finished au crosshairs art & talking about the stranded au

continuing from this post! want to start reading? here!

w/ the text and then-

no text! finally, he's all colored and pretty!

anyway, i know this idea is a bit niche and weird but i’ll talk about it here:

the fuck is this idea, mal!?

you don’t have to shout :(

but in summary: the stranded crosshairs au takes place after an alternate timeline in age of extinction (2014) where lockdown + cemetery wind was successful in nerfing almost all decepticons and autobots on earth. lockdown does not get defeated and humans are still assholes, yippie! crosshairs, being crosshairs, nopes the fuck out when optimus prime gets captured and executed— and drift comes with, because literally everyone else is dead… including the yeagers :( i’m sorry, but the government would kill them all.

the two are on the run in space for a couple months or years, but they get inevitably captured by lockdown and— oop! that’s all i’ll say about that.

this incident ends up with crosshairs’ spark being transported via a tear in the well of allsparks and he wakes up in the rid 2015 universe!

ohh okay okay.. but what about crosshairs himself?

crosshairs, in the live action movies, is a fucking jerkwad arse lmao and i know it. due to story reasons, his behavior is mellowed out and he’s not as obnoxious (we still need rid15 sideswipe to be that #1 nuisance) or violent. he hung out with drift for years alone in the middle of space, he picked up a few things!

well, not as violent towards other bots i mean. after cemetery wind back in his own world, he is distrusting of humans to a lethal degree (rip danny and russell) and hates being touched. i wont get into too many specifics, but just know he’s a tired, blunt bastard that just wants to sleep all day (it’s the depression and chronic attachment issues).

he starts off alone in the story but gets picked up into the bee team (against his will).

other info!

i’m happy to answer any questions about anything in this au (characters, relationships, story, etc) via the ask box. i like answering questions <3 other comments and concerns are also not minded :)

also! design wise— because i love designing things and talking about design choices— below is how i’d imagine the parachutes to work. i wanted to keep the paratrooper aspect of his original character since i liked how unique it was!

i hope it makes sense, because it was funny to draw.

i had fun drawing that, it’s silly.

and that’s all i got for now! here is my current poster for this au— in color and black/white! since i’m planning on it being a little comic thing with some writing (maybe).

Marina Abramović - Artist Study

Photos from Rhythm 0, a famous 6 hour-long performance art piece done by Marina Abramović in which she lay out a table of 72 items and instruments and stood to let her audience to whatever they wanted to her, with or without said instruments.

A rose, honey, and perfume sat on the same table as scissors, a scalpel, a gun and a bullet. Beginning tamely, the audience offered her a rose or a kiss on the cheek. By the third hour, her clothes were all cut off, and her neck was cut so that someone might drink her blood. This was the audiences' reaction to her performance, an escalation of audacity and confidence.

Rhythm 0 is a prime example of an interesting reaction to art, and one that I find particularly inspiring. This form of reaction is inflicted, and I would focus on that idea.

Happy October!

Today, I had my voice class. We were asked to bring in a song to practice singing in front of a group. I chose a song called Die Elche (the elk/elkherds). I've sung it before in middle school but not in German and definitely not in my new vocal range. Everyone liked it, and I plan on working on it for the concert at the end of the semester. Everyone else that went did super well, and I kinda want to ask if a couple can sing the other two harmonies with me. We also worked on our ensemble/choral pieces. I was having a good voice day and was able to help out the altos since their highest note was my overall limit. My throat is a bit sore from the falsetto though...

I'm currently waiting for the Zoom meeting for entertainment law to open. We're doing a midterm review since the test is next week. I feel pretty confident about it, but there's some concepts I definitely need brushing up on.

Gonna end this here since the meeting should start soon. Here's my notes on the pipeline process for concept dev for animation 🧡

Exploring different ideas in relation to crystals under the theme of assembly. Delving deeper into different features of quartz in particular, connecting crystals > glass > mirrors. Simple concepts were discovered to broaden the likelihood of more complex ideas.

Hi gang here are some of my illegible world building notes and doodles. I like them but I think to most people it’s just a lot of nonsense lmao

following this post. Want the completed design and extra information? Go here!

i hope he fits the style of rid15 well enough...

my hands hurt and i decided to make it worse by picking the most horrendous line art pen imaginable.

here's the initial sketch before i figured it out (this is how lots of my pictures start as lmao):

fuck you random green/black car that showed up once in an episode for this entire au idea that's been buggin' me for a year and a half.

anyway, goodnight… my arm aches.

Research and Exploration sketchbook pages on the sheep bones, spiderwebs, and teeth/dentures. This was a visual response to the different horror-inspired sources I've been researching this term. As a part of this research, I was hoping to use the sheep teeth moulds I made in the clay workshop, however I haven't been able to retrieve them from the kiln yet. Texture was a key inspiration in this study, regardless.
