Emil

I'm so late for this fandom, but I just finished SSSS and it was so. fricking. good. I binged the whole thing in 4 days, haha.

I seriously can't pick a favourite out of the main cast so I'm just gonna draw them all. Decided to start with Emil because Mr. Sparkly Hair just has to go first.

Apologies for the bad quality, my phone camera is doing its best, desperately. I put my tag upside down too, but I'm too lazy to fix it. I hope I'll have time to redo this digitally later.

Sooooo... I commited this. And I have the feeling I'm not as ashamed I should be.

Propaganda from submitters Under Cut

Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian

Richard is a gentle, caring man who is determined to create a place where people can be free of discrimination and judgment. He can be awkward and sarcastic at times, but always because he's trying to help other people at expensive of his own feelings and tries to push people away. He gets incredibly invested in people extremely easily, and massively overpays his only employee and even takes him out of the country when the employee (Seigi) can't stand living at home because of his PTSD. He is a sweet, caring man who canonically is extremely overly affectionate and doesn't know how to dial it back.

Richard. Richaaaaaard. Richard, light of my life, spark of my soul. Richaaaaaard. The man who refuses to judge anyone who walks through his door. Lesbian? Absolutely. Trans? No problem. Kidding yourself because a guy dumped you? Shhh, believe in yourself. Aroace? That's fine; if you don't want to be in a relationship, don't be. In love with your stepmother? He doesn't care at all. Don't buy something from him? That's good, too. But lie to someone? Play with their feelings? Cheat and scam people? Get read to be scammed back, you jerks. The man who nearly fired his employee for accidentally othering a lesbian in his own head. The man who waited 12 hours outside a train station just in case his employee got his feelings hurt so he could comfort him after. A guy who gave a classmate an international plane ticket just because as a kid. Who cried for hours when his childhood dog died. Richard is the sweetest, kindest, most awkward man, and he deserves more votes. And now, this. He taps his feet when eating pudding, y'all. [link to propaganda images]

Emil Västerström

There's another character called Lalli who is quiet and neurodivergent and can come across as rude, and even while Emil is unnerved by him at first, he is SO kind to Lalli from the start! He tries to comfort him on the train! He gets him food! He gives him his jacket (page 383)! He keeps talking to him and spending time with him despite the language barrier, AND then he learns Finnish for Lalli even though Emil has never been one to study languages before! And Emil doesn't abandon Lalli when he's basically stuck unconscious, instead carefully dragging his body with him through a dangerous environment and keeping it safe the best he can even though it slows him down and lessens his chance of ever reuniting with the rest of the party and getting to go back home. Emil is also really good with kids, as seen when the party stops in Mora before their adventure. He also feels really bad for the zombie animals he has to kill... (Chapter 7) and! he finds and saves a stray kitten :3

please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks these two look alike.

rambles under the cut

The dates are skewed but I literally have no idea how to do them better, Prague Race ran from 2008 to 2018/19, then went on hiatus and the website was taken down in 2021. Emil's first concept sketches are from 2011 and 2012 but Minna drew a similar looking character even earlier. Anyway, Emil's first appearance in the comic was in 2014 so I chose this date. Lastly, another similarity they share: their comics ended in unusual circumstances. Prace was cancelled and taken down and SSSS cut short and got got a bland, rushed ending due to the author's conversion to christianity. bleh

Reynir

Second one done! I personally think he is the true Mr Sparkly Hair of the group (sorry Emil), I loooove the floof. I feel bad because I kept forgetting his name and calling him Ragnar throughout the comic... That one beautiful scene in the comic with Reynir sitting in the boat at the waterfall in his dream is engraved into my memory. He is a Disney princess trapped in a Scandinavian Resident Evil.

Emil looks so tiny next to him, haha.

(Why is my phone camera so bad tho)

[warmwalker-arts]

Another one! Emil from Stand Still, Stay Silent! Had fun coloring this one! Might pause for a bit to work on Inktober, and some character design practice. But will come back to finish the gang!
