Duke Soot was Dead

This was done during God Fight! I really liked the crossed out poem format for arts!

Im just really interested in the different areas. We've gotten some info on the Empire and Kinoko, but not on any of the others! I have an idea of what Las Nevadas would look like because it has such a distinct still in the Canon.

I'm just really interested in what they all look like (especially with the Geoguesser scene)!!

I do have some idea! This is better suited for my art/author blog so I will rrblog the answer there as well!

Lmanburg is a small nation, very focused on their sea access and forestry. They're surrounded by countries that would not mind swallowing it whole! Due to that, they are uber focused and developed with water travel, be it rivers or the sea

Duke Soot's residence is not in capital but in one of the coastal cities of Lmanburg! For Ash, it looked extra strange and alien because he has not travelled a lot. He basically only knows the mega city developed areas!

This is a bit of a moodboard for that city:

OwO What's this? An art?

AN ART AND THE LINK TO THE NEW CHAPTER???

psst! here! *throws at u*

THANK YOU

I've been yapping about this one to my friends ngl

The symbols are soooo good! The bird trapped so clearly in Ash's body? Already amazing. But then across the scales of the snake there are still birds, which suggests that even the snake disguise is not perfect, it still reflects the avian instincts that peek through.... and the way that the snake completely engulfs Ash. Hes smothered. *Trapped.*

And the colourrrrsssss

I love black mambas. And this one looks A MA ZING. It looks so protective of Ash. It has such pretty blue. And ough I dont know if you just added stars because they fit but the snake, the symbol of Soot, having stars in its mouth, the symbol of Prime, Lmanburgs goddess? Chefs kiss

Casual tea time- except duke is still pissed anmt Techno and refused the casual part

I then also imagine that techno researches snake hybrids and notices this unexplainable difference. He just narrows his eyes for a while. Maybe mentions it to Phil maybe not.

I mean… who would lie about such a thing? Everyone knows Wilbur’s a snake hybrid so it’s probably just a quirk :)

And then whenever the big reveal comes he’s just :O because it clicks into place. Maybe he claims he knew all along when he really didn’t. Just to get on Phil’s nerves.

It's not silly at all! Especially since that's exactly what happens haha

The thing is, Ash rolls deception 20 on practically every scene- but he's rolling with an advantage

Advantage of, who would lie about something like that? For what purpose? Aaaaand.... the fact that there is another "snake hybrid" who seems the same- Quackity also has rounded pupils lmao

Plus, it's not exactly the peak of etiquette to gaze into another nobles eyes so most people do not even notice haha
