soph !!!!!!!!

my old art ...

vs my NEW art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

in fact !! i can mostly remember the origins of every member lol. the oldest are definitely tiffy & valen,,, they were originally college roommates then celebrity girlfriends (tiffy being a model & valen being an actor) & they even had different names LMAO (tia & spencer)

i think in addition quinn (inspired by quinn from glee LMAOOOOO) and sydney were just kinda side characters to me ? i think syd wasn't even part of the main "friend group" i had in mind either lol i think she was some random older woman named michelle actually FHDSJKFHDSF (actually. sydney was from a DIFFERENT au i had in mind with the same characters. she was dead valen's girlfriend who was accused of murdering her helpppp)

the idea for a girl group came about cuz i got DEVIOUSLY obsessed w loona and the whole kpop thing was intriguing but wasn't ever really fulfilling in a way... so i made up my own !! originally there were 6 members: syd, valen, tiffy, quinn & two others aria & rian (but aria's character was absorbed into valen and rian was absorbed into sydney)

(and redesigned... slightly)

hello!!! flux is the newest addition to my collection of random art projects that i indulge in cuz i decided that there's a gap in the market for it lol

kpop is lowkey a mess so i wanted to make a sort of intersection between a global & kpop group & that's how flux came to be!!!

i've actually done a bunch of art for it already !! hopefully i can get my ass in gear and make a carrd or rentry or something to actually use as an art portfolio lolllll but for now check out what ive done on here!!

stylistically it was super weird mixing multiple art styles with each other- like the odd eye circle scenes of them outside were almost completely monochrome, except for their signature oec outfits (i.e. the coloured neckties & skirts) but lighting still existed ???? so whenever they'd go inside one of their dorm rooms the lighting would be mostly sepia tone ???

the only kind of plot i could glean from like . this incredibly disjointed dream sequence was that there was an actual threat in town this time (like a serial killer? i think? but one of those especially fucked up ones that did weird things to their victims. i remember something about puppies in the oven?? HJSDJHSD idk idk 😭) & it was really stressing the girls out cuz something really dangerous was afoot this time

the scenes of the serial killer (???) were yet another stark change in art style with it being significantly grittier yet indistinct. like the walten files artstyle kinda - just so dirty but obviously handpainted.

there were some other stuff like:

3H being introduced thru this strangely quirky sequence where you'd learn about their characters via flipping through their notebook. heejin was described as a "femcel" 😭😭😭😭 & haseul as this mega rich snobby literature student . hyunjin was a furry into yumeshipping OBVIOUSLY

it had a soundtrack! basically this incredibly stripped-back extremely slow jazz-type thing. what mostly played were the deepest tones that a bass cello could make in very slow succession

probably the weirdest element was the fact that canonically (in dream canon. i guess) it was dubbed over in a sort of korean-french combination of language. i know neither of those languages! so me IN THE DREAM could not understand them LMAO
