Magister Hans: About Disguises....

[mochiandturtles]

Hi gois :3

It's been a while! If you guys didn't know, I'm also present in the AFK Journey fandom and this right here is my version of Magister Merlin.

They're kind! They're generous! And most important of all...

They're trying their best.

Based off of Bunnibirds Merlin Wheel I forgot to record what I rolled for but basically:

It was to invite Magister Pirin to dance.

I would like to personally apologise to @yohohonabottle if I didn't manage to capture their character perfectly.

So here's a doodle of my Merlin

"I am aware that I'm not as dashing as our handsome knight, but perhaps would you be interested in a dance to pass the time?"

[mochiandturtles]

"I wanted retribution, but not like this."

[mochiandturtles]

It's been a long time, old friend.

Writer Artist Interview Game

Oh? I guess it's my turn to take on the mic. Thanks @windmaedchen-oceanhorn for the tag

When did you start drawing?

It's hard to remember when but I was really young when I started to make OCs. The youngest I can remember lil old me drawing was when I was still in the Undertale Fandom ( yeahhhhhhhh that was cringe )

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy seeing than what you draw?

I like horror, dark, and the macabre, it's a little difficult due to my artstyle being very scuffed and cutesy. The very rare few times I've scared someone or made them cry with my art is one that make me the proudest. When it comes to art I admire tho... I just can't choose a genre.

Is there an artist you want to emulate or get compared to often?

I was there on YouTube when animation memes are popular and found many artists with beautiful artstyles! So I took the favorite aspects of my fav artists and add them into my style, then overtime I just refined it to my liking. (I am an amalgamation of many artstyles and I accept this nature of mine.)

Can you tell me a bit about your drawing space?

Back then, I only had my phone, hoarded notebook, pens, and color pencils and nothing else. Now that I am attending college, I have a tablet and stylus to use to my heart's content.

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

The idea strikes me and put that idea in a note somewhere, then I can look back on that and explore it a bit more. My idea might not probably work considering I already have ocs to base things on.

Are there any recurring themes in your drawings? Do they surprise you?

Usually it's the hyperfixation of the day and the idea I have. So technically there is not much of a theme.

What is your reason for drawing?

Mostly out of self interest and freedom of expression, there are thoughts and ideas that only drawing can convey. And if I can get money out of this little passion of mine? Who's gonna say no to that?

What do you feel is your greatest strength as an artist?

I think my greatest strength is the shading of my artworks, it makes them feel alive. It's a spray of color that always amazes me.

How do you feel about your own art?

Honestly? I am content with the artstyle I have, but I have the potential to learn more and climb higher. Until then, I have to pass one goal: make horror art.

It's gonna be a little bloody so be warned

I think a take that no one is ready for is that based on the canon human design of Bill, there can only be one thing certain:

Ford has an ugly bastard fetish

In this essay I will-

[mochiandturtles]

I finally got Valen at Supreme+ days so to celebrate this very delayed moment, I drew him getting his ass beat.

Rest assured, this is a fair fisticuffs duel with a doctor on sight.

Oh my god I've been meaning to discuss to many reasons why cutting off the tails is the safest option in Odysseus' POV.

For Sirens to live near to Scylla (Sirenelope talked about the lair of Scylla like they live far from it):

- Are sirens really going to contend with Scylla for food source of all people??

- Charybdis, Scylla's neighbor, would probably eat them if they stick around too long

It only makes sense for them to be distant from each other and distance would take days (too risky to keep the Sirens alive for Mr. I-Want-My-Wife Odysseus over here)

Now that we got distance out of the way, time for:

Siren as Sacrifices:

- Can you keep a siren alive for days without food? ( Insert Curse of Poseidon = No fish :( )

- Scylla, according to the mythos, doesn't actually eat Sirens. Odysseus might've heard about that from the tales. Even worse, they might do a women scorned solidarity and stage a coup.

- The blistering sun. Oh yeah! They have to stay deaf with ear chockfull of beeswax? No way. How would Odysseus know where Scylla would attack from the darkness? (Plus the wax might melt which the Sirens might be biding time for?)

- ... What the hell are the crew going to eat if the Sirens were still alive? Beeswax? (They need that to stay deaf)

thinking about ppl suggesting that ody could've used the sirens as sacrifices, or at least their tails, and i think because the songs ease into one another there's less room for thought about the spacing from one moment to the other? there's no guarantee that they go directly from the sirens to scylla's lair. it could've taken a few days. at the reveal his thought process could've been like:

keep six sirens to sacrifice

oh wait, what if they escape their bindings and attack us or hypnotize the crew

best to just kill them

maybe we keep the tails, tie torches to them?

how long is it to scylla's lair anyway. what if the tails rot during the trip. will she be able to tell?

maybe we can eat the tails?

has anyone eaten a siren before?

what if we get sick

crap

well maybe the tails won't rot enough. or she won't notice

shit, wait, what if the crew gets antsy when she starts attacking the torches and someone does something stupid and we all get attacked in the end

what if i lose more men

...

...

i'm sorry

It's been a while since I drew Edelweiss in here.

Might practice anatomy with him

I want to draw the MC from cooking companions so bad.

Got me looking like:

Not to mention, the one time Hero gives up is The Moment of Clarity. She spoke the line:

"I've taken your will, and you're not getting it back."

I just realized,

It's crazy how Voice of the Hero, the representation of our Will and Agency, immediately notices the lack of agency of The Damsel.
