REDRAW!! YIPPIEEEE!!!

Ofc I still love the first one, but I feel like I didn't put quite enough time into the first version. So now that l've warmed up to digital art as well as posting a little more, here's a redraw!

(I THINK I PUT THE EYEPATCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE THIS TIME!!!)

(Oh man I forgot to draw the Tears again…)

(…and the pins.)

Side by side old + new below the cut

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

my initial knee jerk reaction to lucanis/spite saying "family, enemies, contracts" was bad because it felt like an oversimplification but actually thinking on it i really love that lucanis forces himself into this box to make things make sense in his life. family is unconditional, enemies are to be killed, but contracts is so. interesting... man who promises mila that he will find her father because he does not fail contracts. the same man who tells effe that he will kill her slaver because he needs to turn her from a poor young woman that he sympathises with, into someone he can make a deal with. it's not kindness, it's not weakness, he's just fulfilling a contract, and crows don't break contracts. if he kills a bunch of racist blood mages during that process, then he's not breaking the rules, just bending them. a very convenient excuse to be a good man while still being a crow and assassin. and of course when spite is forced into him, he gets out of it with something familiar! by making another deal! something he could work with, something he HAS to work with, because being just an abomination is unthinkable. if he can work himself out of this problem like he's done with every other contract in his life, in his mind maybe there's some tiny chance that this becomes another job that he can claw his life back from.

Guess who finally finished the 40 hour intro to this video game

[shouts-into-the-void]

I think its super interesting how much complexity we're starting to see in the characters this season.

Thus far, the misfits have been the pretty uncontested "good guys" while the clusterfucks have been the clear "bad guys."

However, this season, we start to see that the division is much less black and white.

Ada tackles a super dangerous monster to save Annabel. Annabel doesn't leave her behind even though it's obviously impeding her escape and sacrifices her engagement ring to save the three of them. Prospero immediately books it for Ada as soon as he realizes she's in danger and tries to reassure her that him not being into her has nothing to do with her worth as a person. Meanwhile the misfits immediately scatter and start arguing amongst themselves.

It's highlighted extremely clearly in the confrontation between Eulalie, Pluto, Duke, Will, and Montresor. [SPOILERS for fast pass ahead btw]

While it's really easy to see the initial argument on a surface level (Goatman trying to pick a fight and using Will to do it, Eulalie coming to Will's defense because she sees him being mistreated) and while that is what happens, a closer inspection shows a lot more going on in terms of character morals.

The argument starts because Montresor, hurt, disabled, and having had his pride/ego dented, is lashing out and gets fed up with Will. (I do think its super interesting that as soon as Will flinches, he switches gears from insulting him to telling him to stop letting him walk all over him, albiet in a harsh way) Eulalie responds by asking him to stop being mean to Will, and offers to take Will into the group. Pluto and Duke reject the idea, completely ready and willing to abandon someone who for all they know and have seen, is being bullied and manipulated by someone they all know is capable of horrific violence.

And while Will ultimately chooses Montresor because he's a gay disaster the real display of just how much the characters words and alignment don't match their actual morals comes when Will gets gutted by the stag.

Hes still alive, bleeding out on the ground and begging for help. And the misfits leave him there to die. With a couple flippiant lines no less.

Meanwhile Montresor, resident scum of the Earth who's loyal to no one and delights in the suffering of others? Hesitates maybe a second before jumping into danger to save him. Not only that, he's actively comforting and reassuring Will the entire time.

And I think this is what makes me the most excited for the rest of this comic. Your fave would let a man die if that man wasn't on their side. The most monstrous character in the series couldn't abandon someone who can't defend themself.

And before you say it, yes Montresor abandoned Ada and a lot of him saving Will has to do with the fact that he actually cares for him. But I think the reasoning has more to do with the flashback we see of Monty and the dog. Disregarding that Ada is the reason he's spiraling out so bad right now and the animosity he feels due to her making him confront his religious trauma, he knows that she is perfectly capable of defending herself. Meanwhile Will has trouble defending himself in any setting, and is currently mortally wounded and being torn to shreds by a pack of dogs.

I think this season is setting up for a character arc for the clusterfucks and a reverse character arc for the misfits. I believe that Lenore is going to get closer and closer to the person Annabel remembers as her bonds with her friends weaken and her memories return, while Annabel is going to start forming the support network she desperately needs to cope with her various issues. This will leave the two of them in a role reversal, with Lenore determined to do anything and burn any bridge to save the two of them, while Annabel is desperately trying to figure out a way to save all of them. It would be most interesting to me if the season ended with Lenore going lone wolf and the rest of the cast teaming up to form an escape plan and get the old Lenore back.

#640.? - Considered the most intelligent member of the legendary Swords of Justice, Virizion protects other Pokémon from losing their homes due to human expansion by deftly wielding a powerful energy blade from its head. Theorized to represent an intermediary stage in Virizion’s potential transformation into the enigmatic Iron Leaves, this Pokémon continues the diligent work of its predecessor to protect Pokémon-kind. Some researchers propose that this mysterious Pokémon could have arisen in a future where Virizion adapted to coexist with advanced technology, while others believe it might be the result of deliberate experimentation. Its rumored ability to generate blade-like energy projections from both its head and neck further fuels speculation about its connection to Iron Leaves. However, without concrete evidence, the origins of this Pokémon remains a tantalizing mystery, leaving its place in Virizion’s potential evolution up for debate.

Named: Virizion - - ? - - Iron Leaves

Just in case anyone else needs the wakeup call I did, remember your transition is out of love for who you will become, not loathing for who you are now. Do it out of love. Thank your body for carrying you this far, and shape it into who you will become because you love the person on the other side before they're even here yet.

Here is the official announcement!

I have a Patreon!

All patrons get access to WIP updates, as well as research updates on things I'm currently making art about, and my sketchbooks from the past decade or so as I slowly digitize them. I just posted a small one from last year to start with.

I'm also doing a postcard of the month club tier, and a higher tier that allows you to vote on things like what WIP to work on next (plus a one-time print of your choice from my shop).

(I may also end up utilizing this as a way to post some art that's harder to post on social media, but we shall see).

#639.? - According to legend, Terrakion, alongside the other Swords of Justice, had challenged humans in order to protect other Pokémon and their homes. Said to possess phenomenal strength, Terrakion cannot stand bullies, and will mercilessly crush anyone or anything that torments small or weak Pokémon. Theorized to be a possible transitional form between Terrakion and the mysterious Iron Boulder discovered in Area Zero, this Pokémon is beginning to develop a powerful metallic body and psychic capabilities. Its body retains the rugged, bulky appearance of its predecessor, but faint crystalline growths on its horns and legs suggest a shift toward more energy-based abilities. Some researchers theorize that Iron Boulder is merely a counterpart of Terrakion from another timeline, while others hypothesize that it was once been an ordinary Terrakion that was modified by a villainous organization in the far future. If this speculative evolution truly exists, it may hold the key to understanding how a creature of raw, natural strength could evolve into the cold, calculated machine that is Iron Boulder.
