SCRAPPED Paperboy pages.

Changed because I had a better idea & wasn't a fan of the composition, but hey. Here's Andrea being a little shit for a good cause!

Are there any characters you guys had to scrap or that won't be shown in the comics?

Wonderful question, Anon! Here is what we have in the great archives…

“Ashton used to have a half sister that I decided not to add to his lore”

“Here are two sketches of what I remember her to look like, I lost her original sketches but she was going to be a second grader and be more goat/deer demon based than shape shifter demon compared to Ashton and Tim” Quoted by @fancytube064

What a fine discovery! Much to think about. I hope this answers your question ❤️

(We have a new post footer! Yay! 🎉)

20th century boys - scrapped reveals and plot twists?

Don't know if anybody cares about speculating something as hard to proof and irrelevant, but I had a few ideas while reading, which even if didnt come true, seemed to be getting hinted at and with how much was made on the spot I wonder if they were originally the plan...

So not really them mentionened besides random yt comments that may or may not be an alt account of me...

Spoilers of course.

Donkey was supposed to be friend?

Remember how Donkey was first introduced? As the weird kid others ostrociced and didnt really want to include, who actually was very smart and talanted all excentricitys aside.

And he was the first "friend" to die, as a classic misdirection - while having an obvious excuse introduced to fake his death "Oh all his siblings look just like him..." (Also the evil twin angel was really emphasised with the fat bully kids at the start, hmmm....)

Donkey was the one that had the skills and near supernatural abilities while being the classic story of a good kid cracking and turning - tieing the dark subversion if shonen magazine tropes.

His whole skepticism of things could tie into too with him cynically learning that "Oh people want to fall for superstitions for illusions, really friendship is fake as well, so why not start a cult, not like its hard for me to make some tricks..."

The symbol being sent by him would be than a cheeky hint, the intentional start of a goose chase, but no geese will ever outrun a donkey...Even all the showing of Donkey in the first half would not just be as motivation for the middle aged friend group, but a setup for this dark twist, while laying the seeds of the themes, maybe even having Dunkey in his twisted logic think he did it for their sake, to make them be the heroes they didnt become.

Oh and also the whole Aldrin Moon Nasa thing seems to work the best for him - with him being the stereotype of a "I fricking love science" kid (who if I dont misremeber is said to have actually wiaited till it happened and didnt fall asleep, but maybe Im misremebering that part) and also his familys lack of money stoping him from enjoying many activities with his "friends" (even having to watch tv with Kenji...)

Oh and for any "well how would he set it up, was the one injured guy lieing about what Donkey said before he threw him of??? Or was that all part of his plan??!"

And yeah its convoluted and kinda breaks the "trying to figure out a mystery without the author just lieing and pulling bullshit" part - but Urasawa does it anyways, with all the reveals obviously not being planned before getting changed again (as he admits)

Oh and also that applys to the "real" reveal (the first one) - we literally saw the friend guy have an emotional breakdown, say he knows who the real friend must be, remove the friends mask and say he isnt that and then fall to his death

So if the Dunkey twist goes against the story, so does the real one. "Ohnono, you just had to assume that he lied and hired actors for his family and then did a double misdirection plunge to the dead and-" Yeah ok Donkey could have done that too.

but for the other theory

Kiriko/the protags sister had a "virgin birth"

So remember when there was that random detail about "Godzilla being a girl and giving a birth without a father"? And how this godzilla thing getting a callback with the mom saying she is one cause her virus killed that many people?

Well isnt it weird that the actually weird part wasnt adressed? Especially when Kanna was mysterious from the start and that at the same time talks of a "Holy Mother" started, as did all the Christian imagery with saviors dieing, resurecting and the pope (with Catholics having the biggest connection with Mary...)

But then it didnt pay of - guess she really had a secret relationship with a random half-friend of her younger brother🤷‍♂️ Not saying that that is more fantastical than all the magic and conspiracys but still a weird detail, especially with the romance and relationship not being explored at all.

It even seems to be anti thetical, with the sister being very mature and selfless, while "friend" is childish and egoistical (well maybe a certain codependent weird thing makes sense now but ehh...)

Still what would make more sense in a dramatic story with supernatural elements - the model sister suddenly just having a kid and abandoning it without ever telling anyone about the father who she only found out was evil after having a consensual relationship which she didnt really have a reason to hide at the start

Or if she DOES have a miracle birth...

Like Kiriko was literally shown to be a perfect sister, doing everything for her brother, being responsible, taking everyones shit, even sacrificing her well being for her brother and others while having a stoic expression.

Maybe she actually did magically get a baby and that scared here enough to abandon it without explaining because who could believe it.

Or maybe something cause it, something she couldnt explain.

Like Friends "magic" or "science"(magic) - hence why Friend calls himself "the father" - he kinda is, in some way, indirectly, idk

Or, as a subtheory...

Kiriko was friend. Think about it, she would be "the father" if her research developed a way to create a child without a fathers DNA (I mean there is a magic anti-proton bomb, and the virus is also not really scientific), the "father" being the part of her that is the alter ego executing the plan, the magic and the tricks.

But more importantly, it would be the perfect obvious misdirection - they were so busy searching for a boy in their class, missing the obvious girl who was just a few years older, who may even in younger photos, if she could have had short hair as that other girl love interet with the dog as a kid had, may have looked as a standard early middle school boy.

And the thematic motivation would be perfect too - she allways just saw everything from the outskirts, she had to be the older and responsible one, not having a chance to ever play like her younger brother did, being resentful of not being able to have a secret base and alll, especially when the other girl could join later.

The scientific angel is there too, as the metaphor of "being in the space capsule while the others got all the fun and glory"

Also it would be a perfect hiding in a plain sight twist thing "Oh my sister disapeared and left a baby, I wonder who this mysterious masked individual is who seems to know me and my friend so much while even knowing the name of my sisters kid... Guess we'll never know🤷‍♂️" (bonus connection - the concert being "not real rock" could be the sis either trolling him on porpuse, or doing it as a intentional thing while also not understanding why it doesnt work, showing that there is this misunderstading between siblings that could get solves in the end)

So.. got all that from my last post? Good.

Now have an old drawing of Sonic about to beat the crap out of Eggman for hurting Tails-

No shot, I actually did make some mini comics in parts here and there with concepts like these, I was just too shy to show them--

[carl77fx]

These are a bunch of concepts for a scrapped separated rottmnt au.

The au was called The Blue Cladded Nuisance, where the RMD trio are (sorta) villains having to deal with an annoying vigilante hero in blue (Leo) who keeps messing with their families' plans to rule over humanity. Unfortunately, I had to scrap the idea 'cause it just didn't fully click with me.

But I made art for it so therefore they must be shared.

I drew this back in 2017 and just recently found it again.

So, this is a rough concept sketch for a family of holiday Scrooge villains. If I was going to commit to making a Valentine's Day Scrooge fan character, it tracked that there'd be others for major holidays too. From left to right: Ebenezer Scrooge (Christmas), Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and Easter. Ebenezer is the family patriarch, St. Patrick's Day is his daughter, Halloween married in, Valentine's is St. Patrick's and Halloween's kid, and Easter is either an aunt or cousin.

I scrapped this idea and I don't think I'll be revisiting this any time soon. O.K. K.O. deliberately avoided a Christmas special and I prefer my Scrooge as a one-off weirdo with a specific holiday hangup and an overzealous petty vendetta against it.

Got this scrapped idea of El4n getting uploaded into the blue keychain bc I got feels over seeing him again at S2 but I spiraled into an existential crisis over whether he can constitute as the 'true' El4n. Eri doesn't count bc she's explicitly stated to have the same data length as Aerial so she would have gotten all her her brainwaves/nerves/science mumbo jumbo uploaded, while all the others would only be very fragmented bc their permet thingies don't match up. So that probably means that the images of Norea, Sophie, etc. we see aren't ghosts as in a formation of their souls but rather imprints of the past that the Gundams were able to glean slice by slice.

So I had to ask myself if El4n does get uploaded, wouldn't he technically be just a collection of already fragmented memories copied partially once more? Is he allowed to call himself El4n? Wouldn't this be a whole new hell for a digital being, to question whether 'he' exists? The concept of himself torn apart yet again, this time, by his own hands instead of Peil.

... And this is why I hate myself for reading SOMA.

New concept art for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) has released. (More on their website since Tumblr only allows a certain about of photos on a post). Here’s an excerpt below translated in English:

Hello, everyone. We are Tianheyan Studio.

In 2022, we were invited by Jeff Fowler, director of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, to participate in the preliminary conceptual design of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It's an honor to participate in this series of films again.

This time, we are mainly responsible for the drawing of some keyframes and some character modeling. The keyframe concept map plays a helpful role in the establishment of the film tone style, and can also assist in guiding the work of visual effects. Some keyframes also need to design specific scene details. The character modeling is mainly based on the performance photos of Dr. Egghead (Kim Kerry), exploring witty makeup and costume design suitable for matching with animated characters.

Here are some of the results of our team's keyframe concept maps. Thank you for your support.

I tried to make myself a new icon, and while I love this design it didn’t fit right when I tried to make it my new icon.

And when I tried to corp it to make it fit better, it just kept coming out wrong.

The design however was too good for me to just disregard it so I decided to share this with you guys.
