Yes!

I’m not sure if I’ve ever actually drawn him before… But I’m glad you asked because I’ve been trying to branch out a bit from just the papas (drawing more ghouls mainly) but as far as side characters I think I’ve only drawn sister once or twice and that’s it.

Love him tho he’s great

Alright ya'll, I promised yall this. So from August 1st - August 10nth, I want you guys to send in asks about TGO. Whether that's asking rhe current characters about things or asking the author/artist about the makings of the comic. Anything in character I will draw out, but asking the creator will be typed out, to give me some sanity. Here are your available options and what I want you guys to use as symbols:

💜 = Perpetua

🖤 = Omega

🦇 = Phantom

☁️ =Cumulus

🌈 = Aurora

🔥 = Alpha

💧 = Mist

👑 = Mr. Psaltarian

✍️ = Me!

I will take the time to answer each of them as quickly as I can but keep in mind I also work full-time and have things I do outside of work. Once August 10nth rolls around, my ask box (if i figure it out) will be closed so I don't get any late submissions. If everything goes well, I will do this challenge again in the future!

And another thing, NO NSFW asks ie. "CAN YOU DRAW THESE TWO GHOULS HAVING SHMEX?" I will not answer them and delete it. That is what my private Twitter is for. If course you can ask anything else but nothing explicit like that.

During this time, I will also be answering some long overdue asks if Tumblr works properly again, I might have to screenshot the ask cuz it mugh delete it in my drafts. Hence why this going up a day late.

I'm a big fan of this guy!

Psaltarian, like I said before, is a Cardinal for the purposes of this AU

He's actually currently the oldest Cardinal alive (beware an old man in a profession where men die young), and most Cardinals look to him for guidance and an understanding of scales of threat

He uses this trust to help subtly promote Marika's ideas and ideals for the Empire, even encouraging Cardinals to ignore very small scale problems in Primo, Secondo, and Terzo's territories

He and Nihil are friends, despite Nihil's lack of discipline, and when Nihil came to Psaltarian to share his worries over his children being assassinated, it was Psaltarian who suggested he and Marika take them

Psaltarian and his sons Copia and Perpetua have a mildly complicated relationship

He trusts Copia to have the strength to do what is necessary, which causes him to be overly critical and harsh of the mistakes C makes, but also the son he trusts to assist him

Meanwhile, he has his doubts about Perpetua and his loyalties, so he tends to spend more time with him, trying gently to correct him

Psaltarian is also head over heels in love with Marika

It kind of throws him how she's barely aged since they met, so he tends to be very romantic about any of her signs of aging (he loves her crow's feet)

While they unfortunately have to spend a lot of time apart due to their jobs, he calls her nightly (or whatever counts as night in his ship's cycles)

Psaltarian's specialty as a Cardinal is not against a specific threat, but in the spell he's mastered to mange his crew

Psaltarian manages (though tries to only use when necessary) a psychic link to each of the people under his command, with the ability to listen in, speak to, and even take control of the bodies of those he sends out

Because of this he prefers to work with highly skilled and trained specialists, or on occasion, training those with potential

Because of this, his crew is extremely loyal, having been hand selected and having enough trust in him to be able to analyze their minds and get them out of trouble when they need it

He also has no particular love for ghouls, finding the effort to try to keep them human-like too much work, and their subsequent lack of creativity and initiative annoying

First Commission!!
