hitman joel x businessman (? not sure about this one but its what ive got) xb where joel was originally hired to kill xb but then xb kept wiggling his way out of every single attempt. and then joel's contract expires but he still keeps trying to kill xb because he wants to finish the job and he has a reputation to uphold here! who's going to hire a hitman who comically fails in every attempt to kill this one guy? and then he tries to befriend xb in disguise to figure out this guy's weaknesses. (xb knows the whole time but is extremely paranoid anyways and kinda wants to see where joel's going with this).
(featuring grian and the rest of the magic mountain gang as joel's hitman friends who bully him mercilessly, keralis as. well i feel like you can't write xb without a keralis. and hypno as xb's necromancer friend who raises him from the dead the few times joel actually Does manage to poison him or whatever)
Messing with sketches for the very non-serious bad batch pterosaur AU:
I’m mostly just messing with colorations for now. I think I like the general shape of the spec pterosaur for Wrecker, but I don’t love the pattern I’ve got so far; Tech, Echo, and Hunter are headed in the general direction I want, but I want to do a bunch more passes on them; and Crosshair’s nnnooooooooot anywhere close yet. I like Omega, though.
I’m honestly still a bit undecided on the species for Hunter and Crosshair, actually, because a cryodrakon should be even a little smaller than I’ve got it (buuuut then again, that doesn’t really matter—I like. I have to make Crosshair a cryodrakon. It’s perfect.) And I do like the idea of Hunter being kind of pocket-sized compared to the others, but I think I’ve got him too big for the species I picked. Thalassodromeus was not that much taller than a human, meaning he should be quite a bit smaller than I’ve got him compared to the others. Then again, pocket-sized Hunter is fun.
Also:
I’ve decided they all just make funny pterosaur noises. For comedy reasons.
I wonder how Ralsei would react to the Human of the Prophecy, the only person for MILES who can seal the Dark Fountains, being a tiny baby who doesn't know how to speak and can barely walk
first and last creation of sornieth’s eleven deities. really the only thing the eleven could agree on. tasked to be watchers over the third age’s fledgling life, because the eleven wanted to be warlords instead.
or; Whoops, look at all these other fandragons I also threw into my lore
also lore-wise there's more employers than just these six by the way. these are just the relevant ones
I spent all of yesterday basically bullying Lazarus drawing some alts to this post and I'm not sure how I feel about the shading but ah well, that's art!
I like how the tape came out tbh~
IDs under the cut
Three red toned Grey scale illustrations of the same bound, disheveled vampire, implied to be slouched against a wall with the text "Look what dog got dragged in?" Above him. His arms are pulled behind his back and there is duct tape around his chest and legs, keeping his legs from extending, and he's missing a shoe. The first image has tape covering the vampire's mouth. The second image has a metal muzzle instead of tape, and the third uses a metal gag that forces his mouth open, showing off fangs. His hair is long and messy, falling around his face and shoulders and obscuring most of his face besides his mouth, and most has come loose from his messy bun. His clothing is equally messy and has old blood staining it.
