Okay, Another Drawing Done! This Time It Is Not For Arslan Senki Though...

Okay, another drawing done! This time it is not for Arslan Senki though...

mild TW: mention and discription of a spider.

Meet Julie Andersen, also known as Spider-Jewel!

Andersen, maiden name Parker, was bitten by a radioactive canopy spider whilst working in the garden of her parents home. Besides the typical Spiderman powers she has a very strong web and she can camouflage herself like the canopy spider does. (The stomach of the canopy spider is darker then it's back and when it is under its web, it's hard to tell it apart from the ground. The same goes for it's back and the sky.)

She is, when not Spider-Jewel, a gardener who works part-time for Alchemax and a florist in her own shop that she co-owned with her brother and her late wife.

Now the meats and bits for her ATSV-story.

In her universe her brother is Peter Parker and her mother is May Parker. Peter died when Julie fought against Queen (an inscet-human mutant who can control anyone with insect genes, even those with retrogade DNA pieces). Her mother proceedes to disown her and abandons her only daughter and last child with the grief and guilt of potentionally having killed her own brother.

Her MJ was a boy named Min-Ho Jeong, whom she dated in highschool up until graduating college. They amicably went their seperet ways when they decided for different careers/unis.

Her wife Erica Andersen was her Gwen Stacy. She and their son Ben died when an anomily of Mister Negetive destroyed Julies and her apartment complex. After this Julie retiers from her Spider-man job in her universe. There are other superheros to take over for her (like Sam Wilsions Captian America, etc).

O'Hara and B. Parker recrute Andersen for the Spider Society directly after the death of her wife and son (this was before Miguels mistake).

So... yeah. I believe this is the important stuff out of the way! I probably will not be doing a fanfiction/AU for this character but will post bits and pieces here and there.

Do tell me if you have watched the Spiderverse movies!

And if you have, what number and theme should Julies earth be? (Exc.: Miguel O'Haras Earth number is 2099 and his theme is a futuristic version of our New York called Nueva York). I for the life of me couldn't come up with one. Maybe something with lots of greenery?

The wolf follows.

Egg's Commission Info

Hello, everyone.

I am opening art commissions for the first time in my life! April holidays are coming up, and I hope to work on commissions during that time. I do character art, and I particularly take pride in how I render hair.

Here are some examples of what you can expect from my art:

Lineart

Flat Colors

Full Render

If you want to see more examples, my artwork is on my blog, under the tag #rotten egg's shitty art.

Anyone who wishes for a commission may contact me via tumblr DMs. I do not presently have a PayPal or a Venmo account due to geographical constraints, my channel for payment will be via Payoneer.

Arslan Senki Reread

Some Elam appreciation! Narsus looks like a proud dad.

Arslan is so excited he's literally jumping at the chance to spoil Elam, lol. What a good bean.

Good panel!

Dorks.

Azrael looks so proud. I swear this bird understands it's being praised 😭

It's the reason Kishward couldn't/didn't choose to come with Arslan, after all. The conflict of loyalty/duty. Daryun does realize that.

Makes me wonder why Narsus chose to go with Arslan's wishes here. What did he seek to gain?

Zaravant: *all puffed up and excited for the honor*

Jimsa: ...weirdo.

Things I liked here:

Merlaine standing where everyone else is kneeling

The peeps leaning back to stare.

Arslan's lil “please?”

Merlaine folding immediately (so much for your tough act, boy)

Like,

Not even a “fine, I'll do it” or “sure” he says “As you wish.” politely? His speech bubble is shaky? Adorable.

Am I reading too much into it because it's my ship? Possibly, but I don't care. I like this ship, therefore I will overanalyze it.

Thinking about the Turanian invasion (the one in the canon era, not the one that's looming over the horizon in the fic rn) and Kishward (and Bahman?) imploring lords around the country to omg go and help Team Gorgan PLEASE and thinking about who'd show up... I think Lushan would. He just has that air about him— I wonder if Tus and Zaravant would, and if so, what would prompt them...

Meanwhile Gorgan is chaos.

(also thinking a lot about Ranna and Alfarīd, help me)

Ooh, some logistics at play here! Since this is AU based I'm not sure how much advance warning they have of the Turanian army's approach but from the sounds of it in this scenario the border has already been breeched and Team Gorgan are attempting to hold them up which... I don't envy them the task but it sure sounds like it'll be exciting to read about.

I don't know what Bahman's mental state is like here but if he's troubled by anything like he is in canon then I imagine Kishward may take the lead... However, Bahman still has some steel in him and it's not unbelievable to think that Gorgan's need for reinforcements would galvanise him into action (though perhaps he's more likely to eventually surprise everyone by stepping forward to lead troops to bolster the defences himself rather than taking the lead with initially reaching out to various lords etc, which is a task I imagine would fall to Kishward while Bahman is still beset by apathy and other worries).

I assume they're sending messages to ask for reinforcements? That makes it even harder to apply pressure on reluctant lords, so they're probably aware of who they can likely count on and who they can't (Andragoras may have been able to essentially strong-arm the shahrdaran but many of them, like Hodir, would be content to sit and wait and see how things play out in his absence, especially if their own territory is not under threat.)

It's a tricky one because it's Prince Arslan's presence and proclamations that draw the various lords and their troops to Peshawar. It's hard to say exactly how many would come otherwise. I feel as though Zaravant would, he evidently feels a sense of duty towards his country and would put himself forward to represent Oxus as he does in canon. The fact that the Marzbans in Peshawar are trying to organise further defense of the border and Pars's lands would likely be enough for him. That might be a nice surprise for Kishward and Bahman who may have assumed nobody from Oxus would come. Tus would go too, probably. He has a garrison of men who would be of great help.

Lushan likewise would help if he could, even if he's not shown leading troops on the battlefield himself he's still had a military education and would presumably have troops available to him. One thing to consider though is where everyone is coming from and how much time they have (as in, how fast do they need to get to Peshawar and then on to Gorgan in order to be of real help?). This is a large invasion and the Turanians probably have very good troop mobility, I don't know how long Gorgan could hold them before they break through or bypass their defences and beseige Peshawar itself instead. Some characters might have some debate about whether it's worth leaving their lands or whether it would be better to sit tight and wait, especially as Andragoras's fate is unknown. There's likely no precedent for what to do when the Shah is missing.

I don't know how helpful these ramblings will be since a lot depends on the specifics of your AU! Happy to talk about it more (though I won't be online again now until later or maybe tomorrow).

i've drawn a lot of iwa-chans over the years but i think this is my favorite one yet 😌

(at long last, here's my full piece for @iwaoiweddingzine!! leftover sales are open for another week if you wanna get your hands on this beautiful zine!)
