Tipping Scales

I want to draw these two more so here's a practice round with their new and improved human versions supplied to us by @stankychee and @wishingstarinajar (I don't know how they feel about @'s so just tell me to remove if you want me to)

Here's the old meme I made + the new one!!

(Plus a little addition from @hopefulheronn )

Doodling to figure out my characters is all I can do lately.

Doodled some guys cuz they're on the brain.

Ephialtes and Oneiros, brothers and Keepers of Balance. Night and day. Darkness and light. Death and life. Yet they aren't so different from each other.

When it comes to Oneiros, positivity is positivity, no matter how it is conjured. The way he goes about getting all that positivity is, in a sense, wicked for sure.

He drugs up humans and lulls them into a trance where they aren't even fully aware of what is happening to them. He whisks the dreaming humans to his beautiful abode where they get spoiled with delicious foods and drinks (all made from his essence), wonderful company, perfect weather, comfort, and where they can go full "greek party" (yes, even the sexual kind). He makes them happy while they believe it is all a dream, but in truth, it is all for his personal gain and greed, and with no consent while also making them addicted to him.

But no matter his "wicked" methods, the positivity he strengthens in humans through his essence (apples, food, drinks, his aura) does not get corrupted. It's a genuine feeling he invokes in the humans; they are genuinely at ease, happy, calm, and soothed. The only corruption is the addictive side of it.

Oneiros isn't blind per se; it is the overabundance of light (aka positive energy) within his skull that blinds him. His sockets are like flashlights if you take his visor off, they're bright. See it akin to shining a light into your own eyes; you can't see shit.

A tiny belated New Year's gift for @stankychee with her Reverie and my Ephialtes enjoying a lot of sparkles!

>.> uuuhh

I only have one Nightmare OC, which is Ephialtes from @tippingscales and he's smoky x'D So no, I don't have any that are "slimy".

Yes and yes.

Whatever you do, don't feel sorry for Oneiros while Vidar destroys his stuff; it's very deserved and needed.

Some art in response to the (now finished) Dream Tournament that was held by @nashdoesstuff.

My boys Monarch and Oneiros were up against Shattered!Dream and Swap!Dream and welp, they didn't even last a single round xD Their opponents were too great and powerful (and handsome!), as expected.

And then they all went out for ice cream.

For @nashdoesstuff‘s Dream tournament
