Cowboy but catboy.
"oh yeah I'm just gonna make some quick sketches, nothing too fancy lmao" -me, like a fool, before being possessed seriously tho someone get these two out of my head it's getting ridiculous up in there
The Void Dragon (oh, and that Erin guy too)
Erin and Voidy from @comicaurora
I love these two and their dynamic so much.
Death Battle Matchup: The Collector (Aurora Webcomic) vs Emperor Belos (The Owl House)
Connections: ancient mages who have spent centuries perfecting their own twisted version of their world’s magic system (Belos invented the Coven Sigils to force people to control “wild magic,” whereas The Collector manipulates life magic to create monsters and destroy cities by “healing” their land). They see the people in their world as being entirely below them, and treat even the godlike figures in their world as just pawns and tools in their machinations (Vash for The Collector, Papa Titan and The Collector for Belos). They commit evil actions like genocide in the name of one of the ancient gods of their world, who makes up the very land that the story takes place on (The Primordials and Papa Titan), despite these entities not necessarily supporting their villainy back. They both have a form which can shift in between being humanoid and sludge-like, which allows them to regenerate from massive amounts of damage. Both characters prefer to enact their plans in secret and stay out of sight, but demonstrate deadly effectiveness in combat when the situation calls for it.
Animation potential: there’s a lot of potential for interesting scenes and interactions between the two characters’ powers. Belos has a much more versatile set of spells and abilities, so he can do a lot to outmaneuver The Collector using Glyphs, teleportation, mind magic etc., meanwhile The Collector can use her control of the Primordials to manipulate the terrain to her advantage and distract Belos by summoning Chimerae to her aid. They could then transition to a more close quarters physical battle with Belos’s Palisman form vs The Collector with her knives and plant magic. Lastly, Belos in his Titan form could go up against The Collector channeling the power of Primordial Life, and/or trying to take his soul for her own.
Dialogue/interaction potential: both characters are very calculating and sinister, so they would likely start with Collector trying to goad and study Belos while the latter tries to intimidate and belittle her. As the fight goes on, Belos slowly loses his composure and becomes more aggressive and animalistic, while the Collector becomes more confident in developing a strategy to win.
Track name: Wicked Witches
Debate: Both characters are pretty comparable in AP/Speed/Durability, so abilities and hax seem to be the deciding factor. Ultimately, I think Belos should win in this case even if Collector’s stats are likely a bit higher. He has several abilities between petrification, telekinesis and the Titan’s mold-breath that should be able to overcome the Collector’s life magic. Meanwhile, the hax that the Collector has are much more situational and less likely to overcome his defensive abilities.
Setup: The Collector arrives in the Boiling Isles seeking information about the Titan and its powers, hoping to study it and add to her collection. Locals lead her to Emperor Belos as the ultimate emissary of the Titan; however, Belos is suspicious of her Life magic as signs of a “wild witch” and so he decides to have her seized and petrified for her “heresy.”
It obviously stands for Theoretical and Applied Mathematics
Obligatory question "is it short for Tamophania?"
no keep guessing
"There are no principles a mortal can hold fast in the face of eternal, unending hunger" and it's over a panel of Falst and Dainix??
Falst's mom attacking him "it wasn't her anymore;" Dainix holding fast the ideal of hunting monsters to protect people- it being the only thing he could hold on to in the arena; "I can keep you safe! But I can't do anything if you don't shake off the Void;" "To the Dragon, hunger is fundamentally selfish... it doesn't even know what it's so desperate to have... when you hold the essence of hunger, stripped of pretense and pride- I wonder if you'll recognize the feeling;" "...you did it"
sorry I was rereading and saw this and got excited. These two guys have seen and felt principles and ideals destroyed in the face of the insatiable hunger of void corruption. And yet.
Look I think there's a short essay I could write here but currently all I've got is my brain going, "IT'S ABOUT DESIRE" and screaming.
kind of unrelated but I think it's also neat that Kendal and Alinua are with "you will break and then he will use you to break the world" as that also feels related to the chimeric plague and what the collector hopes to achieve by unraveling Vash's soul. I don't have a good connection with Tess so you get these two sentences instead of a post about that.
Got myself all prepped for the next Aurora chapter
Chapter cover art! Woo! Doesn’t look like red posted it on tumblr yet so I figured I’d put it out there
I call this one
Fire Starter.
This is Dainix from @comicaurora. Not a whole lot of symbolism to say for this piece. I just wanted to draw my favorite fire boi <3
As for technical things, I used 6B Pencil from Procreate for the ink (I’ve been using it so much since I discovered it; WHY WHERE YOU ALL HIDING THIS FROM ME?) and a custom coloring brush I made. I used a whole bunch of chromatic aberration and red/blue rendering bc it looks amazing, but the hardest part was trying to render the fire in Dainix’s cruicible form. This was mostly a practice for an upcoming project of mine, but it went out of my control and ended up as a fully rendered piece.
My first ever post on tumblr and it's one of the silliest things I've drawn in a long while lmao So uuuh Kendal's Pro Skater
The raddest guy this side of Vash
Kendal's from Aurora, by @comicaurora (I'm so sorry) (It did make me laugh a lot while making it tho)
Aw man Erin’s about to be going through it when he wakes up.
A retelling of me reading todays Aurora page:
- Page loads
- Audibly, ‘WHAT’
- I start hyperventallating
- In my head, ‘Ok Kevin, you gotta calm down they’re fictional characters and they’re going to be ok’
- Breathing slows
- Scrolls to the bottom half of the page
- Sees the last panel and nearly cries
I hope you’re happy Red
one of those bright cold winter mornings when best for @comicaurora gang to stay inside
The chekhov's gun has begun to unload.
Ah,
