The second piece of the Catalyst universe that examines the wider effects of Elise Schröder’s cult. The trauma is heavy in this one. Nomeacuerdo centers around the duo Max and Hector, who meet by chance and through each other, learn how to love and accept being loved, as well as accept their respective troubled pasts. Nomeacuerdo’s timeline spans from 1984 to 1995. Keywords: trauma (again im sorry) of the religious variety, repression, physical trauma, neurodivergence, abuse, trust, gay men in love.
*for those wondering about the story’s name, it comes from the Argentinean song “El país de Nomeacuerdo” by María Elena Wash, about memory loss and feeling directionless
2025 Maxtor sheet! I was super focused the month i did this on making them distinct and look like real people. Hector, much like the Alex problem, looks more realistic but just a little bit off from how I imagine him. I think his face is more squarish and his eyes are larger in my mind's eye, when I immediately think of him. I will keep workshopping these. Max yorue perfect, like a beautiful horse
developmental sketch of Hector's face; I modeled him partially after Eddie Spears (his look in Sleepy Hollow in particular) and like his overarching demeanor to be stone-faced, but kind.
some cuddles (designs narrowed down to their most fundamental shapes, as this was after making them 2d animation models. Max is triangular and Hector is square)
full timelines for both guys--featuring Max pre-mission and Hector pre-accident
diptych "love/want." this was pre-revamp Maxtor. i'll be real they're all fluff the two of them. it's the only way i can draw them. anyway guess how many mental illnesses they have
