the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin
this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.
you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.
also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

[ID: There are two digital drawings of the Daycare Attendant (Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach). One depicts Sun bowing in a spotlight with one arm out and a devious smile on his face. His outstretched fingers are outside the light, as the tips turn dark blue in the darkness.
The second drawing depicts Moon bowing with both arms out and a mischievous grin. He is in a dark setting, with white stars dotted over his head. /End ID]
I’m back on doll making so here’s a little sunny for the warmup :]c✨
