just motivating myself:

it's JUST 30 drawings.

not even FULL drawings. more like sketches really. with a bit of shading.

you got this.

you got all day to work on it (kinda).

like let's say it takes you 15 minutes to do a clean lil sketch.

15 x 30 = 450 minutes = 7.5 hours

that's not even a full work day!

you can DO IT!!!!

just probably get some caffeine in you or something. (yeah i KNOW you get caffeine anxiety but you also helps you lock-in so it's like pros and cons my dude)

maybe you should time yourself to see how long those sketches will actually end up being bc you might be screwed if it takes you longer than 15.

HEY on the bright side, you actually can subtract like 3-5 of those drawings bc you're basically reusing 2 drawings a couple times.

anyway get back to work instead of procrastinating. you have somewhere to be in like an hour and you motivating yourself is cutting into the not quite full day you have to work on this.

now SHOO!!!!

Simon is the embodiment of failure.

I learnt very quickly to not side with Simon, like at all. I can't recall a time when a good thing happened when you went with his idea. If you side with him and Josh in Spare Parts, you only get a limited supply of biocomponents compared to when you side with North, or siding with him and North when deciding on what to do with John leads to the group being chased out of the warehouse, and later if Markus goes pacifist, his own death. Simon doesn't make many calls in the Stratford Tower except 2 if you go pacifist, telling Markus to leave him behind to die and asking Markus to not shoot him. In Freedom March his solution is by far the worst: turning on their heels and running away. And in Cross Paths he tells Markus that North is a lost cause and to leave her to die. These are all his choices that he suggests (from what I can remember), and they all have horrible turnouts.

Simon has good intentions, all he wants is for him and his people to be free, and he's surprisingly reckless with his own life to do so. Despite being careless with his own life, when others are in trouble, he has a hard time taking risks even if it will better his people's life quality. He values the life of his people above all, if an act will cause harm to them, he is hesitant to do it, this prevents him from doing the things he may or may not want to do.

Simon starts out a cautious person, him being in Jericho for 2 years not leaving or making it any better proves that enough (there's literally dismantled corpses piled up on one another in the main room, if they needed to dispose of them all they had to do was dump them off into the ocean, I think most of them were too scared to even go outside). That skittishness did a lot more harm against Jericho than good. His decisions, no matter how good-willed, are what kept Jericho back. His opinion, due to his age, was respected amongst Jericho. While I don't know if he was the leader (idk where that came from tbh) or if Jericho even had a leader but it's clear people respect Simon enough to go along with what he thought was right. Evidently he often isn't. He tries his best with what he's given, dissembling his friends to serve another's or his own needs, but it isn't enough, and Jericho without Markus is destined to rust and fall apart.

Simon is stupidly selfless, I think that held him back from a lot because he couldn't make sacrifices and we see that he is able to with the Cross Paths with North scene but he hates to. If someone shut down naturally, he'd feel less guilty compared to if he made an active decision that would put them in jeopardy. Although I do think his beliefs stem from a place of empathy rather than guilt. He is the one character in the game that isn't an antagonist that, if you mainly listen to, does more harm than good, and that reflects a lot on what Jericho was like before Markus: people doing the best they can but ultimately failing.

Simon is neutral in the way that he doesn't mind violence or care that much about humans, but he has his own opinion outside of pacifism or violence, he wants as many of his people to survive as possible. He understands that it won't gain their freedom but isn't willing to pay the price of their blood. Honestly, I think his indecisiveness on what path to go is from a place of insecurity. I don't think Simon trusts himself at all with big decisions, and he doesn't want blood to be on his hands if (when) his plans fail. So, he grows dependent on Markus to make decisions.

He believes whatever Markus decides will lead them to victory, he is the key to lock that he's been hopelessly picking at for years. If Markus dies in Freedom March, he'll say, “Markus would know what to do” in the meeting during Cross Roads. He really thinks that Markus has the answers to the questions that's he's been banging his head against. I think it's because of that little push in Spare Parts. We see how happy he is when they accomplish their mission, jogging ahead of the group to announce the news, or if they fail to get enough parts, his mouth is agape as he listens to Markus’ speech despite Markus' failure. He has so little hope that even a slight glimmer of light makes him desperately believe it'll glow bright, and he's going to do everything he can to help it glow. Since, nothing he's ever done has even come close to creating that spark because Simon is meant to symbolise the mass, he is a follower pretending to be a leader.

I didn't have anywhere to put this:

Simon learns to take risks over the course of the story, each mission being one of them, but the thing he gets careless with the most is his own life, he can die 13 different ways throughout the game, 10 because of player consequences and 3 sacrifices (technically they're all player consequences, but oh well). Most of them are different variations of each other, but nearly all of them are because Simon was reckless.

A lot of time has passed since the last art

sorry :(

Silly Connor sketch I colored mmmm

Mayhaps I'll draw something more polished eventually lol

[starryeyedstray]

For @aghostinmyownmachine!

[starryeyedstray]

They <3

Shes coloured because shes real, unlike him. The only time his coloured is when he feels human. But anywho, this took me alot of thinking and revisions. Im not very experienced with Comics so I took alot of inspiration with the storytelling style from Veil by Kotteri. Because its one of my favourites next to TBHK (when I was a kid.) I hope this suffices, I will be posting these sort of stuff more and releasing Spanish and Russian translations as popular request and maybe french from private requests. I hope youll like them as much as I do, this is just a personal project for fun before summer ends.

Not canon It's just that I imagined again one of my favourite scenarios of Hank being much more hateful in relation to Connor. Just turning him into a scapegoat to scream all his frustrations at. Not thinking of him like a person but still trying to degrade him as if only for some sense of power and control in an otherwise helpless position of being unable to change the world around him but just witness its rapid decay. And Connor just not reacting to it for the longest time at all. Maybe responding something but overall seeming unaffected by it in any way that could be classified as "personal" or "emotional", any way that "counts", only escalating the degree of Hank's frustration with it all, for the lack of this personal reaction causes a situation where all this cursing and aggression doesn't bring Hank ANY satisfaction. Only reminds him more of his helplessness. But then there may come a day, Connor starts mirroring Hank's anger back at him. Not necessarily out of any personal malice but because that's what he does, reflects back. But that's a new development and so Hank gets unnerved with it, enough to share his anxiety with Perkins (in my AU they both have to interact with Connor, though not so much with each other. And Hank spends much more time with Connor than Richard does)

Hank just mentions Connor being really hostile and wondering whether he's been behaving a little "off" when he's with Richard too, but Richard sizes him with some concern and goes:

"Talk to an empty room long enough, and with enough time alone with it, you may eventually hear it respond. In your words and voice, that is, but with enough delay and distortion to trick a fool, like an animal unable to recognise its reflection in the mirror--for the lack of intelligence or experience, maybe both-- and growing all big and scary to intimidate it," he chuckles, "I heard the effort isn't totally pointless — some succeed, and the enemy flees in panic."

"Happens often to you?" Hank sneers.

"Not at all," something like a pitiful smile crosses his face. "I go outside. As for your case -- say something nice."

"I didn't ask for advice."

"You're right, you were begging for it."
