ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...
the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin
this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.
you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.
also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

Random hcs that have been on my mind for the past couple days: now in doodle format!
Text for each drawing written out under the cut in case it's not clear or anyone wants to translate it!
(1)
<- Somehow soft??
<-Sometimes makes a comforting hum/rumble
<-Holding for support
(2)
<-Walks so quietly everywhere he goes
<-Is about to meet god
(3)
<-Can't see well in the dark (no eyelights)
<-Can't help himself
(4)
<-Thinks Color will turn Killer against him and convince him to run away
(5)
<-Thinks Nightmare is using them all for the negativity and has brainwashed Killer into liking it
(6)
<-Thinks if he runs and jumps at Cross as fast as he can Cross will lift him and it'll look so cool

eloise for my fellow gremlin girlie @myokk!!
so happy to have your beautiful traditional art in this fandom and that i got to see clora in it as well 💖😭😭and since it was your art of clora that inspired me to do the HL charas in ghibli style, ofc i had to give eloise the same treatment 🥰 (and ive discovered that drawing fat puffy braids in ghibli style is SOOO satisfying, highly recommend😋👌👌)
