Soi Fon and random sketchs.

I've been doing a lot of sketches lately, so I'm going to try to get into the habit of showing some that I think aren't that bad. They are very random things, there are studies of facial expression and gestures and anatomy, as well as some ideas for future stories.

As for the bleach drawing, I've become a little obsessed with Soi Fon recently. I really like her bankai, a giant fucking missile, it's so simple and cool! I don't have any bleach stories planned at the moment, but maybe I'll do slave designs for other characters too, like Unohana and Matsumoto, or maybe Rukia and Yoruichi. I hope you like it, and as always, thanks for your support!

I'm sure whatever you decide, it'll turn out great. All the best with your next work :D

Regarding the guild leader, I haven't started developing him yet. I don't know if he will be a man, a woman, a monster, a being that no one has ever seen, only heard about, just a puppet of the receptionist... Could be anything really. Also the guild itself, I'm talking about the building, the rooms, the gathering hall, the mission board, all of this I still need to draw.

Leo Yoyoro

Thank you! <3

Leo Yoyoro

ahh I see. well either way amazing work.

We're actually going to get "A Day In The Life Of" episode. Sweet. Also, is the Guild Leader in cahoots with the Receptionist? Or are they also being played along by her? Yeah makes sense, having short one-offs sounds refreshing after a real long plot. Pretty much fits with your monster of the week idea too.

Max

It's not that she's scheaming 24/7, it's that this is her way of life, inside and outside of work. In fact, one of the stories I'm planning for her is about what she does when she's not working, basically on her day off, showing a little of the things she has at home and the type of influence she has in the guild. Also something I forgot to mention in the last message. Another reason why I don't want to have something like a main villain is because I want to do some short stories too, maybe 1-4 pages long, showing just a few key moments of what we assume would be a bigger story, like for example an adventurer being caught by a spike trap, or being attacked by a monster when she ended up isolating herself from the group. Kind of random things that don't necessarily depend on the influence of a greater evil. Also yeah I should do some sketches showing details in their gear and outfit, that would help me a lot more in drawing them in the future. I need to prioritize this idea in the near future.

Leo Yoyoro

That's fair. She's got her own life to live too I'm assuming, she can't possibly be scheming 24/7..........unless :0 To learn and understand the motivations of a character will always be the best part of a story for any reader. I'm glad you plan on fleshing her out more. I shall now await for whatever comeuppance she will face when she eventually slips up. Oooooh, I look forward to that sketch. Seeing a breakdown of the different equipment and clothes each adventurer possesses soothes my monkey loot brain XD

Max

She won't be involved in EVERY story. I think this would end up limiting the story possibilities later, so bad things will continue to happen even without her involvement. She has no participation in the events with False Hydra, I don't see how she would have that ability, and eventually even she is not immune from having some bad endings herself. Maybe one of her schemes going wrong? I don't think of her as "the main villain", just the villain I'm currently developing atm, so she's getting a lot of attention. But when she is actually involved in sabotaging a quest for an adventurer, I still haven't decided whether she would do it just for the satisfaction (cuz she is quite sexually attracted to the feeling), or because she would always have something to gain, or perhaps a little of both. I plan on getting her to have contacts in the underworld, perhaps with other more powerful sorcerers or slave traders, so she can sell them some adventure from time to time too, as well as become someone that bad people would like to have as a friend, since she has such an influential position within the guild. As for your question about the cleric, that accessory is not exactly a gatherbelt, but yeah it is part of her underwear. Maybe I'll do sketches that make this clearer later, because I feel like this is not very clear on the story.

Leo Yoyoro

Huh, I can see that she's not a very responsible psychopath if she's willing to let her toys get lost :0 Now I'm curious as to how the quest for the False Hydra came in. If no one can even remember its existence, how did anyone know there was trouble there? Did the receptionist just assume that it was a dangerous creature that the locals couldn't identify? Poor Cleric :(. Speaking about the Cleric I've been wondering for a while now, are the circular accessories around her hips part of her underwear or is it just the underwear itself? Like are they garter belts or something?

Max

Not specifically just with Cleric. She is a psychopath who sees all the adventurers in the guild as toys in her toy box. Cleric is just easier to be bullied XD. Eventually I should have more sketches of her targeting other adventurers too. And yes, she is without a doubt the type who monologues, even when alone. One of the things she loves to do is send adventurers on quests that she knows, or that she's made sure that, they won't return from. I think that this helps to set up a lot of possible storys later on.

Leo Yoyoro

I see what you mean. A character that's slightly weak but extremely cunning and knows when to strike definitely sounds more interesting than a villain who just wins by sheer force. HAHAHA XD!!! Yeah, she does give off the vibes of someone who would monologue to themselves like Patrick Bateman. So does she have some kind of beef or quarrel with the Cleric? Because she looks pretty pissed in "Sketch 2".

Max

I haven't decided yet to be honest. I'm thinking it would be more interesting if she wasn't so powerful. She will probably rely more on magical artifacts and plans than spells to overpower someone. In my head it would be a kind of weakened version of John Constantine mixed with Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. She is very friendly with the rest of the adventurers, but it's all an act, and she waits for the right moment to act.

Leo Yoyoro

Looking forward to it. So can she wield magic? Does she have the ability to suck the brain matter out of people?

Max

Glad you like it! Yeah she is the recepcionist. I will make a proper drawing introducing her eventually, but im still not satisfyed with her design just yet.

Leo Yoyoro

Oooooh great sketches, bleach in particular gave me some real nostalgia. Would love to see more of these in the future, and the expressions are simply divine. That dominatrix lady with glasses is pretty cool. Is she the Guild Receptionist?

Max

You don't need to pay more for a question my brother XD. Yeah some of them will be parts of future stories. Maybe not the exact same scene or with the same characters, but yes. The character that appears most in the sketches, the lady with glasses who plays the "dominatrix" role, is supposed to be a recurring villain from the adventurers' stories. But if you're asking about the bleach drawings, no, I don't have anything planned for them at the moment.

Leo Yoyoro

PLEASE tell me that these are going to be parts to longer comics. I’ll actually pay more if I need to.
