Twisted Shore - Tumblr Posts
An enemy in my comic in planning called, Twisted Shore.
At the moment, this boss is called Ceiling Boss, because he comes from the ceiling. But he will get a better name when it comes to the point in the story where he shows up.
But in reality, he is representative of the MC’s memory of her father, who was a drunkard and an abuser.
In monster form, he is an obese, 9 armed monstrous drunkard thing that has other smaller forms in the beginning of the comic, but his full form is this.
He is a weird fat, belchy, violently drunk, 9 armed, terror that hangs from the bar’s ceiling.
When he is not attacking and being violent, he is grabbing for any alcohol and beer that he can get his hands on and chugging them.
I am presently working on designing the boss, presently called Ceiling Boss. (Name is placeholder) He is representative of the MC's father, who was a drunkard and an abuser. The monster is a weird fat, drunk, four armed, terror that hangs from the bar's ceiling. When he is not attacking and being violent, he is grabbing for any alcohol and beer he can get his hands on and chugging them.
Redo of Ceiling Boss. This time, i did him in Krita!
I really like this one, and it is much better than the one i did in Paint Tool Sai.
True, he doesnt have a background, but he will and i will color him.
Expect two versions.
1. Colored in Paint Tool Sai
2. Colored in Krita. This one will take longer because it is a new program and i am exploring the brushes. I am going to try to get a very realistic look to the color and details.
One of the major villains in Twisted Shore!
How he is connected to the MAIN villain, i wont say for spoilery reasons.
He is called The Ringleader/Bloodsucking Blobfish.
Or face sucking, but that just sounds wrong.
He is a kissy evil ass, but due to his large/tall size and height, he often smothers/suffocates those who he kisses. And because of this, he usually uses it as punishments for those who wrong him.... usually if they’re female. If they’re male, he usually siccs his minions, his circus crew, on them...
Yes, this drawing needs some touchups, but i am just glad i got his design down. This isnt even his boss form.
I used a lot of time trying to figure out his face/head shape, all i knew was that i wanted him to have big lips, large disproportioned overweight figure, small legs, (although i might need to make them smaller), and a prosthetic leg that is disturbing.
The prosthetic leg is that of an insect, and weirdly acts as if it is actually a part of his body... its not. But it can move on its own without being attached to his body...
ew
His circus crew include:
The snake charmer
The Contortionist
The trapeze artist
The twins
The melting man - (twisted version of the firebreather/swallower)
Muscleman/strongman
The Puppeteer
The Melting Man from The Ringleader’s circus crew!
He is representative of the MC’s memory of seeing the aftermath of the fire swallower’s failed act while she was leaving the circus as a child.
And yes, the lower right arm is melting away from each other in halves.
Here is the muscleman in Twisted Shore!
He is representative of MC’s grandfather, who is always bragging about his younger years, claiming that he was a strongman. Still not sure if he was, or is just bragging. Or maybe he is so old that he has an illusion of being one...
Her grandfather, at present, is so weak that he needs everyone else to take care of him. :(
The “porthole” in his chest, is actually showing the inside of his muscle structure.
The Squid Enemy from Twisted Shore.
Yes, it is more like a mix of Manta ray, crab, and squid, but i am naming it entirely off of the tentacles.
He is part of the zoo section of the story
The Vulture, would look better in the final coloring and shading. Might also change the stance.
Its a fusion of one of the early forms of Dread Drunk and the parrot. Hence the beak in the weird mass of flesh. Yes, that mass around his back and his shoulders is flesh, not feathers.
The Snake Charmer, probably the least disturbing visually monster in the world of Twisted Shore, but the most personality wise ANNOYING!
He represents MC’s uncle, who stupidly thinks that her pet guinnie pigs are food for his pet snakes that he always brings with him when he visits.
He has been told multiple times to not do so, but he is so ignorant that he thinks that they are jokes.
The gullet in his chest are full of digested guinnie pigs.
His head is a mix of snake and snake charmer flute.
A Drawtober piece i did yesterday for Dread Drunk and the MC, (his daughter).
The Dread Drunk feeds off of and uses MC’s disliking of her mother and siblings to his advantage, even though, by that time, the MC has seen that she HAS misunderstood some of her family members, (other than her uncle, who was an asshole), tries to convince her that he is the only one who loved her, and that her mother threw him out and tried so hard to get back into the family.
He claims that the reason why he got drunk was due to the depression of not being let back into the family.
This is, in fact, NOT true. He is a narcissist, and an evil bastard. Tricky. Although he might still have some smidgen of love for her, as he does sometimes protect her from certain actions of the main villain… although that might also mean that he has his own plans which could contradict some of the main villain’s…
This is one of the scenes where he is trying to persuade the MC that he is the only one who loves and cares for her. While still being drunk about weird about it.
And the reason for the digital bits in the dialogue? I didn't center the picture in my phone correctly, and only noticed it after transferring it.
If you can’t read what it says, it says:
“Oh, Butterscotch, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, you can tell me. Here, I know, why don’t you sit down and have a drink? You’ll feel better afterwards, peanut butter.” “Why do you resist me? Trust in me, [nickname], I just want to help you unwind.”
The issue is not her age, she is of age, she can drink, but you do not want to drink any kind of alcohol that this man offers, even if he is genuinely trying to be nice to you.
If you are not his daughter, if he offers it to you, just run... if you can.
