to start off i will post some of the stuff ive been working on for the mother of pearl comic im cooking up
this is Hunter, one of the protagonists of the comic. she is a gem hunter and works with the Mothers. she despises wild gems despite being one, for reasons that will be explored in the comic. personality wise she has a serious, brooding attitude, is very focused on whatever her objective is and can be a little humorless at times. this is contrasted with her traveling partner whom i will write about later. she uses a trident and a net in a fight.
the plot of her story is that she is commissioned by a mysterious mother on a secret mission to gather one of every type of wild gem, and she is assisted by the mother's pearl during her travels. during their travels we will learn a lot about the life on homeworld and its inhabitants.
now, what im about to say might seem counter-intuitive, but due to being burnt out i decided to make all of the characters for the comic in 3d because its less work per page. obviously 3d is a lot of work, but im burnt out on 2d drawings and i barf at the thought of lining the comic manually. i decided to go for something different and at the same time i will learn new skills which i feel i really need
but that also spawned an idea - what if ancient, natural gems were all low poly due to their 'primitive tech' nature xDDDDD its actually something mothers and pearls poke fun at them for and it adds to the antagonisms between the species
anyway, next i will prolly post stuff about the second protag and maybe some moms with updated designs, also some worldbuilding stuff (but not all, i dont want to post spoilers). i would like to note that this project is very big and i feel like it goes outside of a simple headcanon, because im basically making up the entire homeworld before it was completely colonized by gems and thus was full of organic life. im actually exciting to share it and i hope ppl will like it
i need to think of the name for the series too lol
