Here are some notebook drawings from the start of the school year!

I really need to get some sort of scanner so these images aren’t so janky. For now, we’ll just have to cope.

Brandish redesign!!

+preliminary sketches and some headcanon stuff under the cut!

My version of Brandish is half human and half celestial spirit. I have no idea if that’s possible, but I think it would be an interesting concept to explore, so here we are. Her father was a spirit, I don’t really care who and I don’t think it matters, and her mother was a human who died in childbirth because giving birth to a spirit is kind of an ordeal. Brandish was born in the human realm but had trouble fitting in because of her immense magic power, and because being unable to live in the spirit realm makes her prone to sickness. She doesn’t have a gate to be closed, but she has the same problem Leo did when he was trapped in the human realm, and she’s keeping herself alive with her magic power, like how she keeps Natsu alive in the anime. (If you shrink your problems away it’s almost like they’re not there!!) This overuse of power makes her very tired and unmotivated, and she prefers not to fight if necessary. She’s a smooth talker but can become easily angered. She’s good friends with Dimaria and Wall and balances out their power-hungry war-ready attitudes.

Brandish’s conflict with Lucy stems from how she thinks celestial spirits shouldn’t be used to help people fight and should instead live their own lives in the spirit realm away from humans. Ultimately, her whole thing boils down to: she should not exist, it’s painful for her to exist, and so she resents the relationships humans and spirits have because she believes they can cause nothing but pain. It’s very single-minded of her, but she’s spent her whole life feeling out of place, so it’s really all she can believe. Lucy helps convince her otherwise by showing her the strong bonds she and her spirits have, and Brandish decides to quit the war halfway through to travel to the spirit realm with Lucy’s spirits and live happily ever after, and maybe reconnect with her dad.

Here are some of the initial sketches I did to try and figure out what I wanted for her design—this is super rough stuff with only highlighter and pen:

I wanted her silhouette to be similar to her original design’s, but for her to be wearing something that looks a little more comfortable/movable because she’s too lazy to be wearing chains all the time, come on. I figured one piece underneath everything made sense so she doesn’t even have to change clothes entirely to change up her look! Peak exhausted behavior.

Once I had an okay idea for what I wanted her outfit to be, I copied some manga panels I like in my style with the new outfit, and then freestyled some more doodles to understand her personality a little more.

This was my almost-finalized design that I did in the car one day waiting for my college classes to start where everything became a lot baggier and comfier-looking. For the record, I think the piece under her jacket and pants is more like a leotard than a corset so it has a lot of movement. Adding the tail happened on a whim in my final pieces because I wanted something else to show that she isn’t human besides just the horns.

That’s all, I think!! If you read this far, thank you so much! Who knew I had a lot to say!! I thought about this one a lot!! I’ve been working on it for months!! Very proud of it, though. This is the first time I’ve ever shown my process like this, so if you feel so inclined, let me know if you thought it was neat. Okay bye!!

I need to make a proper sketch sheet for Brandish and then the Spriggan 12 are done.

I completely changed August because the rage I felt when the chapter dropped that revealed who he was forever altered how I see him as a character.

Obligatory Spriggan 12 Headcannons Post

I have a list, and I only have one story idea I can explore this stuff for so I'm going to post a list instead:

Zeref first heard of Spriggans from Mavis. However, since he's not exactly an expert on fairy lore, he might have...misinterpreted a few details when he decided his Emperor alias should translate to "ugly fairy."

Once she found out about it a century later, it frustrated Mavis to no end. Seriously, it's a miracle once revived she didn't immediately grab a book on fairies and march right up to Zeref solely to lecture him on how many inaccuracies he made to his face.

Larcade...is actually fully aware he is Etherius. In fact, the idea that he isn't valued and just a stepping stone for END's creation is a massive insecurity of his. The fact that he broke down on being told he was a prototype wasn't because of what was being said but *who* was saying it.

That said, Larcade was once a human child who took a liking to Zeref and Anna on their travels...and ended up dead during a particularly brutal dragon attack. It was the one of two successful human-etherius resurrections Zeref had ever done.

Larcade and August were the Gray and Natsu in Alvarez's baby days. They had to rebuild the palace a few times due to their bickering.

Larcade knows about August's parentage, which is part of why he flaunts the whole "I am His Majesty's son" thing. Unfortunately for the century's worth of drama, August never took the bait.

Brandish, Invel and Ajeel were The Trouble Trio when they were kids.

Brandish outscored Invel in the law exam. Brandish occasionally rubs it in and Invel tries to ignore it ever happened.

Could Brandish have become Chief of Staff? Actually, yes. Did she decide being head of the agricultural division would net her infinite ice cream and was thus the better position? Also yes.

Ajeel grew up with extensive political training from his grandfather but he was a bit of a battle junkie so he signed up for specialization in Alvarez's military instead.

Meanwhile, Invel's family comes from a long line of ice-themed generals, but much to their chagrin he tried to distance himself from that in favor of legal discourse. His ice-armor trick from his battle with Gray was actually his family's specialty.

Invel purposefully gets his glasses frames a size bigger than they should just so he had an excuse to push them up his nose bridge more.

August took Brandish in after she became an orphan, and so she really looks up to her adopted grandfather (poor gal in 100yq on vacation's probably with the lingering guilt of stabbing him thinking it led to his death). She may act aloof but any bad word about the Wizard King and she will threaten to shrink you and drop you in a bathtub.

Speaking of which, since August was essentially the de-facto second-in-command, technically Brandish may or may not have been third in line for the throne. She just made sure to start her vacation before anyone noticed that detail.

Diamara's God Takeover was the result of an failed sacrificial ritual by a group of cultists. Just saying, Vistarion Castle sure does bring in a lot of orphans (now why does that seem familiar to a certain guild in Fiore...)

Post-war, Ajeel decided to take that running gag everyone made seriously and officially remodeled the war room into an orphan daycare.

Bloodman's anti-magic aura slowly killing everything within radius originally led a very depressed etherius. Once he stumbled on the etherius once and found some rather uncomfortable similarities to his own experiences with uncontrollable life-stealing curses, Zeref offered him a position within Alvarez.

Yajeel, August, and Makarov would have gotten along in a the-responsible-elders-are-causing-destruction way and you cannot tell me otherwise.

If baby August had been raised in Fairy Tail....he and Makarov would have been THE ultimate destruction duo that would give Pretch heart attacks with sheer level of destruction caused by their antics.

I love how fairy tail never like. Properly defeated all of the spriggan 12.

Like. Brandish didn't want to fight seriously.

And august and Irene both took themselves out

Frrr but it’s what I like about fairy tail. Not everything has to be absolute smack down. They make friends even with people that went against them — they believe the world is good, and they’re hell spent on making it that, even if it’s not.

[lisannastraussisanangel]

Yoooooooooop got any headcanons of the Spriggans to spare?

Most definitely!

Brandish and Dimaria do not like Irene, but they fear her enough not to voice that. It's more like sharing a look when Irene speaks during meetings

Larcade tries to speak to August and homie will literally just walk away halfway through the conversation

Invel is basically the mom of the group. They all run to him to snitch on each other. Invel could not care less

God Serena is the weakest member. Also the most annoying

Ajeel starts fights on purpose all the time. He loves causing problems

One time, Invel had him forcibly removed from the palace because Ajeel said "Fuck the Emperor". That's all it took

August took Brandish under his wing when she was a child. While not obvious, he watches her closely just to make sure she is safe

Bloodman accidentally kills people all the time? Like "oopsie, was he important?"

You can get frost bite from just bumping into Invel. Brandish is convinced he does it on purpose to keep people at arms length

Irene uses really old slang. Like no one knows what she is saying

Also her native language is an old dead language and sometimes she just slips into it on accident. Zeref is the only one that also speaks it and they carry on the convo like normal

Zeref's native language is also a dead language but it is a different one. Very confusing for everyone else

Jacob straight up won't look at any of the women in the twelve. None of them cover up enough for him. He tries to offer them cloaks to cover themselves during meetings but they get mad

Larcade tries to make everyone pray before meetings and meals. He usually gets laughed at. Tho Invel will actually join him from time to time out of politeness

Neinhart is not well liked among the twelve. He has a habit of randomly bringing up their dead loved ones.

To no ones surprise, Bloodman and Neinhart are good friends

Ajeel, Dimaria, Brandish, and Neinhart make up random 'human' facts to tell Wall and throw off his programming. Wall has no idea what is true or not and just fully trusts everything they say

Irene also joins in on this but mostly because she doesn't wanna talk to Wall and just gives him a random answer without actually listening to what he asked

[zqttixx]

ou wow,,, full spriggan 12 redraw ??? from me ???? no way ,,

ignore that neinhart’s cropped out idgaf😢

[catastrophicclouds]

IbisPaint saves the day again! The colour scheme for Neinhart’s background was giving me trouble, but I’m still really happy with how both of these turned out.

[sprooknooky]

I think what made the Spriggan 12 so great is they were around for a solid 100 chapters. Now enemies exist for 10 chapters and are beaten and never seen again. Like even if the 12 had barely any character they definitely had presence

[alvarezian-shitposts]

Am I the only one on here still?

Brandish/ Fairy Tail

I took my Brandish sketch from the other week and painted it up! I like how it turned out!
