The second part of character i became initially attached to: Vague Addition.

Sasha James, Archivist Addition. I love the idea of Sasha becoming the Archivist and I absolutely believe she still would've hurled the world into an apocalypse. I'm obsessed with her and the potential and the What Could've Been of her. [The Eye, The Spiral]

『Daedalus』 They gave me a tormented guy and then nothing else. This is a concept for that "fourth crewmate" upon the Daedalus who got locked in a cargo box. A young man, easily tricked and lured, becoming a torn apart & unrecognizable victim of the Dark. I do want to tweak his design but I do love the concept. My guy. My poor, screaming fella. Him having his autonomy and identity pried away from him, just. I want to study him. [The Dark, The Lonely, The Vast]

Breekon. Breekon and Hope. Ill be designing a separate look for Hope, but i did begin to love Breekon and what he went through. They made me ill. I want them to get a house together in the suburbs and get a big dog and just be together again. Also yes the Signature has both Breekon and Hope but that's 100% because when I tried to make Breekons signature by itself, it looked wrong and empty. I'm sick of separating them anyways so. Company signature 👍 [The Stranger, The Buried]

Behold. My first favorite fellas of TMA. I am. Unwell.

Here's my initial designs for them [up to change ykyk], my own thoughts on what entities they'd be aligned with (or victims of), and some signature stuff with their names. Fun.

Graham Folger. The man himself. What a dude who's both so regular and so. So not. Let's go antisocial paper-eater pulling the avatar of Death incarnate. What are you. [The Eye, The Web, The Stranger]

Sebastian Adekoya. I'm microwaving him you have no idea. I'm prying him apart and reforming him with character study and creative writing. Librarian AU. I will dissect him and Jared, you. Have no. Idea. I hold his design close to me btw. Very proud. [The Eye, The Flesh]

Martin Blackwood. Yknow, i told myself I wasn't going to get attached to any Main Cast folk. Let lo and behold. Way too high a standard really. I love him. There's so much too him. He's petty and soft and caring and so, so angry. He's so real for everything idec. I'm putting him into clouds. [The Lonely, The Web, The Eye]

Needless to say, TMA has become an awful [/pos] brainrot hyperfixation for me and there will be many more posts, thank you.

Healthy dose of CherryBomb angst

Yknow

For the soul.

Hello I'm here to spread CherryBomb propaganda hi.

My adoration of Cherry Valance is leading me to draw more content of her and Bob sorry I can't be stopped smh.

Redraw Reference:

Base Lining & Sketch:

Tbh i only have like two things with Bob (this and a work in progress) but I am on the train of him absolutely loving Cherry just being a stupid, irresponsible guy.

I fully believe that while Cherry may have a problem being attracted to the "bad boy" type, she does sincerely see the good in people and can find what inside those people are truly so loveable.

I still fully feel Swansea is underrated ngl.

Tulpar Dad 👍

[If I get a braincell later I'll come back with my Swansea headcanons. I just need to post atm]

I want her to be happy and to feel love and warmth and I will be maiming over it.

Headcanons/Rambles under cut:

Close Ups:

Base Lining & Sketch:

I want to analyze her character for science. I want to dive in so much about how her character/perception is pushed down in the game due to who's perspective we're watching. Gosh.

Anyways

Headcanons

• Soft, caring, can and will meticulously pick apart your life in a way that either makes you feel like you need to go to a therapist or curl on the floor and cry 👍. Not always malicious. She's just a really good observer.

• Has a resting look that makes her look sad or quiet and what not but she just has those big ol sad eyes.

• She remembers everything she reads (I don't recall if Eidetic/Photographic is the correct term, but something like that). She reads manuals and contracts and every small type of information so that she can always referr back to it.

• Her great memory also adds to her and Daisuke's friendship. With her being patient enough to listen to his miles long rambles, he can explain a lot of modern/"younger generation" stuff so that she slowly but surely can actually understand what he's talking about. He usually talks about games, things he sees on the internet and more political topics when the conversations fall into it. Daisuke has gone into in depth discussions about gender identity & sexuality to the point where Anya has heavily questioned her own identity (had she had the time to live with it more, she would've started using They/She Pronouns. For the sake of my babbles I won't do that here but. But). She's debated a lot about how she feels about her orientation.

• I believe she's had many passing thoughts about using the gun on Jimmy or Curly or herself (given that she had the code smh). Upsettingly intrusive thoughts about what she could do, but nothing she's ever gone through with.

• She hit her head hard during the crash. Possibly concussion level hard. It made it harder to get Curly stable but she managed as much as she could.

• id like to think Daisuke helped her open up more. Him being really good at reading people and very insistent on chatting/being friends with her until she finally gave in. She feels comfortable being more casual with him. He's not an older peer or her boss so she doesn't worry having to "prove herself" with him. They can just be friends casually shooting the breeze and all.

• Daisuke also convinces Anya that Swansea is more of a softie then he let's on. Before Daisuke joined, Anya was polite with Swansea and knew he wasn't as rough as he let on, but she was still distant and didn't see him as someone who cared much for his co-workers. Daisuke insisted and would go on his rambles about times he caught Swansea being soft or caring in his own way, just not wanting to show it cos he's a stubborn old bustard. Anya started to see that eventually, and started to feel she could let her guard down more with Swansea and trusted him more.

I could probably go on but I have to end this post eventually gosh--

I'll be back.

Hi hello this game is rotting my brain.

So some notes I've taken a belief in for background situations. Revolving around Daisuke. The favorite 👍

• Disaster bi with horrible taste. He had like 5 crises when first joining the Tulpar crew

• i like to believe that he does have a hard time grasping mechanical things at first but the second that a process clicks for him, he can just fly with it. He likes to tinker and figure things out and figure out how to make things work better. It's just unfortunate that the ship isn't the best place to tinker or experiment.

• if I recall correctly, the Utility Room was one of the closer ones to the cockpit. I find it very plausible that Daisuke & Swansea were the first to get there (Jimmy aside cos he's in his "in shock" state over there. Swansea would be breaking the emergency foam off of Curly with the axe while Daisuke was dragging him out, using his cover shirt to try and fight off the flames & screaming for Anya to help or get medical going. I also believe Swansea and Daisuke both got decently bad burns during thing.

• I treasure Daisuke and Anya's friendship more than anything. While Daisuke does feel like someone who would have rose-tinted glasses on a lot, i do also believe he would notice almost immediately when Anya started acting "off" and would do his best to gently help Anya and encourage her to talk with him. Not even about what it was she was going through, but at the least having time to just talk about whatever to get her mind unfocused on what was hurting her. It wasn't perfect, but it helped.

That's all for now farewe-- *explodes*

A Myth's Voyage:

Character Introduction I

[Click for Quality]

Here we begin the final pennings of the mv cast, starting off with the power trio (don't worry about them later down the line they're fiiiine)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

•~[Captain and honorary King Sausage Mythos leads the fleet of 600 throughout the War of the Isles. He's a carefree if not occasionally passive-aggressive man who uses a friendly demeanor to let the guard down of those around him but is not one to shy away from using more aggressive means to get his way. Over the 10 years of battle with his fleet, he's grown close with and cherishes those of his fleet and especially those of his own ship. After finally putting an end to the War, there's nothing that Sausage wants more than to get home to his long awaited family and the safe comfort of his own island.]

•~[Second in command of Mythos' ship, Kuervo Fang comes off as cold and stubborn to most of the crew, even if a good few can see right through him. He's got a skewed sense of justice and loyalty that even fewer can interpret & he proves himself to be one of the deadliest fighters the crew has to offer. Over the 10 years, Kuervo has reluctantly become close with his crew & finds it unfortunate how they fall into a protective, soft spot for him. Not that he'd admit it. Supposedly, not even on his life.] 🐦‍⬛

•~[Will Renais serves as a determined and caring member of the fleet. Though perhaps too forgiving for his own good, Will takes pride in being a person many put their trust into. He sees beauty in life and warmth in safe understandings and does what they can to help keep the peace when able. They're perhaps Sausage's closest companion on the fleet & Kuervo's most trusted person. Will mediates between the two to keep them off of each others' throats & has become an expert at keeping their communications steady. Over the 10 years of being apart of the fleet, Will has threaded himself deeply throughout the crewmates & is highly regarded among them.]🗺

• Iris, the newly fallen Ruler and often seen dictator of the Following. Power hunger and righteousness became her untimely downfall, along with anyone on her side and her very own child.

• Ivy, prisoner of the Following. Saving her from imprisonment became an ultimate goal. Her own sister locked her away in claims of containing a so called corruption that fueled Ivy's veins.

• The "Lotus Eaters": groups of lost and convinced cultists found themselves in bliss and over-indulgence as they found the island of mindless fruits.

• Additional monsters of the Codfather's island: while the other entities of the island were prone to belittle and tease the disfigured cod, they were still intent to protect him. They don't tend to be too fond of false alarms, however.

• The man-eaters: this story's Laestrygonians, Queen Lizzie created an entirely new species of seemingly mutated fish creatures, most in resemblance to Axolotls. They are hungry for any unfortunate soul who falls into their waters.

The Underworld

• Will & Eddie: two souls who miss their friends and loved ones dearly. Each were happy to see those they cherish on their journey through the Underworld. Though brief, they did what they could to give the remaining crew some sense of comfort and love they once were so overabunted in giving.

• Michela & Redd: two souls filled with bitterness and resentment. While they could find themselves forgiving their friends for foolish choices & careless disregards, wounds are too fresh for them to have a clear mind. Floods of their friends have come in, screaming their tragedies and fueling more hatred among plenty of them towards the unfortunate survivors.

Monsters

• A reflection shown to a captain long in need of a wake up call

• Scylla: a monsterous amalgamation of history's corruptions. She takes on her most recent host's appearence. From that of convincing fae, to fungal viruses that took over their hosts minds, Scylla hungers and she will feed.

Alt. Gods

• Aeor: a more casual, human esque appearence. He takes on this look for those He typically doesn't expect to live long enough to remember. He takes on this look to make sure any mortal will hear what He has to say.

• Exor: a more casual, friendly appearence. Years have passed and they wish to appear approachable as they can manage as they approach the son of someone they would once and wish to call their friend.

• Sausage, the island of paradise. He just wants to go home. He just wants to feel home.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Pt.1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt. 4 || Pt. 5 [Here]

Okay I cannot physically think of anymore characters or important appearances I need to add. I am crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of the sketches.

The looks are rushed cos I did all these sketches today in hopes of getting a post out before the end of the month so here we are.

This project is bringing me so much joy I won't lie.

The wisdom Saga is also making me Feel Things /pos

Welcoming in a few of our more prominent members of the Isles.

• Joel Beans, the still so-called temporary head of the Isles for the past 20 years. He's grown cold and distant to most outside of his love for his son. A well hidden paranoia has set in, those around him and trying to dethrone him effective in having him have his guard on high at all times.

• Hermes Mythos-Beans, the loosely-titled prince of the Isles, he's become something of a symbol for the creation of the new-era of the Isles. He's seen more with his artwork or instruments rather than with any sort of political or fighting scenes. He tries hard to uphold padre's name and even harder to keep his father safe as much as he can.

• Eddie Mythos, a loved and respected man of the Isles. He was once a cherished father figure to many of the Kestrals & still so for some pirates outside of the Faction. Since his passing, he still remains a quite positive memory among any pirates who knew him in life.

• Scott Denholm, the last survivor of the grand-standing family name. He's more away from home than not nowadays, tending to be one to keep others at arms length. Since his abrupt return and prolonged stay on the Isles, he's made a face for himself of being a major supporter of the left-behind Mythos family.

• Owen Orange, a charismatic and eerily persuasive character on the Isles. She's not shy to voice her thoughts, clear on how he views Joel as some undeserving intruder on their Isles. Many find it hard to say no to him and she's become rather savvy at rallying people to her side, however he may have that play out.

• Martyn Woods, a snappy and stubborn member. Many have noticed an odd shift in his personality since the first Fall of the Isles. Most attribute it a reaction to such an event or to the rumored rejection & built rivalry of sorts between him & a certain ex-Heron captain.

Important faces seen during the journey through the sirens.

• Siren Joel: an imposter's face plastered on a monster. An uncanny resemblance to the partner of our story's Captain.

• The true face of the lead siren, it's disguise falling off after finding the danger they're in.

• Another captured siren, baring a striking resemblance to their captor's long-passed partner.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 [Here] || Pt. 5

As it now stands, I am done with the character sketch line up. Up next is the pennings which are going great and then I can start exploding with my nonsense <3.

I did rush the out-of-disguise designs of the sirens but I will clean them up in the pennings.

As always, questions and comments are always appreciated and my askbox is wide open for them.
