#Cha’l the Gelfling

[thanatasia]

I rise from my vampire coffin bed to bring you all more IG Questions I made. Some are from a while ago and others are fairly recent.

We know how I love to write so here’s a brief continued thought for each

It’s not often I draw Fleur and Cha’l as childlings so this one was fun! They’re both so whittle and precious- Maeve and Bhihaar created two cutie pies! I apologize if Fleur’s baby talk is written poorly I was having difficulty writing how I think a young kid would pronounce those words lol

Fleur loves reading and writing so I definitely see her enjoying manga/anime as a young lassywings in a modern au lol Pretend that the screenshots I added have Gelfling ears. She’s one of those younger anime fans who doesn’t let anyone but their closest friends know. (I’m sure this idea is a thing of the past now since anime is pretty mainstream now)

I imagine that this particular scene is from Fleur early bounty hunting days, hence the mask. To keep with the AoR canon Fleur doesn’t kill criminals, she fights them into submission or uses sleeping powder/ta

I will never not be cheering that OceanPetals became parents! Definitely one of Fleur’s most treasured memories. Razer belongs to,my dear friend @jack-toons

The next two are from a reverse au myself and Jack-toons made and- I AM OBSESSED WITH IT!! Aahhhh! Y’all are not ready for that AU lol The Cha’l everyone has come to love is a delinquent and a big time charmer. Reverse au Cha’l gets into plenty of fights, likes to show off his physique to the lassywings he takes a shine to, among other fun things I’ll share in time lol. The first image is of both Cha’ls meeting and OG Cha’l being disappointed. The second is of Cha’l beating someone up for saying something disrespectful to Fleur

The last is of a new ship between Takoda and Adora- they’re so sweet! They are like that sweet couple in a cottage. How the two of them met will be shared another time, for now, Adora’s decision to go topside created many wonderful outcomes she had not anticipated. For Takoda, meeting Adora was a breath of fresh air, he didn’t realize how much he really yearned for that companionship Adora brought with her.

I hope you all enjoy these little sketches until the next one!

So I did my morning Gelfling studies, and I drew @thanatasia Ocs, I know some of them look crappy, but It was my first time drawing them^^

[thanatasia]

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’ve been working on and off on this art challenge that I will be continuing until I finish them all despite the month lol

I’ve got an important commission set to finish before my birthday so my time for self indulgent art is lower than before.

We’ve seen Day 1 earlier this month but a cute first kiss between Fleur and Razer when she confessed her feelings to Razer.

Cha’l and Shiyoon sharing a morning kiss before beginning their day with all of their childlings ready to cause mischief lol. I imaging that the two stay in bed a few extra minutes to just enjoy each others company before their days truly begin lol

Next is Kiel and Sammi enjoying a well deserved date away from all their childlings. Azra is probably babysitting because she knows how to gets all the kiddos in line. Kiel and Sammi’s dates are always welcomed breaths of fresh air, enjoying the serenity and quite of the forest or shores, depending on the location.

The following are two characters no one except my bestie and sister would know, because they are Ocs from a story my sister and I were creating. The guy on the left is Tatsuya and the girl is Asphodel. They have a intense slow burn romance because like all stories with young adults, they are trying to prevent the end of the world. Normally Asphodel has much longer hair but I always intended to have her hair short before the big battle. Here the two share a final kiss before that battle because I imagine they confess to each other earlier.

Continuing on with OceanPetals, we have them trying to share a kiss but their itty bitty baby had a nightmare. So kissy time has to be put on hold lol. The romance isn’t lost for the new parents though! They sneak little pecks here and there. But when their precious treasure calls out for them, nothing else matters. A rare pencil sketch from me because my eyes have gotten pretty bad so I need to limit my screen time. A girl can spend hours and hours straight drawing a piece *cough cough* and searching the web lol

Finally, we have a younger Bhihaar and Maeve sharing a secret moment together. I need to figure out what Bhihaar’s lie is to his Xeric that makes it easy for him to sneak out without much suspicion. Maeve is conflicted because on one hand she doesn’t care what her parents think of the relationship. But, she also is deathly afraid of being disowned by them in these early romantic meet ups. Her wings are missing for the laziness I feel atm, I tried but my brain kinda shut off.

All of these pieces range in many coloring styles but certain ones I plan on prettying up like the first piece.

Razer, Shiyoon and Sammi belong to my dear friend @jack-toons and you can check out their work of them on their other account @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

POV: this post is gonna hit the nostalgia for some of you lol

This series is an ode/friendship letter to 2007 - 2012 AMVs but with a Gelfling twist lol One of these Gelfs is listening to Cascada- we all know which song lol

Only six so far. Idk who will be the cut off but I know who is gonna be in the next bunch!

I had come back from Anime NYC when I sat at a pizzeria that played; Pain by Three Days Grace and when I tell you my nostalgia ignited- I remembered the early days of YouTube (the anime side of it) and the thousands of AMVs my sister and I would watch. Then I also remembered those iPod anime compilations some people posted where it mimicked the iPod ads and used silhouettes of said characters.

OMG the music! The AMVs with the ICONIC songs of the genre and era of early internet anime fandom. The endearing moviemaker watermarks, filters, and transitions. Fanart used without the artist’s knowledge or consent. A lot of dance pop. I was thrown back and it only continued when my sister and I reminisced and listened to some of our favorite AMV songs.

What a marvelous time. Literally any song/most songs you typed in would have an amv, or a slideshow. I believe many of the AMVs my sister and I watched are either deleted, privated or taken down for copyright. The worst is a, Nightwish Sleeping Sun AMV that was BEAUTIFUL sad but well paced, but I believe it’s gone because I can’t find it anymore.

Present day AMVs are good- I saw a recent one for Demon Slayer S2 that was chef’s kiss. The crisp animation makes them more epic compared to the charming but also kinda wonky animated clips in AMVs of anime before 2010-ish.

This was also a mini test to see how recognizable some of my Ocs are when they’re just a silhouette. I’m gonna tag their names below but for funsies in my long description I won’t name them although the placement of a few of them is gonna give it away lol

2 of these Ocs belong to my dear friend @jack-toons / @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash Again, I think we can all tell who they are because 1) their characters have strong silhouettes. And 2) the Gelfling they’re next to give it away lol

[thanatasia]

This is a messy doodle of a random thought that came to mind of how Kiel and Fleur first met

Before the two of them found their soulmates Kiel and Cha’l would kinda hype the other up to strike a conversation with a Gelfling that caught their eye. In this instance things didn’t go down how they normally did- Kiel finally got to see the sister Cha’l would talk about- and witnessed Cha’l’s overly protective big brother side XD

Kiel didn’t put two and two together when he first saw Fleur because at first glance she and Cha’l don’t automatically look like siblings (mostly because their skin tones/patterns are very different, but that hair is a dead giveaway lol)

Idk if my handwriting is too hard to read since I was speeding it so I’ll type the dialogue here:

Kiel: Hey Cha’l! Check out that cutie.

Kiel: Do you think she’ll give a guy like me a chance?

Cha’l: NO

Kiel: Ouch Cha’l what-

Cha’l: That’s my sister

Kiel: … You have a cute sister?

Kiel: Chill! I was looking at her respectively

The big splotch on the second image was Cha’l basically saying that he didn’t want to see Fleur get her heart broken. Before this moment Fleur confessed to Rek’yr but was rejected. She was by the Sifan market to have a little retail therapy and surprise her brother.

[thanatasia]

In this sketch “Smipp” is going to the stand in for “Baka” I went on the Dark Crystal site to see if they had any other Gelfling insults, and Smipp was the one I liked a bit more (maybe I’ll find another because sometimes my eyes see “simp”, I need glasses lol)

Inbetween commission sketch of blushing Fleur and Cha’l. They become blushing wrecks when they are around their special someone (Both characters belong to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash some of you may know who they are but I will say their names when I make a good drawing for them lol)

Kiel is that friend who will destroy a sentimental moment. I don’t picture Kiel being there when love confessions arise but I wanted to play around with his teasing nature and if he happened to be around.

[thanatasia]

Big brother Cha’l in colored pencils! He’s a sweet guy and I love him!

[thanatasia]

I added this to my IG but here are my Dark Crystal OC’s! They are so much fun to draw and destress with, I might do another IG ask and share some of the drawings again.

From left to right;

Fleur (Stonewood x Dousan but she inherited a lot of her father’s features): Adventurer, Bounty Hunter, and Sass for days.

Viara: the sweet bean and the levelheaded one of her friends.

Cha’l ( Stonewood x Dousan, Fleur’s older brother): He travels with the Sifan and loves causing mayhem with his best friend Kiel.

Kiel ( Sifa x Vapra): He goes by many names; Prankster, Sly-Guy, and Sifan Deviant.

I still need to work on their stories but I love them and I wanted to share them with you all.

[thanatasia]

Happy Halloween!!!!

This is my Halloween shipping art (and the grand unveiling to Cha’l and Fleur’s true loves to everyone who doesn’t know) of Cha’l x Shiyoon (EnchantedSandstorms) and Fleur x Razer (OceanPetals)

Shiyoon and Razer belong to @jack-toons & @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

EnchantedSandstorms and OceanPetals ship names were created by @deetcore

Cha’l and Shiyoon are dressed as a Ghost Pirate and Siren, very fitting of the two of them lol. Fleur and Razer are dressed as a Sexy Bee and Sexy Flower, they’re sexy and they know it lol.

These ships make me soft and they are way too adorable!!! This is the beginning to seeing more of these happy couples!

[thanatasia]

I did another Oc Questions Insta-Story again. Maybe I’ll do them here as well.

The first one features Eri @nurloxx Oc. I picture them being party buddies lol. Full disclosure, if Fleur gets drunk enough don’t be surprised if she starts kissing her mug or favorite bottle of brew.

I love Azra! She gives “idgaf” attitude lol

I can’t wait to share a drawing of Cha’l and his girlfriend! All I can say is she belongs to @jack-toons and they are OTP!!!

[thanatasia]

I did my semi monthly “IG Asks” and here are my favorites of Ofir, the youngest Stonesan.

He is a cinnamon roll and I want to hug him!

I’m gonna post up some more once I finish answering the rest!

[thanatasia]

Finally the last bit! I combined Cha’l and Azra because they had the least. I also really liked the drawings I made for Cha’l and I had to share them here as well lol. My spooky baby Azra and her baby! Idk which one this is, I was too lazy to draw both lol

[thanatasia]

In Thra, this month belongs to Azra and her best friend Shiyoon who belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash / @jack-toons They’re two spooky girls and they love it! This sketch was made a while ago but I wanted to post it up because it fits with October and Halloween.

In a modern AU I imagine them singing the “Hex Girls/I’m a Hex Girl” song by the Hex Girls from Scooby Doo lol

Azra’s eyes are normally not as wide as the bottom sketch. They get like that when anyone asks for curses, she’s talking about odd/gross things or she’s babying her 2 pet giant centipedes.

[thanatasia]

I’m doing another Dark Crystal Oc ask more my IG account. So far these are my most favorite and I wanted to share them here as well. Maybe I’ll add more from the first Oc ask?

I hope these make you laugh a bit.

[thanatasia]

I did my Oc questions on IG and here are all of my questions relating to my Sifa babies! I write a lot so the question bar only fit Sera and Tau but everyone was included lol

As always, Azra is always up to grossing other Gelfling out. She has no shame in making the Ta as nasty as possible and saying that it has to be smelly and bitter to work; it’s just a made up excuse, she knows that if someone really wants to see their future they will drink anything. And that Gelfling is gonna have a really bad time when his future happens lol

I really love SkekSa’s design (I have yet to read the last three novels) and it was nice drawing her albeit a redraw of the cover of “Tides” Captain Ortun and Sera; mostly Ortun, get nervous when she comes around. Cha’l doesn’t care for the Skeksis except for SkekSaand both he and Kiel are happy to be noticed by her!

Kiel isn’t always the prankster/trickster we know and love, I believe this is the moment that he and Tau become friends.

And Captain Sera is such a boss! I love her design! Both her and Ortun are fun but Sera is more fun and more intimidating lol

[thanatasia]

@jack-toons and I were talking about Cha’l’s love life and of course I had to draw his exes lol. I can’t stop creating characters it’s too addicting! Cha’l and Fleur have complex relationship issues. Where Fleur must learn that love at first sight isn’t always on your side (for her first encounter with love) and Cha’l endures some of the complications that a relationship can have. I picture Cha’l having multiple run-ins with romance but 2 of those relationships were dear to him.

Lalit was Cha’l’s first love. They would meet in secret for about a trine because her family didn’t approve of their relationship. By the end of their trine together, Cha’l decided to call it off because he felt they weren’t deserving of only experiencing love in the dark and he didn’t want her to be disowned by her family.

Ofir/Tau (I’m leaning more towards Tau) was Cha’l’s last relationship and they were together for a good while. They met when Cha’l joined Kiel’s ship after Kiel had pulled a trick on them. From that moment on Cha’l became closer with them. The two of them had a fun and adventurous relationship but it eventually grew colder as they became more distant and wanted different things in life by the end of their relationship. They remain really good friends though and often share drinks together with Kiel.

Cha’l has no idea what he’s in for in the future lol

I had to share this and I hope you all like their story.
