Sketches For :icontornrose24:'s "Only A Voice"!

During the weekend, I got inspiration from Moana fanfiction and I was feeling a bit down the whole week, so I drew some sketches of "Only A Voice"... more specifically Tamatoa and SNJ (my fictional self) moments that happened while reading it, whether it's my reactions to it or some Author Notes.


From left to right:

1) "Kidnapped"- In earlier chapters, I commented on how I really liked Tamatoa's bioluminescent state and jokingly said "Take me away!". Next chapter in Author's Notes, the giant crab does exactly that, flirst with me, and decides to take me out scaring monsters in Lalotai as a "date". This caught me by surprise. So I tried to practice claws and picking up tinies for the sketch. I also cannot draw crabs or shells for my life.

2) "Scaring Date"- What the "date" would have looked like. Not only did I want to practice Bio!Tama's head and eyes, I also wanted to design a bioluminescent version of myself. I went with purple and red colors for the skin. Yes, underneath the mask is sharp teeth. I will make note of this in a future reference sheet. I really love how the colors came out in this.

3) "Waiting to be eaten"- AFter reading chapter 8, I was so flustered and shocked in disbelief, it was hard to concentrate. I drew myself huddled in a corner, comtemplating about my life as I await to be eaten while Tama is just staring down at me.

4) "Hug"- On Valentine's Day after reading a chapter, I hugged one of Tamatoa's dactyls (legs) just for being an inspiration for me.

5) "Sparkling Mic Drop"- In an earlier chapter review, I commented an idea of Tama singing something against Maui (specifically "You're Welcome"). A few chapters later, it happens (in a fitting situation to boot!). I commented that the moment needed a mic drop. In the recent A/N, Tama drops his own shiny mic. That's me fallen to the ground and giving a thumbs up. I wanted to try out different poses.

6) "Why did I get the strange one?"- Random shot of my Human Tamatoa holding me. When I originally drew this, I had the headcannon in mind that Tamatoa finds some humans to be weird, especially ones who have certain desires and interests (*cough* Me *cough*). He would have been conflicted with one of his biggest fans being into certain things. Wanted to practice drawing giant body shots.

7) "... But I bet mine'll top yours~"- An actual scene/pull-out from Chapter 11 (I will not say what it is due to spoilers). I tried to make my take unsettling and dangerous to look at and when I imagined it, I thought he would be waving it mockingly.

8) "Not in that way!"- In my spare time, I read some stories aloud and hear my recordings to practice my voice acting. When I did voices for Chapter 11, there was this one moment near the end where I'm voicing Tamatoa and I adlibbed a line "Ugh... I feel like I'm gonna burst" followed by a couple of moans. Now taken out of context and listening it on repeat, it sounded like Tama got a bellyache. So I drew a quick thing of Tama shaming me while I get embarrassed. Also a SNJ thing: anytime I'm roleplaying as a character, the name of the character appears on the mask.

9) "Crabzilla!"- AKA what I crave! After reading the recent chapter, I got excited. If you know me well, I really love when giant monsters/predators rampage and cause massive damage. I drew a short comic where I want Crabzilla, Tamatoa doesn't, and I basically offer him shiny things to get what I want. Again, I'm still working on drawing animals, so the human form would have to do. I'm actually glad how the giant foot came out. I also drew some stick figures running away.

I hope you guys like this and forgive a weirdo like me. :XD:

If anyone likes this, comment and/or fave please!

Thank You and Enjoy~

These are neat! I do love the use of the neons for the first few. :)
The 'I'm going to burst' was really amusing but it DID fit the situation and what was about to happen. It WOULD have been funny if he did explode, now that I think about it. I DOUBT the clean up crew would have liked that one.
The hand part is pretty close to how I imagined it. I kind of saw him as showing the back of the hand, but the front side works too.
Ah crabzilla. Truly there is fun to be had when you get a large shiny opponent to face off against.
