Lilacstarshine6 - Periwinkle And Lilac Oh My

authors!!

quick question...

Third base is getting stabbed in the stomach and slumping forward with your chin on their shoulder and blood dripping from your mouth

The first of my two valentine’s watercolor posts. This one if more of a platonic direction, if the yellow roses didn’t tip you off. I don’t know, something about these two as pals tickles me pink (if the rest of my blog and AO3 didn’t tip you off lol). I was actually into Broar first if I recall correctly, and then from there I got into Talon and then I read the Katarina fanfic and then next thing you know here I am with an arranged marriage KatGaren fic I’m too busy to work on lol. At this rate I’ll be lucky if that thing is ready before the end of the year.

It was pretty fun practicing watercolors with these two. My color experiments, as always, turned out a little different than I imagined. I really liked drawing Briar’s weird little outfit. I imagine if she ever got to choose her own clothes they’d be like this: a mixture of textures and patterns that’s so eccentric it marks her out immediately. Talon, meanwhile, dresses in the noxian menswear equivalent of “male living space” posts. Shirt. Pants. Belt. What are they made of? Fabric. Cassie despairs at the sight of both of them for entirely different reasons

The final Noxian Christmas comic strip, I think. I’m gonna do a couple more illustrations along this line, along with a detailed post about who got who what horribly misguided gift, but this is the last colored four panel comic I think I have in me. It also seems to be the last one my markers have in them. also, and this is based on nothing but my own imagination and sense of humor, but Talon totally hates when Cassiopeia visits because she drags him to high society events he can’t stand. Cassiopeia, who has banned Kat and Tal from going to any such events without her supervision so they can’t embarrass the family, finds this terribly unreasonable. She doesn’t make him go any the rest of the year. Katarina remains oblivious and thus neutral.

Thank you to Sneykplantt for drawing this up for me! If you enjoyed the video then please leave a like, comment, and subscribe!

The full comic here:

heads up, little bit of blood in this one

One of these days, when I tell myself I’m not going to do any wild shading experiments with this comic, I’ll be telling the truth.

The indoor lighting didn’t turn out quite how I wanted, made the noble’s skin turn out a lot more jaundiced than I imagined. I really like the outdoor lighting tho.

Coming up with the alternate lyrics was actually a ton of fun. Maybe I’ll write the whole thing in a separate post. Enjoy!

Nearly the last of the old art, I think I have one or two pieces left. This is one of those style challenge things that hit their peak in like 2018 I think. Enjoy guessing what changes were stylistic decisions and what were me forgetting the details of this over-complicated outfit lol

Work-in-progress

This takes place far in the future of the funky little story I’ve been telling with these characters, but I don’t really count it as a spoiler tho lol. It’s called the lion’s jester. It’s about Lion’s jester. Truly, I am master of subtlety

I imagine at least some dark angels would like watching her perform. The serfs certainly would. Asmodai of course is allergic to fun of all kinds and hates it lol

The Deliverer

Some OC designs for my little Dark Angels warhammer comic project. Don’t get used to the reasonable anatomy here tho lol, noodle arms and comedic stylization are the name of the game for the real thing. As fun as grimdark may be to read, I cannot write it, and the art’s gonna reflect that

One of these characters I put a ton of thought and consideration in. The other is a bit background character whose outfit I threw together from vague memories and one History Hit video and I am becoming rapidly overstretched to. Guess which one is which

The names got cut off but leftie is Catherine and the one on the right is Evangeline
