Or
The lake
Seems like the girls are back with a new Collab.
So this is an idea I had from the Christmas holiday pic of last year where Tak possibly may or may not have helped Elisa and Clara by lending her place for a photoshoot, that after that they would have wanted to do an actual collaboration.
Elisa and Clara had the idea of trying out something more artsy and Take has always wanted to try doing some body painting, so after talking about it for some time they finally decided to do it. They had some ideas but the one they ended up liking the most was a picture where Elisa appears like a sun set in front of the night sky... Or something. They found a nice spot at a park next to a small lake or river and took some pictures to have as reference for the painting.
A fun thing about this one is that I kind of feel the main piece is actually sort of secondary to the behind the scenes pictures I like to do with Elissa and Clara.
Like a scene of the three of them discussing the idea while Tak starts sketching out some stuff on Elisa. Having some fun while they get ready, still not realizing how truly ambitious their plan is or, maybe just a bit. Elisa and Clara have never done a photoshoot like this out in the open but they're kind of excited.
One of the challenges that Tak has considered but they haven't is that the park is closed at night. And Tak being used to this kind of thing from her secret life as a graffiti artist is that the other two wouldn't consider to wear discreet dark clothes as camouflage while they went through the fence and set the equipment.
Another mistake they didn't consider was the paint rubbing out of Elisa and into her robe while they were on their way there.
Luckily Tak brought her paintings just in case they would need some last minute fixes and was able to cover the parts that got erased but they didn't consider how cold the night would be and how much time it would take for the paint to dry. Poor Elisa, spoiler alert but she did get a cold from this...
Luckily what helped was the big lights they brought, which I find funny as it seems every time I draw these girls their equipment seems to get more and more professional. The big lamp helped Elisa to be less sold during the photoshoot and thus, after all that ordeal, they managed to get their picture.
“Next time, we'll go with the Spider-Man suit” Said Elisa on their way home.
These wer fun to make.
And none of this is canon of course lmao.
This would be the third time for Tak appearing in the Chill guys section of this page making her take the lead! Which just makes sense for me, I guess, coming from the visual art world, she's the more casual about nudity and sex between the WornDown Children.
Not that the rest of the band are prudes or anything. Tak’s just built differently. She's spiritually European in that specific sense.
I had this idea, [and spoiler alert, in case I do end up doing so skip the next paragraph] for a running gag in the comics, where over time we would discover that Tak has seen every member in the band group naked at least once, to comical effect. Unfortunately the comic has been moving slowly. Especially lately but I want to start working on that again soon. I just have been busy with commissions and all that.
And lastly, regarding the possibility of Elisa being RJ’s brother, which I haven't decided to canonize yet, but if that were the case, I think Tak just hasn't realized it on her own. She has ADHD and all that, and neither RJ nor Elisa would know Tak hangs out with the other.
It would take someone else realizing it for them and telling them for them to know.
But none of this is canon so who cares lmao.
