I made a cookie run oc lol. This idea has been floating in my head for a while and i wanted to get it off my chest. I will probably draw him again, and maybe more cookies
His name is Mazagran cookie, and he is a former member of the coffee tribe in the dark cacao kingdom. Mazagran is a coffee drink with rum, espresso, and usually served with a lemon or mint on top.
Mazagran cookie knows coffee magic and uses it with his lemon zest spear to strike his enemies. His flames are hotter than espresso cookie’s, since he uses rum too.
He left the dark cacao kingdom as when the citadel gates closed, there were barely any watchers to fend of the snow monsters. He left to adventure and a lot of the coffee tribe was going to leave anyway, due to the harsh environments.
I also wanted to draw him in a ponytail with caramel arrow, but it spiraled into drawing all the dark cacaoians in a pony tail so.
Inspired by @im-back-with-pink and their yandere Pure Vanilla/Mc Cookie stories, I wrote a cute Halloween tale!
This involves my Witch OC Hazel and her cookie form of Hazelnut Cookie, the Ancient Heroes, and Red Velvet Cookie cause why not?
“Remember Hazel, keep watch over the shop while we’re gone!”
“Don’t mess with the kitchen too much! We made sure to take inventory!”
“Just stay in the basement dear. Maybe next year we’ll go to the king’s masquerade ball."
Hazel sighed, looking out the window as the trio left her alone on another Halloween night. It just wasn’t fair that they got to go out with the rest of the witches while she had to stay home since she wasn’t a full witch. All the other young people in the kingdom were going to the king’s masquerade ball while she was left alone on another Halloween stuck in the bakery.
She was getting too old for this.
"However, the mistresses don’t know about my cookie kingdom.” Hazel chuckled, going to the secret room in the basement. “I’ll just hang out with my cookie friends this holiday. I mean, what’s sweeter than cookies?”
Suddenly, a flash of light came from her small kingdom, making her pause her words. Orange lights came from the middle of the kingdom that surrounded her body and caused her to shrink downwards. Hazel screamed as she was sucked into the other world, feeling herself change in shape and form. Colorful lights overtook her eyes before poor Hazel passed out in shock.
“Oh my, did you do the spell right?”
“Are you saying that I did the spell wrong? I just followed the book!”
“We should probably wake her up soon.”
Hazel blinked as she felt herself being shook. To her surprise, she found herself staring right in the eyes of her beloved friend Red Velvet Cookie, who wore a grin on his face. She took his cake arm, but noticed that her hand was now a cookie stub! Gasping, she noticed her reflection in a nearby mirror, she was a cookie! Her hazel eyes were now chocolate drops, her brown hair was frosting, and she was a sweet gingerbread cookie!
Although, she was wearing a beautiful purple gown with a black scarf, cute purple shoes, and wearing a black tiara in her hair.
“Huh? What’s going on? Why am I a cookie?” Hazel asked, staring at a smiling Red Velvet. “Did you guys do something to me?”
“We noticed how sad you were about not being able to go to the ball. So we asked White Lily Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie to use their magic to shrink you to cookie size so that we can throw you a party.” Red Velvet said, rubbing the back of his neck. “Guess we should call you Hazelnut Cookie then.”
Hollyberry Cookie laughed, smacking her on the back. “Don’t feel too bad! This spell only lasts till midnight! We just wanted to spend some time with our beloved baker and throw her a party!”
Hazelnut Cookie started to tear up as her cookie friends surrounded her with smiles. “You guys….I don’t know what to say…”
“You could just say thank you.” White Lily said, then gasped as she got a hug. “That works too…”
Pure Vanilla and Dark Cacao glowered at the gentle cookie, pangs of jealously overcoming them. Red Velvet and Golden Cheese were about to go break them up before Hollyberry broke the two.
“Now Hazelnut, this is your Halloween party! What do you want to do?” Hollyberry asked, wanting the attention from Hazel.
“I’ve never done a party before nor have I ever been to a party before…” Hazelnut admitted sheepishly. “Although my friend says that people dance and eat treats at Halloween parties! We can dance and eat treats then!”
“Well then, my lady, shall you give me the honor of having your first dance?” Hollyberry held out her cookie stub.
Hazelnut giggled, taking her stub. “Lead the way Hollyberry!”
The music magically started as she and the ruby ruler took to the dance floor laughing. White Lily frowned as she walked back over to the group. The others gave her a look as well.
“I thought we would share a dance with her.” White Lily said, sitting down on her throne. “That Hollyberry is a slick one.”
“Indeed, I was going to offer her a treat that we would share.” Pure Vanilla sighed, staring down at the witch. “Though I’m glad the spell worked.”
“I would’ve preferred it to be permanent though.” Golden Cheese pointed out. “That way she won’t have to deal with those witches and stay here with us!”
“Nothing good like her should last forever.” Dark Cacao stared as Hollyberry dipped her downwards. “Let us just have a good Halloween and not worry about it.”
Red Velvet stood up. “You guys can stay here and mope. I will be taking the next dance. Unlike all of you…"He gave them a hard glare. "I was her first and only best friend.” He left, not without making the others mad.
White Lily whispered to herself, staring adoringly at Hazelnut as she was passed to Red Velvet. “One day….I’ll find a way to make you a full cookie. Then you’ll stay with me forever.”
Maaan….. I’m finally adding a few more pieces I’ve wanted to do for awhile..
Obviously Cookie Run is a more new favorite thing of mine but I always like doodling some of my old favorites….and these GC/PS2 era dungeon crawlers are my absolute favorites.
Linear from Evolution Worlds especially must have had a special kind of impact on my young mind at some point because I’ve always found myself thinking of her whole aesthetic and look. It’s something I’ve attempted to imitate in a number of my own characters. Mags constant support of her is something that always stuck with me too.
Toan from Dark Cloud was what I always thought of when I think of positive, ‘don’t let the world beat you down’ sorta go get em attitude in a honest protag. Dude watches his entire life get destroyed overnight and he just picks himself up and charges at the opportunity to fix it. I know its all for the sake of the game but still….in the context of the character he shows zero hesitation. Xiao just being the cliche cat girl sorta makes me grin now - still a fun trope.
And of course, my much more recent obsession with the Dark Cacao kingdom and its characters is….I don’t know if its aesthetic, drama, design, or a combination of all three but God….I’m glad I got a group picture out of all the current characters. Kinda glad I didn’t get to it until Crunchy Chip was a thing now too.
Special thanks to @little-noko for helping with the anatomy/sketch layer. The rest was all me this time!
Will be ordering these prints soon…can’t wait to see em.
