The Shadow House

This is swap au, which main goal was to make Philip Luz's mentor and father figure👉👈. This au is silly. And it's not thought out further than the main gang, so don't ask me questions about its lore, I don't know it myself. But it's still one of my oldest and beloved aus

I've been hiding it under my desk more than 7 months for a reason, if you interested, there's an explanation under the cut

2022-2023 winter was an emotionally difficult time for me. So I created The Shadow House and found comfort and consolation in it. I was really sensitive about this au so I was afraid to show it off. And when The Finally was released it DIDN'T help

When the fandom gone crazy I thought HELL NAH, F*CK IT. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT. SHADOW HOUSE WILL STAY WITH ME BECAUSE IT'S TOO PERSONAL FOR ME AND IF SO-CALLED"FANS" START THROWING MUD AT IT, I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS

Luckily, the fandom has cooled down a bit and now I see less and less people harassing fans artists for loving Belos. And I have become less sensitive to TSH and feel ready to show it to you. I really hope you like it and if so, let me know it in the comments and tags :3💕💗💖

More Philip Sketches Because I’ve Been Dead For So Long

Sorry, gang! I know I’ve been absent for a while, but I feel rejuvenated and ready to start back!

“I am the righteous hand of God, and I am the devil that you forgot…”

🤍 TW for mild body horror!!

My apologies for the rush! This is an unfinished piece that I started in the beginning of the summer, when I was still getting accustomed to digital art (I was still learning about how to render and blend colors more gently). I got a little lazy, so forgive the crappy anatomy XD

This was inspired off of @frigidfries’s art, I immediately thought of how much Belos thinks of himself as a martyr in his own delusions . The stained glass window, depicting him as a deity and God in front of the entire Isles, is so hypocritical once the viewer can see his true intentions, which would repulse even a true monster.

(I remember listening to “Hell’s Comin’ with me” by Poor Man’s Poison on repeat while drawing this, that’s where I got the title-)

Philip Wittebane: The Deer Man. [The Deer Mansion AU]

Managed to finish this man's design xD Now that I look at him, looks like a weird mix between Howl and a Pirate... Oh well.

Anyways!! Philip would be in Eda's role in this AU. As so, he's locally known as "The Deer Man". He's a reserved and formal man, and has a Woodcrafting business. He specifically uses the portal door to get Wood from the human realm. When Collector fell into his mansion, the kid begged him to let him work with him in exchange of staying, and he reluctantly complied.

**THROWS CHIBI BELOS AT YOU**

feed, my hungry children.

[let-us-cultivate-our-garden]

I just remembered the "Please. I don't want to see another human life destroyed by this place” line, and honestly did they have scenes of Luz starting to wonder if Belos' had a point and going into the island did destroy her life? If not, they should have had.

No, they did not have Luz ever wonder how the isles affected Belos--except in the storyboards:

Luz still calls him out for trying to destroy the isles and being a hypocrite but there's still that moment of empathy in which she asks point blank: "What do you think they DID to you?!" She briefly contemplates just why someone would go so far to destroy an entire population and what his mindset might be. Unfortunately, this was not included in the final version and Belos' expression is blank instead of pleading.

Then there's this storyboard from For the Future in which Luz, Eda, and King explain to the Collector how people like Amity and Lilith became their friends:

Luz's line about "people being complicated" is in the episode but the entire exchange between her and the Collector is not even though it opens up a lot of interesting ideas and themes. Without it though, the show becomes straight up hypocritical when it states that people are complicated but reduces its villains to generic archetypes and its hero characters as being simply misguided or victims of the villains.

And no, this doesn't mean that the show should have excused Belos' actions or even forgiven him; but they could have and should have acknowledged the complexity of his character by keeping this nuance in and how the characters react to it. By doing so, the message of "people are complicated" becomes clear and strengthens the other characters as well. Luz gets to self-reflect on how she sees other people and learn that even the worst people among us are incredibly complex and have driving forces that are uncomfortably close to our own, thus making it much harder to demonize them. The Collector--instead of being a Giant Star Baby--keeps both his childlike bluntness and keen observational skills that he had in season 2, thus fleshing out the character instead of devolving him.

Regrettably, that nuance is absent from the show and we have a rather black-and-white narrative about Good vs. Evil; people are only ever really "bad" if someone tricked them or if there was a misunderstanding and all the Real Bad People are just selfish jerks who are power hungry and controlling.

This is not compelling storytelling; this is a tale as old as time. And the worst part is that there was a great story in The Owl House but it was left in the rough drafts.

Philip Wittebane Doodles: Part 1 🤍

Heya! Here are some small doodles I did, that I couldn’t get to leave my brain.

Here’s some context!:

1 and 2 are continuations of that “Orthodoxia” post I made, you can go check it out if you’d like!

3 and 4 are that one scene where Lilith punched Pip in the nose. As much as I like his character, he definitely deserved that :3

I’m making more soon, so keep your plate open!! The next ones will be more of the Wittebros content-
