I've been in a mood for updating character refs and I knew I had to redesign Sunstone/Daybreak for a long while now, so I'm posting this ref dump with comparisons just to fun. Sunstone is Starlight's brother so I kinda wanted him to look more similar to her (at least in his sandwing form). His alter ego also got a slight redesign. Also I thought that Halcyon (design credit goes to the lovely @snaill-dragon of course) deserved a better ref, since the last one was a bit confusing.

concept: a non-winged tiny jealous of fairies or perhaps a fairy that was for some reason born without wings makes themself a pair of mechanical wings. a la icarus or maybe more like a jetpack.

“Don’t get any ideas, sunshine - you ain’t allowed anywhere near me until you brush ya damn teeth, y’hear me?” “Heh…”

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic of Daroach and Dark Meta Knight having a snack break and learning about certain food preferences. Transcript below the cut. END ID.)

Hey, did you guys know that Daroach canonically hates tomatoes? And DMK barely has any flavor text pertaining to him whatsoever? That means it’s my city now, hehe.

(Also heckin’ around with colored text bubbles. I think it looks neat - what do y'all think?)

UPDATE 03/01/24: Changed DMK's cape from gray to dark red.

Started 02/03/24, finished 02/05/24. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 02/05/24.

Transcript:

Panel 1

*DR (left) and DMK (right) sitting side by side on a simple platform facing the viewer, brown paper bags at their sides, a few bits of food on their faces; DR sits with a half-slice of watermelon in both paws, a bite taken out of it, dripping pink juice; DMK - wearing his cape instead of his wings, his mask taken off and set to the side - sits leaning back on one hand and holding a tomato in the other, a bite taken out of it, dripping red-orange juice*

DR: (looking over at DMK, brow cocked) Is that- Dark, are you just eatin’ a raw tomato?

DMK: (mouth full, glancing at DR in disinterest) Mhm, what about it?

Panel 2

*DMK casually tosses the tomato into the air, leaning back and opening his mouth wide to catch it, one incisor prominent; DR grimaces in painfully clear disgust, his ears drooping, and scoots away from him (text popping up beside him reading “cringe”)*

Panel 3

*DMK turned to grin smugly at DR while wiping tomato juice from his mouth, staining the back of his glove; DR continues to lean away from him, giving him a rather deadpan glare, moving the melon slice to one paw and pointing a claw at him with the other*

DR: Ya lucky you’re so attractive, ya friggin’ trash fire.

pop quiz, do you guys know what happens if you accidentally mix a species of flightless-but-winged fruit flies in with your culture of flightless-and-wingless fruit flies? and then they cross-breed with each other?

just take a guess.

Hey Al are you doing ok?

Alastor: *in the room with Husk, who’s unconscious* I heard. He’s pregnant. I knew but I didn’t stop him. I don’t know why I let him be reckless. Perhaps in a way I was also in denial of his condition. *looks over at the bandages* Bel said his wings may grow back eventually but it’ll take some time. But they might never return. Things like that are tricky with sinner bodies.

As per tradition: Submas dragon designs !

Say hi to Wyrmgo and Dergmet. I know it’s kinda dumb names, but since I like the ring of it, it kinda stuck ^^’

So yeah, finally got them done. Surprisingly, finding a fitting and harmonious color schemes for them was the hardest part, especially since I wanted to add some color accents to their black and white schemes.

The colors are not perfect, but I’m still proud of it, especially their overall design and shapes. I hope you like them as well!

More versions under the cut for higher res. if you like looking at details like me ! :

I would like to make an apology to all the Vaggie was an angel theorists. I had so much doubt in my heart because really? just because of how she looks? please.

I was wrong I was so wrong and every single one of you were so right O_O

I need to update the dailywec icon ,,,

simple character cards for everybody on my account right now

[the-skooma-den]

So in the original story when syke was in her late 20s I had it so she specifically had never had a pet herself. Her brother has pets shes helped with and there mayve been a family pet at some point but she specifically has never had one. When I changed it to her being in her late 30s that just didn't feel right because she does really like animals, BUT I don't think pre base game she would go out of her way to get one because she was mentally not doing very well

So my solution is basically a stray cat adopts her. At first it's just on their property so no one minds cause it eats vermin, then it turns into "well,,,theres not many rats now because he's a good hunter. I'll pick up cat food on my way home"

And eventually its "well,,,its cold at night. Maybe I'll let him inside by the fire"

And so on and so forth until this giant, old, scarred up, mess of a tomcat is unambiguously hers and it follows her around and sleeps in her bed and she loves him very much

Except because of how they met and how long it took her to admit it was her cat, he only answers to "Cat", so that ends up just being his name

Apteros Hermes

I wonder how many things gods could remember in their long lives, and is it hubris to convince myself that dear Hermes, in his rush everlong, would remember the day he took off those beating wings? In my last moments, I thought my mind froze on a still frame, but he told me that was all there is to it—to me. And so he took my hand with a warmth far more comforting than the sum of the four lived-in walls I would leave behind. How cold I must have felt, to hesitate from moving away from his grip that held me close before I fell even further; my feet never did know what it felt like to stand steady. He had a boyish smile that betrayed golden eyes carved to unchanging perfection.

"We have time before I need to take you to the river. Say, how about you show me around?" upon his words, the faintest sliver of sunlight made it through heavy curtains. I gazed past my body, to the floor up to the ceiling and across the walls. A marathon's worth of wasted effort to me, and he did not even need to breathe to follow.

"I may not look like much, and so does this room, but I felt like Atlas as each sunrise hanged me by the throat and each sunset sank me like an anchor. And now, all I want is to see the same sun that never again dared to hold me."

There was nothing quick about how his face tried to match how his heart must have felt. Or perhaps he finally bore witness to his own celerity, left behind as waves ebb and flow. He tried and tried, yet not even mercurial Hermes could fathom words for me.

I asked him then, a favor. To walk with me, beyond all there was, away from my nothing, to a life I thought was worth living. A wiser god may have cursed me then, an even wiser one would punish me for calling Hermes anything but wise. Yet, the Fates have a sense of humor, to allow me respite.

To Hermes everrunning, I do not know if my memory serves me well, but if my word holds true, let it be known that these are truer yet: thank you. For all the world's truths, perhaps I committed a grave deceit in letting you walk with me in steps far too slow for anyone else. But I know such a sin could not hold me down when I remember those golden eyes breaking free from their static cage, and how your lips quivered in forgotten excitement. To me, we finally saw the world for the first time.
