i want my art style to be five million things at once its tearing me APART

#gonna act all shocked when my art style has shifted again #why can't i be both a lineart fiend AND a painting god why do my efforts culminate to a lineart lean #i just want juicy textures AND to render with the color understanding of a working industry professional #color is so hard for MEEEEEEE

Hi!!

Love being here you know, love the zombies.

I haesme suggestions for more zombie/infection research!!

28 Days/Weeks Later (movie): really clearly shows the kind of ruin a society can fall into, and also has interesting traits for their infected!!

Contagion - REALLY GOOD VIRUS MOVIE. It's not a zombie movie, however it has a lot of science, which is useful when inventing a virus.

Zombieland - establishes really good rules and ideas. The protagonist (Columbus) reminds me a lot of Mike (loser)

Train To Busan - super interesting zombie movie, really cool concept, and great emotional development. Character study is so easy and cool for that movie too.

Thought I'd give some suggestions! I love zombie media and I'm more than happy do help LITERALLY at all!!! Zombies are my hyperfixation :D

Have fun!!!

-🪼 (jellyfish anon)

hey there jellyfish anon!!

thanks for the suggestions :) i've actually watched all of these before HELP - contagion is definitely my fave of the four though! i remember first watching it when i was like 15-ish because my dad said i'd enjoy it! since then, i've probably watched it like... 5+ times LMAO

it's been a hot minute since i've watched the 28 days series and zombieland so i may revisit them some time! train to busan i actually recently rewatched with a couple of friends but we were a little too emotionally distraught (lol)

#contagion or the talented mr ripley pick your poison #<- iykyk but the whiplash of seeing the cast in talented mr ripley when i watched for the first time was funny #ask #jellyfish anon

mad max, the party's zoomer - apoc au character details under the cut!

---

max's role in the party:

a runner - fast and quiet, tends to be the one who makes out with the most supplies

mechanic - knows best about cars and is one of the party's designated drivers (the other being mike)

medic - not as skilled with plants and medicine like will, but is good with first aid and physical treatment!

thief - who the party sends out if they need to "borrow" from other groups (second nature to her)

skills + hobbies:

incredible with melee weapons and hand-to-hand combat -> everything she knows was taught to her by billy

decent shot, but prefers using melee way more!

stealthy, like a ninja - her and el are the quietest in the party! max's fighting style is much more brawler-like despite this

good with card games (likes poker, speed and BS) -> likes to play them with the party a lot, but in particular with dustin and lucas

skateboards whenever she can -> her favorite thing to do next to driving!

really loves listening to music (fave artists are madonna, taylor swift and destiny's child) -> likes having el or will in shotgun so they can listen together!

quirks / fun facts:

whenever dustin goes to bed, max takes his current handheld and tries to beat his high score on whatever retro game he's currently playing (dustin does not know its max who's actively beating his ass on dig dug and tetris)

she took billy's jacket and baseball bat and made them her own - very complicated relationship with him and her upbringing with her stepbro made her very skeptical and suspicious of others (especially the party when she first met them)

when she steals things, she tries to keep the party in mind when grabbing extra :')

--- other notes: ladies and gentlemen, our newest addition - maxine! i'll admit, the two characters i think i'm most shoddy on for their characterizations are dustin and max. since max's story in my au is so heavily tied to her issues with trusting people again (specifically men) and family, i'm scared that it will make her character intrinsically tied to relationships instead of having her own character. i'll try my very best for it not to be that way, of course!

for now, she's how i imagine her in the show - she's still a cheeky, sarcastic, stubborn and awesome tomboy with insurmountable trust and distance issues, and i love her for that! the circumstances that drew her to the party are currently a secret, but i will establish now that billy is tied to her storyline and how the party meets her for the first time - while billy's an interesting character in his own right, i straight up don't like him :P so i'm warning people now that billy's more a plot device for max's arc and i probably won't be diving incredibly deep into his character. this is a party centric au after all!

when i was thinking of max's character, i was trying to keep the things she liked in mind and why she was so cool in the first place! ofc, she had to skateboard, even if it was only a little, and she's honestly just great at games in general (to dustin's dismay).

her upbringing in canon and the way she acts is pure "survival instinct" behavior. she knows first aid, she knows how to drive, she escapes vecna, she's incredibly independent! she's a fighter, through and through. she's also not really one to hesitate often to be hands on, and i can see it in the way she acted seasons 2-4 :')

lucas is almost done - maybe a few days give or take!

Hi!!! I'm super new, I just started looking through your page today. I'm so so excited about this AU, The Last of Us is my favorite TV show. I have a few (hopefully not stupid) questions. First, will this AU be posted on AO3? Or is it a comic?? Like what is the platform for it. And second, is it based on a specific zombie show (like The Last of Us)?

hey there! glad you're enjoying, and your questions aren't stupid :D

first off - i wasn't really planning on posting anything to ao3! when/if i make some small comics, i'll post them to tumblr and maybe ao3? if i did do ao3 it would probably be under the anonymous collection :P not really a fan of people knowing my entire fandom history from age 12 through my bookmarks LMAO

second - nah, my apoc au is really my own take on a world! it'll probably draw a ton of heavy inspo from different zombie games, including tlou games :)

"if you say that you are mine, i'll be here till the end of time" playing over mike's segment when he was trying to get to will is genuinely one of my fave pieces of byler evidence that i heard while rewatching
