Something behind the scenes.
Me and my co-author:
*see this magnificent tea set*.
Apostle Jay:
- This is the tea set that Valdemar and Nadia drink tea from on Fridays*.
/*HC based on the comic "Valdemar Schedule" from the Nix Hydra era and, in fact, the scene in PSL where Valdemar drinks tea/
Me:
- And Nadia periodically asks to borrow the tea set for, say, unpleasant conversations with unpleasant ambassadors.
Apostle Jay:
- And now I imagined Julian like this:
Me:
– "Quaestor, tell me, is there really cyanide in my cup?" asks Doctor №069 with a sly glance over the cup.
"Don't flatter yourself, young man. You've just pulled on the marzipan too hard," answers Valdemar with a calm expression and sets the cup on the saucer with a thin, light clink.
Julian's reaction:
Apostle Jay:
- HOW DID YOU GUESS I LOVE MARZIPAN?!
Me:
- Oh, really, how did I guess that? :}
Here's my birthday /L.S./, and here's... some kind of gift for me, because I love my artists and I love this picture.
Sketch/line: ChilleOutBeast
Coloring: WasteOfPlace
"Is that score for vielle? Such a good transcription."
"Did you..?"
"I can read music. Nothing more, if you want to ask."
"Sex, or Sextans is the equatorial constellation. Located between Leo and Hydra."

Julian, who was working in the Dungens that time, just passed by and overheard Valdemar's line.
"Oh, and you can call me Captain Uranus, right, Quaestor?" - and with a broad smile he tried to dogde a hand dressed in black. But he didn't sucсeeded and recieved a usual slap on his forehead, which didn't erase his smile and his joyful mood anyway. Slightly humming a tune, he headed towards the shelves carrying several test tubes with medical samples.

"What do you know about sex, Quaestor?"
MC asks playfully, trying to look into Valdemar's eyes. For a few seconds Valdemar does not seem to notice. They were engrossed in a brand new anatomy atlas.
"Sex, or Sextans is the equatorial constellation. Located between Leo and Hydra."
Valdemar finally answered without taking their eyes off the page. Then added, stubbornly correcting another article right in the tome,
"And I'm not insisting that you have to feel the same way, but I am definitely insisting."
/sorry not sorry, made just for fun/
I got into WIPs, but there are finished drawings, so in this case my conscience is clear. :D
So, how it started:
How it's going:
(The "Sketch>Finished Art" team, I'm with you guys. Seriously, I really think that coloring is not my strong suit. However, I myself love the dark palette more than the bright one, but I just appreciate the contrasts that WasteOfPlace usually adds.
Like here.
Or here.
However, this is no reason to stop drawing on my own. I don't like to bother my team with my own petty whims. :D /L. S./)
And I hope Anon with the "Valdemar x Julian playlist" request is still here. Someday I will drop the whole playlist, I promise.🫀
(I am synaesthete and I love the dark-blue palette of early Apocalyptica so much. "Not strong enough" is not "the early Apocalyptica™ era", but indeed the Julian POV.)
