#The art style is a bit inconsistent with this one

its time for this thang again lesgo

[chaoticlad]

Nahhh exactly 6 months that’s wildddd

Redraw because my “”””””art””””””” has gotten worse 👍

[sir-nowhere-man]

Whats the matter fellas? Blue meanies?

[flamintgo]

There's also an underlying accusation to that question that non-drummers would probably not directly get, even though you did correctly pick up on the rude tone. Not only are they calling the kit flashy, they're also calling him a fake. II's perfectly succinct response to that question was both the actual answer and a shut down (Imagine, if you will, those big, beautiful, blue eyes rolling in his grumpy skull mask. He is among Sleep's eepiest).

'why so many triggers' ' for gates' But what does it mean??? This was before my time 😭 I'm so excited

I don’t have the screenshot so if anyone wants to add, please do!

Basically, in the way that often happens, somebody on Twitter replies to a photo of ii’s setup and went “why so many triggers?” and like trying to say there’s too much shit on his kit, it’s for looks, it’s overkill and too many, just like general dissing energy

And ii, being on twitter and ready to fight at a moments notice, replied within very short time and just said “For gates.” (Admittedly, not a drummer, so I don’t 100% understand the nuance of this but) which we all basically took to mean “because fuck you that’s why”

Basically the drummer equivalent of “drift, why so many band posts? You’re not adding any music to the world, there’s no creating in what you do, you just yap and thirst and are annoying like why do you post about them so much?”

“For fun.”

May I Have This Seat?

Hey, guys, I'm back again. At least for now. Would you believe me if I told you that this comic took me around half a year to finish this? Procrastination will be the death of me... I made this as an excuse to have Heavy and Medic sit on each other's laps.

(Pray for Medic's lap, though he might enjoy the sensational pressure he's experiencing.)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I also made this to practice on backgrounds again, specifically indoors.

And yes, there's inconsistencies here and there like how the second scene has no lineart because I was testing if I should have my backgrounds with/without lineart (very pretty and cozy scene to look at but hell to choose and blend colors together, but hey, it was worth it), and how near the end of the last scene the atmosphere becomes more pinkish purple to get that dreamy romantic feel.

Also, I totally did not just trace the respawn room because I got lazy meanwhile, I used perspective rulers for the other scenes and making blueprints for the room and building to practice with architecture, and ironically the first scene is the last scene I worked on.

And I'd rather suffer than draw Heavy's bandolier over and over and OVER again...

And I finally gave them nails because their bare feet looked odd in the end, so I gave them toenails and it helped, but now I have to give them fingernails because that's just weird to have toenails and not fingernails. I wanted to experiment and I'm not sure if I should keep it to update my art style.

Sorry if I posted it late today because I literally just finished making this after finally working on it again for a couple of sleepless weeks.

That's what I get for being lazy while working on other art projects.

(Psst. Hey, ScoutPauling fans, I also have something for you guys as well, but you'll have to wait a bit as I'm currently finishing up some details. Also, this art I'm finishing is one of the reasons why I procrastinated with the HeavyMedic comic even though the comic is 2 months older than the pic. I was mostly focused on ScoutPauling more than this. But trust me, it looks good and cute, just wait...)

I need to make a better schedule...

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this comic and Happy Valentine's Day!

The first meeting

Layout and sketching by @traceyc-uk

Line art, colouring and shading by me

I don't think I can express how much I enjoyed working on it and how much I've learnt from it. It was so much fun! Thank you so much, Tracey! Seriously, all the time I've spent laughing or smiling like an idiot because of our exchanges has been priceless!

Also, if I needed to describe their Hogwarts dynamic, I would place their other interactions after the first one in that order: two, three, four, five, six. It's not their creation order, so there are some inconsistencies, but it's how I see it in general.

I started working on the first page in November and finished the last one just recently, so the render style is a bit different. I also couldn't always keep Tracey's style consistent, but I'm still proud of how it turned out. Thanks again, Tracey, for trusting me with your brilliant sketches <3

I'm very curious about your Posepoli AU if you are OK with sharing facts about it ? Maybe what you have in mind? Or what Poseidon have in mind withvhis proposition 🤔 I can't only imagine the crew reaction

Also I'm in absolute love with your art ! The way you color? Your Odysseus ? Incredible. Make me think about fairy tales book illustrations you know ? And don't let go on your design of Poseidon ? He look so cold and distanced, it's actually genius!

Oh, thank you so much 💖 It means a lot! I loved illustrated fairytales as a kid and had a similar book of Greek myths, so that's probably where the style comes from, hehe

As for the AU... I lied shamelessly in the other post and speedran through coloring the panels and imma show y'all everything today!

If you haven't seen the previous one go check it out first

SO, Polites lives. But now he has to cope with the consequences of their recklessness,,

⬇️⬇️⬇️ cut because yapping again

The wind bag gets opened, and they're faced with Poseidon seeking revenge,,

Odysseus' apology isn't accepted (who even apologizes like that??), but Poseidon doesn't get to strike him —

Polites steps in and asks for them to be spared.

The god almost laughs in his face because that's an utterly ridiculous attempt, but decides that there's no harm in amusing himself a bit. Yet, no matter what Poseidon thinks about the man and how much he despises his ideals,, Polites is very different from most mortals he met, with his unshakeable belief in a better world (that realization happens much later in the plot, at the moment he's just pissed off)

So, yeah. Poseidon gives them a challenge: if they find another way around the storm, continue their journey without harming or killing (as per Poli's ideology), and get home, he will spare everyone, even Odysseus. The one who's formally "responsible" for holding up their end of the deal is still Polites, and he gets a kind of seal/tattoo as proof that neither side will go against the terms (yay ✨️aesthetics ✨️)

Forgot to mention: the whole crew is alive — 600 men making their way to Ithaca!

Next stop would be Circe's island,,, guess who will become besties? Ehehwhe

Things I believe are important to mention:

Poseidon REALLY doesn't like Polites in this AU (well,, for now) and wants to see him fail, then drown the fleet and be done with it

His main motivation here wouldn't be to avenge Polyphemus, but to prove that Polites is wrong (same as with Odysseus, but more intense)

Get ready for tons of mockery in the next part ( ；∀；)

I headcanon (not just in this AU but in general) that Polites, Perimedes, and Elpenor are also very close friends!

Odysseus is oblivious about Poli's feelings towards him (dude is mole-blind when it comes to that), but Eurylochus knows

Umm, so that's it for now! See y'all next time, because telling things without throwing pictures in seems meh... However, that's up to you, too. I can continue as it is and draw the scenes you'd like to see and/or choose later :3 Just write how u think would be more okayish i guess??

Bonus thing: congrats on reading till the end lol. there is one inconsistency in the comic above. at the sketch stage I flipped 3 of these panels, and they don't match with the other ones (seen in the details) first one to guess (say the nr order, idc) gets to request ANYTHING epic‐related from me :D

[dresshistorynerd]

this might be the silliest question you’ll be asked. As someone who enjoys period dramas and studied history (though not fashion) so notices inaccuracies like fasteners and availability of dyes etc, I nonetheless can dive into the world presented.

I notice the wearing of outerwear the most. In a program set in Regency England, in outdoor scenes, a) you rarely see more than a Spencer jacket or a cape, and b) in a group scene the coverage varies wildly from lady to lady. As if I was out walking with friend wearing a tank top while I had on a turtleneck and fleece vest.

I get costumes tell a lot about the characters but wouldn’t a person look daft and either cold or hot and out of place?

This is not silly! This is actually a very good question! Regency media is often very much confused and inconsistent about what was appropriate in the given situation to wear, but to be fair, it was actually very confusing.

I have seen a lot of people, and I have repeated this before as well, perpetuate the idea that Regency Era had the same concept of casual and formal wear - split to morning, day and evening wear, where the earlier in the day it was the more the dress covered. However, the Regency concept of casual/formal wear followed much closer to the previous era of 18th century. Instead of morning, day and evening wear they had undress, half dress and full dress, which had a bit to do with how much was covered but not much. They were much less formalized than the equivalent concepts of the socially rigid Victorian Era. Which also makes it much more confusing. Undress was usually worn at home or during morning walks and it had long sleeves. Usually it was a pelisse or dressing gown, or could be a simple round gown. Though most garments were not inherently undress, half dress of full dress, since it was much more relevant simple or flashy the garment in question was. A simple redingote could also be undress for cold morning walks. Hair was often covered in undress as well, usually with a cap, but this wasn't necessary for young unmarried ladies. Full dress was basically ball gown - so the most formal dress, short sleeves etc. - and there fore easiest to grasp. Though sometimes other occasions besides balls were as formal and then full dress would be used as well, but not all evening occasions were as formal as balls. Half dress is basically everything else and easily the most confusing and unclear category. Half dress could have short sleeves or long sleeves, used outdoors or indoors, used for less formal evening occasions and promenade walks and visiting casually a close friend and picnic and so on. Basically half dress was anything more formal than the casual home wear and less formal than the fancy ball gown. It was a collection of several different types of gowns really, but the reason they were in the same category was that there was no hard rules on how they should be worn.

At some point I'll make a post on the Regency casual/formal wear etiquette where I go deeper into this.

What specifically sort of half dress someone wore had more to do with age, marital status and weather than the specific occasion (though that could still matter as well), since most garments could be styled in multiple different usages especially by combining them with different garments. Married women and older women were expected to use more covering clothing, while younger women and girls could use less coverage even on a more casual occasion. So for example on a summer outing an older married woman might wear a long sleeved round gown or a light pelisse, while their unmarried daughter might wear a short sleeved gown. But these were not hard rules either. It was sort of closer to how etiquette works today, much more vibe based than rule based. Here's couple of examples from art depicting different scenes, where women are wearing quite different sort of half dresses.

The first one here is from 1815-1820. I'm not sure what the setting is for this harp playing, since the women seem to be wearing outdoor clothing (all are wearing bonnets and one of them is wearing a redingote), maybe they are playing outside? Anyway, the two ladies have short sleeved gowns, one of them has open neckline, the other a chemisette covering her neckline, while the third has a covering redingote.

First image here is a painting named "A young person hesitating to play the piano in front of her family" from 1805. Here's a casual gathering among family on a terrace, perhaps after the dinner (the sun seems to be setting), where the young lady is dressed in short sleeved gown, while presumably her mother and grandmother are dressed on gowns with longer sleeves and covered hair. The second image here is painting of three teenagers preparing to play music on a casual musical evening from c. 1810. The girls are roughly the same age, yet one of them is wearing long sleeves and covered neckline, while the other is not, demonstrating how there was no exact rules with half dress.

The first image below is an illustration "In a cafe" from 1810. The ladies are out, two of them are wearing short sleeved and decollete revealing dresses, while their third (likely married) friend is wearing long sleeves and covered hair and decollete. The second image is an illustration from 1814, and depicts a casual gathering where young people are playing party games. Again there's a mix of long and short sleeves.

So it would not be inherently inaccurate to have Regency women in a group wear garments of varying sleeve length, but Regency media very rarely does it in a way that follows the nuances of the Regency social norms, because it very much depended on the situation. For example no lady would wear long sleeves in a ball. I don't remember every scene but what I do remember of the 2020 Emma they do the whole etiquette really well. And of course Pride and Prejudice 1995 nails it. Still after trying to figure out the nuances of Regency etiquette myself and still quite not getting all of them, I'm much more understanding of movies and tv shows for fucking it up. It really is very hard to pin down. Not that it prevents me from getting annoyed by very obvious mistakes.

Details shared across IDs (In no particular order)

(Edit: Huge thanks to everyone who has commented !!! :D)

Ever since someone told me that every Ishmael ID has her hairband, I've been thinking about what other accessories or details that are shared across all or most of a sinner's IDs.

My "rules" for this is that it has to be in either the character art or sprites, and exceptions are made if the design obscures it (e.g. W Corp Outis' gauntlets covering her watch). I am also not including things that the character would've been born with/is just a part of their body, so eye color/shape, hair color/style, Rodya's mole, Gregor's beard and Ishmael's freckles.

(If anyone has noticed something else, please tell me, I'd love to hear it!! This is super interesting to me)

First of, Ishmael's hairband, even when she has her hair up, the hair tie is the same general shape. The exception being her Pequod Captain ID, where she instead wears a hat.

Outis' watch and earrings, every ID has one of the two, with an overwhelming majority having both. W Corp. and Wuthering Heights Outis have no visible watch. Barber, Heishou Pack, Blade Lineage Salsu, Magic Bullet and Seven Assoc. Outis have no visible earrings.

Ryoshu's sword, also an obvious one, every ID has the sword. You could count her smoking ??lol

Hong Lu's jade hair tie, for Kurokumo Clan Wakashu and Liu Assoc. the hair tie is a ribbon instead. You can also count his left teal eye, it is mentioned in his Liu Assoc. ID story that it is "noticeably mechanical".

Gregor's cockroach, right arm and yellow eyes, every ID has a cockroach somewhere in the art, and his right arm is always some sort of prosthetic replacement. Most IDs have prostheses that resemble a natural arm, but IDs like Rosespanner and Twinhook do not.

In some character art where Gregor is distressed, his eyes have a yellow tint/glow. Examples include pre-uptie Firefist Office, uptied G Corp. Manager Corporal, uptied R.B Sous-chef and uptied Edgar Family Heir. G Corp. Manager Corporal's sprite has more yellowy eyes compared to other Gregor IDs. Priest Gregor's eyes glow red instead.

Sinclair's puffy/red eyes, I was a bit conflicted about including this since eyes and hair stay pretty much the same across IDs. There's 2 reasons I felt I should mention it: Sinclair is the only sinner with this, and It looks like he has been crying, which fits his character.

Heathcliff's two facial scars and ring, IDs that do not wear gloves (e.g. Multicrack Office, Sunshower, Kurokumo Clan Wakashu) have a silver ring on the index finger. It's inconsistent which hand it is on. The ring is visible through the glove on Öufi Assoc. Heathcliff's left hand, but in sprites and the Shi Assoc. character art, it is on the right hand. Multicrack Office's uptie art has the ring on the left hand, but the sprite has it on the right hand.

There's variation when it comes to Heathcliff's scars, but every ID has two in the face. Most IDs also share a third facial scar, but IDs like Multicrack Office and Seven Assoc. do not have it.

Meursault's belt, the IDs that don't have it (Dieci Assoc. and N Corp.) have their waist/hip area covered. You can also count his constant eye bags.

Yi Sang's dagger and bookbag, most Yi Sang IDs have a bookbag strapped to the left thigh, this bookbag also has a ceremonial dagger strapped to it. IDs that don't carry the bookbag (e.g. Spicebush) have it included in the character art. The bookbag has 하융 (Ha Yung) written on it. Solemn Lament Yi Sang does not have a visible bookbag.

Rodya's tattoo, IDs with more cleavage have a visible tattoo over the left breast.

Still nothing for Faust and Don Quixote so far (Rocinante is not included because of Manager Don). It's true that every Faust ID has Gesellschaft and every Don Quixote ID is a bloodfiend, but since these things are not shown anywhere in the designs/art specifically, I've decided to not include them.
