Just remembered I never posted these: designs of the characters from Ayreon's The Human Equation, part of a project that I named "The Character Equation", which consists on making a design for every Ayreon character ever (AT SOME POINT. Whenever I don't have dangerously close deadlines. I'm going to be taking my sweet time with this.)

They are heavily inspired on the costume design for The Theater Equation, but they are modeled after the singers in the studio album and their designs are more simple since I tackled these with a comic-making mentality (so, nothing too complex in case you had to draw these designs over and over again in multiple pages and panels).

I go over the process of most of these on these videos! I still have to finish a third one... eventually... but things kept coming up and I had to leave video-making aside.

I feel like Guilt Machine as a whole doesn't get enough attention, but this really is an excellent Leonard Cohen cover

Arjen Lucassen seems to have a joke around Tommy Karevik whenever the former casts the latter every studio album era

to elaborate

The Theory of Everything

Tommy shares his name with that one album by The Who about a boy who was traumatized into psychologically losing his sight and hearing then having to be drugged to gain his senses back, just like Karevik's character perceived as having deficits in communication then getting drugged himself, both to very bad results in the end

I have pointed the above bullet out to Arjen long ago and we kinda laughed about it

The Source

Tommy was cast as the Opposition Leader just after Kamelot released Haven which has political and rebellious themes in its lyrics especially „Revolution“ and „Citizen Zero“

oddly enough the themes continue into The Shadow Theory which is Kamelot's take on technology killing your soul which is a huge fricking issue in The Source

Transitus

The Theory of Everything had one part where Tommy was belting out WHY?! and now it has its own track

Theory and Source had a dynamic between Tommy and Mike Mills from Toehider and Arjen could not resist casting Mike again even for one song? and they don't even sing together but like you can just sense the dynamic between Daniel and the centurion statue just by the way the two sang the adjacent songs

apparently it's very satisfying to hear Tommy belting out NO!!! several times in succession

Tommy was a firefighter in Stockholm and then he got married and lives in Canada with Kobra Paige now and he's cast as somebody who dies in a fire shortly after moving into a new home with a girlfriend

Lyrics In a matter of a moment Lost till the end of time It's the evening of another day And the end of mine Now the starlight which has found me Lost for a million years Tries to linger as it fills my eyes 'Till it disappears Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind Some other place Somewhere Some other time Some other place Somewhere Some other time Like a mirror held before me Large as the sky is wide And the image is reflected Back to the other side Could it be that somebody else is Looking into my mind Some other place Somewhere Some other time Some other place Somewhere Some other time

💚The Chemist💚

The Source characters 6/11✨

Over halfway done! ^-^ Have the Chemist! He is unfortunately the one to get the short end of the stick in my au, being that...I made him an antagonist sorta XD

The Frame was good on Alpha, and TH-1 is good later on in the story, but I needed some additional emotional conflict so...enter Chemist XD💚

Basically, he kinda went insane lol. His family and daughter died on Alpha and he is Traumatized TM, and Depressed TM, and he kinda lets it get to him. His lyrics were always a bit off in the album, as he was the only one singing about "paralyzing their minds" and "letting the Source take control" so I has a hunch he knew ahead of the others that the Source...may mess them up XD

So he has that info, tells no one, and maybe even tries to kill the Captain out of jealousy at one point XD IT'S A FUN TIME. He's more of a tragic antagonist than a full on villain, as he is mostly driven by grief, but he lets it take him over and people get hurt in the end, SO. Yeah XD

Basically he loses a few screws and goes into a grief spiral FUN TIMES ON THE STARBLADE💚✨🎉

The horse is out of the barn 🤠 I made ANOTHER comic. Don't ask me why does this keep happening, I really don't know either.

This time, for Arjen Lucassen and Robert Soeterboek's new (old) project, Plan Nine. It was a spontaneous idea from Robert after seeing something I did (I'm guessing it was the Universal Migrator comic), like "why don't we make a comic?", and Arjen told me, and of course I asked him if he was 100% sure because I would ABSOLUTELY do it. T'was a pleasure to work with Arjen again (...but when am I NOT working with him, is the question), and this time with Robert, too.

It was a lot of fun making this, and I had to illustrate basically everything artists hate: backgrounds, buildings, cars, motorcicle, a mule (which I guess is horse adjacent)... It's 22-ish pages, telling a short story for each song, and I may be biased, but I do believe it enriches the listening experience. It's available for pre-order in the Mascot store, and it's released on May 17th along with the album, so... no reason to not get it!

Through the glowing mist, like a fog of radiation // I can see the forming of new planets // Well it's like I've been struck by thunder as I witness all the splendor // And I realize just how small, how small we really are

On a quest for life // Through the sable skies // What a show! (What a show!) // Behold! (Behold!) // The dawn of a million souls

On a bold crusade // In the realm of shade // What a show! (What a show!) // Behold! (Behold!) // The dawn of a million souls
