In Homestuck I'm a big fan of the Exiles. I've come to notice that usually, one draws either Wayward Vagabond, Peregrine Mendicant or Windswept Questant, while Aimless Renegade and Writ Keeper are usually not portrayed as often.
Not that I don't understand why.
Wayward Vagabond is at first glance a goofy person, with a lot of dept. He raised a rebellion against the ceaseless war between Derse and Prospit, and was witness to a slaughter of not only the Black King but all of his friends. After this he has displayed a survivors guilt and is very hard on himself whenever he commits a mistake or gets stupid thoughts. He is also hard on other's display of stupidness. He calls himself a mayor, and wants to bring justice, as the founder of Can Town. He talks to you in a rude manner, he distrusts and dislikes royalty, he is a vegetarian and freaks out for seemingly no reason.
Peregrine Mendicant is a plain Jane. A letter carrier who will do whatever is needed to do her duty. The mail shall be delivered, even if she must kill. This was sadly the reason why Jack became so powerful, he asked her to give him the white queen's ring and white kings scepter in exchange for a package a man of law had confiscated. This was something he always asked, because someone actually doing it was hilarious. He didn't expect her to do it. With those things given, he rose to power. Unlike the Vagabond, she is very polite. She is appointed to be a queen herself, and is told to bring Jack to justice.
Windswept Questant was once the white Queen of Prospit. She is the prettiest of the Exiles, her carpace isn't as dirty as the other's. When PM came to her, explaining the bargain she had made, the queen abdicated, and gave PM the ring. She lived in a world of constant war, but seems to care for her people. Or does she? When she shows up in the game, she appoints PM, who was once her citizen to Queen. She becomes the royal advisor, having first hand experience, and tells the new queen that it is her duty to rebuild the kingdom in this new land (Earth) and put Jack to justice. This makes many ask questions about her motives. If Jack is put to justice, will she take the throne away from PM?
Aimless Renegade is the only other from Derse. He was a regulator, ensuring law to be followed. He confiscated a package, which was given to Jack Noir. So he can be percieved as one of the people responsible of the exile. He is obsessed with justice, but in the more violent form than the others. A carnivore. He saw that someone was sleeping during the fall. He stapped the person to the flight board and rescued said person. He could have died. He tried assassinate both PM and WV, but seems to have a crush on the former.
But still, people know more about the others than him. Rather sad.
So i had to draw him. But messed up. I use my Pitt pens quite like markers. Not sure if that is either cost efficient or smart, but it gives a lovely strong color. Still love my color pencils, but it comes better off on my scan if I use the pens. I didn't think that using the black pen for text might be a bad idea. It was, smearing together rather nastily. Thought that even a unsuccessful drawing was better than nothing. And I'm a fan of showing people how one can fail.
