The Rise of Khepri

[angelo-art]

Khepri

Barely sane and nearing death, wearing an amalgamation of her previous equipment.

Honestly Khepri is the most interesting to draw, but I'm not happy with this one. It was rushed and mostly I just wanted to complete the set. Hopefully someday I'll revisit it.

am I the only one who fucking loves Taylor's design during the slaughterhouse nine arc?

Her face nearly entirely covered in bugs, wearing a bandana along with it, her outfit in tatters, wearing the cloth like a cape, her body armor the only part that's mostly intact

I need art of it so bad

It’s very funny to read posts about Taylor (especially on SB) and slowly realize that the person does not actually remember who Taylor is, but rather replaced her with a super sanitized CW version of her.

They’d be like, “Taylor is understanding of people’s life choices and is a tough but fair leader”.

She is absolutely not any of those things.

She’s judgmental as hell and sort of a huge asshole to people who don’t immediately listen to her. Hell, Tattletale straight up repeats Miss Militias speech about how Taylor is manipulative in how she forces people to help her by making it so they don’t have any other choice (but is much nicer about it).

Even when TT tries to reason with her before this, point out that the people opposing them have valid points (which is weird to type), Taylor chooses to leave the scene instead of confronting the situation (much like how she left Danny when he finally confronted her).

When Cuff rightfully yells at her for lying about them (specifically her) being shot at, Taylor brushes her off completely. Cuff then has another moment of disbelief years later when she has to painfully explain to Taylor why mind controlling people into making out with each other is super rapey.

Taylor is not smart in terms of common sense or understanding people’s views. She’s not unbiased or fair.

She’s literally that meme of “one day I’ll wear this boot!” and she succeeds. She succeeds so hard that society is traumatized from it!

That’s what makes Taylor such a great character. That she’s so complex that even when you know she’s doing bad, outright evil things, she is enjoyable to a reader. The fact that she fails at being a hero so badly, fails at being a broadly good person, but still tries in her own fucked up way is peak entertainment and empathetic in the same way that Bojack Horseman can be celebrated as interacting with the audience heart.

Especially because it makes those moments of genuine heroics shine all the more. It’s her running across the city trying to warn everyone! Her trying to save Chubster! Her trying to save Glory Girl!

Dont sanitize who Taylor is!

Let her be that fucked up gremlin who sometimes does good things in a storm of bad!

im almost done (I'm on arc 30.2) and omg I love how fucked up and insane Taylor went <33 ough I love insanity arcs so much. you go girl!! loose touch with reality!! speak in weird jumbled coos and growls!!! push away those you care about most to protect them from yourself!!! loose that last shred of your mental stability!! I <3 insanity arcs sm!!! and this one is by far one of the most fun ive read!

I don’t blame Doormaker’s shard for running out of juice imagine being told “Ok so can you make like a million portals and keep remaking them so it looks like they’re moving and like make them rotate with me so they don’t block my vision (yes ik i have clairvoyant but it looks cool bear with me) also make them all hexagons pretty please :)” I’d bluescreen right then and there

Contessa & Khepri Puppet Turnarounds!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all! I figure I should share what's been taking me so long to post about! I'm working on putting together some animation puppet rigs for Contessa & Khepri! I'm trying to animate a favorite scene of mine that involves them both! I'm sure you can figure out which one ;]

If you like, feel free to leave me suggestions/tweaks! These designs aren't super final, just some guidelines to follow as I go into vectoring in the artwork. Enjoy!
