[Start transcript:

Panel 1: Martyn and Pearl stand near the edge of a cliff, overlooking plains surrounded by mountains. The sky is a dull blue and dotted with some clouds. They both have their backs to the camera, with Martyn standing a bit closer and Pearl standing further away, near the edge.

Panel 2: Pearl turns to face Martyn. “We can’t stay here. We have to find everyone.”

Panel 3: Martyn turns away slightly, hugging himself slightly while standing very tensely. He is grimacing, and his eyes are turned down.

Panel 4: The camera zooms in on Martyn, who has untensed a little and lowered his arms. he is still angled away from Pearl and his eyes are still looking down. “Why? They all hate each other anyways.”

Panel 5: The camera switches to be zoomed in on Pearl’s face in a front view. She is looking away, somewhat nervously. “It’s the server doing this, not them.”

Panel 6: It goes back to Martyn in a frontal view. He is grimacing and his eyebrows are furrowed, trying to contain his emotions. “Yeah, I know that.”

Panel 7: Martyn turns to face Pearl fully. His head and eyes are tilted towards the ground, and his shoulders are slumped while his arms hang at his sides. “That’s the problem.”

Panel 8: The camera pans out to show Martyn beginning to walk towards Pearl, who is nervously rubbing her arm. Martyn is reaching out a hand as he walks.  “The server’s making them hate each other,”

Panel 9: With the view being behind Pearl, Martyn grips her shoulders and finally makes eye contact. He is tense and clearly uncomfortable. In the background, the sky has gone dark. “And it’s only a matter of time before it makes us hate each other too.”

Other info and ramblings under the cut!

I STILL don’t have a drawing tablet, BUT I have gotten better at using my track pad. This piece took a 3 hours and 45 minutes, which is still a lot, but wayyy better than before! With the time of the initial sketch (approx. 15 minutes), I’d estimate that it was roughly 4 hours total. That’s about 2 hours less than the first page! I’ll count that as a win.

Also, a much I’d love to let y’all know what happens to Jimmy after the last page, I’m not going to spoil anything just yet. The answer will come in time... Until then, Pearl and Martyn, my beloveds.

Tell Me How it Ends (i want it to be over already)

A snippet for my Watcher!Jimmy AU. Check out the comic, and feel free to send an ask/DM if you want to know more or be a beta reader!

.

Nobody had seen Jimmy for some time. Even before they got to this horrid server, he seemed to have disappeared. 

Scar said he was lucky. Which, perhaps, was fair. The server they were all trapped on was cursed. At least, something along those lines. It was the only explanation for all of the terrible things that had happened. 

Respawn glitches, injuries that wouldn’t heal, memory loss… There was a lot. So yeah, Pearl supposed that maybe Jimmy was lucky.

Except, she couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. She knew that everyone on this server was out to get each other, but she also knew that this feeling wasn’t from any of her former friends. It was from Them. It was unsettling, to say the least. The creeping knowledge that They were watching, made worse by the fact that she didn’t know why. 

She wondered if her and everyone else ending up in this server was Their doing, or if They were merely observing. She doubted she’d get an answer. The only two possible leads were the absence of Jimmy, and Grian’s escape.

Grian was the only one who got out of the server. He made no effort to tell anyone how he did it. He hadn’t even said goodbye to Mumbo, the last person to see him. All he did was turn away before glowing bright yellow and vanishing. Mumbo claimed his eyes stung for hours afterwards. At the time of Mumbo telling everyone, nobody put much thought into the minute detail of sore eyes. Everyone only cared about the possibility of getting out of this server.

Of course, that hope had long since burned down. For some, like Pearl, the embers still remained. For others, they had long since cast aside the charred remnants of that idea. It was only a matter of time before they were all like that. 

However, until that time came, Pearl would continue searching for answers. Back when the hostility between each other was minimal, she would question the others for any information regarding Grian and Jimmy. At first, people merely remarked that they missed Jimmy and were jealous of Grian. Some said they hoped Jimmy and Grian were safe. As time went on though, the answers she received soured. 

“He shouldn’t have left us.”

“We’re better off without them.”

“Why do you keep asking me these questions?”

The first time Etho drew a sword to threaten her was when she realized that she was getting nowhere with this. She raced back to her cottage, collapsing onto her bed once she arrived. As she lay there, she realized. 

These people weren’t her friends anymore. They had changed. She had changed. This server was corrupting them, worse than it was in Last Life. It was happening even without deaths. It was faster.

They were all running out of time.

If Pearl didn’t find a way to get them out of here soon, they’d be stuck there forever.

A poem for my AU. Feel free to check out my comic or send an ask/DM if you want to know more!

A Watcher Soon to Be

He wore an empire on his back, such a burden to bear. But oh, how he carried with pride. 

He kept that weight, a heavy cloak. And even as his people crumbled, he never stopped his solemn walk.

He continued trudging to the end. Of course he was scared, he didn’t know that We were there to welcome him.

He collapsed alone,  and We opened Our arms, for he would join Us.

He said no. The same back that held so many was turned away from Us. 

He didn’t understand.  It didn’t matter what he wanted, for he did not know what was right. 

We knew he couldn’t comprehend it, but We knew that he would. He would be one of Us.

Ramblings and original sketch under the cut!

So, I once again used a track pad for this. I really, really need to buy myself a tablet. Oh well.

Other than my struggles with having to use a trackpad, I think this went well! It still took much longer than it normally would, 5 hours and 32 minutes, but eh. I’ve gotten more used to krita, which is good. I really like the gradient tool and how the color palettes are organized :]

Aaaanyways, if anyone wants to help me write this comic that’d be good, my script only goes so far- /nf Also, critique and comments are always welcome!

Lastly, the sketch:

[watching-jimmy]

More of my art!

More art for my Watcher!Jimmy AU lol. Also testing out lighting, which didn’t turn out too great but oh well.

(if anyone wants to hear more about my au feel free to DM my side blog, watcher-jimmy-au) :D

Ramblings and drawing information under the cut!

So, to start, this was a challenge to make. Namely because, besides the original paper sketch, this was done entirely on a trackpad. I wish I was kidding.

Krita is a really nice program, but holy fuck it was still so hard to do this. This is why I need to get myself a drawing tablet,,,, normally I draw either on paper or with ibis paint on my phone. So it was already difficult adjusting to using Krita, made so much worse by my refusal to spend money on anything other than stuff for college.

But yeah, that’s why the lineart is so, so shaky and the coloring is so all over the place/messy. At the three hour mark I gave up making the coloring look neat.

Aaaaaaanyways, if anyone wants to hear more about this au and/or help me brainstorm please let me know! I am also looking for a possible beta reader in future. Also, let me know if you want to be pinged for future comic updates!

Lastly, the information. As I said earlier, the program used was Krita, and I don’t have a tablet so I used a my computer’s trackpad. The total time spent on this is 5 hours and 57 minutes. (wayyy longer than it should’ve been).
