Some TSQ 1.0 Drawings
Currently we're at 2.1, but what is 1.0? It's the hidden era where I came up with TSQ, that chibi era, but I had to give it up for a tall version of my default art style... because why am I making bloodthirsty nations cute? This isn't Hetalia! There needs to be drama too.
Although I abandoned my chibi style, I'll admit it's too cute to forget it forever, so here's some old drawings with my thoughts on each of them.
Autini's Room (2 May 2025)
First of all, this is a very beautiful room. It might end up being an asset I use in a future episode.
I also want to talk about the details top to bottom left to right.
The fact bro lives in an isolated house(and he probably doesn't take care of it based on the vines on the window) tells me he's so fixated on books that socializing or doing chores is not important to him.
Random ahh vase, definitely a historical artifact he likes. What if he has a collection of them?
These four books are barely affected by the lightning and there's a reason, because it's an important part of Autini's internal conflict. Notice how he displays the title of every seasonal book except Autumn? He's ashamed of being part of that season, or is ashamed of his community.
That random marking doesn't say much but I assume I drew it to represent how he goes from A to F, to an awesome guy to a failure.
I like this random sculpture depicting Autini with a cap(to represent his pre-TSQ design) and a fetal pose. This was likely made shortly after Autini's foundation, which tells me it could've been made in the 19th century, the era when baseball caps were invented on Earth.
That board with all the post-its, don't let it fool you into thinking this guy is organized. He never reads anything anyway, it's just that he's so insecure about being messy that he fakes plans.
The other details aren't that important in my opinion, but that globe I made. Damn it's ugly. First up, it no longer fits the world I have in mind, second, my plan was to make this map donut-shaped, so this thing looks deformed.
Crystaly Sketches (6 May 2025)
I'm glad I didn't finish the canvas, because I was going to put more corny stuff here.
Anyways, I like how the cat looks, but I don't like the idea of Crystaly having one. I think it would be better if at their lowest, Crys was all alone.
That third doodle, I assume Autini said this. To explain the last two doodles further, I originally planned for Crystaly to be founded after the great war(previously the "Mogu Qiuchun" war), so when they open the history book, they cry.
Yeah, not canon anymore. Now I want Crystaly to be a victim of the great war, to witness it, and to exit without tears. With a grudge for that fascist Venomarginia? Yes. A silent grudge they keep to themselves? ALSO YES!!
Plus, I'm pretty sure before I made TSQ, I made a drawing that goes like "fun fact: They can only cry on the right eye." It looked like this:
So, crying on the left eye? That's just not accurate. (Also their human name isn't Yuri anymore it's now Crys.)
First Storyboarded Pilot Draft (8-9 May 2025)
I didn't share the first picture because there's some infodumping y'all didn't need to read, but overall, this is a pretty bad storyboard.
First up, why is everything red. This isn't Hazbin Hotel. wtf?!
Also, who the hell is Shazza? Whatever, Raka and Autini act pretty accurate as before, so I'm at least thankful for that.
I know this is vibration but it looks like Autini grew two Pikachu tails and that's hilarious.
Original Pilot Thumbnail (11 May 2025)
This looks so bad like, what are they making a queue for? Also where the hell is Zoheli? I like the colours and Autini's face(which is a drawing I might recycle if no one will notice) but that's it.
"why dis 🚡 look so mad 😭😭😭" (19 May 2025)
I love the menacing stare and the shadows. I didn't have to know Crystalians/Hibernals had a slur though.
Mayia's Peace (20 May 2025)
This is so cute I'll redraw this when life stops being a burden.
International Kicking Rakan Balls Day (21 May 2025)
I can't believe the acronym for that day is written in the background. Also I just realized Jaycize would look better if bro was less purple.
Unrealistically Healthy Relationship (30 May 2025)
A silly polyamorous couple? NUH UH!!! UNREALISTIC. Instead, let's make Autini and Mayia love each other even though her sister ruined his life, and we'll make Crystaly jealous because they're used to Hibernals reciprocating the love Crys feels for their community.
Hibernals Have two Definitions (30-31 May 2025)
This is funny for a reason only I know. Basically, these weirdos on the bottom are Venomarginians pretending to be Hibernals.
Anti-Autin Zohel(ian) Propaganda (31 May 2025)
Oh yeah, in case it's not obvious enough by the paint stains on his shirt, Zoheli is an artist.
This is definitely a scenario representing what happened before Autini and Zoheli became enemies.
Obviously that's not what happened. Something much worse happened but, I don't think Tumblr will let me talk about it. Let's just say it's a friendly fire war crime Autini did out of gross negligence.
Anti-Mayian Zohel(ian) Propaganda (31 May 2025)
That previous drawing was pretty accurate but Zoheli is misinterpreting Mayia's motives. She does smoke weed though, congrats for getting that right.
An Unfinished Comic I Made on Pride Month (1 June 2025)
This seems like a useless comic at first but I think it's still worth mentioning.
Mayia and Crystaly used to live in the same house as Autini, but now, Crystaly lives in a cave. Mayia still lives in Autini's house though.
Crap! No more stuff.
So, that's all I could show, partially because some of TSQ 1.0 is lost media. Luckily, I can recreate what has been lost.
For context, my first pilot draft was a campfire scene where the PSC members were sharing news and talking about geopolitical changes.
While I don't remember the exact topic they brought up, I decided in this recreated scene, I bring up topics from my other lost comics. (Lost comics that are still accurate)
I'm gonna kill myself AUTINI'S GRAMMAR IS AWFUL. I feel like I'm reading a countryball comic.
But yeah, here's what that campfire scene could be.
