Projet d'Octobre

(english under the french and picture)

Pour inktober, Drawloween et juste parce que j’ai envie, j’ai décidé que le mois d’octobre sera consacré à lancer un projet personnel.

Et professionnel. Enfin semi-professionnel.

Bon, ok, ça fait un moment que je me dis qu’il faudrait que je me remette au story board et après avoir fouillé mes vieux projets (20 ans et +, j’ai mal) j’ai décidé de tenter l’exercice sur un des scénarios de court métrage que je voulais proposer pendant ma scolarité à Supinfocom mais sur lequel j’avais chocotté au dernier moment.

Swing Macabre

Je vous présenterais tous les personnages au fur et à mesure, mais pour commencer voici mes buts.

But 1 : Définir le design d’un des deux personnages principaux, l’adorable François, et accessoirement, éventuellement, le style graphique du tout.

But 2 : Faire une illustration de François, pour me servir de carte d’Halloween.

But 3 : Définir le design du second personnage principal, parce qu’à l’époque, c’était une self insert très très vaguement déguisée, on va tenter de lui donner une vraie personnalité (ce qui va être dur pour une histoire courte et sans parole) et tant qu’à faire, un nom, parce que la jeune fille et la mort, ça va un moment mais c’est long.

But 4 : Définir le design des personnages secondaires, entre autres l’Ankou, les Deuillants, les Grâces, Les Pendus et la Dame Blanche (et les poneys de l’Ankou. Si j’ai le temps)

But 5 : Commencer le story-board.

But 6 : Avancer le storyboard le plus possible.

But 7 : Finir ? … Naaaaaaan.

Petit warning !

Le titre est Swing Macabre. Voilà. C’est le warning.

Plus sérieusement : A part la Jeune Fille, tout le monde dans cette histoire est un squelette, plus ou moins décharné, inspiré par les transis et autres monuments funéraires.

Cette histoire parlera de deuil, d’acceptation de la mort et d’un squelette bariolé qui danse le swing.

Et sans transition, voici la première image du projet !

For Inktober, Drawloween and just because I want to, I decided October will be dedicated to a personal project’s launch.

Personal and professional. Kinda.

Well, ok, I have been trying to fill my portfolio recently and I wanted to do a bit of story boarding and after digging up my old projects (20 years and more, it’s painful) I decided to try with the scenario of a short film  I wanted to do when I was in school but chickened out at the last moment.

Swing Macabre

You will meet all the characters in time, but for the beginning, here are my goal.

Goal 1: Designing one of the main characters, the adorable François and, if possible, the art style.

Goal 2: Do a full color illustration of François, so I can use it as a Halloween card.

Goal 3: Designing the second main character, because at the time, it was a thinly veiled self-insert, so I need to give her a real personality (which is going to be hard in speechless short story) and while I��m at it, I need to give her a name because calling her The Maiden of The Death is a bit LONG.

Goal 4: Designing the secondary characters, among them, the Ankou, the Mourners, The Graces, the Hanged men and the White Lady (and the Ankou’s ponies. If I have the time.)

Goal 5: Starting the storyboard

Goal 6: Advancing the story board as much as I can.

Goal 7: Finishing? … Naaaaaah.

Small content warning!

The title of the project is Swing Macabre. That’s it. That’s the warning.

More seriously: Beside the Maiden, everyone in this story is a more or less gaunt skeleton, inspired by Medieval and Renaissance’s Transis and others funerary monuments.

This story will be about mourning, death acceptance and a colorful skeleton dancing the swing.

How Bill was defeated and captured by Ford in my Gf AU! He basically just tricked Bill into accepting a deal that trapped him within Ford's mind and under his control :]

He may have gotten a little out of hand though....

aaaaa. iii needed to make something self indulgent!!!! and for me that means drawing Bonnie and also putting a frankly stupid amount of work into rendering food!! outside of the onigiri and spaghetti (kind of), most of these were firsts for me and GOD im so happy with the results. i’ve seen a few people say that my art makes them hungry teehee. i hope this illicits the same reaction! please enjoy :3

here’s the greyscale version!! iii don’t think it’s As Appetizing as the colored version and the values are a little messy but! it exist !

The @tmntaucompetition is no place for a tiny tot to be left alone, especially with all these rowdy teens running amok. My heart just broke when I saw little Kid Leo crying, @angelpuns and @red-rover-au, and I knew Replica Leo's would too. Problem is they're probably going to be searching for a while cuz Replica Leo is looking for other unsupervised children. Oops.

This is in response to these couple of threads I've seen going around: COMIC 1 - COMIC 2 - COMIC 3 - COMIC 4 - COMIC 5

You kids need to all calm down!

one downside to digital mediums of art is that you cant see the tear stains (they just slide down the screen)

Banner illustration for NAAFA by Bats Langley

Hey everyone!! Did you know that this August is the third annual Fat Liberation Month? The month is organized by NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance), and it's something I didn't know about until I randomly wondered earlier this year if we have a month for our movement, and looked it up. I've never seen anyone talk about it, so I want to change that!!

Through the month of August, I'm going to be drawing lots of fat art, and I would encourage any artists who see this post to do the same. Draw body types you've never tried drawing before! Draw bodies that are bigger than society's "acceptable" level of fatness! Use references (fatphotoref, Morpho Fat and Skin Folds, my own Pinterest reference board)! Perhaps even draw yourself with complete honesty, without trimming out the parts of yourself that make you self conscious, to help better understand and accept your body!

If you participate in this event, please tag your fat art with #Fat Liberation Month, so that I can see and share your work. Have fun and help spread the visibility for this really cool and underrepresented event! 🎉✨
