Juno Steel and the Life Not Lived

Current | Part 2

Introducing a new Penumbra Podcast fan art series: Penumbra Snapshots!

This collaborative art creation will show the lives of our favorite space pirate found family through the lens of a communal camera!

What moments do you think would be captured? Tell me your ideas/requests for photographs; message me or leave them in the tags!

We’re going to see the chaos, the achingly domestic, and everything in between, so hand over your brain rot >:)

Be creative and have fun!

In which Peter Nureyev goes undercover at the Vixen Valley and Juno just happens to find him there. Not canon... (maybe). I’ll find out tomorrow when the finale comes out, I guess lol. 

And yes, this comic was all just an excuse to draw Nureyev as Jessica Rabbit. 

As always, click the pics for better quality. 

[ID: A five page fanfiction comic of characters from The Penumbra Podcast, in grayscale. 

Page 1: The text at the top of the page reads: “Disclaimer: Not canon (unfortunately).” The first panel shows the exterior of the Vixen Valley at night. Juno’s word bubble reads, “Come on, Vick. We both know you got the intel I need on the guy I’m looking for.” The second panel shows Vicky and Juno sitting in armchairs together inside the Vixen Valley. Vicky’s word bubble reads, “You know how this works by now, Steel. I ain’t in the habit of givin’ out anythin’ I can put a price tag on.” The third panel is a close up of profile Juno looking serious while holding a drink. His word bubble reads, “I do. Just want to make sure it’s a price tag I can afford.” The final panel shows an extreme close-up of Vicky’s grin. Her word bubbles read, “Hehehehe. I guess that depends on how badly you wanna find your ‘guy...’” 

Page 2: The first panel shows an employee of the Vixen Valley dressed in a black suit approaching Vicky, their hands behind their back. Their word bubble says, “Ms. Vicky. Your wife is on the phone for you.” A grinning Vicky responds. Her word bubble reads, “Perfect. Steel, gimme a minute. I gotta take this.” The second panel shows a frustrated Juno. His word bubble reads, “Goddamn it, Vick! You can’t just-!” He gets interrupted by another Vicky word bubble, which reads, “God, you’re such a baby.” The third panel shows Vicky and her employee walking away. Vicky grins and gestures behind her with her thumb. Her word bubbles read, “I ain’t leaving for long. Gives me time to think over our little deal. Besides, the show starts soon. And somethin’ tells me you’re gonna like it.” The final panel, which rests partially behind the third panel, shows a still angry Juno shouting to Vicky behind him. In front of Juno is a stage surrounded by tables of waiting patrons and bustling wait staff. Vicky grins mischievously in the foreground as she continues to walk away. Juno’s word bubble reads, “Vicky!” Vicky’s word bubble reads, “Don’t enjoy yourself too much, Steel.” 

Page 3: The first panel shows a close-up cartoonish version of Juno pouting (FX: “pout”). His word bubble reads, “hmph.” The second panel is the same close-up but drawn in a less cartoony style. Juno looks upward curiously as the lighting in the room changes and the show begins. The lyrics to the song Why Don’t You Do Right? by Kansas Joe McCoy and Peggy Lee begin to appear in text boxes surrounded by music notes. The third panel shows the curtains on the stage, now lit from behind by a spotlight to show off the silhouette of the hidden performer posing sensuously. In the fourth panel, Juno gapes up at the stage in interest as other patrons cheer and whistle around him (FX: “whistle” and “woo!”). The final panel shows the silhouetted performer behind the curtain doing another pose. The lyrics on this page are: “You had plenty money 1922/You let other women make a fool of you/Why don’t you do right?” 

Page 4: The song lyrics continue across this page. The first panel shows the performer sticking a long leg out from behind the curtain. The second panel shows a close up of Juno’s eyes as they widen and he blushes. The third panel shows the performer stepping out from behind the curtain and grinning, but the second panel partially covers the third, obscuring the performer’s face. We can still tell that they have round glasses, light skin, long dark hair, and long, slender fingers. In the fourth panel, we see the back of the performer’s head as they push the curtains aside. More patrons of the Vixen Valley watch with rapt attention. The fifth panel shows a close up of the performer’s high-heels as they slowly strut across the stage. The sixth panel shows a squinting Juno. His word bubble reads, “No way...” The seventh panel shows an extreme close up of the performer’s heavily lashed eye behind their glasses. The lyrics on this page are: “Like some other men do?/Get out of here/Get me some money too.” 

Page 5: The final page of the comic. The first panel takes up about three quarters of the page. It is a full view of the performer on stage, revealing him to be Peter Nureyev dressed in a Jessica-Rabbit-style dress. He poses sensuously, hand on his hip, leg stretched out, and head tilted back. The second panel shows a grinning and slightly flushed Juno with a little heart beside his head. The final panel of the comic is the moment Nureyev notices Juno is there watching him. He gasps, looking embarrassed and blushing furiously. The lyrics on this page are: “Get out of here/Get me some-.” The second line is cut off by Nureyev’s gasp (FX: “gasp”).

Making fanart for my own fanfics. Let's go!

I dedicate this lovely piece to @justablah56 and @archiveoftragedies, my two buddies who stick with me through my writing of this insane fic, Lily and Honeysuckle. I asked Blah what their favorite scene was and well.... Here we are 😁 All the love and thanks for your support. Hope you enjoy 💜

I think not many people know that Twitch Plays Pokémon actually went on to play all the games in the main series, and then started going through the spin-offs and even a lot of fan games. Back then I spent a lot of time in the TPP subreddit and people were making these incredible fan arts and really long comic series. It went waaay beyond just the memes from the original run (Lord Helix, etc) and turned into an actual story with developed characters and arcs.

I think I lost interest after year 3 or 4. However, I still visit the sub from time to time to see what's going on. The community is really small now, but the mad lads are still going at it all these years later. I have no hope of understanding what's going on now with all the alternate timelines and such, but I'm glad they're enjoying themselves. I don't think I've had quite as much fun in an online community since.

I like this style :00 but sgdhgd yes here have some fluff

a little quick draw of this scene before the new episode drops :))

Ding! One new comms call from... Duke Rose?

bitches will be vaguely unhappy with the result of a comic page so they completely start over and create a new art style (i'm bitches)

[Image ID: A comic page depicting a scene from Juno Steel and the Train from Nowhere. The page is done in a primarily black and white sketchy style reminiscent of noir comics. It starts with Juno Steel looking dejected, saying "Fine. I'm on my way. What room?" Peter Nureyev, from a holographic comms call, responds "Oh, one of Mr. Engstrom's friends will be by any moment now." Two knocks sound, and Juno looks properly annoyed. Nureyev continues, "Ah! That must be her. Don't keep her waiting! And do wear that suit I love so much, will you? I hung it in the closet for you!" Juno shouts, shocked, "You bought me CLOTHES?" Nureyev responds with a grin, "Don't say I never get you anything!" End ID]

My official review of @thepenumbrapodcast

Juno Steel and the Life Not Lived

Part 1 | Current

All inspiration credit to @notreyev and @azdesertwillow !

Juno realizes he's gotten a little too comfortable around the Aurinkos.

rita please, he’s monologuing in a dusty half-lit office. give him some space

Last page of the graphic novelization for Battle at World’s End, pt.6!

I know this didn’t really capture the whole scene; I pared it down largely to action panels for the sake of my sanity.  Hope you guys liked it!

Soooo I decided to challenge myself and do a piece for all five days of @jupeterweek this year! Eeeek! It was hard, but I did it. 

For Day One (Reunion Day), I attempted a short comic based on the scripts from the finale, but of course I had to draw !PoppedBootyNureyev. I don’t know why, but this is the pose I always pictured when I heard “knees up, popped booty....” XD I also pictured Nureyev with longer hair for some reason. 

This was a lot of fun to make but still...what have I created??? 

Please click the pictures for better quality. ID included below. 

[ID: A three page noir (black and white) comic of the final scene of Juno Steel and the Soul of the People Part Two. 

Page One. First panel shows silhouettes of the backs of Juno Steel, Rita, and Jet Siquliak’s heads as they peer into the open cargo bay of a massive spaceship. Two silhouetted figures stand inside holding hands. A dust cloud billows from beneath the ship, framing it. The edge of the Ruby 7 car can just barely be seen. The caption reads: “Finally, I cleared the sand from my eye and then I saw them in the belly of that spaceship.”   Second panel shows Juno, eye patch over his right eye, looking into the ship. The wind blows the collar of his trench coat over his mouth. The caption reads: “My future.”   Third panel shows a silhouette of Jet pushing his bike up the ramp into the ship, with a silhouette of Rita watching him from the bottom of the ramp. The caption reads: “The big guy, Jet Siquliak, pushing his bright green hovercycle onto the walkway of the spaceship.”   Fourth panel shows Rita turning back to look at Juno. She wears a small smile. The caption reads: “Rita looking back at me, eyes jittering with what I hoped was excitement.”   Fifth panel shows Buddy Aurinko, one of the figures within the ship, smiling almost smugly. She is surrounded by stars. The caption reads: “Buddy Aurinko, human fireball, red hair and hard eyes burning bright and warm in the dark, dark night.”  Sixth panel shows a close up of Buddy and Vespa’s hands clasped together lovingly.   The eighth panel shows Vespa I., the second figure from the ship, also surrounded by stars. She looks tired, mostly. The caption reads: “Green-haired Vespa I., who I barely knew, who barely knew me, looking a little less shaky than she had been but staring scimitars right through me.” 

Page Two. First panel shows the front of the Ruby 7 car, which is colored green, the only color in the whole comic. A mysterious figure sits on the hood of the Ruby 7, but they are covered by the caption. The caption reads: “The car, its engine rumbling like steady breathing.”   Second panel shows the handle of the car door on the left side of the Ruby 7.   Third panel shows the license plate of the Ruby 7. The caption reads: “The letters ‘Ruby 7′ across its license plate.”   Fourth panel shows a close up of Juno’s eye. He’s looking almost slightly surprised as he sees the figure sitting on the car for the first time. The caption reads: “And then... I saw....”  The background of the comic fades to black and the next caption, “Him”, sits alone and isolated in the center of the page.   Fifth panel shows a close up of Peter Nureyev’s sassy eyes.   Sixth panel shows a close up of Nureyev’s nose and lips.  Seventh panel shows a close up of Nureyev’s hand on the hood of the Ruby 7. His fingernails have grown long and sharp. The caption along the bottom of the page reads: “Sitting on the car’s green hood... I saw him.” 

Page Three. Full page image of Peter Nureyev posing sexily on the hood of the green Ruby 7. His knees and hands rest on the car, while his booty is indeed popped up into the air. His hair has grown to his shoulders and he wears dark lipstick. There are sparkles around his face and TONS of sparkles around his booty. And like Buddy and Vespa, around the edges of the page he too is surrounded by stars.

Made the tangled comic last night as a sort of joke au then redraw the first page digitally!
