just one last sketchy resbang thing i worked on for zxanthe’s ‘synthesis’. this is tsubaki’s starship. chaoticlivi mentioned the headpiece in the docked form looked like a deer skull, and that’s how the flight form came to be. it was a lot of fun! (not so much the freaky front view with the upside-down shinigami mask, but hey, experience is experience haha)

it’s in our hands

fanmix series for zxanthe’s 2014 resbang: synthesis

suddenly, you’re unmoored, your ties cut, a balloon freed from the hand of a child. all that’s left of home is you and a few meager trinkets, so what else can you do but continue on? (a science fiction au featuring a boy made of lightning, a flying assassin, a dream of immortality, and several ways to heal a broken heart.)
