Bad Company (Taylor/OC, Worm AU)

[Eatersgrin]

A couple concept designs for Ray's actual costume. Concept 1 has been said to be too creepy. I have no feedback on concept 2.

It's one thing to see artist interpretations of the Undersiders but it's another to get like another characters perspective of them. Here is how Ray sees Grue, and why he calls him The Bogeyman. The term Ray would have grown up with is Cucuy (Koo-Koo-ee).

Big fan of superhero crossovers with massive Kaiju/alien invasions. Here was my attempt at illustrating the event.

So that's it for the first arc of the story. Going to take a few days to formulate a new timeline and milestones for the characters and story.

Hopefully I can get some non-SPAG feedback on this so I can start writing arc 2 with some idea of what's working or interesting or hoping what may or may not happen.

This is the point where he should have killed her, she helped kidnap him, and just asserted he was a slave, that's the point where you use your newly discovered higher power level to kill your enemy.

He shouldn't even get in trouble for it with the PRT, Armsmaster has a lie detector, and a cape coming to your girlfriends house to remind you you're a slave, is about as blatant a breaking of the Unwritten rules as it gets, which make killing her self-defense.

I get that reaction. I fully do. But that clown literally haunts Ray. Like full on Rachel's Monster Dogs after his grandmother, Leviathan going after Taylor, Circus cracking his skull with a sledgehammer like a cartoon with consequences is his third nightmare scenario and he lived it so that moment is forever rent-free in his head.

Sure Ray has fought an Endbringer but he'd rather solo Leviathan again than deal with Circus.

This is a fight where Taylor just may need to step up for her guy.

Thanks for the insight!

Here's some Skitter art I didn't use for the chapters.

I know the tv and movie portrayal of Hispanic aunt's, grandmothers, and moms usually have them looking darker skinned with a really tired look to them but the bulk of the women in my family are fair to olive skinned. So when coming up with Abuela she's modelled after my Maternal grandmother and paternal great aunts.

I had an idea for a cheesecake style picture as if Ray was taking one in the field then it evolved from shenanigans to her first fight against Lung.

Arc 2, Chapter 5 is on its second rewrite. This arc is generating alot of cut content and almost entirely rewritten chapters. So expect that in a couple days.

The description was a bit vague for Harrison, so I did my best with artbreeder, photomania, and ibis x to come up with Ray's recent rescue, and Taylor's bully.

Considered cute, a late bloomer and petite, here's "Bad Company" Madison. Also since she lacks much background I had to make up some things to flesh her out and her motivation.

"Since she was a late bloomer, tended to hang out with the two other parts of the trio since she was not intimidating on her own. Boys and men saw her as small and weak and despite looking younger than she was made her a target for aggressive guys. To fit in she made fun of others to court the attention of Sophia and Emma. Thus gaining their friendship and de facto protection.

Is much shorter than Ray and Taylor. Has a big appetite. Being small and petite she tried to take only half the pills given of uppers to keep herself aware during her time captured by The Merchants.

Isn't sporty like Sophia or vapid like Emma, actually enjoys her personal time but would be put on display by her parents a lot. A small amount of adults in her parent's social circle liked her a little too much, would be volunteered to babysit their kids putting her in awkward situations."
