Crunchy Chip’s anniversary was 5 days ago and I’m sad that I didn’t get this done until today but I got sick and have been fighting for my life with several projects for school. My teachers hate whimsy and ALL ASSIGNED MASSIVE PROJECTS THAT WOULD WRECK AN A GRADE TO AN F). But anyways, Chip’s been playable for 4 years, I feel old for having had him as a favorite cookie for so long

Love Looks Not With The Eyes, But With The Mind

I like drawing Wildberry and Pavlova getting along in a tragic situation. I should write a fic based on this art.

Lowkey, this art has a lot of deeper meaning from pavlova having his eyes close to take a blind shot at sommmeeeeooonnneeee that Wildberry likes 👀, to Wildberry holding the arrowhead, gripping it and cutting his palm with it. The arrow is a love arrow and Wildberry’s tainted it with his blood to attempt to prevent it from working while Pavlova’s grip on it is weaken, easy to give up on his hold (if you could even call it that).

Close ups of their pretty faces :D

Today is the 4th Anniversary of Wildberry being a playable cookie! Wowie it’s been a while 😁 I made this art to celebrate 😋

The Fool in Her Wedding Gown 😈 I love drawing Wildberry a bunch and I also love The Crane Wives so this just felt right :D

I listened to the album a bunch while drawing this and it’s so good 😁 I’ve been listening to The Crane Wives for so long now I remember when this album came out in 2016 😅

Have you guys seen the new costumes yet? These look phenomenal 😎

Can’t believe devsis made a costume set for these two, Hheheheh

I had too much fun making these and I hope it was enough to fool someone into believing they’re real😎

I got bored and decided to make a costume set for Wildberry and Pavlova that’s based on Achilles and a mixture of Aphrodite, Apollo, and Paris. Still cooking on the digital coloring

Wildberry’s costume is easy to tell that he’s based upon Achilles but rather than the Achilles heel being what was his undoing, it’s his heart. The one that pavlova had found amusing because of his foolish love. In this, one could argue that Achilles only decided to finally fight because of the death of Patroclus, and to that I says, yep!

In this, Crunchy Chip would act as Patroclus, having been killed by Pavlova with a stray arrow causing pain to Wildberry.

Pavlova’s outfit is based upon Bleeding Heart Flowers because of obvious reasons. He’s loosely based upon Aphrodite for the aspect of being fond of romance’s (and being the cause for the Trojan war that caused the death of Patroclus, and later Achilles). He’s based upon Apollo, who aided Hector in killing Patroclus in the Iliad, along with guided the arrow that was shot by Paris into Achilles’s heel. He’s also based upon Paris himself, the one who shot the arrow that ended Achilles.

In this, Pavlova merely shot the arrow which broke Wildberry’s heart. I know I put an arrow in his chest, it’s a symbol of his broken heart.

I have several reasons behind these specific choices, along with some details that felt right to add.

Bleeding Heart flowers represent a deep and passionate love between two people, and a connection that goes beyond life and death. It felt right to base Pavlova on this flower because of it’s name (and his costume representing the heartbreak he brings) but also the story of Achilles and Patroclus within the Iliad (and even the book The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller). Where Achilles has Patroclus take his place on the battlefield within his armor only for Patroclus to be killed by Hector, leading Achilles to go on bloody rampage to bring justice.

The choice of Wildberry to be Achilles was easy, the hard part was trying to figure out a design for him. I went through a few designs for the armor before deciding upon the one I chose. Originally, I wasn’t going to add the helmet but his head looked bare without it.

Apollo was on the side of the Trojan’s, aiding their efforts and being the one to weaken and remove the armor from Patroclus so Hector could deal the finishing hit. Although, the story in which I picture leading up to Crunchy Chip’s death is different from what occurred in the Iliad for Patroclus, he still ends up dead due to the intervention of Pavlova.

Hollyberry’s awakened design partially inspired this whole concept because she’s based upon not only Valkyrie in Norse Mythology but also Athena. The “Aegis” is a divine shield that was associated with Zeus and Athena and acting as the symbol of protection. Through this, it came easy to choose Achilles because be had to work alongside Achilles and Diomedes (two warriors that Athena favored.)

Pavlova is based upon both Eros in Greek Mythology and Cupid in Roman Mythology. Cupid had different kids of arrows in which had different purposes, one of those arrows was an iron/lead-tipped arrow that could cause unhealable heartbreak. I took inspiration from that and made the arrow in which Pavlova holds into the shape of a bleeding heart flower with the same purpose: to cause heartbreak.

Bonus: I keep listening to the song Achilles by The Divine Comedy. It’s pretty great

Marshmallow Poke was adopted after being found in the aftermath of an avalanche. He was found as a baby, having been shielded from the avalanche by a Peak Prowler. He’s pretty lax but can get fired up fast (learned it from his dad’s).

Poke is just the first of two :D

Younger sister of Poke, and biologically WB and Chip’s kid (in the way that cookies are made by combining ingredients or whatever) Berry Biscotti is quite the warrior. She’s got the height of Wildbwrry but the temper of Crunchy Chip

Poke likes to test Biscotti’s patience to its limits.

Poke wields a set of dual clawed-gauntlets, resembling that of the paws of a peak prowler. Biscotti wields two bucklers (tiny shields) in which she put spikes on them. The two were raised to fight and fight hard.

New mitski music = new animatic

The moment I listened to That White Cat I immediately thought of Wildberry cookie when I got to this part. It took me a few days to get done because I got busy BUT I did iiiiiittttt

I love drawing Hollyberry but her awakened design put me through the RINGER

They are so in love it makes them look stupid 😭 I had so much fun drawing them, I think I just like drawing in a portrait style 😅

I listened to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frank Valli so many times while making this because it felt like the perfect song for it. This technically counts as really late Valentines art, I thinkkkkk

Some close ups because they’re eyes say it all 😌

These outfit designed were created by @/Cuckaracha_ on X, go check out the art

One last patrol at dawn

“Cupid’s hands are stained by the blood of hearts broken by faulty arrows”
