[Sketch & Pen Undercut]

Also it wasn't meant to be a It Takes Two To Tango piece buuuut

I ended up discovering the song while I was sketching a dance pose for them & you know what. Bonus motivation

As much as I'm sure Mark Jennings would like to believe otherwise, I'd like to think he's a lot more affected by death then he ever let on. Not in a way that debilitates him, but in a way that at least makes him more paranoid. Especially when it comes to people he actually does care about. Namely I'd imagine Bryon & Ponyboy. Through his defensiveness of them and in his sheer panic if he sees them beat to a pulp.

I'd fully believe he was the type to have night terrors after the deaths of his parents. To the point he'd wake up in the middle of the night and would probably often watch Bryon sleeping to make sure he was still breathing.

It'd never be anything he'd outwardly show easily or maybe not even realize himself. But that is also such a massive way he trusts or loves and for a guy who maybe liked two or three people tops, that trust being shot point blank (deserved or not) has to feel like a train crashing into him.

Hello hello!! Absolutely pumped for the Myth’s Voyage AU :DD!!

What made you pick certain characters for certain roles? I’m particularly interested by Owen as Antinous 👀👀

Bare with me this is gonna be a doozy

I'll be honest. It all started with me being real emotionally attached to p!Will & me falling down a rabbit hole of associating the song "Open Arms" with him because- even if I'm not fully read on p!Will's story & character- the way I've come to view him is a relatively forgiving and optimistic type of person. So him as Polities came natually.

I also have a frequent habit of doing a thing where when I associate one character to one song/character of a musical, I start to try and figure if there's way to fit in other characters.

I believe what came next was Sausage and if I recall correctly, that was due to 1. Me just liking Sausage all together and 2. Me seeing him as the most "Captian-Like" guy in pirates. Also revolving around headcanons, others' interpretations, and maybe an artist or two's ways of drawing him. After that, Joel & Hermes as Penelope and Telemachus came pretty easy. I've also played around with previous ideas of "What if Joel was in Pirates SMP" and added in my constant Empires Brainrot ™️, that all just fell into place.

I believe Lizzie was my first established God cos. Giant fish/ocean associated person, yk. And then Jimmy as Polyphemus due to fishy relations and then I think Fwhip was actually my next one due to the "silly & unhinged" vibes I got from Epic Hermes. Then with a lot more stubborn brain storming, more and more gods fell into place as I started following an Empires Season 1 pattern with the Gods

Krow was also a fun one to workshop in cos I also don't know much about his Canon character but what I do know & just the fascination I've gotten with him, I thought he fit the role of Eurylochus pretty well. Mostly on the side of more of a survivor when it comes down to a "You vs Me" mentality & leaning more on aggressive tactics when it comes to handling certain situations. He is one of the ones I'm certain doesn't fall into complete Canon-type of personality, but I like how my au's Krow is a lot.

Now. The fun situation with the suitors and Ithica in general.

I can explain a bit further if anyone's interested, but the way my storyline worked out is that there's actually no Herons that are part of Sausage's crew in the story. They're either still on the Faction Isles or traveling elsewhere. Having said that, when I came around to figuring out Antinous, it was right when I was finding out very bare-bones about him. And given that the Heron characters will ideally be characters shown on "Ithica" I was working to see if anyone would fit that roll.

Having said that, Antinous was noted down in my "Working-Out" list with the note of "Mr. Steal your wife and kill your son" and while discussing my character plans with my partner, we started to joke about Antinous being Owen. Given her more player-esque personality, at the time I figured it'd be a decent fit- or at least a place holder- for a character who I started to think was just someone wanting to court "Penelope".

However, thinking more on it & finding out better how Antinous plays in this story, I started getting more invested in the idea of Owen still being him. The idea of Owen becoming a villain, manipulative with his charm and almost vindictive in her motives just started to appeal more and more to me.

When this takes place, it's 20 years since the rough-end of Pirates SMP, following Epic the Musical's timeline. A lot can change in a person in 20 years. Seeing the Factions fall, loves in your life die or disappear, people coming into power that you feel either don't deserve it or are strangers who don't understand all that's happened here or you feel are too weak irresponsible to handle it. It can grate on a person, certainly.

P!Owen is, once again, another character I'm unfortunately not fully familiar with, though that may change if i have a chance to watch his pov in the future. And who knows, maybe I'll workshop the story, change e!Owen's personality or motives, maybe even choose someone else entirely to fit the role.

But as it stands, the idea of e!Owen, 20 years in the future with heavens knows how much baggage and pent up anger and frustrations left on his shoulders starting to get desperate or almost hungry even for some sort of control or power or just even a sense of stability in her life just seems to be a very interesting & fun-to-work-with storyline to me.

Thinking about seeing Owen getting aggressive and animalistic and breaking that carefully-crafted facade of charm and control when it comes to fighting and trying to kill someone just. It's so interesting and fascinating in my mind, you've no idea.

And, again, I'm awfully weak to villain Owen nonesense so that certainly doesn't help.

There you have it. My essay & a half summary over some of my reasonings.

Again, things are always subject to change and sometimes I get a little Silly with my trains of thoughts but, hey, it'll be fun either way. If you're interested in me trying to explain my through process for more characters, feel free to ask, I just figured I'd keep this as short as i can physically manage. If it comes off as a bit rambling or you want me to clear anything up, you're always welcome to ask. It's technically super late for me so my writing compression might be a bit off.

Tl;Dr, I zone out to music and play "Song Association Games" too much & Owen as Antinous started off as a silly joke but now it's eating my brain whole so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keralis and xB get within earshot of each other and suddenly are possessed by the power of being down bad for your homie

A common theme I think you'll find with me is that I really do like drawing them with flowers.

I'm home, I found you some new flowers. Hope you like them.

Inktober Day 6: Bouquet

I also do enjoy flower symbolism. (Based on quick Google searches)

Daisies: Loyalty/Loyal love; can also represent keeping a secret between friends

Daffodils: Forgiveness or Appreciation

Camellias: Love, Adoration, and Longing

Guess who's on the Pirates Traaain

P!Scott brain rot lmao

Prettiest pirate in all the seas

He's infected my brain lmao

Got come bonus pics below the cut with some of my own headcanons and what have you

My version of p!Scott is in fact a trans queer man because I have a fun problem of self projecting on my art <3

I also will be putting in the belief of him being a Ceasg (or along the lines of)

Just sprinkle in like some "first born gets the family curse" trope shenanigans and add it with "oh a maaagic item keeps them from changing" and boom. There's my beliefs and where they lie.

Also that necklace is based on an actual necklace I own and I roughly drew that hand drawing with my own as a references.

I also like the thought of pScott being a map-making nerd who stays up way to late making his new maps look incredible

This adds to the "droppy eye" propaganda I plan on creating with this guy

He's also got a Heron tattoo. Cos it's pretty

I think I'd like to think that everyone gets their Factions Bird tattooed when they join a Faction. Their choice on design/location. Scott just likes the classic look

Behold, the best snuggler in all the lands, Impulse SV

Inktober Day 19: Plump

This was great anatomy practice but it was also a nightmare to figure out

Worth it tho

Usual sketch & flat penning, as always

With a bonus

I could not stop laughing at him

I made him the damn tism creature look at him--

I have fulfilled my promise, I've drawn the funny

A little bonus interaction with our favorite Horse Heads

Keralis has a 20 in charisma but a 2 in intelligence
