Brozone reunion concepts for this little thing based on this ask

As stated in the ask idk fully how this moment would go, this concept was mostly building off the premise presented within the ask :D

Bonus:

#my art #trolls #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls au #n2 au #trolls john dory #trolls clay #trolls poppy #trolls branch #trolls bruce #trolls floyd #brozone #look at them so silly #in the original script i had accidentally wrote John calling Bruce by his preferred name and i was like #he dont know it yet smh #and had to change it back to spruce #which is where the line 'its bruce but imma let it slide' #comes from #i dont think John in the movie and within this purposefully misnames him #i think its just like a force of habit #and its just harder for him to realize hes saying it wrong until hes corrected #cuz you see he doesnt really get mad when corrected he just gets confused the first time #and then just keeps forgetting after #which i think also was from his mindset of #'im the oldest im not allowed to change' so its like #his brains blocking out the change of spruce to bruce #this is unrelated to the comic as a whole it was just the on the spot thoughts i had while typing #but yeah #itd be a touching reunion for sure!

atp i genuinely doooon’t care if the old guard two is the worst thing put to film i just want to see the best character of all time (andromache the scythian) and her loser henchmen and everyone’s favorite girl nile freeman again

#its not even funny anymore WHERE IS ANDY AND NORIKO!!!!!!!!!!! it was supposed to be the year of dyke drama 😞😞😞😞😞😞 #like given the way they structured the first movie the second would have to be almost wholly original and differ a lot from the comic #like andy cant go thru the shit noriko puts her thru so im guessing the script would switch her out with nile getting tossed in the ocean #but that doesnt really work with norikos comic characterization (trying to get andy to see her point by making her go thru what noriko did #isnt something quynh will gaf about if andy isnt one of the immortals. andys become thr ‘vermin’ noriko hates!!!) #and given the end of the movie everyones chill with copley so joe and nickys whole subplot cant exist anymore…. idk maybe theyll switch out #copley with moose?? idc as long as we get their stupid car conversation tbh makes me laugh #honestly given the changes that would have to be made they probably just made a stupid movie and don’t want to release it. but I DONT CAREEE #its not exactly like the first one was that good i still mute it in preparation for every cringe needle drop like its a lame movie but its #genuineeeeee fun like i seriously do not care netflix give me my movie!!! #the old guard

first day of @tendaysoftenzo !! the prompt is:

Day 1, November 1st: Tenz-O-Ween (Holidays) | Supernatural 

I went with Yamato telling a (immersive) ghost story! this has been a fragment of an idea in my head for a while and this prompt gave me the shove i needed to actually put pencil to paper.

obviously as it is right now it's unfinished, the tree still needs to be drawn in a lot more detail w/ more human bones around it, and the whole thing is in pencils—when it IS done, i intend for it to be a linework-heavy black and white piece, but that won't be for a little while 'cause we've got 9 more days of tenzō to go!!!

the entity that yamato is talking about is somewhat-loosely based on the Jubokko (樹木子, "tree child") which as far as I'm aware is a fictional yōkai created by Shigeru Mizuki.

#tendaysoftenzo #naruto #my art #yamato #comics #tenzō #yamato tenzō #kakashi #naruto uzumaki #sakura haruno #sai #sai yamanaka #horror #violence mention #im absolutely not the first or the last person to connect tenzō to the jubokko fjjsjfjsj its a really really tempting connection #mostly the thing i adapted about the jubokko was its ability to make noise—that isn't mentioned as far as i'm aware #but i wanted tenzō to be doing something more to actively frighten the kids...and he has that voice altering skill u remember? #from when he pretended to be sasori's puppet? #so i thought that would be a fun way to bring that back... #i had had parts of the script for this written for at least a year but i only started drafting it like two days ago #so this was a real rush job #i decided the one thing i focused hard on was going to be trying to do speech bubbles the ''right'' way instead of phoning it in #and so far it looks pretty good i think. i made a couple dodgy choices but its ok #my favorite parts in this comic are naruto narrowly missing hitting sai. naruto gripping sakuras shoulder... weird woodclone yamato... #and sai's final nervous face on the last page

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Not a question, but I love your blog so much. Makes me so happy :) I'm very excited to see the Yi City trio in your style.

We're getting close to the Yi-City arc! In the meantime, have some behind-the-scenes sketches of me trying to figure out their designs!

#poorly drawn MDZS #MDZS #Xue Yang #A-Qing #xiao xingchen #song lan #Ask #I really love the yi-city arc so I wanted to make sure I was happy with designs! #Im not the best at subtle complexity...so I go for a combo of readability and personality #It ends up turning into 'throwing a ton of stuff at a metaphorical wall and seeing what sticks' #These aren't the only sketches of these guys either. A-Qing my beloved and beloathed I could not figure her out #This is definitely a bit of a step to the left in terms of my usual content but I hope this sneak peak tides you over! #(XXC offering candy and A-Qing's rage are *not* related btw. They are separate goofs) #Meta-meta commentary: Upload schedule is a bit off today due to script overhauls. I will post today's comic...sometime today. #EDIT: Im not gonna upload again today. Im going to sleep u_u

[fconvicted]

i dont usually post previews on my tumblr but im not using twitter as often so why the heck not.

i made the poor life decision of scripting and thumbnailing a comic about Sigma and now im in the clean up sketch process. ill either be back in several months with the finished piece or after october with some PS5 spiderman 2 illustrations

anyways, wish me luck. i know this project is gonna be an emotional rollercoaster for me but if i was able to complete symbiote switch im like 60% sure i can complete this.

#ive been doing a lot of comic studies and im just HHHHHH #i really wanna test my skills yknow? #i have 3 out of 5 issues scripted already but i dunno how far ill get #fun fact sym switch took me a whole year to illustrate and i would like to cut that time in half but we'll see cause i have a day job

[superangsty]

wow I can’t believe they cut this scene out

#floccacinawhatever comics that live in my head rent free #bbc sherlock #in case its not obvious this is a FAKE script. im just trying to be funny xx

We need to talk about the lack of "filler" in series that're been released recently

I just watched a video about ATLA and it's filler or lack there of and, they're right, ATLA doesn't have filler episodes as we define "filler episodes" now. Our understanding of filler is closer to what's used for anime that is, non canon episodes that are made so the anime doesn't catch up with the manga. Applying this to western animation (I say animation bc I graduated in it thus a better understanding and I don't really watch many live action series so I don't have much of a say) we ended up with the impression that it means "episodes that don't move the plot forward"

Which, doesn't make sense with Western animation since most of it isn't a adaptation of something else, or with comic adaptations for ex, they're mostly adaptations of various arcs coming together as a single story. Smt very different from the manga to anime adaptation process

Comparing ATLA who positively doesn't have "filler" and X-men 97 who negatively doesn't have "filler" is a good example of what I'm trying to say.

Not all of ATLA episodes move the "learn the elements and defeat the firelord" plot forward and that's good thank fuck not all episodes are rushing ahead to throwing this 12yo we barely know into a battle with a full grown adult who's perpetrating a war against the rest of the world. Instead we actually get to know the characters, we see them traveling from the South to the North Pole instead of spawning where the plot demands, we see Aang adapt to the world post iceberg nap and learn to be the avatar, we see the effect the 100 year war had in this world. And most of all, the more "filler" episodes contributed to the pacing of the series, when binging the series now I still feel like the Gaang traveled across the whole world and didn't just teleport to the plot.

Opposed to X-men 97, don't get me wrong I'm absolutely loving it but the story is always being racing forward at a breakneck speed. They did try to pace it better inter cutting the main plot with Scott, Jean, Madelyne, Wolverine's whole deal and the "LifeDeath " plot, but if there wasn't the weekly wait for the next episode we would not have any time to breathe and digest what happened in the episodes.

I'm still confused on how Madelyne went from trying to have a normal life outside the x-men to being in Genosha's council. Still on Madelyne, I didn't care that they had to part ways with Nathan, ik he's their baby and all that, but as soon as they named the baby Nathan I knew they were throwing that baby to the future to complete the time loop of him being in the original series. And that's because they never got the chance to try to make us care, the writing team couldn't waste time with that since they only had 8 episodes to tell all these stories, the speed that the plot is being taken makes me believe that when writing this season Disney still hadn't signed on the second season and when they did it was too late to rework the script.

This whole thing is reminding me of Hazbin Hotel's pacing problems, analyzing it as if I didn't watch the pilot, we just met the characters and suddenly had to care that they were going to die in six months, we don't really know Charlie other than 1. she's Lucifer's daughter, 2. daddy issues that aren't rly addressed besides jokes, 3. she's with Vaggie (other character we didn't get to know) and 4. she's the owner of the hotel and wants to rehabilitate the sinners. The worst part of it is, we teleported from the start of the season to 6 months later out of nowhere and suddenly we're at the finale with the big boss battle. Of course HuskDust is a more popular ship than Charlie and Vaggie, we never got the chance to see them being together other than in episodes when the characters are being dragged by the plot while Angel and Husk had an episode where we met them and got the time to see them interact without being pushed by the extermination plot

This is exactly why "filler episodes" are important, we should actually know who these characters are before the big fight at the end so we can actually care about what happens to them. X-men 97 may not suffer that much from it but it's because we already knew most of the characters, but we never got to meet this version of Madelyne, see her going out alone to a world that hates her existence, see her morn having been forced to send her baby off to the future and maybe not being able to see him ever again and finally see never see how did she even end up in Genosha.

Or Storm, sure we got a two parter, but how did she get to fuck knows where to meet Forge in that bar, what did she go through during the time she was traveling alone, it's not as if people wouldn't recognize her as a x-men even if she'd left the team, maybe see more of how the relationship between her and Forge developed, cuz I didn't get why she still wants to be with him even after he basically created the tec that was turned into the weapons used to kill mutants, that's smt one can't just forgive, and yes I'd like to see her as she struggles with not having her powers, smt other than she feeling lonely without the wind (this would work even as just a montage with sad music as she travels to the fuckall haunted desert)

On a rly quick note on Invincible I do think they did a good job with their pacing and character development with the time they had, I'd like to have seen a bit more of Rex's development from complete douche to Lizard Leader homemade lobotomy to where we are now, but on the Grayson family whole thing they did an amazing job at showing how they're dealing with the aftermath of season 1, there was just a little jump from Debbie downing a bottle of wine every day to full bug mom mode but I do think she'd step up to it no doubt.

Maybe just some scenes of her still working through s1 trauma and questioning wtf is wrong w Nolan bc from her perspective he just killed hundreds of ppl on Earth, almost killed Mark, fucked off to space and suddenly there's a purple half bug baby living in her house calling her mom. But I don't think that's strictly necessary since there's always fanfiction to bridge this gap and it's just a minor thing that bothered me

TLDR: Filler in western cartoons isn't really filler, these are just episodes to help develop the world or characters without having to rush with the plot and also episodes that help with the pacing of the story, thus showing the passage of time or great distances being crossed without having the characters spawn at the next plot point. And we do need it specially for shows that are intended for binging, such as most shows now. What determines good filler from bad filler here is good writing

To play baldurs gate or to draw baldurs gate...the age old question

#i have all these tav and astarion + companion comics scripted out #but feel like i have to Practice drawing them first but ugh i just wanna do them #and then...im about to leave act one and that's super tempting......... #been listening to the sountrack all day and its nice and rainy outside....

[magnolia-sunrise]

well speaking of robots and wires, im realizing i definitely dont have enough time to finish both this and my actually new years themed piece in time without rushing one or the other, so im gonna shelve this one until after. but! a little wip preview for you

#theres more but i gotta leave something as a surprise right #im designing the inside of their body mostly based on human musculature with a metal frame and extra wires for nervous system etc #it makes most sense to me in terms of this worlds design of androids. the muscles have to sit right under the skin #for them to be so expressive and holdable #the top image is originally from a short scene i scripted to be a comic that i will maybe do. eventually #maybe!! either way. i love a wolfgang who deals with their own insecurities by putting them in your face and being obnoxiously direct

[quackshley]

uhhh the scrunkliess!!!!!!!

#furry #furryart #furry art #furry artist #furry artwork #furry oc #wow i havent drawn comic stuff in ages. i might dump some of the old concept art here at some point. maybe itll motivate me to start drawin #it again. i still do love the golden pine theatre comic #i did revise some of the script though but that was a while ago. the beginning got a decent overhaul. plus some designs got punched up. #Theres more i wanna fix and change but im still waiting for motivation to hit me #and if i start posting the comic again itll be as i feel like drawing it rather than weekly. Also might switch from webtoon to tumblr for #posting it. but eh who knows im just rambling here

[quibbs]

when writing the script of your comic, did you ever draw some of the panels ahead of time? im making a comic of my own and find it difficult to choose between drafting sketches of the comic and finishing the scripts because i get to overambitious and finalize the pages drawings enitrely, and later find the mood/style of the comic doesnt fit the later halfs of the script. did this ever happen with you? and how did you overcome it? thank you for your time :)

oh yeah dude! personally i've found that i can NEVER be too precious about either side of the process....it's an exercise in futility because inherently you are only working with one half of the vision that MUST change once it meets its other half. it's only where drawing and writing meet that you even actually truly understand what you're making at all!

i think everyone's got a different approach to how they merge the two processes; unfortunately what works for me may not work for you, but personally....the scripting and the drawing have to be done simultaneously in a balanced way or it just won't harmonize.

the script gives you the structure and the meaning, but it doesn't show you how the scene moves and lives and feels. invest too heavily in that and you could miss where drawing the life into the script takes you organically. but just as the drawing gives you the movement and energy and emotion, overworking that without the structure of the script makes the art unguided and incoherent. in my experience (which again, is just how i do it, lol) they gotta be developed together or else risk feeling like completely disjointed pieces.

the best advice i can give is to do both simultaneously but loosely. start with the script, write until you know it's solid but not perfect- basically, write with room for change. then make loose sketches, solid enough to work with, but again, with room to change. by the time you've finished sketching, you'll understand what needs to change in your script, and then by the time you edit your script, you're ready to finish the art. the rest falls into place as you put them together.

hope that helps!!!

#tips and tricks #tbh going through it right now in the chapter im developing #i overwrote it. and THEN i overdrew it. listening & learning #as for overcoming it once it's already happened... #i do tend to favor my scripts over the art. if youve already finished the art then i just. (breathes in). abandon it #and try to salvage what i can for parts to use later lol #i have a little dead page file cabinet that i sift through as if it's a bag of loose screws and tacks #very morbid and sad #but thats comics baby!
