Developing my Last Battle AU... smiles

[bayofwolves]

Narnia is my go to world when I wanna just practise character design.

The silver chair is also great cause it doesn’t have a movie really so the design can be my own (except for the bbc version, but I didn’t really watch those growing up. Just read/listened to the books a million times and watched the Disney/Walden movies.)

Anyway this is mostly Jill, love her so much.

There’s more down here

I saw an aesthetic board one time and ran with it, and it’s also just practise on drawing hair with a tighter curl pattern, idk if it quite counts as Afro hair though. Also I like her being a redhead.

Puddleglum I’m still working on, clothes are hard!! I love fantasy character design in general but I find it difficult to imagine what clothing the characters would wear, it makes me feel like I wanna take a whole ass historical/fantasy clothing course or something.

Also I can’t make up my mind on how I wanna do his hair. I’m definitely taking influence from the illustrations in the book. Anyway love frogman and he must be tall and lanky and I’m just going from there.

I am happy with how the clothes look especially given my insecurities about clothing design for characters, I feel like she looks like a little hobbit! (I imagine her and eustace and puddleglum bundling up quite a bit for most of their travels.)

I also did an alt version of her hair cause I prefer the curls myself, but I don’t know what black hairstyles would have mostly been in London at the time? I feel like relaxed/1940s wavy style hair (whatever it’s called) would be more accurate but idk. I think both work for her character, I think they express different aspects of it.

The school outfit was very rushed, I mostly know if I were to develop it more I’d want it to look frumpy and awkward especially cause it would (in theory) contrast to the narnian outfits. I still have the travel outfits full though cause generally the journey in SC is kind of gloomy in vibes. Harfaang (harfang? Idk) is LOOSELY Nordic inspired except i really didn’t do that much research. Also those sketches are the earliest ones and they’re from long ago so I may revisit sometime and change things.

My headcanon/thing that I do with most narnian as in Cair Paravel clothing is that it’s embroidered with things like flowers, trees, leaves, natural things. As well as royal and foresty ish colours. So I tried to at least make harfaang clothes different from that, and some geometric detail in the dress. Also the dress was green in the book illustrations so therefore it’s green.

I need to just start Posting again. My problem is that I want every post to be a long, thought-out essay when I don't always have the time for that. I should just start word-vomiting.

It may be time to singlehandedly revive the fandom once again.

happy pride month, friends :)

I'm hoping that my newest short story will help me get back to my bigger writing projects. I really want to return to Erdas and Narnia, but it's been so long since I had the time to sit down and write anything, really. Let's hope I can follow through with this one.

"Late one night in Elaine's empty home, the phone unexpectedly rings. The caller claims to be Brennan, her ex-boyfriend. He sounds like him, talks like him and knows things only Brennan would know. There's just one thing: Brennan died in a car crash three months ago."

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?

But when Moonpaw was almost ready for her final dash and pounce, she caught sight of her own reflection in the lapping lake water. She saw her familiar, divided face, and another cat, a stranger, peering over her shoulder, as if it was standing behind her.

Startled, Moonpaw jerked to her paws, letting out an involuntary gasp. The squirrel sat upright in alarm, then raced off to disappear into the undergrowth.

Moonpaw barely noticed it go. Hurriedly, she twisted her neck to look back, but there was no cat behind her.

Did I really see that? she asked herself. I couldn’t have.

But when she looked at her reflection, she still saw the small pale orange tabby cat looking over her shoulder. She met its green gaze. The orange tabby was exactly the same color and pattern as the left side of Moonpaw’s face. Who was it?

Don’t tell any cat, the reflected cat mewed, its voice familiar in her head. This is our secret.

This is another one that's been sitting in my files for a while, but this one has seen so much tweaking and re-shading and fixing colors and textures... I think I finally got it to where I'm actually happy with it, but man was this one frustrating to work on. :P I feel like I'm stagnating in my art a bit, I want to learn to improve but I can't quite figure it out. Ack.

Anyway, I am actually happy with it in the end I think. This is of course the scene from The Elders' Quest quoted above where Moonpaw first sees her sister's spirit in her reflection in the lake. I actually like how the lake water turned out, and I finally got the reflections looking how I wanted.

artist in denial of being depressed: omg this 2 month long art block has been crazy... sorry i haven't updated any of my fics in a long while! it's just been super difficult to daydream! so weird that i've lost a little bit of passion for my current comfort character and ocs... this couldn't possibly have any implications or alternative explanations
