Triple Scoop Sucrosian Beast: Sof Serverus

BATTLE THEME

I’ve been keeping this one tight-lipped for a while, but I felt compelled to share it and let it be known before @shenanimation​ beats me to another pun-punch.

In Knick’s world, there’s sugarmancy - the art of creating confectionery treats with sugar-based magic - and then there’s dark chocomancy, which dabbles in the forbidden art forms of sugarmancy, using dark chocolate. One of the primary forms of dark chocomancy deals with summoning beasts of intense flavor and power to wreak destruction on the wielder’s enemies, known as the Sucrosian Beasts.

Sof Serverus summons forth the elemental powers of Strawberry, Vanilla, and Pistachio to rain heavy firepower on his victims. The cherries grown from its forhead cause hallucinations, making the affected see everything around them as edible treats -- even their friends.

Continuing with the princess theme, today features Princess Velvet of Ice Cream Isle, a complete remake of her former design.

Battle Theme

As a contrast to the other princesses in Parlon, Velvet is stern, uptight, and utmost serious. She isn’t partial to jokes or tomfoolery, and prefers that everyone in her presence acts and speaks with the most refined of manners. In her youth, prior to taking the throne, she was a hardened warrior, and even as a princess, she retains her fighting spirit.

Her staff-spear, the “Silverspoon”, is an inherited relic. Along with it’s sharp fork-ended side functioning as a mighty trident, the spoon end can hurl confectionery cannonballs.

Like her younger sister, Cassonade, she also carries the skill of Sugarmancy, which allows her to conjure giant desserts from thin air.

PS: this was her last design, if you could even believe it (note that all the lore above is new as of today):

I actually felt like I was drawing too many cute girls, so I doodled a Knick to spice things up.

Dunny doodles!

I’ve been itching to draw Cassonade for a while.

...and I think I got it out of my system.

A brief intermission for my favorite dynamic duo.

John told me that I haven’t drawn enough cute girls in hoodies this year. I took that as a challenge!

Here’s 12 of my cuuuuutest girl characters sporting adorable hoodies.

Dinx (Heartblade / misc)

Eily (Mydhilde)

Motte (Heartblade)

Diji (Heartblade / misc)

Pannaneesewa (Heartblade)

Cassonade (KNICK!) (Her hoodie spells “SWIRL”)

Ice Weck (Mydhilde)

Zephyr Weck (Mydhilde)

Dunny (KNICK!)

Celeste (KNICK!)

Marine (Campaign Quest)

Speaking of old prototypes, how many of you can say you remember Knick’s Adventure? (Circa 2009)

My first dip into platformers was a rough one, but it kickstarted one of my most dear projects. The story I wrote for this game is still going to be used for a Knick game one day.
