Been real busy with work and school lately, but I wanted to document the progress of what will be my semester-long project for my comics class 💜
I maybe didn't prepare a story ahead of time and need to do at least 10 pages, so I decided to adapt the first chaper of The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon (@/emcandon)!
I also haven't had a dedicated drawing area set up in forever, so it's kind of nostalgic to be drawing like this. Anyways! This is my first take on Sunai (MC) and Veyadi; I don't have a ton of time to work on their designs so I don't get to tweak them to death and back, but they're close enough to my mental image for now. Some earlier sketches and illegible thumbnails beneath the cut!
I'm a sucker for playlists and am wondering if you have one for The Archive Undying?
I mostly listen to OSTs when writing (lyrics distract!!) so I can share that I listened to a lot of:
the Anthem OST (really wish i'd had any interest in this game bc the aesthetic is in so many ways pitch perfect for Archive)
Jack de Quidt's work for the Divine Cycle of Friends at the Table, particularly counter/WEIGHT
a bunch of battle map music from Fire Emblem: Three Houses for mech fights
various music from Mushishi
folks have also sent me music that reminds them of the book and I really have to make a playlist out of all that bc 1) i love it, thank you, 2) their taste is generally fantastic and i would like to incentivize ppl to feed me more
(the playlist i built for the Archive sequel is kind of an exception to the rule! i do have more songs to share bc lol some of them have taken on multiple meanings, and by this i am terribly pleased.)
Danny doodles! After not posting art for ages I thought I’d upload some doodles of the lil guy
Took a little break to draw this 👻✨💜💚🖤 it was fun!!!
I started drawing the Ever After High girls in random historical fashion eras… why? I have no idea
Raven Queen in 1890s, Apple White in Italian Renaissance.
Briar Beauty in 1920s, Madeline Hatter in 1880s
No particularly reason for the eras, just the vibe I get from the characters and their designs!
Phighting bro balls again but its the phighters saying their phinisher line with "bro" at the end
