♦️Wheel of Fortune♦️

🥀Characters: Cassius & Blake🥀

The card of destiny, of turning points, but also the card of breaking cycles.

I've wanted to design tarot cards based on me and @lostdemonnn 's story, and was struck by inspiration last night. It's been a long time since I stayed up till 1 in the morning drawing, but it was fun!

I hope you like it, I'm very happy with how it turned out. Thinking of posting a speedpaint on YouTube too.

[Speedpaint] Starlight

[nanosuklaa]

✨Experimental painting✨

"There once was a young man who'd go out every night to admire the night sky. The moon bathed the land in a blue glow, glimmering stars like gemstones speckled across the sky - a sense of serenity unlike anything else.

One day, a lone star fell from the sky, its warm glow was comforting in the harsh cold of winter. The young man felt a spark when it planted a soft kiss atop his nose. A kiss from somewhere far beyond, up in the night sky.."

~~~ Realized I've been in art block for who knows how long, to solve my problem? Well, try a new technique as well as draw/paint my dearest..! 💕

There's many artists whose coloring techniques I admire so, so much, I tried to learn a bit from them while working on this! I'm very happy with the result ✨ Also, I’m gonna post a speedpaint of this soon! Check it out on my YT if you want!

Unguarded - Original story

A gentle melody echoes in the empty hallways of the Palace alongside my footsteps. It's a melody that strikes me somewhere deep, makes me halt in place. A wave, warm but heavy hits me. Under its weight I sink to a place distant, a place far from Roseland’s reflective marble floors and grand drapery. A place in my memories, in my heart, I could hear its beat quicken.

The piano’s keys continue to play that familiar melody. Yet that was the only familiar thing within this hall, I yearned for something that’d remind me of the distant place this melody echoed from. So my gaze lowered, to meet with the reflection beneath me, in the Palace’s polished marble floors.

Silver hair, purple eyes. They glistened, like amethysts poets would say, but I’m not a poet. I’m just a person, a lonely person far from home, a person whose eyes didn’t glisten like amethysts, but because tears welled up in them. A moment of weakness that I allowed myself, it was only me in this hallway, me and my stack of papers. Plans and schedules, to guard the Palace, even if I'd rather be somewhere else protecting something else entirely.

I close my eyes. Come now, Oliver, there’s no need to shed tears.. be a bit stronger, get away from this place. An Axinian crying in the halls of Roseland’s prized jewel, the Palace.. could it get more tragic, more ironic than this? I wipe away my tears, forcing the bit in my throat to go down as slowly the amethysts change to fit the red shade of my uniform, my hair changes to a blond. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.

Don’t be afraid, Oliver.

No, no more tears. Yet the melody continues to echo. That familiar melody. A piano. Just like..

I had to find the source. For once in my life, determination pulled me onwards. Not a hint of hesitation in sight. I’d find the source of that melody. In this life that felt like a cruel joke, at least I had been blessed with music. One thing we all had common. Surely music meant just as much to some rosenian out there.. perhaps to the one playing this tune, in the middle of the night..? I felt a connection to this person, the fact we both traversed the halls of this horrible Palace, listening to this song that sounded so mellow and melancholic, yet comforting all the same.. there had to be something we shared. I sensed it, and that sensation was something I had yearned for the many months I’ve been stationed here.

I reach the entrance of the ballroom, the smaller one situated in a more secluded part of the Palace. The grand doors are slightly agape, letting me peer into the moon-lit room. The blue light shone over the reflective floors, through the tall glass windows lined with satin curtains, and in the middle there resided a lonely piano. A piano that played a melody just as lonely.

I stood there, mesmerized, gazing at the moon and the piano. It really was that melody, that exact melody. If I just closed my eyes I could imagine myself, in that place..

Suddenly, the music stops.

I snap my eyes open, the silence was deafening, foreboding. Intimidating enough to make me take a step back, perhaps I’d made a mistake, one of many.

“Come in.”

A voice calls out, it was softer than I imagined, but recognizable, too recognizable to make it comforting. I glance around, going over the options I have, but fleeing would make me all too suspicious. With a hesitant step, I enter the ballroom. I felt more at home in the shadows, but now the moon bathed me in its light as I stood in this empty ballroom. I felt bare, unguarded. Even if there laid a sword on my hip, it felt like even that didn’t truly belong to me. It was part of someone else’s life, not mine. It was part of Henry’s life, not Oliver’s.

“Might I inquire your name?” Oliver Everett. “Henry Alvaro.” Did it sound like a lie this time? Something about my tone was different. I was supposed to be the one good at shielding my identity, yet with each passing day I feel I’m becoming more see-through than glass. Especially when he’s the one piercing me with his gaze.

“Ah, the guard captain’s assistant, we met some time ago.” Alewar Albert. The first of the Queen’s Servants. I remember him well. As I hear him stand from his seat, uncertainty tugs at my heart. The piece I had forced down now resurfaced into my throat. Is this really the person I felt so deeply connected to..? Another cruel joke in a chain of cruel jokes?

“What brings you here?” He asks, I stand with my back straight, for once I was thankful it was part of guard etiquette to look straight forward when spoken to. “I heard you play the piano, sir.” I look somewhere far away, past the walls surrounding the Palace, the capital, Roseland.. somewhere much further than that. “It reminded me of.. home.”

“Home?” He inquires. Alewar’s tone is strangely soft, perhaps he did not feel the need to put on a front in the presence of a mere guard. “Yes, home.” A place far away.

My shoulder’s fall, why can’t I force that piece down?

“There is something different about you, Henry Everett.” I break etiquette and look over, the distance between me and the servant somehow makes me feel safe doing so. Perhaps I can’t see his red eyes quite so clearly from here. “Something.. elegant, something rosenians don’t usually have.”

“Are you not the very face of elegance, sir?”

I do not know how to feel upon hearing his words. Are they a compliment..? Yet his word choice makes my stomach sink.

“Some say that yes, but when it comes to rosenians.. it’s different, I’ve noticed. From all the way over here, I could even imagine your hair being silver and eyes amethyst.” My guard was lowered. Hurriedly, I look away, my posture tenses once more. Henry Everett. That’s who I am, that’s who I need to be, there’s no room for Oliver in this palace, in this ballroom. Fear rages within, had he seen through me? For how long had my disguise failed?

“Could I ask you to come here?” He asks, I look to him, then to the floor, at my reflection. Ruby red, just like they should be. I’ve no right to refuse his request, even if the gentleness with which he asks makes it seem as if I did. Slowly, I take a step toward the piano, toward the Servant. I had the time it’d take to reach him to compose myself.

“Henry Everett..” He says my name once more, there’s a curious glint in his eyes, it makes my heartbeat quicken. “Tell me about your home.” “My home, sir?” “Yes, I’d like to know why this song reminded you of it.”

I look down at the piano, it too was pristine and perfect, nothing like the old one at home. But that one was more approachable, more inviting.. I could never play a single key on a piano like the one before me now. It too, like everything else in this palace, was intimidatingly graceful. “I have..” a sister “..a cousin who liked to play that song.”

“I see, Memory of Snow, an-” “Axinian piece, composed by Adrian Valero.” I broke etiquette yet again. Yet I didn’t rush to correct myself. To repair the damage, I add: “You play the song beautifully, sir.”

“..your eyes really are amethyst.” The comment causes my gaze to shoot over to the man. His peering gaze, ruby eyes, pierce me, pierce me in a way that causes my everything to tensen up. My heartbeat stills completely, for a moment it was as if it stopped forever, did the man have that kind of power? To kill with his gaze alone?

I had loosen my guard. Quickly I look away. Another mistake I had made. I should’ve kept my distance. Thousand thoughts run through my mind, yet it also feels empty, my fears have space to run around aimlessly as much as they please. I should’ve known, I should’ve known. Talking of home.. how could I fall for such a-

“Or at least, it sometimes feels as if you do. I can very well see your eyes are red as ever, and your hair isn’t silver, but.. it’d match you, Henry.” Now there wasn’t even fear in my mind. “It’d.. match me, sir..?” Carefully, I look over once more. The fact that we did not share the same traits felt all the more apparent now, standing here like this.

“You have that kind of feeling to you. I can’t put my finger on it, but it seems to be a trait many Axinian’s share. But don’t mind that, an unnecessary observation made by someone who’s nothing better to do.” In that moment, I got a hint of that connection I felt when I rushed here. Had he, too, lowered his guard..? Even if just slightly? “It appears to be quite late, I’m sure you’ve many things to attend to.” He turns around, hands behind his back, he looks at the moon above, I can tell he too is looking somewhere far past it. A thought springs to my mind.

“Could I make one request, sir?” “Hm?” There’s a glint in his eyes, one I’d never seen on his features before. “Could you play that melody one more time?”

And here’s a little story I wrote! Not sure if anyone will see or read this, but if you did, thank you very much! I’m very flattered someone would take the time to read some of my writing. I’d like to post more of my stories here on Tumblr, even if no one sees them. So I think I’ll start doing that! Might post some of my older stuff too, since I have a lot of stories with these characters!

All the characters here are original characters and so is the universe it takes place in.

For context: the main character in this particular short story, Henry or Oliver, is an Axinian spy working in the capital of Roseland. All axinians have silver hair and purple eyes, while rosenians have red eyes and natural hair colors. Henry has to disguise himself and uses a special ability to change his features. Henry Alvaro is his fake name, while Oliver Everett is his real name.

Also make sure to check out @lostdemonnn , we are co-writers working together on this story!

Henry ref sheet timeeeee (+info)

Did this for a thing, my boi Henry is an OC that belongs to the same story as Cassius, Albert and the rest of the gang. (A story I'm co-writing with the wonderful @lostdemonnn)

He's an Axinian spy working as a guard in Roseland, thanks to his ability that let's him alter his appearance just slightly he manages to blend in.

In this story, all Axinians have purple eyes and silver hair. Meanwhile Roseland's people have red eyes but their hair color can be pretty much anything. Hence why Henry had to change his eye- and hair color to fit in.

🎃Halloween Kazumi🎃

[My commissions are open! You can find my commission info by clicking here! You can also find it on my IG @ nanosuklaa]

I had a lot of fun drawing Cassius in a Halloween outfit, and really wanted to draw another one! I chose Kazumi and drew him as a werewolf, I love drawing big ol' jackets with fluff ✨

I fixed up this drawing a LOT, as my lines are usually pretty messy, but this time I had a relaxing time cleaning it up! It’s satisfying to see how much it cleared up, you can see the original sketch yourself in the last pic

OC trivia: Kazumi would dress up his three cats Ka, Zu and Mi and take them with him, this way he won’t look too scary to children and they can pet his cats ✨

(Kazumi belongs both to me and @lostdemonnn, would love to do more with our drummer boyo ✨)

Who said adults can’t dress up for Halloween? 👀 (Originally made for a challenge on Artfol)

Cassius is definitely out to give heart-attacks to innocent bystanders, and especially to Albert this Halloween. But shhh, don’t let anyone know he has a secret stash of the best candies in Roseland reserved for Blake and Blake only-

Cassius: trick or treat?

Albert: stop playing around like a child and-

Cassius: trick huh? Not like I was gonna eat those sweets myself anyhow..!

While Albert did not have candy, somehow Cassius ended up performing a great candy heist. The treasure he hauled off somewhere. No one knows where. What they do know, however, is that Blake definitely seemed very hyper ever since Halloween ended.

My commissions are still open, my fall break just started and school-wise life is starting to calm down. I'll probably enjoy my fall break, but after next week I could start drawing! Feel free to message me if you're interested ✨

✨ Commissions are open! ✨

I’ll start working on commissions next week, as I still have tests this week and a graduation party to go to. But next monday I’ll be able to fully focus on everything!

But if I have time, I might sketch even earlier than that. If you could spread the word I’d really appreciate it! And hey, if you’re interested feel free to message me ✨

⚠️ !Blood Warning! ⚠️

Back from the grave with a drawing I've been working on-and-off ✨

School's keeping me super busy and in general haven't had time for art things, but that being said I enjoy taking it easy and working on art whenever I feel like it!

Wanted to draw something bloody and this is a scene for Cassius' story.. ouch. I experimented a lot with this, from the colors to even the detailed hair for a more edgy look, plus I discovered this blur thing can be used to give the art a flowy feel totally on accident haha! I like it though!

See you again.. soon(?)!
