OK– so this is gonna be the last time I have to do a full line up to my guys, right? Right?

seriously tho, very proud of this piece and how far my designs have come, and this will probably be the main look I'll settle with for all my voices.

Full line up and some design notes + headcanons under the cut:

and here's the first ever sketches for comparison:

Hero: didn't change much from my original sketch, but I certainly got a lot better at drawing his body type. Sparrow; general shape is a square with rounded edges. Reliable and strong, but still soft. He wears that red shirt I sometimes draw him in under the leather armor, and the feathers on his helmet are fake, his real ones is brown like the rest of him (how does it stay perfectly hidden in the helmet? ✨Magic✨). He/Him.

Contrarian: Changed a LOT from the original sketch, and got details added to him a lot as I drew him. Hummingbird; tall and lanky silhouette, mainly broken by their hair and wings. They start off with a different color palette in the construct, that becomes faded out in Strange Beginnings, and finally, gets a lot more colorful as they develop outside. They/He.

Cheated: also changed a lot, as I struggled a bit with properly conveying his shape language. Seagull; sharp lines with lots of pointed bits in his design (mainly triangles and losangles); overall look is somewhat asymmetrical to add to the 'patched up' feel. Detachable arm, and more limbs could be too, but she's trying to be careful with her own body. She/He.

Skeptic: the general vibe of his final look was there in the initial sketch, but how I decided to convey it changed a lot. Hawk; the only things his wears is his hat, gloves, scarf (and sometimes a waist purse), with the feathers around his chest and tail giving the impression of a suit/coat. The feather on his hat is one of his own, he has a similar feather poking out of his head that gets hidden by the hat (*points* bald). He/Him

Smitten: design didn't technically change from how I initially drew him, just the way I draw it that evolved. Macaw (pink macaws don't exist?They do with the power of belief!!); all round edges and soft lines, giving him an approachable and harmless appearance despite his size. Has the most human face out of everyone here. He/Him, but won't complain if you use other pronouns too (especially she/her, it's a lovely pronoun set <3)

Stubborn: almost didn't change at all from my earlier designs. Mainly exaggerated his features and shapes a bit more. Ostritch. Big and bold lines for a large square as the general shape. Ear tufts looking more like horns, and his fluffy wings help break the pattern a lil bit. Gave him a cat face cuz I thought it'd be cute and the shape works well with his ear tufts. He/Him (but in a lesbian way).

Broken: Also didn't change all that much. Small and unobtrusive, their general shape is smth of a slouched square, and the head is shaped like a teardrop. Pigeon; takes the most from The Long Quiet in terms of general traits, tho much more worn down. The sack-as-cloak is supposed to invoke the look of an abandoned pet. Some of their feathers grow back with time, and they forgone the sack to get some actual clothes, but it's a long way till then. They/Them.

Opportunist: Gave me the most trouble designing, but once I had the initial doodle down, designing him went a lot smoother lol. Magpie; car salesman attire. The always-loose tie is supposed to look like a snake's tongue, and his head shape is kinda like that of a scorpion's tail. He does have an actual scorpion tail, but that remains hidden in case of emergency. Face looks like a porcelain mask despite being an actual face. He/Him (also occasionally use Ey/Em too).

Hunted: Changed the most out of all my designs, getting a full rework at some point. A hybrid between hare, deer, and quail; prey animals, while Beast has more predator traits. Has no depth perception like a lot of prey, and its stance makes it look smaller than it is (it's about as tall as Cold). It/Its.

Paranoid: The initial sketch is pretty incomplete, but the general idea is there. Loon; big eyes and uneven feathers to give her a 'frazzled' look. Feathers always falling out looking like she's always sweating bullets. Cloak covers overpreened wings and most of her markings. Fun fact: the exposed brain was initially visualized as just a bald spot, but since it looked like a brain, I just rolled with it. She/Her.

Cold: Pretty much had the general idea for his design nailed down since the initial sketch lol. Owl; another lanky and tall dude, tho more retangular with almost nothing to break the pattern but the little hair strand. Head also shaped after water, but while broken is a teardrop, for him I visualized raindrops. Has an X scar on the chest just under the X pendant on the cloak. Any pronouns.

[koolades-world]

Hey there! I'd Like to request something. So like, MC is an Artist (Style doesn't matter they just have to draw humanoid things) and then they draw the brothers+dateables in their style, what would the reaction be?

hello! sure thing :)

I myself am admittedly not a very good artist, which is my my preferred art form is writing. the only time I draw is usually during gartic phone games with friends, and thanks to my franticness under a time limit it's always very chaotic. but at this point I've just embraced it and it's always funny

enjoy!

Artist Mc

Lucifer

you draw him while he's seated at the dinner table on a saturday morning while he's reading the newspaper and enjoying a coffee

not that you didn't intend to show him, but suddenly he was leaning over your shoulder, staring, and it caught you off guard

as you scramble to explain, he just smiles and sits back down in his chair and goes back to what he was doing to keep being you model

once you're done, he asks if he can at least have a copy to keep, which in itself is a huge compliment, but it's so he can think of you every time he looks at it 🥺

Mammon

during class, he happened to look super cute as always while looking wistfully out a nearby window a few rows in front of you and the lesson was getting boring anyways. next to your notes, you begin to doodle him, using highlighters for color

you forget it's there and lend him that very notebook since he had tuned out that same lesson

once he opens it, he seems himself and doesn't know how to react. he's a babbling, red mess

once he regains motor functions, he shakily declares that it's very becoming of the Great Mammon and that you did a great job. success!

Levi

the two of you are hanging out in his room. he's playing a ruri game and you're lounging behind him, sketching on a bean bag

you're not drawing anything in particular and were searching for an idea when suddenly, the idea found you

levi wasn't paying attention to you, so you could easily look at him and ruri, and sketch them side by side in matching outfits

once he stops for a moment to get a snack, you happily show him the drawing and he does the demon equivalent of blue screening. give him a minute to reboot then try again haha

Satan

when you decided to draw him, the two of you were seating together, with you in his lap while he read a book so he saw the drawing from it's first line to it's last

made positive comments about it the entire time, like about how you captured the green of his eyes perfectly, or telling you his hair looked better in the picture than it did in real life

at some point, he stopped pretending to read the book and sat watching you with his chin on your shoulder

he added cute little notes around it once you were done with little hearts around them

Asmo

he's asked you to draw him jokingly a few times, but never expected you to actually do it the next time he asked

when you tell him if he wants, he can pick something else to wear, he almost strips down so you can draw him nude but you stop him as soon as he started to take his shirt off

he scurried away and was back quickly in a new outfit, and posed how he would for a picture

talks to you basically the entire time you draw, and once you're done, he squeezes you into a tight hug and asks if he can post it on his Devilgram

Beel

after joining him enough times for Fangol practice, you knew it well enough to begin making sketches of him as he practiced

drawing him in action was a little challenging since he never held still, but you were determined

you drew a few since his practice went on longer that day, and got to proudly show him the results

he was equally as proud of you since he thought you did a great job. he asks if he can have one, and if you give it to him, you'll find it hanging up next to his bed next to all his Fangol trophies <3

Belphie

he's an easy model to draw thanks to his lethargy, so you often find yourself sketching him

something about his peaceful nature and natural frosted tips was just so drawable, so you had at least a few pages full of him napping in various positions with different blankets

one time, he wakes up while you're next to him drawing, and is a little shocked in a good way. he didn't know you viewed him that highly

he's still half asleep, so he just compliments your artwork and moves to lay his head on your lap, then falls back asleep, ensuring you're the flustered one now

[leoruby-draws]

Decided to post some more random, mostly minor characters from the DC universe, mostly ones that seemed they would be fun to draw. I guess technically these drawings are all based in my TrWh au, as always. Here they are:

Wanted to draw heroes with wings, I draw Vanessa quite a bit so I had to learn wings and feathers. Still working on it, but its fun. You can see Vanessa there at the bottom middle, looking a little menacing.

The girl with red wings is called...Redwing aka Carrie Levine. I thought she was a sweet kid, so her ultimate fate was pretty sad. Wonder if she'll come back to continuity at some point.

The guy with the mohawk is Northwind aka Norda Cantrell, part of Infinity Inc the earth 2 version of a Teen Titans group. He honestly didn't get a whole lot of focus in Infinity Inc, like the writer didn't know what to do with him. Maybe they should've made him into the magic fighter of the group, almost felt like thats what they were going for him before they wrote him off.

The girl in yellow is Dawnstar, part of the Legion of Superheroes. I haven't read much of LoSH, mostly some 90's issues. But her design is soooo pretty I had to draw her, her costume here is a mix of her various outfits.

Lastly, here's Bluejay aka Jay Abrams again, part of Justice League Europe. Kinda thought JLE was a bit of a letdown, I mean the team's made up of mostly americans not europeans! I think Crimson Fox was the only european, I thought her set-up of being two people was cool.

Little extra Infinity doodle, here's Hector Hall (Silver Scarab) hating on poor Norda, with Lyta Trevor (Fury) looking on with confusion. Hector's just a hater (tho there's reasons for it ig), an archetype you see sometimes in some superhero groups, like Roy Harper or Guy Gardner. The plot-line of Hector's resentment of Norda was kinda interesting, but like with most things in Infinity it didn't get the focus it should've gotten. Speaking of Infinity, here's some more doodles:

There's Rex Tyler (Hourman 1) with little Rick Tyler (Hourman 2), enjoying some father-son time. Apparently Rick's first costume isn't well liked (so says reddit). I thought it seemed cute but maybe it works better as a kid's or sidekick's kinda costume?

In the middle is Jack Knight (Starman) suffering as he interacts with Sylvester Pemberton (Skyman, formerly the Star-Spangled Kid) and Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl, actually she should still be S-SK but whatever). In my au he actually joins Infinity Inc, since everyone becomes heroes earlier he's actually around when the team's still running. I suspect his dad (Ted Knight) forced him into it. Also Courtney doesn't respect Jack at all, he's so annoyed at this. Look at her mini-staff, I presume Ted made it for her.

Also there's Beth Chapel (Dr. Mid-Nite) and Jesse Chambers (Jesse Quick) looking cool. Jesse also joins Infinity Inc in my au, will there be a love triangle going on between Beth, Rick and Jesse? Don't think Rick's gonna survive that, aw well.

Look at baby Jade and Obsidian, Alan is overwhelmed by their antics.

In another post someone asked if I could draw more of the Relative Heroes, a super obscure hero group. So @draculaura1660, this one's for you. Here they are:

I kinda had a hard time drawing this group, cuz their costumes are so complicated! I wished there was a reference/concept art for them cuz it was a struggle trying to figure out the details, the comic art did not help matters at all. You might have noticed I changed details anyways, I tend to simplify costumes for my au both to make it easier to draw and also to signify their younger ages. It's just fun to play around with costume design ig.

Some more characters!

Jinx, who looks very different between her comic and cartoon self. I did like her pink hair, so decide to see how it would look on her comic self. There's Kole, who also has different designs in comic/cartoons. I think her comic costume is so cool, esp that color pallet! But I love her pink hair in the cartoon, so she's got pink hair here! Just like pink hair a lot lol.

The other pink haired girl is Laethwen, love interest of Ray Palmer in Sword of the Atom. I think I made her hair more pink to better differentiate her from Starfire, also, again I just like pink hair. I wished she and her little kingdom didn't die, in my au Ray saves them! Maybe he relocates them to his backyard or something?

Little Donna and Vanessa doodle, did you know they never once interacted on panel? The closest is when Donna brings her stepsister Cindy to talk to Vanessa instead. I wonder how they would even interact, I know Vanessa wanted to be wonder girl (and resented Cassie for 'taking' it from her). Did she look up to Donna, or wanted her out of the way? Funnily enough Donna wasn't even Diana's sidekick when post-crisis started, due to both their origins being reworked and contradicting each other's timelines. It's all very confusing.

Anyways, some bonus doodles:

Had fun making a new outfit for Laethwen, I imagine she took some inspiration from indigenous groups from the Amazon, seeing as that's where her people crashed into.

Kole's costume is just so beautiful but so complicated, maybe that's why she got killed off so soon in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Lastly, here's Bette bugging Dick with Barbara being super amused about it. I said in my post about her that I didn't really care about her crush on Robin, which is true, but I still wanted to doodle something making fun of it. Poor Dick is doesn't know how to get outta of this social situation.

Well that was a lot, hope you liked all that.

[s4tvrnsays]

Hero lineup!! Featuring some extra cigognelles bc shes too pretty not to draw

I originally planned on doing both the hero and civilian designs and then posting, but im too lazy and impatient so here u go

My longggggg thoughts and extra doodles down below, as always :333

OKAY!

So here are some things i kept in mind while designing them! Its nothing extraordinary but i like hearing people talk abt this stuff so i thought others would enjoy it too

While designing the three of them, i didnt exactly keep any inspiration for their designs (other than cigognelle, sorry lb and cn…) but there were some things i DID want, ill go through them here.

It was also pretty important for me that they look cohesive, because they DO have the big three miraculouses (i do like the idea of the other heroes joining, no zodiac miraculous tho)

I also pointed out some parts of the design that might be missed bc im obsessed

Ladybug:

One thing i wanted to incorporate was LESS SPOTS!!! Movie chat was right she DOES look like a watermelon

I also remembered mr bug’s suit and how he had armor on, and i really liked that idea! In my mind, the shoulder pads and breastplate are made of some sort of hard material, something synthetic.

And i also made her look more like a ladybug, with antennae. The little spikes are similar to the little hairs on insects, though ladybugs themselves dont have them (the little segments on their legs are joints, and i didnt rly like the look of them on a suit). This is mainly so she looks more insecty

The lines on her suit are inspired by spiderman!! As another insect themed hero, it was fun to make ladybug similar to him in that aspect. Expect to see her in spiderman poses in my art lol

Cigognelle:

Her look is inspired by ballet, because is there truly anything more graceful and crane-like than that?

I had my eye on specifically 1920s theatre and ballet costumes. Her hair, her hat (yes its a hat lol), her heels, etc

I thought it really fit her style, and her mostly black and white color scheme

Speaking of color scheme, i was REALLY surprised when i found out how perfect her colors were. The black and red are both colors that chat and ladybug have, and i thought it fit really well, considering her role :)

The little daggers she has are in the shape of a crane beak

And of course, heels. Because she slays

Chat Noir:

Now, chat’s suit didnt really change much. Im in love with his actual suit, but i’d still make a few changes

Same as ladybug, i wanted to add in more elements from a cat. Again, his suit does this really well (the PAW TOES!!!!!! Im literally obsessed) so i only added some fur on his shoulders, wrist, and on his boots.

The little cat buckle on his concept design is far too cute, so i added it back, this time as a solid silver one for simplicity

I added some little silver studs around his suit, like his arms and mask and also his ears (it doesn’t show tho)

And lastly, i brought in more green into his design, cuz its more fun that way!!!

I feel like my throat is dry somehow from all that typing

Anywayssssss here are the doodles :3

Theyre so precious to me u dont understand

[postmail]

hey guys i love you. its my birthday in three days have some queeshmael (and other assorted stand-alone ishmaels and queequegs) moby dick fanarts that ive drawn over the course of like... several months that i never posted because i thought they looked like shit. and tbh i still do. but also theres beauty in everything and also also i need to lead by example of fearlessness in posting shitty ass fanart just for funsises. just because it makes me happy. some of these are outdated but idgaf. enjoy inconsistent character designs lol

its under the cut cause uh wow thats actually a lot more than i expected? whoops?

okay funny story i actually lied up there a little bit i drew this several months ago and was so madly in love with how it turned out that i never posted it because i didnt want the inevitable lack of attention to sour it for me. its a little outdated now but i still love it, i just want to put here so i never lose it. ishmael please go to therapy

newer art yet somehow even more outdated designs? i think i was trying to be a bit more experimental and didnt like how they came out. i still dont like the designs very much but looking back now i dont think the art itself is actually that bad.

never posted because i just couldnt get the anatomy quite right. i actually kind of miss when i colored grays like this idk how i forgot that actually wait i should start doing that again-

this one was for mermay, just pure silliness and cringe for the soul. more of that awesome gray shading line stuff that i need to start doing again, but i didnt like how queequeg's face looked. and also i think i felt a bit silly about this? like i thought it was too cringe or something? idk why tho its kinda cute to me now. best of wishes to ishmael in his goal to fuck that fish man

more inconsistent queequeg designs! i really liked this one when i first drew it, but i thought it was too small to post on its own, being just a itsy little doodle for shading practice. now i can post it :). wonder who it is thats talking to him?

another little drawing! this one i never posted because 1) i fucked up when drawing it and accidentally drew it way too small and 2) i accidentally made it waayy too similar to another moby dick fanart by another more popular user and i didnt want other ppl accusing me of copying or smthin... i jusr didnt think this piece was particularly worth the risk of that. i think its fine now tho.

incredibly shitty doodle i really only made for myself ft. incredibly innacurate drawing of a sperm whale. ngl i still think the joke is funny tho.

shhh dont tell the cringe police about this one but this is a queeshmael fankid i made. her name is rachael and she cannot make normal facial expressions to save her life. she loves listening to her dad infodump its interesting to her. she knows so many incorrect facts about whales! whoopie!

this might have been a valentines special? idk. i was gonna redraw it but then i forgor. let this be a lesson to you: finish your drawings, or else you'll only have the older version to show to people (its okay i still like this a little bit)

oh shit i ran out ok bye guys hope you liked your gay whalers peace and love on planet earth

[femminger]

Art practice by trying some other artist's styles that I'm a huge fan of!

From Top Left to Bottom Right:

@ghostishere0 - the original reason I started this doodle, as I wanted to draw a "shepherd lovers squad" and their OC (who I don't know the name of F) was the perfect fit for it.

@luminesparkz - the best interpretation of Pom pikmin. If I were Mr. Nitendo, I would make them the official comic creator along with the manga comics.

@marblyso - If I was a little more unhinged and made a shrine to Erma Shepherd, it would be mostly marblyso's art of her, it's my absolute favorite Erma depiction <3

@rexscanonwife - another OC that I don't know the name of, but she makes such a cute pair with Shepherd and has such cute art that why not, let Shepherd have multiple canon wives at this point.

@citruscrisp - I think this is secretly Alph in an alternate universe where he makes comics about himself, because citrus has Alph's character SPOT ON, and also loves to put that boy in a situation (which I am happy for, I enjoy seeing that boy in a situation)

@daisythecomic - oooaaaaaaaaaa they look like little mice people they look so soft and sweet I love them so muuuuuuuuuccchhhhhhhhh

@louie-posting - I can't not include actual Louie Pikmin on this list.

@kiwilittle - the soft, the sweet, the one who makes the best family style art, really making me wish I was an inch tall so I could go to holidays with the olimar family, also their wife design is so cute that if Olimar didn't already get it I would shoot my shot for her m a a m

@pikbugz - really nails the soft aesthetic that makes pikmin such a calming series, and their coloring style is so soft and good that it gives me the ratatouille nostalgia flashback moment.

@splitster - more than just the wraith au guy, they are the one who makes incredible and funny comics; I've seen so many fics with the rescue corps where I can pick up that yes, this trait came from a splitster comic, and that's a GOOD thing. Made me actually LIKE Dingo, the nerve.

@diesaur - I can't do diesaur's incredible, unique art justice, they are amazing at using geometrics and have the best charlie (his little teefs...)

@solluxander - Cars, one of my favorite pikmin Ocs I've ever seen! Collin deserves a slightly unhinged sentient fluffball boyfriend, and I always love seeing the new ways Cars will interact with him.

@sillypikmin - all hail the best pikposter, who I'm still convinced is an actual leafling living on actual pnf-404, literally every time I have a bad day I look at drawings of Moss and feel better.

@eggpathy - thank goodness they came back to give us old man yaoi. I keep their drawing of olimar kissing the pikmin good night on my phone and look at it before I go to sleep and so far I have yet to have a single nightmare.

@the-knife-consumer - the only person I trust with Louittany, toxic yuri my beloved, I just adore their beasty brittany design so so much, I wish I could have a small brittany to live in my house...

anyway they have the best headcanons for our beloved blorbo hamster people

@natibranch - there's a voice line of Louie going "wa-ha!" in this really cute sing-song voice and every time I see any art by natibranch I hear that sound in my head as a little burst of serotonin, they just nail that exact feeling so so well.

@pikked-min - Another of my favorite Pikmin OCs, Yuva! A really interesting and unique character concept with a lot of thought put into the worldbuilding, followed by a strong unusual personality that had me looking at the pikmin world through a new perspective entirely. Please, someone, give them some sunglasses. Read the fic it's so good

@ssserf - artistic and deep while still somehow looking like official nintendo tm art, genuinely the best at the pikmin proportions, how could I resist trying my hand at the classic amazing beautiful Brittany Fruit Sweater moment, literally SO iconic

@kashi-pon - while I was working on the part of this that was just kashi's various highlife dresses there was a part of me that wanted to dedicate the rest of the space to paying homage to the joke comic of Louie lifting his skirt to show Olimar that he's wearing shorts, except this dress....well......

@diamondwerewolf - the reason we got louie in a little bunny outfit anyway, and thus why we got kashi's dress version. you single-handedly turned Louie into a tumblr sexyman, how could you

[draculovemp3]

@revenge-of-the-assbutt @firstaidspray @sachermorte thank u for enabling me NEWAY since I’ve been too dead to do any of my own hobbies here’s some thoughts on House & Co’s physical hobbies/lil crafts & such they do in the comfort of their home<3:

House: canonically does a ton of shit like piano/guitar/cooking/so on but In the spirit of him resisting change (At Times!) I think he’s gotten very good if not makes a fun time out of mending clothes🥺…. Didn’t wanna throw away his favorite shirts so it started w small hems+resizings until he looked up more tips online and get decorative w it. Pretty contrasting colors/patterns now randomly laid on his shirts and pants w only the careful eye(Cuddy+Wilson) to notice. If anyone cares

Wilson: gardening. Well as much one can do within his apartments/pretty nonplant friendly homes. He’s not a super greenthumb expert but it always gives him a lil confidence boost when he’s able to grow out spices and herbs & such to use in his cooking ♥️

Cuddy: she seems like a collage-making kind of girlie💗💗 no specific theme in em or anything but she still holds onto the potential self-aid of making vision boards and it’s relaxing for her to go thru magazines/etc + cut out whatever interests her enough to use. Rachel tries and cutely fails to help 💓💓💓

Chase: ironically enough for the prodigal son lol but . He genuinely seems like someone who enjoys spending time in silence/music doing puzzles w 1000+ pieces & such #DWEEB❤️. House once got him a 5000 piece puzzle of a kangaroo or w/e as a joke and he is Determined to complete it. In due time chase…

Foreman: the thought of Foreman crocheting is so dear to me….. he doesn’t rly tell anyone ab it but there’s a lot of half-finished + worn projects as proof around his home. #angsting it sorry but I think he took it up after his mom started deteriorating bc she crocheted too and it was a fonder reminder + sumn they could do together. One yr he gave the fellow ducklings scarves he made as Xmas gift. Not that he told him he made it tho😅#repressed

Cameron: I think she has a moderately sized zen garden on a table somewhere in her home she takes SERIOUS. Changes the lines/circles in the sand periodically, sees what new arrangement of rocks she can do etc etc. Girl that thing is meant to be relaxing!! also colorcodes/sticker-covers/etc her planner like a CHAMP.

Amber: she has the most well-detailed prettiest most concerning-when-read journal/diary everrrr. Dedicates a specific time in every day to it w specific pens of various colors. Some of the recounting even have lil doodles or if she takes the journal out w her she draws her view wherever she is<3 they’re literal chickenscratch but its still fun and fulfilling. It’s a bibleesque piece to Wilson’s Amber shrine btw

Thirteen: she’s hard to analyze for me soz 13heads I do love her #trust… nonetheless I bet she goes to hella dance classes. Partially for the exercise partially for the fun partially for the need to experience Life partially for the women. Heh. She’s rly into zumba, jazz, contemporary classes to be specific.

Taub: ok ok so remember when he did/bought pottery or w/e to convince his wife he was being faithful. I think he’d do it for real as a joke/alibi then be like wait…. This is kinda fun…? There’s no constraints to what he can make + the sculpting reminds him vaguely of plastic surgery work so he keeps it up.

Kutner: I think he draws + writes his own lil comics/zines 🫶 they’re mostly scifi or superhero and more than a lil inspired by his fave preexisting medias . He likes using the crazy cases he’s experienced w House as story inspo. Also he 4 sure runs dnd campaigns so well and fun. Btw

Masters: she’s a suckerrrr for trivia nights my lil nerd wife<3 but um anyway when she wants to relax she Really doesn’t want sumn that can become info overload so in free time she’ll make friendship bracelets, lil shapes/figures out of string, etc. Will someone please give this woman a full on loom to go cray with!!!!

Park: I can see it so clearly . I can see her lil handpainted warhammer and other tabletop game figures so perfectly in my head. She paints more than she actually plays(but she does !). God save you if you touch or tumble them.

Adams: I kinda DGAF about her sorry women… hmm there’s sumn compelling ab her doing blackout poetry plus occasionally full-on written when the inspo hits! started as a boredom thing in her job in the prison w whatever book she brought in then she kept on doing it w more and more written pieces she comes across.

I put so much time into this. Perhaps too much.😭feel free to gimme y’all’s thoughts on this/ur own ideas :3

[amethyst-marshmallow]

Skulldog skulldog!!!!!!

Feel free to suggest a name :P

Character concept-y stuff:

coooool (bonus + inspos under cut)

Yo so this was supposed to be a sort of combo of some old ocs????????????? here they are

Momo, Ruby, and an unnamed oc :P clearly i didnt know how to draw skulldogs there either lmao

I also made this momo ref later

I actually stole the name from teh google doodle halloween cat because shes so cute lmao but i wanna change it-

i also drew these ruby outfits

It looks a little better but she still looks more like a wolf than a dog lol (to be fair teh new one kinda looks like a wolf a littel bit too...skulldogs kinda looks like wolves in general, don't you think?)

I swear i had more olf ruby art but i can't find it??? prolly cuz i forgor her name lmao and i had another oc named ruby so i had to change it... I tried to get suggestions for it but none ever came in xd

Anyway, I took the fur color from the unnamed oc, specifically the one from the lighter grey half, and I took a lot more from ruby; the colors, the species, basically everything lol

I didn't take a lot from momo, i think ill take more from her lore-wise instead of looks-wise

so anyway i started designing

I sketched a version with a poncho cape shaul thing? I cant find it but it was inspired by these i saw on pintrest

mostly the first one

anyway i thought it looked dumb so i changed it

I was inspired by these BEAUTIFUL pants I saw on pintrest (again) and i cant find it but just imagine it lol

they were like shark tooth pants or something???/ they had a lot fo zippers and pockets idk

ANYWAY i added something similar onto the oc and then i played with colors

Idk whats going on in the third one

the second one i used a website to make a color palette

then i made the one i actually used

after that i just cleaned it up a bit and colored the lines :P

anyawy the end

[affluent-havoc]

Kiss

Flowers

Extra thoughts cus I like typing :))))

Kiss - Wanted to not have it on the lips, both to save my skin cus I don't trust myself with drawing that. Also I will forever have my personal headcanon Byakuya hating that kind of kissing cus saliva is grody to him. I am totally not projecting here to some extent. Also, I feel he totally complained after Makoto pulled this stunt cus of course he did. Makoto's used to him being a bit of a whiny bastard though so he didn't take it to heart. Also, cus it caused me so much redraw pain, just Byakuya's eyes. I dunno why they were so tricky for me to get and I'm still mixed on how I drew them in the final but still! So many redraws on the eyes. Specifically the one closer to Makoto cus it just looked off and I wanted to avoid it hitting a tangent line wear Makoto's hair meets Byakuya's face. Ah, tangent lines. How you make me die just a little inside.

Flowers - The sketch makes me so happy. I would have left it as just the sketch but I rendered it which took way longer than the other drawing because my set up isn't the best and flower crown. So many flowers ;-; Damn was it worth it though. The color choice and sketchiness is giving subtle Omori vibes too which makes sense since I AM still playing the game. It was bound to bleed in somewhere. Also, I had to show it plus a little doodle I made since they're in each other's arms and could totally use it against the other. Makoto is literally holding the heir's face. Byakuya has his hands around Makoto's waist. It is but an inevitable. It kind a just looks like a goofier version of the first sketch though since subtle details like that are hard. Though, at the same time, Byakuya looks like Makoto told him the funniest joke in the world so I count that as a win even if it's not what I was going for. The guy looks like he's laughing like an Animal Crossing villager. Meanwhile, Makoto's giving out the most precious giggle ever and mmmm my heart. Why do I do this to myself?! One last detail I wanna note is that yup. The everlasting bracelets are back! This time, Makoto is clearly wearing his. Gosh. Even though those bracelets are probably SO hard to match outfits with since they're red and gold colored, it's so cute drawing them with them on. It warms my heart so freaking much. These dorks! Edit: I totally didn't edit some parts cus I wanted to gush more about my art. Like, I promise I'm not self absorbed even though saying that just makes it look worse ( ;﹏; )

Buggy asks Sunny for some help.

Rating: PG! Silly teenagers being silly.

Warning: None, mild teenage insecurities briefly.

Word Count: 2,644

A/N: A lovely and fun request from the absolutely wonderful @hey-august who wanted some awkward teen Buggy and Sunny bonding over doing his makeup. I had fun with this. Thank you. This got LONG because I wanted to make sure they had the right amount of awkward moments. <3

Title from "America's Suitehearts" by Fall Out Boy.

“Umm… I don’t know, Buggy.” Sunny looked at the makeup Buggy set out on her lap as they sat across from each other in the park. His Captain brought him to the shop again and this time the teen was ready to spend time with Sunny. He had been wanting to perfect his ‘look’ - whatever that really was - for a while now and he thought stage makeup could be the way to do it. 

He just didn’t have a mirror.

“Babe, you got the steadiest hands.” He assured her as he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. “Look, I even came up with ideas for you!” 

She took the paper from him and looked it over, taking note of the several designs he made on a little drawing of his own face. She wondered if he’d let her keep the doodles when they were done. They were awfully cute.

“I'm not good at makeup.” She insisted. “I don't even do my own.”

“Sunny, come on!” I just want to spend time with you, stop being stubborn! 

She hesitated, looking at the designs again before looking at him. The red lips, bones, and blue diamonds could be easy enough…

“Just… you can't be mad at me if you hate it.” I don't want you to hate me.

“It's you, it's fine.”

She picked up one of the makeup sticks, wondering what to do with it. It was a white color, perfect for bones, but was she supposed to touch him when she did this? His head could come off (she didn't want him to do that) and she knew he would need to keep steady if this was going to go well.

“Buggy, can I touch you?”

She didn't miss the way his cheeks turned pink or how he sat up straighter. Was he puffing his chest out? What did he think she meant? Buggy nodded, however, his face still pink as Sunny scooted closer to him until her face was inches from his. She touched his chin, gently holding his head still before touching the makeup sticks to his forehead. He shivered at the touch and she pulled back just a bit.

“Sorry! Did it hurt?”

“N-No, just felt weird.” He insisted as he grabbed her hand and brought it back towards his face. “It's fine, get on with it.”

There was a moment of hesitation on her part but she started to slowly draw the lines on his forehead, brow furrowing with a look of concentration as she tried to make the line as straight as possible. She glanced at the design before looking back at his face. 

“Sorry, the lines aren't straight…” She tried to wipe the makeup off with just her thumb but it didn't work, so she licked the tip of it before successfully wiping it off. “Um, sorry.”

“Uh…” At least she didn't lick his face like he did to her the day before on their crepe date, but he couldn't help but wonder if maybe he could ask her to do that again. “It's… it's okay. I trust you.”

She nodded, steadying his head before scooting closer once more. This time she stuck her tongue out of the corner of her mouth as she concentrated on drawing the bones again. Buggy couldn't help but stare at her, taking in how close she actually was, how he could feel her warmth, her breath on his face, and he was certain he could hear her heartbeat, or maybe that was his because he couldn't help the nerves he was feeling from how close she was to him.

Sunny frowned and leaned back suddenly, causing Buggy to stress out. Was something wrong? Did he do something? Oh, what did he have for breakfast, did his breath maybe stink? He covered his mouth all of a sudden and Sunny scooted back further from him.

“Are you okay?”

“‘m fine!” He coughed and put his hand down. She didn't look too sure but she got closer to him once more once he seemed okay.

“Just trying to get the bones straight…”

“Take your time, babe. I got all day.” Buggy gave her a big grin and now it was her turn for her cheeks to turn pink. She liked it when he called her that, it felt special to her. A small part of her wondered if he called all the girls he met some little pet name like that, but the way he spoke to her had her thinking she was the only one.

“Buggy?” She asked as she carefully added the second one. He hummed in response, keeping himself as still as possible as her hands touched his face, holding him in place as she worked. “I was wondering just now… d’you have other… girls?”

“Huh? Whaddya mean?” 

“I mean do you have… a friend at every place you stop at.”

“A friend like you? No.”

“So you don't have… a girlfriend for every town?” She asked at the halfway point of the bone. Buggy’s eyes widened when he realized what she asked and he started to pull back but she tightened her hold on him.

“I-I don't- no, Sunny! Why- how- why would you think that?!” He exclaimed as his head separated from his shoulders, allowing his body to properly react, gesturing wildly as she worked. “I don't! Only you! Just you!”

“Oh.” She lowered the makeup as she looked away, blush rising to her cheeks. “I'm your girlfriend?”

His jaw dropped. Did he mean to say that? Heck, he wouldn't mind it. He… liked her. A lot. Should they be boyfriend and girlfriend? How would that work? 

“Y-Yes!” He stammered. “Okay? I wouldn't ask anyone b-but a girlfriend to do this, got it?!” 

She smiled and popped his head back onto his shoulders. “I'm almost done with the top design. I gotta do the one around your eyes, okay?”

He nodded, wishing his heart would stop pounding in his chest and his face would stop burning. She had no filter, just asked him that. What was he supposed to say? He did like her, he said what he said so no one else could come along and sweep her off her feet, but was there something else he should do to prove it?

She finished up the bones, looking them over with a grin. They weren't perfect but it would do. She grabbed some blue next, glancing once more at the reference picture before looking into his eyes. Yes, blue definitely would work. She grabbed him once again, pulling him until their noses were almost touching. Buggy tried to pull back, afraid of what if she touched his nose? Would she feel disgusted or laugh at him?

“Hold still.” She murmured as she looked into his eyes, trying to think of how the lines should look, but she quickly got distracted by just how pretty his eyes were. The shade of blue was different than her own, reminding her of the color of stormy waters. Her thumbs brushed over his cheeks as she let out a giggle and smiled at him. “You have the prettiest eyes, Buggy.”

He didn't have words. She just said whatever she wanted, didn't she, not realizing the effect she had on him. 

She stroked his cheek before she started to work on the designs around his eyes. Her tongue was back out as she concentrated, trying to make sure the makeup was absolutely perfect. There was a newfound feeling of… excitement? Giddiness? Sunny wasn't too sure but she wanted his makeup to be perfect for him now, especially since he entrusted it with her.

He sat there, leg bouncing as he tried to keep still but with the way she kept touching him he was starting to have regrets asking for her help. 

“Buggy, can you please stop?” She asked gently as her hand went to his knee, pressing it down gently. His eyes bugged out and he couldn't believe just….how calm she was. It was like when they first met and Buggy was a mess, she was still gentle with him. “Here.”

He didn't get to ask what ‘here’ was before she took his hands and placed them on her knees. “You're taller than me! I need to be able to reach your eyes and you keep moving away, Buggy!”

“Well you-you keep touching me!”

Sunny looked at him in confusion. “You asked for my help!”

“But do you have to touch me?!”

“Yes! I don't have your Devil Fruit ability, you silly boy! How else am I supposed to help you with your makeup?” Sunny asked as she grabbed hold of his face once again, ignoring the shade of red on his cheeks or how her heart was starting to pound. She almost wanted to just finish as quickly as possible and leave but she also wanted to spend as much time as she could with Buggy. Her own face was starting to heat up when she tugged him a little too close, her nose against his, but she didn't pull back. “Do you want me to finish, Buggy?”

It was uncomfortable leaning forward the way he was. One hand was on her knees for balance while his other was at her side. She had pulled him forward a little harder than he was expecting and they were close. He wondered if he kissed her if she'd be upset with him. It would probably be okay, right? Their noses were touching but she wasn't pulling away in disgust or embarrassment. She was looking right back at him.

“Yes.” He managed to say. “Uh, yea, finish me off, babe.”

She gasped and gave his shoulder a shove while he just grinned and winked at her. Boys. Shaking her head, she straightened back up and touched his face once more before she started the designs around his eyes.

Buggy wasn't sure where to look as she carefully drew the designs around his eyes. Away from her? At her? Would she be creeped out f he stared into her eyes? It was hard not to. They were pretty and always seemed to have a sparkle to them that Buggy wanted to see all the time. They reminded Buggy of pretty some of the pretty jewels he had tucked away in a box under his cot on the ship. Maybe he could give them to her? But he needed them for his own ship… maybe if he found a smaller piece he could give her something. Did she even like jewellery?

“Sunny?”

“Hm?” She was sticking her tongue out once again as she concentrated, brow furrowed as she gently turned his head to one side and to the other, making sure it was perfect.

“D’ya like jewellery?”

She turned his head to face her straight on. So far so good. She started on the next side. “I do.”

Oh, okay, he should bring her something then.

“Why?”

“No reason! I just wanted to ask!” He was a little too intense when he said that and Sunny almost poked him in the eye. “Babe!”

“Sorry!” She winced as she wiped away the excess. “I'm almost done. I can…finish or we can stop after this if you want?”

Why, did she want to? He wanted to keep her all day. He didn't want her to stop after his eyes. “I don't want you to stop, babe.”

“Okay, Buggy.” She smiled at him and he thought the air was being squeezed from his lungs. Oh, if the old crew could see him now. He was spending time with a girl - the prettiest one Buggy ever met, and she wanted to spend time with him! He wondered for a moment what Roger would have thought, or Rayleigh? Shanks would no doubt tease Buggy, and maybe the others would too, or would they clap Buggy on the shoulder and congratulate him on getting himself a pretty girl?

“Buggy? Are you okay?” Sunny’s voice brought him back and she was looking at him with concern, cupping his face in her hands. He couldn't stop himself from placing his hands on top of hers.

“Y-Yes! Why? What's wrong?!”

“Nothing, making sure you're still with me.” She smiled as she pulled one hand away to set the blue makeup stick down before picking up the red one. Her other hand remained on his cheek. “Last part, your lips. I don't know if this is going to tickle or not.”

“You'll do fine!” He insisted, as she cocked her head to the side, frowning a bit as she studied his face. She took hold of his chin, brushing her thumb over his bottom lip before touching the stick to it.

“Maybe… pucker up?” She suggested. “I don't know how this is going to work. Or relax… it's just so weird.”

“What's weird?!”

“Your lips.” She said, once again with no filter as Buggy looked offended. She seemed to notice and straightened up, looking embarrassed. “No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way! Lips… lips are just weird okay, and… and they're just so soft-” She stopped talking as her face started to turn red. “What I mean is, Buggy, you have soft lips and….and they're soft so I don't know how weird it's going to be to put this on and-”

“Oh for crying out loud!” Face as red as hers, Buggy took the makeup from her and smeared it all over his mouth. He had no idea what to do either but he needed her to stop saying his lips were soft because he was starting to wonder how hers would feel against his. Once he was done, the red on his lips and all around, going to his cheeks, he huffed and dropped the makeup into her lap. “There!”

She stared at him, letting the look sink in, before reaching up to hold his face in her hands once more while her thumbs tried to even it out.

“I… I like the look, Buggy.” She told him as he leaned into her touch. She wanted to make sure the makeup looked good, that the painted on lips were colored in. “You look good!”

“Oh.” 

She smiled and leaned in, trying to get a closer look, but Buggy’s mind short circuited and he leaned in as well, thinking she wanted a kiss, but instead she turned her head and his lips smushed against her cheek, leaving behind a bright red lip print.

They both froze.

And then they reacted.

Buggy jerked back, Sunny turned to look at him. Both faces were as red as the makeup and neither knew what to say. Buggy was trying to make some excuse while Sunny looked surprised. He kept babbling as he tried to stand up but she pulled him back down, grabbed his head to turn it, and kissed him on the cheek in return.

“Sunny-”

“I should get back to the shop.” She said as she released him. “Miss Pins will be worried.”

He wanted to say something, but what? He was… shocked he kissed her cheek and she… did the same. She didn't call him disgusting or hit him. She kissed him on the cheek. It wasn't the first time but it definitely felt different. 

“Okay but-”

“I'll see you tomorrow?” She asked with that bright smile of hers, the one Buggy hoped was just for him. He could only nod dumbly, no longer wanting to speak because if he did he'd just ask her to stay. She leaned in and kissed his other cheek before pulling away and standing up. “Okay, Buggy. I'll see you.”

And with that she left, leaving him behind as he put both hands on his cheeks, wondering if the warmth he was feeling on them was from her lips or his face burning.

Doodle Dump

Been a while since I've posted a collection of bad sketches. Notes under the cut~

1-2) AC:OS Seals. So, I didn't want to give up on making those seals for you guys even though my enthusiasm for it kinda went away~ The melon soda seal feels like it's missing something, and I think the sea captain seal is giving too much Admiral Bobbery for its own good, so I might redo that one entirely. I don't hate them, but somehow they're not reading as very "Animal Crossing" to me. I think I need to get more creative about the facial features.

3) Pudding. Another attempt of designing Yuru's main mask. I think it's cute, but I'm still not sold on it. I like the colors at least, but I think I want the mask to have a big gaping mouth so he doesn't need to take it off to eat. I'm just having a hard time keeping it cute when the mouth is open.

I dunno if Pudding is gonna be their final name, but I guess it suits them.

4) Kun3h0 ver. 4(?). I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but I just can't stop trying to redesign Kun3h0. Lately, I've been thinking that I'd like to try and make her a little less symmetrical for more visual interest. Originally the change was as simple as just adding the gauntlet to one arm (similar to be VERY early iterations of my "vtuber sona" with their one-paw glove), but then I started changing her more, and ended up with this. It's cute, but somehow I think it makes her theming even less apparent XP (her tummy lines were doing A LOT to sell the fact that she's a robot and not someone just dressed in sci-fi-ish gear).

I changed her eye color to green to draw in focus to her face (which is important for a V-Tuber design). Originally I thought I was achieving that by making the hair so much darker than everything else, thus drawing attention to the head, but I think changing the eye color to something unique helps even more with directing your eyes straight to the face.

I dunno. I like it aesthetically, but I feel like I'm losing the story here. In the last design, even though it was kinda generic, just having the clear indicator that she was inhuman did a lot to inform her character, but when I lose that, I lose the one real point of interest she had.

Then again, I've never truly had a good grasp on Kun3h0 as a character, so maybe that's what's wrong. Maybe if I sit down and actually write even a basic backstory for her, then I'd have some more direction besides, "girly robot Y2K inspired game character with a heart/bunny motif".

5-6) P2 Kliff (Banana Split/Original). So, I wanted to make a version of Kliff that fits more into my aesthetics. (Read: I wanted to make him pink). It isn't meant to be a replacement for him, just an alternate palette. In fact, I kinda liked this outfit enough to try it in his original colors too, and I think it works~

However, I dunno if I completely like the Banana Split colors

The outfit is based on this sketch from Kliff's original concept drawings.

I have NO idea what's going on in his chest area. They can't be the buttons on the top because he's wearing a turtleneck (unless it's a vest, and he's seriously wearing 3 layers in this fit). I don't think it's a lanyard because he already has a name tag on his shirt.

So I interpreted it as a necklace. I dunno, I've always felt like one of Kliff's understated traits is that he's clearly fashion conscious given how much he accessorizes and that he has the confidence to even run around in a coat that yellow, so I don't think it's out of the question that he'd wear more jewelry.

fic wip roundup (Les Mis)

————— - the crow one Somewhere in the east coast American suburbs, someone was scheming. Someone was always scheming, of course, but this time it was Jean Prouvaire who was scheming. They stared longingly out the window, a laptop with far too many tabs open balanced in their lap. They sat cross-legged in the bay window overlooking the street, lamenting the manicured turf grass lawns and the ever-present leaf blowers of the suburban soundscape. 

——————

Paint fight??

It wasn't entirely clear whose idea the paint was. [Narrator] was choosing to blame everyone collectively.

Oh, yes. In theory, animal painting was very cute and fun. Bring in some local kids to fingerpaint the most patient of the light-colored horses and mules and introduce them to the animals, and give the animals paint brushes and make some cute art for fundraising. Nothing could possibly go wrong here, nope.

————

Sheep shearing! And garment making. And whatever else I wanna throw in there

It was always a little terrifying when Jehan got snagged on a new idea, you couldn’t really blame the sheep for running from them. Unfortunately, it was now [narrator’s] job to help catch and shear said sheep.

Les Amis on vacation 1

(Jehan uses she/he pronouns)

“Jehan, why the hell do you have so many bags?” Eponine greeted her. 

“Hello to you too, dear.” he replied. Marius hovered nervously in the doorway, looking like a muppet whose puppeteer forgot the lines. “Come in, come in!” she invited, beckoning. “I’m almost ready to go.” Eponine looked skeptically at the pile of five bulging bags, then outside to her ancient Toyota Camry, and back to the bags.

“Uh huh.” she said, not seeming confident in Jehan’s vacation preparedness skills.

————-

Les Amis on vacation 2 (written while I was annoyed at being on a plane and the only one awake)

Who thought flying for eleven hours straight was a good idea. Seriously, who? Joly would like to have a stern word with them. Unfortunately, in this case, the person who thought this was a good idea was Cosette, so even if he didn’t have a boyfriend draped over his shoulder, he would not be giving any stern words. Still, his joints were killing him. Even with the compression socks and lumbar pillow and Dramamine, Joly was not having A Good Time. He looked out the window, eyeing the landscape far below them, and the closer cloudscape. It was somewhat mononous, but still very pretty. Bored of the view out the window, Joly glanced around to see what his friends were doing. Combeferre was reading; Jehan was crocheting a stack of heart granny squares; Cosette, Musichetta, and Courfeyrac were having a very intense discussion that involved a lot of waving Pinterest pages around; Marius was asleep and Grantaire was doodling on his arm while Enjolras watched with amusement; Feuilly and Bahorel were watching something together, and Eponine was switching back and forth between watching over their shoulders and writing something on her laptop. Joly glanced at the countdown screen: four more hours. He held back a groan and shifted in his seat, trying to find a moderately less painful sitting position without jostling Bossuet.

Day 05 - Stamp

“What are you reading there?”, a familiar voice pulled A'viloh from his thoughts as he browsed through the notebook in his lap. He looked up to find Rael standing beside him.

“Ah, Rael! There you are! Did Rowena have what we need?”

“Fortunately yes!”, the Viera said and tossed a small bag with crafting materials to A'vi while they said down on the stairs beside him. “What kind of book is that?”

“Oh, that!”, A'viloh exclaimed, closed the notebook and handed it to Rael. “Zhloe’s little sister gave it to me while I waited for you!”

Rael took the book an turned it over in their hands. It was a rough leather cover with one leather cord to keep it closed and another one threaded in at th back to keep some rough paper sheets fixed inside. It was clearly self-made and although the workmanship wasn’t the best it seemed to do what it was supposed to do. Wondrous Tails was written in uneven letters on the cover and Rael had to smirk about the funny spelling mistake.

In the inside of the notebook Rael found lots of uneven pages divided by colorful pieces of papers. Most pages were still blank apart from empty grids consisting of wobbly lines and a few words scrawled here and there in the handwriting of a child.

The first few pages however had some notes on them already, written in a familiar small handwriting, that looked at least a tiny bit more clean and practiced, and a few tiny doodles here and there. The content of these texts surprised Rael.

“This one describes Ifrit? Did you write that, A'vi?”

“I did!”, A'viloh nodded. “Zhloe told her sister about us and so Khloe asked me for help because she thought there must be lots of adventurous stories we have to tell! You know, there are quite a few orphans here in Idyllshire and Khloe wants to cheer them up with exciting stories. I found the idea very cute, so I decided to help her. I mean, if it makes these kids happy I can afford a few minutes to write some things down in here, right?”

“Hmmm…”, Rael made and browsed a few more of the pages. “That sound like a very sweet idea to be honest. I just hope our stories are not too exciting for them…”

Excitedly A'viloh’s ears twitched up. “Our? So you want to help too?”

“Maybe”, the Viera shrugged. “Why not?…”

A'viloh beamed. “Great! She’s going to be so happy about this!”

So much excitement made Rael smile faintly too. After a few more pages they paused and pointed to another of these wobbly grids, just that this one wasn’t empty but instead had a few colorful stamps on it. A tiny yellow chocobo baby in one corner, a dancing green cactuar in another and also what looked like a birthday cake on one side of the grid.

“Oh these!”, A'viloh added and pointed at the colorful stamps. “See, for each story we write down Khloe will give us one stamp and once we have a certain number she promised me a reward!”

“A reward?”, with a disbelieving smirk on their face Rael raised an eyebrow. “What kind of reward would a little girl have to offer? Seashells and pebbles?”

“That’s rude!”, the Miqo'te scolded. “She says she sometimes gets some things for free from Rowena, which she wants to trade for stories.”

The look on Rael’s face turned even more incredulous. “Rowena doesn’t give anything useful away for free, you know that A'vi. Better don’t expect much…”

But A'viloh just shrugged. “I would be fine with a pretty pebble or seashell. It’s not really about the reward. I just wanted to help these kids…”

Thoughtfully Rael nodded and browsed back a few pages to look at A'viloh’s entries. On one page they paused and pointed a small doodle that looked like a particularly wrinkled potato with tiny legs and arms as well as an angry face drawn onto it.

“What’s that?”

“What? You can’t tell?”, A'viloh asked and folded his arms in front of his chest. “That’s Titan of course!”

“Titan?”, Rael replied and began to laugh. For a moment A'viloh just stared at them angrily but then he had to laugh too.

“Maybe I will leave the doodles to you next time…”

chat i'm doing greenflower week

i'm a day or so late but that's fine. my plan is to compile all the writings into one ao3 fic when i'm done

Day 1: Childhood/Present/Future

i did present but interpreted it as 'gift-giving' bc i had no clue what else to do for the prompt.

around 628 words :)

“How’s this?”

Lloyd raised the paper up to Brad. He looked up from his homework to see what the green ninja was showing him.

“Um.” It was a drawing. A doodle of…someone. “It’s nice.” He offered.

Lloyd had taken up a habit of doodling when he was bored. Problem was that Lloyd, for all his talents, was not the best artist.

He was improving, sure, Brad could tell it was a person this time. But he genuinely couldn’t work out anymore than that. “Is it Gene?”

Wrong answer. Lloyd looked offended. “What? No, it’s-” He double checked the paper to make sure he had shown Brad the right drawing. “Yeah. It’s you.”

Oh. Brad had been guessing. He thought the lines around the eyes were a little thicker than usual and figured they were glasses, but apparently not. “Well, it’s still pretty nice.”

Lloyd didn’t agree. “Not if you couldn’t figure out who it was.”

“It’s nice if you’re going abstract.”

“Hm.” Lloyd put his paper down and didn’t say anymore.

Brad went back to his work. Definite integrals were going to be the death of him.

The rustle of paper next to him grabbed Brad’s attention. He sighed. There was another issue with Lloyd’s new habit.

Lloyd never went out to find any scratch paper to doodle on. Hence, he used the closest piece of paper he could find. Which meant…

“Lloyd. Can you not doodle on my homework?”

“Well, what else am I supposed to doodle on? Your table?”

“No, please don’t do that." He proposed a solution. "How about some scratch paper?”

“Do you have any?”

Brad clicked his tongue. He only had one in the immediate vicinity and it was already covered top to bottom with his math.

A thought came to mind, though. “You know what? I have something better.”

Brad got up from his seat. Where did he put it? Oh, the drawer.

He found this thing while window shopping and bought it on impulse. “Here.” He slid the object across the table to Lloyd.

Lloyd picked it up. A flat rectangle, wrapped in gift paper. “What is it?”

Brad feigned innocence and shrugged. “Open it.”

Lloyd was skeptical, but did as asked. He tossed the wrapping paper on the table and revealed…a book?

It was unmarked, with no title. The cover was covered in a jungle pattern, composed mostly of green leaves and vines, with a few flowers to give diversity to the color scheme.

It was a very well-done cover, but Lloyd wasn’t impressed with Brad’s sentiment. “No offense, Brad, I’d rather draw on your table than read.”

Brad laughed at the joke and Lloyd’s confusion. “No, idiot. Open the book.”

Lloyd obeyed and- Oh.

It was not a book. The pages were blank. It was a sketchbook.

He put the book up to his face to hide his blush. “I may be dumb.”

“No, you’re not.” Brad snickered and pulled the book down. Lloyd wouldn’t meet his eyes, however. “You can draw in that, though.”

Lloyd flipped through the blank pages of the book. “When did you get this?”

“Sometime back. I was gonna save it for some occasion, but now’s a good time.”

“Well, thanks. Can I keep it?”

“Absolutely. I’m not gonna use it.” 

Lloyd began to use the book for its intended purpose and Brad went back to his work. He turned the piece of homework paper that Lloyd had drawn towards himself and brought his eraser to the little drawing in the corner.

Brad really couldn’t parse who the intended person (if it even was a person) was supposed to be, but the drawing was still cute. Lloyd seemed passionate about it.

He couldn’t bring himself to erase the doodle. His teacher would be fine with a little scribble.

-i'm imagining for this au everyone's middle school aged, so still like, kids, just a bit older

-ignore the fact that i fucked up the colors on all the text i SHOULD have had the colors shift between lines it helps legibility but i didn't fsr??? i'll figure that out in later art dw

-GOD THESE COLORS TOOK FOREVER the og colors are SUPER desaturated and also more on the pink side of purple but I prefer to use saturated colors and wanted to go more towards the blue side of purple (than the colors are closer to complimentary colors between mysterion and kenny)

-ended up going with a very soft look (rounded edges and ovals and softer lines) i was thinkng off of the batman inspo actually and thinking about that scene in the lego batman movie where the brick notes batmans design isn't very hero looking, i mean it is by western standards but like when i think of a good hero and symbol of justice and hope i think of twintaild magical girls with ultra frilly skirts and cute mascots and sparkles and stars everywhere but like.. i'm biased.... anyway I chose the softer lines to make him feel softer and instead relied any edgy vibes on the colors and body language rather than the shapes (i mean i still used triangles but yeah)

-I ended up not going with brown boots cause i didn't want to have to tie in another color, and i had the epic idea of the little question mark symbols on the soles of the shoes and the m logo on the ... toungue i think it's called?

-so I originally wasn't gonna show his hair but I thought it would help to balance the colors more as the white shorts felt too bright

-i didn't plan to post this or else i would've tried to better phrase all the writing lmao

-i went with rounded feet to make him feel like, floaty?

-one smaller challenge was keeping a short stature for kenny while still making him look like, menancing and powerful, another reason why i went with the graceful floaty feet, I also had the shorts flair out with that triangle shape like they do to emphasize and blend together the general shape of the body

-miiight have accidentally made him more androgynous~ my ass spent years studying and learning how to make characters appear masculine than said 'yeah no thankyou everyone is going to be at least a LITTLE bit pretty <3'

-ah look how nice and not over crowded the doodles are... yeah say goodbye to empty space cause Cartman/theCoon's completely lacks it. I like drawing fluffy animal ears and found the need to label all the drawings "furry" or "menance" so yeah

-i'm that one bitch that says fuck canon even canon doesn't give a shit bout canon so why should i? and never draws kenny with blue eyes, always either light brown or preferrable purple. mostly cause i feel blue + blonde is too basic and I find that the purple makes for a nicer contrast and overall pallete. Cause brown kinda just blends in, cause then his entire color scheme is all within the same hue range, but purple sticks out better + leaning into the magenta side of it looks great with orange

-petition for the southpark fan wiki to acknowledge how fuckign similar Mysterion and the mysterious mare do well are

-funfacts!! considered having the buckles be silver instead of gold (changed to balance with the blonde hair and tie back in the orange/yellow hues) considered having the inside of the cape be a lighter shade of purple either pulling in more pink or blue tinted shades, changed cause it made the overall color scheme to bright

-in case you were wondering 90% of my art has the same stupid level of thought put into it as posts i do add notes onto, I just figured most people don't want a ramble about shape launguage and colors on their silly blorbo fanart posts lmao. but if you find any of this interesting or heck if you ever have a ramble about your own art my inbox is always open~ i love getting to discuss drawing :D
