Saw someone do high-contrast photobashing + redrawing to recreate their OCs not too long ago and knew I had to do the same for my blorbos. Behold... Candid CyLynn at a partyπŸ“Έ

Gage, Miel, and Kit sitting at a table in front of a window, cerebrating the new year. the table is long with a deep blue cloth, and the color scheme is primarily blue, purple, and muted red.

Gage is a short cis man with loose, messy black curls, wearing a blue hoodie with his logo on it and eating a pack of blueberry muffins, with an empty shot glass and a red solo cup filled with cider to the side. he is joyful, his arm is around miel with his other fist in the air as he shouts β€œwe’ve got this guys!” 

miel is a taller trans guy with long, straight black hair in a half bun, wearing a red christmas sweater with chocolate stains on his fingers and lips and a soft smile. his plate features a variety of foods which he’s trying in small amounts. he remains quiet, hunched over, but happy. no alcohol for miel! his red solo cup has juice.

kit is a feminine cis man (self-identified femboy), slightly taller than miel, sitting with decent posture. he has split-dyed hair (natural blond on the right and black on the left) and is wearing in a black tank with a fishnet shirt beneath. his plate is mostly untouched fruits and veggies, with two empty shot glasses. he is upright and raising a toast with his cider cup and a gleeful expression. β€œTo new beginnings!”

You do not become a world builder by reading everything everyone else has to say about world building. You do it by the actual act of creating, the continuous and dedicated practice of the skill. You fail, you learn, you create again. This is what makes you a world builder.

a panoramic environment illustration featuring Gage and Drew's bedroom in their run-down apartment. The apartment is cluttered with everything from trash to barbells to laundry to blankets to beer and cigarettes to discarded needles to a gun and a stolen dead end sign. in the foreground are boxes, bottles, and a cockroach looking on. in the right of the image, Gage lies on a mattress on the floor, small and curled in the fetal position, facing away from the camera. he is wearing black shorts with mismatched socks, but he is shirtless, frail, and his back bears scars from lashings.

i'm very glad you think so, it's super important to me to depict addiction in a real and non-sensational way. it's bleak, it's not an explosion or a party, in those words it's defeat and in ryder's case, not being able to make it to the evening before he needed out ;;

an illustration in pink, purple, and blue, featuring Kit on a hotel bed. Kit has split-dyed hair (natural blond on his right, black on his left) and is very thin and pale with delicate features, covered in small scars such as cigarette burns and fresh rope marks and bruises. He is wearing a pentagram harness and black panties, and he is smoking a cigarette. surrounding him are used condoms, a stack of bills, a lighter, and a rope. a text bubble in a deep magenta reads "I hate this."

A silent comic featuring Ryder in a ketamine relapse with the curtains drawn. The background lineart is white on dark values. curtains, walls, and floor pure black with a sliver of white peeking through the curtains. The color grading is a sickly yellow with muted greens and violets, the mundanity and sickness of this cycle.

Ryder is a tall, toned man with light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and long, thick straight black hair in a wrecked bun, lots of flyaways and loose hairs. He has multiple facial piercings and is wearing a black t-shirt, black boxer briefs, and gray jeans with ripped knees. His dark circles are pronounced and he has small marks on his face and neck.

Panel 1: a low table with a shot glass (remnants of liquid in it), a baggie of white powder, a syringe cap, and a bottle of Percocet.

Panel 2: Pure black curtains and wall with light lineart, showing the curtains drawn with light shining between the small opening.

Panel 3: Ryder is sitting on the edge of his couch, more of his trashed apartment visible. He is injected himself intramuscularly with ketamine, holding his syringe with one hand and plunging with the other. His expression is relatively flat, but slightly furrowed β€” the burn of ketamine.

Panel 4: a close up of Ryder's thigh, smearing the blood and droplet of fluid with his thumb after removing the needle, simply dropping it to the ground with his other hand as his body appears heavier.

Panel 5: Ryder slumped against the front of the couch with his legs out in front of him, leaning back with arms heavy on either side of him. His expression is fading, with a hint of melancholy as the regret hits before the drug.

Panel 6: A close up  on Ryder's face in a profile view, his head tipped back and his expression gone, lips parted, eyes glazed and dark circles prominent.

the background is layered with hatching, distortion, and cloud effects layered into a subtle rough background. in the bottom right corner is the artist's signature, KNAPPEN.

Jayce licks Viktor’s nape while they're having a sexual intercourse. Viktor is moaning, indicating he's close to orgasm. I hc this as an unusual occurrence which is why Jayce gives a small word of praise about it

a one-page comic in a bruise-like color gradient. panel one featuring gage, a thin young man with curly black hair, brown skin, light eyes, and scars, is eating ice cream from a cup. a friend off-screen asks "Hey gage, where'd you get that scar on your lip?"

it cuts to white lineart on pure black hatching: panel 2 shows the hands and torso of a large and unhygienic man holding a box cutter directly to the camera, the knife glinting. panel 2 show's gage's eyes as a young boy, crying with a bloody a nose and dark circles.

the final panel features gage with a dulled expression, the spoonful of ice cream in his mouth as he responds: "It's a stupid story." the friend off-screen asks "What, you faceplant or something?" Gage responds "Something like that."

a four panel comic in hospital blue. Aaron is a tall, lean trans man with pale skin, short blond hair and light bangs, in a short messy shag. He has one brown eye and one eye enucleated with stitched corners (both sides from knife slash), with healing scars and bruises on his arms and face. He has a bulk bandaged hand (each finger is wrapped for a full surface burn). He has an IV in his right arm, and bandages on his chest and shoulder from minor operations. 

the first panel is a close up of the left side of Aaron's face, his eye enucleated and his scars and deep bruises on their way to healing, but still present. his expression is flat, solemn. 

the second panel is a close up of Aaron's left hand limp in his lap, completely bandaged, fingers and all. This is from his burn wounds.

the third panel is a close up of the IV in his arm, disconnected from fluids but a constant presence.

the final panel is a view of Aaron from overhead, his shoulders and up. He is looking slightly off-camera, his expression flat and and exhausted.

the inner monologue is placed over the panels: 

"It's been a short while since we burned everything down, and I don't know where you are. The pain is unlike anything i've felt in my life, and every day I relive that night. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Because if you're safe and being cared for, everything will have been worth it."
