(Artfight 2022 piece post)

An art piece of @internetkatze's M. Marlow from their upcoming Project Duskpuppy! Played with using (mostly) textured brushes and using a monochrome color palette to fit with the character.

I’ve - tentatively - finished my demo reel! (also on my webbed site) By which I mean I’m bringing this in to lesson tomorrow and my teacher will probably tear it [lovingly] to shreds and I’ll change a thousand things about it and make a new one shortly thereafter. But I’m still pleased with this! If nothing else, I think making it really helped me feel like I’ve accomplished a lot in the past 2 years. I’ve also made some very good and very useful friends [I know a percussionist and a wind player now to play stuff for me, #poggers, but I also genuinely love them as people].

I don’t really know if this is going to get me a job or anything but I think it demonstrates what I can do and hopefully it means I can continue finding and working on projects that I find meaningful, like Hashtag Project Duskpuppy and FFIX Zine have been, as well as my personal projects and those of friends.

The best art is heartfelt and collaborative. <3

problem with writing a noir that includes cops is that i dont want to look at pictures of cops to draw their uniforms lol =_=

Marloweee

Marlow has Autistic Detective swag specifically in that if there are Bad Noises Bad Lights Bad Smells Bad Textures she will go rabid insane and try to hide in the dark for a while before she loses it and bites someone. On the other hand if it is quiet enough, or if it's raining, she will fall asleep ANYWHERE. She probably sleeps in her office more than she does at home. We decided Cup Noodles were invented in the 40s for the sole reason of being eaten by her. She is VERY SHORT. She is left-handed. Anika likes her hair color.

She's a fire witch. She doesn't usually share her first name and simply signs it as her initial: M. Marlow. Her birthday is May 18th. She's the youngest child of many siblings. She has tummy hurt ALL THE TIME. She loves astronomy and stargazing. Her secret literary preference is Vampire novels. She's even gay!

Bonus fun fact: She was named after Philip Marlowe of Raymond Chandler fame but spelled without the E at the end to make it more distinctive.

may i ask for number 20 of mangled movie(s) :)

20.) your ocverse just got a movie trilogy a la hunger games style. how have they horribly mangled your message/theme so that the movies are now a showcase of what the original was condemning?

oh boy this is painful LOL i think the worst possible interpretation of Duskpuppy's themes would be one that leans strongly into like… a Punitive Justice Copaganda worldview, cynical edgy shock value with no heart, or one that assumes the Noir stylings come from a place of mockery and not love. There's another theme that i think could be horribly mangled but hmm i dont think i want to spoil it :Y

[internetkatze]

7!! (for the ocverse ask game)

7.) how would you describe the relationships between the characters in the story within eight words or less?

Sunshine Casts A Shadow, Grump Lights The Way

[internetkatze]

14 (for the ocverse ask game :])

14.) whats your favorite part of this story/project?

I dont want to spoil my fave storybeats but!! I simply love getting to go apeshit about detectives!! I love detectives!! I love detective tropes!!! This is a detective lovers zone!!!! if u dont love detectives then get da hell outta here!!!!!

As for the story i love getting to develop Anika and Marlow's relationship and seeing how it changes and reflects how they grow as people. they are simply Everything to me

[internetkatze]

oh yeah, if u havent seen it yet, here’s the Letterboxd list I made of movies we’ve been watching for research on Duskpuppy!

[internetkatze]

the thing about duskpuppy is that we are throwing all our favourite detective tropes in a blender so Marlow naturally represents the hardboiled film noir private investigator, Anika represents the eager amateur with a quirky weirdo flair more commonly found in british mysteries, but then there's Hal who represents the police procedural and as much as i love her as a character (and i love that people love her) she is A Cop and thats something we have to directly address in the stories if we wanna be thematically consistent
