Mental Apocalypse

Reminds me of this saying in a novel I used to read as a kid (when I say novel I mean script for Chinese melodramatic historical romance drama thing), roughly translated its “defeathering the bird hurts the bird’s bones, ripping out the leaves from the vine makes the vines move”.

Only much more poetic and it rhymes in Chinese.

Gawww imma cry.

1:00 — Chinese cover of “Leaves from the Vine”. Lyrics and transliteration here. Everything is a literal translation from the original English except for this part:
wǒ de xiǎo yǒngshì
My little warrior

xiàng jiā mài bù
March towards home

yǒnggǎn de háizi
Brave child

zǒu huí jiā de lù
Take the road home

Can I be attracted to people for once

Not paintings

or comic book spreads

Please

Or historical figures because of their paintings

Johan Christiansen Dahl you slay me with your landscapes whyyyyy

Stuff I stressed over when drawing this image:
-Who sits next to who. I actually did a lot of research for this. Sorry if I’ve gotten something wrong:)
-Where to have it. I wasn’t sure how realistic Central Park was, but I thought it would look the best.
-Aurora’s dress design. Wanted it to evoke her costume, but not to a silly degree. Tricky line to walk.
-The fit of Northstar’s suite. Something slim cut and stylish.
-And the flower arrangements. Never had to draw those before and I really wanted them to be realistic. Good arrangements are more complicated than they look.

I posted more about this cover on my blog. Thanks.

Perfect art is perfect.

holy shit, i love all of these! and all the ideas too ;o;

;_; you like these omg

-latches onto you and never lets go-

I have like, no confidence in character design. Did I make them iconic enough? Do they suffer from the Only Six Faces syndrome? Does it reflect their character? Are they different from the other characters in the universe? Are they believable? AKSHDREBGVWEIGUHI -ded-

Thank youuuuuu ;_;

Story credit goes mostly to my telepathic twin.

I need to start a tag called “I’m an asshole to my characters” tag. All designs are subject to heavy remodelling/evolution once these things get rolling.

1st: If I ever start on the epic urban fantasy kitchen sink idea, that’s going to be the ~~obvious author avatar~~ one of the minor characters. Has the ability to be omniscient within a 2 km radius. Works as a reporter, and is travelling constantly in search of reasons for this ability. Hates everyone equally. Character subject to heavy redesign, probably.

2nd: Totally different project, android/human hybrid SOPHIA. Engineered as killing machine capable of superhuman thought, broke out of containment in order to search out a distance star system while avoiding getting captured by android prototype, ANGEL.

3rd: ditto. Ely, an information technician, and Ferrah, a mechanic. Ely has an eye that connects to the internet, while Ferrah has a mechanical hand that conceals much equipment. The real eye/hand are lost in the same accident.

4th: Yet another universe. Minor (very very very minor) not character/hallucination of one of the characters that gets destroyed because of reasons. Probably will be scrapped once production begins but I’m fond of the character design.
