#Petals To The Metal

[adventuresloane]

What if I did TAZ fanart for the first time in like 4 years but in my current style...haha just kidding...unless???

Anyway hiiiii Sloane love u miss u 🖤

[ID copied from alt: A drawing of Sloane from The Adventure Zone: Balance, shown from the waist up. She is a slender, brown-skinned half-elf with scars across her nose and lips and long, wavy, blue-black hair that blows in the wind. She is dressed in all black, including a yellow jacket with a feathered ruff and fingerless gloves. In her hands is a black motorcycle helmet with a birdlike beak, which she seems to have just removed. She stands in shadow near a wall and glances behind her, alert, as though having heard something. The sun sets behind a skyscraper in the pink-orange sky behind her. A few pink petals blow around her. End ID.]

IM RELISTENING TO TAZ AGAIN AND THERES A PART IN PETALS TO THE METAL WHEN TAAKO GETS THE EXTRA SPELL SLOTS FROM THE UMBRELLA I JUST KNOW LUP WAS SO FUCKING EXCITED TO CAST FIREBALL FOR HER BROTHER. "the sun comes out of your umbrella" YEAH IT SURE DOES MAN. THINKING ABOUT LUP TAZ MAKES ME SO INSANE

Petals to the Metal graphic novel panel redraw because blue Taako isn't real and can't hurt me (but the outfits are cute)

unicorn double barrel call that a binicorn

Image ID: a three panel long comic featuring Magnus Burnsides and Garyl from the Adventure Zone in the “how hungry” meme format.

In the first image, Magnus, a muscular human man with curly hair, fluffy sideburns, an arrow-shaped scar over his left eye comments “Man, I’m so hungry” with a blank expression.

In the next image, nothing has changed except Magnus’s mouth is now closed and the speech bubble is gone.

In the last image, with Magnus still having the same expression from the second panel, Garyl appears asking “HOW HUNGRY.” Garyl is a large binicorn resembling a draft horse, with a curly mane and two thin horns on his forehead. His ears are pinned and his eyes are wide. End description.

A bolt of light erupts from the Umbra Staff, and underneath of Merle appears... a Phantom Steed.

[...]

His name is Garyl.

Some watercolor marker TAZ bookmarks I made a long while ago. I realized I never posted them on here.

[ID: first image, six bookmarks featuring illustrations of the six TAZ balance arcs: here there be gerblins, murder on the Rockport limited, petals to the metal, crystal kingdom, eleventh hour, and the suffering game. The following images are closeups of the bookmarks. Second image, horizontal, showing taako from the back, jumping away from the back of the train and holding a box containing a glowing gold monocle. Third image, a shadowy hand reaching for the Phoenix gauntlet , which is wreathed in flames. Fourth image, Sloane as the raven shrouded in a column of vines and a storm, wearing the Gaia sash, looking up at her is Hurley in her Ram outfit surrounded by pink flowers . The fifth image, a robot is hanging suspended in a pink crystal, it has the transmutation stone in its hands, behind it is a portal to the astral plane full of ghostly silhouettes and glowing orbs. The sixth image shows Roswell the elemental (a suit of armour filled with mud with a red bird on their shoulder) underneath an arch that says refuge, above the arch the shoulders and arms of June are visible, holding the glowing and floating temporal chalice. The seventh image shows the black and white big top tent of the game, a crisscrossed colorful background, the arms of Edward and Lydia crossing over each other to cup around the Animus Bell, behind their hands is a red robe with glowing eyes.

taako got one of the coolest and most useful spells during petals to the metal in the form of blink and then to the best of my knowledge never fucking used it again. idiot wizard.

I was looking through my alt romance covers for past TAZGNs and trying to figure out why I hadn't lost my mind and made one for Petals... the answer is because I was busy making the back cover for the actual book itself.

It would still be nice to go back and make an alt cover for this book for sweet flips and one for hurley & sloane too! Maybe once things calm down after Book 5 is out.

(...In 9 days, which is both thrilling AND terrifying)

i don’t think it matters how many times i listen to balance, i will always get an ache in my chest at the end of petals to the metal when hurley and sloane have their last moments together 😭

[theoraclephobetor]

I know there are a lot of very poignant moments in Petals to the Metal, but nothing beats a weary Travis saying "MAGNUS HAS A PENIS" with great indignation

[ethersierra]

All the drawings I did leading up to sapphic week in one spot :]
