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.

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.

The story is BASICALLY nailed down now, just a little bit of depth to some side-stories I need to flesh out. Then I begin with the script/thumbnailing.

It's actually set in current times not the future, the technology isn't more advanced, just relied on more from initial desperation.

It's honestly just a commentary of current events and a comparison between masking for autism (and in a similar vein, trans identities), and 'masking' against oppressive surveillance. Just with a TOUCH more brutality.

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. Rating: Adult (+18) Content Warnings: Strong Language, Violence, Blood, Injury, Death, Mental Health Issues, Smoking, Drinking, Sex, Suicide attempt/mention, Homo/Transphobia (casual, & self inflicted).

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.

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.

A bust illustration of Astrid, she has pale skin and long dark-blonde hair tied up high. She has a purple fringe and many facial piercings. She looks coldly, with her hair held high. 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.
