#doodles from the crypt

[doodle-zombie]

Belladonna got a reboot. I wanted her to still be a redhead... technically but more on the pastel side of things. At a glance she seems non-threatening but she will gladly demolish you ♥

Helltober Day 23, The Crypt Keeper

Spoiling Astarion?

Bringing him back little things that remind you of him whenever he stays back at camp just so he knows you're still thinking of him while you're apart.

Astarion being so used to receiving little gifts from your travels that when you arrive back at camp, he's standing by your tent with his palm outstretched just waiting to see what you've brought him this time. The giddy little grin that's plastered on his face when you fork over the shiniest object you could get your paws on. All varying in degrees of monetary value, for sure, but all with a unique story of their own.

A couple of old coins from an ancient crypt. The entrance of which you'd all stumbled upon when Karlach punched a wall of a cave in victory after a particularly tough battle, only to come back with a handful of bones and cobwebs. The look of shock on her face when the entire wall came crumbling down on the group was enough to have you in stitches, entirely too weak from laughter to stand. You laid beneath the rubble for so long that Gale had assumed you developed a concussion and needed rescuing.

The PRETTIEST, crystal goblet that you'd stolen right from under a rich lady's nose under the guise that you were testing her drink for poison. You'd downed her ale in two gulps the second you exited the building. Was in the middle of patting yourself on the back for being oh-so cunning when you nearly fell on your ass. It was a sick, twisted coincidence that her ale did, in fact, turn out to be poisoned. But, at least you had a spare antidote on you that you gulped down before Shadowheart could find you in such a state. (And make fun of you, no doubt.)

A set of handmade jewelry– not stolen this time, if you can believe it. Wyll had pointed out the small shop to you while the two of you were out shopping for supplies. Said something about how it might be a good idea to pick out a new pair of socks since you'd been complaining about how holey yours had become after so much running around. Which was a good idea, truly– but the second you'd set eyes on the shop window, you knew what you wanted. A matching necklace and earring set, lovingly crafted with silver chain, so very delicate. So very understated that one could almost miss it among the rest of the more garish examples that sat alongside. Three, very small, opalescent stones shone so pretty at you beneath the sunlight that you could hardly look away. You would have given the shopkeep your left kidney just to see Astarion wearing them, but thankfully, it wasn't necessary. (You became so feral in your excitement to hear the very reasonable price that you nearly threw your entire gold pouch at the clerk's head and then kissed him on the mouth.)

You're an eager one. Astarion never has to wait– always receives his gifts before you can so much as slip your travel pack off of your shoulders. He goes real quiet for a moment. Has this far away look while gazing down at whatever it is, turning it over in his palm a couple of times to really study it.

The two of you sit together while you go through the rest of the day's spoils, and he listens while you tell him all about how you found today's special little trinket. Insists you spare no details in how you acquired it. (Unless any of those details are boring, dear. Do spare him of those.)

You know that there have to be some things he enjoys more than others. You know that there has to be some things you've given him that he outright dislikes. There have been a few occasions where he'd poked fun at you for bringing back something silly. Like "The roundest pebble you'd ever seen, Astarion, look at it roll!" or "This drawing of the two of you that you'd doodled on a stray sheet of parchment when you couldn't find anything else no matter how hard you tried!". BUT he has never refused anything you've chosen to bring back for him.

He thinks it's rather sweet that you've dedicated yourself to proving you still think of him when he stays behind. Wonders why you are the way that you are. Sort of loves you to death for it. Definitely does NOT invest in a bag of holding for everything once it all begins to stack up.

Definitely doesn't insist on you taking one half of the jewelry set so you always have a little piece of one another on you at all times. That would be ridiculous. (Earrings or necklace, darling?)

Sequel?

[dingodoodles]

Hiya dingo! I've been listening to sands for a while now. And it makes me wonder. What inspired Rooster's character?

So he was actually a random warm up doodle I did back in 2018, based off of a set of dice colors. But I loved the design so much I wanted to make a character out of him. His personality was mostly inspired by "What character type have I not played before?" Rooster is the most genuine and sweetest character I've played. Like not a malicious bone in him, kinda guy. He just wants to help people. Usually my characters have SOMETHING that makes them a "bad person" that they are conscious of in one shape or form. Which I enjoy, as it serves as a tool for growth. With Sips is was pretty obvious what his issues were along with Bree and Cooper. But with Rooster I've actually struggled with him being all sunshine and rainbows. I want him to mess up and make mistakes. He does, but not the same way my previous characters have. For Rooster, it feels a bit out my hands as he's being pulled along more than driving the story. His issue I think will be a lot of external factors and taking control of HIS life instead of purely severing others. Typical people pleaser stuff. A Genie just felt like that would be an issue lol I want to keep him happy go-lucky but I know he has some lessons to learn. I've taken some inspiration from Luffy/Goku and SpongeBob for his personality lol I also built his personality on frat boys in college (18-22yr olds) and people who are adrenaline junkies lol He's just always buzzing and has a hard time focusing. Definitely has ADHD. For his magic I've been taking inspiration from weird eldritch horror/ Tales from the crypt as well. I wanted there to be a bit of un-ease to him. Just slight >:3c (well that was a rant lol)

I have no regrets. None at all.

Timestamp Roulette Art Challenge: Eclipse

This became a miniature portrait page. On the right, you can witness a total eclipse of the Frase, thanks to that dark, dark minute 22 from the crypt scene! :D I spent way longer on this page than I intended - long enough that it wasn't even fun anymore. So, just for fun and for flow, here's the same composition sketched in about five minutes:

It's a (semi)continuous line drawing, or whatever the heck I should call it: put the pencil on the paper and don't lift it unless absolutely necessary, just move, move, move. It's super quick, and easily becomes crude and caricaturish, but I'm (sometimes) surprised how easy it is to capture some level of likeness this way, compared to my usual approach. A favorite doodle from last weekend when I first started toying with this method (based on a screenshot from Mojo Rising, maybe? just saw it somewhere here recently):

This style also has the benefit that I don't get a crick in my neck from holding the pencil too tightly. Just doodling and relaxing!

Come doodle with me!

[dragon-subway]

wait did i ever tell you guys molly's full name (molotov cocktail) is a translation localisation? the literal translation is molluska cocktail, after Senator Molluska another oc of mine i made soley for this. he's pretty much a big snail with a mustache.

[cityofmeliora]

What’s your take on the ghouls ? Like do you think they’re rlly non human (if so what like) or do you go with the more human appearance?

though it's not my personal headcanon, i love non-human Ghoul art! shout out to @bonesy-doodles my favorite Ghoul artist :3

anyway tho, i personally think the Ghouls are humans– specifically undead / resurrected humans.

all signs point to them being human.

Nihil's Ghouls from Era 0 are obviously human.

Primo says the Ghoul Writer is human.

That’s right. Ghost have their music written for them. In one online interview, a so-called “ghoul writer” is mentioned who supposedly composes melodies and lyrics with the help of ungraspable powers from beyond – devilish whispers instruct him which words should accompany which chords, and so forth. “There is indeed a human individual who composes patterns of tones and words which operate ever so beautifully in unison. However, I am of the belief that there is a higher being who speaks through this individual,” asserts the Pope. Sweden Rock Magazine (November 2010)

the Meliora Era video The Summoning (part 1) from 2015 shows the Ghouls are humans who wear costumes. Sister Imperator is talking to the Ghouls here, and she presents their new masks to them.

PHOTOS: The Summoning

anyway, i like the idea that the Ghouls are undead because of this quote from Metal Myths:

DUSTY COMSTOCK: If the breaking of the sacred bloodline wasn't enough, what Sister Imperator did next was shocking. She had orchestrated, and had carried out, the assassinations of Papas 1, 2, and 3. They'd been housed in The Ministry since their retirements, as is customary, but Sister, with the collaboration and support of Papa Nihil, had a different plan for what should become of them: reanimate them, and use them as 'faceless ghouls' on the impending tour. Once on tour, these former Papas would be entombed in a traveling crypt, as in the catacombs of old. Metal Myths: Ghost Pt. 2 (April 2022)

this quote describes the Papas' dead bodies being reanimated as "faceless ghouls", implying that Ghouls are dead people.

and also this quote from The Summoning.

SISTER IMPERATOR: It started with a vision: you were all standing before me, hoodwinked and bound with both caddy and shack! I led you each toward a coffin, where you were made to lie down. The lids were closed. And one by one, I placed a level on the top to make sure you were still and cold in the darkness. Iron nails fell from my hands and scattered like leaves around my feet. The Summoning V: The Square And Hammer (September 2016)

it's not clear if this is just a vision or if it was a real thing that happened at some point, but it shows a flashback of young Sister Imperator while she's saying this, so maybe it did, IDK. anyway. Sister Imperator is describing kidnapping the Ghouls, tying them up, and then burying them alive.

i think the Ghouls are made rather than literally summoned from hell. i think Ghouls are members of the cult who are sacrificed and turned into undead servants.

i also like this idea because it means you can come up with backstories for the Ghouls easily!

The Summoning videos use the phrase "THE CLERGY HAS ADJOURNED AND THE NAMELESS GHOULS ARE SUMMONED...", but they didn't mean "summoned" as in like, called up from hell, they just mean "summoned" as in like, called to attend these meetings asdkjfadskjfadsf.

Daily Doodle - Alternia

Felt compelled to try and make a Homestuck based Blood Crypt proxy, so here's that I guess. I tried to copy the Homestuck artstyle a bit? But also, I was super lazy, so the cloud and New York skyline are totally stolen from a web search. Since it's for a proxy, I kind of feel that's fine? Like, this is nothing more than a fun little art project, so who cares.

Enjoy!
