Noct, formerly Layla, was a shipbreaker that was severely injured in an industrial accident. Fitted with haphazard prosthetics and bondage under a mountain of medical debt, she fled her post to the abandoned world of Myr: a forgotten place in the grand scheme of society, where lost and broken things collect.
She now thrives as a salvager under a new name; hunting down valuable scrap amid hull wrecks while evading debt collectors, bounty hunters, and her own desperation as she walks the dead world.
The making of my first piece of CG art for IRM! ♡ This isn't in the story quite yet, as I still need to finish the second part, and I still need to properly optimize it for the app, but I figured it couldn't hurt to throw it on here. 🐦⬛
I do want to clarify real quick; the background is just the stock slum/night background from The Aracana; I didn't make that part. I ain't that good, yet. 🙃
Be sure to catch the latest episodes of 'In Medias Res' on Dorian! Next episode is being worked on already! 🖋
I find it so refreshing that we are in this rare stage in western animation where disney is actually not monopolizing all the attention. If anything, 2022 has been one of their worse years yet in the animation department. Everything they have done has been completely eclipsed by other studios for once. Their Pinocchio "movie" was just obliterated by Guillermo del Toro's version. Strange World was completely forgotten because of poor marketing choices, allowing Dreamworks to come back with the Bad Guys and Puss in Boots, the first being very good and the second absolutely excellent (I'm being serious, this movie is SO MUCH MORE than a simple Shrek spin-off).
TMNT even got its time to shine with probably the best 2D animated film this year (in a technical aspect at least), rekindling an interest for the entire franchise (with another TMNT movie by Seth Rogen in production!!)
The Sea Beast was amazing. Wendell & Wild was a masterclass. 2022 has just been excellent throughout, and it's Disney that happens to be the weakest at the moment. Even the Minions 2 got more attention than most things that came out on Disney + Animation this year (not saying that the movie was great or anything, but it's saying a lot)
And when we look at the next Pixar movie coming out next year, the hype pales in comparison to the Mario movie, and let's not even TALK about Across the Spiderverse......everybody knows it's going to snatch everyone's wig, and all the awards under the sun to match it.
So yeah, western animation gets to breathe a little, and it feels amazing.
why r the snw uniforms so tit-tastic. a star trek man puts a strange new worlds shirt on and suddenly hes breasting boobily down the enterprise hallway. science please explain
Myr's cold sands and thin atmosphere are inhospitable for the unprepared. Thankfully, Noct's home base goes with her, wherever she wanders off to. It's also useful for storing whatever random crap she finds and thinks might be of value.
