Sketchbook Log: Everything degrades over time. It just hurts more when it’s something from a home you can’t return to.

Day 2: Degrade

Something something peeling masks off in the dark~

….I dunno man I got inspired by the art of James Fenner (super cool art, their use of color is MASTERFUL I am literally buying a print rn) and this image popped in my head. 😂

Enjoy~

2025 EVENT GUIDELINES

13 days, 13 prompts.

Visual, aural, textile, and literary works are allowed - fanart, fanfiction, gifs, edits/manips [EXCLUDING AI-GENERATED WORKS], cosplay, fanmixes, crafts, or ask-and-answer.  

Unlike other fandom events, reblogs of previously created material are welcome IF THEY FIT THE PROMPT, but creation of original material is preferred.

Inspiration can be drawn from the GUARDIANS OF CHILDHOOD bookverse, the RISE OF THE GUARDIANS movieverse, and any and all associated AUs.

OCs are welcome and encouraged to interact with RotG/GoC characters.

Crossovers are welcome, but please make sure that the focus POV is a character from RotG/GoC.

Works in progress are welcome and encouraged, as long as they fit the prompt. No reason not to celebrate Halloween all year ‘round! No need to worry about having to have something complete before posting.

Don’t feel like you ***must*** post a piece Every… Single… DAY, and/or fill every single prompt.  Burnout is not fun.  But do try to post at least ONE piece during the 13 days of the challenge.

Be sure to ping your works with @rotg-halloween, and list #rotghalloween in one of your first 5 tags.

Please tag works accordingly, and be sure to use any warnings for sensitive and potentially triggering subjects.  

HAVE FUN, and support your fellow creators.

Let's get spooky.

Day 2: Degrade

In a way, he supposed he shouldn't be surprised, Pitch Black thinks.

It has been a while since the Easter Battle. Since the meeting between Pitch and Jack Frost in Antarctica.

Their... well, one supposed it could be called a "sculpture" was standing where it had been created. A perfect blend of cold and dark.

Except the dark had weakened, and heavy wind storms were not unusual in Antarctica, leaving some of the spikes to be broken off, shattering against the ground or impaling where they fell.

Ah well, the Boogeyman thinks. Perhaps even if he had won, it wouldn't have lasted forever.
