30 DAY SNOWPIERCER CHALLENGE

↳ day 6: least favourite villain (commander grey)

god i hate grey so much. i just want to punch his smug face whenever he's on screen. i was also considering putting pike as my least favourite villain but one) he's not really a villain and two) i didn't want to edit him twice lmao. but grey is definitely my second least favourite character in the whole show. i'm so glad he's (hopefully) dead and he stays that way.

I did it ! They're here ! My boys !

This project has been super fun, and stressful, but mostly fun lmao. It's basically a bunch of things I rarely do, such as drawing everything digitally from the start, drawing male bodies, drawing full bodies, fucking shoes, the list goes on. While there are things I could have done better I am super happy that I pushed through I saw this to completion !

I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do !

Also tagging @vacantgodling because it's the boys <3

Some notes (and single images someday I'm currently tired) under the cut !

I do not mind at all I love these darlings <3<3<3

Rei - He/Him, Aroace

Andie - They/Them, Queer

Timothy - He/Him, Demisexual

Nico - He/Him, Questioning

Mike - He/Him, Bisexual

I’m unsure of their gender identities, but I do know they’re all comfortable being referred to as a boy

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies ?

Rei - Playing videogames, reading comic books, and collecting figurines

Andie - Cheerleading/Gymnastics, singing, and photography

Timothy - Reading, ballet, and witchcraft

Nico - Baking, gardening/herbology, and skateboarding

Mike - Drawing, media analysis, and archery

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits ?

Rei - Quick thinker, sentimental, and clever

Andie - Supportive, enthusiastic, and a great listener

Timothy - Loving, attentive, and witty

Nico - Helpful, comforting, and generous

Mike - Patient, reliable, and compassionate

😊 SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES — what are your oc's career/general life desires ? what do they want to get the most out of life ?

Rei is a bit too young to have any sort of life goal set. Truth be told, he has issues with figuring these things out, like at all. Which is anxiety-inducing, but he’s also only 15 so he’ll have time to figure it out. Although, I do think he has thoughts about getting into filmmaking, since he does write from time to time.

Andie’s current major goal in life is to compete in the quad-world Championships. Which is like the Olympics (which they also wish to compete in) but bigger, since it involves all four worlds of Earth, Tsym, Effedonia, and Malcedom. Other than that, not much besides having fun. 

Timothy is kinda in the same boat as Rei, minus the anxiety. He’s just kinda going with the flow, minding his own business (but also not at all lol). Though I could totally see him becoming a professor in mythology, anthropology, or even psychology or something similar. 

Nico I feel would be content if he just has a place for himself. That’s it. So long as he can just be in peace, he’ll be fine. Obviously he’d love to have someplace to grow his plants, but more than that he’s not asking for. Though I love the idea of him running his own bakery where he grows the ingredients himself. 

Mike’s goal is to become a full-time artist. Whether that means being a freelance illustrator, hired concept artist, or even animator, doesn’t really matter. So long as he can work with something artistic and be able to live comfortably from it, he’ll be happy. 

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY WITH MOTHER, FATHER, SON AND DAUGHTER — how many people are in your oc's immediate family ? how many people are in your oc's extended family ? do they have aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc ? who in their family are they closest with ? are they close with their birth family, or do they have a found family ?

Biological family is actually something I haven’t thought about when it comes to this wip. With the slight exception of Nico whose family is not, umm, that good. Basically, bio family so far hasn’t really been important to the story (aside from Nico) so I haven’t given time to figure that whole thing out.

Really, what’s most important family-wise is the found family of the boys !

I don’t think I’ve talked about it in depth so I’ll do it here. Something that is very important to me when I write is the relationship between the male characters. Obviously f/f and m/f relationships are important too, but specifically m/m friendships are important.

Growing up I really liked what ‘sisterhood’ represented; unbreakable bonds of friendship, trust, love, emotional vulnerability, loyalty, all that good stuff. But as a closeted enby I couldn’t comfortably identify with it, and I felt that the way ‘brotherhood’ was presented to me was missing that connection. Which, honestly isn’t too surprising given how media (and general society too) hates it when boys are emotionally vulnerable and/or affectionate with each other. So basically, I want to create a type of ‘brotherhood’ that encompasses the same idéas as ‘sisterhood’ but is more easy for guys like me to identify.
