...This chapter has a lot of butterflies for some reason. I guess I'm just in a butterfly mood, lol. How to combat all the angst and tragedy??? Butterflies. Butterflies everywhere.
I wonder how confusing this all looks without context.
Spoilers for when they first meet in the new timeline? Mayhaps. In a more comedic form, anyway. But I've been wanting to doodle it for forever SO. Boom.
No particular reason for this except that I had the really really strong urge to draw the duo in some wedding fae garb, and had some new brushes I wanted to try out. I also almost, almost put Rupert in a veil. But I decided on laurels instead. And you can’t tell because of the dress, but Irene’s barefoot too.
Because in the Red Kingdom universe, fae don’t wear shoes.
Rupert’s outfit is honestly probably just two really long pieces of magic silk wrapped around his torso and tied up to resemble a gown. You’ve got the white piece, which wraps around his chest once and then drapes around his hips like a skirt (giving a nice view of his legs, particularly the right one) and then you have the slightly blue one wrapped around the white that’s around his chest, then wrapped around his waist and tied into a ribbon. And then a matching shawl. Because elegance.
...It’s five am and I needses to sleepses. Good night. XD
This song felt super fitting for Faith. 🤣 I probably should have put Astarias in the “people to protect” line, but y’know what it still works. She and Rupert don’t always get along, but she’s protective of him.
Guess who updated the prologue while still waiting on the reference sketch from her sis??? This lady, right here. Woo! Finally. Now I just need to fix up the next four chapters and we’ll be good, lol.
Damien, Rhycelia, and Sasha make their appearance! Though Sasha is fast asleep so... they don’t really do anything but look cute. And grown-up Amelia~! She’s so pretty. Daddy!Rupert owns my soul.
Okay, that’s a lie. Rupert in general owns my soul. Literally, 2016 me was coming up with the character design ideas and I drew Rupert and I just- smacked down a backstory for him on the spot. Ahhh, good times, good times. And then every time I drew him he just kept getting taller and taller until he settled at his height of 6′5. Truly, it was meant to be.
Hopefully you guys enjoy the new version of the prologue much more.
