ANOTHER WIP COMIC UPDATE BECAUSE PROCREATE SAYS I’VE SPENT OVER 30 HOURS ON IT AND I’M TIRED

It’s 12 pages. I finished sketching all of it. I plan to finish it tomorrow. (But that’s not written in stone, please don’t hold me to that.) For color, I’m just doing it monochrome because I’ve spent OVER 30 HOURS on it already. Except for Sky’s scars. Those can be red. And um… other super secret things that I won’t reveal right now because I want at least some of it to be a surprise.

I have so much to say about this scene oh my goodness!! I’ll spare the rant but I hope you can tell my love for it by this comic’s existence in the first place. I know it’s not at all accurate to Linked Universe, but I started this comic just for fun (I’ve never made a comic before!! This has been a little experiment!) and I don’t know all that much about LU, other than the fanfics I read. By the time I started taking it seriously, I was in too deep to redesign the Links, lest I spent another 30 hours on it.

Ahhh and here I go, rambling about things that don’t matter. For any of you reading this that are not Illeg, go check out their fanfictions! Literally all of them. They all have my whole heart.

I realize I’ve put a lot of emphasis on the time I’ve spent on this so far, but I promise I’m not unhappy! Not at all! It’s been such a pleasure to draw so far and I can’t wait to post the finished project! (Hopefully tomorrow!)

(Tap on the image for better quality. And zoom in. I beg of you.)

I absolutely HAD to draw something for @phoebepheebsphibs's DTIYS (based on this pose)! I decided to mix things up a bit by experimenting with a more limited color palette, which was a pretty fun challenge.

alternatively titled: sometimes you're the level-headed token flesh-head impulse-control-and-polycule-member of a stubborn, eccentric, and hearty telephone-headed drug addict, and there's cruelty in the world you deem fit to suicidally fight, and that either goes about as well as you'd expect it to, or you learn about love and the value of your life and junk along the way

a cute detail in haruka's room

This turned into a half-ramble half-headcanon post so I apologize for how messy it is lol

While watching undercover for the first time I noticed that there seems to be a sketchbook in Haruka's room, in which a colorful tree is drawn

Haruka seems to be hyperempathetic, and usually hyperempathetic people are quite artistic in their worldview and their hobbies, so I have a headcanon that Haruka likes to draw and/or paint, as a hobby and coping mechanism, a little escapism (especially since Haruka's no.1 coping mechanism with traumatic/stressful events seems to be denial—I'm going to elaborate on that in a different post because I've thought about that very, VERY often, and it partially explains why he acted the way he did in T2, to me) (I'm projecting a little bit because I kin Haruka and I'm a (hobbyist) artist myself but teehee)

When he was asked about his hobbies in his T1 interrogation, he just said he liked to talk to the other prisoners, but I think that's because he's insecure about his art being bad or unconventional (it looks like he used crayons or simple markers for the tree drawing. And also, the leaves are all different colors... perhaps I'm overanalyzing a simple scene, but it seemed to me that it's kinda symbolizing how he views & interacts with the world differently because of his neurodivergence. Still, the drawing is quite pretty imo, and he used the colors very well, so even though it's a tree with unusual colors, it still looks beautiful; even though he's different, it doesn't mean he's inferior, and there's still beauty despite how much he struggles to fit in. You know?)

Also also the way a lot of frames in weakness have hyper-realistic, vibrant backgrounds, as well as the blood being colorful (though that appears elsewhere too, like in Muu's MV) it really convinced me that Haruka sees the world through the lens of an artist, a passionate person who feels things very intensely.

Since the prisoners can request anything, I like to think Haruka secretly requested a sketchbook and some crayons to continue his hobby (I'm not sure if he can do that since it's unclear how the prisoners request & receive stuff (I'm a relatively new Milgram fan so I might've forgotten/not have seen an explanation if there's any ueueu))

I like to think he keeps his sketchbook to himself at first, but slowly opens up to the other prisoners about his hobby. First Fuuta and Mu, then maybe Mikoto, then the others (and they're all very nice to him & praise his art!!! Especially Mikoto I think. he would be very excited to see all of Haruka's art!!! Supportive big brother figure) :3c

hm.... exploring jake as nonbinary/agender who very much performs the act of masculinity because that is what is expected of him and coming to terms that he doesn't have to be, maybe he doesn't have to force himself into that mould

-EMERGENCY INTERRUPTION POST/hj-

idc if it’s 4 days late have this April Fools special!!

this took longer than it should but it’s more of a treat for myself so win-win

I don't actually have an official persona so have this lil’ guy I made in 6th grade instead (he's gonna represent me until I design my actual sona)

Close-ups :

this drawing single-handedly destroyed my workflow

-we will return to our regular posting schedule shortly-

hope this isn't going to cause shit but i think tumblr users have a warped idea of what being "pretentious" means

one thing about me w/ creative freedom is that in all of my Personal Lore i will make dragons so People. they are a People. yeah yeah animalistic dragons dragons that are beasts we've all seen it. what about the very intelligent dragons. dragons with their own cultures and societies and languages. dragons who belong to a higher form of existence too. what about them

As someone who's just always coming up with new stories all the time at any given moment and who learned to draw through drawing furries and slowly easing from furries to people with animal characteristics to finally actually humans, I'm always so distressed because whenever I come up with a new story, it means before I draw them I'll have to decide if they're silly animal people 1

Silly animal people 2

Whatever the hill I've got going on in The Timberchase Branch

Or like regular ass people (exceptions for fantasy settings)

And that tortures me every time as someone who's super indecisive
