The Wedding | Bark and Bite 2 of 15

Hello again @scientificallywrongsoap , lil beans and random people that found this on their feed.

This is the second illustration for the wedding of our lovely murderous boys. As some of you know I have plans for other pieces that involves churches and a party. And I have space to fill so I need your help.

If any of you has an OC (original character) or a “sona” / persona that you use to appear on line, no matter the fandom. And you want to be in the background of the next pieces, means to this the ceremony and the party, please send the references to my inbox! I already have a few but I need more. I have big ass space to fill.

EDIT 19/01/25 if you are a writer and you don’t have your character or your sona in pictures or drawings you can send me a reference made with PicCrew! If you search for “full body” you can find tons of options for to build your character, a plus in this one is that this templates are made by artist so is good to go. Cuz I’m sorry but in this house we are against the use of AI for art, so please don’t send AI as reference.

The size of each one of the future illustrations (including this and the previous one) are 36 x 26 cm or 14.4 x 10.4 inches long . That is HUGE, so we all can print it when I’m finish but yea. Send those references in my way please I will be grateful for that.

But now let me explain what the hell are you looking in this work!!!

In first place we have the complete piece with dialogues. Those dialogues are based on the video that shows up the change in Subject 7-1 gear at the beginning of The Glitch arc. In that one Swagger mentions that he likes more the old mask, and John gives to him that mask.

So that’s why in this piece he has that one , and not the new one.

I also have a lot of theory of why he is not using his old gear anymore but that’s matter of a future fanfic not something for this wedding.

On second we have ✨Clothes Details ✨

As I said in the past one, I modify the traditional attires to fit them, in Thai piece we can see more of the little things that I added to Subject 7-1 clothes, the brooch is more clear and the little buttons in the sleeve are matches in color and detail. Again for the lost ones violet/ purple is his color. The pattern again I did it myself by hand and I’m still, very proud.

Swaggers has symmetrical details so this sides matches the other one.

Now THE BACKGROUND

I asked glitch for his favorite maps in Warzone, why Warzone and not zombies? Or multiplayer? Cuz Swagger comes from the Warzone universe, the same one that WZ. So it was at least for me very clear that we needed that. He give me the list. And he remembered that in Vondel map, one of his favs, it has an actual church. And the decision was made.

Vondel is the map where they will get married. Of course here it looks more clean than in the real map, but let’s pretend that the boys cleaned the house before the ceremony. This specific church is based in a real life one the link to see the real one is in the previous post. And belive me when I said that I searched and search I even ask my friends if they have a good screen shoot of the place.

None of the screenshots give me the vibe I needed. So I DID THE FUCKING CHURCH BY HAND, LINE BY LINE. BRICK TO BRICK. ALL MINE.it took me like,,, Ikd four ? Five hours? But I get it done and it looks stupidly beautiful and fit thing that I love it.

Then we add a little Easter eggs for the other boys, in one we have a pink soap with a crown with pink gems to represent Johnny and Baby Girl , in the other side we have the traditional new ghost skull mask, the other one didn’t work I’m sorry.

And we have a crown for Biblical Accurate König next to Jack mask cuz they are they. And in the wall a big explosion and the line “WZ was here” . My boy was there. I love him so much. Belive me when I said that after I finish the wedding and the centaur König I promise to itibo , the boy will be my next victim for art. I have so much of him that I want to draw.

And that’s it for now. Please send your references, I don’t bite. And I don’t judge ocs. All are welcome. Let’s party together.

The pieces with the Ocs are going to take a bit more time, for the complexity of the composition and backgrounds that I want but I hope to have them ready in two weeks. More or less and it will be a 4 imagen update. In the meantime I will work in other little pictures that the wedding photographers usually shoot. Like they’r hands , the rings, the other guests you all don’t know how much I need to draw the tree soaps in kilts *internal screaming * it’s gonna be beautiful (?)

Once an old art teacher told me that other artist can see how much you love someone, or how meaningful they are for the amount of details and work that they put in their gifts, so if we all looking at this we can tell how much I love this two and glitch of course cuz. This is nothing. Y’all need to sit down if this looks like to much, this is only THE BEGINNING

Hello. Random people and lil beans that make the way to this place,

At this point my account needs to be rebranded from “cod brain riot” to “the annoying artist that keeps drawing @scientificallywrongsoap s characters like a maniac” but well that’s too long and doesn’t fit the space for the change name.

But how can I resist? We have a wedding you honor! They need wedding pictures! and Glitch can’t clone himself to do fake kisses for the cámara, so, we are stuck with my art. You’re welcome or not idk.

And maybe there’s a lot of stories out there with weddings, but this my friends is the first time that I’m actually inspired by one. Like truly inspired and enjoining the process of creating “wedding pictures” . And I have 15 ideas. Clear ideas. I will post it one or two at a time.

All the ideas I have come with reasons and whys. So come with me for a ride. This is the first one and I will explain the details.

First the outfits!

Those are Glitch choose, he only give me simply instructions: traditional attires and no dresses. Swagger needs to be slimed down. And is a funny wedding.

So for Swagger I chose the traditional attire for the Polish Highlanders. It fits him. The original one has a coat and a hat. He will not use those, I also did a bit of a change in the pattern for his trousers. The original patterns are colorful embroidery over black.

The embroidery is a symbol that represents the spring and beginnings. Is a folk symbol called «parzenica» I change it to red, orange and dark green. His colors in the Glitchverse lore. And don’t hunt me is allowed. Actually in polish weddings flowers, bread and salt are important things. So you may see some of those in other illustrations.

For John, my lovely Subject 7-1. The classic kilt it was the only option. Here we (as collective cuz a bunch of lil beans popped up in my drawing live to help me with ideas) chose the red tartan pattern. Because we discover that is the one that the real MacTavish one uses for weddings. And I use for reference a recent picture of one MacTavish for this. But I also modify a bit. Also I DID THAT TARTAN PATTERN BY HAND. Like a mad man.

The bag, is inspired by the one that Glitch has, same for the coat. Is the same “large”, and it doesn’t look in this one but by the end of the weeding John outfit will resemble a bit that video of him in kilt. Cuz I can’t resist the reference.

His outfit also has his lore colors. In the brooch and other details in his coat, it will be visible in the next one you can she the mix of purples that represents him.

For the pose, it was glitch’s idea. Not directly but his words inspired the pose. The lines they said are his. And it looked cute for that.

Now the background. Did you know that the Warzone map of Vondel has a church? They will get married there. But we all know that those maps take inspiration form real sites. So I dig up a bit until I found how Oude Kerk in Amsterdam looks inside.

And in their official site… there’s this picture of the paperwall and just fall. Cuz it was perfect. The background is inspired by that. Not an exact copy cuz if you see the background has the colors of Johnny and Baby Girl in the flowers.

And plus, this is fun fact for artist… if you mix green with purple. Their green and purple. The result color will be pretty similar to the color of the background a dusty blue gray. ahh the color theory my love!

And that’s it, yall have close ups, a vertical one if you want to use it as wallpaper for the phone. Y job here today is done… until the next one.

See ya!
