So, I am burnt out 😂 HOWEVER if I don’t draw one stupid thing a month, I might go crazy so please, have these sketches of Sailor Mars because my sister put this idea in my brain and I had to get it out

[alabasterpickles]

So uh, I can explain

Except everyone and their mother probably saw this coming 😂

Had to draw my fave alien single dad turned begrudging mercenary because I had a teeny tiny bit of motivation after this week’s workload and it just felt right

[alabasterpickles]

Soooo I got into something neeeew this week

Can you guess what it is? 😂

My sister @bromeoanddudeliet asked me to binge Dandadan this week and between schoolwork I’ve been picking at this drawing of the Nerd Wonder

Hey everyone!!

Sorry for the late post, I have been absolutely swamped at school and have very little time for anything extra so unfortunately, this month’s chapter of “A Matter of Life and Death” is going to be a little late. I’m aiming for sometime this coming week, but I’m in an accelerated college program and we are just about to enter finals so we shall see!

I also want to have a drawing to post with it — it’s a longish chapter!

Anyway, thank you for your patience!! I apologize for not getting this PSA out sooner!

Hey everyone, sorry for the long silence, I’ve been really burnt out this semester so far so 😂 all I have for y’all are a handful of LOZ sketches and LOTS of backed up ideas I don’t have time to flesh out

Also, lowkey? Might have fallen in love with Kohga

His antics and charisma are hard to resist

[alabasterpickles]

We are live!!

Alright -- hopefully this is the final post on the matter today!

Chapter 4 of "A Matter of Life and Death" is up and ready for reading! Thank you all for your patience, I hope you enjoy it!

You can read Chapter 4 and the rest of my Underworld fic "A Matter of Life and Death" here

OKAY

So, I'm a day late! But we're here!

I just finished editing the chapter and am preparing to post it, BUT I have an image for it that needs an external host, so I will be posting that here ahead of the chapter release so I can use the Tumblr html

sorry for the wait everyone, this week has been a mess, and one of my desktop monitors pooped out on me to top it all off

Without further ado -- here's this month's chapter drawing!

and here's a bonus look at one of the first concepts I have cooked up for Aphrodite Areia!

Little update —

Chapter 4 of “A Matter of Life and Death” will be up today hopefully a little later this afternoon (I didn’t want to get this behind but, I had a ton of classwork to catch up on today 😬 I’m sorry everybody!!)

I DO have a drawing to go with it this month (yaaay!!) something simple, but my plan is to make more complex illustrations as I go!

[alabasterpickles]

So the last couple weeks have been kinda…. brutal 😂 and today I had some free time, so I drew my favorite Goron dough ball with his kid-assistants as a salve for my weary soul

Bonus under the cut doodle for realism purposes (those legs aren’t functional for high speed chases)

^ the mood of the month 😂

[alabasterpickles]

Have a bowser ladies and gents ✨

Here’s a bunch of bg3 stuff lol I thought it would be cool if default Durge was a companion and Tesni (my Tav cuz I can only have one lmao) is his best friend AND they call him Doug + plus a teeny bit of Tav lore ✌️😌💖

✨✨✨✨✨

[alabasterpickles]

Y’all ready for some REAL oc stuff?? Excellent cause I’ve got plenty

For the last couple weeks of the school term I’ve been pumping out exploratory sketches of the cast of my ya novel to get a better handle on how I’d like them to look

Have some drawings of Lilith at various stages of her life with all the people she knows and has known in the six thousand years she’s been alive!

(There’ll be a companion post with some stuff I couldn’t fit here)

[alabasterpickles]

@lotusquil brought it to my attention that I can add illustrations to my “A Matter of Life and Death” chapters! So that might be a thing that happens from here on out (schedule willing 🤞) though I’m not promising anything too complex, just some sketches for visual interest

Anyway! I don’t really listen to Chappell Roan?? BUT Good Luck, Babe! Came up on the radio and it reminds me a lot of the dynamic between these characters so I drew this out between finals this week to the song!

[alabasterpickles]

Hey everybody!!

Ready for chapter three??

Excellent because it is now UP and ready for reading!

Had kind of a… chaotic weekend 😅 to put it mildly, so no extracurricular art got done, but! I did find one Hades and Pers sketch I’ve never shared (pretty sure??) so I’m sharing below the cut

One other little update about this month’s chapter:

I have two back-to-back chapters that are pretty short. They’re filler/context chapters, so I’m considering doubling up and posting Chapter 4 on the 28th. We’ll see how that pans out because I might just plan a special piece or something for later this month, too!

You can read my whole fic, "A Matter of Life and Death" here

Anyhoozles, please enjoy! Thank you for all the support and comments so far, you’re the best, folks!

[alabasterpickles]

Bonus post because I couldn’t fit it on the other one (yippee!)

These were oc related so I wanted to keep them separate anyway, but here’s my Zora Queen, Sola , hanging out with her kids and husband. She probably passed away shortly after Sidon was born but frankly I wanna think he got some time with his mom before she went

He inherited that winning shark smile from Mama

Second slide is Sola showing off baby Mipha to her proud papa and Dorephan is just falling in love all over again!!!

My mom and I have a running joke that he never leaves his throne because the archway to the throne room is too low

[alabasterpickles]

I was going to wait to share these? Because I have like twenty more drawings in the works, but there’s too many to post all at once anyway, so in the meantime my Zelda palies can have a handful of doodles

Some of these are old and a LOT of theme need context so I’m gonna list them one at a time from top to bottom, ahem

1. So, my sister and I have it in our heads that Tulin and Josha would get on like a house fire, partly because they are the only characters that are the same-ish age and partly because they’re both tenacious little turkeys (pun intended, yes) with LOADS of spirit to spare

But also, I can see Tulin hanging out around her a lot now that he's a Sage and will be spending most of his time at Lookout Landing. Plus Josha is all into history and relics and she's a little bossy so it just makes SO much sense that he'd develop a crush on her

I think he'd appreciate the attention, too! if he's anything like his hero, Revali, or even Teba (which, like father like son) he's bound to be a bit of a show-off around the ladies

Teba is somewhere off screen facepalming because his son flirts like a plywood board

2. NUMBA TWO; I was playing skyward sword on the switch, thought about loftwings, thought about Rito and bam! Crimson loftwing Rito. That’s pretty much all there was to this one. Thought about drawing Zelda’s loftwing as his wife too!

3. OKAY ITS BECAUSE DARSTON WAS MY FAVE IN ECHOES OF WISDOM, so i drew him in BOTW’s style. I have no regrets (I loved the Gerudo Princess too!) see a pattern here? Yeah, neither do I.

4. That’s just Gomo the Goromand because I’m lowkey in love with him and his funny little ‘do.

5. Just Urbosa being a total badass as usual and because her AOC dialogue in the Thunderblight Ganon fight sequence guts me a little.

6-9. Sage Charm designs I started drawing ages ago and still want to finish (but they’ll have to wait because of school)! I promise Tulin is there, he’s just trapped in thumbnail form!!!

10. Oldie but goodie because I am hyped for age of imprisonment and really, really, really look forward to seeing more of the dynamic between Rauru and his granddaughter. And also?? I want more of Zelda and Mineru’s relationship too, because that girl waited 10,000 years, witnessed the sacrifice of her niece, lost her brother, sister-in-law and her friends, AND her body, to help Link and if that doesn’t make her the coolest sage I don’t know what does
