It's not very often that I upload my drawings, but I just finished this piece and I am extremely proud of it. I wanted to try something different but I just didn't know what, so I went on one of those drawing prompt websites and it gave me a really angsty prompt with different shades of purple for a colour palette and just from that alone I knew I had to draw RE5 Jill.
I'm just PRAYING I manage to keep this art style because I somehow seem to change it without realising... I need some consistency when it comes to my drawings lmao
My fav part of fictional romances is the "we are friends in love but we aren't sure if it's mutual so it's a dance of looks and touches and words but never confessions out of fear of breaking our hearts" phase. If this phase is long I am happy and having the time of my life
I decided to go back and go through the Umbrella Chronicles official novelization again b/c I was in the mood to look at some of the quippy dynamics between Chris and Jill had in there (If anyone wants to read the novel in its entirety, you can find it here).
Here's what I have pulled up so far in the beginning with The Mansion Incident part:
“That’s unlike him, leaving a rendezvous point”, Jill wondered. (Referring to Wesker not being in the foyer where her and Chris left him to investigate noises in the dining room)
“You think something happened?”
“Well, I do have a bad feeling about this…”
“I thought something was off with this mission from the beginning”, Chris agreed.
“Maybe we should take bad foreboding more serious.”
“What would you do now? Listen to your bad feeling and get away from here?” he asked.
“You know what? When I hear a strange sound during the night, I can’t get back to sleep until I found out what caused it.”
“Roger that. Then we have to go on until you can go back to sleep again.”
Jill had to laugh. “Thanks, Chris. I didn’t think you could be so considerate.”
Now on this one, I think the Remakes/Re-Imaginings kind of retconned this due to the picture on Jill's desk in the STARS office at the RPD Station:
Chris agreed, anything was possible in this mansion. A dead dog was running towards them a moment later. The flesh on its flank was ripped off, exposing the ribs underneath. Some intestines were hanging out, dragging behind. However, this didn’t stop the dog from attacking the two Alpha Team members with an enormous speed - but neither of them panicked. A short glance at each other and then Chris stopped the dog with a single shot. The creature was lying on the ground, jerking, trying to get back on its feet, but before it could do that, Jill shot it in the head.
“You’re lucky that you’re not a dog person.”
“That’s right, I prefer cats. Well, the living ones, if you know what I mean.”
This one I just thought was cute in a dorky way:
The two were following a hallway on the second floor which led them into another room. Again and again zombies were showing up, attacking them, longing for their flesh.
“Those things are tough sons of bitches”, Chris complained.
“Hey, don’t forget that you’re in the company of a lady. Do you at least know how to apologize?”
“Whoops, pardon me… I am so, so sorry that I used such bad vocabulary, my lady”, Chris answered, blowing off a zombie’s head.
Get a load of this one:
They were in a library.
“Damn, this one is superior to the library in my old high school.”
“Wait, you visited a library during your time in school? I can’t believe it”, Jill said mockingly.
“Of course! This was where I had my dates. No one came in to disturb us.”
“That’s not what libraries are meant for.”
“I didn’t do that…”
Encountering Yawn:
"What a snake… unbelievable…”
It was understandable that Jill could not believe her eyes. She saw a head, so big that a bed would’ve fit on top of it. The snake made an intimidating hissing sound.
“I bet a dime that this thing is venomous”, Jill said, putting her gun back into the holster and took out her machine gun.
“I’m in! And who of us should find out?”, Chris asked, putting a new magazine into his machine pistol.
“I suggest you let it bite you, then we know!”, Jill replied and continued firing. 600 bullets per minute were fired through the room, directly into the target."
And here they are there looking for the serum for Richard while Rebecca stays with him:
“We have to help Richard”, Jill said.
“You usually use a serum if venom is involved”, Chris answered. “The question is, if we can find a serum for a monster snake’s venom around here.”
Jill was confident, “This huge snake was definitely created here, so there has to be a serum somewhere.”
“I just hope you don’t have any false expectations…."
“If we look for it, we’ll find out. We have to do anything to get Richard out of here alive. That’s our duty, dammit!”
“So you’re not giving up as long as there’s a chance left?”
“Exactly. Just like the rookie”, Jill replied. “That’s right, the new rookie is a tough one. She seems calm and determined although she’s probably been through a lot. She was tired but she didn’t give up.”
“Yes, she’s trying to give her best in every situation.”
“Just like me, you wanted to say?”
“Yes, just like me. She’ll make it. She will survive”, Jill stressed. “She’s tough. She is capable. And luck will be on her side.”
“Just like you?”
“Just like me, Chris.”
I kind of wish they would let them banter more like this in the games, not exactly like this but something similar anyway. I guess they can't do that since we never really have them paired up that long in a game, especially when one is looking for the other, *sighs*.
(I'll be adding more to the post when I have more time!)
Seriously can’t we have them quipping like this in a possible remake of RE1 again?
It was dogs, dark dogs with terrifying snouts. And of course they were already dead. Chris and Jill fought them with precise shooting and fought their way through the next few areas. Then they reached a pool filled with water, blocking the way. If they wanted to reach the door on the other side, they had no choice but to cross this pool. After everything they’ve been through so far, swimming didn’t seem to be the best idea. The water shimmered like oil and didn’t look very inviting.
“There’s a drain on the other side”, Jill called. “I’m sure we can open it with this!”
Jill ran towards a crank next to the sluice and started to use it. The sluice opened and the water disappeared. When the water level decreased stones became visible, creating a path through the pool. There was a ladder attached to the pool’s edge and they were able to climb down.
“After you, please”, Jill said.
“I thought it’s ladies first.”
“Funny that you come up with this now.”
Oop is Jill becoming self-aware?
“The atmosphere in this mansion is really upsetting”, Chris mentioned at some point. “If only it was properly lit. It’s really hard to see in here.”
“This mansion is gigantic, it’s almost like a maze”, Jill added.
“This is taking too long!”
“I think that’s exactly the reason why they built it like that.”
“You mean for entertainment?”, Chris asked.
“Exactly”, Jill replied. “I have the feeling someone built this so that we have our work cut out for us. This almost feels like a videogame!”
Little encounter with the Neptunes 🦈:
It came towards Jill, mouth wide open, two rows of razor-sharp teeth aimed at her. Jill could clearly see the shark moving its little, malicious eyes while preparing for its attack. She stayed calm, nonetheless. And then the shark lunged at her as if it wanted to rip its victim’s upper body apart. She grabbed the railing and jumped in the very last moment. The shark jumped underneath her and she landed on top of its back, ramming her knife into its head with all her strength. The shark jumped and Jill fell off and landed on the other side, directly in the tank. Her body sank into the dark water. Several big shadows made their way towards her immediately and when Jill saw the first shark’s teeth in front of her, she abandoned all hope – but fate was on her side. Muffled shots could be heard, the bullets flew past Jill and through the water, leaving white spiral traces. More and more of those traces showed up and one finally hit the shark which was coming at Jill. The bullet hit its head – and it worked. The shark turned around and disappeared, just an arm’s length away from Jill.
She fought her way back to the water’s surface, grabbed the railing and pulled herself up, back in the hallway.
“Can’t you aim a little better?” she complained while running with Chris towards the exit, both of them out of breath. “You almost hit me!”
“Hey, I just thought dying by a bullet might be better than getting torn apart by a shark”, Chris replied.
“That was murder!”
“Bullshit, you survived it.”
“Yes, otherwise you would’ve had it coming!”
While they were arguing they reached a door, leading to their safety. They left the room and closed the door behind them.
“Well, I guess we avoided ending up as fish food then”, Chris said, relieved.
“I just think that, as long as we’re in this damn mansion, we still might end up as dinner…”
You gotta just. Unfollow blogs that upset you. If you are so angry at a total stranger that you send them multiple anonymous messages, that is not normal. That is not healthy behavior.
