dipped my toes into WRITING this morning (don't expect it to be a regular thing, art is my thing. I just wanted to explore characters from an angle I can't really get to with my art)

NSFW - Garth x Simon (trans man & cis man)
'Holy Bodies'.

The quickest scribble ever to get an idea for a future tattoo for Garth down.
He's 40-something here.

(The true, happy ending of the story, Garth finally can grow a beard)
An illustration of Garth leaning on a metal railing. He's looking older than he usually is draw, his hair is blonde, and shorter than usually drawn, and he;s got a scruffy beard and moustache going on (at last, yes brother!). He wears a mustard t-shirt and looks out over the coast. His tattoos are a touch fuzzier and fainter, with one new one that's crisper than the rest - A Raven, diving down his forearm with a dandelion in their beak. Behind is a rough depiction of the buildings behind him and a cloudy sky.

Maybe I'm just an analogue head, living in a digital world?

...Grab me a pencil...
An illustration of Garth. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair and tattoos. He looks upwards, with a concerned look and grasps at a yellow pencil. Behind/around/through his head erupt streams of unravelling magnetic tape from cassettes, which scatter around. The strands are coloured black and some are bright cyan and pink. Garth is lit from underneath, with a ultramarine background.

DONE IT. Finally happy with my blurb and pitch.

'Post-outbreak England is limping, ruled by an oppressive surveillance monopoly, non-compliance is punishable by socioeconomic murder. In the rundown North, a found family take the radical act of living as humans, not a data sets.'

(you interested?)
Text Read: NESH in British English adjective 1. sensitive to the cold 2. timid or cowardly Several years after a virus took 15% of the population, England is limping. The Government rules with an iron fist over the citizens, outsourcing control to a surveillance monopoly that has woven a Unified Digital ID into every aspect of survival. From the bread you buy to the medical care you need; everything is a data entry point for the system, and non-compliance is punishable by socioeconomic strangulation. In the North, the rotting seaside resort of Rafting-on-Wyre, there remain a few rare independent bastions for those living in the blind spots of the algorithm. Here, a diverse chosen family of 'digital zombies' fights to protect their community from a system that fabricates threats to reward its own stereotypes.

ARghsgfuahoiwehv I've done nothing but brainstorm NESH stuff today my brain is going WWWOEOEOEOEOEOEEEOOO.
IT'S GETTING SO GOOD, and really refined? Heck yeah.
Getting ready to GO soon.

I hope I can sleep but my thoughts are [foghorn of excitement].
An illustration of Garth from a bird's eye view, implied from a CCTV camera. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair. He is wearing a black mask over his nose and mouth, headphones, a black and yellow waterproof, black fingerless gloves, grey cargos, and combat boots. He has a black backpack on his back, and his wallet chain swings as he walks. He is striding away from a zebra crossing on a unkept pavement. The paves are cracked, with some bits missing, and a part is repaired with tarmac. Garth raises a displeased V sign at the viewer, a box has his figure highlighted, with a blue box of text, registering that he is an unknown person to the national surveillance system.

A custom layout reference sheet of Escily for Ash, thank you!
A reference sheet for a hippogryph character, she is cream with grey peacock patterned dappling over her body, and a vulture head. She has long ears and grey-ish flesh. The sheet shows a front and back view, a headshot, and then multiple examples of her flight gear.

Oh hey any moots up for a trade?
Wanting human art, but I'm happy to draw whatever you want in return, human, monster, furry, pet etc.
An illustration of Garth, a short weedy man with pale skin. He has scruffy, short blonde hair styled into a kind of quiff, and patchy facial hair. He lifts his black vest over his arm, showing off his tummy tattoo that reads 'DIDN'T HURT', also it shows off his top-surgery scars and nipple piercings. He has many tattoos on his left arm, and a few others dotted around. Garth's pulling a cheeky grin, sticking his tongue out. He's wearing grey cargos with belt and chain. Blue background.

We'll pick up all of the pieces,
We'll turn the pain into peaches.
An illustration of Garth, he has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair, and a tattoo visible on his shoulder. Just his top half is in frame, he's leaning forward with hands holding onto him from behind. One is gently around his neck, and the other clasping onto his shoulder. Garth has a sensual expression, with closed eyes, furrowed brows and a slightly open mouth. Blue and pink background with hints of foliage.

A reference sheet of Hunter Lombardi, a human with pale skin and yellow & black hair. She has multiple scars across her body from different experiments, and tattoos and body modifications. The reference sheet shows her in sports underwear, her uniform, two headshots one of which showing the facemask and goggles, and assorted patches.

An illustration of two of the E-Trojan team visiting the Control Room at Deadlock Security. From left to right is Garth, Astrid, and Simon. Garth has pale skin, and scruffy blonde hair. He is wearing a black t-shirt with 'security' written on it, a yellow work lanyard, and a headset with one of the phones off his ear so he can hear the other two whilst still keeping tabs on the chat. Next to him is Astrid the head of E-Trojan, she has pale skin, long wavy dark-blonde hair with purple fringe, facial piercings and is wearing a dark pinafore. She has tattoos on her forearms and wears a watch and wristbands. Finally there is Simon. He has pale skin and short brown hair. He has a goatee and is wearing glasses, a white button-down shirt with a black tie and dark grey suit trousers. The team are sat in a low-lit control room, surrounded by screens, they look to where the door would be, the viewer taking the role of the 'messenger' of the arrival of the no-do-gooders. Simon is resting on his hands, hunched over the desk, he looks ticked off. Astrid is sat on the office chair, with her hands on the keyboard, she looks cold but attentive about the news. Garth is kneeling next to Astrid with his arm resting on the desk, he looks concerned.

Yeah I wanted to do that hourly comic thing, seeing as I'm learning the art of comic-making but this happened today so.
A photograph of Hoggy dangling upside down from a balcony by his foot. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair and is wearing baggy clothing in earthy tones. Behind is a brick wall and red door.
