Paper Dolls! I have made the process of outfit studies more efficient, and these are the only two sets that are done atm. I'm probably gonna have to make a whole new tag for these huh 🤷

Art dump? Sort of? Basically, a few of the things I've neglected to post over the last few months/millennia.

Inspired by this lovely post, and this lovely follow up post! I was so bowled over by the fits that I decided to alter/update an old Diteline sketch to match!

Finally managed to establish a consistent character design for my pathetic little wet mop of a daughter. Huzzah!

AU in which Jack either a) never leaves or b) leaves but comes back almost immediately.

More bb Cold Front. Jack would almost certainly not have been wearing pinstriped trousers that far back, but they were easier to draw than something period appropriate! The difference in foot size is making me weak at the knees.

Meant to post this on Valentine's Day. 😅 Some Bernelle, Blinter and Diteline, as well as Jucy. Figured if anyone could get B-Man jivin' it was Miss Elle (property of the lovely shittyelfwriter).

Theym, or something. In ch. 4 of ML I mention that Lucy has blonde highlights. I've since decided that they're not so much highlightS as one big streak, that she uses to cover up a lil grey area (if I can be going grey at age 27 she can be going grey at 35). I think she also dyes it pink every so often, for funsies; as she has in the upper lefthand pic. She looks v NYC Grunge in that one, as an aside. Apart from the Bears cap, that is, which is decidedly Illinoisan. The coat was borrowed (stolen) from her dad and the hoodie is her old varsity one from Harvard. Oh, and her earrings are teeny planets, bc yay space!

feeling very grateful for roeverse and frostverse besties on this day…if one more person tells me that roe is their comfort fic (I’ve counted five this year alone) my head (and heart) will simply explode

++ frostverse getting the attention it deserves after years of hyping it is the manifesting really coming full circle, Dani deserves every bit of praise for this work of art (can you tell I am currently rereading CS right now?? I am on chapter 7)

Doodle Dump! But it make it more finished, I guess. I had a fair bit of mostly finished stuff lying around so here’s those for ya!

YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM DRAWING JULIAN! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! He’s so incredibly complicated, but every once and a while he actually likes being in his own company and isn't trying to constantly hurl himself off a cliff! Sometimes he likes being himself and he never tell anyone that ever.

And I got the scale all wrong with the rest of the frost fam in that next one, but I liked the idea of him picking up Jacqueline like a claw machine, so I rendered and kept it. Fun Fact! I'd like to imagine when Julian picks up all the frost family at once (Blaise in two hands, everyone else in one), he got the idea to learn how to juggle with all six arms. Neither Jack nor Kills knows how to juggle, but Julian is DTERMINED to learn how to do it with SIX ARMS.

I’m still not over @herbalsingularitea Jack design so I think this counts as a little fanart for them! He’s just so SHAPEY and I've been taking style notes because Moss is really good at this you guys. I also did a version where I imposed my own color scheme onto him just to see how it would look. Keep up the great work my guy!

And lastly, these guys are doing an outfit swap, kinda? Style swap, I guess? Their wearing each other's elements basically. I have a lot to say about both of their design choices, but in essence: I leaned real hard in a Mad Hatter direction for Jack and spiked up MN to the heavens. It was just a fun design experiment. 

(I also gave a brown-haired version to Jack because when making it I was still debating whether or not his hair was brown or blue when its thawed. But its firmly blue now. so shhhhh)

He’s only small! You can't get mad at him when he’s so tiny!

Older Frost Kids my BELOVED. This was basically just a warmup thing that I liked enough to do flats on (Thats what MOST of the things here are: Just roughs/sketches/warmups that I liked enough to clean up and color). But this image screamed the frost siblings to me, so I had to do it. Fiera with the mustard is a whole mood.

Scrimbly Jacqueline 19/20: I gave her a cloak. bitches love cloaks! (i'm bitches)

I also drew her staff! She has one, too :)

This nearly became Sorceress-Warlock Jacqueline from THIS AU. Didn't feel like drawing that fit tho so it's just regular canon Jacqueline, lol. (but picturing the scars and the eye patch she doesn't actually need but wears for the aesthetic was a FUN mental image at the beginning of the week! then the horrors persisted and I went WHO HAS THE SPOONS. NOT ME)

Drawing the whooshy cloak was fun. Colouring it was even MORE fun. I was going CRAZY last night trying to find a post I made where I described Jacqueline's staff?? I COULDN'T FUCKING FIND IT AND I S2G I READ IT THE OTHER DAY. LIKE EARLIER THIS WEEK. So hopefully my visual memory served me WELL and I don't find the post and go FUCKING EH at a later date, lol.

this scrimbly was very much a scrimbly lol. I think it took me like 10 minutes to doodle. I'm having a LOW ENERGY WEEK. Feelin burnt out af and dreading the weekend! Woo! Almost DIDN'T scrimbly! Thinking this week's little down spin is gonna push back Frostmas crossposting which is SUPER RUDE bc like. THE AESTHETIC. UPDATING ON THE UNLUCKY DAY. BOO!

RIGHT. DANI RANTS ASIDE, WANT SOME CS LORE/FACTS? BC I GOT SOME! WOO:

All four Frosts would pass the warlock test--the question is, do they fully embrace it? Fino does. Fiera does but like, second to the summer sprite training. Jack learns what's useful/what he wants/needs to. Jacqueline was FINE not warlocking, she's good with the snow, BUT Jack keeps nagging her to at LEAST take the test and when she passes it he's like c'mon. c'mon. warlock training. you know you want tooo I could teach youuuuu

She holds off for a VERY long time then gets schemey brain a couple of centuries down the line and goes for it. It's spoilery and I do want to keep this one close to my chest, BUT:

Essentially she learns that she has something someone needs/wants back and she can only do that by getting into the Warlock training! She uses this to try and bring two estranged people closer and when it doesn't go well she hits Jack up after hours and is like "so my plan is going. hmm. bad. let's start warlock training?" and Jack's like YEAH LET'S FUCKING GOOOO bc A) he told her so. B) he;s been wanting to get her started with the warlock biz for YEARS! AND out of ALL THE TEACHERS SHE'S COMING TO HIM (well. unofficially) and C) he is also enjoying the tea from her little scheme and about the two people in question, lol.

Anyway, enjoy the scrimble! Next week is some prohibition fun ft. Winter, I THINK. I'll have to check my notes 🤔🤔🤔

(and yes the heart clasp and pink in the staff are bc Dite)

It’s Crystal Clear

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Oh, to figure things out. Seems like that’s a daily routine. There is always something to decipher. There is always an equation to solve. Yesterday, we took a hike at a place known for its springs and clear water. Get your 2024 Calendar here! I think that it’s really neat how many animals and creatures there are in the world. I think it’s pretty awesome that…
