Oh my god, I just found that she has made some beautiful (HORRIFYING) images of pregnant Angeltrack (?) and some sickening baby images of Railrunner (?). I'm on a horrible internet connection so it's hard for me to download and upload them, would some wonderful goon please rehost them and post them here?  E: it took me two minutes to upload it, but it's imperative to post Railrunner licking his own dick.

Oh, horrible pregnancy pictures? I'll take that up since I just discovered something new and horrifying about the pregnancy. There is one special thing to note about this picture. Other than the stomach, no other digestive organs are present. While I did say that Rollercoasters don't poop, they still have large intestine and small intestine. But they are in the second cart.  So that means that during childbirth, there is a whole new set of organs that have to be displayed. Not before, not gradual as the fetus develops, but when the actual childbirth occurs. Holy crap there would be a lot of complications if not outright death from that.  Bonus: The latter picture shows the organs responsible for fire and wood/metal bending, two organs responsible for not getting them sick, and one other special organ: quote:Sensor Gland

I've seen THE picture, I was the one who provided it. I just never saw that the organs would also be displaced during childbirth. What the hell does Miranda think? That snakes give birth from the tip of their tail?  I shouldn't have brought it up, have the latest from Miranda's illustrations from the new edition. Temple of the Red  She has now given completely up on displaying anything but four limbs and head and cart. As seen here as well.  According to Miranda, Chainlink is on the left and Razorblade on the right. Last time I checked, Chainlink was female. So either the genders have changed in the new edition or Miranda goofed.  Miranda, you should try to figure out why people would think they're twins.

Look at that second image. Since it features Razorblade and Chainlink, it's when Railrunner is bedridden after his fight with Freakshow. Referring earlier calculations of mine, we know that Roller Coasters are about 42.5 feet, or almost 13 meters long. Why would you want to be so far away from the patient's face? Is it because Miranda has completely changed her mind and now Roller coasters are just bipedal creatures with four arms? Probably not. It's just laziness. Goddamn it Miranda.

Are they the gods of the temple? Are they lamassu-style protective spirits? None of these seem that consistent with the canine-like crouching pose and generic appearance. Kind of like she just copied the lions on the steps of the New York Public Library. Ignoring what the perspective does to the architecture, the design of the temple is also such missed potential. Again, you've got a wholly inhuman creature building a temple. It's not just like a furry dragon built it, it's a giant centipede dragon that has wheels for fingers that built it. And yet it's just big blocks of brick/stone without any particular shape. I don't even know what to make of the crenelated thing in the lower left corner, and the window in the upper right is even more bland than the rest of it, and why the hell is there a wall of bricks just sitting inside the stone? Like everything else, it's a concept that could actually have something creative (temple like a circus tent? all-rails inside to make it difficult for non-coasters? most holy places hidden where only roller coasters could reach? lots of ramps and slides in the interior? long rooms for roller coasters to stretch out their trains? guard-rails around the perimeter for temple guards to roll around on?) and there's no thought put into it because it's only a backdrop for Railrunner because, let's be honest, Avatar: The Last Airbender had Aang training in an airbender temple, so of course Railrunner should train in a roller coaster temple. e: dear god why do I care enough to write that much

The bold part makes this even sadder. In "Avatar", the concept artists designed elemental temples by actually considering how people capable of manipulating water or wind would build things differently. This results in things like an Air Temple that looks like an upside-down castle built right into the walls of a canyon and that can only be accessed on the back of a flying animal. Basically (and I think I said this before but it bears repeating) the "Avatar" series are awesome and you all should watch them in spite of the fact that they partially inspired... this... The latest drawings by Miranda almost make me want to try and rationalize roller coaster anatomy but I don't know if I want any more of this taking space in my sketchbook.

^^ Oh god. She's wearing pants, around her second pair of arms. COME ON! It was Railrunner licking his groin like a cat. quote:Railrunner, like all of Between's coasters and rides for that matter have several characteristics of animals. Roller coasters, besides having human traits, show a lot of feline (domestic and big cats) characteristics such as purring, hissing, roaring, their gate, etc. Not many rides in Between carry a "natural grooming" trait (only about three "species") Normally, a coaster takes showers or bathes in some sort of body of water, but when no water is present a coaster will privately groom itself. It's rare, but lets just say that licking all those nooks and spaces - it helps to be flexible. As for college, she went to Ringling College of Art and Design. Discovered that when I found the link to Railrunner's facebook page, as that was how I got some of the missing pictures from Vertigo.

Good God this is so uninspired. What was the point in having a theme of amusement parks and their rides if Miranda doesn't even incorporate them somehow beyond anthropomorphization? It's not even that hard, have them live in/on attractions and if there was more than one coaster on the track or a multitude of bumpercars in the original ride make that what they view as family/clans/whathaveyou. This is something I just pulled out of my rear end a second ago and would be more worldbuilding and imaginative than just using human architecture. Are details that don't incorporate and fellate

Surprise surprise, the second edition of Twisted is delayed yet again.quote:Originally, I stated that it would be August before it would be available, but the publishing world is an unpredictable one and things are bound to change. With editing and the printing process - it is expected to take a few weeks. So it could be late August or September before Twisted is out. Not only that, due to life occurrences, I'm still adding in illustrations. So be patient.

Finally finished this thread. I could only read a few chapters at a time before my eyes glazed over, and if it weren't for JWKS's efforts, I doubt I would have made it at all. I remember seeing Miranda Leek's artwork come up a couple years ago in a mock thread or something, and reading about how she was TOTALLY GONNA PUBLISH A BOOK GUYS NO REALLY, and laughing it off as some teenage bullshit. Hell, when I was 13 I wrote a Star Wars fanfiction I was completely convinced I would one day get published, too. (Han Solo was going to get kidnapped, then gain Force powers and escape with the help of his totally not lame Mary Sue kids.) Imagine my surprise when I saw Twisted on Worst Things For Sale. I was surprised she put 7 chapters up as a preview, because I figured it was a normal 20-30 chapters. Still can't believe it was goddamn 66 chapters long  JWKS, you deserve a medal. Bobbin Threadbare, please continue doing whatever the gently caress it is you're doing. Also, this whole thread was worth it for the Youtube project.

Bobbin works himself too hard to get the last installment out. He goes out at night to pick up something to drink from the local minimart. He forgets that the minimart is out by the amusement park. He remembers this all too late. The next morning all that remains of the minimart is a charred wreck with 'gently caress RAILRUNNER' scrawled in the unfortunate cashier's blood. The tracks of a hundred stupid finger-wheels trail off into the distance. What I'm saying is take your time.

I wish I didn't have such an awful voice, or else I would have participated in the secret project. I hope you manage to get to the finish. I know how it is like to have something just never completed with just this little left of it. Anyway, more illustrations from the up and coming second edition of Twisted  This is after the pirate fight with Freakshow. But now the fight does not end with Railrunner passing out from concussion beam, but he gets to hang on a barrel after the destruction of Nessie.  Railrunner is revealing to Thunderbark Moonblood's sword. What is Thunderbark feeling and thinking? My guess is that he's afraid, because now Railrunner is armed with magic sword. gently caress this perspective.  This is Thunderbark injured after his fight with Ironwheel in the human world.  Railrunner is "Unleashed" (literally the title on DA) My guess is that this is him at the beginning of the final fight after drinking the deus ex potion. Goddamn it Miranda, that chest is awful.

Oh god there was more she put up on DA today. Railrunner scaling up elevator shafts. We know it's not the museum since it has only five floors, I think. So it's the skyscraper where Clare was tossed off HOW THE gently caress ARE YOU HOLDING ON?! And here is... oh god...   Sometimes I just break. There is just something that snaps in me that triggers at just seemingly random thing. It happened the first time I read the book where Black was killed by a ripoff from X-Men. It happened the second time when I saw this drawing (baby Railrunner) And it happened now. I don't know why it just happens, despite the horrid pregnancy and birth drawings. I end up being rendered to gibbering mess for a while even before I can comprehend what I was looking at. I was at first confused as of who was who. Because Railrunner should always be at front, but he's the only one who can really hold that sword. I was even trying to figure out how the front character was even holding that sword. Then I read the description. It's when Railrunner and Chainlink are raiding the prison, wearing prison outfits. Then I noticed those goddamn eyelashes on the frontal character, so Railrunner was indeed in the back. That sword. It's so... I can't actually describe it. Should the hilt be that decorated? Wouldn't those sword guards actually shatter because how weak they are? And Miranda, do you not seriously know how badges work? I don't even know the term but I know well enough that badges are uniformly striped vertically, and if you got a big patch with several levels of badges, you don't show the badge itself. gently caress this drawing. gently caress Rollercoasters. gently caress Miranda. gently caress Twisted. gently caress Vertigo. gently caress AuthorHouse Book Publishing Company. gently caress me for being addicted to this rollercoastertrainwreck.

That's clearly a wooden coaster and Railrunner is of a superior steel coaster breed!  Hm, but it has possibilities, with (Angeltrack)blue tracks and (Railrunner)red trains, the next roller coaster in this abomination quarter of the park has to be Steel roller coaster, with (Railrunner)red tracks with purple (Shadowtrack)train. As an aside, look at these two images. Chainlink is the one with the arrows, because she's a ladycoaster so she can't have the beard the other is sporting. Notice her seat piercing. And now her seat piercing has disappeared. Given that Miranda forgot about Railrunner's tattoos once, it's no wonder that a decorative useless character looks inconsistent.
