Wherein Jean Babbles About Writing and Art

On the subject of Kelly and her tattoos, here's a couple concept sketches from a while ago:

Spoiler: hands!

Older vs younger Kelly hands

More (old) pictures of my characters! This time, Hexaba and Rahim:

Spoiler: maybe I should revisit ink...

 

A brief summary of my characters Aarav and Aniyah's relationship (from back before I decided what Aarav's name is).

Spoiler: aroace shenanigans (little comic with transcript)

Transcript:
An: Shit, we're cornered.
Aa: Did they get a good look at us earlier?
An: No,
Aa: Okay, then--
(*kissing*)
Guard: ...
An & Aa: *smooching intensifies*
Guard: ...Just a couple of teenagers. Move on.
Door: thump closed
Aa: Bleh!
An: Ew. Gross. (to the side: Eeeew)
Aa: I think I'm traumatized.
An: That was the NASTIEST thing you've ever talked me into.
Aa: Wow, offensive.
An: Fuck you.
Aa: Ew, no.
An: Pff.
Aa: Did it work?
An: Looks like.
Aa: Also, teenagers? I'm twenty-four!
An: You're baby-faced. Deal with it.
Aa: See if I ever kiss you again.
An: Ha! You wish.

 

Working with charcoal is incredibly frustrating.

Spoiler: bleh.

 

Why yes I am posting a bunch of art at three in the morning because I can't sleep, why do you ask?

 

Man those tattoo concepts are intense

 

She was in a lot of pain for quite some time.

 

Under extreme duress, Kelly can dissolve herself into her magic and become a... obscurus parallel? Sort of? Not quite, but that's the easiest way for me to describe it. She won't do it unless it's the only option left, though, because the chances of her being able to pull herself back together afterwords are... so-so.

Spoiler: pic

This is my second serious marker attempt, so I'm inclined to forgive it a lot.

 

Here's the first picture I ever drew of Kelly, and it's still my favorite. You can see a little of her personality, and I am very proud of the shading. Especially on her hair.

Spoiler: Kelly

Yeah, her last name was originally Rouseau. Then I realized that her father being Indian, that makes no sense.

 

So I decided that since I'm drawing one little cousin a mythical creature, I should draw my other little cousin (from that side of the family) a mythical creature as well.

And goddamn, drawing animals is hard.

 

I dunno, should a half-tiefling have horns?

Done entirely in marker, no pencil outlines at all.

 

from my tumblr:

everyone should talk to me about this!

 

On the subject of TAZ, here's a young Lucretia!

Spoiler: big image

 

Another fanfanfic doodle. In a parallel to canon, the Taako of this universe once fought off an attacker while severely concussed by pointing his wand at them and slurring “abracaFUCKYOU”. Because of course he did.

 

I should maybe spend more time researching the stuff I need to for this fic and less drawing fanart for it.

Spoiler: Wizards IN SPACE verse Taako

 

I wrote some!

 

I finished my tiny watercolor voidfish!

 

I love it!
