Cover art done!

Expect first page to drop this month!

What day of the week will I be posting the comic art? Tuesday.

Now the cover:

Do I think it looks kinda bad? Yes

Am I gonna fix it? Nope

Was it fixed digitally? Yep

Suffocatingly cold. That's what it felt like to be under the control of Lady Bone Demon. A feeling Sun Wukong immediately despised as he foolishly fell under the foul spirit's hold. It felt like someone had tied anchors to his feet before shoving him into a freezing ocean.

The Great Sage was struggling for control as the fiend sent an order to his now uncontrollable body: Rob his successor of his life. Her words further taunting him as Sun Wukong reluctantly approach the young man.

'Such a bright and innocent soul. A candle light ready to be snuffed out by the one who strengthen the flame. Another person you have failed.'

And the worst thing is that she's right. Sun Wukong never fully committed to teaching MK. Not training him to handle his magic which lead to all the dangers that could've been avoided. Not being honest about the very demon that puppeted his body. The threat, how to destroy her and the ritual that could've taken the life of his student's best friend.

Sun Wukong had failed MK like all the other people he grew close to. But...his student isn't gone yet. He can still make up for his failures. To rectify the mistakes he has made and mend that broken trust. Ask for a chance to prove himself worthy of being able to change.

And he can't do that under this bitch's control. No way this monkey would grant this twisted ghost's wishes. He WILL WIN. Not as the Handsome Monkey King or the Great Sage Equal To Heaven. He'll do it as Sun Wukong, the real him.

"It seems you truly woken up." Pain. Head splitting pain shot through the stone monkey's mind. An intensity so true that the Lady Bone Demon's control felt small compared to it. But...this is somehow welcoming despite that.

So welcoming that he barely missed the sensation of something new on his face. A leathery texture reminiscent to shark or whale hide... Maybe a mask if it had what felt like teeth at the bottom ridges.

"Took eons for thou to admit such follies. To change by thy will than the wretched leash of others like a mutt. I believe it's time to form the contract."

This voice... Sun Wukong didn't know who or what it is nor the offer given. Yet... Deep in his stone heart, the monkey fully trusts them! Voice broken and raspy as the shaken words from his throat shook all around him. "S...ea...l...th...e...con...tract..."

"Then let's begin, pup! I Am Thou and Thou Art I. Tear apart the anchors of control off thy flesh! Let your spirit swim and drag those who dare hunt you to the depths! Show this scurvy wench that she has no control over the beast in your soul!!!"

Those very words gave the immortal enough strength to resist Lady Bone Demon's control. To shakily reach the mask that now burned his face... And tear it off as dark gold blood flew alongside the hot willed cry that roar from Sun Wukong's throat.

"Capsize the enemy, MOBY DICK!"

Does this answer your inquiry @sapphireflame? Truth be told, I had this idea for a long time coming. Just not a chance to fully air it out in some way. The right situation to be more precise.

Luckily Season 3 granted me just the specific opening I need. Moby Dick is a monstrous white whale and main adjective in the tale of the same name. How one's foolish stubborn hunt for this mighty beast dragged the hunter alongside most of his crew to their watery deaths.

Something very fitting when it comes to Sun Wukong's character. The captain whose actions dragged everyone around him into peril. Only makes sense for the white whale to capsize such foolishness before it could lead to the same conclusion as the book. I might write more of this. Just really depends on how I can balance it since this is Sun Wukong. A very deep and very powerful character.

That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you back at Megapolis.

She’s based off a saber-toothed tiger that I slammed into a blender and sprinkled in other feline creatures 

A lil drabs based off a load of awesomly hilarious ask convos between myself, @strawberryxoxxo and my beautiful Wilford Warfstache anon (aka my sweetpea) so LET’S BEGIN!

There was a very good reason why people didn't give Wilford Warfstache candy....I was leaning this the harder way, after my grave mistake of providing said bombastic man with...a lot, of cotton candy.

'MMMMM HYPER WARFSTACHE ENGAGED!'

I sighed as the moustached man guzzled at the candy like a ravenous beast, I turned to my friend Strawbs who only rolled her eyes with a gentle grin.

'It's....slightly adorable.'

I commented which made her snicker lightly, I turned to her with a light smirk.

'Much like you.'

Her expression slackened and she fixed me with a glare, tilting her head up with an air of certain sophistication.

'I am no such thing and you fucking know it.'

I grinned and folded my arms in a mockery of her stance.

'Oh really? Well I firmly believe that you're a straight up cutie!'

She gritted her teeth firmly, trying to press her lips into a thin line as she continued to deny my truth. Which was the truth, even if she couldn't quite see it. She glowered with a miniscule grin.

'Well I can assure you that I am very much the opposite, I am the definition of an asshole!'

Strawbs smiled widely as she spread her arms out to her sides, I opened my mouth in order to reply....but a raucious interruption prevented that.

'CUTIE BOOTY MAKES ME HOOTY EVEN THOUGH I AIN'T TRYIN TO BE RUUUDEY!'

I giggled at Wilford's beautifully imaginitive song, I even confess to doing a little jig as a result. Strawbs and I both looked to the giddy man who was boucing and laughing in childish glee.

'I am not cute dammit!'

Strawbs tried to yell but his...beautiful? singing meant she couldn't be heard, she grumbled as Wilford approached us with a wide grin; I gave his cheek a light pat.

'Stunning vocals cutie.'

He flushed slightly, his voice in a permanantly exclaimatory pitch.

'I AM NOT A CUTIE! SHE'S THE CUTE CUTE CUTIE CUTIE CUTE!'

Strawbs bristled again as Wilford giggled heavily next to us, his lips coated in a thin pink sheen from the cotton candy; which ironically also matched his moustache. I turned to her.

'C'mon, anyone with strawberry in their name is TOTALLY cute!'

Her eyes narrowed, but we both jumped when Wilford seemed to make a noise of....realisation?

'OOOOOH! YOU KNOW WHAT GOES GREAT WITH STRAWBERRIES? RASPBERRIES! RASPBERRIES ALL ROUND!!!'

Strawbs and I shared a panicked glance before we tried to bolt away....but it was too late. By some...voodoo shit probably, Wilford had started unleashing raspberries upon both of us. They reached our tummies, necks...basically everywhere. We were both caught in fits of laughter as I turned to our tormentor.

'WHAHAT THE HEHELL?! GEHET HEHER NOHOT ME TOHOHO!!'

Wilford shrugged nochalantly but I swear I caught a hint of deviance cross his features as he called out.

'I CAN'T CONTROL THEM! NO ONE CAN ESCAPE THE RASPBERRIES!!!'

I yelped and laughed more, I turned to look for my companion who....had escaped the raspberries. Strawbs stood to the side slightly breathlessly, she smiled and gave me a small salute.

'Sorry buddy but I'm outta here!'

My eyes widened as I turned to Wilford, who was slightly in shock.

'Wha-how did she? Huh....well LOOKS LIKE I'VE ONLY GOTTA FOCUS EM ON ONE PERSON!'

I screeched as the full onslaught of raspberries rained down upon me, I called out to the only person who could possibly save me.

'DOHOHON'T LEHEHEAVE MEHEHE STRAHAHAWBS!'

It seemed that my prayers were answered because almost immediatly, a strong arm wrenched me away from the tickly onslaught. I gasped as I looked up at my fruity saviour, she smiled gently.

'I couldn't abandon you buddy.'

I smiled as I caught my breath back.

'Thanks.'

She soon schooled her features, a determined twinkle present in her eye as she spoke.

'I hope you realise that I still adamantly deny being cute.'

I sighed, I knew deep down it would take a lot more energy that I currently possessed to try and convince her further.

'Fine, but that won't stop me from seeing you that way.'

She sighed through her nose before her lips spread into a resigned smile.

'Fine.'

I grinned, and it was only then we both noticed the rather large silence that engulfed our surroundings. We turned and snickered at the sight of Wilford, passed out from the come down of his sugar coma. I chucked a blanket on him and pecked his forehead before strolling away with my fruity buddy....we both agreed that this would be quite a story.

While I'm dreaming designs and making/drawing the comic I'm also writing short stories in this AU!

I'm calling the series of the stories: "The Non-Canon Canon" they don't have any particular chronological order, and are Canon as long as the comic doesn't show otherwise!

The Non-Canon Canon:

- "I'm Sorry ... I forgot"

AU name: Unexpected Scan

Ingredients:

1 (one) kidnapped teenager

3 (three) stubborn Diamonds

existential dread

long hair Steven

Pearl babysitter duty

A Cluster that’s like “hey :)”

It’s ask-based, so you’ll be able to bother Steven directly.

Premise:

Steven gets abducted to Homeworld and the Diamonds refuse to believe he’s not Pink.

He ends up stuck there for 3.5 years, growing up in the middle of gem politics, weird alien etiquette and ✨trauma✨.

The comic will be ask-based (like a blog), so you can interact with Steven, ask questions, etc.

Does he know that he has a blog?

Nah, no he doesn't. So let's surprise him! 🤭

Featuring:

Teen Steven (longer hair, skinnier, tired of everyone’s shit)

Diamonds who won’t change their mind

Steven counting time in Earth units and annoying everyone

LOTS of worldbuilding, angst, and comedy

If you like: ✔ SU AUs

✔ ask blogs

✔ comics with lore + character focus

✔ Steven actually going through consequences

then yeah… you might enjoy this mess 😂

I’ll be posting art + pages soon.
