A second post was expected, right? More doodles based on the IF by A. Hazard, @oneknightstand-if One Knight Stand

A few Merlins as I still try to figure out what design to go with u-u and a bunch of the totally not a stalker or liar bff Adrian Benoni. Honestly a delight of a character and Tahir's legit best friend (pls don't get killed, Tahir doesn't need to add more people to the murder list)

Also, Adrian, buddy, I'm so sorry. You're gonna suffer so much... But I'll have fun while you do~!

Ayy new job tried to keep me from doodling but I persevere! And I'm back with more silly fanart of an IF. This time A. Hazard's @oneknightstand-if One Knight Stand (that I've forced on suggested to so many people, RIP all those possessed MCs) with a not possessed security guard amnesiac serial killer totally well adjusted guy who doesn't at all begrudge the justice system.

Haven't met Lorelei yet, but considering her hellhound-body count and her interest in camping I and Tahir can't wait to meet her. Hoping they get to bound over all the hunting+survival knives he has for entirely innocent reasons uwu

A not fully canonical look for my hunter's raven bff from Within Your Eyes @within-your-eyes-if by Alahria!

Cluster, short for Star Cluster, as the name of the hunter's loyal raven bff and service raven.

So this one is very headcanon but some times lack of melanin, due to genetics or injury, in birds can manifest with feathers or parts of feather without pigmentation and the idea just fit the name I'd given him too well not to scribble :p

Also a doodle of Lee suffering from Ly starting a beef with a bird under the readmore~

Ly reminds me of a cat messing with a full bath~ too curious for their own good and about to learn some unfortunate lessons. They're probably my fav character honestly!

[somethingsomeart]

The Shire's coat is a deep bay color, the sheen rippling almost black. The feathers on her large legs are white, as is the stripe that starts at her forehead and merges with her pink muzzle. Her long black mane covers her eyes. You run your fingers along her cheek, taking in her beauty.

Nebula, as my MC named her, for the way light reflects on the hair of her flank.

I don't know anything about horses so asked my boyfriend to pick, so my hunter gets a very big, darling Shire service horse! Also a couple of doodles that include Hestia and Gabriel under the readmore!

First time I played I actually read Gabriel's height wrong and thought that For Once my MC wasn't going to be one of the shortest of the group. I was wrong 🎶 but at least he has very sweet company!

It's absurd, and you can't help but laugh, though it only masks your fear, "What are you saying?" You lean in jest, a joke that falls flat in the midst of building emotions, "Is it love at first sight?"

Sorry, Gab, it'll get better (probably), promise!

I actually wasn't expecting Gab to be the kind of romantic flirt they ended up being! It was really fun to read. They're adorable~

"This one is mostly leather if you're generally quick in close quarters. It's dark, thigh-high boots, the carvings are delicate, and it's exquisite. There's plating on the shoulders and forearms." A few scribbles based on the interactive fiction work of Within Your Eyes @within-your-eyes-if by Alahria!

Been meaning to post these for aaaaaages but then I got busy and then I got sick, so I got busier, then I got sick again, so-- ANYWAY! Did y'all know that Zweihänder could be as tall, tip to pommel, as their users?? Tol bois!

The doodles of Ly, Gabby, Hestia and Lee I'm dropping under the cut o7

Noel Lykaon 🥰

Totally not biased for Noel from @northern-passage's IF The Northern Passage.

Tho Lea is so fun to poke, and Merry is real cute too... At this point I'm probably going to have to do 4 playthroughs to have Tahir kiss as many of the LIs as possible¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh no, how terrible~ gonna have to do so much shippy art~

[somethingsomeart]

I'm back on my bullshit again~! A more proper view of Hunter!Tahir (where he's not suffering my memes for once) as I imagined him while I played through The Northern Passage IF demo @northern-passage And small scenes and interactions with the characters: Lea Chen, Merry Harlowe, Clementine and Noel Lykaon

Special appearances by Dot (the horse), a badly carved turtle, a little lucky bell and the Rot (and Tahir at the end of the demo)

Fangirlish rambling under the cut! It long

This honestly largely took this long cuz I could *not* figure out which scene I wanted to use for Noel! Xe has a ton of really great scenes but in most the Hunter wears their cloak (as per usual) and I really wanted one where that doesn't happen. Cuz, for Tahir, Noel is one of the people he's the most comfortable just being himself around rather than a hunter, cuz xe is hunter too but kind and he makes it easier. And since Tahir is an idiot who didn't even care to check for the wraith before going for Clem, he's kinda unconscious when they first meet!

So I ended up picking the scene in front of the door after the Hunter accidentally-on-purpose opens the Vel, where, to hide xirs fear and concern ('m guessing), Noel makes a joke that actually has the Hunter laughing. A short moment of almost normalcy surrounded by something that, of the group, only the two fully share.

Meanwhile Lea (he/him from a d3 toss) gets to be a gremlin! It was honestly a cute and really natural scene that I'd been itching to doodle for a bit so here it is! (Tahir's horse is called Dot cuz she has a dot in the centre of her forehead. She's a lusitano uwu I'm dating a horseboy, I gotta respect the horse) Tahir's favourite (non alcoholic) drink is actually coffee so Lea won himself some extra points right there! That he immediately lost for laughing at Tahir's suffering >:'(

Merry gets the scene with the little carved turtle cuz my thoughts were pretty much the same as Tahir's when I read the scene. It was really cute! It felt like seeing Merry rather than the pirate captain who is trying to protect her town, almost vulnerable and caring for just a little trinket that matters to her. Basically, Merry cute, cute Merry cute, I draw

Clem gets to tell a story! A story that, I'm sure, isn't going to be deeply meaningful nor anything. This is also a moment where Clem reaches out to the Hunter with an offer to protect them so I really wanted to include it. Despite how scared they seem, they still offer to come to the Hunter if he calls, and, ye, wanted to draw that!

And Tahir! As the Hunter. Tahir has brown eyes in the narration but he normally has amber ones, so I kept here even if it's hard to see ':D

Alcohol for his poison of choice. Favourite magic is sword. Touch starved as much as touch averse, no, he doesn't get it either.

He promised Jorah and he means to keep that promise, but gods if he’s not tired…

Very protective of his people: Noel, Lea and his dads mentors in particular, but Merry and Clem too (and whoever might need protection but these people most of all atm). In part thanks to that promise, and how it does help remind him to not hate others for… well, most of what being a hunter means, but it has led to him internalising a lot of that anger into a lack of care for his own safety that then leads to him being almost self-sacrificing when others are in danger. It’s fine tho! He’s fine!

He’s always fine, he has to be.

I haven’t figured out yet which romance path he’s gonna go for yet! Merry cute, Lea is delightful drama, and Noel is an absolute darling (sorry, Clem, you're not an option for Tahir, but at least that means less angst in your life??) so I am dying here!!

At this point in the demo Tahir’s managed to fight with Lea, but still agreed to talk, and lit his pipe (delicious scene btw, 5 stars~), was not kicked out of Merry’s ship cuz he kept away from the books but did get kicked out of her office when he went there to talk (yes, it hurt. A lot. He felt like such an idiot), been flustered by Noel and had a surprisingly not terrible conversation with him before they went to the isolation district, and made a blood pact with Clem, that came back to bite him in the ass (but also not really cuz wow! Keres hurts), he wants to have a little chat, Clem…!

He also got punched with the butt of a knife in the face by Duncan but paid him back in the final-current-demo-fight >:) (Duncan is awful in the absolutely best way possible! Had a lot of fun in his scenes and really enjoying hating the guy)

Really excited to get to find out what the hell Jorah is doing there, and working with/for Keres and Duncan?? In future chapters. (Also, Tahir would like to know where's Rodrick?? Where's dad, dad??) Also to find out more about the Hunter’s new “little” tagalong (aka, the Firstborn, I'm still going all in it's them!). Tahir actually doesn’t hate them, since they’ve only hurt him (as far as he knows) and not his people so there’s a good chance they’ll maybe be actually able to talk??

If you read this far, wow.

"But you have to promise me - that you'll always stop the wolves when they come. Out of the dark, scratching at the door. You can't let them in,"

"And it will be tempting, sometimes. I know it. We've all had the temptation - to just let nature take its course. Let the wolves feed."

A quick thing inspired by The Northern Passage, also found @northern-passage, as it continues to live rent free inside my head.

[somethingsomeart]

I read somethin' about a Merry/Lea(/Hunter) path~? 👀

Cutie-pies from The Northern Passage by kit @northern-passage

used to practice swimming and all of us there had buffy shoulders from it, so based Merry's body type on Olympic swimmers

Was this also mostly an excuse to practice drawing Merry and Lea? Maybe~

[somethingsomeart]

I'm back on my bullshit! \( º∀º )/

Another meme with ??? and (Tahir as) the Hunter from The Northern Passage by kit @northern-passage

(Just one more meme after this, promise 😂)

[somethingsomeart]

Hello and welcome to my most recent obsession! The Northern Passage IF demo by kit, @northern-passage

And, ofc, as with everything I like, I had to meme it

I don't know if deiticide is actually what giant, golden eyed and spooky is all about but considering I'm about... 83...? % sure that's the Firstborn, who was chained and imprisoned under the sea and... Well, I'd get it if the pupper wanted to commit some murder, is what I mean

Tahir Salit

"Most likely to thrive in the apocalypse."

Neutral Good bi disaster who likes: weapons, the outdoors, fighting, astrology papers. Dislikes: his ex, fighting (look, it's complicated), sweets

Obvs when you're scared of your son dying like his father the best solution is to get him the best and most ruthless combat and survival training possible, yeah? No? Well, Tahir's mom, Adaia, disagrees. A 9yo should totally know how to kill a man field-dress a rabbit with his bare hands.

It's not the healthiest life for a kid and that's why Tahir splits as soon as he can, but, man, all that survival training certainly doesn't teach you how to interact with people...

He figures it out tho, kinda, even gets to be an astrophysics nerd!

And, honestly, who knows when a zombie apocalypse might drop! Always good to have the goof with a survival bag under his bed on your side

~~~

My second oldest OC, my main boy that I draw too much of~!

If I play an RPG or anything that lets me make a character Tahir's the one I'm most likely to play with uwu Extremely combat capable, very social interaction incapable with 0 knowledge of media and more likely to blow up a 5G phone than send you a meme.

I meant to post all my OCs together but, welp~! Might as well at least post 1! And this is tumblr, who gives a shit about ~*~organisation~*~
