the current arc of my comic is about a princess trying to find someone who would be a really impressive date to take with her to someone else's royal wedding, so...it's marriage-adjacent...?
Liege is in a sitting room in casual clothing, teasing a morsel of his food to Harbinger, and carefully holding the rest of it further away, impaled on a long thin dagger. Ominous is combing Liege's hair back into its usual look. OMINOUS: The Princess of Pollendara was eager to request your presence for a courtship event. LIEGE: That seems suspicious. Liege flicks the food to Harbinger, who snaps his jaws on it mid-air, as he looks to Alkamilla. LIEGE: Doesn't she keep in close communication with Dawn? Alkamilla exposits things from a read-out projected by her mechanical arm's gemstone. ALKAMILLA: Other than Argent cracking down on their borders, balancing their east and west trade security and blocking our public communicator channels...hard to say who else KNOWS. We DO know that Princess Hazel wants a brag-worthy date for that Royal Wedding. Liege frowns in thought, as Alkamilla shrugs matter-of-factly. LIEGE: I haven't crashed ANY weddings during my rule. ALKAMILLA: Lotta that's on us. Our marauding threw a wrench in all but the most dedicated communications. Liege looks conflicted, while Ominous leans in and tents his fingers, insistently. LIEGE: Still, to waste my chance by being INVITED... OMINOUS: I was hoping you'd be hexing someone's newborn, by now.

Starting to work on new images for the cast page - RIP to just grabbing a comic panel and calling it a day... #art #OCs
(psst read the comic they're from here:
liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com )
A compilation of drawn headshots for the cast of a comic. The first is a man labeled as The Sovereign of Shadowmurk, Liege Doomveil. He's grinning sinister-like, and a strange magical substance is evoking from one of his eyes, partially forming into a hand-like structure. The second is a man labeled as Crimsonheart, featuring prominently as a muscular blond man with a red visor and intricate heart-motif gauntlets, flexing and grinning prominently. He has a secondary illustration behind of a similar-looking man, though his grin seems less confident and he's much more average in build, labeled as 'also known as', Victor Scarlet. A third individual is a woman grinning much like Liege, though she is holding up her mechanical hand and causing a spark of green energy; she's labeled as Alkamilla, the First General of Shadowmurk. After her is a a red-headed woman, Ruby Rose, the Princess of Vermillion; her smile seems almost surprised, and sad. In the bottom row of character is a man who is shrouded in a pointed hood and holding a cracked red orb and labeled as the advisor to Liege Doomveil, Ominous. The last figure in the drawing is a surprised-looking man made of teal slime, coming out of some kind of pressurized suit, designated as Grime, the Second General of Shadowmurk.

I'm on SOME kind of evolutionary roll to defy my intended purpose, just not the one my doctor wants for me
two bsky posts a few hours apart. one from 20 hours ago states, "I can't believe I haven't initiated a form of human evolution than can eat spicy noodles topped with a fried egg for every meal, yet, like the people eating plastic in the one Cronenberg movie", while one from 39 seconds ago says, "I keep failing to drink water correctly, today..."

We are back in the present, on this week's Liege Doomveil - but we aren't back in Pollendara, yet! #webcomic
liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com
The Kingdom of Vermillion is shown again, mostly in good condition, but we can see some halted repairs. NARRATION: Presently, in the kingdom of Vermillion Victor sleeps deeply in his room, spied on for a moment by a pensive Ruby. In a similar shot, Victor still snores, but Ruby is now gone, her footfalls quickly fading. Victor continues to sleep, in an overhead view, that shows the beacon in the backpack next to his bed with the Twin Heart Gauntlets that transform him into Crimsonheart. The beacon begins to gently glow and make a soft "boop", but Victor rolls away and snores, unaware.

remember when this almost worked out for them? hang in there💀🕸️🕷️ #art #OCs
Queen Theta, a very large silver-and-purple spider woman with gold and pink eyes, has caught Liege, a pale teal-skinned man with red eyes, sharp teeth and long white hair, in a web. They're in an environment full of even more webs, green-glowing mushrooms and a strange glowing mist. They're having a fine, flirtatious time with it.

furthermore,
the "is this a bird" meme, but the butterfly is labeled as "A Lady Character". The guy observing it asks, "is this a kind and wise maternal figure who will clean up after me?" Below is white text over an image of Bulma from Dragon Ball, Dee from Always Sunny and Elvira Mistress Of The Dark dressed as Rambo, with text that says "NO! She is also part of the problem and you will treat her with respect!!!"

it's basically a rephrase of these, which I can't take original credit for, but think of constantly as a concept
an old twitter screencap from ages ago. The body of the main post reads, "every character you write should be stupid. literally how else are they going to get into situations" Ryuji from Yakuza 2 saying "A real man...oughta be a little stupid."

This week's #webcomic update will conclude the flashback portion of What's Up With Ruby!
liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com
Index is doing his best to retreat from the conversation and avoid Ruby's gaze. INDEX: Ruby...if your brother was still here to take up Vermillion's throne... Crimsonheart leans down and lifts a finger, where he looks more like he's looking into a camera before Index, who looks baffled. CRIMSONHEART: But he's TOTALLY not! Index offers out the device he has in the present in Pollendara's archery tournament, Ruby hesitantly reaching to accept it. INDEX: As it stands, avoiding this conflict is for the good of LIBRARIA. I should return your beacon - Crimsonheart steps in again, startling Ruby as he pushes the wand firmly back into his hand. CRIMSONHEART: NAY, Prince Index! The threat of Doomveil hangs over us all! Keep that beacon for if you're ever in trouble! Index looks uncertain but accepting, and Ruby nervously fidgets in place as Crimsonheart continues heroically posing. CRIMSONHEART: I, CRIMSONHEART, will stand bravely to face Liege, so that one day, all the realm can be united by the POWER of LOVE!

Ominous gets overbearing, but Liege is doing really well - normally by now he's started pretending the pumpkin is a real person and stabbing it into puree. #OCs #artjamolantern #art
Liege Doomveil is hunched over an oversized jarrahdale-colored pumpkin, looking to Ominous pensively as he prepares a knife to further carve into his jack-o-lantern; bits of pumpkin innards and seeds litter the ground, as do pieces of the partial face he's carved, which is so far an eye and a nose. Ominous leans towards him fretfully. Ominous asks, "Sire, perhaps one of your hobby knives would better suit this...more delicate work...?" Liege looks nonchalant as he responds, "ALL knives are hobby knives. If you have the right hobbies."

Making hasty last-minute messes while you're trying to get ready...relatable. 🎃 #OCs #artjamolantern
A headless character has a sort of ooze-like specter emerging from his neck, panicking at the fact that a bunch of pumpkin innards from the new "head" he is carving have slopped onto his chest and thigh. From the kitchen background, we can determine he's trying to get this new head carved for Halloween, tomorrow.

throwing Gogo into the HallO/Ceen meme! I actually really liked doing the sketchy lines, here #OCs
a template for a Halloween meme for original characters! it has a candy corn background and festive font it reads as follows: HallO/Ceen What scares your character (real)?: isolation/rejection What scares your character (in movies/fiction)?: -really freaks out at characters dealing with an altered perception of reality where they can't be sure what's real -claims that a lot of horror movies "aren't that scary" and handles gore and violence but gets got by a good jump scare BONUS TRIVIA: 50/50 odds of a good psychological horror bit sitting with him for days, or him asking "what was up with the ending?" Imagining they trick or treated as a kid, what would have been their best/favourite costume: Gogo is unfortunately "gimme your candy, dork"-coded a triangle meme at the bottom has the points labeled as "TLC presents Ghost Dads with Infrared Cameras", "David Lynch presents The Ghost Is A Metaphor", and "Scooby Doo", Gogo is placed midway between Ghost Dads and Scooby Doo, but SLIGHTLY towards the center. An additional drawing of Gogo at a stocky preteen-ish age features him wearing mismatched clothing while he carries a sack in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. He is wearing a hockey mask ala Jason Voorhees, and has a speech bubble saying "Gimme your candy, DORK"

This week's flashback was foreshadowed back in February! That's #webomic life for ya
liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com
Princess Ruby in a different outfit lacking gloves and with shorter but more meticulously styled hair, looks like she's forcing politeness despite being close to tears as she holds hands with a likewise-younger Prince Index. A ruined tower and the main spire of Vermillion's castle with a very person-shaped crater in the side is shown in the background. NARRATION: Many years ago in the kingdom of Vermillion RUBY: You... want to call off the engagement...? Prince Index wrestles his hands away, averting his eyes. INDEX: It's just...with Shadowmurk's ongoing war, you're now the sole heir of Vermillion! It's not like it was when we were betrothed. Prince Index is awkwardly grimacing, as Ruby tries to reason with him. RUBY: That's been the case for two years, now... Did I do something? INDEX: Ruby...it's not YOU...! Crimsonheart suddenly steps in heroically pumping one fist and standing between them, with longer hair and his older tights-under-speedo look. CRIMSONHEART: It's OBVIOUSLY that no-account LIEGE DOOMVEIL! INDEX: Yes! That is, EXACTLY it. Ruby leans out from behind Crimsonheart to try and look at Index. A clean-shaven Reeves with much shorter hair looks on in mixed frustration. RUBY: This arrangement - it meant so much to our parents! Can't I do anything?

I think I only have one major location in The Realm of my story that hasn't been shown, yet, but I'm pretty happy with how they are looking over time. I separated them into two images for "good guy" and "bad guy" places. #art
A variety of different locations as a landscape comic panel, with text removed. The first is a tall red spire with many heart-shaped motifs, even in how the red rock towers form roofs and the clouds are shaped, against an ideal blue sky with heart-shaped clouds and rainbows. The second is a port capital city at night, a starry sky with a supernatural moon lighting up the night, with a strange fog rolling in. The buildings all look a bit like ships or lighthouses. Argent's capital city is heavily influenced by Roman/green architecture, with earthy mountains topped with vivid green grass. Finally a castle interwoven into a very very very large tree that has been built up on, large hive structures on its sides looming over the wooded area surrounding it. Numerous bees fly through the air, and a wide dirt road lined with flowers stretches out from it. An underground castle of gray and indigo rock, with many large fragments of stone surrounding it. The castle emits a strange purple glow. Featuring more tropical and desert-inspired foliage is a land that has a much more hazy skyline, the atmosphere suggesting heat. Archskull Vilgorr, a barbarian-like man whose face is hidden by a primordial-looking skull mask, is standing front and center with people whose less ornate skull masks denote they are subordinates. Finally, we feature a swamp that is flush with mud and mushrooms. Crimsonheart now runs towards an eerie green glow ahead of him in the swampland, not seeming to notice a tiny pathetic voice crying out from where its owner has been snared by a pod-like venus flytrap creature.
