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

last few #starwars #repcomm artworks

was into dishonored for 5 seconds due to Martin, that bastard.
(so my type) #mscfanart

was on the tail end of my #starwars #repcomm fandom run given the RP group broke up, but still have good memories with the book characters.

why is this ship so goddamn cute
(you can really see my romance taste even this early lol)
#starwars #repcomm

rp-ing #starwars #repcomm dears gave a lot of opportunity for imagining shenanigans

One of my favorite, favorite crackships from this series.
parja/vau, #starwars #repcomm

still drawing #zihark on tumblr around 2015 :)
#fetellius

why do i love this trash tier ship
almedha/ashnard, #fetellius

kind of like the idea of these two as a potentially-interested-but-ultimately-don’t-fit-with-each-other vibe, but still good friends. life’s like that.
#fetellius #zihark

#starwars #repcomm pieces while i was in the thick of rp'ing

another two #starwars #repcomm strips with rav, kal and vau, though a little more humorous.

right about this time (2014?) i started experimenting with comic strips and found i really loved the chance to think about body language and character interaction versus just contextless busts.

#starwars #repcomm ; rav bralor and kal skirata having a discussion.

had a surprisingly good time rolling through mass effect
#mscfanart

more #starwars #repcomm work while I was RPing with these characters.

i may have (crack) shipped parja/vau at one point with somebody. good times!
#starwars #repcomm

neon genesis evangelion work on tumblr... i may have shipped yui with everyone at one point. #mscfanart

#fetellius (and #fegen ) art with #zihark of course. two painted pieces were nagamas (pan-FE yule exchange) gifts.
