An underrated aspect of drawing 919 I forgot to mention in my last post: have you ever wondered why I have a tendency sometimes to draw the Wunsoc sweaters as somewhat large and baggy? I think it’s fun to imagine that they might grow into them, just as they’ll “grow into” their role in the Society :)

"this cannibal murder game has incest in it and that makes me uncomfortable" oh my oh no! we must fix this, we wouldn't want the horror game to freak you our or make you uncomfortable or anything!! that's not what horror is about!! like the cannibalism is fine but the incest? 🤢cant have such gross illegal things in this horror game!

I Lovewing Dovewing she’s amazing and her design makes me so happy even if it’s weird

-Albino and dilute calico chimera with slight point patterns tho she’s not a Siamese it’s just one of the Cloudtail genes that’s passed down

-Fire family folded ear with the other up like a wing, scars across them from the great battle and a ivy bracelet on their paw

-MASSIVE DOVE I love her. They get it from her mom’s (Whitewing) side same with the albino genes and golden fur, gray from her dad’s (Birchfall) side and especially their grandma Ferncloud

-Dove is a non-binary lesbian using she/they pronouns. Her wife is Goldenstar (Tigerheart) and they raise their kittens in a close knit loving family I love them a lot. Secret lesbian love to escape their harmful environments and find peace together <333

Name one scene, trope, or concept you'd really like to see in a hypothetical third game of KNACK.

Why not 3 for 3~?

Scene: I want a scene with Knack alone, contemplating his existence and purpose. We've gotten scenes of Knack on his own, even with perfect opportunities to have him think aloud to himself, but >:P nothing. I want him to think about himself, why he's doing the things he's doing, what he wants, what he's fighting for (in the context of the current narrative and overall trilogy as well). I just want more knacktent (Knack content)

Trope: I want Knack to have to team up with the enemy. I dunno if that trope has a snappy name or not lol. Either they need to get out of a mutually undesirable situation together, or it's a long form temporary truce. Knack fighting with goblins or else would be pretty fun to see and play through. Also he could use cool tech maybe~

Concept: okay this a just a real personal desire of mine but I really want to see some form of canonization for, don't know what to call them, the other Knack boys. Like Robo Knack and Player 2 blue Knack (I call him Knick :3c). I think it'd be pretty awesome if they could be implemented into the world in a organic way as well as have them be playable or something. I love Knack but I love having multiple playable characters too (even if they play the same). Hell I'd enjoy playing as Lucas too, hookshooting everywhere, maybe a stealth mission for him, a mech... I guess more playable characters is the concept hehe

[wundrousarts]

Not sure how it would work, but has anyone out there ever thought about a Juprafel Good Omens AU? (or, alternatively: an Ineffable Husbands Nevermoor AU?)

I said I'd do Heraldecember, and boy am I! At first I was a little uncertain about what to do and nervous over my lack of experience, but yesterday I started getting ideas, and once I started drawing them I couldn't stop! So uh here's the first four days' worth already, because I got carried away :'D

1: Delagol: Or, a chief enarched reversed invected vert with fawn dormant proper. Looking up bits of the names on etymonline gave me dell and a colloquial offshoot dingle, ("a deep dell or secluded hollow, usually wooded") and it put me in mind of a protected glade, with a fawn safely asleep. Perhaps this town started out in a forest, or has a culture of sanctuary.

2: Birkey: Argent, a bend tenne billetty sable. A canting (punning) design that looks like birch bark. The brown stripe represents the inner layer of bark that is revealed when you pull up the white.

3: Wyldecliff: Argent, per fesse wavy bleu celeste between three beach roses rose. I really love wild beach roses, which happily grow right along cliff faces overlooking the sea.

4: Michalenko: Azure, three estoile over goose close argent mantling gosling or. I looked up the archangel Michael, and a common trait across cultures is of him being a protector. There are a LOT of crests with Michael holding a shield and sword or stomping on dragon-satan, though, and I didn't much feel like drawing that. I went back to the idea of safety and warmth from day 1, and drew a goose protecting its gosling at night. (As a thematic plus, goose is a traditional food at British Michaelmas feasts! Though "Michalenko" suggests a more easterly origin to the family.)

This is a lot of fun so far, thank you for putting this together, @heraldecember!
