SOULMIND sketches!

Third image is a more detailed/fleshed out idea of what his outfit looks like (inspired by Cardinal's clothing bcus that's relevant to him in my AU + it's just fucking cool yk)

Some facts about the guy :3

The 3 points on his crown are supposed to be representative of HMS, pretty basic but yk

I was originally going to have him have this weird festering, gaping hole where his heart would be to show that Heart isn't a part of this but decided against it

His eyes glow (possibly his whole body too now that I'm thinking about it, yeah why not); if everyone was friendly with eachother in this AU, he would be used as a torch, but sadly, they are estranged

The two halves of his face move around almost like a liquid, the black half is basically a void and the white half is supposed to resemble Soul's original mask but it's a part of his face?? Yeah don't think too hard about it

Personality-wise, he would be closest to Mind's personality, since he's quite overpowering in this AU and is more or less the 'ruler'. Underneath the very harsh exterior tho I think he would be quite anxious; neurotic almost- bcus of Soul's 24/7 internal breakdown.

His religious status is pretty complex bcus of a number of factors, I would have to make that it's own post if anyone wants to hear about that :]

That's all I've got for now [: ]

There was something about Rambley and Lloyd’s relationship that reminded me of another duo….

"Alright, let's do this one last time. My name is Tyler Hernández. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last two months, I've been the one and only Spiderman."

Here's my take on a Spiderman Tyler AU 🕸️

[shiiiko]

Ashlyn: Time for Plan G Logan: Don't you mean plan B? Ashyln: No we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties. Taylor: what about plan D? Ashlyn: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago Logan: How about plan E? Ashlyn: Trying to use it as a last resort, Aiden dies in plan E Tyler: I like plan E Aiden: DUDE- Ben: *Listening through his earphones unbothered*

The 2/2 drawings I made based on @aliferous-ly 's fic Chasing Crimson, and betaed by @dibs2win and drawn by @vesperaink .

Reaper!Jimmy

+ Also, an alt again, cuz I'm indecisive and the blue makes more sense but the red is way too fun...

[vesperaink]

Friends, my necromancer!Tango/grimreaper!Jimmy, Team Rancher modern with magic apocalypse AU, Graveyard Shift, for @mcytblraufest's Reverse Big Bang is here!

But wait there's more--go read chasing crimson written by @aliferous-ly, beta'd by @dibs2win, my fantastic team for aufest. If you love enemies to lovers, unlikely partnerships, and the power of soul-bound magic weapon contracts, this hilarious + dramatic 22.9k fic kicks off from this comic!

chasing crimson

Jimmy Solidarity works for the esteemed god of Death, reaping lost souls and taking care of unsavory characters. He's recently finished his training, and is determined to do well on his first solo mission. Perhaps this "Tango" would be a good start. Only, the god of Death disappeared years ago, and Necromancer Tango Tek's long since discovered a way around dying. He can't say he enjoys Jimmy swinging through and killing him where he stands, though.

Thank you to my team for being as feral about this AU as I am, and kicking everything about it up to 110. I had so much developing this world with them!

Thanks to @onawhimsicot for helping me with the comic's dialogue, fixing my composition woes with "just add more smoke," and encouraging me to complete it in full color! Check out Cadence's aufest fic, I take it back (ill follow till I fly or till im dead), a Cult of the Lamb AU about follower!Tango and Lamb!Zedaph, the meaning of devotion, silly experiments, eldritch transformations, and...the most platonic slowburn ever?

Lastly, thank you to the aufest team for another wonderful event! I had a blast again, and was giggling kicking my feet at everyone's reactions during claims, I loved every single one of them. Graveyard Shift is definitely an AU I'm coming back to. As always, my askbox is open if you'd like to chat, and I'd love to be tagged if anyone makes anything <3

Timelapse / AU art chatter under the cut!

While Graveyard Shift is the amalgamation of many of my interests, the main premise for this AU is loosely inspired by the webcomic, I'm the Grim Reaper, in both its apocalypse themes and its aesthetics! Not a required read, but highly recommend if you enjoy this au, as well as the anime and manga, Soul Eater!

I came up with a lot of AUs for this event but necromancer!Tango and reaper!Jimmy have been rattling around in my brain in separate AUs since before I started brainstorming for aufest. So I smashed them together, naturally.

(Unfortunately I didn't record all of my process, but most of it is here! CW for flashing; song is Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene by Hozier)

I could go on forever about concept art and character design if anyone's curious but here's some fun bonus details about this comic:

Originally, Tango's outfit was going to be more like his Dungeon Master outfit but I wanted the setting to be more modern and Jimmy stole the fantasy cloak vibe from him already lol

Jimmy's entrance of lightning is my nod to the Life Series final death sound

The scarf Jimmy's wearing is designed to be a boneyard shawl

The panel of strange text reads "Protection Three" in Galactic :)

+ The name "Graveyard Shift" was thrown at me by Cadence in like 3 seconds flat after i spent 2 days agonizing over a name for this au LOL

Ok but I love the idea of the SBG living together in the future, they all take care of each other and help each other with the shared PTSD.

Logan being the designated driver when the others drink

Aiden calming Ash down when she starts thinking the gate is reopening

Tyler making food for the others when one of them is sick and he’s off work

Logan and Taylor working together on projects (seeing as I see both of them going into similar fields that commonly overlap)

Ben doing late night shopping for the this week’s grocery

Taylor and Tyler feeling more safe seeing as they live together

Them all sharing and loving a support animal (some yapy dog Or a big dog)

Cattle Rancher!Graves.

Welcome to the Graveyard, finest fuckin’ farm you’ve ever seen in your life! Land and cattle (and some alpacas) as far as the eye can see.

These hands ain’t just good for massages and barbecue, darlin’, oh hell no. The blood, sweat, and tears put into this place, built up into the finely tuned, well-oiled machine it is, that takes years of dedication. Bet you ain’t never seen such finely cared for and loved animals, eh, darlin’? Well look no further, you have now!

Oh… who’s the—the donkey? Oh, that’s Darla. Been protecting this farm for as long as memory serves. Hell, she probably thinks she does a better job than the dogs.

What? She don’t bite, darlin’. Promise. She just—“Dammit, Darla, I done told you to be nice to our guests. Who the hell’s gonna take me?”

Ahem. Right. Sorry ‘bout that.

Now… how ‘bout that tour, sweetheart?

[chaoticlad]

It’s that time again‼️ (the cringy) Doodle dump‼️‼️‼️‼️

ivory grimes does not knock on misty rucker's door, a habit stemming from long before she knew how easy it is to get under the officer's skin. back then, getting a reaction out of her co-worker had been a touch more difficult, though the flirty dynamic the scholar had eventually coaxed from the older woman was the only effective method to shut her up. the christmas party is long underway, and the doctor's usual professional attire has been replaced with an ( unmistakably short ) black dress and heels. her hair is tugged back in a low bun, subtle ringlets framing porcelain features. 

she approaches the labouring woman with a glass of whiskey, which is ignored upon being set near her dominant hand. as usual, misty rucker dismisses her antics until the last possible moment, though ivory grimes ( especially after a few too many glasses of punch ) is not one to be overlooked. rising from the chair she had occupied, the genius rounds the desk to perch herself on the corner. the red solo cup in her hands is cradled against her chest, dark eyes sparkling with amusement as she crosses lithe, milky legs. ❝ you’re missing the party, officer rucker. trying to outdo my presentation this morning ? ❞ she breaks the silence with the straw caught between white canines. as usual, the psychologist only beams, clearly proud of herself. yeah, she's had a bit too much punch.

i based this AU a bit from lilo and stitch, in the sense that older brother tyler is struggling to keep him and his baby sister afloat!

i had a lot of fun thinking about what details i wanted to include in this au, specifically their character designs and personalities. and let me tell you, my brain did not let let me draw anything else aside from this au for the whole week LMAO

(kudos to anyone who noticed the cute pink bracelet Tay made for her cool big bro 💙)

Random SBG AU where every time one of the kids dies in the shadow dimension, the number of hours they're stuck there decreases.

It starts at six hours, one hour for each of the kids and when Tyler is impaled by the tree and dies, an hour is shaved off. After spending hours searching for Tyler with no luck, they find a place to rest and then Taylor asks Logan how much time was left, only to be cut off by the sudden shift back to the real world. Logan was sure there was still another hour left, given how he periodically checked it to make sure it was running correctly but then they were all too caught up in worrying about Tyler for him to think about the implications of potentially losing an hour of time in the shadow dimension for unknown

Then Aiden dies and another hour is shaved off and they're down to four hours. This time they've noticed it, especially when they've lost two whole hours. Ben notes how much shorter the duration of the shift felt this time and Logan brings up his suspicions.

What were the side effects of two of them dying? What would happen if ALL of them died? Would they be freed? Or would they be doomed to spend the rest of their lives running away from these creatures with no hope for freedom?
