When I was sorting through my illustrations to find my favorite of each character, I realized my favorite of Friday is no longer applicable to my current style…so I redrew it ;^) I’m also hosting a costume contest on my socials, so be sure to head over to my Instagram or Twitter to enter before Halloween!!
*sigh* it’s fall.. I GUESS…
Can you tell I’m not a fan? But at least someone enjoys it!
I am working on a portrait series of all the main characters from Blue Remedy to turn into a color block type poster. I asked on IG which one should be posted publicly (the rest are going to be on patreon only… I only have Friday left to do!), and it was a four way tie… Go figure!
So I decided to go with Nick, since he’s my favorite ;^). This is one of the prints I have available at the convention…and my shop! Check it out!!
But what can I say? I feel like I had some really good ideas in the past that I couldn’t really execute with the skill level I had then. It makes me both proud and also embarrassed to share these redraws…On one hand, it’s like, “damn ma, you did a lot in two years!” but I also want to hide my head because I am endlessly embarrassed that I thought my old work was good… but hey, we have to start somewhere- and it all just takes practice!
My first born OC (kind of), and based on me, I can’t help that Nick is my favorite. I love his swag, his style, and every effed up aspect of his personality. <333 We love an effed up baby don’t we?
Nick is definitely the type to throw some money around, be generous, and generally look for ways to be popular in a group. “Drinks on me” is definitely something we would hear him say! He always wants people to like him, and generosity is one of the easiest ways…of course, that only lasts as long as the money does. It’s not always about materialism, Nick… you have a lot more to give if you find the right people to trust with it!
Honestly, I was just inspired by the video “I’m not a vampire” by Falling in Reverse- I wanted to draw the outfit Ronnie Radke was wearing on Sacha!! Then I figured I needed some bright/spring- themed pictures for my wall and new prints…so I slapped some flowers on the back and said “yeah that works”. I mean, do we really need a reason for a shirtless Sacha? Do we? I think not.
There’s a lot working against them though, Nick and Sacha… Nick and his issues with being open and vulnerable emotionally makes him impossible to really get to know beyond the facade of “I’m cool, everything is cool- let’s have fun and smile a lot”. Meanwhile, Sacha has zero time for people who aren’t real- especially when he struggles with toxic masculinity himself and has yet to accept that he can be attracted to men sometimes. This leads to a lot of “I don’t know what I was thinking- it meant nothing- what the hell is your problem? Get away from me!”
Among many other issues they both have as individuals, that culminate in a toxic cess pool of an on-again-off-again “relationship”. But you’ll have to read the comic to learn more..!9
I knew my story needed a little pizzazzzzzz…
First appears: I Hear You- Episode 13 (Blue Remedy prequel)
Watch out people, the queen is coming through! Let me tell you a bit about our girl Friday- some which are seen in the comic Blue Remedy, and some from the prequel I Hear You. I am trying not to put any spoilers, but you may want to stop here if you are really ANTI spoiler…just in case ;^)
Get to know Friday, one of the main characters from Blue Remedy!
Middle name: Joanna
Ethnicity: White (German, Welsh, French)
Birthday: July 6 (age in Blue Remedy: 29yr ; I Hear You: 19yr)
Height: 5′ 4″ (162.5cm)
Place of Birth: Garden City Army Base (approx 1hr outside of The City by car, 1.5 hr by train)
Current location: The City
Job: ER Trauma nurse, 3rd Shift (employed by The City Memorial)
Parents: Jonathon (60yr) and Shauna (57yr) Jones
Siblings: Colton (31yr) , Hunter (25yr) , Marley (25yr),
Childhood: Friday grew up with her large family on the Garden City Army Base. She attended the local private military school for her K-12 education. After graduation, she went to the local college for nursing, where she completed her education and obtained a BS in nursing. Being the middle child, she often helped her mother care for her twin little brothers, Hunter and Marley, while enjoying the affections and protection of her elder brother Colton. Her home was a loving one, with strong bonds between all family members. Even though her father was often away on military orders, she would definitely be described as a “daddy’s girl”, spending a lot of time with him whenever he was home.
Friday has alopecia, which began to show itself in her sophomore year of high school. Losing her hair was a very traumatic (and unexpected) event, as the only other person in her family to show signs of alopecia was her great aunt on her mother’s side. Dealing with the whispers and gossip surrounding her condition was a very difficult thing to go through at such a sensitive age, and she still finds it difficult to disclose her condition to new people in her life.
Childhood Best Friend: Nick A. Andrews
Current Best Friend: Nick A. Andrews
Relationship status: Committed (unmarried)
Friday loves reading, pampering herself (read: hogging the bathroom), and shopping!
Friday can be a bit of a homebody at times, and enjoys losing herself in a good book. She will never say no to a saucy novel ;^). You’ll often find her with a book in her purse, just incase she gets held up or bored at work or while running errands. The only thing better than a good book is a good book in a bathtub filled with floral scented bubbles and a face mask on! This queen loves to feel pampered, even if she has to do it for herself!
I think that’s all I can tell you without getting into spoilers… :^) You’ll just have to read the comic to find out more!
