In this, I'll be talking about Cirque du Minuit, my horror/fantasy comic.
Before I get into the description I just wanted to talk about CdM a bit and pretty much how it differs from my other projects.
CdM started as a stupid meaningless comic about a clown girl named Delilah who witnesses the murder of a priest at the hands of a 'Collector' named Jacques. I wasn't drawing it to go anywhere, it was actually so I could test out how to put comics together but the more I drew stuff for it, the more attached I became to the characters and the limitlessness of their story.
That was in 2010. >__>;;
Sooo as you may know, some time has passed since then.
But as a result the circus grew and its become this amazingly huge thing now. Like legit, I'm so excited to start putting it together because I easily believe its the best thing I've ever come up with...
Descript:
CdM initially takes place in a small Italian based island, île de minuit, where the main, Delilah, has lived her whole life. It's Delilah's dream to one day become the lead clown of the Cirque du Minuit, the grand circus that their small island is famous for. But her dream seems impossible as the circus won't have a female clown.
One afternoon, after being turned down by the Cirque yet again, Delilah heads home feeling maybe its time to hang up her red nose and tutu until she witnesses an odd scene taking place between a dark young man and a priest. After eavesdropping for a bit, Delilah learns she can have her any wish granted by The Master, the head of a mysterious group that plague the island called 'Collectors'.
On an impulse, Delilah confronts the Collector she'd been watching (Jacques) and asks to have her wish granted. He declines, saying only its not something 'little girls' should get mixed up in and goes to take his leave.
Delilah follows him and ends up in the Collection, a strange space where Collectors and the Master live. As it is every Collectors duty to see humans safely through the Collection, Jacques begrudgingly accepts the task of seeing Delilah to the Master to have her wish granted and their journey begins.
Literally, that description is vague as hell and there is sooooo much more to even the first parts than that, but I don't want to give anything away.
I'm really really excited by this and I cannot wait to start on the comic because I seriously love this project from the depths of my heart.
My only concern really is that my artistic skills aren't good enough to convey all the really cool stuff I want to do with this.

More of The Radium
Line art of The Radium and his Scarlet Battalion I did a few months ago. I colored it a loong time ago and then lost the whole file and haven't had the heart to touch it since. Figured I'd at least post it some where, I was pretty proud of it at the time.
The Radium
I used water color on this instead of markers and I was so completely proud of it. Of course then my ego tanked when I submitted it to Deviantart and it got like no response. Probably won't get any. This is what happens when I try.

Abnormalities Talk
So I've been distracting from seriously working Fly Girl by some random oc's I came up with the other day, The Abnormalities. Especially today since I made two new kiddo's to join in their very loosely put together world.
I don't even know what I'm going for with them, it's like...Ugh.
But the newbys are Olivia Todd and Simon Von Mitternacht who are a ghastly pair. Simon being a horrible creature thing and Olivia a teen murderess and all.
Though, and this is weird for me, they're antagonists to The Abnormalities...
I guess I should explain a little about it. The story follows three freaks of the earth and their misadventures. Chomps, Peeps, and Gams.
Chomps is a 23 year old former con artist whose got an eccentric personality and a crazy amount of large sharp jagged teeth. Peeps is a 16 year old misfit with a grotesquely huge right eye. He was orphaned at a young age ( he refuses to go into detail about when and what happened) and has been his towns cast off ever since. Gams is a 19 year old runaway who can't stand her home town on account that everyone makes fun of her because she's 7 and half feet tall and could out do even the most nimble acrobat.
They all get together some way or another and Chomps is their unofficial leader. He's decided that they're going to gather creeps and weirdos from all over and make their very own Freak Show because as far as he's concerned if they're going to be judged and persecuted for being 'abnormal' they might as well make some cash while they're at it.
At some point in their journey for more troupe members, they meet Olivia who has just had a sticky fight with her dearest friend, Simon, and left his care. Olivia is fascinated by the trios life style and wants to join the ranks of their freak show but is denied by Chomps who believes she is much too normal looking to be among the strange.
Unfortunately for the three, Olivia is a quite brutal murderess with a bad temper. She feels Chomps has insulted her extremely and attacks him viciously. Peeps and Gams effectively save their friend in the end and the trio escape Olivia and her demented little town; Leaving the teen to sulk and fester in anger that she was not only 'insulted' but denied her kill. She runs home to her friend Simon (who had been watching her in secret the whole time) and tells him about how poorly she was mistreated by people that should of understood her best. The two then decide to make their new game finding and killing The Abnormalities.
. 3 . I believe this is the first time I've made antagonists and decided straight out that's what they were going to be. Because mostly its just that they were side characters that I eventually made villains. But this pair are goodness to gracious straight out bad guys that I never had any intention making good. They're, like the other three, alot of fun.
I have to do something with this now because it's just so fun.

Fan art dribbling...
Started inking 'Lights' today.
Its a fan art pic of Campara von Pyre and Pendulum Tin from Decembersville, based off my favorite chapter.
I forget what number it is but it's the one when Campy finally realizes that the Sun Conjurer that she and her brothers threw to the Chopping Place (a really horrible prison) awhile back and not before killing his whole family (I know for sure one of his sisters is alive, I don't know about the others) is Tin. Tin is practically one of the first people she's ever somewhat cared about probably ever. It's been a few months since I read the chapter so it's kind of fuzzy, don't hold me to that.
But pretty much, she gets thrown into this tornado of torn up feels. Like she can't understand why Tin was so nice to her after what her family did to him and she's extremely guilty because well... She loves Tin. I don't think it's officially in a 'Romantic' sense, cause for awhile I was pretty sure they were headin' down that road and then the creator said something on tumblr about how she doesn't understand why everyones just assuming they're together and while it makes me sulky, I like to stick with what's canon over my fan girlisms. But I want to think she does love him. If anything, as someone she very much so cares about.
It's just like this moment of clarity for her, where she suddenly realizes she has to take responsibility for her actions and inaction's of the past toward her town because they've resulted in many people getting hurt. People like Tin.
I hated seeing poor Campara get jostled around and put down by the Rebels cause she's my favorite character. And though she sorta deserved it, I still wanted to smack Wonka and the others upside the head for making her cry.
But she did deserve a wake up call. ....Still wanna smack Wonka. I think I'll draw it. Yep. I'm gonna draw it.
But 'Lights' was sort of my way of showing off Campara's torn feels toward Tin. I think it's looks awesome so far you know except for the face that Campy looks like a fucking princess.
(sobs) I didn't catch it until it was too late! I made her look like a princess! I hate it when I do stupid fuck ups like that...
Eh. Whatever. I'll probably finish that in a couple days though : )
Yay, first Decembersville rant on mah blog! There will probably be more...
