FINALLY IT'S FUCKING DONE OH MY GOD

it took over 100 layers

and is apparently so big I can't upload it to tumblr. welp

it's all of our guys look at them

For those who haven't been here from the start, this is the full (excluding like three characters who never got a ref sheet afaik) list of characters for the Frankenstein sequel AU called From The Ship Logbooks that me and some of my mutuals have been playing around with for...

...three years in about a month.

And now for the first time I finally kicked myself into actually finishing a full reference sheet for the entire crew

Morten Bakken, Pierre D'Aboville, André Montmorency, Finn Olsen, Claude Roussel and Émile Doisneau belong to @pixelmuppet, Tristan Booker and Øyvind Pedersen belong to @mad-scientist-in-theory-2, Jack Corbyn, Lynx and Cadieux Auclaire belong to @the-gay-prometheus, Owain Rhys belongs to @aimless--jack, Winston Atkinson belongs to @dippydots, Tadgh Farrell belongs to @you-are-constance, Elias Golubev, Guy Renoir, Gustave Doisneau belong to @hermes-left-nut, Fintan O'Heaney, Martial Scott and Pierre Capret belong to @casual-owl, Nicu Boamos belongs to @hypo-critic-al, Valentine Laurent, Alexander Ivanov and Pierre Naudé belong to @severedfeetpics, Jacques Renoir and Johan Federssen belong to @corvidiss, Rune Hermansen, Mittens and Pierre Bellavoir belong to @twistedtriptych, Nikolai Antonov, Andrey Morozov and Enok Johansen belong to @a-model-of-propriety, Jens Aaberg belongs to @lordbrezel, the remaining characters were created in collab by me and @scarlet-being, and ofc Ernest Frankenstein, Robert Walton and Margaret Saville were created by Mary Shelley

*a single, quiet and exhausted wahoo*

[a-model-of-propriety]

Psst- let's get Enok's thoughts on all the Norwegian sailors ;3

Morten: iiiiii think we all know how Enok feels about Morten. they fambly <3

Johan: all depends on whether Soulier is in the area. If it’s just Johan, then they’re pretty chill. Got the occasional joke about the “Johan”/“Johansen” thing of course, but they’d get along decently well. If Soulier’s around, then Enok would… rather not be. Soulier brings far too much attention and chaos for Enok’s liking.

Finn: hmmm I think overall Enok likes Finn pretty well. It’s hard for Enok to really consider himself “friends” with anyone, but he does like spending time with Finn. Of course, Enok still prefers hiding out in the kitchen once Morten adopts him.

Mittens: Mittens is probably a bit too extroverted for Enok, especially at the beginning. I’m sure they’d talk a bit, but Enok would be pretty difficult to carry a conversation with.

Jens: Honestly, I dunno. Enok would probably consider him just another member of the crew, I guess. wow i really don’t remember much about Jens dkdjdj

Øyvind: I don’t know how much they’d actually talk to each other since they’re both more of wallflowers in conversations. They probably wouldn’t interact much with each other, but they’d be fine to chill in the same area eavesdropping

The New Year comes

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

pspspsps come get ur found family trope

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

dance night dance night dance night dance night dance night

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Who do you feel like is an underrated crew member and why ?

Johan

Johan my beloved, sunshine man, the only one who calms Soulier's chaos, quiet but always helpful, will listen to all your problems and secrets (and won't blackmail you)

Also feel like Louis and Fritz don't get enough attention which is mostly my fault but-

Oooooooh and Margaret definitely deserves so much more attention which is once again my fault for not giving her much spotlight but she's pretty much carrying the whole story on her back

Oh and Jens Aaberg, the botanist of the voyage, the Parsley Man\™ who is actually pretty damn important but I keep forgetting he exists

And Nicu and Cadieux. Chill guys. Cad, Nicu and Johan should form the ship's therapy department

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Have @corvidiss' boys Soulier and Johan

I barely ever draw them but they deserve some art too

Please pretend I know anything about how you hold a violin

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Testing hair/skin colors on some old doodles again and hhh realizing the skin colors are a mess and I'll have to fix them probably especially Victor is pissing me off cuz I color-picked his skin tone from the ref sheet I did a while ago and it was too dark, and color-picked Jindra from that one digital art of her and she was too light (I have since edited it but she was noticeably paler than Victor)

the Frankensteins should be the palest mf of the characters here ffs

I'm dreading to see just how many reference sheets will I have to change

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

The not-yet seen rest of the crew (mostly the adopt-a-sailor guys)! I've never drawn most of these or drew them only a few times so I'm still not used to their designs, sorry if I got any of them wrong!

In order from left to right -

Morten Bakken, the cook (@pixelmuppet), Jens Aaberg, botanist (@lordbrezel), Nico Boamos, able sailor (@hypo-critic-al), Jack Corbyn, sailmaker (@the-gay-prometheus), Fintan O'Heaney, able sailor (@casual-owl)

Nikita Sinitsin, the master (@scarlet-being), Thomas Andrew Smith, able sailor (@ask-gothc-lit-aus), Johan Federssen, able sailor (@corvidiss), Benedict Bage, astronomer, Horace Kottenau, geologist

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

So, so far the musicians of the crew include:

Soulier - violin, tambourine, spoons, apparently a triangle?

Nico - violin

Jack - cittern

Morten - kravik lyre

Winston - lyre harp

Tristan - guitar

Fritz - tin whistle

Enok - wood flute

Fintan - bodhrán drum

Johan - spoons

Nikolai - sticks + whatever surface

Thomas - borrows/steals Soulier's tambourine sometimes

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

A rare non-chaos moment for the chaos guy

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Just normal conversations between normal people

Meanwhile poor Robert is somewhere there like

Transcript:

[Arctic landscape, a note saying "super cold and empty"]

Benedict: Amazing. I give it a month until we run out of food and turn against each other like savage beasts

Thomas: Coward, I give it two weeks

Ernest: Good thing I'm too thin to be used for food

Margaret: I vote we eat Harcourt first before he rots away

Nico: Noble boy never had to work a single day in his life, gonna have soft meat

Fritz: I call dibs on Louis

Thomas: No, are you crazy?

Louis: :)

Thomas: Louis would feed the entire ship!

Louis: Thomas, I trusted you

Johan: But it's gonna be bland if we just roast it

Ernest: Pretty sure de Lesseps has some mummy powder. We can use it as seasoning

Jack: Pretty sure that guy is made of mummy powder

Thomas: Okay, okay, guys, but whoever you eat first, leave the left arm. I want a new one

De Lesseps: Absolutely not. That's wasting resources

Corbin: Actually, it might be wiser if we all cut off a limb, so we all have food but no one dies

Thomas: Sure but leave me the fuck out of it

Horace: No food for you then

Thomas: If you want my arm so bad, go to Italy, it might still be lying around somewhere

Benedict: Why don't we just eat Soulier? That guy's just a nuisance anyway

Fritz: Nah, wouldn't risk it. Pretty sure he's poisonous

Jack: Doubt it. I mean, Federssen is clearly still alive

Fintan: How does that-

Jack: Don't worry about it

Nikita: Hey, Morten! Ever cooked a human?

Morten: No, wanna be the first?

Still felt like drawing after finishing the Victor ref so here's some doodles

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

For the Christmas Market thing, Soulier would disappear and soon after, the musician plus a violin would start playing something that sounds suspiciously like Don't Stop Me Now. Johan plays and dances with the kids.

Oh yes definitely

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Louis, Johan, Margaret, Elizabeth: Eldest child (honorific)

Ernest, de Lesseps: Middle child (professional diagnosis)

Stefan, Robert: Youngest child (affectionate)

Djinn: Only child (derogatory)
