(Pic 1 has no bg, Pic 2 gas a white one)

I stuck fairly close to the reference but there were a few things I shifted around. This was a real practice in drawing with different shades of brown, that for sure TT-TT

I did my best to add in all the little details from the design, but I also added his sketchbook . Thinking about it now he almost definitely keeps it in a bag, but, I meant, belt book looks cooler. Also speaking of details I was so close to accidentally leaving out his little face ink splash, which is insane considering it's like. His whole character design thing. But I low-key just forgot it throughout the entire creative process? Lmao

I also got so close to not finishing this in time, because guess what? I'm going out of the county for several days starting in, like, 5 hours. So maybe that contributed to it >.<

The lil guy is trying so hard to look intimidating but like. Nobody who knows him is falling for that. Scratch that, nobody is. He's wayyyy to anxious to be intimidating after he opens his mouth, but we love him for it!!

This art was made to the song "Meet Me in the Woods" by Lord Huron, which I've probably listened to like 50 times in the past week, if anyone needs song recs :>

PS: This was made 50% out of hyperfixation and 50% as a way to donate motivation because I am physically drowning without the next chapter :>

okay so turns out I wanted to post art anyway umm. did you know it's merlynne duffy's birthday today. that's so cool

mostly wanted to test out a more sketchy style for the occasion :] oh yeah she's also an ancient undertale character of mine but nowadays I use her for just abt any setting that I figure works out

I wonder if there’s, like, a light switch in the void, and that’s why the background is white all the time. I can only imagine someone switching some switch off and then “bam” darkness.

Endless power Solar storm Miracle hour Blinding warmth Made to cower Shrinking form Rise and tower Be reborn

Newly waking Find your stride Sternum quaking Raise your eyes Blurred and baking In Horizon's tide End the aching Find your pride

At razors edge Most swift and low The narrow ledge The crags below Sun's fading wedge Stretching shadows Wind of night fledged Fade to glow

Seizing shrieks Rust and wear Slow drip leaks Beyond repair Sun now sleeps If feels unfair Intrusive thoughts creep Mixed with prayer

White waters of thought Slow to remorse Fear the years wrought Imprisoned by force Trapped and caught The Sun took his course A thousand times While you fought

Today is won Bliss blooms brief But you belonged In warmth and relief Of radiant Sun Longer than grief In moonrise reborn
