I’m glad you all like it! This is the character in the piece: https://unvale.io/character/864e9061-3cfc-4ea9-8fe7-d68cf7e583b9 . I am slightly obsessed with him. He’s a very eccentric guy, and as confirmed by Surpent (his creator) herself, he would be especially pleased if he knew I was taking so much time on him.
@whaley
That traditional coloring would stress me out.
Lol, why do you think he’s not finished yet? I have the time, but I am so stressed out that I’ll ruin him.

Thank you!
I’m not currently taking requests, mainly due to this huge project:
That was meant to only be a simple art contest prize for someone and instead is turning into a massive project to test my skills.
I may start taking requests again afterwards or take a break and just do my own stuff but I’m not sure. I’ll let you know when I decide! (or just plain get bored and decide to draw other people’s stuff on a whim instead of actually drawing my own charries.)

I posted this on Unvale too, but this is Ellie and Eddie for your Secret Friend. I ended up drawing it myself, but I hope you like it

The picture didn’t post

You could draw either, if doing so strikes your fancy.
True, but I am not a dog person so the cat will probably get drawn first. Yes we do have a dog, yes he is fun, but I’d rather most the time cuddle one of our cats.
This was me sleeping with one of my cats when he was a little kitten while I was dealing with all the lymes fatigue (He’s a fluffy monster now XD).
Gabriel got a little close to a backstory detail there
OooooOoooh. I shall figure out Lucy’s secrets eventually!
@whaley @loopylin (Lol, thanks) @keilah-h
Gabriel
Gabriel nodded. He didn’t like how close she was to the crow, but the bird seemed friendly and the girl seemed to find comfort in it. He decided to leave her alone.
It bothered him that another child had found their way here. Were there other children lost in this maze? With all the monsters, he hoped if there were anymore that they were safe. Next time that stupid imp appeared, he’d ask. Not that he expected an answer, but it was worth trying.
He removed his mask fully, letting it dangle around his neck. “That was the second time we’ve been separated. I’m sorry, I should have gotten to you in time.”

Lol, I’m glad my on-a-whim writing brought some value to the world in the form of joy. Bit of an update.
The cow heart pieces were eaten by a single coyote who was stalking to deer trails in our woods.
My dad did end up using his giants slingshot to rope a tree we need to take down.
I attempted foraging again. You’d think I’d avoid it after my disaster but no…I discovered wild leeks in our woods. Well, I knew they were there, I just had forgotten, so I re-discovered them. They’re edible, both bulb and leaves and taste like onions as you’d expect. We have some good sized ones too. So I looked up how to sustainably harvest them, and dug up probably only 9. I did trim the leaves of some others. Most of it is hanging to dry in our house right now. I also got some more dandelion roots to dry out.
Also, apparently you can make candies out of blue violets so I might learn that next. My dad told me recently I should choose some kind of outdoor activity besides rowing, and I think I’m going to just continue doing this and making my mom stare at me and sigh.
If I can actually make the candies, I will post pictures.
@whaley
I figured. I should probably draw Baron with a cat, shouldn’t I? I’ve never actually drawn him smiling.
@keilah-h @loopy @whaleyGabriel
Gabriel stared at her, then sighed. What was he supposed to say? Winning fights was good, but would that encourage her to fight again? What if she got hurt worse? What if she hurt a person in return? “You…shouldn’t be rash, don’t go fighting, but I guess…I guess I’m glad you won.” He cracked a measly smile, unsure if it was the thing to do after telling a child something like that. He saw others do it all the time so it had to be right.
He set her down, pulling off the bag with all her trinkets in it from across his torso, the eternal candles sticking out at odd angles. “I hope I didn’t drop anything out. Do you have your hatchet?” He looked up at the other girl for the first time, studying her quickly before giving Lucy a questioning glance.
Yeah, Gabriel would totally take on a child and train them how to fight, then never let them because he doesn’t want them hurt lol.

I spent most of today playing Uno with my little brother and our dog Marley (we would hold up his cards and tell him “touch-touch”. Whichever card he touched first we put down then gave him a treat. It kinda worked) and digging up dandelions to make my mom think I’ve gone insane (for the hundredth time) when I show her my dirty hands and tell her I’ve been “kinda digging up your garden”. I then spent hours cutting off dandelion roots, picking out the flowers and unopened blossoms, to then wash and shop the roots and putting them out to dry. Some of the leaves I still have to do some kind of bitter salad with, the rest went to our (very happy) bunnies. The blossoms I processed to then bread and cook. I’m scared to try more than a bite of my creation because I feel like I might throw up honestly at my creation. Which is weird, because I’m usually very gun-ho about eating flowers.
When the chopped roots dry, I’m going to roast them and then make a tea. It tastes very similar to coffee but its caffeine free. I don’t drink coffee often (my dad is genuinely concerned I’ll develop an addiction to it [valid concern honestly knowing me]) so I like roasted dandelion root tea a lot. I’ve only ever had store-bought stuff before however and in my experience (with lemonbalm and red clover teas) the homemade is often wayyyyy much more flavorful, so I’m excited for that!
As for the breaded dandelion blossoms…I’ll eat some tomorrow, and then let my dad have some so he can roast me. My older brother has already sung me a musical narrating all the thoughts I spoke allowed while frying them (which was a lot of doubting life choices) and telling me they smelled “interesting”. He ate one, and wanted to spit it out but there was no trashcan nearby and he was in the middle of a videogame battle he didn’t want to loose (I promise I wasn’t trying to pressure him into swallowing) so he ate it anyways.
He also ate and then spit out a piece of rice cake I popped in the toaster for no reason at all earlier…To defend myself, I was toasting two bagels for my dad since he was hungry and I started snacking on the rice cake while waiting…the intrusive thoughts won……..Oh, my older brother also got to taste a concoction my little brother made up of mint tea, cinnamon black tea, raspberry tea, limeade, and lemonade in a single little glass earlier…that turned out to be the least repulsive thing we gave him to try the entire day… I also kinda tortured my older brother again by taking him down in the woods to set out a slightly rancid cow heart and set up a trail cam for the night. I think I made him gag like 5 times today all told (which is impressive for my brother)(I did make him some apologetic eggs that tasted fine.) I promise I’m good at cooking (usually) and baking (most the time) this was just one of those random days when you wake up and without realizing it choose chaos (and make all your family members wonder if you really have actually lost it this time when you give them a stupid grin as you do something possibly even more stupid.)
However! Nothing blew up, something did burn on the stove but that wasn’t my fault (kinda), and my older brother shouldn’t be scarred for life (he’ll probably get out of his system by joking about me being neurodivergent [undiagnosed but literally everyone I know thinks I’m some color of neurodivergent, but I have to many health problems to even want to know what is going on in that realm right now.]) My dad also brought home a giant slingshot for tossing ropes in trees to take them down. The intrusive thoughts want to use it to launch hickory nuts into our woods.
Whew! I am well aware this is the rp forum, I will probably regret this and apologize later, but oh well, I started typing while waiting for my (not homemade) raspberry tea to steep, and just kept going.
Now shall we swivel a perfect 180 degrees on our heel, wipe the silliness away, and write a deep (probably not) emotional (maybe) decent (ehhhhh…) rp?
@whalekeeper @loopylin @keilah-hI need to know…who do you think would be the cat dad and who would be the dog dad? Out of Baron and Gabriel.
Gabriel
He held her close as she rested in his arms, still shaking. His mask dislodged, showing part of his face, all composure gone. His yellow eyes were watery, still making sure she was okay. He gripped her like he was still scared she’d be pulled away again. His chest physically hurt, unable to truly work through his emotions. He never thought it possible to ever feel this much for a single person, yet here he was.
After a moment, he pulled back a little to look at her face, mind running through worst-case scenarios with black eyes. “Does it hurt too much? You could have broken a bone in your face…who did this?” He wasn’t sure what he intended to do if he got an answer to that question. He pressed a piece of handkerchief to her lip, still holding her, occasionally still eyeing the crow unhappily.

@keilah-h @loopylin @whalekeeper
Sorry, I wasn’t aware this rp had continued.
Gabriel
The fog seemed to weigh heavily on him now. He hated this place, hated it. He trudged slightly behind the strange companions, the same feelings flooding into him that he had felt before meeting Lucy. With that reminder, an even more unwelcome feeling flood over him, hidden behind his mask.
This entire maze was against them. He even doubted that the orbs existed. They had wandered for days without seeing one since each of them had come there. What if there would be no way to send Lucy home? What if she would be stuck here with him and the others? Stuck in a world that seemed to only wish to separate and kill them. This was no place for a child. He didn’t want her to be like him, to grow up amid a world of hardship to only find more just around the bend.
He was pulled from his thoughts by shouting from Soldier. For a second he felt disoriented, light-headed, until he realized some sort of crow had grabbed Soldier, crashing with two girls. He froze for a second, before rushing forward at recognizing Lucy. He pulled her away from the crow, body ready to attack the giant bird if it tried to take her away.
“You okay? Are you hurt? Tell me you aren’t hurt.” His voice cracked, his mask hiding his face.

Mandin
•Are you and Nahim similar ages?
“I’m 5 and a half years older, though he often acts twice his age, ya know?”
•How would you describe yourself in the context of your family? What role do you play?
Mandin’s gaze drifted to the side again. “I’m the second child, but my sister and father aren’t on…the best terms, so my father wants me to inherit his title and academy. That’s about it.”
•How often do you feel stressed?
His lips purse slightly, eyes shifting back. “Not often. Usually only in places where I have to act formal.”
•Where is your safe place to relax?
“I find the gym a good place to clear my head. Though, for physical relaxation, I’d say just the barracks. A lazy chat with my mates in the evenin’ is nice.”
•What do you like to do in your spare time?
“Gym, occasional wrestling, just chatting. I don’t have many hobbies since some things aren’t practical when you’re stationed for war. At home I have little extra time.”

Apparently Alt+0149 reloads the page on KP 💀
For Cosmo:
- When you hum, what type of tunes do you gravitate towards? Jigs, waltzes, instrumental, lyrical?
- What makes you think of “infection” when you hear the word “droplet”?
- What smell do you remember when you think of childhood?
- What emotion is tied to that smell?
- Did you ever have any pets?
Mandin:
•What do you think is your greatest strength?
Mandin shrugs, “I think it’s that I can often cheer my friends up. Most other things someone else is much better than I at, but that’s something my friends say I can do.”
•How easily do you trust people?
He rubs the back of his neck with his wide palm. “Yeah, I’d say so. Unless I feel somethin’ off about someone right away, I’m likely to talk to them as if we’re friends.”
•Who would you consider your best friend and why?
“Nahim. We watch each others backs all the time, and share a lot with each other. Besides, sometimes someone hast to make sure he doesn’t completely forget his meds. Poor kid.”
•How do you feel about your family?
For the first time, the brown eyes break contact, looking towards a crimson thread on the floor. “Fine. Good people. My sister and I were very close growing up, my mother is always kind. My father is a respected man.”
•What did you fear as a child? What do you fear now?
Mandin chuckles, “The dark. As a child I hated the dark. Now…Now I think I fear loosing Nahim completely, in more than one way.”

If my brain sounds fried, it’s because it’s 2 AM.
That sounds good. I don’t know anything about Cosmo.
Description of Cosmo?
- What motivates you to get up in the morning?
- What was your biggest dream as a child?
- What do you enjoy as a hobby?
- What do you do when know one is around?
- What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “droplet”?
I’m sure you’ve heard a description of Mandin before, but I’ll give you one here. I wish I had art of him that was worthy sharing but alas I do not have the time nor motivation to draw every single one of my charries currently. He is on the redraw list however.
Loyal to the end, Mandin has always been like a anchor to his friends. With a smile that is quick on his lips, and a laugh that could banish rain, he’s a ray of happiness. He seems so perfect, seems unmarred by the sadness of war, unburdened by the tragedies of the past.
Quick physical description: Light brown eyes, blond hair with dark roots, pale skin, muscled build.

Oh! And the Night Fury Mech Arena art above for that art contest, I won it. I got the equivalent of about $20 in game rewards, so that was nice.
The guy I drew it for also thanked me multiple times, even hopping on a VC I was in just to say it, so needless to say he is a fan.
