So sorry but I didn’t have time to work on this drawing or any others today :((

So take a very sloppy and kinda meh

DAY 31: HALLOWEEN

It’s the kotlc gang in costumes!

Linh is Fred, biana is daphne, Sophie is Velma, Dex is shaggy, and iggy is scooby!

Cringetober and keeptober, plus any one week prompt lists I did, were all so fun, even if I got a little stressed.

Eventually, I’ll do a big post with all the artwork I did, maybe even finish the unfinished ones + add any ideas I couldn’t finish.

Happy Halloween!!

Keeptober 2023 #30 — You As An Elf

@keeptober

The elf lives in a secluded tower on a hill, near enough to the seaside that the waves can be easily heard. 

   She potters about the tower with slow steps, murmuring to herself in old tongues that she has managed to coax her ability into speaking despite them being dead. Sometimes Ancients come to her to request a copy of some old thing they wish to have written down. At other times it’s a mathematician at her door, with some formulae for a clever little security illusion. She helps out with the light.

keeptober day 12

I didnt forget about the other days, nope!

@keeptober day 12, 2023

Topic: Intelligent species

Title:

Form of creation: Writing

Atlantis was beautiful.

Estra walked on the glimmering streets, seeing the beautiful towers and so much more.

Yes, Atlantis was an island, and yes, there was ocean everywhere, but it was worth all the queasiness she felt inside.

As she walked on the streets, she stopped by the unity fountain.

the unity fountain

A statue of a human and an elf, both worlds combined.

And yet, Estra couldn't help but feel a bit of envy creep in. The elves were beautiful, powerful, practically immortal, they had skills, and most of all, special abilities.

Estra stared at the shimmering reflection of the water.

"I wish I looked like them" she though, seeing her imperfect skin and green eyes.

Elves had blue eyes, and she had tried some elixers to change the color of her eyes, and decided to drink another. She popped open the vial, and drank it.

She walked back to her apartment. Why she chose to live in a place with water everywhere she didn't know.

"Hey." Said an elf, with dark skin and bright blue eyes.

"Hi." Estra said, not willing to stop and chat.

"Did you hear about the ploy to hide ourselves from humans? I heard they were starting a war." The elf said

Hide elves from humans? Estra thought. "how?" she asked

"No Idea. But we'll see." He said, before dissapearing.

Estra decided to go home and sleep. That boy didn't know what he was on about.

But what Estra didn't know, was that while she slept, an announcement woke everyone else up. It told them to evacuate Atlantis.

The first thing Estra felt was the shaking. and then the water. She got out of bed and into the plaza, confused.

And then she realised.

Atlantis is sinling. ATLANTIS IS SINKING

She couldn't think. Couldn't react. The last thing Estra saw was the water splashing her face.

And then everything went dark.

And she thought "The elves deserve to die"

As she drowned to death.

Right at the bottom of the ocean.

PHYSICS DO NOT MATTER SHE DROWNED I DONT KNOW IF SHE WOULD GET CRUSEHD THIS IS THE ELVES SHUIDHAKSUHC

Thanks for reading <3

Keeptober 2023 #29 — Plot Twist

@keeptober

I have to get out. I have to get out. I have to get. Out. 

   That’s all Sophie can think of. 

   The block that Elysian has placed on her is heavy, so heavy, worse than her short time wearing her ability. It’s a weight pressing down on her, a cage enveloping her, a gag smothering her. She feels it on all the others — even Gisela. 

   She has to get them all out. 

   So she strains and strains and strains. Remembers that she does not want to become the same splatter of elf-blood that Vespera has become. Thinks of Amy and Grady and Edaline and Alden and Della. Remembers that all of them need to go home. 

   The block, which has been cracking under the force of her mind, shatters at last. And with it shatters another lock, buried so deep within her that it can only be found by those that set it there. 

   All the others suddenly start to breathe again. 

   And Sophie’s hands come alive with a jet of flame. 

   It pours from her, and she feels so relieved that she doesn’t even wonder why it’s there. Marella seems to join her after a moment, though she looks very confused. The heat rises and rises and rises and rises and—

   The glass shatters. 

   They all take hands, and Sophie runs with them into and out of the Void. 

   It is only when they are back in Havenfield, panting and confused and still a bit scared, that she registers that the flames are still at her fingers. 

   And her hands have no burns on them.

Keeptober Day 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities

I've been wanting to redraw the graphic novel cover ever since it was released, so I knew right away that I'd draw it for this prompt! (Also I will take any excuse to draw Sophie & Fitz 😂)
