White Lily redesign!!

-

I’m genuinely surprised by how often she’s praised for her "beauty," even though her design is, to put it mildly, questionable. Among the Ancients, there are good examples of storytelling through design—Goldie, for instance, whose outfit and hair reference her connection to the sun. Lily, unfortunately (or fortunately?), doesn’t make the cut.

Now, onto the main points.

I. The Mismatch Between Name and Design

The first thing that stands out is that Lily doesn’t evoke the imagery of an actual lily flower. Why is most of her design dominated by dark green? If she’s named after a white lily, why does her appearance focus more on the stem and leaves rather than the flower itself?

In the Korean version, her name translates to "Holy Lily," which immediately brings to mind purity, innocence, and lightness. Yet her outfit, on the contrary, looks dark and visually weighs her down, contradicting the idea of holiness.

If her design used lighter tones—white, pastel green—she would appear much more delicate and true to her name. Imagine her in a dress resembling lily petals: long, flowing, with soft draping. This would emphasize her gentle nature and spirituality, especially given her role as a symbol of freedom. (This is something I tried to achieve in my redesign, and I think it turned out quite well.)

And another question—what’s with the bandages on her arms? Frankly, it just reminds me of the edgy OCs every other artist drew between 2017 and 2020...

II. Wasted Symbolism

A real lily has prominent pistils and stamens. In Lily’s design, they only appear as small pink accents in her hair. Why not use them more effectively—for example, incorporating pink into her clothing or accessories? This would strengthen the floral association and possibly hint at her connection to Dark Enchantress.

III. Lack of Visual Transformation

My final point concerns her story arc. According to lore, Lily was rebaked and corrupted. Yet, her appearance remains unchanged. This creates visual dissonance—why introduce such a major plot twist if it isn’t reflected in her design?

In my redesign, I explored how her split self could manifest visually. For example:

1) Her dough became darker—a result of rebaking.

2) Her hair gained pink gradients, directly referencing Dark Enchantress’ design, where pink is a key color.

3) Her cloak developed an unnatural purple gradient, symbolizing decay. The idea was to suggest that Lily, through her own foolishness, lost part of herself—her original purity and, by extension, her freedom.

Ideally, this would add depth to her character and make her story more compelling.

Personal opinion but I feel like golden cheese would hate white lily way more then she hates burning spice and this is my (very short) presentation on why

[rawaso]

Here's your boyo when he's not partially hidden behind someone else lol. Thought you might want to see him in full. Really do hope I did him justice, he wasn't easy for me haha

I’ve already said everything before BUT OMG HONESTLY I love how he turned out in your art!!! Not only do you draw incredibly beautifully, but you also captured the character insanely accurately. Merchant, thank you so much again, I absolutely adore you as a content creator, you have no idea 🙏

Жена кормит 💋💋💋

Mom said it's my turn on the burningcheese ngl i wanted to post the sketches with burningcheeses first... but I couldn't just miss the pepperjack situation the pepperjacks belong to these people: @sunny-sourzii @estarletnova @ewitsewwie @rawaso and @burningcheese-merchant the liquid girl is cheese fondue cookie... she's an older sister of rawaso's pepperjack the ref is old!!!

[rawaso]

THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND SILLY!! Gently holds

MERCHANT, I LOVE YOUR ART VERY MUCH 😭💖 I am very pleased that my boy was drawn by you THANK YOU!!

I have so many emotions now that I don't even know what to say 😭😭 I love tumblr's Burningcheese fanbase so much... You're all so nice here I'M IN TEARS

I can't help but mention how beautiful their designs all are!! All artists have such golden hands :3

Worst artist in the BurningCheese community decides to get uppity (again), makes fankid collage/group photo in celebration of us all sharing a brain cell

Left to right:

Leftmost is @stories4eve 's (1)*

Little bro being a nuisance up north is @sunny-sourzii 's (2)

To their right, and to the immediate left of the middle one, is @estarletnova 's (3)

Middle Pepper Jack, aka the best and coolest and most adorable one, is my little guy

Pepper Jack immediately to the right of mine is @ewitsewwie 's (5)

And then next to that, furthest right, is @rawaso 's (6) I'm still extremely sorry for thinking yours looked too similar to mine. What a fucking blunder honestly. I need new glasses

Bonus panel featuring my little guy's sister, titled "I Got Really Tired At The End And Just Wanted To Scribble". There are suddenly six versions of Matar Paneer's brother, at least one of them not even being a boy(?), and she is extremely confused. Either somebody explains to her what's going on or she starts stabbing the other 5 with her katar because she thinks they're evil doppelgangers of some sort

If any of the artists tagged here want the individual doodles of their kiddies just let me know. I made sure to save them all before editing them together. I'll send them to your ask box(es) or something

*I'm sorry to Eve for changing your kid's look. I honestly could not make sense of his appearance no matter how hard I tried. The other ones were difficult enough for me as they were lol. I did this for my own sake. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse creepy atmosphere

[rawaso]

Thinkin about how even if Max wasn't killed by the maimtron, his head would've exploded anyway because it caught on fire. And even if he somehow hadn't died, he probably would've had permanent brain damage from when they fucking electrocuted him and he lost his memories.
