Comic work is progressing nicely, almost at the end of the sketching phase! Haven't got my hands on Raiders (or even a Switch 2, still debating it) but rest assured I am very enamored by Deep Cut's goofball antics with the Mechanic. I can't believe these goobers survived being stranded for a month.

memverse_beta-test_(NOT)final 🐙 Marina (& Pearl, Acht, and Eight) 🐙 <5k 🐙 Splatoon Side Order 🐙 Rated G Written for the FANTASTIC @encorepwease.bsky.social zine! Leftovers are open now! See also @lycaneum.bsky.social 's amazing spot art! archiveofourown.org/works/89360051 #splatoon #voidsfic

Summary:

The Memverse is Marina's darling, her passion project, and it's wholly selfish of her to pour so much of herself into something meant to help others instead. Now that it's all coming undone, posing a threat to everyone it had been meant to help, what's she supposed to do?
--
"A sense of dread wells up in Marina every time she watches Eight stained dark and struggling, face screwed up in frustration. The twisting feeling in her gut that maybe the whole Memverse had been a mistake to begin with. Could this really help anyone? Even after they expel Order from the program, Marina can’t help but fear the roots were always rotten. A project too ambitious, more harm than good as result."

Gotta Find Me a Future Part Two: Dawn (1/16) Without further ado, @theashemarie.bsky.social , @katiemonz.bsky.social , @lycaneum.bsky.social , and I present Gotta Find Me a Future Part Two: Dawn! #pearlina #GottaFindMeaFuture

Page 1 - COVER
A full page, full color comic cover.

The cover page depicts a backstage tent at the Grand Festival, where the idols are preparing for their Three Wishes performances. In the center of the image, Pearl’s hands are holding up a hinged compact mirror and an engagement ring. The bottom half of the mirror reveals half of Pearl’s face, smiling fondly. The top half of the mirror reflects Marina as she is putting in her earrings at a makeup vanity. She is dressed in her Grand Festival top and sweatpants, depicted from behind with her tentacles pulled up and out of the way so that her back is fully visible. Marina is lit from the front so that there is a slight glow bouncing off her skin. We can also see a bit of her face in the mirror in front of her.

The engagement ring is silver with small, turquoise stones.

The title and subtitle of the comic are inked in the top middle of the page, above the main illustration:

GOTTA FIND ME A FUTURE
Part Two: Dawn

Page 2

A grayscale comic page. It is a full page illustration of an ink droplet being shot toward the bottom of the page.

Page 3

A grayscale comic page with three panels. The ink droplet travels across the page before landing in a splatter on the ground.

Page 4
A grayscale comic page depicting two scenes from Grand Fest. The first panel is a crowd reaction shot of multiple inklings, octolings, and jellyfish reacting to the battle they're watching.

The second, bigger panel depicts the commentator booth. Two commentators, an inkling and a jellyfish, are looking up at off-screen action with microphones on the table before them. Behind them, the media crew of the event are shown in front of multiple monitors.

Gotta Find Me a Future Part 1: Sunset (1/11) Please, please, please read it either on tumblr or through your web browser. The quality is so much better than on the blsky app. #Splatoon #Pearlina

A full page, full color comic cover.

Pearl stands in a dark bathroom. Behind her, there is a large, rectangular window that opens to the Inkopolis skyline; it is dawn and the sky is dark blue mixed with the teal and pink of sunrise. Pearl is underlit so her chin, neck, and hands are glowing gold. She is dressed in a black t-shirt, with her tentacles pulled back into a ponytail in the middle of her head, and has a solid black choker around her throat. She also has a silver metal chain looped around her neck, upon which a silver ring is strung. The ring is also silver and has turquoise stones inlaid on its surface. She is pulling the neck of her t-shirt out as if to stash the necklace and ring inside. At the top of the page, the title of the comic is written in white letters: Gotta Find Me a Future, Part One: Sunset.

A white page with black text printed on it. It reads:

SPECIAL THANKS
Ashe, Katie, and Rory
For helping make this comic a reality

A grayscale comic page.

Panel 1: A wide, thin panel that is framed so that we can see below Marina’s eyes but above Pearl’s. Marina is dressed in a white shirt and both characters have their tentacles pulled up. Marina is wearing big hoop earrings and is saying, “Wow!”

Panel 2: A wide establishing shot of Pearl and Marina walking through the booths at the Grand Festival. The sun is high in the sky and there are a few clouds. Pearl is wearing a black t-shirt and gray joggers; Marina also has on gray joggers, which she’s wearing low on her waist. The booths are currently being set up so there are assorted boxes and merch in various states of disarray. Marina leads the way with one hand against her chin, thoughtful, as she takes in all the booths. Pearl follows closely behind with her opposite hand raised to brush behind her ear.

Marina: They really know how to throw a party! Oh, look at that!

Pearl: No kiddin’. Looks like they decided to go all out.

Panel 1: A solo shot of Pearl. She has caught sight of something; she’s distracted as Marina’s dialogue fades out behind her.

Marina: Too bad we don’t have time to check out the festival… What with the final soundcheck and rehearsal and–

Pearl: Uh-huh…

Panel 2: A worker jellyfish in a cap holds up two small, big-headed Pearl and Marina plushies. They are lit up with a white aura.

Panel 3: A montage shot of all the Pearl plushies that Marina has collected. Pearl stands in the middle, chibi-ified with her hands in her pockets and a small frown. She thinks to herself “Shit, I know Marina’s going to want to grab one to add to her collection…” Around her, the plushies are:

a Pearl plush labeled “Surprise Pearl” standing in a pantry, flanked on either side by cup noodle
A Pearl plush labeled “Drumkit Pearl” lying on her back in a bass drum.
Six Pearls flanking a Marina plush on a window sill, three on either side, some lying down, facing directly toward the viewer, labeled “Window Watchers.”
Three off-model Pearl plushies labeled “Bootleg Pearls.” Their moles are in the wrong place and they have visible stitches.
A Pearl leaning against a set of matching Pearl and Marina swim form pillows.
A Pearl peering sideways out of the inside of an award shaped like a clam shell. It is labeled “Award Pearl.”

Panel 4: Montage continues. A small flashback scene where Marina is shown clutching a shopping bag full of Pearl merch. She holds out a credit card and says, “All of it on this card please!” Pearl stands next to her, thinking, “My card…”

Current day Pearl is shown sweating, overlaid next to the flashback, and she narrates: “Even though we definitely have enough at home. And Shiver will throw a fit if we’re late again…”

Below that is a shot of Shiver, underlit, as she holds her hands out and says “How NICE of you to join us this evening. All of us were JUST taking a break. No need to rush.” The top of Frye’s head is shown below her, saying “Uh oh… Shiver’s mad.”
