Hello my Heathens, I am Your Host Fox Roberts (The Guy not the Oc) here to Invite u once again to my Apocalypse verse, Bit of context before we get into this MASSIVE art project, basically in School for my Graphic design Final, I was told to make something Physical through digital methods, I settles on a Calendar and having a Grand idea, decided I’d make custom art for each month and theme it around how a Year looks in my Oc Verse XD, so after about a Month of work I’ve finished All 12 Art pieces of scenery, and I’m here today to share them with u all and get your feedback, this is my most In-depth project with my Characters Yet (and even my fist time really drawing 90% digitally, happy to say they Translated Beautifully) and I hope Enjoy seeing all 😊
Starting here with the cover (note these are all gonna be physically printed into an actual calendar) where I recreated the Iconic shot of my main team of characters (The Defenders) walking off into the Light, Fighting onward to the next day, not much explication needed on this one, love how it turned out, and this Intro has gone on Long enough, So without further ado
Welcome to A Year In the Apocalypse
————
January
Description: January Dose not really have a Theme of its own, so for the first month I Just did some Skull art for the Defenders, Very much took some Inspiration from Suicide squad and With the series main theme (and my favorite song) Heathens being spelt out in the Background, That mixed with the symbolism on each main characters skull makes a Great introduction to the Tone of this world
Starring the Defenders Fox Roberts (Purple), Johnathan (Red), Fawn (Yellow), Kevin (Orange), Delilah (Green) and Kyle (Blue)

November
Description: November is the Season of Valentines, the Season of Love, sad to say in the apocalypse Connections that last are hard to come by, but for one special pair, Delilah and Kyle have come together, being the main couple on the team, their Delightfully wholesome bond with each other despite what they’ve lost Made this idea a no brainer, with their Tragic origins on opposite sides, a peak at the Delusion of a world Our crazy Gal Delilah sees, and Our Dystopian Ship Delyle together, This one definitely is another showing of the Heart at the center of my worlds Insanity
Starring: Delilah and Kyle, With Cameos from the other defenders in the background (or at least how Delilah preserves them XD) also Featuring the tragic loss of Edward (Delilah’s former partner) and Erica (Kyle’s little sister)

March
Description: The theme of March is St Patrick’s day, a Time of Oddity and Greed, leading to one question “where do so many Folks get Their Loot in the apocalypse?”, well then let me introduce you to the shopkeeper, Real name James Finlay, The Apocalypse resident Scavenger, a Greedy and slightly disturbed man who Forages for Artifacts and Tools in the Dystopian wastelands to sell Back to the Survivors, a Conman and Untrustworthy Neutral party, Who often sells Magic items completely lying about what they do, and pocketing what their is of use for himself, He is only human after all, The Mask is just his way of staying anonymous in his shady line of work, But if desperate enough know he will help u, for the right price, seems even the leprechauns aren’t safe from his schemes XD, and his Near infinitely standing store of junk seems to have some Easter eggs, Can u spot them all 😋
Starring The Shopkeeper

April
Description: The Time of laughs and Easter, But don’t let your guard down, in the apocalypse ANYTHING will take a Turn for the worse, Ladies and Gents, meet Preacher a Satanic cult leader in the Apocalypse, this Nihilist Murder has been Consumed by Sin and wants to Spread want remains of the world through the Ashes of hell with him, And on a Religious holiday like Easter, he has chosen to STRIKE, with some Peeps who joined his causs (XD) and a Deity mid summon, if you yourself stumble across the sight of one of Hells preachers, Your best bet is to Run (of not laugh at this faceless guy summoning a Deity chocolate bunny XD)

May
Description: Time of Memorial, and boy is there lots of that in the Apocalypse, weather it be who’ve we lost or who has remained but become something much worse, even those with the hardest Life will miss the past, I give u Thee DefenderFather of Delilah (tho he has forgotten) and one of the Members of the Villain Organization The Insurgent, he was and is still is a Russian Soldier, but after Losing it all and going mad, he has wound up in league with some of the Apocalypse most Reoccurring villains, He may feel like it’s just another time with his War buddies and Daughter, but through his Shattered mind, he knows, The War never ended

June
Description: Even the Defenders can Have a Day off, and Summer time is the perfect excuse, Now ofc, it’s the Apocalypse and something Always goes wrong, and who ever though going to one of the Hundreds of monster infested Beaches was a good idea, is gonna have some words with Johnathan (After he’s done with this Octopi bastard), But Kaiju’s and sea monsters aside, Like their resolve to fix the unfixable world, when dead set in their goals, the Defenders stand together, their having a Fucking Day Off XD (They rent even phased by this shit anymore lol)

The Freakshow to join the fun, this was the last Drawing I did so it felt fitting to do an Ensemble Shot of all our Main Heroes, I think they’ve all Come out Wonderfully in the new Primary digital art style, and think this one best gets the Tone of my Dream series, Dark with Some Comedic Thrown in and the heart of everyone involved present, a Great representation of the Apocalypse
