A surprise bit of Descent #Jayvik for y'all today, wasn't supposed to do anything today but had a burst of motivation and rocked these next few shots together.

So I'm digging deeper into Descent in terms of writing and I have a few things folks might find interesting as I plot out scene-by-scene and discover reoccurring themes that are popping up as I go and...
"Cannibalism" (or "Hunger") and "Queerness" have naturally floated to the surface. Oh boy.

Bluesky please don’t crunch this image…
As I said before, been working on writing for “Descent” #jayvik ! The general beats, the bricks are in place. Carefully moving through it.
If anyone is at all curious how my brain works with writing, this a peek into that.

Jayce in early descent gets flare ups with his leg, it’s getting irritated, isn’t getting better but he doesn’t know how to tell Viktor. He CAN’T tell Viktor, everything is already so bad, so challenging, he can’t fathom becoming another ‘problem’ on the heap.
Don’t speak to me…..

some Descent.... concepts.
The kissing was purely indulgent (and non-canon to Descent thus far; I MUST stay focused as much as I want them to smooch), but I'm trying to figure out how Viktor "glows" when he touches or is touched. hell yeah my favorite glow bug

Forgot to share this one, so actually there is some Descent work to share today. Not quite done with the piece but I liked Jayce’s smile. So does Viktor 🙁❤️

Sorry for the radio silence! Descent is still on the brain, but new job and school starting soon has been rocking my shit - once my schedule is stable I hope to get back into it…. Been thinking about the inevitable reunion and kicking my feet

Viktor half transformed concept for Descent #jayvik ... Post-divorce fight mode. I almost want to make him more bug mode. We'll see. His body will be very bug mode though!

Some more Jayce outfits for Descent #jayvik.
Bundling up for the chilly climate of Mount Targon! Viktor is next. Outfit 1 is for the immediate start of Descent, Outfit 2 is during the first steps of their travels and pre-fight. Outfit 3 will be divorce fits LOL

I lovingly describe Descent as “Javik getting the Dark Souls experience”.
Yes, everything is going wrong AND you’re fighting for your life but it’s also perfectly normal at this point. The only thing that can hurt you anymore is Emotions (and it proceeds to do that too)

Subtle revisits of Viktor's Descent design.
- Longer hair
- Red inner side of scarf
- Body is entirely augmented aside from chest (where Jayce had shot through him)

Oh well holy shit thanks y’all for 200 followers! Still very unfamiliar with how to engage with social media, as someone who hasn’t done anything other than lurk on socials for about 5+ years - but I will continue to churn out more Descent and occasionally share other works.

WIP of the cuddle, it is a Descent day... Very proud of how Jayce's face turned out, so soft when sleeping.
Also, the wild rune markings do go around his chest to his back (where he got chainsawed) #Jayvik

apologies in advance, I’m not a big social media guy - I know how to post pictures but I don’t quite know how to engage with the platform yet 💧
I greatly appreciate all the interest in Descent though! I’m glad y’all like it
