some frames I drew for a boat boys animatic that never was

I’m really proud of how these two specifically came out. The second one is a how they died each time in double life and the first is just em dancing.

edit: I also forgot this one:

Joel was there two but I accidentally deleted the layer I drew him on

@insomnya777 so Nya I hear you’re writing a boat boys Halloween fic?

Idk why they are in the woods lol I just kinda started doodling by the time I got to the background. Also I tried to perspective, that is why we have tiny Etho, except he’s just farther away, so not tiny. Honestly, it was a struggle trying to get it looking like Etho dressing up as Kakashi and not just. You know. Kakashi. I think the makeup for the scar smeared on his mask is a nice touch. I also left his glasses from my design on, because I, too, know the pains of trying to cosplay in glasses. Anyway, all this is to say… I love your writing Nya and I can’t wait to read the fic rahhhh!

more mtg au stuff!!!!! I was thinking about what everyone would look like if I put them on a different plane than I originally intended (for non-magic-players: plane refers to, like, a plane of existence. Every plane in the magic the gathering multiverse is like it’s own little world with stories and characters and completely different setting. It’s pretty rad) and I’ve been listened to the soundtrack for the streets of New Capenna non-stop recently so I decided everyone needed to join the various demon mafia. Because I’m just. Like that. I suppose.

This is Joel’s design, and it’s the one finished piece I have, because of course. His design is inspired by anhelo, and that’s halo on his face, which is technically-the-blood-of-angels but we don’t talk about that.

This one’s Etho and it isn’t finished but I just got bored working on it honestly.

this is scar and gem. It says join us because that the song from the soundtrack that fits them. Also they want to recruit you to their demon mafia gang family thing.

in this version of the au (which I’m not sure if it counts as it’s own separate au or not lol) I currently have figured out Joel, Tango, Grian Pearl, Martyn, Scott, Etho, Cleo, Scar, and Gem

summary of the lore of Capenna below the cut unless it cuts me off earlier because I’m too rambly lol

the phyrexians, a race of machine monsters bent on conquering the multiverse that would take several hours to properly summarize the lore of so let’s just say they are bad, are attacking the plane of Capenna, so the arch-angels and arch-demons, fearing destruction, team up to create the city of New Capenna (wow guys such a creative name) with the help of the dragon Ziatora. The population of old Capenna (as in, everyone living on Capenna) journeys to the new city, those who make it onto the elevators surviving and the rest locked out as the city is sealed against phyrexians, left to die. Thus, the entire population of the plane now is in New Capenna. However, the demons and angels who build the city are worried because all it would take is for one phyrexian to make it into the city for it too infect everyone else. The demons took note of how the mere presence of the angels drove of the mechanical army, so they decided to betray the angels and capture them to turn them into a barrier surrounding the city. Because they were evenly matched in power, the demons had to sacrifice themselves to capture the angels, so they signed a contract with five powerful beings as their successors, making the individuals more powerful but also amplifying their vices, to lead the city in their stead. They then launched the attack, imprisoning the angels before vanishing, never to be seen again. The angels are trapped at various points along the edge of the city to form a barrier against the phyrexians. A side affects of this imprisonment sees the angels physical bodies being slowly converted into halo, the fuel of the new age. It makes magical spells more powerful, aids in teleportation, is used as currency, and…I’m not gonna lie guys, it’s drugs. It’s magical angel blood drugs. That is the function it serves. Moving on! The five beings who signed the contracts with the arch-demons were the dragon Ziatora (same one who helped build the city), the sphinx Raffine, the cat demon Jetmir, the vampire Anhelo, and the bird demon Falco Spara. The five found what are essentially demon mafia families. Ziatora runs the Riveteers, the hardworking destructive family, where every member needs to constantly prove their worth. The Riveteers have the largest stockpile of Halo because they helped build the city. Raffine runs the Obscura, mystical fortune tellers and prophets. They can predict the future and stuff. Jetmir runs the Cabaretti, the party-ers of New Capenna. They run the festivals and restaurants and do all the fun stuff. Also chef Rocco appreciation enby icon cabaretti chef and fabulous all around. anhelo runs the Maestros, the elite assassins of New Capenna. A bunch of them are also vampires so they’ve got this whole immortality thing going for them. They are also art collectors. Because you gotta have hobbies, ig. Falco Spara runs the Brokers, a mafia family of demonic lawyers. Yayyyy!/sarc. Anyway because this is getting long I’ll skip ahead so when the last free angel in the city dies that releases the arch-angels, but the families and the angels are forced to temporarily cooperate to fend off the phrexian invasion as they finally manage to infiltrate the city with the release of the angels. Yada yada yada, a bunch of stuff gets destroyed, a bunch of people die, and then they win and the angels go and kill the remaining demons as revenge. Hurrah, we made it! That was your super quick crash course on the history of New Capenna!

Another banger! The art is so good!!! It’s so goooooooooooddd! Ahhhhh! Words of affirmation go here! I am actually addicted to this concept.

Also thank you for educating us on the teachings of the book of Jeremy, all hail Jeremy we are not a cult amen.

on further results, gem discovered this happens whenever lizzie,eefo jimmy or iskall look at him btw👍

fellow jeremy - @iandoubt ,as a phd holder in the religous studies of jeremyism, graduated from Shrek university, i believe this song is an ancient hymn that was lost in the translations of the book of jeremy following the great larry scandal.

uhh but im not very good at analaysing songs unfortunately lol i hope ull accept my sketch instead!! and tysm for the ask and the compliments!!! i really liked the concept of that one, so im glad u like it too!!! i have another idea in me head for lizzie, that this gave me the motivation to make lol

When the boat boys turned red, Joel “green stripe” smallishbeans probably dyed his hair with ease, but Etho might’ve needed a little help. I mean, when you die and come back from the dead as evil murderers, you’ve got to get your makeover just right before you go back and kill everyone!

Someone should write a fic about this where they have to stand really close to each other for Joel to dye Ethos hair properly and they’re weird and gay about it. <- whoa who said that.

these guys. (From falcon earring’s boat boys zombie apocalypse au)

Thank you @falconearring, your comic was the first time I had ever seen a fan comic, and I spent an unjustified amount of time last year reading and rereading it. I never would have had the courage to even make fanart without it. I love the story and the art, and I aspire to make comics like you. Your art taught me a lot, and I still am in awe of the way you tell such a cohesive and immersive story.

(I blame you for my boat boys brain rot /j)
