“Give Me Some Time, Let Me Learn How To Speak”

first of all, obviously he prefers to be a passenger princess. he is not driving people around all the time, and they don’t even want him to. not wanting to be treated like a baby means he gets his license and has basic autonomy, but will still abhors unnecessary hassle and driving is the most hassle-y hassle there ever was. not to mention the constant split second decision making and aggressive drivers. nightmare!

will would give the right of way to absolutely everybody on the road. he would let everyone else go first at a 4-way stop even if he got there first and they’d all be like what the hell is that guy doing. parking lots fear him. his first accident is in a parking lot and not even his fault but he just assumes it is and takes the blame. he would HATE merging and double check so many times before doing it that sometimes he’d miss his window. he would sweat like crazy getting onto the city interstate and always take the back way.

Finally got around to designing the Proto-Party; a group of childhood friends broken by fear and trauma.

I have a shit ton of lore to share about the Proto-Party, but I'm going to wait and do that for another post because I want to have more drawings to accompany it. So for now I'll just share these official designs.

The Proto-Party is meant to represent a 60s version of the Party we know, but in a scenario where they fail to save their most vulnerable person from a tragic fate. Henry's backstory is roughly the same as it was in s4, but this time much darker and better tied into the Upside Down. (More details here)

When the Party learns about Henry's past and their parents/Scott and Bob's involvement, it serves as a cautionary tale for them to not let the Mind Flayer get between them. (Especially between Mike and Will, as Henry let his guilt and shame consume him, so he did not get his love interest...psst take a guess of who that might've been)

ANYWAY I promise to share more of this in the near future. Sorry that my art's been all over the place lately, but I'm doing my best to focus on projects one at a time.

Fist my bump!
