DMCV Dante's hair. It's perfect and I love seeing people draw it because its a neat lil prop to help depict Dante.

It first off gives him a scruffy cool uncle look, which was always Dante's final form.

However, it is also the calculated length to obscure his eyes completely, visually depicting him as closed off or masking his emotions.

AND if you pose Dante at the right angle, with his hair shadowing his eyes and a haunted gaze, you turn Dante into a forlorn wife.

🙏 all very important parts of his character. As an illustration:

[ID: Sketches of DMCV Dante's bust. First has him smiling while sighing. Middle has him staring at the viewer with a sorrowful expression, hair shadowing his eyes. Third has him in shadow, hair hiding his eyes. Above are 2 chibi Dante faces, one with an uwu face and one with shadowed eyes, to exaggerate how Dante's depicted. End ID]

ty for listening. I love this sad clown.

hfdjs. I found that first coloured drawing of baby Alucard in my files and was suddenly compelled to draw a bunch of Aria of Sorrow family doodles. That first drawing was made 10 Apr 2023...(it is 20 Apr 2025 now).

IDs are in the alt but they're going under the cut too with closeups.

ID: Coloured doodle of a smiling child Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes, in a little sweater vest with a neck bow. He's smiling so wide you can see fangs. Beside him is a doodle of him as a blueish wolf pup, with its tail wagging. Next to Adrian is a poorly drawn Soma staring at nothing, and mentally he is a loading symbol. 'Congratulations! You're a single father' labels the Soma doodle. End ID]

Also. This was definitely inspired by the fic 'Father of Mine' by TheTurtleFromHell.

[ID: Topdown view of Soma and Adrian sleeping on a couch. Soma's fluffy coat is draped over them like a blanket (it covers Adrian more). They're hugging in their sleep, Adrian tucked into Soma's chest; Adrian has a pained expression, and clutches at Soma's shirt. There's a conversation written next to them:

Soma: Hey, what's wrong?

Adrian: I had a bad dream.

Soma: Want to talk about it?

Adrian: There was a fire...and..you and mother weren't there.

Soma: Then I'll stay here. That way, the dream won't come back. That okay?

Adrian: It is. End ID]

[ID: Part two of the above conversation.

Adrian: I really missed you.

The image switches from the couch to a closeup of Dracula's death. Dracula slumps against Alucard, face unseen, Alucard's sword run bloody through his back. Alucard supports the dying Dracula, face tucked into his shoulder, his one visible eye horrified. He clutches at Dracula's back.

Adrian: I hope this isn't the dream. End ID]

[ID: Mina and Adrian reading a book together on a couch. Mina's pointing to words on the page with a gentle smile.

Mina: This one is Amaterasu, the sun goddess. There's a famous legend about her and a cave...

Adrian: Mhm!

End ID]

[ID: 4 panel comic of Mina and Adrian.

Adrian, holding up a paper: Miss Hakuba! I drew this for you!

Mina, enthused: Really?!

The drawing is shown, Adrian's eager expression peeking out behind it.

Mina: Is that me as Sailor Mars?

Adrian: yes!

Mina: It's so good! You must've worked hard, I'm so proud of you! (the word 'proud' is underlined)

Adrian has a sudden look of surprise/alarm, before fat tears trail down his cheeks.

Mina, worried and reaching out: Adrian? What's wrong?

Adrian: I--*hic*--I don't know...

[ID: Two digital drawings of Roll and Zero. In the first, they stand back to back, Roll facing the camera and Zero with his back to it, shadowed and face unseen. Roll rocks on her heels, looking behind at Zero with an ambiguous expression. Thoughtful. They cast a long shadow. In the second, Zero and Roll offer their hand to the POV character (X). They're in the same pose, side by side like two memories, saying "Need a hand?" End ID]

I completely forgot I had these. From 2023, inspired by the crack theory Zero is Roll. Something something, maybe Roll wanted more power and to transition. X gets deja vu. I think it'd be fun for a secret sibling connection.

[ID: Two digital illustration. In the first, a grown up Nezha listens to a conch on the beach, eyes closed and softly smiling. Ao Bing's image forms out of the waves, scales dotting his face. His expression is affectionate, and he's cupped his hand as if whispering to Nezha. In the second image Ao Bing is gone. Only waves remain. The sun sets. Nezha still cups the conch to his ear. The smile is gone. His eyes are open and blank. End ID.]

[ID: Topdown digital illustration of child!Dante and Vergil, framed between the branches of a tree in autumn, under dappled light. They lay in a field full with fallen maple leaves, limbs tangled; Dante enthusiastically hugs his brother with a wide smile, leaf stuck in his hair. He pats Vergil's back. Vergil returns the hug with a childishly serious expression. Strewn on the group around them are two wooden swords, three plush toys (a demon with droopy horns, a bird, and a black cat) and two apple cores. End ID.]

[ID: Two versions of an illustration of Kyrie as a child, asleep, brows furrowed, yet smiling. In the first is a birds' eye view of her in a nightgown, curled atop a blue bed with dark iron headboards. Her clasped hands are pressed to her forehead, prayerlike. Her thumb's bleeding, and blood stains the blanket and a glinting, jewel studded Umbran watch beside her. She's lit in a soft red. Instead of a floor is a harshly edited maelstrom of noisy reds and blacks, speckled with teal. The title 'RED WITCH BLACK ANGEL' strikes across the image in white. The second image is a recolour of the first, in softer blues. The background is a photo of foamy waves in a blue sea. Kyrie's shaded in cool blue, and white light rims her features and dress. End ID.]

'Red witch black angel' by Pinkmiracle is a stupidly fun read. Kyrie becomes a novice Umbra witch and forms a contract with a demon knight as a kid. No one has any idea what they're doing.

[ID: Spread of female dmc3 Vergils; she has long, messy hair. In the background is a pattern of blue roses. The second image is the same as the first, only some roses are coloured red in clusters of 3.

From bottom left: Vergil standing dismayed, tugging on her collar. Vergil cupping her half of Eva's glowing amulet, in Eva's clothes, face darkened. Two busts of Vergil, half shadowed, smirking. Vergil from behind, hair tied into a low ponytail with a blue ribbon. And Vergil looking aside while shrugging off her coat, arms bare; the light casts the inner lining in gold. End ID.]

[ID: Spread of dmc3 vergils. The colours are murky, except for clusters of bright red roses in the background, wreathed in thorny leaves. The red obscures parts of Vergil, and Eva's amulet. Her faces have been scribbled out in black. End ID]

Emergency: Help Evacuate My Family From GAZA WAR

Dear Humanity,

I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).

I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.

Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.

The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.

We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.

Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.

A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.

Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare

I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.

MY Father Income

Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future

My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.

As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.

When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.

We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.

As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.

Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.

Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.

I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.

Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.

The purpose of the fundraising campaign

The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.

ID: 3 greyscale digital sketches of fem Vergil and V and 1 comic panel of Dante and Vergil online shopping for women's clothes. 1. 3/4 profile of fem Vergil in the DMCV black coat, with a focused expression. Her hair reaches the nape of her neck and slightly falls across her forehead. Light falls across her face. 2. croquis of fem V in 2 dresses. V poses poshly in a floorlength mermaid style black dress that flares out past her knees like a rose. She looks over her shoulder. A cloudy boa's draped over her shoulder and around her black sleeved arm. It's entwined with thorns. Shadow rests at her feet. In the 2nd croquis, V hunches in a flowy black summer maxi dress. It's got no sleeves, so her tattoos are visible. She's raised her cane to avoid where Shadow's tail curls around her bare feet. 3. Fem Vergil walking with Yamato in hand, gazing downward with a cold expression. A white coat with a black fur lined collar is draped over her shoulders, like a cape. She wears a black cravat, black waistcoat, trousers and fingerless gloves. Harsh light and soft shadow carve out her face. 4. Scribbly doodle of Dante and Vergil. Chibi Dante says 'I can give ya some fashion advice', while rubbing his chin with a sure smile. In the background are DMC 2 and DMC 4 Dante's designs, surrounded by sparkles. DMC 4 Dante has a rose in his mouth and an 'uwu' expression. Next to Dante, laptop open, Vergil stares into the distance, thinking very hard. In the background are a sleepy DMC 5 Dante in a stained shirt, and a cocky DMC 3 Dante in the infamous barechest and coat combo. A question mark symbol lingers by Vergil's head at Dante's statement. End ID.

cough the 4th pic with Dante and Vergil was supposed to be part of a comic where they brainstorm a new wardrobe for Vergil. I had no idea how to finish it. It went to a lot of tangents about what character design can communicate and if Vergil even had a clue what her identity was after 20 years of static, or if Dante could even know his sister enough to help, after being separated for over 30 years and only seeing her in like, a variation on 1 villain outfit. Maybe she'd stick with the same clothes. Maybe she'd want to try a sundress.

Worst/best idea from that was putting Vergil in Eva's dress.

Now that I'm typing this, I think part of the ending would've involved Dante marvelling at how pricey women's clothing is and lamenting his wallet. Vergil wonders what Dante's on about. They're not paying for this.

Dante: ?

Vergil: Have you not heard of the 'five finger discount'?

Dante:

Dante: You stole all those fancy coats.

Vergil: You paid in full for yours?

[ID: 2 Digital illustrations of a female DMCV Vergil in a dark space, lit from below. The first is a closeup of her face as she wipes blood off it with the back of her hand. Her eyes are slitted and electric blue. The second image is the fullbody. Blood's splattered on her clothes and hair, and soaks her forearms, hands and face. She glares up while swiping her bloody, gloved hand across her mouth, other hand gripping her sword, Yamato, by her side. Blood drips down the sheathe. Vergil's lit from below, casting eerie shadows on her face. Design: She wears trousers and a vest. The highcollar vest's altered so the midsection curves across the chest like a corset. Her matted hair's waistlength, unbound, and falls across her face and arm. Her arms are toned, and her fingers taper to clawlike points. The image is grainy, and encased in a square pink border; only Yamato's hilt pops out over the border. End ID.]

[ID: The same image of fem Vergil as above, but sans blood and with a subtler grain effect. End ID.]

I was listening to Familyjules/Lollia's Bury the Light cover for some of this. I like their different approach to the more growly parts of the song. The vibes of that cover influenced this piece a decent bit.

[ID: Digital illustration in greys. DMCV Dante grips the Devil Sword Dante one handed; at his feet, at the point of the sword, is the curled up form of child Vergil, asleep in a frumpy longsleeve shirt, shorts and socks. He sleeps with head rested on arms in fetal position, facing Dante. Dante's hunched over, left hand clutching his face. Blood red tears drip down his face and hand; the drops splatter at his feet. The shadow of his sword falls over Vergil; in the background, Dante's shadow raises the sword to stab down. End ID]

[ID: Coloured cartoon/anime illustration of 3 women (Lucia: Plume, Lucia: Crimson Weave, Luna: Laurel) in regular attire, with yellow lighting. They look like a schoolgirl, biker chick and a comfy gamer respectively. They're described further in detail ahead. In the background are doodles of several characters. Lucia Plume stands, looking down wide eyed at a kermit plush in her hands. She wears an oversized green coat with red lining over a uniform (blouse, red tie, black skirt with red lining, stockings, leather shoes). Her skin is tan, her pigtails are done with rectangular red bobbles. Tiny horns poke out of her hair. Lucia Crimson Weave stands next to Plume with a wide legged, confident stance, hand in jacket pocket. She gazes to Plume from aside. She's tan, her white high ponytail done with a large bunnyear red ribbon. She wears a white jacket with red lining/accents and decorative zippers, red goggles around her neck, black turtleneck crop top exposing some underboob, navel piercing, denim shorts with belt chain, black fingerless gloves and ankle boots. Her legs feature several scratch scars. From her left hand dangles keys and a frog keychain. Luna sits with fingers clasped across knees, looking up at both Lucias with a slight smile. She's pale. Black bobbles tie up her shorter white twin tails. She wears black headphones with red accents. Draped over her is a thin white cardigan edged with a grey diamond pattern. Under is a blouse with a red ribbon and grey moon charm, anklelength white skirt, and grey socks. In the background are several doodles of other characters. Liv and Lee in school uniform. Liv has a braided bun and cochlear implant. Lee has a blazer and pimples and a neutral look. Liv smiles wide as she says 'Lucia! You can sit with us!' Commandant (in biker helmet and jacket with gray raven emblem) rubs their head awkwardly while presenting a wrapped gift with tag reading 'to: Lucia' Rosetta (in neck brace and arm cast) glares determinedly with yugioh card between 2 fingers, saying ''Alpha'. It's time to duel.' Behind her Diana in a deer sweater worriedly says 'rosetta please rest.' Phone with group chat named 'ASS NET'. 3 speech bubbles surround it: Exaggerated smiling chibi Roland emanating hearts. 1 heart bounces off a tearful chibi goth Lamia. 1 screenshot of of a youtube page featuring Lamia: Lost Lullaby's mermaid design. End ID.]

punishing gray raven but it's just the postapocalyptic rpg run by a very determined Luna for her younger sister and her friends. Chapter 1 to 8 is their shaky start to getting used to the system before they hit their stride, Luna gets better at narration, and a couple very weird dice rolls lead to wild story adaptation.

[ID: 4 digital illustrations around the concept of fem!V. 1) Cartoony coloured illustration of V eating scaly demon meat with a blank expression. Blood splatters her face and chest. A stray hair dangles in her face. She grips the bones coming out of the meat in both hands like a cartoon hunk of meat. 2) Coloured illustration of V looking aside with Griffon perched on her shoulder. They're half shadowed in blue. 3) Hatchlined sketch of fem!V leaning on her cane with an unimpressed expression. She's tall and willowy, in pants rolled up to her calves, and corset under her coat.

4) 4 panel comic. Panel 1: Vergil and Dante walk forwards, Vergil in foreground, Dante in background. Dante (hands clasped behind head, curious expression) 'Say, Vergil.' Vergil (walking ahead, blankfaced): hm? Panel 2: Vergil looks behind to Dante. Dante (back to viewer, hands still clasped behind head): 'Ya got any clue why V looked like a lady?' Panel 3: Vergil looks aside in thought, represented by a 'loading' symbol. Panel 4: Vergil (expression unchanged, but with a transparent trans pride flag in the background): 'It must have been our mother's human half made manifest.' Dante: neat. Dante: Think I'd make for a cute babe? Vergil: 'Don't fool yourself.' End ID]

i think it would be neat if V/Vergil was a lady.

[ID: Digital illustration of Alpha: Crimson Weave riding her red motorbike in the snow, red goggles on. Her white ponytail and coattails stream in the wind. Sunlight hits her head on while the rest of her is in shadow. Her brows are furrowed as she looks aside with a grim expression. The shadow her bike casts is blood red, matching the splatterlike red on her left arm. The background snow is done with messy grey and black strokes. End ID.]

Fueling this illustration is my love for Alpha's gameplay and her ridiculous, edgy design that 12 year old me would have adored.
