#Laurence-Does-Art

[laurence-does-art]

While I have you here...

Hello! And fear not, for I am just a little guy trying to draw and not go insane in the current world climate.

No, but seriously, it's nice to meet you.

My name is Laurence, and pretty obviously, I do art!

I figured my Meet the Artist from this year would be a good way to introduce myself and what I do, but that's only a small snippet of stuff really. So, here is some fun info-

My name is Laurence, but I also go by:

- Lu

- Laur

- LDA

- L. (how I sign off my fanfics now)

Any of those - though I'm often just called Laurence - but I'm always open to new nicknames! (as long as they're appropriate)

I have one (1) dog, her name is Emery

I'm turning 22 on December 22nd

My pronouns are They/He

I have ADHD

I draw and write fanfiction most of the time, though you'll see me bounce between the two quite often because the ADHD beings demand my attention be split at all times

I'm in a couple of RP groups, so if you find my DeviantArt that's most what's going to be posted there (I'll also post some here but not often)

I am mainly a human artist but I've been dragged into cat hell, and thus, have also been learning to draw more feral and anthro characters as well!

My commissions are also open! If you're interested go ahead and shoot me a message here or on another platform!

I mainly choose to depict myself as a being with purple hair, pointy ears, and blue and yellow eyes! Though I also am partial to using my fursona, which is a bilby!

(If you draw me, I prefer you use the above and not how I actually look/drew my IRL self as <33)

I am an adult, which means sometimes, I may draw adult content. I DO NOT want minors to interact with that content. All pieces that need avoided will be marked with 18+ or SUGGESTIVE CONTENT. If I am made aware that you are a minor and you are interacting with content of mine of the more spicy variety, then I'm sorry but I will be taking precautions.

Aside from that, I'm pretty chill usually, so, lets just chill together.

Grab your notebooks, sketchbooks, a drink and a snack, and settle on down!

Here's a list of my current projects:

in no particular order

Praise, Devotion, and Worship (fanfiction)

Maelstrom (comic)

Necrophobia (comic)(put on hold)

A Demon's Guide for Surviving School (comic)

Tenants of Apartment 213 (story/comic)

The Aftermath (fanfiction)

Sector 2 (story)

Alright, I think that's enough out of me for now.

I'll probably be posting some things that I've worked on over the past year throughout the night, so stay tuned! Thank you all! Bye!

Welcome to Deadcember.

What IS Deadcember?

Deadcember is an event that I made a few years ago aiming to make myself cry over my OCs with various different prompts. They were just small doodles but I also ended up killing some of my friends with them too. Thus, I made a prompt list aimed towards causing emotion distress to them <3333

Where is the prompt list and rules, you fool?

I don’t have the prompt list really written down anywhere except for on spare canvases and pieces of paper (I made this challenge during high school and am just very disorganized) so I’m still compiling all the prompts for this year. I do have Day 1 already at the ready though!

It's right here!! This is the "Official Deadcember Prompt List" that I made and have gathered up for your convenience.

As for rules? Well- This is literally coming off of the back of Huevember and NaNoWriMo, so it’s just a very low stakes challenge. You’re not meant to burn yourself out with this and you’re given multiple prompts to use or not use. The goal of it is just for some good feelings relief honestly, cause holidays are stressful as hell.

Now, with that out of the way, here’s the “Official Rules” of Deadcember!

Rules:

You get a small list of words (some may have more than others honestly, whoops!) and you either draw, write, or create something in general that does or does not fit the theme(s) of the day. Like I said earlier, you’re just aiming to make yourself or your friends cry/die inside!

This is a very lax challenge, so there is no day requirement to hit to complete this.

You only did one day but it didn’t follow the list and still made you cry? Congrats! You “won” Deadcember! Very proud of you for finding the energy to do anything at all during this month <333

You did every single day and included EVERY PROMPT? Dude that’s just amazing! Genuinely so glad for you!

Remember to skip days when you need to and that this month is made as a brain relief. Holidays and stuff are stressful and sometimes can cause big feelings of dread or make some not so good memories resurface, so these are for you to kind of vent.

Don’t forget to properly tag your stuff with correct trigger warnings when applicable! While you may want to vent, that doesn’t mean you get a pass to show it off without some type of warning.

And it’s just for fun! You don’t have to feel the need to vent into the pieces you make, in fact, you don’t have to make sad stuff at all! You can cry over tooth rotting, cute, very fluffy art. Whatever you choose to do, just be safe, take care of yourself, and relax.

That being said, make sure to tag with #deadcember if you post these cause I want to see if you decide to post them (totally cool if you don't, I'm not your dad)

 🖍️ When did you start drawing? Do you remember?

Well...

I think like a lot of artists, I started drawing when I was really young. Like- too young to really remember my first drawings. As far as I remember, I've always drawn, or doodled, but if I really wanted to I could always ask my mom if she remembered.

I know that I started to take art more seriously in middle school though. 12-13 was a crazy time for me discovering that being an artist could be a career, and ultimately that's still my end goal, but it's been a pretty steady part of my life since then for sure. I remember especially when I got my first SketchBook and I was drawing in it, throwing paint at it, and honestly just misusing the poor thing. I still have it to this day!

I flip through it and laugh at my old art sometimes. Fondly, of course, cuz if it wasn't for those drawings, I wouldn't have been able to progress to where I am today.

Paleblood Hunter could be Laurence’s reincarnation?

Or how things look different if you use cut content!

I received an ask from @marchioness-of-the-flowers-blog on my other blog that made me dive into a small bit of cute dialogue.. and then dive into an ABYSS of potential because I am unhinged fdshfhd Okay, so I presumed that you was referring to this cut dialogue:

There are different ways to go about it, yeah! The simplest way to interpret it is him 'speaking with a person that isn't here' thing - so he doesn't really call US Laurence, but just clings to the memory of him. Like, you know, same vein as the guy accomplishing something and casting arms to the sky all like 'Father I did this, do you see???' meanwhile 'father' is many years ago dead. You get the point!

But, heck, the version that he does start to confuse us for Laurence (whether because of going insane, or us looking similar, or both) is more interesting! I doubt that intention was within appearance because Souls-like games feature custom playable character in their trademark style! Sekiro is more 'a From's game' than it is 'a Souls-like game' after all.  So it is probably Gehrman's mind just falling apart!

However, there is another possibility. It could be that the paleblood hunter is a reincarnation of Laurence, or at least was intended to be such in beta version!

We can conclude that the Paleblood Hunter arrived in Yharnam already being aware of 'paleblood' - and even of the risk of losing their memory after blood transfusion! The bit about the very first note being written in your own handwriting is lost in translation so as always I am using excerpts from the lifesaving Last Protagonist's document ( x ).

Also, interestingly, with the context it seems like the Hunter chosen to arrive in the hood intentionally - as if knowing in advance that Yharnam would be hostile to foreigners from somewhere already. For one reason or another, Hunter was informed of what to expect and what they were looking for - be it some divine omens, dreams, them reading about it somewhere, some other character informing them, etc. Arriving in the city to potentially seek the red moon deity behind the Hunt and the Dream is... already very interesting. And very risky task because as gameplay choices show us - without memory it is easy to fail the quest. Not enough cords, not choosing to fight Gehrman...

But also, a detail often missed is that Paleblood Hunter is already not as simple! Here is the invitation in Cainhurst that you can find after imposter doctor invades Iosefka's clinic and takes her place, if you sneak from the secret cave through the woods. It is found in the exact same room where you start the game and where that first note about 'Seek paleblood to transcend the hunt' is!

Easily, she brought it! She, or Iosefka herself right after we left the room - they are most likely twins because devs aren't even subtle about them looking the same.

I talked more about the theory of Laurence having roots in Cainhurst in this ( x ) post, but the key point -  a portrait on the Cainhurst has both gold pendant and a necklace Church Servants wear. Can't imagine a more FAT hint, haha. Laurence was the one responsible for creating Hunter's Dream and associating with the paleblood / moon presence, and in that cut dialogue with Gehrman you see he mentions - "The way we've always said we'd end it, you recall".

So, perhaps Laurence could vaguely (or fully) predict what was to come - his impending early death included. Iosefka and the imposter are both in the Healing Church (and very likely both with Cainhurst roots as well - don't forget that Imposter Doctor can prepare the Numbing Mists that are "secret recipe from Cainhurst" and comments on us having scent 'of the moon' - with the only other character saying the same being Annalise). It is a possibility he entrusted one or both of them with the letter. Maybe name of Paleblood Hunter was known many years prior, or maybe they were instructed to write the invitation as soon as they spot a suspicious person seeking paleblood without being a Yharnamite... because that person WILL be important.

Alternatively - maybe the note written in Hunter’s handwriting was not written BY them, but their handwriting matches Laurence’s, so it seems like their! And the note was by Laurence as he knew where the future self would awaken. Then, maybe rather than one of the doctors bringing Cainhurst invitation, it was something along the lines of imposter Iosefka just fumbling around the place, finding this letter tucked somewhere and discarding it - letter he left? And maybe the reason him being reborn was apparent because of strange Cainhurst heritage transcending death as concept - or him having one favour from the Moon Presece for giving her a surrogate child (old man)? There are so many interpretations that choosing only one is already a hassle!

Laurence also lays idly as a beast, yet for some reason his human skull happens to exist in the Nightmare realm, but can't return his memories. So like... If you follow the reincarnation idea - would not that explain why his reaction upon receiving the skull he so desperately wanted is to turn hostile and attack us? Yeah, in the final game most likely he goes erratic when it doesn't help. But if it just so happens that Laurence is full beast, without any 'human but corrupted' sentiment left to him... would not that make sense why he attacks us? Because his actual soul is within HUNTER and now he realizes, and the way to actually return THE Laurence is to kill and consume the hunter.

And on the brink of the end of the night of the hunt, Gehrman just knows. He just can sense that even reborn as new person - this is merely Laurence's next reincarnation, and speaks hoping this part within the Hunter just... understands.

How is this interpretation?

Yeah, this is possible that it is a bit of a stretch, but that would explain some things. Especially the mystery of Cainhurst invitation and why the hunter specifically arrives to solve mystery of paleblood. Such a long time passed that Laurence found Gehrman again as a reincarnation - but he still arrived to at least free him.

Heh... worth a notice that in the cut dialogue, Gehrman sounds like the burning of the Hunter's Dream will destroy it for good, as opposed to the actual game where it seems to be merely a reset. Anyway, thank you for the ask, this was really fun to think about!

[synthwayve]

Many Laurences! Playing around with my designs for him and trying to settle on one. Please let me know which one looks best, I’m curious 👀 Color alternates of Pg 1 below the cut because indecisiveness:

[synthwayve]

THIS. IS. SO. COOL?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS I LOVE THIS Karnaca you’ve outdone yourself yet again! Amazing! Showstopping! Incredible!

After thinking about this comic again I decided I might as well have fun with a whole Frankenstein AU about the most divorced men in Yharnam.

The core idea is that Vicar Laurence died before fully turning into a beast and a funeral was held. Micolash thereafter robbed his grave and attempted to resurrect him. It worked, but he might regret it severely.
