Stress/Obsessed Drawing

Image
I had a few ideas dump into my head today.  Why can't this ever happen during the weekend?  Weekend: "I could write." crickets chirp.  Weekdays with deadlines: "I have GOT to finish these questi-." "OMG!!! WHAT IF---?!  And then--- OH!  THEY CONNECT!  Get that dialogue down before you forget it and write something stupid and wooden!" And then I got stressed.  Dr Nannen's Rx for stress: do that thing that you like.  Sure, yes, it's just doodling, you'll be right as rain real fast. :[ Dad was right.  You never really become an adult.  At least I don't.  :{ So, first off, I got this entire little dynamic with 3 baby-sitters/body guards, and one in particular had a very clear look in my head.  I got the gist of it down, I can't... weird 90's colors on a polyester jacket are kinda random and I can't hold that clear enough.  I bet I'm just remembering some stereotype side character I've seen before.  I'll worry

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees Cuz I want honey on my table. [I do what I want, I do what I please! I'll do it again 'till I've got what I need!] But I never get it right....   "No, I never get it right!

I'm so fond of this concept that dropped in my head, i had to draw it to figuratively walk around and get a good look at its points for expansion.  And oh, it has points.  (I mean, come on--gods waking up after 600 years has to be pretty epic!) I'm thinking it ought to cut back and forth between serenity and warrior goddesses action.  But maybe a longer pause is fine, with the post-breach explosion developments being punctuated instead.  (I did not draw that far.) In my head, I have already remapped some things before Izumi is lost in the forest of her own soul, and bumps into the devious undead god. But the pictures are not updated, so just take that all with a grain of salt a little bigger than the rest.  (He is looking terrifically fresh in his element.  ... The human heart.) The Frija duo is a cool development, but the pacing is drastically altered from an angry goddess shoving an artifact into Izumi's heart.  That, with only one or 3 spoken lines.  Now it's

Desperate Enough to Even Ask

If you can't tell another human about your tribulations, why not lay them before god?  Who knows, maybe they will finally realize that ruining your life wasn't in anyone's best interests? Ha!  You wish! https://youtu.be/0GtuS7y6pmE *Note, she displays dangerous levels of disrespect trashing those offerings.

I tried that.  Most pleased with the face in second panel. For some scant reference, I'm thinking about a fight that happens with team Izumi-Clayton vs Cain.  They are basically meeting him for the first time.  They have some serious baggage going into it, with Izumi murderously pissed off at Clayton, having tried to break their contract unsuccessfully when she got her feelings STABBED IN THE BACK. Cain has the singular ability to cut relationships.  And he's learned how to turn allies on each other and watch the slaughter. "It's enough that they no longer see someone as "human."" Clayton is just as stubbornly holding on as ever, but Cain just cuts Izumi's regard towards him.  She quickly starts attacking him like he's a big spider.  sticks with her repertoire up to this point, vs opening up with her full potential.  (There is also a sub text that cain is arguing that necromancy isn't immoral, it is right in line with human nature.  Wholes

Ya stuff. Then I kept drawing by accident.  "Just get her sliding into the seat," she said.  "We can go to bed after that." A little chose up to help with reading.

Editing dialogue after drawing a picture is not so bad

Image
Do I have before photos?  NO!  I was unhappy with it, WHY would I take a  photo? Anyway, this is mostly to share with sis. I am frustrated that so far all I've really drawn is talking.  Or worse: thinking.  BORING.  Yet obviously not to me.  But at least I realized that I can have my stupid words puttering along with the picture telling a second story. I need to get some sick outer conflict going on to spice this ish up with. And then take this OBVIOUS so-and-so-thinks this monologue and only pepper the (much more interesting) future scenes with allusions to the ideas. But this is what I have for now.  A reasonable rough draft. Oh, and I hated with a capital H the original thinking lines.  (I just drew/wrote that part, vs  the conversation, which was already typed and somewhat edited in my jotterpad app.)  So I did a complete re-haul.  Cut out a pic that didn't even fit anymore, and changed his face and hands in the last one. ...Which I am MUCH more pleased with.  I
