Trying to get the first chapter of my #boysLove gay romance #webnovel "Fractured heart: the tale of the pop star and the pauper" ready to publish to Patreon tomorrow, but my pirate cat coworker keeps sticking her fur in my mouth, making it hard to concentrate without coughing...

(2/2) “Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 9

The other two illustrations for this chapter; I had plans for an #Illustration for the scene at the beginning of the chapter, but I already spent so much time on these ones that I skipped it due to time 😔

Auriga’s outfit in The Defenestrators is based on punk fashion with military elements, but within the context of the setting: the military elements are the pieces of armor. I struggled so much with what team she’d be in.

There were many possibilities that would’ve worked, but I ultimately decided that she returned to The Defenestrators. My decision was influenced by me wanting to balance out the team’s line-up more by having 2 former(?) CC members instead of just one. Story-wise, it’s also to show that this team successfully made amends with at least one of its members that previously left it on not so good terms, but not all of them.

Lorraine’s outfit is based on 80’s glam punk, and Wolfgang’s is based on 18th century menswear. This illustration took the longest because of the lighting effects and I tried my best to get them how I intended when I’m just working with a trackpad so I did those effects in Inkscape as much as I could.

Aside from the backgrounds, these were all #VectorArt! The illustration of Lorraine and Wolfgang has additional color lighting effects which I applied with vectors like this after the shading was finished:
*Select the base path and the shadow path on it
*Duplicate both paths
*Use the Difference Boolean Operation to subtract the duplicated shadow path from the duplicated base path
*Paste the style of the lighting onto the remaining path and set its blend mode to Soft Light
*Lower the shape layer until it’s where it should be

This process is a lot more efficient than what I used to do for color lighting 🥲

In this chapter I didn’t expect to spend so much time writing out how a TV commercial goes, but it was part of introducing these characters. The chapter ends by playing a bit more of the recording that Marcia found, which reveals another surprise…

Auriga standing on a stage at sunset, and holding her bass guitar. She has long slate blue hair tied in pigtails and is wearing a punk-style outfit with a helmet and shoulder armor; she is wearing a turquoise button-down shirt with a blue vest, black shorts with an orange pattern, long black socks with orange patterned trim, a studded belt and a sash around her waist.

Lorraine and Wolfgang in side views in opposite directions. Lorraine has brick-red hair tied in a messy bun, has blue eyes and is wearing a glam punk-style outfit with a black domino mask, a black gown with a blue jacket and long black gloves. Her gloves have spiked studs and orange cuffs, and she has a rainbow chain across the front of her outfit. Wolfgang has mid back-length blue hair, green eyes with purple highlights, is wearing a black button-down shirt with a blue vest, a black overcoat, orange neckerchief around his shirt collar, and wearing a studded black collar. The lapel of his overcoat is orange and lined with rivets, the front has an orange flame pattern down the middle, and it has a pair of studded belts on the upper sleeves.

Title: Will You Be Going to the Carnival?

This is the most ambitious chapter I published! Some of the members of The Defenestrators had cameo appearances in an earlier chapter, or appeared in “To the Visitors…” but didn’t have #Illustrations. At those times I didn’t have finalized designs for some of them.

More of its members appeared in this chapter through a TV commercial announcing their next performance.

When I drafted the outline for this chapter, that scene was just a way to mention that a carnival would be coming up to be the next location of the story, but because these characters only appeared through cameos, I got tempted enough to illustrate scenes that showed each of them. I overcomplicated this again, but I took this as a chance to introduce several characters that I previously struggled with.

During the drafting of the chapter, I made some final decisions on three characters I struggled with and came up with one I wanted to design, but had no previous concept for. I have a lot of notes about this:

📄 https://synergyeclipse30.neocities.org/operating-superstars/#Update%20log

I posted these two illustrations side by side to show the similarities and contrasts with Marilyn’s and Arke’s designs since Marilyn is based on OS/2 and Arke is based on one of OS/2's successors (ArcaOS).

When I designed each of the outfits for this chapter, they follow general themes to tie them together but are also based on different styles; Marilyn’s is based on Nerdcore fashion, Priscilla’s is based on a business outfit turned punk, and Arke’s is a futuristic punk style.

The article for this story and a few others were updated on the project wiki, and more updates will be coming with articles for these characters.

#MastoArt #OriginalCharacter #OC #Personification #Illustration

Priscilla and Marilyn posing against a backdrop. They are wearing punk style outfits; Priscilla has short straight black hair and blue eyes, and is wearing an orange shirt with a black tie, tattered blue jeans, and a black blazer with metal chains and jewelry pinned to it, with colorful sleeve patches and metal shoulder spikes. Marilyn is taller and has long wavy purple hair with teal streaks and blue eyes. She is wearing a black button-down shirt with a blue sweater vest, an orange and black plaid skirt, black and orange bracelets and a chain necklace.

Arke running towards the stage; her back is towards the camera, but she's turned at an angle to be looking at the camera while she waves one of her hands in front of it. She has blue lion ears and a tail, has wavy light blue hair with lilac streaks, green eyes and is wearing a blue and black bodysuit with a black and orange motorcycle jacket.

Freyja and Page have heart to heart as they get some air in today's Outside Cats!

Now if y'all will excuse me I am pooped dealing with online stuff...gonna "relax" by writing Lys, Theo and the gang go watch Lys's "rival lover" do his DJ set in LA 😏

Just created a Patreon page for my #boysLove #gay #romance #webnovel "Fractured Heart: The Tale of the Pop Star and the Pauper" so that I can finally start releasing chapters hopefully by this Friday!

https://www.patreon.com/FracturedHeart

You can join now for $5 to get a chapter a week (and these chapters are chonky bois, 5-8k words each, not the short and quick ones you see on most webnovels) and after I have time to catch up on editing, I'll add an advance chapters tier for $10 to get an extra TEN chapters ahead! (I already have 80+ chapters written, I just have to edit them first, lol)

I've been obsessively writing and editing this novel for so long now and I'm so excited to finally start putting it online for others to read--I just hope they fall in love with Lys and Theo (and all their friends and enemies) as much as I have!

Stay tuned and I'll post more about the story soon~

promo image for the webnovel that has a yellow/orange gradient in the background surrounded by a curled ivy border with a broken black-and-rainbow heart icon captioned "Fractured Heart" over the tagline "The Tale of the Pop STar and the Pauper" and an icon for a microphone on one corner and headphones on the other

decided I'm going with this cover for my #boyslove #gay #romance #webnovel for now. now to make social media accounts for it, and ideally a website before I release the first chapter on Friday...

$a yellow/orange gradient in back with a curving ivy-style black border and image of a heart that is half black half rainbow cut in half with text knocked out of it that says "fractured heart" with the subtitle "The Tale of the Pop Star and the Pauper" and a line image of a microphone on one corner and headphones in the other$

god all these #webnovel guides really hammer home to keep chapters as short and pitchy as possible. I guess I gotta either just start adding artificial chops to my chapters, or accept that not many people will subscribe to it 🤷 (considering this book started as a labor of love anyway I'll probably go with the latter option, heh)

“Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 9 #WIP 2 and 3

This post combines two WIPs featuring two of the characters that’ll appear in this chapter, and a backdrop I probably spent way more time on than needed for an illustration, but I still liked how it turned out 🥲 The second is overdue here; I already posted it on my project site and blog so I’m merging it with the post for the third.

The illustration with her and Wolfgang in their performance outfits shows hers as a silhouette, so hers will be shown after the chapter is published.

Lorraine is one of the characters that I had design ideas for but really struggled to come up with a solid design until something clicked while I was sketching out several possible outfit variants.

One of the issues I got stuck on was where to put the red and white checkered pattern; I wanted to include it but also keep her outfit easy enough to draw to avoid the frustration I faced with designing outfits that were difficult to draw consistently.

The design for her normal outfit is mostly finalized and has what I intended for her. I also wanted to add a bow in her hair or add goggles, but I’m still not sure if I will in her finalized design. The line art hasn’t been adjusted yet.

Wolfgang’s normal design will be shown after the chapter is published. His outfit here is based on 18th century formal menswear fused with punk. I had this general idea for his design in Version 1, but never got to drawing him in this until now.

The 3D render is a stylized city as a stage backdrop; I used BlenderKit models and modeled a few buildings from scratch in Blender. I painted a watercolor effect in the sky and added a posterize filter to make the colors flatter and more abstract in Krita.

#MastoArt #Illustration #OriginalCharacter #OC #Personification

A 3D render of a city block at night. Its colors are stylized with a palette of black, blue, orange and white; the buildings appear dark gray with orange windows, and white lights from street lamps against a blue night sky. The scene’s colors were altered with a posterize effect to be flatter and more abstract, and watercolor effects were painted into the sky.

A chibi overworld “sprite” of Lorraine (Commodore-era Amiga). She has blue eyes, has long wavy brick red hair, orange fox ears and tail and is wearing a light red jumpsuit under a blue and white jacket and a blue mini-skirt. She is wearing glassy red earrings. This drawing is unshaded and the line art still needs to be adjusted.

Her hair is mostly down but tied into a small ponytail on her right side. Her jacket is blue with white sleeves, red cuffs, and multicolor lapels; the top lapels have a red and white checkerboard pattern and the bottom are orange. Her skirt is the same shade of blue as her jacket and has a red studded belt. She wears beige boots and gloves; her boots have a blue strap at the top with a red strap below them, and a beige strap at the bottom. In her right hand she is holding a foam baseball bat. On her jacket she has a blue floppy disk pin with a red ribbon and the disk is based on the Amiga Kickstart screen.

Lorraine and Wolfgang in side views in opposite directions. Lorraine appears as a silhouette but is shown to have her hair tied in a messy bun and is wearing a gown. Wolfgang's appearance is fully shown; he has mid back-length blue hair, green eyes with purple highlights, is wearing a black button-down shirt with a blue vest, a black overcoat, orange neckerchief around his shirt collar, and wearing a studded black collar. The lapel of his overcoat is orange and lined with rivets, the front has an orange flame pattern down the middle, and it has a pair of studded belts on the upper sleeves.

Operating Superstars — Year in review (2025)

Happy new year! I was a little late to post the announcement here before the end of 2025, though I published my review post then.

📄https://synergyeclipse30.neocities.org/operating-superstars/development-in-review-2025

The year was a wild ride with many struggles and breakthroughs; the excitement I started with to continue Version 3 started to give way to frustration in February and March until I launched the wiki.

When I looked through the updates from this year, I saw how I started with a lot of difficulty drawing and worked my way back up to most of what I could previously do.

2025 is when I shifted towards being a #Webnovel writer and illustrator. It's still bittersweet to me since I used to be able to draw more frequently, but my shift towards #Writing helps me get ideas through stories out more quickly than I could before. Through drawing a few illustrations for most chapters, I can still draw for the stories I want to tell.

This update is also mirrored on the blog which links to several posts. The version on the site doesn't have links yet since I'll be mirroring the posts on a new page on the site, and it's going to take a while. So many paragraphs that I'll have to manually format like what I do for each webnovel chapter, but at least 10-fold 🙃
