Worst Fear (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 13)

Worst Fear (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 13)

[Hollow Hearts]

Choi: This is a recreation of an angsty shower scene that I wanted to do of Samak. Back when it was Tegaki E, I doodled a moody composition of Samak just brooding under a running shower. Unfortunately, I couldn't do very much to expand on it because a few users started commenting on it and started taking it to very irrelevant story territories. Samak back then just had the quality of being a thirst trap in RP circles, I guess 🤷🏻

Anyway! I'm happy how this turned out as far as redraws go. It certainly was cathartic to draw Samak crying out of anger, rather than lying back passive and depressed.

Now as for the prompt: Samak's worst fear was losing his boyfriend, Cole. Which happened. And not only did it happen, it was in the worst possible way - at Samak's own hands. Now he has to live with that, and it haunts him all the time. And that was all just the *beginning* of Samak's story.

How exactly that all shook out, and what happens next, you'll have to stay tuned to see...!

Movie Night (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 10)

[Rara Avis]

Ismaire:

Goldstone and Sandstone, the two oldest children of fai royalty, have abandoned their seats to sit as close as possible to the stage on "theater night." A specially requested performance group has come from across the kingdom to put on a play about the founding of the fai kingdom as it is known today, when their ancestor made a pact with the primal of the earth element and secured protection and prosperity for their people that has lasted tens of generations.

The two close siblings whisper and giggle to each other as they enjoy the colorful performers' prancing in elaborate, symbolic costumes. It's the most fun they've had since winter came and it got too chilly to play outside for long.

We haven't settled on the final designs of characters in this story and are still experimenting, so they are likely to change quite a bit as we nail it down, but we at least know these two cuties will be "fai" - a basically faerie-like race in the world of Rara Avis. More about them to come once they're grown-up~

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.

Grieving (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 12)

[V E S S E L S]

Ismaire:

The three exhausted survivors finally made it back to Wendthy's hideout to move her little family to somewhere safer, as agreed... only to find the door hanging open - and just past the threshold, her whole life turned upside-down.

No... not them, they were just children! It couldn't be too late. Wendthy couldn't have just lost everything she had worked so hard to protect because of one terrible, vengeance-driven mistake.

The kids couldn't have known what was going on outside. They must have seen her friend at the door and let him in, with no way of knowing he had downloaded that virus that was making every robot, cyber-body and implant in the city go nuts and... and do things like this.

Not the kids, please. Please let this be a bad dream.

A little break from the Sketchtember prompts for a sec. Last couple days got busy so I'm playing catch up x_x

We've been playing around with Unvale.io as a way to organize our characters (sorta like Toyhou.se). The first time we fiddled around with it, it was neat to see pages for a gallery, traits, and even a written section for an OC. I just posted a drabble in there, so go check it out if you wanna read some pre-teen intro shenanigans :') MyungJin's kind of a butt, but what 12-year-old isn't?
