"Are Ya Cold Lad?"
"Are ya cold Lad?"

Idk why I made this but I hope you like it!
(Its really old)
For everyone who found their way here via a link:
[Tw: Includes swearing and hints at suicide]
The winds are cold, and in the morning, it howls past the walls of the lighthouse, with small droplets of salt water and rain pitter pattering against the fogged up windows of my kitchen.
Once again, I drink my tea, black with a swig of Rum in it to spice things up... for the 50th time in a row.
It wasn't tastes. It wasn't nice, but I had run out of sugar a while ago. And getting any now was pointless and, quite frankly, a waste of time I didn't have.
I finished my coffee, ate a tuna sandwich, and put on the clothes left scattered around the house where I hadn't put them, making my way down town to buy some ingredients for my stew. Of course, with ham, potatoes, and other veggies. Maybe some melted cheese to give it a bit of extra taste.
This stew had been a special meal... Had. Instead, it had become a chore, and even though I dragged myself to my car all the same and the motor once again needed exactly 3 turns of the key to start, it never became easier.
The drive was exactly 20 minutes. And on the way, I barely managed to swerve aside to not hit an animal on the road. I knew it was there, but for some reason, i was always surprised by it notherless.
Tired eyes on the surrounding areas, as I parked the old and rusty truck in front of a convenience store.
Or rather in inconvenience store, as one door always broke right as I enter.
I grab the items I want, smacking the exact amount of money needed on the counter, grumbling about how I won't need a receipt, before leaving the store, ignoring the group of women who had been trying to reach out to me every single day.
"No. I'm not interested in talking to yer scrummy arse." I yell back as the women begin to hiss back insults, but I drive off before they can continue.
It was always a small town, and a few years ago, I would have actually cared about their opinion... but now I don't anymore. It didn't matter if I was polite or impolite anyway... They wouldn't remember.
During the noon, I cut the veggies, blending some after a brief cooking with the molten cheese before letting it simmer with the meat and slowly adding different ingredients and broths to the stew. In the late noon, I go outside, with the stew on low,staring at the Sea solemnly.
"I see a storm comin." I'd say, even though my behaviour today refuses me any person to tell this to. And I'll continue watching the sea for around an hour more. Not moving. Not caring about the cold. It's not like it mattered much...
After which, I'd hurry inside, believing my stew to be overcooked, or burning, or whatever I thought it did.
It didn't, though. It was perfect. As always. Having a meal every single day caused you to do that, even unintentionally sometimes.
I sit back and eat my stew. Or I just stare at it. It's either of the two.
Today was supposed to be my birthday.
Today was supposed to be a feast for my friends, who never showed up. And yesterday was supposed to be my birthday as well. And the day before that. But no matter who I talked to that day, no matter what I did, in no version, anyone showed up.
It never mattered.
My spoon clattered against the bowl and I stare at it tiredly.
I couldn't do this anymore. I just can't take it anymore. Every day..
I look over at the boat rope, laying curled up on the Chair I had left it months ago, before this all started...
Maybe trying it again would work... maybe I'd be free.

New plant Terrarium in an old aquarium is finally done!
Im really happy about how it turned out. The leaning process alone already took me half a day and the planting/styling process as well.
I especially love the little fuzz plant next ti the tkny rock garden, its very bouncy!
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, ill try to answer them asap :]
I have become obsessed with terrariums lately-
BEHOLD
THE BOY
This is kind of a concept for a form of one of my new characters. Hehe
I FINALLY MADR AN ACTUAL REF SHEET FOR TK
Okay, that's all. Have a great day :]
Also, I finished this while I was really tired, so please bear with me!
Just realised I messed up some colours, but standing with one arm out is the correct one.
I'll fix it later! (Will edit then)
Cw: TK being sliced in half (they're fine, just need to regenerate)
TK getting sliced during the even waaa. It was so much fun but I guess even blobs get killed sometimes-
Thank you to everyone who let me steal borrow their characters for cameos!
Cameos, honourable mentions and extras below!
(Sorry for the pixilated images. Might switch them out later!)
Thank you, @ulsia333 , for letting me steal Narry and Stanley! (And providing me a sketch!!) The sketch was very helpful (I can't get the shapes right for some reason), and the colouring of narry was fun!
(Next to Stanley is my boy Neil. Horrified because TK is his Son/Daughter)
Thank you @miezmiau-animations for Beetley, the beauty!
She was super fun to draw, even though it posed a great challenge!
Also, a rare cameo of my curator, Claire. hehehehhe
The aftermath:
Scooped up into a bucket!
They will be fine soon but Neil now has to carry them around all the time.
My sonaa reaction because yes.
(This is actually kinda how I looked because I was drawing for about 12 hours in order not to miss the deadline. If my sona had arms, I would have drawn them in a cast because OH BOY.)
This was the original sketch for this pose
I would love that!
Hiii, so I hope it's okay that I don't have a Reference sheet for Raymond (my Narrator). Those are the best pictures I have, hope that is alrighty! <3
(I really gotta make a reference sheet for him)
Thank youuuu <3333
Thank you! And yes, that's absolutely fine!
Raymond is gorgeous!!
Here, I hope it looks accurate enough!
I didn't know what colors to use, so I just gave them a couple of golden sparkles >:]
Here I'm gonna ramble about how much and what exactly I love about the design!
The little deteils in this design are really difficult to draw for me but they're really pretty. The chain attached to the glasses especially.
I like the detail of the charm on them, and I can imagine them shining around with slightly exaggerated headmovements during narration.
The ruffles and layers are really nice and give me the vibe of innocence and elegant women from an earlier era, but the short haircut kinda gives me "Professional buisness woman", if that makes sense?
I love the length and the way it lays over Raymond's head like a bit of silk.
I also love the corset deteil as it gives more siluette in my opinion.
The posture of the reference reminds me of the mona Lisa, with a serene and calm, yet slightly sly smile on Raymond's lips and Sharp eyes.
I just all in all love the vibe Raymond gives off >:]
I would totally drink tea with your narrator in an elegant rose garden, with a very delicate, pretty tea set and some biscuits!
I hope you enjoy!!
Thanks
(Clarification: no, I did not forget the hat. The two circles between the eyes are the hat from above! I should have shaded it probably pwq)
Webnar 🫵🌼💖
(I love him sm)
Another Narrator - Webnar, he isn't quite human and he is for AU of mine. I thought about it a lot and ended up sketching something for it and actually coloring this part.
can you give us more info about the au you wrote in the tags of your newest post? I haven’t seen you discussed it anywhere on here, and it’s nice to see what concepts people come up with
Hello! Thanks for the question. And yes, of course! This is one of the AUs I'm working on as of late.
It's still a work in progress, and I will prehaps end up making a comic later. But it has already been partially playtested in a role-play!
Here's some explaination though:
The eye/s shown in the last post belonged to "Host". Another version of the Narrator, who Lost something that is very important to him. (You can maybe guess what?)
He's trying to get it back. No matter what.
Though, to say the least, his methods are Violent, unethical, and through and through cruel.
To keep some of the mystery while still telling of what kind of story I'm aiming for: It might contain horror and violence. And other things that I will warn about in every related post (including the one the eye teaser belonged to).
This is also one of a few AUs I have currently going on in planning, and I will probably post them in whatever order they are done since my drawing inspiration and schedule are... eh, to say the least. It's chaos.
BUT, I would love to hear what you all think i should post first for the Hosts Horrors AU!
You can also, of course, suggest stuff in the comments and anonymous asks!
If any of you want to interact with the Character Host, you can also write anonymous asks addressed to him! I will post the teased image as soon as I can, so you'll get to see his face very soon!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
(Edit: I just noticed I should have made it a single day instead of a whole week!
So please vote in the other post as well if you want ^^)
AAAAAA I'm so exited!!!!! Thank you so much @/shy-blue-waters for this amazing Collab!!!!

Thank you so much for all your amazing work! So excited to see what you make in this next round!
I have no idea what posessed me to do this but
I drew some of my OCs into this random renaissance painting I found on the Internet.
I'll share some information about the painting below!
Here, we see Neil and his daughter Claire. I tried to adjust Neil's face to the colours of the room, but it was so difficult! Not to mention, the dude HAD A BEARD I had to somehow get rid of.
I'm kind of proud of how Claire truend out, and I also like Neil's hair, but his face? Eh. If anyone has advice on how to fix it, please let me know!
Original painting below!
The artist is apernelty called Tostislav Ivanovich Felizen and is not very well known as far as I can tell? Not even Wikipedia of all placed had ANY articles about it. And the only other info I could find thst he has been born and also died in Russia.
Being born in 1830 and dying at around 1904, not being very known, other than I believe for 2 or 3 paintings. All are in a similar style.
This painting is often referred to as:
Young lady with older gentleman at a table.
Which sounds to me like a description rather than a real name. So I believe none was given.
If anyone else finds more info about this artist, please let me know! While his work isn't my absolute favourite, I find the style he has highlights and lighting fascinating, and it served as a good challenge for my skills. Especially the tone of the whole room!
