“We’re going to reanimate him, aren’t we?” Maxwell asks, foot tapping impatiently against the deck. They’ve moved Torse’s body to Marya’s workshop and Maxwell hates how much it makes his friend look like an invention. Or worse, a toy. It pisses him off so much to see, but it would piss him off more trying to go about his day as if his friend didn’t shove his heart in an engine to save a world.

At her workbench, Marya doesn’t look up from the iron heart she’s messing with. “Yes, Maxwell, that is the plan. Try asking another ten times, the answer might surprise you!”

“I’m just wondering.” He crosses his arms, shoulders raised and temper flaring. “Considering non-consensual heart modification was not part of our original discussion. Maybe other things have changed, as well.”

Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters, rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

Edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?
