Rimea-Marre - Prelude

 

 

Holy heck, I finished this thing!

The first part of a long project I'm finally getting to start: Rimea-Marre! This video serves as a prologue, and helps to set the stage for what's to come... Eventually. I draw and write very slowly. But we'll get there! The project has its own page on my website, which you can view here. I'll post updates on new chapter releases on this blog, too!

 More information is in the video description, but suffice it to say: WOOOOO IT'S DONE

 THAT TURNAROUND AT THE END RUINED ME

"Airstream Dream"

There's more information on Youtube about the actual plot of this thing, but as it is, I'm just happy that it exists. This makes the second big animation I've ever produced! It was very exciting. Also, timing those wiggling silhouettes was murder on Windows Movie Maker. Hopefully for future projects, I can get my new sophisticated animation software working, yeah? Although... If I just end up using WMM in the next animation... You'll know what happened.

"Marred"

"I took a day-long break from comic-ing (I’m on page 37 – officially over halfway done! Two pages per day is a tough pace to keep up in the long run, though – it really wears you out.) to produce a warped Bludmar. Because warps are never not fun to draw, in a weird way.

This is a re-draw of an older piece that I did before Bludmar’s design and story were really cemented. The old one looked like this!

I’d say this version is an improvement, yeah? Much more pleasing to look at… If warps ever can be pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, both this old version of warped Bludmar and her current version have one story beat in common – she was driven insane by her hemokinesis, which resulted in her essentially becoming a telekinetic vampire, ripping blood out of people’s bodies in order to add to her own mass of it. She was eventually put down by her own children in order to keep her from hurting anybody else.

…Bummer."

"Happy as Can Be"

"IT'S CUTE.
IT'S VERY CUTE.

Sometimes, you just want to draw something that is so saccharine, it will give you type 2 diabetes. This was one of those times: I just wanted something sweet and innocent up here in contrast with some of the other horrible events that I chronicle in my art. And so here are Bludmar and Leilani!

I'm pretty proud of this one! The dresses were pretty hard to work with, as I've never been the best with cloth physics in art. However, with plenty of references and help from my friends, I think I got something that looks good! And cute. Very, very cute."

"Lilies and Arteries"

"Bludmar in her heyday. Before the whole magic thing, she was a very pretty and kind nam. She used her magic that allowed her to control and sense the contents of blood to check for diseases in her patients, and even remove them. She loved to garden, as well, and spent almost every spare moment growing and breeding flowers, specifically lilies. She even bred a new species and gave them to people as gifts. They were called "Marra lilies" in her honor (those are actually a real type of lilies, though they go by a different name here on our little planet. They're called "stargazer lilies").

Originally, there was supposed to be the current, magic-possessed Bludmar standing below her old self, with tendrils tearing off of old Bludmar's dress forming new Bludmar's blood-arms. However, I decided not to do this. Why? It looked dumb."
