I really had fun drawing this one. I love flowing thingies. I also got to play with head on lighting. I am ashamed of my layer count for this though. I went well over 50.
It was not always what I wanted it to be. I got kinda stumped here and almost gave up here but friendly reminder to keep going until you are happy with what you make!
P.s. Happy New Years!
can you please share your headcanons of the queen (Julie Kostenko)
I am so glad you asked! Julie is an interesting character in my opinion. I don't like that a lot of Julie was defined as being insane, music loving, and Frank obsessed. That creates one flat character. I want to expand upon that with her personality while also staying true to what is already there. I want to dig up the reason WHY she is like the way she is.
Julie might be insane but she is still a person who feels emotions. I don't want to make her this UwU woman either. She is cruel and heartless, and that is never to be forgotten. She does not deserve forgiveness for what she has done. Even if she has her human traits, she is still a bitch deep down. She won't think twice about crushing somebody emotionally and mentally. It was stated that even before the fog Julie was cruel and had fantasies of killing people. Her personal dream was to turn Ormond into The Legion's personal nightmare playground.
That being said, personally I think Julie and the rest of The Legion could have been redeemed before The Fog. They all pretty much just really felt abandoned by the world. Julie, just like the rest just wanted somebody to care about her. Her mental downslide only got worse when she met like-minded people with similar issues. All that pent up anger together with nobody there to give them good guidance made monsters. The Legion is like a testament to what bad parenting does to what could have been good people. Now that is 4 people who spiraled into madness.
I want there to be emotional complexity to Julie. There should be more to her than enjoying hurting others and kissing Frank. She is much more than edgy angst. I want her to have very real emotions! At the end of the day, she just wanted a family that loves and supports her. Julie had to craft her own family and then named it The Legion. They are all really sad and let it out in the forms of drug use, violence, thievery, vandalism, arson, you name it. Their hatred never was processed in a healthy manner.
I know this turned into general The Legion over just Julie, but like, I think that they need to be more than cardboard outline characters.
EDIT: Bruh I found a typo. I wrote this out at 1 AM. Don't mind me. I meant to put, Julie won't mind to crush somebody emotionally and physically. For some reason 1AM brain went emotionally and mentally.
Decided to say fuck it to my congestion. Closed myself in the guest bathroom, blocked out all ventilation, turned my massive humidifier on full blast and ran myself the hottest bath i can stand.
This is my enclosure. I live here now. I have recreated the water cycle in a matter of minutes and can finally breathe.
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT HOW LONG THIS TOOK! Life happened lol and I am probably still going to be super slow with posting art, because I am moving! The place I am at has poopy wifi too so I have to do this on limited hot spot.
I have been laughing at this work in progress photo for way too long man XD
Do you have any headcanon voices of the legion, i only really have 1 for Susie and I think she’ll sound like Chrissy Cunningham from stranger things
Oh I would dare to say, I am comfortable in my voice acting skills to give both Julie and Susie a voice! I am just waiting until I can afford a new mic and take the time to understand animation better before I put it to good use. Frank and Joey sadly don't have a voice. I do know Joey would have a much more deeper voice than Frank. I might get back into making comics and do little voice overs until I can animate. It would help me to get a better feel of the characters and how I portray them.
LOOK AT MY BUDDY'S ART! IT IS AMAZING! <3

Frank watched Julie move her legs off the couch and took it as an invite to sit with her. "Shit, I probably should check with Sue. That's something I'll deal with later." Frank cared about getting his fix, but making Julie happy was far more on his mind.
Frank makes himself comfortable next to Julie and wraps an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him. "I'm more curious about what you want to tag. Haven't done that shit in a hot minute. I know where we can get some cans, but haven't gotten to paint with you in a long ass while. Finally got some time just us now.... Also pissing off Freddy is a plus," Frank could not help but snicker at his last comment.
"Fuckin' count me in babe!"

Instances of serenity were rare in the Fog, but whenever they showed themselves Julie would glutton herself on them like a fine delicacy. A reminder of what she had left behind, a peaceful life filled with the mundane.
Mundane, that was what she felt described this situation best. The Entity had yet to call upon her for another trial and, from the looks of it, Frank shared the same fate. Ormond, for once, felt as it did before they had been whisked away. The hearth crackled in the center of the living space, it's eternal flame dancing- undisturbed by the wailing winds outside. It bathed the main living space in an amber hue, the scene only disturbed by the endless day that blanketed their shared Realm. Though the place sat in disrepair, most of the things they had stolen to provide some forms of normalcy were scattered about; things that allowed them to live out here as if it was some weird and fucked up house.
In a way, she was thankful they had added such accommodations before being taken; she couldn't even begin to imagine what this place would've been like without them.
Lounging on a couch, head tilted back, her mask lay on an adjacent coffee table as she sprawled over the cushions. She stared at the ceiling; eyes half lidded as she dozed while basking in the warmth. Her head would only raise when Frank drew near, her expression calm but amused as she looked at him.
"Hey," She'd push herself onto her elbows to better look at him, "How bored are you right now?"
An open ended question, but one that spoke of plans to come. She had a few ideas brewing in that head of hers, and as always, she wanted to rope in another while she did it.
I love Dead by Questionable Gravity.
anon who sent that wolf ask: yeah its kinda related towards the legion. i'd sometimes imagine that if the legion were animals i would go with wolfs because they're usually in packs
This does give me the idea of doing like werewolf Legion. Throw that idea with vampire Ghost Face. I may or may not draw that now 🤔
My ideas all come down to motivation lol. So many ideas so little motivation.
thinking about some angst idea were frank sacrifices himself in order to keep the legion safe but Julie refuses to let frank die to the point that Susie and joey had to drag her away.
That could be interesting. I do like some good angst! Now I did think like the blighted cosmetic. The Entity tells The Legion to go deal with the man experimenting on the pensula flowers, but Frank saw what happened to everybody before. He knows this is a death sentence. He gives Julie one last kiss and his friends one last hug before choosing to go by himself even though The Legion tried to tell Frank no. Frank did not listen and went alone anyways. Little did he know he could have used the backup. All his friends merged into his body, and all that pain and suffering only to fail anyways.
