Saint comforts Artificer

I hope you like it. Drawing with a color restriction is a bit difficult

Woah! I actually love the way you drew Saint’s eyes, it was probably hard with the colour pallet but it think I the colours look really cool!

You are so nice, I love all the art you make of my au so much!!! <3<3<3

What's the mushroom in your PFP? It looks neat :3

It is an old Prince (Agaricus augustus) mushroom! Here are some more photos of this mushroom (all taken by me) in different stages of it’s life cycle!

The Prince mushroom is edible and widely sought after, and I personally can confirm that it tastes good! I’ve foraged and eaten them before, and I don’t regret it! (Just make sure to only eat them when they’re young, the photo in the middle was taken right before I ate those mushrooms, but I definitely wouldn’t eat the ones in the last photo!)

Prince mushrooms can be really big, with caps up to 30cm in diameter! They are found fruiting at the base of conifer trees (but never off the trees themselves) typically in clumps of around three or five. They tend to fruit during early or late summer, and surprisingly enough, have adapted to thrive in areas of human activity. The ones I found were actually in my backyard, which was pretty insane for such a highly prized mushroom! This is the third year in a row they’ve fruited at the base of one particular tree in my yard, so I suspect the mycelium system is in a mycorrhizal relationship with that tree! Works well for me, I get free mushrooms to eat! I’ve spore printed them, and they have dark brown spores and gills. They taste good sautéed with a bit of garlic butter, but I’ve also thrown them into pasta sauce which was pretty tasty!

Re-drew and finished this scene from the ask blog while on my flight cause I thought the perspective looked cool lol (it’s from an Inv flashback for those who haven’t seen the comic)

I posted this at around 5am, it is now 6:42pm and I am happy to say I finally made it home! Yay!

16 hours of travelling overall, 3 hours getting to the airport, 9 hour flight, 4 hours getting home from the airport

about to get on a 9-hour flight, wish me luck!

Are all the siblings in the au all living in the same slug tree/colony??

Yup!

Survivor and Monk were born there, then Arti was invited in, then Hunter was taken in (he didn’t really have a choice lol) and then finally Saint and Inv showed up and asked to join.

The results of the ask blog poll have been very clear, so I’m going to go ahead and make that lol. You can ask the characters more about their lives then!

Okay, I know I said I was gonna make art for Inv and Saint instead of Hunter and Arti again, but I really wanted to draw this one scene from my au lol

the art is under the cut, tw for body horror, there is an almost Hunter long legs in it (not quite fully rotted yet tho)

For those who don’t want to see that (fair enough) It’s basically Arti encountering Hunter having a not very good time while she’s on a hunting mission for the colony. This is the first time she’s seen him since she abandoned him btw.

Yay! Such a cute scene of the twins reuniting after so long of being apart! <3
