some #hellsing work across 2021

 

SO LONG SENTIMENT - a ‘what if?’ of #fetellius #zihark and micaiah’s confrontation over daein’s choice as a nation. crossposted on Ao3

been dying to see this confrontation for literal decades so i suppose i had to take matters into my own hands.

2020 #hellsing holiday card to my doujin circle. i (like most people) had a pretty terrible 2019-2020 but things got better after.

got into FEH mid 2020, took a stab at drawing #zihark with the standard gacha poses before he got in.

so this freaking delicious eirika/valter fic awoke my id from the GRAVE it was so good. 2021 or so

had a lot of fun with logos for #original projects in mid 2020

LUCID - a #hellsing zine

first zine completed, and being prepped for printing. happy to send this one off given it was started August (2019) and has a lot of ghosts with it. I was listening to an old favorite song from the soundtrack of the Brave Little Toaster and it makes me think about the type of horror that I love. Not as a genre, but the undercurrent you sometimes sense in certain media. Not even as a scene, scare, plot beat, or tacky symbolism – it’s a subtle peculiar lived-in horror of the id that’s most potent through poetry or lyrics. That sing-song (silent scream) aching familiarity you sometimes feel in your bones and makes old skeletons rattle.

That movie and hellsing has a lot in common there.

old #hellsing strip.

part of a #ironcrown scene i started coloring and never finished

some of the better #ironcrown patreon posts (back when I had one)

 

guess who made an appearance again~
#fetellius #zihark

#hellsing is a very serious show about a traumatized vampire and his vampire hunter master, clearly.

last few #ironcrown doodles i did. still kinda want to do that mousepad not gonna lie.

last of the #ironcrown character sheets, Joanna. comic's free to read online here



As the patron saint of guns, gold, and gin, she’s the unofficial vodka aunt demon consultant and sniper that Isandar calls in for challenging jobs, or when she needs a surgical strike.  Brutally competitive and lives for the hunt, Joanna doesn’t care how much she needs to get her hands dirty as long as it’s in the name of her one mission in life – killing said demons.

While also abrasive, cynical, and foul-mouthed (to put it mildly) outside the job, she has an amusing quirk of giving nicknames to everyone in the crew – Tango promptly took her given nickname from the day they met, which solidified their friendship mostly based on explosions (and salt).  Only Isandar knows anything about her before being a sniper-for-hire, but there’s a decent amount of speculation of her unusual familiarity with the Judges and how they operate.  Then again, that just may have to do with their shared efficiency of purifying the margins of the world from the unholy monsters.

#hellsing work around 2017 or so, when i was posting to twitter

note to self: never call a ship a crackship for your own IP. it, in fact, will not remain a crackship

more fun warmups & concept art for #ironcrown
(comic is free to read here )

action layout/pacing warmup for #ironcrown
noodling with some (very abbreviated) scenarios about how/why they’d fight, even if this doesn’t actually happen in the main story.

Realized I haven’t done proper introductions of this cast for #ironcrown - let’s fix that!
(comic is free to read here )



Starting off with our lead, Diane Weiss.  Stubborn, suspicious, temperamental, two-faced, and stubborn again - she’s a gryffindor heart deep (very, very deep) in a slytherin mind.

Diane’s painfully aware of the spotlight on her as the daughter of the Butcher, and mistrusts strangers due to everyone and their pet hamster attempting to curry favors from a seemingly less intimidating personality.  (they learn.)  She also gets a bad habit of using other people as tools without a shred of doubt - that and his paranoia are two in a long list of similarities they share.

On the other hand, her one redeeming side is she’s a sucker for backing the underdog or fixing an unjustice that crosses her path (someone else being misused, for example) (the hypocrisy is strong in this one) - and has zero problem throwing a considerable amount of sheer willpower in solving it, even if it means declaring war on an empire without a scrap of bread to her name.

(Which she, of course, does.  Because why not.)

After her homeland’s in flames due to her father being a shithead, and she’s on the run - mercenary Commander Isandar takes her under the wing and is a much better fit for Diane, authority issues and all.  Those two (plus a certain … ah, smarmy demon … ) end up quite the power-trio through the story.

Continuing the #ironcrown character ref sheets - here’s Commander Isandar!
(comic is free to read here )



Calm and pragmatic with a voice like a foghorn - she’s led the Iron Crown Brigade for decades and is a familiar -and feared- sight at the Imperium’s warring borders. Ambivalent about many of her clients (and the few journalists  that interview her), she nonetheless holds a strong moral code - likewise with her crew, who remain fiercely loyal even despite facing suicidal contracts and hordes of Fell (demons).  The pay’s worth it, they say.

Isa’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie, too - thankfully Joanna’s usually there to talk her out of the wilder schemes (as the freelance ‘Fell consultant’ and off-and-on girlfriend).  (One of those involved several gunships, a crate of melons, and half the Imperium treasury.  Don’t ask.)

about this time, i was starting to work on a lot of #ironcrown concept art, since i was pitching the webcomic to a publisher. you can read the comic here online for free

more vaguely nsfw timeskip!integra/alucard because krad is weeb garbage

(this was the post that made me realize i needed a separate artblog for nsfw at the time lol) #hellsing

really started getting into integra/alucard as a ship about this time - 2016 or so? they eventually were the two #hellsing characters who got me to start drawing NSFW art too.

i will be drawing #zihark until the actual heat death of the universe
#fetellius

I always wondered how integra knew her vampire servant could survive, y’know, everything…

#hellsing - also crossposted on Ao3!

right about 2015 or so i started getting back into #hellsing

 

“And it’s always weighted.”
Naesala noodlin’.  This entire cast was an utter gift. #fetellius
