Here's a shitpost meme I drew a while back, with ~book 1 pre-team trio

Sorry I couldn't do the HWFWM fanart stream I wanted to do on Monday, I still had to wrap up stuff for the festival I was drawing at and then I got sick >w>;

Maybe its because I'm sick but I don't care that it's not glazed. I am so TIRED about fretting about posting art online. I don't feel particularly welcome on the internet as an artist anymore, but I still wanna make n share stuff, you know?

These are amazing. Ngl I want the shade hat, maybe then I'll be able to step outside without being blinded.

Prompt 5 is "Witch" ....let me explain😅 I've seen witch hat designs that represent things like zodiac signs, seasons, and holidays - and I took that idea and applied it to Jason's familiars from He Who Fights With Monsters.

Shade - It's classic, elegant, and perfectly symmetrical. It'd be velvet with a patent leather band, and a silky sheer veil to cover the wearer's face. All in black, of course.

Colin - everything looks a little wet. It has a longer, crooked peak and is wrapped in worm-like cords. Secret teeth underneath!

Gordon - is his the prettiest?? The upper is a sparkly blue-black velvet, with colorful, pintucked fabric underneath. I'd want to put lights under the underneath fabric, so it would be glowing softly.

Didn't feel like a complete Valentine's Day this year without another stupid HWFWM ship fanart! Here's one of the oldest pairings of the book series, Clive and his wife❤️

Also the best Valentine treat for best boy Colin. Looks like wagyu beef? I hope its wagyu beef.

This scene wasn't described, but I had it in my brain during books 4-6; Colin holding Jason's phone so he n Gordon could just sit in the corner and watch old movies on it. What cute little apocalypse boys 🥺

Saw a great post by Obvious Plant and had to make a version with my favorite Gary, from He Who Fights With Monsters!

[biscuitwitchling]

I was doing an art challenge on my Twitch/main blog, MiscWitchling, and the last prompt was "Costume party" aaaaand there was a costume party scene in book 4!

From left to right we got; Ian dressed as a pirate, Erika dressed as the Riddler, Jason being a spooky sorta Sith in the back, Amy dressed as the fourth Doctor Who and Kaito dressed as a Miami Vice guy. Is this the first time I've drawn Amy and Kaito? Oops.

The full outfit I designed for Farrah in the last meme post!

Like I said in that post, I designed her everyday adventure outfit to be a gambeson, since she conjures armor to fight in. I realized my mental image of her outfit was something close to Nausicaa from the Miyazaki manga, so I gave her similar leather padded boots. (also tbh she'd probably wear her hair up, but I wanted to draw it down)

Also! Spoiler? This is early books design. I have an idea for what she'd wear later, when she's doing less adventuring

[biscuitwitchling]

I've drawn Rufus before but I wanted to make a better version - a bit more true to my comic-y style than trying too hard with rendering I'm not as comfortable with. This time with a full outfit! This is particularly books 1-3, so Bronze Rank.

Design notes!

he's described often as a very beautiful man

he denies shining his bald head

he has one gold and one silver sword with his sun/moon powers, so I used those and his blue boots for the palette

he has some aforementioned ridiculously ostentatious blue boots that twitch chat helped me make as glorious as possible

I always felt like he'd have a fancy man suit-style adventurer outfit.

Did you know his family runs a school?

[biscuitwitchling]

First book meme!

Also I spent way too long designing an adventurer outfit for Farrah just for this. I figured since she has conjured armor her normal gear could be lighter, and aimed for a red gambeson outfit with flame/volcano inspired details.

I was going to wait to post that full Farrah design when I get her obsidian armor design done and post them together, but should I just post it now?

A HWFWM character I've been meaning to post for a while - Vincent from Greenstone, books 1-3!

His most noted features were his magnificent mustache and hat with large feather! He ended up looking suspiciously musketeer-y, but this is pretty much exactly how I pictured him in my head reading it so I'm happy with it.

[biscuitwitchling]

I love the Barbie movie mugshot meme and I missed drawing bad fanart for He Who Fights With Monsters

[biscuitwitchling]

I missed doing He Who Fights With Monsters fanart! This is from Book 9 - the especially butler-y design Shade now has and Jason (totally not Colin)

[biscuitwitchling]

Did a He Who Fights With Monsters fan art livestream today! I didn't draw this one on stream but it's one I showed off and have been meaning to post online for a while; the acolyte of Knowledge, Gabrielle 📖

This is specifically iron-rank, as seen in Greenstone in the first 3 books, with her conjured hammer. Also, my take for the Church of Knowledge clergy robes, which were described as "flowing robes of blue and white, with a sigil of a book sewn prominently into them"

[biscuitwitchling]

Cute lil fanart based on a scene from book 8!

Clive with Onslow, Sophie with Stash, and a very hopeful but soon to be disappointed Colin.

My twitch chat got mad about how many of these I have done or almost done but haven't posted so I'll try to be better about it! At least with the ones I don't feel like I need to redraw ^^;

[biscuitwitchling]

Another prompt from the list on the main blog: I got to "Tower" and could only really think about the tower of the Builder in the Reaper Trial astral space, so good enough excuse to draw my take on Thadwick Mercer!

Design notes! I'm going to call the three versions Normal, Possessed, and Not.

Normal: I know Jason said "Shouldn't your hair be more oily?" but I still wanted to draw him with his hair slicked back. I'm still struggling a bit with Greenstone fashion, but I went with green (opposite the warm colors I like to draw Humphrey in) and a popped collar for extra douchiness.

Possessed: I gave him ashier skin tone and a bit of under-eye shadow since his body is kinda half-dead, but there's still a note about how he looks more handsome without the perpetual sneer. The square pupils and blocky halo aren't described in the book, I just like them.

Not: The energy vampire, which consumed the gold (or maybe diamond) soul that was protecting a sinister sword. I switched his outfit to reds to match the swords, with a slightly more Vertesse style since I figured he'd change from the brown cultist robes to clothes he got from a victim from Emir's crew. As of book 9, he hasn't been seen since book 6, so I still have that mental image of a slightly tragic, overpowered but confused new being with a familiar face.

If you join my Twitch streams when I'm working on random art, you'd probably know that I have a small pile of HWFWM fanart that I keep forgetting to post!

So catching up sharing things, here's my take on Craig Vermillion, the Vampire Jason meets in the normal world! He kinda had two faces - the menacing Boogeyman and the guy that owns a café and plays boardgames on Jason's yacht. (and yeah I had to trace that 1967 Maserati Ghibli, cars are not really my thing)
