364/365 – 2018-12-30

I never really got round to any of the “draw X in Y” stuff and frankly I wanted to end 2018 on not just a solid note but also the most worthwhile “draw X in Y” meme.

I won’t be doing much more than a sketch tomorrow so today was best chance really.

But honestly, this is absolutely something Simon would wear, not even to take part in the me mes. He doesn’t give a fuck, he believes the message and he would fuck people up if required.

 

The Records of the Order; Synopsis of the Rift

With tumblr becoming a site that’s becoming massively abandoned, I’m going to shift over a “project” that fleshed out my characters in world called “The Records of the Order; Synopsis of the Rift“. This was a series of posts that were similar to the Touhou lore supplements by ZUN such as Perfect Memento in Strict Sense which are “in universe” accounts of characters and races within the series.

TRotO;SotR is written from the perspective of two senior archivists for an organisation called “The Order of the Rift” that attempts to keep a local town near a major space-time rift safe. Be it from things from the rift itself or other magical creatures attracted to the bizarre chaotic energies it puts out. As they’re written from a lopsided point of view, the “factual” analysis of the subjects at hand, such as Marcus Fukuyama, are a little skewed by eyewitness reports, hearsay and guesswork. But that makes it more interesting to be honest.

Each of these posts also had a little art piece associated with them which were meant to look like there were from an old aged book.

I don’t think I ever got that feel and some where almost five years old by this point, so I figured this would be prime opportunity to update those pieces with something that looks less mess.

This is something I’ll be doing on the side of commissions, especially in this period where I’ve wound down due to the holidays and some medical appointments upcoming so these posts will all be super infrequent, but I’ll remember to categorise them correctly when I do post them.

Regarding Patreon: Given how I’ll be doing these posts, they may end up live at the same time on the site and Patreon. However these are side projects as opposed to my main line of work (commissions and other general personal pieces) so my main content process won’t change.
