THE MAJOR FACTIONS
The political environments of this world are bitter and complex. Everyone seeks to support only themselves, and do not care who they must tear down to climb higher. The main political powers are listed below, along with their current affiliates.The Cities
The Cities themselves. They influence the Wastes in overt strokes. The Cities are of course the dominant players in this battlefield. With the power of the Dragons at their back, the Cities have an advantage in sheer strength alone. Add to that their population, knowledge, size, and histories and the image is created of a trio of violently undominatable opponents.The Plains Union
A united federation connecting the scattered towns, villages, and other settlements that pockmark the Wastelands like acne scars. The Plains Union also includes a few supernatural settlements. It was established largely to unite the surface into one country, much like the Cities themselves, and to help protect the Wastelands from the wanton actions of others. The Plains Union focuses heavily on the people's choice, and is ruled by a democratically elected board whose members change every few years. However, claims of unfair treatments fissure the Union, with accusations of bias towards landowners over those who actually work the land itself. The Union's main sources of income are agriculture and mines.Children of the Beast
The powerful monster faction headed by Jean-Claude.Undergrowth
This underground conglomerate is practically a City of its own, and rivals the major three in all but raw power (the Undergrowth has no draconic protection). Run by an AI. While it is a city large and powerful enough to rival any of the major Cities, it is sworn by a trade alliance and maintains a careful neutrality between the Big Three and the Federation. Although rumours of it working with the Children of the Beast are rife...???
Something's in the water. Something's in the air. Whispers and rumours circulate in the Plains and Cities alike. People believe. There's something else out there.
JJ!
First full colour reference I did for them, specifically so they could be added to my artfight ;p. I like the outfit, but the pose is pretty static. I also failed to portray just how sick its bird feet are! (and its mismatched arms...)
Artfight piece
Gorgeous art by Ealya Art! One of my favourite pieces of Jeeby ever. The pose is so sick!!
Pin-up Poser.
Beautiful art by Egomassacre! MY FAVOURITE EVER JEEBY PIECE!!! Commissioned Egomassacre after finding him because of his gorgeous Killer7 fanart, and my god did he knock it out of the PARK! Look how amazing JJ looks!!! It was a full artistic licence commission and I love the outfit he chose.
Cold Storage
This one's based on a cool as fuck photo I saw on Instagram once. Fun experiment, but I don't think it's as readable as it could be.
Fashion sketches
For a character that is literally a fashion model, I don't draw JJ in funky clothes often. This was me trying to rectify that, and also practice doodles.
Concept Art
The concept art that made JJ! They started off as a cyborg, so they retained a human arm in this sketch. Love this drawing so much because it was this specific sketch that nailed the vibe of JJ- their personality pops in this one to me, and it marks the moment they became a character of its own. You can also see their sick ass bird feet in detail on this (i love those sick ass bird feet xp). This was drawn with my favourite pen, the brush pen, which sadly I lost on a work trip... RIP brush pen, you were mad fun. Definitely want to fully paint this.
Concept Art - Arms
This was me nailing down the asymmetric arm design. I like these sketches, they show a little fun personality.
Concept Art - Body
Wanted to nail down the body design in this one.
Military Fashion Show
Tried to go for a fashion photoshoot look. Didn't quite achieve what I wanted, but still fun.
