Hehe the most beautiful butterfly in the garden<3 can you tell how much I loved drawing her, I can tell you, a whole lot
Okay breakdown time, top to bottom, left to right
The top three are just me dressing her up based on different colors of the sky, I love dressing characters up, can't wait to dress up my au guys, I will be dripping them out against their will
After embellished lollipop, a big ol' drawing of bban!Gingerbright in all her glory! I tried out a messy rendering style for her hair and made her super shiny and glittery, I wonder whose attention she's trying to get
Next row! Random doodle of bright, messing around with her eyes, and a what-if on Gingerbright's wings
Okay hear me out, so @inkyaltbitts mentioned this in their design breakdown but fae don't really have wings, what if Bright also didn't originally have wings? Fae and fairies are pretty close folklore-wise(dont fact check), right? so maybe Elder Faerie and Gingerbright were also close, found family close, so maybe at one point during her tenure as the Virtue of Conviction, she reached some milestone and Elder Faerie gifted her a pair of wings to make her look more regal or some practical reason, but during her fall, she begins to Doubt herself and her image and does a sugarfly to herself and dumps syrup on her wings, depending on what happens in bban!ep 15, whether the beasts die or not, she could do another sugarfly and shatter the syrup as a start or somewhere in the middle of her redemption arc, cause if the syrup can be a manifestation of her doubt in herself, then her shattering it would reveal the total certainty of someone else's belief in her, do you get me, are you picking up what I'm putting down, I am connecting the dots(I'm not connecting anything)
Super sad for Elder Faerie here, you love your adopted daughter enough to gift her a pair a wings(we can be super angsty and say he made them himself), you watch her fall into doubt and corruption, then you have to lock her up in a tree for a couple of centuries, and constantly tend to that tree where your daughter is trapped, no wonder he's super depressed, he's had to lay like 3 of his kids to rest
Okay, me making fanfiction of a fanfiction over, we got a couple of wing designs, the father-daughter duo I just made up, and a headshot
We got what could be an oil painting if I tried hard enough of their first meeting where Bright is desperately trying to look cool and majestic and flustering Strawberry by being really into her
An angsty little shot of what could happen to Crepe during the bad end costume story where Strawberry folds and stays with Bright, they get turned into a statue or smtg, depends on what the garden of sweet dreams will be
And more bad end stuff! Drowning in doubt and self-hatred in your gf's lap<3 a lesbian's dream(the lesbian is Gingerbright, Strawberry is miserable, she misses her friends but doesn't think they miss her)
butch4butch femme4femme duo ever
so instead of blueberry milk bothering Bright, fellow woman enjoyer Rye goes to talk to her instead
an a close up of that corner over there, Rye making sure Bright doesn't fumble like she did
Okay so a little less silly and a little more freaky, my little knowledge of fae coming into play here, but first i have to explain what I think might happen during the Doubt arc
so in fae folklore, there are these rules you have to follow: don't give them your name, don't thank them, don't say sorry, don't eat their food, that stuff, so at the end of the arc, Gingerbright might ask for Strawberry's name and ask her to eat something from her garden
So strawberry basically has like 3 names: Strawberry, Queenberry, and Shining Berry, so when Bright asks for her name she has the choice of giving away her (a) personhood, (b) role as the protecter of her people, or (c) her fear and Doubt that made her hide away for a like a century, so good ending is she picks option C and doeasn't eat what Bright gives her(like the opposite of the Garden of sweet delights end)
the bad end costume is where Strawberry picks option A and eats what Bright asks of her, here she is going to eat that strawberry straight from Bright's mouth and then make out with her sloppy style (/j)
Now, the bad end costumes
a couple of concepts, for strawberry i tried picking out a different place to put butterfly wings each time, main theme was like an eternal bride and protector, played around with a cage skirt, covering her face cause of giving away her personhood, letting her face out cause Bright wouldn't want it cover and she's Her's now
for Bright, fairy princess/fae queen, that's it, eternal sugar's costume just made her fancier so I basically did the same thing and gave her some gold to match with Strawberry, and tried to make the wings and hair different each time
not final, but a good stopping point for now until the garden of sweet dreams comes out, i tried out some other stuff too like changing the gold to silver to see how that looked, tried putting stuff in Bright's hair, making the sheer part of her dress more cloud-like, etc. we'll see
Anyway here you go inky <3 i hope you like some of my doodles and ignore all my ramblings <33 i will be kidnapping your other guys to dress them up and give them fun costumes in the future <333
