@asterclaw Well, late congratulations? Now that number has grown even more and I think you deserve it, cutie. I love your drawings, the colors you use and the subjects. This looks cool!
Still, I managed to finish this drawing on time. To be honest, it was difficult. I drew this for several days in a row because the paper literally didn't want my materials to lay down well. I will never try to draw in this album with anything other than regular pens or felt-tip pens again, heh
lines from the song: лунный бард - тёмное королевство
fuck you *lethal companies your in stars and time*
(long) exposition under cut (spoilers for ISAT + lethal company logs)
This au takes place around the time of sigurd's logs/before them (i haven't decided if Sigurd's crew exists here or not yet)!
Siffrin was someone who used to live on the Golden Planet before it got eaten. They may not remember anything beyond being found in an escape pod, but they're still paralyzed by fear when getting close to the selling window. He's always first in the facilities, making jumps, braving traps, and heading as deep as he can for scrap.
Mirabelle and Isabeau are the medic and fighter respectively, who both came from the same moon colony. They were both pressured into taking jobs by a work-based society, and applied for the company under the impression that it was a short, high-paying internship with nebulous risks.
Odile is their resident ship manager. She keeps a watchful eye over everyone and relays information about monsters, scrap, etc. In absolutely dire situations, she may come help with scrap. Despite claiming to be a first-timer, her badge says Leader??
Nille and Bonnie ended up with the crew after taking a chance to run away from their parents. Seeing a high-paying job that provided everything and would take them far away sounded too good to pass up. Nille lied about Bonnie's age to take them with her. After seeing the reality of this job, though, she regrets not finding another way out. Bonnie is permanently on ship-duty; they mainly type in whatever numbers Odile tells them. Nille is also a fighter, though she prefers the weighty stop sign as opposed to Isabeau's shovel.
Loop, after hundreds upon thousands of quotas, dying every possible death, learning everything they could- even the real identity of The Company- realizes there was one thing they've never done before. They've never died to The Company. Desperate for a way out, and haunted by the whispers and screams beyond the wall, they give themselves up. Maybe that would finally satisfy the monster- to have devoured every last piece of the Golden Planet. Maybe their crew could finally rest easy that way. Well, they didn't loop back. But through the dark and damp, there's static on the walkie talkie. Loop picks up, and hears their own voice just beyond the wall.
(Loop's design is the most different by far, since instead of consuming a star, they themselves are slowly getting digested. They're inspired by the visual of red crying faces from the logs :D)
Decided this week to doodle up some art of @crabsnpersimmons raincoat Sun and Moon designs from their Rain or shine AU! The designs are super cute so I just had to doodle something up for them!
I wonder if they would make some little froggy friends while splashing in puddles, I can sure imagine they'd have fun hopping along with them!
So having talked with some friends about the Sun and Moon from eaps (or peas as we like to call it hence 'Sunpea' and 'Moonpea') i decided for fun to throw them into the mer au as twin pups who Eclipse finds all tangled up in a rockpool. The babies would have lost their parent(s) to a predator so Ruin and Eclipse take them in and now the roommates are gay uncles!
So about the peas - While they were stuck in the netting, Moonpea had more swimming freedom but Sunpea was the one tangled up the worst and was hurt by the movement. Moonpea would try to swim slowly, but Sunpea would still struggle from the pain and lash out clawing up Moonpeas arms resulting in the scars.
After rescue Sunpea would be terrified to swim in the ocean again for a while as well as be physically weakened from having been stuck in a restrictive and painful state prior, hence the learning to swim again. Moonpea also would need to learn how to swim properly again as while he isn't as physically weakened, he developed bad movement patterns from being trapped but he's not as nervous about it as Sunpea is.
