I may have furrified Augusto and Melora. Just a little bit.
The two Mexican 14 year olds in the worst relationship ever, everybody.
The song Melora is dancing to in that one fourth picture is called “Fiesta Pagana” by Mago de Oz. Check it out.
“Sorority”
Quick sketch about Mel’s relationship with Noamí, but furrified.
Three more designs for the story.
First is Noamí. She’s a white rock dove. She’s a misterious girl that gets named now and then.
Damián is Augusto’s best friend. They look similar because zone-tiled hawks and red-tailed hawks share the same taxonomic classification. They’re like cousins, species-wise.
Guillermo is a barn owl. Surprisingly important for the narrative, probably.
I did a Q&A with Melora on my personal instagram account and these are the results!
Two extras:
Would you like me to do the same dynamic here?
Quick thing I did about these two.
“El malogrado par te persigue desde la memoria. Tal vez tú mereces tu vida mucho menos que ellos.”
Angel Augusto and Angel Noamí.
I’ll probably do some references explaining what inspired certain aspects of these designs.
Goofy things that happen when you’re animating in art class next to your classmates.
An amongus, a little kiss, and probably a drag reference.
did you change the name of dead dove :0?
saw your newest post and in the tags it was "DD:DNI", so i assume you changed it to dead dove, do not interact, which is really funny to me. i just imagine Melora going "do not interact, dead dove, you know what you did *side eye*"
if im wrong then sorry
LMAOOO NO WAY.
Sorry, my brain is kind of not working at full capacity, it was my mistake hahaha.
Nope, Dead dove hasn’t changed, it’s still the same ahaha.
A drawing of sweet girl Melora. Just her.
“I was young, it’s true. But even then I knew…
The only thing you wanna do is…”
14 year old Melora. Slightly more developed than her peers for her age. Not a remarkable performance in anything, at least not as far as her school is concerned. Kind of.
“14 and a half years old”
Augusto and Melora freshly into 8th grade.
Other women are not your enemies. We’re sisters. We must take care of each other despite our differences.
(TERFs fuck off btw. This post is not for you.)
The awareness ribbons represent each of their most prominent illnesses. Not saying which of them they are, but you can kind of give yourself an idea of which could they be.
Noamí and Melora are disabled teens. We should treat young disabled people with more dignity. Never be ashamed of being disabled.
Art about Melora and her cousin Fatima. They’re heading back home together, since Melora is on a visit to the State of Mexico. They’re not particularly close, but Melora is the only one who reacts with genuine concern and disbelief to her cousin’s problems with her classmates.
Melora looks older than Fatima in this drawing because there’s like two years between each other (they’re one school year apart because birthdays are a weird thing) and they’re still molting their fledgeling feathers for their juvenile ones. Melora has molted waaay more feathers for obvious reasons, so that’s that.
“I don’t need to smoke, the smoke is dark and suffocating enough inside my head”.
Sweet perpetually abused Melora. That post traumatic sure does stress.
Quick nightly sketches of something I thought about. Will probably release an extended, more polished version once I have time.
I wouldn’t consider her a girly girl, but if Melora and her had been friends, I’m certain that she would’ve convinced Noamí to wear one of those frilly lolita-esque dresses.
I wonder if Melora reads that one comic about the two headed calf and cries.
She may not see twice as stars as usual, but she sure bleeds twice as much as anyone else she knows.
No idea of what Melora has. Something pops in her lower ribs sometimes though, and it hurts her.
