#cupheadgame

I only managed

2024 may have not been the best year of the decade for many, many, MANY reasons! But, for me it was quite an epic year! From getting my Bachalor's, my first internship, volunteer work and having more time to do my own personal projects. Because of that, I was able to do this meme that I've wanted to do for years but didn't have enough work that I was proud of. But now, I do, all thanks to you all sticking by me during this chaotic year.

- Nome: Cuphead Nebula Kettle;

- Age: Currently 25y

- He/Him

- Species: Porcelain, red blood-Shapeshifting, blood hybrid-Blue blood. Can change size of some parts of his body but don't know how to shapeshift into his beast form. Aim for heavy attacks jumping into the enemy, is very good at symbols and ritualistic combinations.

- The scales are ACTUALLY scales, but all the other marks are paint

- The spots where it looks similar to honey is actually porcelain blood, what makes very easy to make advanced rituals.

- His tail work like a 3rd hand.

- He really likes grape juice, since their grandfathers whole business were making wine, lots of grapes would be brought home, this grew into sometimes emptying a whole barril of wine.

- His favorite task when he was young was going to the grape fields close to his grampa cottage.

- Porcelains throughout the years became, yet highly powerfull and "respected", highly hated by common folks since they kept slaving and killing remaining ink demons, what also made their species low in population, since killing ink demons can curse the agressor to lose their soul to the ink.

- For the mentioned motive, even if respected because of their parents reputation, the siblings where bullied by some of the kids who where the more uncontrollable, what caused cup to have so many cracks, and the last straw were when he fractured his tails end and half, wich he couldn't hide, and was, still is, highly painful.

- The straw on their heads was made by his dad, who were better at canalizing magic, the straw helps them to smoothly control the body & soul manipulation with no pain.

- Before the fatidic day, his parents gave them their wedding rings, what could mean before hand they wouldn't return. He take all of the hits for his brother, since he is more strong and dealt better with pain.

- His mom made the bandana he wears, and his vests were highly inspired by their mom's aswell.

- The fabric around his pulse were their mothers bow she wrapped around her tail, she left it behind.

- He caused his brother crack on the forehead when his magic got stronger, they were around 7y, after that, no more playing with magic spells.

- Porcelain don't have any kind of genitals or gender related parts, thats something that forms by itself while growing up.

- Their parents teached them to never mistreat Ink demons, also doing it to their grandparents, after growing up, cups find this task quite hard unfortunately.

- They have some lands in their names after their parents, for being heroes give you some extra discounts and extra money, they also have some houses build up on them, their parents made sure of it, if didn't existed before, it was builded

- They don't know about these said lands, their grampa didn't wanted to put more baggage on the boys laps.

Fanfic: The Strength and The Sight by @inkwell-intrigues

Well now! We are back again! This time, we have another drawing for The Strength and The Sight! Last time, I had no choice but to do it on paper, so I wanted to make proper digital fanart for this fic, which totally deserves it!

This is a scene from chapter 12. Honestly, I think it might be my favorite chapter and that’s saying something! ‘Cause the whole fic is just full of fantastic moments ( and very angsty ones!) but this chapter just had way too much to live about it : great pacing, strong character moments, especially for our dear Cups, the scenes were perfectly described and conveyed… it sure was a wild ride!

I hope you like my drawing, it was very hard to convey their strong emotions and do the poses properly, but I think it looks decent ; ) but yeah, I had to draw, it was one of my favorite scenes. Cuphead protecting his brother was so wholesome but they were both so overwhelmed by the situation… and you described their feelings so well! Oh and yeah, the background was the hardest part, I just can’t figure out how to draw cities ( or any background properly haha) I hope it looks decent at least.
