i've been wanting to design a ✧✧✧ mahou shounen ⚔ space combat ✧✧✧ story for a while now, but aside from jotting down and doodling the occasional notes from ideas that suddenly pop into my head, i haven't been able to come up with anything concrete.

i'm the worst when it comes to forming a proper plot.  the most i can manage is coming up with a set of characters i will never use/never draw again.

BUT!!!  i'm trying to change this for real this time!  i really want to do something with this MSSC idea.

this is Crozier/Croze/Crow/Gross. the left half of my twinduo that i always draw but never post/talk about.  i've been drawing and thinkin bout them for nearly two years.  two years!!  it's about time i do something more with them.  they deserve more than unfinished sketches that never see the light of day.

i actually drew this image close to a year ago, but never put it up here because i thought i'd save it until i finished drawing Shackleton/Shack/Shark/Tacky to go with it.
aaaaaand a year later and i still haven't started that piece. :I  i'll get to it some day.  even though i probably can't draw like that anymore.

i think it was around this time last year that i started to be interested in the idea of space combat w/out heavymachinery and Gundams and ships and Daleks.  just plain ol' hand2hand, dagger2dagger duels in the great nothingness.  i also finished Ender's Game around this time last year.  so that was a huge influence?

 

and earlier on in the year i kind of stuck with this theme of youth and objects/daggers as companions.
i really liked (and still like!! this is a rare thing!) the stuff i made for my semesterlong theme, and this is one of my favourite images ever.  i worked on the bottom image for a long time, redrawing everything (like the hands/knives/face/etc) at least a good 5-10 times.  it took a lot of tracing paper and lead.
i bought a lot of lead during the winter semester............

i was going to turn it into a litho etching (is that what it's called? when you scrape into the ink to make a print?) but i really screwed up just before printing, and was unable to pull any prints at all on an image i worked 2.5 months on haha.  IT WAS A LEARNING PROCESS.

 

pin case collection

(fits one cigarette)

i've always loved the badges in Pokemon and the idea of collecting them in a case (i still want my own set!!), so i decided it would be a good idea if my spacecombat babes had their own badge case too, but for daggers.  everyone wants dagger pins, right?  gonna try to make this a real thing either with sculpey or the power of a laser cutter.

each dagger pin you collect grants you the ability to upgrade and customize certain parts of your uniform&tools.

this particular pin case also lets you carry your official brigade badge, two bandages for quick first aid, happypill/diamondpill/toothvitamin/phasesofthemoon pain killers, antidotes, and suppressants, an emergency cigarette, and a bow clip for your hair.

☺☺☺

idk this whole project is a massive work in progress, but i'm really excited about it and it's nice to have a default thing to draw/think about when i'm going through art blocks (which is more often than not, now that i'm done school).

ohyea there's another piece of shocking news.

(shocking to me, i mean)

i'm done school WHAT NOW

Prehistoric Black Hole
This artist's conception illustrates one of the most primitive supermassive black holes known (central black dot) at the core of a young, star-rich galaxy. Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have uncovered two of these early objects, dating back to about 13 billion years ago.

The monstrous black holes are among the most distant known, and appear to be in the very earliest stages of formation, earlier than any observed so far. Unlike all other supermassive black holes probed to date, this primitive duo, called J0005-0006 and J0303-0019, lacks dust.

also, Neptune may have eaten a planet and stolen its moon (found via mutations.tumblr.com)
