Sketch dump! I havent done one of those in a while. These are all from June-July while I was on vacation.

First we have Layal! The delightful Mother of Monsters, aka the Ghost Zone’s most evil mama bear AND my take on a fem!danyal dan! I like to imagine she could pummel Dan into the ground, but that stands true for any and all of my au Dans. Bc i am INCREDIBLY biased.

She mostly lives on her island in the Ghost Zone, taking in monsters of the Infinite Realms of all kind and raising them as her own. Surprisingly enough, she does genuinely love her children. That’s about where her love ends. She stole the minotaur, his name is Asterion.

Then we have Daini-Yel! He’s from an au i’ve never actually talked about on here. He’s literally just Danny for an Epic!-inspired au. He's an unknown entity in the newly released open-adventure, odyssesy-inspired game "Nautilus", and he is not a part of the game's code :). He showed up three months after the game's initial launch, and was discovered during a live when a streamer was on their way to fight a boss much similar to Circe and the streamer accidentally took a detour and found his pathway (of which did not previously exist).

He's very friendly! And offers you, the Captain, a strange liquid with even stranger powers called "Ektolai", in order to help you fight Circe. His whole vibe and creation is literally just the song "Wouldn't You Like" from Epic. If you run into him enough times at the start of the game, you can convince him to join you on your adventure as part of the crew. He's a powerful ally and a very good friend, despite his strange awareness of the world around him...

Oh, but be warned... just like the rest of your companions, your actions have consequences and what you do affects their opinion of you. Daini is no different! Your close allies can quickly become enemies.

The introduction of the bloofer lady in the hands of children, and then in the words of adults really opens a lot of thematic potential for Lucy, and for her new second life as a vampire.

She doesn't feel real, a beautiful lady taking the blood of your playmates after they played with her? It reads as the type of morbid tales that children tell eachother. But, it's real, that young lady is the monster.

You as a child see her, sitting alone in a bench as the moon rises and reveals a weird visage, funeral white dress, wild hair, hollow eyes, and shining teeth that seem so long when she smiles; yet she is beautiful, like an older sister or a nice lady. Then you wake up in the morning, not in your bed but at the same park that you met her. With torn wounds on your neck, and no memories at all.

Lucy is now the bloofer lady. She has probably forgotten everything about her life except people (now prey) that were close to her. The bloofer lady is probably confused about her own existance, why does her body hurts so much? Why does she feels like she lost something? Who are the people that blink in her mind?

Yet all of that is secondary to her, a new vampire looking at the moon as her entire being claims for food. The bloofer lady is hungry, and she must eat to keep still, so she does. As unrefined as a starving animal.

Lucy is not the maiden that holds the hands of death, she is now the monstrous parody of the perfect victorian lady. A victim now being unsettling to nothing.

I wonder if after feeding, Lucy sees her bloody reflection somewhere, and out of trained instict she moves her hand to clean herself with a handkerchief that is not there.

okay so am I the only one who questioned how enfer walk? I don't have her yet but looking at the ptn wiki gallery her clothes are kinda idk how to put it tight? Or different. Design and color she looks beautiful but when I look at the bottom there's some sort of like spiral design it's hard to describe

I always assumed she either shuffles across the floor (a funny thought) or she somehow floats a bit but it’s only like two inches off the ground 😅

Idk, I haven’t played Enfer’s event yet as I missed it the first time it happened, but this was always my theory as to how she actually walks. She either shuffles really fast or floats, those are my only two theories…

To artists, and those not yet willing to call themselves so:

Draw it.

You have a character but you're not sure how to draw them? Try it! You are all they have, you are the only one who knows them, and it is up to you whether or not they become something outside of your head. No matter what, whoever they become, they are you. They came from your mind and hands and love and whoever that shaped them into I'm sure they are beautiful. Even if it wasn't how you imagined them, this is them now! You're raising this tiny person or creature or whatever they are and this is what they grew into! isn't that cool?

You want to draw characters but you don't have/don't want to make/still don't want to draw your OC? Make fanart! Coming from someone who avoided fanart like the plague for years of my life: fanart is a beautiful thing. You don't have to make it, but you are very much allowed to. Draw the things you love. The first real fanart I drew was ripped out and crumpled and thrown away, and now, four years later, I wish I still had the shitty she-ra drawing. It is not shameful to draw someone else's character. Don't be little me, tossing aside anything not completely her own brainchild as lesser. Fanart is amazing at helping you push out of your comfort zone. It can help you learn character design and find your people and discover new joys of creating and it is so, so important.

You're worried about not doing the character/subject(s) justice? Draw them bad! Pick the easiest thing you can possibly think of to portray, then do it. You don't need character accuracy if they're hugging. You don't need perfect designs if it's just a faceless conversation. You're allowed to omit the hard parts and work your way up to those when you're ready. I have learned every hard part of my art (except legs) by drawing it on a mermaid! My mermaids used to have weird circular dragon heads (think deadly nadders from httyd) because faces were also too hard! I learned legs by drawing them on a person with wings instead of arms, and made their feet three-toed talons when THAT was too much! How's that for a cop-out? And you know what? I can draw whole entire people now.

I promise if you keep with it you will get better. It sounds cliche, but you really have to trust the process and practice and push yourself and give it time and all of those things. I am giving you a kiss on the forehead and sending you off to do Good Art. Even if you don't think it's good, I think it's Good Art, and I love it and I love you and I hope you can love them too.

A song for that particular situation where you've really had one too many close conversations with someone to not remember their name (and YET). Enjoy!
