ok but the fact that the hollow left off at the perfect point to continue before it got cancelled :(
like, they're in their "homes" so it's the perfect way to delve into their backstories (ahem Kai parental issues and Vanessa's too) and more about what happened between Adam and Reeve
they know they're digital clones so they'll start to have existential crises as they try to pretend like their lives are normal
and the fact that the game's fantasy elements are still there???
Having such a bad day I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I’m posting this even tho it’s not “done” I DONT CARE. One of my first hollow drawings with that stupid ship meme, made this before I started the whole round 2 story, started it may 7th? Last significant progress was may 28th I think. I hate how weirdy’s eyes look so I covered it idc. Now I don’t even ship kainessa anymore (thank u lesbian Vanessa hc) BUT if anyone does I do like it as a QPR or just platonic besties
cartoon shows about teenagers that have diverse characters with such a variety of personalities make the vibes of the show be so whole, so lovable, and iconic i love you guys
Remember this comic? It's here on Tumblr now.
Context for those who are unaware: This is "The Shallow", AKA Bootleg "The Hollow". The initial trio was designed by @ahyesthesufferingoftvteens and then I kinda ran wild with the concept, because it was exactly what I needed back in late 2021 to escape the whole "my entire family is down with the sickness". And the whole AU culminated in the making of this comic.
I'm currently doing bust and full-body character redraw commissions btw. :0 Visit my blog for more detaaaaails.
before his emo phase, Adam had a boy band phase, and so did Mira. they bonded over it
Mira is Thai (you can pry this hc from my cold dead hands)
Reeve has a really good singing voice, but no one knows because he never sings in front of them, until the group has a karaoke session
when he was a kid, Kai was obsessed with space and NASA and wanted to be an astronaut. now he's refined it into aerospace engineering instead
Vanessa has a calico cat that she treats like her child. she can be all mean and sassy but once the cat shows up she puts on her baby voice
everyone thinks Mira is an actual Disney princess. like, she's literally perfect at everything she does. the group makes her recreate the Snow White singing to the birds scene
Skeet is definitely a stoner. ik it's a kids show but he's legit one of those stoner coded characters who if it was the 90s would have been played by Matthew Lillard
Mira and Kai don't like horror movies, while the rest of the gang does. that creates problems for their movie nights when some people really want to watch a horror movie. they'll reassure them that "this one isn't that scary, it'll be fine" and those two end up getting scared anyways. if it's a sleepover they'll follow other people around for the rest of the night bc they're afraid to be alone
