i love the OG art of morrigan aensland cause she was sexy but also looked unsettling and like Yeah
yes she is a succubus but succubi are still a kind of monster so i think their beauty should Look Weird and make you question what is hot a little bit
attractive in the way that runway models are technically attractive but often look a little offputting and alien

Just deleted the ask I was trying to respond to, but re: "skeptics always die in horror movies" - I have mixed feelings on that trope!
On the one hand I think it sets the tone and helps the audience suspend their disbelief - people are always complaining about horror movie characters being idiots, so this can be a way to be like "see? We DID consider rational explanations, and then someone immediately got murdered very supernaturally, so stop asking questions and accept the premise."
On the other hand, I think it definitely contributes to the idea that skeptics are close-minded killjoys who are too stubborn to accept reality, which is a very common and incredibly annoying mindset. Shane Madej did not spend the last eight years marching into haunted houses and loudly demanding that the demons inside kill him for me to still be hearing shit about how "if you don't take the supernatural seriously you will Attract Evil Energies And Die".

Also I may be treading covered ground but firecracker is AMAZING pick me representation. Those drugs ARE killing her she has an enlarged heart and it will pop supe or not. She’s done all that to win the affection of a perfect representation of conservative governed patriarchy personified in homelander and he even after ALL THAT still hates her. Even when you fit every conformity, beauty standard, blame all the other women for men’s bad actions those men STILL DONT WANT YOU. And it is metaphorically and literally KILLING HER.

when your tabletop system of choice says that everyone knows magic by default, you gotta get creative with how your otherwise completely nonmagical guy knows anything about casting spells

being so absorbed in obscure and weird history and happenings that i forget this isn't common knowledge. talking to my mom about the man who is speculated to have potentially been the TRUE first person on Mount Everest, George Mallory, and i just casually go "obviously you know that bodies on Mount Everest don't decay," and she just goes "..no, i don't, back up?"

Selene from Dragon's Dogma
Just wanted to draw Selene the Witch, my favorite character from Dragon's Dogma. I was already drawn to her design, but after getting to know her story I became attached to her. Kinda hope the upcoming sequel will have a witch like her in it as well

Once Howl bought himself a big flag of Wales for some purely national important holiday, so that his soul could be at ease that he did not forget his native important dates, because Wales does not love him, but he loves Wales
And he hung this flag somewhere in the Castle just for it to hang, seriously. He planned to take it down in a few days.
... But after the first visit, a very true rumor spread throughout Ingary that the horrible wizard Howl had defeated the dreadful dragon and hung its banner in his house as a trophy.
When these news reached the royal palace, wizeds Suliman laughed out of his mind.
