Go ahead and draw my characters if you want :)
I'm still trying to figure out how to use this site
Since today it has officially been a year since I've started to actively draw these idiots!! :D
I have @keep-the-socks-on-karta to blame for this
Quasar has actually existed for like two years at this point, but I had very little lore for him at the time Tranyc and Korar were hurled at me
Well i can't really complain, I love these idiots to death
Leyc doesn't appear in this because he actually didn't exist when I drew the original version (maybe 11 months ago?) of this since if you've been around that was my old banner
It's kind of funny thinking back on how he didn't even exist as an idea and yet Tranyc might as well have described him here
And that comes into play in lore later don't you worry ;)
Just some random clone doodles and Leyc being his classic self and desiding that doing a back flip at nearly 50 years old off some platform couldn't possibly end badly
And would you look at that, I actually put the water squad in squba gear for once :D
(you can really tell whose the favourite here, couldn't possibly be the guy who has the most complicated pose)
We've joked with @keep-the-socks-on-karta that Korar has a habit of messing with Tranyc by simply saying "look at me" or "hey" and then ask "what's wrong" because that just breaks down his disaster gay of a husband
So Quasar has had to step in before they loose the team medic
Also an extra doodle with matching shirts. Yes, Tranyc is drowning in his and Quasar's shirt.
Yes Quasar is quite tall.
Over 192cm in fact.
He needs to be kicked in the knees.
I'd say kick him in the knees but if you choose wrong you might break your own leg
I’ve decided to post all of the progress here as well, not just on instagram. Some people have asked to be tagged once I post some progress, but I can’t remember who they were. So if you wanna see future progress, let me know and I’ll tag you!
This one may not look too different from the previous one, but nothing really turned out the way I intended to.
The colors, the textures, the focus, the sounds, the camera, everything just seems so off, and oh boy the animation… this is the result of rushing and not knowing what I’m doing, just inserting keyframes, tweaking the graph editor and hoping for the best. So maybe signing up for this project wasn’t a great idea after all lol. Plus the datapad’s not even fully textured, you can literally see where I started adding details on the front, then for some reason I just left off lol
One thing I’ll definitely work on in the future is the menu itself, because if this project is for a graphic design thesis, then I might as well try to make the only thing that has something to do with it look more presentable. I’ll definitely be changing up the fonts, and I have some other ideas for the background as well.
But for now, I’ll move on to the remaining 5 character menu animations. Originally there were gonna be 5, not 7. At first I was randomly picking out the characters I wanted to make one for, then I realized, it’d probably be best, if each squad got one animation. The 501st gets Rex, the 212th gets Cody, the CG gets Fox, the 104th gets Wolffe, and the 241st gets Tukk. CF99 got Hunter but I really wanted to make one for Tech as well, since modeling and texturing him took the longest 💀
Once all of that’s done, I can finally move on to animating the trailer video. Which I’m terrified of, but oh well lol
My favourite gay dumbasses, being well... Gay dumbasses
I imagine Leyc's usually the one who comforts Quasar since he's more likely to get night terrors, but Quasar's just as much there for him when he gets them
I've been trying to consept Quasar an updated field outfit
I liked the thought of giving him silly ass pants, quite literally, but then like every person I sent the consepts said the triangle on his jacket looks like a boob window. And well. I lost that battle it seems
I also feel like he needs some sort of face protection, but his tendrils might already be a dead giveaway. But consealing your expressions could prove useful
When your future boyfriend decides to shoot his shot at the end of your professional call and ask if he can jump on the ship
Instead of "You look lonely, I can fix that" Leyc probably said "Ey you lonely fucker, want me to join ya this time?" but does it really matter what he says, it's gay anyway
Leyc with a little baby mohawk has me both in a chokehold and dying from laughter
For the sake of the meme we have a colour swapped Numa as a reference because I know I'd get attached to any character I'd make
Anyway, even if Quasar feels too old to have a child, he'd absolutely pic up stary kids if they need help. He's a dad by nature and I find the possible interaction of Korar and Tranyc realising Quasar has taken a kid in his care is very funny (because those two, could not be parents even if they tried, their Tooka cat Edee is proof of that)
They're also apart of Dead Zone, so the underwater platoon that Quasar commands
Anch looks like he's done with everyone on the surface, and trust me that doesn't change. But he can be fun if no ones in danger
Wreck earner his nickname from being a nervous wreck, who would have guessed. I needed to get someone to replace Gear's place after he becomes lieutenant, and who's better than a overly cautious guy (who does get better with time) and is similar to him
Then we have the twins :D they're all brothers obviously, but these two were born at the exact same time. While Dush is more of a chaos bringer and Omen a more curious sort of fella together they become a bad omen (Dush is "bad" in Mando'a so the joke fits >:)) They're also the newest to the team, so they're often called shinies
Then all of the already created clones :D
I have a creeping feeling ill make a few more at some point
