How would you describe the face shapes and facial features of The Lunar Chronicles girls? (Since you draw them so beautifully, I wanna know how you figured out what features to give them based off the info the books give us. Plus I began to imagine cinder's face looking exactly like your art).

Also what undertones do you give them (you don't gotta be specific, just list whether they're cool or warm). oh! You can info-dump if you want. I find it really helpful.

Yayyy thanks for the compliments and for asking this, I love talking about why I draw faces the way I do!! :D

Ok so first off here's an explanation of my general book character design process which I will base these descriptions on. For TLC specifically the canon descriptions are based not only on the books, but also this guide from MM's website.

CINDER

The starting canon point was ambiguously mixed (but definitely Asian), tan, brown upturned eyes, mousy brown hair in a ponytail, tall, all angles, boyish build and clothes. I HC her as specifically Cambodian (based on her family names and general description), so I based her features on it. She is characterized as brave and decisive ina protagonist way, so I gave her an oval face shape because ovals are serious and constant, and thick eyebrows to intensify her expressions. She sees herself as unfeminine, so I gave her thin lips and short, brown eyelashes. She is always messy and unkempt because of her work, so I gave her an uneven, shaggy haircut to match (inspired by Link LoZ for absolutely no reason). But she is also an awkward nerd, which I integrated through her big, goofy ears. I give her a warm undertone to match her eyes and offset her desaturated hair.

SCARLET

The starting canon point was white skin, curly ginger hair, super freckled, very feminine build, full lips, farmer girl vibes. Her color scheme is very low contrast with hair, eyebrows and eyes that are all within the same value range, because at one point she is described as soft curve shaped as opposed to Cinder's sharp angles, and I wanted to bring out that softness not only in shapes but colors too. She is also brave and decisive, but in a mean old lady way, so I gave her a long, pointy face to match it. I should def give her more defined curls than I usually do. I don't often color her so I thinkkkk I mostly give her a cool undertone, but it's inconsistent.

CRESS

The starting canon point was super pale white skin, nose freckles, heart shaped face, extremely messy wavy honey blond hair, sky blue eyes, super tiny. Everything about her is supposed to scream "pure sweet innocent little baby who never did anything wrong in her life" (even if it isn't the exact truth), and her face is based on a girl I saw at school when I was a teen. Her eyebrows and eye shape are anime inspired because I was an anime fan and so was MM. I give her a cold undertone.

WINTER

The starting canon point was very dark skin, Black, three scars on her right cheek, and a ton of other descriptions because she is the most beautiful girl in the galaxy and the epitome of soft, gentle, princessy femininity. We're talking full lips, gently curving features, insane eyelashes, etc. Her scars should realistically be darker, but the description of them resembling tears and their symbolism of Winter choosing to stick out like a sore thumb stuck so far into my brain that I simply gotta make use of artistic license in this case. I went for 3C type hair and its shape fits the cloud-like dreamy vibe she embodies while keeping to the glossy corkscrew description. Her eyes and lips are her mother's, and thus bear resemblance to Levana's. I give her a warm undertone.

IKO

The starting canon point was light brown skin, golden eyes, button nose, blue braids with golden accessories, and capitalist-made beauty. She is fun, fashionable, and flirty, so her color palette is braver and more expressive than the other girls'. Her beauty is noticeable, but man-made as a product instead of Winter's natural appeal. Her undertone is sometimes cold and sometimes warm because it makes the various color combos easier to execute, and also she is an android so I bet it is possible to do it anyway.

Hope this was interesting~

I absolutely love these designs and the kooky stinky (/very affectionate) art style its WONDERFUL. Dogteeth looks like an actual dog w his head shape and his flopped ear and the way his claws dont seem to retract (?), n Carrionstar looks like a vulture w her markings n coloration…. just wanted to say that i admire how detailed you can make it even w how simplistic it looks <3

HEHEHEHE OMG yesss theyre stinky so smelly im glad you get it :3c THANK YOU IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY DRAWING STYLE i iiiii yes i usually like to draw more simple designs or whatever but try to make them expressive etc idk i just draw like this (real) IM GLAD YOU ENJOY IT !!!!!! YAYYY ❤️❤️❤️

ALSO WOOYES i based Carrionstar's markings and what not on vultures slightly : ) AND .

Dogteeth is actually a dog! It's true. Yep hi everyone she's a dog!! it's true. stinky. i WILL elaborate WHY shes here but the fact she's a dog is not a spoiler. dogy. heheh so happy u noticed how her claws dont retract.. and her bigass mouth

thank you so much for the comments < 3

YAYYY this is literally like...my favroite poem. the way she describes her grandparent's relationship their dedication to each other the warmth of their love ??? the fear of the world ending and never having a chance to live a llife of love facing a doomed world head on??? the strength of it all to carry on past the end of the wolrd to keep them safe forever ??? plus the WORDs agh i love love love this poem its so good i ve read it a million times

Thank you so much!!! 💕 ✨

"I heard you screaming murder." - Barbatos/MC

content warning: suggestive at the end :3c

Barbatos is nothing if not extremely observant. Always watching, studying even the most minute actions of those around him so that he may better serve, better plan, better understand. You are no exception to this, though he has often mused about what an interesting subject you are – the human who pushed past any fears one could possibly have and made a home of the Devildom, tamed seven of the most powerful demons in the realm, and whose charms were even working on one as reserved as himself. 

He has somewhat of a mental dossier on you now – what makes you smile, what makes you upset, how your face changes to show intrigue or to show deep thought. 

But his favorite information to make use of? 

What makes your heart skip, your words falter, your whole countenance a flustered display. 

You are currently visiting the Demon Lord’s Castle, having asked to make use of the archives as you try to research a rather complex task given to you by Solomon. He is currently preparing tea, making a note to thank the sorcerer for providing an excellent reason to spend time with you (and smiling to himself at the thought of his pact-mate’s lip twitching just so in response – a sign of mild annoyance). 

As Barbatos approaches the archive door to ask if you’d please take a break and join him, he hears a soft thud and a string of curses falling from your lips. With a chuckle, he enters and gives you an inquisitive look. 

“Are you alright, MC?”

“Oh! Y-yes, I’m fine.” Clearing your throat, you turn to face the ever-impeccable demon with a hint of embarrassment on your features. “I just, uh, got a bit frustrated and dropped a couple things.” 

“Well, I’m glad that’s all. I heard you screaming murder and was worried for a moment.” His words convey concern, but his tone and the slight smirk that tugs his lips tell another story. The obvious exaggeration has the intended effect. 

“I-I was not screaming!” You huff, shooting him a look before moving to replace a book back on the shelf. It’s a bit out of your reach, but before you can place a foot on the nearby stool, a yelp leaves you as the demon’s tail wraps around your torso and lifts you to the required height. 

“B-Barbatos! Give me a bit of a warning next time!” You squirm for a moment in his grasp before giving him a teasing look. “Or did you really just want to hear me scream?” 

Perhaps you were simply hoping to fluster him as he often did to you, but playing such a game with this demon was dangerous. He simply gave you a sly smile before suddenly pulling you near flush against him as his tail slightly squeezed you in its grasp. 

“Hm, possibly – but there are much better ways for me to achieve such a goal, no?” He murmurs against your ear, and to his satisfaction he feels the warmth radiating off of your skin, hears the way your heart is racing. “Perhaps you’ll have to stay the night to find out.”
