January
I think in this month I started to get back to regular drawing... enjoy it and have fun, it was plenty of ideas... starting with alternative (only yellow, as at the beginning it was the only idea). Ot's chest look as it looks XD but I needed to practice, in this month I developed Ot's history I think... Later I got the idea of blue altenrative...
February
In this month I was starting with pink alternative, I remember I wanted to include James and Lily and make something different... twists and so on not easy just extreme. Of course my favourites are 'I'm to sexy for my shirt' and 'cat playing with the light' XDDD. But those of yellow alternative were funny as well..
March
A few really good comics here, like that one with James and Lily (The poor thing), pink alternative XD Those about Julia x Otto, and one very dramatic but important one... Pandemia of covid made me focus on drawing little bit more- to comfort myself and forget about all - it helped. How much I enjoyed drawing Lily and James situation I can't tell... even sometimes it was absurd XDD
April
I like almost all of this month... I had nice ideas, and I even like to get back to them to cheer myself up sometimes. I remember I was sad to finish the Poor thing comic, and yellow alternative here. Funny comics with Otto and Julia of the main story comforted me.
May
A productive month, I think I tried from every side, alternative, Julia 20 Julia 25 etc... then I finally finished 'The Poor thing' comic. Started to discover little more about Julia and Otto, but slowly -and turning into alternatives more.
June
Some comics were touching other just funny I think June was quite good month. I had more time so more comics were created. I also remember I turned sad and dramatic Reunion comic into little more funny manner.
July
Covid was all the time, I didn't feel like getting out (which was stress) so I drew... plenty.. some nice comics came out and a lot of pink alternative (it was the longest and I didn't really want to finish it...). Here I think finally showed you Julia feeling really jealous and caring of Otto.
August
That month pink alternative was great inspiration, adding one comic about 15-year-old Julia, and additional stories when Otto was early 20ties enjoy (once again focused on pink alternative). I like jumping 'cause alternative often inspired me to draw Otx Julia story then SiriusxJulia...
September
A few pages describing the wedding with a few hilarious for me lines (pink altenerative) , gift for Tranki and comic about winter clothes comic -all make me laugh. One black&white story with more serious but touching idea. Then 'Something strange' - which is... just too funny XD and the same with 'sweet Julia on the broom'. Mix of my mood ... then not so many comics due to my 2-week holiday....
October
A few of my favourite pages of pink alternative - where James and lily rule XD, Halloween one and Ed. Not a lot... lack of time... lots of stress of my sister's pregnancy during the pendemic time... etc... more arts than comics.... and finally after 51 pages finishing Pink alternative - all the alternatives were to confuse you... to make me draw some pics I wanted but not clear which world it was.
November
no comics here [yeah baby at home, stress, high numbers of covid infection etc... not really thinking of drawing, at least comics].
December
In this month I didn't have plenty of time to draw comics either (as they usually take a lot of time), but I managed to make a few -they're sketchy but I focused on reunion page and rethought all the story to make it flow... I hope you'll enjoy.
Hi here are the best of the year according to me (subjective)
Want it or not Julia and Otto took most of my gallery... (main heros are Julia, Otto and Sirius)
I chose 24 the best of each category.
This year was productive as well, but as you noticed in November I mostly slowed down and focused more on pictures than comics..
There will be one summary more of comics... ;)
UPADETE: 20th Jan - poll
I wonder which one you enjoyed the most
poll here: https://www.deviantart.com/frytka/poll/Which-alternative-did-you-like-the-most-8097314
Lately I've been submitted a lot of alternatives that probably confused you... They're just for fun and practice, to make the story go in completely different direction (not according to my main story, where Julia and Sirius had been separated for 20 years, Julia was raped, killed her rapists and started animagus training and got Harry, meeting Otto and all got so confusing when Sirius is back when they're 35),
Let me make it clear... as you could be surprised see suddenly Otto and Julia kissing (in main story they can't at all, or he dies) or having babies... etc.
First you need to look at colours - they tell you which comic is which
I made that mostly for Otto and Julia - it's all about them and all the main story goes according to all books (Harry at Petunia's, Sirius in prison and dying 37). But there's one important thing - Julia hasn't hexed the curse - so she's just normal girl like any other -stays cute and feminine as nobody raped her (she was muggle-born). She was saved by Otto and between them something started. All the next pages are about their family and all get into funny way ;D
Comic with specials:
This story goes into COMPLETELY different direction, we focus on Sirius and Julia, I mean Sirius and Julia meet much faster (when they're 20), but Julia has curse on and was raped. Sirius replaces Otto in the story and takes care of her and Harry... Otto just stays aside. This story has plenty of hurtful twists and emotionally is hard - that was the point I wanted to push it. Imagine that James survives... all that changes to story upside-down.
All comic here
Pics to the blue comic
This story was made as I felt guilty of the blue one - as it all got so sad. It's a trial for myself -wanted to check if I'm able to make everybody happy. So... Sirius saves Julia BEFORE the rapes, which is very important. Julia stays cute, naive and innocent... she has curse on, yet she hasn't got her ironic sassy personality that Otto likes so much - what's more... Lily stays alive (the same James). I just wanted to see how it goes -cursed Julia and Sirius are together... and Otto is confused between Lily's personality and Julia's look -(as for him in the main story it was one person). It's also the point to make happy life for Sirius and Julia.
Comics (not finished)
pages 1 - 17 (specials included)
pages from 18-39
Pages from 40-51 + specials (UPDATE)
Well I hope it helped a little bit.
It was more for fun and to confuse you ;D
UPDATE: new pages (2 of them mostly finished, if I submit maybe just specials) But pink I wan to keep on...
Hi watchers, I'm aware my stories are quite mixed -but that's my point to discover the story not chronologically but more interesting - I'm creating 3 stories simultaneously I mean I jump simultaneously between 3(or more) different period of times, so just a little explanation like I did with Sirius and Julia. I guess only Tranki who follows my story can handle it.. (thanks dear :**) so I want to give you a few tips how to read my stories. Maybe it will be easier to follow...
Thanks also for yinyangswings water67 kiky0925e and all people who leave comments and faves - I really appreciate your support and I know I upload quite often ^^'
Anyway I feel I need to explain you all the complex relation between Sirius, Julia and Otto... there'll be a moment I'll join all of them and move forward into the story when Julia is 37.
Julia Schell is main hero in all the stories, so I will just try to bold her age here.
Julia 20-24 -( +James and Lily, young Otto, Sirius in depression)
First story according to the timeline is comic The Poor thing.
It's the earliest time of the story from the perspective of Otto little bit - but we can se 20-year-old James and Lily there with Sirius looking for Julia while is it at the hospital rescued after the rapes. I've created so far some pages there will be more. Mostly when you see Jim and Lily you know it's that time. Otto can look the same...
Julia - 24-34. (Julia and Otto's story)
The Poor thing comic will finish exactly the moment Otto meets Julia for the first time (so when he turns 22). Most of that time when Julia is 24-34 - it's the story with Otto and many comics which I show you (they're mostly funny so I like drawing them). Probably you notice I constantly stick to 26-year-old Julia, and 24-year-old Otto - you can also recognise when it's that time -as Harry is small cutie (it's nice clue to look at).
This story is still going on and I jump from Julia being 26 sometimes to her 30 - to show you the beginnings and endings of this relation before Sirius' return.
Starting from ignoring Otto's charms completely (Julia 24, Otto 22)
To stronger relation (23-24 Ot, 25-26 Julia) which is mostly effect of Julia's learning animagus form but as well as Otto's growing up and caring
Then Otto gets attached so much he can't leave her or Harry anymore where Julia or Harry want to keep him by. They start to remind a family and Julia and Otto a married couple.
Important role (and crucial point in the story is comic "Pretending" as it shows actually Julia's change of feelings and... how from ignoring Ot completely she starts to have some feelings for him) It's not finished story as well - but discovered part by part.
I also jump into the story when Julia is about 30 -to show you how strong relation has been created, and that Julia believed Ot really loves her.
Julia 35-40 (Sirius and Julia's story)
It's mostly time when Sirius gets back and the comic Reunion - this story is especially hard as two lovers who haven't seen each other for 20 years -still engaged meet two similar but different people they recall from their childhood. Julia hasn't changed with her look a lot, but with her personality, while Black hasn't changed much with his behaviour yet with looks...
It's still not finished.
Apart from that dark story, I jumped to 'reunion' time, - this moment is easy to notice, just look at Harry - when he's teenager already (starting from 13).
We can see Black is confused by Otto by Julia's side.... and he's probably not alone ;)
Sirius tries to understand why Otto is so close- and competes with him, which is not easy as he spent many years in prison, needs to get know Julia again and Otto has been living with Julia and Harry for almost 13 years.
So far... I never go farther than Julia turning 37...
It will be continued.
