Ohuhu alcohol markers, Copic fineliners and white Gelly Roll pen on Canson marker paper
My absolute favorite visual from the 01 shows was Simone and the boxy 2000s computer they wheeled onto the stage for this song. Iā€™ve been wanting to do art of it for a while.

Transitus Comic Studies
These were meant to be colored but alas. Faulty art supplies. Still like these sketches though! Theyā€™re lifted from the OG comic book. The idea was to only use direct poses and scenes from the source material and try to infuse some more productive character design into them.
Focus on status of a given character (and changes in it) and some stronger air of historical reference, kept as far away from my own personal head canons of the characters and their backstories as possible.
Really had fun with these. Great figure practice āœļø
#ayreon#transitus#art#tldr of the essay these came with that ill never post:#Danielā€™s character is extremely static and he never develops#him looking more and more middle class looking the further he strays from his family and home could help that along a bit#Abby is hypersexualized to no justifiable end and it makes her horrifying story arc a lot harder to take seriously#the progressive loss of structure in her funeral dress could mirror her mental state in act II and have a parallel with Daniel in Act I#Henry is well designed but heā€™s not communicating the type of asshole that he actually is#hes manipulative and careful and purposefully physically removed from the awful shit he does#heā€™s obsessed with upholding his own and by extension his familyā€™s reputation and thus has the most incentive to look pristine + respectabl#also too hats arenā€™t worn indoors thatā€™s like a basic etiquette thing#Lavinia is a downright racial stereotype in an album telling you not to judge people by that sort of thing#in addition she drags every other characterā€™s writing down with her nonsense motivations and gimmicks#at the very least take away the g*psy persona#Abrahamā€¦doesnā€™t have enough canon info to get any sort of informed design in there#but the belt he has in the comic wasnā€™t invented until the 1920s#it wouldnā€™t have killed Arjen to add a location for this story either#sketch#character design#character study#1880s#Victorian era#gilded age#belle Ć©poque#historical fashion#concept album#rock opera#arjen lucassen

absolutely love the George/Bertha dynamic where they are very good for each other but toxic to anyone else. when i call them a toxic couple i don't mean they are dysfunctional or unhappy i mean they are enabling each other's crusade against the rest of the world

Never have I ever drawn five full pages of really solid character studies only to start coloring and realize that the paper has the weirdest possible reaction to alcohol markers, in that the ink solidifies over the paperā€™s surface, creating a glossy texture that makes it impossible to go over in pencil or blend colors correctly.
This one came out okay, though. OG comic panel by Felix Vega (right).

Guess who got a new sketchbook!
It's my favourite type - small ā˜ŗļø (12X12 centimetres)! I shall make a birthday resolution to bring one of those on my travels more often just in case inspiration hits...

Decided against sharing ā€œbitchy Transitus character design notes by Maggieā€ because ā€œeverything deserves rounded criticismā€ is actually a really stupid argument in regards to a silly concept album only ten people like, most of which will probably see that post and just be really bummed out after reading. And I donā€™t have to, so.
Still have the comic redraw sheets though. Here are some Henryā€™s Iā€™ll color later:

ā€¦being an asshole on main it is, I guess. Stand by.
Okay Iā€™m kind of on the fence here, I wanna do an essay/critique on Transitusā€™ (Ayreon) character design but Iā€™m not sure how to format it.
The second one, keep in mind, would be much longer and infinitely more bitchy. Like almost every piece negative feedback I have on the albumā€™s story and visuals rolled into one. Seems like overkill but itā€™s the only way I feel I can get my point across. Which is why Iā€™m asking šŸ«”
