify as full citizens, btw), but they're certainly considered sentient and treated as people (albeit stupid ones) more often than as animals. They're making progress, though. It was very recently made illegal through most of the galaxy to eat daento babies. Apparently they're very delicious.

Anyway, daente for the most part are content to remain separate from foreign society, but Aien and his weirdo daento friends want to be CITIZENS. D:

Race will kind of be a big-ish point in this story.

BTW, Sean is not a full citizen, although he could test to become one thanks to his human half. He just doesn't want to.

BLAB BLAB BLAB here's Aien without a shirt on. His markings are extremely feminine, I want to change them. :I

AND SOME HEIGHT COMPARISONS. Daente are pretty small, and Aien's the smaller breed of small. He's somewhere around four foot on the right there. Next to him is a lady who's probably one of Sean's siblings... they're a different race than Aien is and are bigger (also colored differently but you can't tell here lololol). And on the right is Sean looking probably as tall as he ever will; he's half the taller daento, and half human, so he mostly just looks like a sortashort human. c:

Yeah, I got really into the height thing, so I drew the shortest character with the tallest. Lol Nad you're huge.

NRRGH OKAY that's enough rambling for tonight.

hurr aliens

Ohhh maaaan been character designing like a mofo the last week or two. Sean universe characters. I've said this before, but every time a new character enters this universe they develop the plot A LOT. Check it.

yeah this was on my DA, but in blogland it comes with more DESCRIPTION :D

Initially the story is "Sean and Jim and sci fi". Then Hrguay (fourth, the lady alien) appears and brings with her different groups/races/families that inhabit their planet. Then Nad (third, tall guy) pops up an suddenly this meaningless universe has a PLOT. Walker (fifth, the beard) comes in and helps me to figure out who/what exactly the antagonist of this story is (hint: it's not anyone in this picture). And finally Ondlae arrives just a few days ago, and now the story has an ending.

I estimate I've got three or four more characters to go before this story is totally developed. c:

SO ANYWAY left to right is

Sean, Jim Maeda, Nadra (Nad) Liin, Absalom Hrguay, Asimov Walker, Mue Ondlae.

They're all varying levels of a "main" cast. They definitely won't be all of it.

I'm extremely fond of Ondlae atm because he's newest.

So I drew him with one of his hos.

So Mue Ondlae. "may" "ond-lay", but he's pretty used to it being mispronounced "on-duh-lay".

He's a young and ruthless crime boss, the first one to appear in and heavily impact YS-11 (that's where this story happens, it's a moon) in, like, half a century. He's very much the typical "new money" type; he likes expensive and often tasteless things and places and women. When he's not throwing money away he likes plotting to take over the universe. \o/

Also, he and his ho represent the two main races of their species. The long-tentacled ones (ho) are generally upper class while the short -tentacled (Ondlae) are generally lower. It has to do with the longs taking over the shorts aaages ago back when they first started interacting with other planets. SO you can't blame Ondlae quite so much for wanting to show off his money. CB

I'll get up the drawings in my sketchbook soon, and blab about some other characters. However, it is now 2 am and i probably should go to sleep.

That meme

I guess I'm never going to finish this

Seans and Slugs

Doing homework is for squares. Today I'm gonna write blog posts and deconstruct my New Moon lunchbox so I can put my color supplies in it. CB

Here's pieces of a Sean dump and pieces of a Slug dump.

Sean kind of made a name for himself in the killing business just by being an alien. Part alien admittedly, but still. I'm not sure how long he kept dressing like one yet.

...

what the hell is he holding...?

Realized the other day I've never drawn any of his siblings. They don't play much a part in his story but still. He's the youngest of, like, twelve or thirteen, btw.

Nerrrrr. Sometimes I just have to draw Sean being sad (aka younger) once so I can go back to drawing him being a dick. That's basically what this dump was. He looks so dumb with short hair.

See, doesn't he look so much better with that fluffy mess? c:

It's very important to Sean that you understand that he is half human.

Hi Slug. I see you have boobs thar. And bullet holes. Those too.

This is from a slightly older dump (can't remember if I did it at Ringling or at home...) in which I learned how to draw hoods. Considering this has been something that's troubled me since EVER, that's kind of a big deal.

These are the jokes

I mean the art.

"Ehh... he's good at smashing things...?"

"Nothing. He's an ass."

In other news, I'm FINALLY getting decent at drawing Jim. JESUS I STRUGGLED FOR A YEAR AND AN OCT AND I FINALLY GET IT DOWN IN A MEME WTH.

Ra ra ah ah ah roma roma ma ga ga oh la la

I like Nad because he brought plot to Sean's world and Lady GaGa to Sean's playlist. CB

"Wow, cool! I didn't think you'd actually LIVE through that!"

The words that founded the JimSean bromance. How sweet.

OH HI JEREMY.

I've been messing around trying to figure a good style to do comics for BA in. Should I actually do it. Which maybe I won't. Maybe.

So happy with that nose.

DIGI....VOLUTION

I think that's a good way to describe my art progress. Uh.

I would feel like a douche bag putting this on DA. Like. Reposting art. Mega lame. HOWEVER it was interesting for me, and this page is pretty much for all the stuff I don't want on my DA, SOOOO.

I tried to leave out as much Spire stuff as possible but. Like. That was a huge chunk of the year. I'm not sure that I really got much better over that time... well. Wait. I know I got better, I learned a lot of shit. But. The drawings themselves. Didn't change much. Biggest change on that bottom line, aka when I went to art college. Also when I decided to stop using color, apparently.

It bugs me that I had to put AP piece in May, partly cuz I wanted to keep it cartoon-centered, but mostly since I'm pretty sure I didn't draw it in May, but it was all from may in my DA gallery and I don't have any old art in this computer. SO.

THIS DOESNT FIT THE BLOG THEME. ITS NOT CHARACTER STUFF. OH WELL.

Feb, March, June, and July aren't my characters.

ART

So. Like. I could be working on my drawing homework. But. I'm not really feeling it. And, generally when I don't feel like doing homework, I WRITE A BLOG POST. \o/

Heeee~~ been drawing with pens, lately. I got a skinny one and now I'm ink-happy. CB

So I drew a page full of Seans moving without restricting myself with things like logic or physics (because that's pretty much the definition of easy drawing for me) and then inked a bunch of them. EXCITEMENT.

I think the city I drew for drawing class is going to be where Sean and Jim live. There's Sean jumping off a building with a lightsaber. Fuck. Yeah.

(Also, I was listening to Paper Planes)

That's not a scanner fuck up, that's the edge of the pages. :|

AND NOW FOR THE FANCHARACTERS

They won't leave me alone as of late. I really gotta do something with them. Maybe a comic. Somehow I think I can motivate myself better to drawing a comic than to writing a fic. Plus. It's more worthwhile.

Anyway, a page of Elles. Was inspired by listening to Flogging Molly, tee hee hee. The one at the top with the floppy hair is him when he was younger... like, thirty I think?... with his GIRLFRIEND. Who dumps him cuz he's a coward HA HA.

Still gotta work on drawing him properly.

Aaaand here's some first sketches of some characters. Carnet's the lady with the proportions that don't make sense because I can't draw women. She... in her preDesian days lead a gang-thing of half-elf ladies. The sketchychibi girlies on top are some of her ex-followers/fangirls.

And the dude at the bottom is a very very first sketch of her boyfriend, who's name is Ayres and who is not nearly as badass as Carnet is. He was not a gang leader. In fact, I'm not even sure he even ever lived with humans. Hang on. I'll check. Oh. Lawl. He's from the same half-elf town as Elles. He's also quite old. SO LIKE I WROTE DOWN HOW OLD EVERYONE WAS AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM DON'T LAUGH AT ME. I like making up half-elf ages because they can pretty much be whatever the fuck I want. :>

FFFF WAIT. THIS ISN'T ORIGINAL. THIS. THIS IS TRUE FANART.

(left to right, top to bottom is Rodyle, Kvar, Kvar, Pronyma, Magnius, Kvar again, Forcystus. I didn't invent them)

Gotta learn to draw the Grand Cardinals if I'm gonna make a comic about Desians. Kvar's become the most fun, although I'm still not quite happy. I'd think he'd be in it most, seeing as how all the main characters are from his ranch, but he... dies. :/ Dammit, Lloyd.

I guess Forcystus will do the most. His hair irritates me... i liked the drawing so much better without the hair. xD Annnnd yeah Rodyle and Magnius won't be in it much at all. Magnius dies elsewhere in the first chapter. Dunno bout Pronyma, but I RUHEALLY need to learn to draw her properly. ffffailboat.

Nrrr I still don't really feel like drawing. Nrgh. Ngh. Nugh. FFFF.

A quick one while he's away

Spiiiiiiiiire

Colleeeeeeeege

Artsssssssss...

I kill them. All of them.

So when it comes to me and my relationship with my characters, there are two things that I should probably share.
One, I recycle them LIKE CRAZY. AT LEAST fifty percent of my children exist in more than one universe. Usually as side characters, you know, or even just background people who barely exist, but sometimes they can play bigger roles. Sean, for example, is a main character in his own universe and a big ole antihero in another. Oh, and they almost always travel in groups... Seth and Mikey, Jeremy and Tycho, etc. This is just what I do.
And two, I LOVE TO KILL THEM. And this... lead me to evalutation. Of just how likely my kids are to get dead in a new universe. And here it is.



First up, group one. The immortals.

These guys are completely denied the right to die. They always come in pairs, the second being much more likely to die than them. They always live in order for me to make them unhappy.

First, Jeremy, who... actually really IS immortal, and whose immortality I use to break his heart over and over again. :>

Next is Seth. Okay, okay, so I actually do have Seth's death planned... but it doesn't occur until AFTER EVERYBODY HE CARES ABOUT DIES. Seriously, it's like the pinky swear thing. Befriending this boy WILL GET YOU DEAD. <3

Ishmael. Ishmael kills and then hates himself for it. Ishmael's beloved dies. Ishmael's friends betray him. And Mandi makes him live through and beyond the whole thing. >3 (actually, this afternoon I started to ACTUALLY FEEL KIND OF BAD FOR THE POOR KID. I might let him suicide in the end. Considering it.)

And Jim. Weeeell... Jim's just a tool who I refuse to kill until he learns to stand on his own two feet, dammit.

And now group two... the unlikelys.

Well, these guys I keep alive usually but not always, and generally for different reasons than the immortals, who I just love to make miserable. A lot of my characters fit into this category, but I don't think I should mention EVERYONE ._.

Tee... well, to an extent I keep him alive to feel guilty about being an asshole. But also I let him live because, generally, he changes and sort of starts over in a less assholey life.

Claudio can play two roles. The strong-hearted victim who keeps on truckin', or the martyr. Usually I like the former, though, because it makes all the adults he interacts with feel like losers. >3

Pippin is a rare case among my characters. Pippin I keep alive because I like her too much to rid the world of her adorable silliness. That's all. <33

And Killian, even though logically he should be long dead, I keep alive because he's occasionally suicidal, and his reasons are dumb, therefore I won't let him do it right. On the other hand, when he appears in universes besides his own he often plays a sort of filler (a guy who gets eaten by zombies... a kid for when my other gays need something to fuck), and I'm much more willing to kill him then.

Now, we move on to the much more likelies.

These guys? Yeaahhh, I'll probably kill them, unless I can come up with a really really good reason not to. There are many many more in this category as well, but I only listed a few. You may notice, most of them have a friend up in the immortals...

Sean. Because in the end, he always finds himself in a situation where he's completely doomed, at which point he says "NO ONE GETS TO KILL ME BUT ME" and kills himself. :/ Also I have some gorgeous death scenes planned for him in which he gets shot in the head, usually. <33

Siiiinclaire. Is too opinionated and headstrong to ever CHANGE, and therefore must DIE. Usually killed by friends or people they trusted.

Tycho, one of my rare "good people", which will generally get them killed. Leaving behind a very unhappy immortal boyfriend.

And Constantine, who generally learns to trust or to chill or to hate less just hours before his death. Which is frusterating and sad... but also kind of cool because he dies rather happier than he lived. His Shaun I didn't draw, but he'd be up with the likelies.

And, finally...

We have Mikey, who dies in every single universe I put him in. And he's not just in two or three stories. Mikey happens to hold a place in my heart as absolute favorite, and so he's reincarnated EVERYWHERE. Let's see... he's eaten by zombies, hit by a truck, murdered a few times, oh zombie infected and thus shot in the head... Throughout his entire main story, he's only alive in flashbacks.

No, really. He is my favorite.

I don't get it either.

Is this sadism?

I'm not sure. But GAWD do I enjoy it.

a text conversation

So I drew this. Then I took a picture on my phone and texted it to lindsay, at which point we exchanged a conversation through text messaging over who would win the battle that would follow this scene - Sean or Killian's ex-gangster buddy Harper. I was amused, I copied it down, and here it is.


SEAN SHOULD NOT RAPE KILLIAN! THIS IS BAD. SOMEONE WILL DIE.

SOMEONE INDEED, BUT WHO?

IM NOT SURE!

EITHER WAY KILLIAN IS LEFT IN QUITE THE UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION

How would he react? I mean, he doesn't want to be sodimized, but he also doesn't want anyone murdered.

Killian is very good at being understanding of those who do him wrong. That said, he prolly would be rather unhappy with sean

And while he doesn't want sean dead, I'm sure harper is higher on his "plz don't die, srsly" list

Plus, harper probably wouldn't look for kill's permission before murdering sean

Uh, no. No. however he maay feel a twinge of guilt for killian after the fact

Kill wouldn't be too heartbroken if sean's mangled corpse were found in a dumpster weeks later.

Good to know.. What about days later? hours? moments?

However, seand prolly just kill killian right there. Also in a battle to the death, seans got a jim and all harper has is a killian

No way, sean would be a challenge, a possibly not won challenge, but jim would be dead before harper even found out whether or not killian was okay. the man can't even dodge knives in his sleep. puh-leeze.

Ooh, thatd piss sean off. only HE can stab jim while hes asleep!

Well it looks like we have a pretty intense battle here. Harper has many years of rage, plus the h-is-so-angry-i-cant-even-think-of-a-metaphor rage of someone even thinking about possibly touching killian even WITH consent.

Which there was not. and sean has... an extra decade of experience killing people and irritation at losing his jim

Yeah man. Dude this sucks. I'm have a lot of faith in seans assassin abilities, and harper would probably lose, but he would pu up a hell of a fight. Sean would be pretty bloody. And jim-less.

Not really worth the killian rape, in the end. hes gotta plan his sexual offenses more carefully

O sean.

Just for the sake of seeing what shit does

SO. Here's some arts.

Constantine is upset, shockingly. Also I reveal some of his key personality traits. :

Sean, youse a scary sonnuva bitch.

Tee and his freckles. Still haven't figured out how to make his hair not suck.

Sean was a shockingly normal kid, really, save for perhaps a slight inferiority complex and that his father was not the man who was married to his mother.
