#themurphyzone

Little sketches based on a Myth AU that @wimsiecal, @themurphyzone, and @pines-troz are involved in. In the AU, Pinky is Hades and Brain is Persephone. Seeing the art and headcanons that came out of their discussions was rather motivational, and so I went about putting pencil to paper (or, rather, pen to digital screen). This was quite fun to do. Was going to animate the flowers, but got lazy. Lol. My personal headcanon is that, when Brain is particularly emotional, his flowers turn to butterflies. However, since his love is unrequited, they always fly away, never to return.

For Gecko Spirit Week! Zack Underwood!

I really like how his hair looks, except I seem to have trouble DRAWING IT!!

Just realized I never posted this here....

My contribution to the Brainladdin AU. Ha-ha.

Please go check out @deez-art‘s blog for more AU goodness, and also please go read @themurphyzone‘s adorable little fan fiction, A Whole New World!

Songs listened to while drawing:

Based on a little mini story that @themurphyzone shared with friends. In it, Brain is confronted with a traumatic moment from childhood: cheese on a stun plate. Pinky is with him this time and manages to detach the stunning equipment, but Brain, petrified, initially refuses to take the cheese that Pinky’s offers to him. Eventually, Pinky, with his loving and comforting nature, manages to convince Brain otherwise, but there’s this bit in which Brain slowly looks up into Pinky’s face and it darn might as well have broken my heart, and this is the image that came to mind when I read it.

Oh, Brain.... You’ve been through so much, little one....

I wish I could hold him. I really do. I wish I could scoop him into my hands and kiss him on the cheek and tell him how very loved he already is by the world. *sigh* I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Thank God for Pinky.

Alien baby eats cream cheese for the first time. :3

This is based on the sixth chapter of @themurphyzone‘s Nova story, which you should definitely check out! Ze link: Nova
