we love dr Carmilla here sir

(late) painting for day 7 of dr. carmilla week. prompt was death, but she's more of an un-dead type gal, so i tried to draw her alive(ish) in an empty grave.

@drcarmillaappreciationweek

[Image ID: A watercolour painting of Maki Yamazaki as Dr. Carmilla lying in an open grave from a bird's eye view, only showing mid-chest and upwards. She is a slim, tan, Japanese woman who has chin-length dark blue hair that has hints of teal, pointy ears, brown eyes, a sharp nose, and has makeup around her left eye that looks a bit like an upside-down lowercase T, with swirls as well as two dots right underneath her lashes. Carmilla's right eye is entirely closed, but her left eye is cracked slightly open as she looks at the camera, eyebrows furrowed as she tries to focus. She has a small smirk on her face. Carmilla's hands are crossed over her chest, loosely clasped together near her neck, with fingernails that are painted a dark brown. She wears a high collared white shirt, that looks purple in the lighting, which has small purple flower print on it, as well as a dark red vest. The background is a rough body shape of brown colours, meant to show the upturned dirt from a fresh grave. The linework of the painting is thick, and several parts are shaded with markers applied on top of the paint. Some of the paint is still wet, especially the background. Some of the linework runs, and the entire drawing has a pinkish tint, presumably from the pink lighting that can be seen in the paint's reflection. End ID]

[ID: a digital drawing of dr carmilla. she is facing right, leaning with her hands on a table, and her head hanging between her shoulders. she is wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black pants, and brown boots. she is also wearing blue gloves and a long white apron, both of which have blood on them. on the table in front of her there is a human heart in a small puddle of blood. on the left there is an operation table. there are feet under a white cloth on the table, the rest of the body is out of frame. there are cabinets above a counter in the background. the lighting is very dim and comes from over the operation table. end ID]

[Image ID: A pencil and paper drawing. It is of a family of Octokittens, depicted as mostly octopus-like, with 8 tentacles and cat heads. A larger and more detailed Octokitten is at the center, surrounded by smaller, more blob-like Octokittens. The larger octokitten has tufts of fur by her cheeks, fangs poking out, and a design crossing over it's eye, indicating this cat is Dr Carmilla. The octokitten on her head is Ivy Alexandria, with small cheek tufts going downwards, mimicking her hair as a human. Flying in the air next to the larger octokitten is and Octokitten with wings, representing Raphaella La Cognizi. An octokitten with goggles on it's head and black eye markings, biting one of Dr Carmilla's tentacles, is in front of a fluffy octokitten with white eyes and black eye markings, representing Jonny D'Ville and Gunpowder Tim, respectively. The Toy Soldier is represented by an octokitten on the end of this tentacle with a mustache and wearing the toy soldier's signature hat. On the opposite side is an octokitten with dark markings on its tentacles hanging on to the neck area, representing Ashes O'Reilly. Hanging onto the outer tentacle on this side is an Octokitten with a Monogoggle- Marius Von Raum. At the bottom of the drawing are an Octokitten Nastya Rasputina, accompanied by a drawing of The Aurora, and an Octokitten Drumbot Brian, with a top hat and lines on its body, showing the metal panels that make up its body. /End ID]

@drcarmillaappreciationweek

Prompt is Music!!!

day 5: music!! this is my favorite doc c song. i couldn't figure out how to get the right notes on my viola so i used the original instrumental. i didn't do the entire song because 1. i didn't like the way i sounded and 2. i couldn't get the japanese bits right :(

anyway yippee! i love being buried alive(ish) and coming to and eating people!!!! favourite pastime @drcarmillaappreciationweek

[Audio Transcription: Kae, the OP sings Exhumed by Dr. Carmilla. Their voice cracks a bit as they sing in a tenor/alto range. The background track is melancholy and creepy ukelele playing, taken from the original track. The lyrics are as follows:

When they dug me out the ground/ They first pronounced me dead/ But as I rolled my eyes/ They quickly retracted what they said/

Have I been asleep/ For a hundred years or more?/ Well I'm hungry, don't you see?"Won't you please come closer, sir"/

I'm Carmilla/ (That's 'Docteur' to you)/ You can run or you can try to hide/ But that won't protect you from/ That won't protect you from the truth!

Well, now I'm in this lab/ And it's me that's on the slab,/ Surrounded by these instruments/ That I don't understand.

day 4: crossover! she would be bad at redstone but try to use it constantly. to me. all her houses are made out of crimson and warped planks btw

@drcarmillaappreciationweek

school started for me this week and my grandparents visited so we're getting a slow start lol

[Image ID: A traditional drawing of Dr. Carmilla on the page of a composition book. She's wearing black clothes and a cape, intending to be similar to how she looked during Lashings, but I drew it during school when I couldn't look up a reference so I don't know how accurate it is. She's leaning on her cane, and looking at her right hand which appears to have blood on it. I also didn't have access to my markers when I drew this, so her hair is purple and her skin is just kinda colored in with pencil. Her eyepatch is on her left eye. An arrow points at her in blue pen, labelling her "She Who Must Not Be Named" and "the true name of my dear irl friend @titaniumcenturion." Her name had since been blacked out. Also featured on the page: A pencil doodle of Dr. Carmilla from the shoulders up from when I was still trying to figure out how I wanted to draw her, that of which I really liked and taped in. Pencil arrows point at her. A list of all nine Mechanisms in red pen, with blue checkmarks on them to indicate that they are parentless or orphans of some sort. The title of a backstory of my OC Lavender that I never wrote, and some bug stickers. The notebook is folded in half, and some space stickers from the other page can be seen. The notebook is propped up between a chromebook laptop in front and a desk lamp behind. on the chromebook laptop, figures depicting Nastya, Jonny, The Toy Soldier, and an octokitten, sit in a sort of circle. The octokitten is a glazed clay pinch pot, with a lid that has its ears. It is purple with some red accents on the ends of the legs, cheeks, and inner ears. It has big bug eyes, and only seven legs because one fell off. Nastya, Jonny, and TS are made of air dry clay, and sort of squished due to their rough transport home from the camp I made them at.]

That is a long image ID I'm so sorry screen reader people my inner writer kicked in

Me and @mchasmfiend did a cover of homesick!

All instrumentals are from the original song
