Lark in a dress but it’s a liiiiiittle suggestive, full and details (where the lace is actually visible) under the cut!

There’s also an exercise in depravity to the tune of 6,683 words I wrote to pair with the art, read it right here on Ao3 >:}

Today is Dungeons & Daddies’s 5th Anniversary!

I haven’t been listening for nearly that long but the podcast and all its characters means a lot to me. Happy Anniversary!!!

Throwing the cropped sections under the cut because there’s a lot of stuff going on and I know Tumblr likes to throw half the pixel quality out the window. And also so I can ramble a bit about this piece!!!

This piece has been months in the making, possibly an entire year. And by that I mean I’ve had a sketch of the comp scribbled on my whiteboard for ages because I wanted to save this specifically for 5th anni art. Now onto design stuff!

(First off a random thought: I really love how the garlic knot came out, I kind of want it as an enamel pin.)

I knew I wanted to make this a stained glass piece since the beginning, but I was also going to add flowers at one point but quickly dropped the idea. It felt like too much and I also didn’t want to fuss over flower language assignments for everyone. I was also going to add Doodler tentacles, but also dropped that idea pretty early. Kind of on accident, right at the end, I figured out how to make it even more stained glass-like but taking a duplicated lineart underneath the regular layer and turning the brightness all the way down, then setting it to overlay and adding a guassian blur. It’s very subtle but it adds that tiny bit of depth that makes it look more real. As for shading on the lineart/gold, I tried adding more highlight on the characters who died but once I evened everything out it wasn’t as noticeable anymore so I’m throwing that thought here so the attempt at least known lol.

The order of characters only changed a little bit from my original comp, I flipped the Wilsons and the Oaks so the rainbow could work. As for the anchors, specifically in season 2, I lined them up to the teens since the season 1 anchors lined up with each dad:

Tony —> Scary: his death was the beginning of Scary’s betrayal arc and also Willy killed him.

Guitar Pick —> Taylor: it’s not really aligned with Taylor at all, but the anchor was with Glenn so I put it next to his blunt.

Scroll —> Normal: was only because it was the last left to give him, but there’s the whole scene of him and Hermie in the Green Room so it still works!

Garlic Knot —> Link: one of two that he broke, but the more significant of the two with him telling Grant he never wants to see him again.

Small notes on the season 1 anchors: I put the layer of mold in the overnight oats but you can’t really tell with the overlay. And to make the supper bowl more interesting I added the fantasy sodas mix they dumped into it. The lure of actually drawn before so I just traced my own art lol.

As for the other smaller triangles, it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to put there. I didn’t even think of adding the vehicles until two days ago but I’m so glad I did. I don’t really have my own take on the mascot version of the Doodler (yet?) so I borrowed the design from one of the stickers in their merch shop. Teeny was terrifying as just a front facing head so I made him cute again.

In the outer circles, I put what I felt was the most significant quotes for each family. I really wanted to use “It’s okay to be angry, it’s not okay to be cruel” but it was just a little too long.

That’s all I can think of! If you read all the way through, thank you for indulging me in my excitement to gush over this piece.

If you think about it, Nicky canonically being St. Nicholas, it means he was never around on Christmas for Taylor either.

Day 1: Campfire / Concert

Colored an earlier nark doodle to make it fit the concert prompt! Idk the idea was sorta a band au, wherein Lark is the lead singer (Songbird) and Nicky plays the drums!! Enjoy!

"Oh I love the Kiddads!"

Literally the Kiddads:

Boss kicks's subordinate

Love wolf (formerly) dad (Probably)

Apocalypse catalyst by day, homewrecker by night

Terry.

*looks at smudged writing on hand* Kicky Froster

[icy-book]

So, I kinda want to organise a terrick (terry/nicky) fandom week at some point next year, but I have no idea if anyone would actually do it, so:

Please reblog so this can actually find people!

Narkmas Day 5: Party

The Kiddads have lame-ass house parties where everyone’s a lightweight and passed out by 9:30 and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I am not immune to ship weeks on tumblr dot com

[mikeystrawberry]

might a humble scavenger like myself request scary meeting a trad goth and losing her mind?

you ever just go through your stepdad’s old photo albums and realize he wasn’t always such a dork?

This is partially inspired by Mack but I couldn’t not make this Terry Jr. because goth teen TJ is so dear to me. And then there’s his line about Nicky being his best friend in 2-45 so I made it a photo of them together.
