Why does Ren have 4 ears? Are they all real or is one set fake?
Hehe I’ve gotten this question a lot actually! They’re all real— I like to think hybridization isn’t always a clean balance of traits, so Ren just unfortunately ended up with two sets of ears— his Dog ears being much more receptive to sound, naturally— and sometimes when the extra intake of sound is too overwhelming, I imagine he wears earplugs in his human ears to help adjust :> it’s a bit weird, but idk! i like to make designs funky and nonconventional! I liked the idea that Ren had hearing struggles due to wonky hybridization and just kept the concept :>

I've decideeeed to do a "draw fast" experiment this week. Basically: given a sketch I already have on hand, I have to get to "finish" (new line art, flats, & shading) in under two hours - the closer to 1hr, the better.
The idea with this is that, like... trying to get a fast time will keep me from sitting and overthinking things, then fidgeting with it. I just gotta get stuff on the page. Don't know how, if at all, it'll help my art, but I think it'll be fun.
I figured my "three iteration" sketches I did last week were good ones to use, so have some Leo's for today. This one was at 1hr 32min.

But honestly you know what? For a god damn website that is so fucking obsessed with their white twink, I'm honestly so fucking happy to see some diversity up in the gay shipping space
Like people talk about how Ncuti is the first black doctor and how this is the first like fully explicitly MlM doctor even if every gay person has known that shit for years. But I honestly think it's important that it's the first Black Explicitly MLM doctor. Fandom shipping spaces can be so fucking racist so I do just like having some top notch interracial shipping here

Theory time!
I dove head first back into the Kingdom Hearts rabbit hole. And right now, I am convinced Sora is the next life of the Player character from KHUX.
(I am not sure if a post like this exists already but hear me out!)
So first of all: it is canon, that hearts can decide to be reborn. And we know, that the Player at least has a second life.
In the end They become Xehanorts caregiver and die on Destiny Islands of all places.
But that is not all. In one of the (to me) most exciting sequences of KH3, Sora is being saved by the fallen Keyblade wielders from KHUX on the Keyblade Graveyard.
Those "lights from the past" how Ventus puts it later, are lead by Ephemer.
As great and exciting as it is to see Ephemer again.. why is he there? He didn't fall in this war, nor did he become a dream eater (as far as we know). So how is it possible for Sora to have a connection to Ephemer, strong enough to give him a face and a voice in this vision?
But even though Ephemer didn't die that day, like the others that help Sora in this battle, he was still there in the end. Surrounded by a blinding white light, saving Player.
I just love this! Especially since Union Cross is a lot about how the mind might forget but the heart remembers. So Sora's heart reaching back several lifes, tracing the connection to the person who saved him in this exact same place before.. it would be beautiful.
Oh and something else I stumbled across yesterday.
Lauriam asks Player to keep his sister in their heart. But that promise has no point or consequences. The player never meets Strelitzia if I remember correctly.
But guess who finds her in a different reality 👀😄

Quail came in and stanced firmly before them. He was of solid build and exuded health and power, and his eyes were dark and penetrating. He had one feature that made him most remarkable, and most frightening. His head, which was large and round, was quite devoid of fur, as was much of his body. It was blue-pink, shiny, strange. It appeared smooth and unlined until any expression passed across it at which point a thousand tiny wrinkles formed and made a mole realize that there was something dead, something rotten, about the smooth skin.
Senior Brother Inquisitor Quail, from the Duncton Chronicles/The Book of Silence! He has one of the most repulsive character journeys in the entire series, but I wanted to draw him the way we first meet him, powerful and menacing.
