Happy Birthday (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 7)

Happy Birthday (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 7)

[Sweet Nightmares]

Choi: When the main storyline starts, we have it set around June/July of 2018. MyungJin's birthday is on August 15th, so we planned to have some birthday shenanigans for our witch's 25th birthday :)

On a sidenote, MyungJin's not opposed to wearing lingerie. They just never really had people who were interested in it as much as their current boyfriends, so she can't help feeling bashful about wearing lacey intimates in front of people she just only started getting committed to. Plus when all MyungJin's ever worn were comfortable lounge clothes, flannels and denim, and one little black dress, expensive underwear doesn't even come into consideration.

At the same time, she isn't wrong for calling out Bidan's kink for lingerie. However self-serving it may seem, Bidan knows what he likes and takes great joy in giving his lovers all the finest garments he can buy for them 💖

Target Sighted (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 6)

[Sweet Nightmares]

Choi: Remember Giuliano from awhile back? Yeah, that's him in his shifted bipedal form. Fox spirits in general are large in size (for example, Bidan's fox form measures to 8ft long from nose to hind quarters), so you can only imagine how menacing it must be to be stalked by a towering hulk like Giuliano.

Hopefully Bidan's backup is coming soon...

Guilty Pleasure (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 9)

[The Judge]

Ismaire: I guess it's about time I dragged Darr and Ashe into a sweet prompt together, huh?

Let this be proof that, at least much later in the story, Darr finally lets his death grip off the gas a little and learns to relax… sometimes. Almost exclusively with Ashe, and still not as much as he should, but he's learning. He still tends to feel like anything done for personal pleasure is a 'guilty' pleasure, but the two of them just love jamming together so much.

I mean, he painted those lilies on Ashe's guitar for him, for hell's sake. He's so dumb sometimes. Still, progress~

these were fun to loosen up with

Grieving (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 12)

[Rara Avis]

Choi: I promise, Izzy and I didn't intend Day 12's prompt to bring twice as many child deaths in the pictures. But I do gotta say... I'm glad that we're really showing off the "dark" in dark fantasy in our works now ✨🌑✨

The royal siblings Goldie and Sand grew up in happiness, preparing for a life of responsibility and duty, until the assassination of their entire family line. Goldie (26) and Sand (23) found themselves orphaned, grieving, and wandering into the wild countryside. This particular scene is timed around 2-3 weeks since their loss, after they encountered a mysterious scoundrel, whom they contracted to lead them the way to a remote dwarven stronghold.

When everyone turned to sleep that night, Goldie was left alone with her grief while carrying the weight of the last remaining royal bloodline. You can only imagine the ruminating it would take for her to then see a hallucination of her dead baby brother in the mirror.

And it doesn't get easier from there.

Morning Routine (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 8)

[Hollow Hearts]

Ismaire:

This is Samak and Cole again, although you'll notice that just in the few days since the last HH post, Casting Director Choi has changed their designs a bit, lol.

Being a honey rancher is not an easy job by any means, and this alien desert doesn't provide any easy conditions. But sometimes there are cool moments, like when you get to pet the giant fluffy bees and wake them up for the morning. (Getting covered in their scent puts the rest of the bees at ease so you can go harvest the produce. Also, it's fun~)
