Hey @bansidheking MERRY CALIBRATION! I chose to do “She Mourns the Lost Sky” of your two babs, though Swift Handed Soren’s little ear fins were very tempting. I _loved_ Sky’s feather mantle and skirt; I gave them some magpie-esque iridescence.  This is in graphite, sepia, silver, and white ink, and a smidge of colored pencil for some tinting on toned tan paper, since that’s what I have while I float between permanent housing and still saving up for a tablet to replace the stolen one.  I hope you like it!!  AND! If you would like the hard-copy original of this, please let me know/message me an address I can mail it to you, and I will be Happy to send it you!!  (tagging @shiftingpath too for organizational purposes)

“so like who do i have to kill to get a gmd webcomic”

gmd?

[laser eyes activate]

gmd, or the glassmaker’s dragon, is a campaign for cmwge, or chuubos marvelous wish-granting engine, a tatterpig i have vowed to never shut up about. the glass-maker’s dragon is about: well, once there was a rider of the apocalypse and a glassmaker, and one convinced the other to make a dragon, and it raged and would have destroyed the world, except it broke instead. and we’re all dealing with that

gmd features 8 sample characters, each of which is presented with several possible variations. these are so charming that everyone loves them and talks about them all the time, and usually plays as them or one of the variations. they are:

chuubo (no last name), who built a machine in his shed that grants wishes. pretty straightforward. you can see and interact with his daydreams. he wished a) everything would be ok b) for some ice cream c) that he could have his ice cream and eat it (or some variation on the joke i dont recall exactly). if chuubo is a girl she’s usually called shokyou instead. i forgot to mention chuubo can turn into a giant snake but it will NOT help

seizhi schwan, chuubo’s best friend! seizhi is really good at being a best friend! chuubo wished for a best friend and there seizhi was! seizhi doesnt have imposter syndrome about this or the fact that the wish-granting engine basically grabbed a shapeless eldritch blob out of nowhere and turned it into a best friend! its fine!

leonardo da montreal, the nightmare scientist. this one time the sun died but leo ripped his heart out to replace it, and now he cant experience friendship or love. (that is to say, he can totally experience friendship and love, as long as he loudly declares that NO THIS IS JUST RIVALRY BEHAVIOR) oh yeah he’s chuubos rival and he has an incomparable nightmare engine and lots of horrible biomechanical nightmare inventions. we all love him very much. the girl version is dulcinea da montreal and the robot version is leo VII and the necromancer version is leonardo d’avignon

rinley yatskaya, the troublemaker. rinley’s a kid of one of the shrine families around town, they’re a storyteller and they’re named after a legendary ancestor and they like to make trouble. rinley’s name is rinley no matter what which led to a lot of gender talk so now theyre canonically nb i think. rinley is also rinley no matter what family theyre from but the default is friends with cats as well as the talking fortitude rats, some of the other families are not so nice. anyways rinley has a power where they can do retroactively do stuff offscreen and i love them

miramie, the... dream witch? is that her appellation? shes very tired and she hangs out in this professors archive and she appears in dreams sometimes wearing a mask. and i dont remember whether or not its supposed to be obvious that shes the rider who tried to destroy the world, but she kinda broke with it and shes retired and sad now. she has some connection to chuubo that is maybe romantic?

jasper, the child of the sun. ok remember how the sun died well she was also an angel and jasper is her kid but jasper isnt an angel. you see the sun got shot down by Death and death is also jaspers dad its really complicated. anyways jasper is sort of nebulously implied to be on track to take her moms place in some way, there are a lot of portents and miracles, however the more important thing is jasper has a power that lets her eat Anything. no matter size or substance or scale. also she can grow multiple limbs to take care of problems

natalia, whose epithet i dont remember. natalia is new to town she crossed the lake which connects to uhhh dont worry about that but shes from russia. she underwent hardcore soviet training in either ice skating or kung fu or psychic powers or all three. she can be superhumanly good at anything except processing emotions

principal entropy ii. entropy runs horizon academy, a hereditary job he took over from his dad. entropy also moonlights as the angel of fortitude, a vigilante on a motorbike who mostly helps old ladies cross the road since there isnt much crime in fortitude. e2′s hands are always bleeding and that blood can mutate you so watch out. he uses it to make hall monitors. principal entropy is like just barely old enough to be out of school himself he is not qualified to be a principal. he is exactly old enough to lament hes too old for this when the other gmd kids get him caught up in their bullshit

🖊+star star star

i dont talk abt stars character as in depth as i should... i feel like i wind up making a lot of “haha funnee guy eats stuff he shouldnt” jokes but he’s got a lot more development than i let on i guess. sometimes i think its easy to forget that he was like a moderately successful young adult before some Stuff happened and I wish i discussed/explored that angle of him more outside of within my own brain
