atsv solidified my belief that live action cape movies (even some of the recent dc animated ones) rly kinda feel lifeless to me bc their worlds genuinely are without people. if movies r stuck in the founder/origin only phase of their lives so much we will never get a scene with just dozens of preexisting heroes just milling around running their own plots and lives in the background of a movie of a particular character. noticeable cameos even if most don’t talk just existing is something that is so fulfilling to me and the most comiclike thing you can do. people are also a component of worldbuilding. but live action movies will just have 5 guys or something and no other heros besides them get a cameo or namedrop so they’re the only ppl in the universe I guess

like I don’t actually mean big teams I mean. posters and commercials having public hero figures advertising. someone in a convo mentioning c or b list heroes casually. a running in-universe gag about x hero/team. idk making it known tht there is a world here already established and full and vibrant

As I mentioned before, I'm auditing an art class for making comics. I'm just going to follow along with what the class is doing since as an audit I don't get to show my work for critique.

I bought a bunch of "couples" reference poses and I couldn't help but convert to fanart since I've been rereading so much fanfic.

Also, I'm trying to find a graphic style that I like (that I can draw more than one frame a week). My realistic illustrator style is like 6 weeks per illo so it's not ideal for comics. My last Remi+Scourge drawing was my "natural" style. Which is just what I draw when I'm defining edges with line art. I kind of yearn to have a really graphic style with dynamic shapes, but my designs haven't been working out for that yet so natural it is for now. Maybe someday.

Anyway another attempt at comics or semi-comiclike things may be incoming.

@cry-stars:

Really good additions!!! Especially the way the presentation as a comic, both in the art style and the panel structure, is unique to them. That reminds me of how V3's interface- specifically the way they display the POV character in a side panel in conversations- struck me as awfully comiclike the other day. Maybe it's supposed to create a similar feeling, in the same way DR2's interface feels more video-gamey than the others.

I've been following @druidposting's DR2 playthrough on discord and we just had a really good discussion about DR's Closing Arguments. Specifically the way the murderer is depicted as grey and featureless, which until now I found a bit annoying.

In Danganronpa it's repeatedly the case that we don't have the full picture until the talking actually stops- which always goes beyond the end of the trial. We generally vote first and come to understand what the murderer's actual motive was, sometimes filling in important pieces of the timeline in the process, afterwards.

But none of that matters for the killing game because characters' emotions aren't directly relevant to who was the 'blackened'- the only thing that matters to Monokuma- so it comes out afterwards and does nothing to change their execution. It doesn't matter how sympathetic they are (basically everyone) or whether other people share responsibility for the situation (eg. Hanamura, Pekoyama, Momota) or whether they intended to murder at all (Nanami). They objectively pulled the trigger and nothing else matters. Nothing about them as a person matters.

The Closing Argument mechanic might illustrate that problem- literally. They're a dramatic, conclusive summary of the entire case... constructed before the vote even happens, before we know if we're actually right, and they're missing something really important:

The actual perpetrator.

We quite literally don't even begin to see the real person behind the crime, any real exploration of their mental state, anything besides the cold, hard facts of the murder that are necessary to convict them, until the comic finishes and the protagonist makes their final accusation- replacing the grey figure with their real appearance in a shot that's often intensely emotional.

And these comics lack crucial parts of the case's timeline and sometimes important parts of the very scenes they depict that we only find out about afterwards. And those are what we know; characters may die with some pieces of the truth and prevent us from ever learning them. These aren't objective depictions of the murder, they're the protagonist's subjective attempt to connect the facts they have. A join-the-dots portrait of someone with missing dots and no colour.

Even characters' expressions may not match how they truly feel, with the grey placeholder potentially looking way more confident and sinister than they were in reality. Pasting Falter's commentary here since they put it well.

For obvious reasons this could especially be a problem for characters that die before the trial- the ones we never get a post-vote testimony from. DR1 chapter 4 really highlighted that in the way Asahina's huge misinterpretation of Oogami's feelings took up a lot of the post-trial discussion, only for Monokuma to reveal Oogami's real suicide note and recontextualise everything.

It might really be a problem for how Komaeda's depicted in DR2 chapter 5. While he isn't greyed out, we get panel after panel where he's either level-headed or maniacally evil, and even the depictions of his self-torture and death don't humanise him:

But we know that his real feelings were more complicated than that. We have his actual corpse to compare the last page to.

He died afraid.

If we approach the comic as Hinata's mental image of him instead of reality, he died without anyone truly understanding him. He was alarming, very hard to relate to, actively fought against people doing so, ensured even the killer didn't watch him die, and the survivors couldn't begin to understand his motive until a chapter later. The Closing Argument reflects that.

Early in DR1 Togami calls out the rest of his class for judging others by their own standards. However, he, too, is doing this, maybe more so than many other characters; his inability to view other people through anything but the cold, brutal logic of the killing game bites him in the ass in chapter 4. In DR2 chapter 2 voting without a good understanding of Pekoyama's motive or Kuzuryuu's involvement nearly got everyone killed. Komaeda's a walking embodiment of the problems with flattening people into caricatures and not empathising with them, suffered from people doing that back to him, and his case- the Closing Argument for which turned everyone else into grey placeholders- was impossible to solve with objective facts. It was only survivable because the survivors cooperated and one person tried to analyse things the way he would.

The games have always been a critique of the justice system and Japanese society and push us to care about others as individuals, not reduce them to- and judge their right to exist by- something they've done or their net impact on society. There are always consequences when someone neglects to do that, and the above might be yet another way the games explore that theme.

A Rescue Raven

Request for @sickduckweirdo​ (requests are always open btw! Rules on the bottom of pinned post)

So! She requested cursed Lilith eating Eda to protect her. She mentioned it following a story (I’m being vague, I know) so I ended up doing a more comiclike thing than usual. With a lot of drawings.

I’ll add a bit of text in between to piece the story together a little more understandably, since not everybody with interpret what I drew the way I pictured it in my mind!

What do I do? The words repeated in Lilith’s head over and over again. Her and, more specifically, Eda were being chased and close to being caught. She stopped in her tracks as an idea formed in her mind. Eda is not going to be happy about this...

(rest is under read more)

Eda noticed her sister stopping. “Lily?” she called out, watching her with a raised eyebrow as she stare at their pursuers. “Why did you stop?”

A growly screech sounded from her older sister, before she was gone. She stepped backwards, staring up at the massive demon that had replaced her.

Lilith did not want to do this, but she didn’t see any other options. I’m sorry, Eda...

Eda didn’t have time to react before the beast’s jaws opened wide and it began to swallow her alive.

The people giving chase stopped, most having fled the moment they had seen they were no longer just dealing with magicless witches. But a few stuck around to see if they could still fight it to get Eda from it. Not a chance, apparently.

Lilith’s throat was tight and, from what Eda could already feel, her stomach wouldn’t be much roomier. Not that that mattered... Still, this was a very uncomfortable place to spend her last moments.

Lilith gave a final strong swallow to force the rest of Eda down into her stomach. She took off as soon as she could.

Lilith held her chest in flight, hoping Eda wasn’t going to be as furious with her as she was expecting.

Extra text bit for comedic reasons:

And that’s that request done! Please leave a like or reblog and like! Reblogs are very very very REALLY VERY MUCH important to me! It makes me really happy and it feels incredibly rewarding for my hard work.

No pressure though! (only towards the requester XD seriously though, you specifically should reblog it) Likes are pretty great too!

I sound desperate lol I would just really like it if people reblogged stuff more. But I get that’s not really how people roll nowadays, so I’m not expecting it, just naively hoping for it.

Either way!

Thanks for taking a look at this and I hope you have a fantastic day/night! <3

April- day12 Trip Okay, I'm halfway there! This already seems quite comiclike. I'm still far from where I want to be, but over time ... a little more practice ======================= I wanted to write you a little story, a little dialogue, but ... I think the drawing says it all. Lupins often go hiking, often in the woods around Burrow, or just around Hogsmeade. And Tonks is already teaching the song so he can sing in his school years. #remadora #remuslupin #nymphadoratonks #teddylupin #fanart #harrypotter #hogwarts #lupins #illustration #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #digitalartist #procreate #procreateart #procreatedrawing #couplegoals #comics #riellesarts #apridoodle21 https://www.instagram.com/p/CN22DiGA0EI/?igshid=d93ptk4pvjao
