What can you expect to find on this blog?

The gist of this blog is to be a home for all my fanworks, usually drawings, but doesn't exclude the possibility of edits, memes, or other things.

Anyone is also free to use the art that I post to this blog.

Reference/inspiration or for edits, headcanons, moodboards, fanfics, profile pics, etc. Basically however you like. Crediting is appreciated but I'm not particularly fussed. I'm just happy to create something that resonates with other people enough that they share it or are inspired to create something for it.

I have a blog for personal art, but I prefer to keep that strictly separate from this one.

I'm not super communicative or outgoing, but happy to share what I make.

Other thing to note: If I ever make weird typos, or put out of place words in my posts, my iPads stupid autocorrect is mostly to blame for that.

Questions? Ask away! Love to hear em!

About art requests (Closed until further notice)

There's no guarantee that I'll draw something that you request. At the end of the day, I post about what I want and sometimes I'm not inspired by every request I see. Often times, I don't prioritise requests and would much rather do what I feel like doing at any given time, or sometimes it just takes a while to get done since I can't move a million miles a minute.

I need to stop being sad about stupid shit. Sulking about a crackship I can’t justify the existence of. Grow tf up.

I wanna get all my CoDawn sketches organised and posted so I can put this sinking ship behind me.

This inspired me to try to make his rotation more accurate, though his leaked model sheet only has front, 3/4 front and profile angles, so this is the best I can do for now.

Original on left, edit on right. I only adjusted the face so far, but it already makes a noticeable difference.

Explanation for changes.

Also, the height of the head had been adjusted to be consistent at all angles.

Animated rotation (focus on face only). Original on left, edit on right.

Even ignoring the mouth flapping, you will notice the head on the left bobbing up and down in a way it shouldn’t be. Same with the bottom of the chin, to a lesser extent.

It’s a hoax, in case you didn’t know.

Still, the concept of Trent having a twin brother named Brent is really funny.

But how could you guys forget about Trent’s totally real, totally canon brother-

1. Love triangle / Trent’s villainy.

As long as Duncan returns to the game, I still see the love triangle happening. Which, yes, would be an effective turning point in Trent’s character. Seeing his paranoia/jealousy of Duncan in TDA finally validated despite previously being dismissed about it by his now-ex would reopen wounds of indignation and betrayal, which dissolves into making him much more disillusioned with love, and would periodically make him less empathetic of others feelings as a result.

This is the point in the story where he would actually use his good social standing as a strategy, and start playing with people’s feelings. (I think earlier on, he had a couple of moments of using his history with people to nudge them in certain directions, but playing with feelings was a threshold he initially wouldn’t cross due to how Heather did the same to him in TDI)

He was also a hit with the girls earlier on in the season too, being all cool and mysterious (everyone knows Trent, but does anyone really know Trent?), and being the frontman of an internationally sensational band really skyrockets his popularity in-universe. Though he was more annoyed and resigned to the attention he was getting from practically half the girls on the cast (familiar?) This overwhelm of attention also wears on his patience and makes him more inclined towards aloofness.

After Gwuncan gets exposed, the teams are thrown into emotional shambles like in canon. But unlike Alejandro, who was emotionally distant from the chaos and calculatingly used it to his advantage, Trent’s feelings would also be part of the fray. He seems coolheaded and aloof on the surface, but he makes a lot more moves out of spite than long-term strategy, his playstyle messier and more emotionally driven than Alejandro’s.

There’s a closer parallel to Heather’s TDI playstyle in that way, though the thought of being compared to Heather in any way would be one that Trent passionately objects to.

2. TDA Characterisation.

The AU was working on the premise that TDI and TDA were exactly the same as canon, with the exception of episode 27 of TDA / The Celebrity Manhunt special, wherein only classic contestants would compete in TDWT instead of introducing the newcomers.

So yes, Trent would still act exactly as he did in the canon version of TDA. The AU would have TDWT serve to recontextualise his behaviours in retrospect, rather that alter the first two seasons in any way.

3. Regret and Forgiveness.

He probably has a bit of a moment of reflection during the late stretch of the season, he definitely has some guilt for the way he used others, though he wouldn’t give into that guilt until the finale, because otherwise… we wouldn’t have a finale.

Even so, I’m on the fence on whether or not he actually embraces his new, badder persona. For all I know, he could find that he loves being a villain.

But if Trent does regret his actions, he regrets them hardcore.
