I played a PS4 a few months back. (It was my roommate’s; he got FF7R, and kindly let me play. Nostalgia!) My cat was transfixed by the controller’s glow… seemed fitting for Halloween.
Happy Halloween, everyone! (Above: line art by Meg, colors by Paul)
Updates here have been super sparse lately, but I’m working on some fun stuff I hope to share soon. And it warms my heart to see people are still enjoying the tutorials! Hope everyone’s doing well,
You grinned at yourself in the mirror, fingers reaching up to poke at your fake teeth.
It was halloween night and the castle was buzzing, every vampire getting ready for their annual party.
Usually, it was just the guards and lower coven members that attended but it was your first halloween at the castle and, as the mate of all three kings, you insisted that they tagged along.
Now, you were locked in your room, trying to perfect your costume. You had locked Aro, Caius, and Marcus out, not allowing them to see your costume until you were ready.
It had been a challenge to hide this costume from Aro, the king trying his best to understand your reasons for not touching him over the past few weeks.
But you didn’t want to ruin the surprise.
A knock sounded on your door, this one loud and impatient and you rolled your eyes. “I’m coming! Give me two minutes!”
“You said that ten minutes ago!” Caius yelled back. “We’re going to be late!”
You rolled your eyes at the king again. He was always the dramatic one, even more so than Aro. “You can’t be late to your own party, Caius.”
You grabbed your black cape from your bed and clasped it around your neck before popping the collar of your white shirt. Your fingers were splattered from the bloody makeup you bought earlier that week, the blood dried on your chin and the top of your shirt.
You fixed the fake fangs one more time and ruffled your hair again, trying to make yourself look as ridiculous as people claimed vampires were.
Finally satisfied, you marched to the door and wrenched it open, smiling viciously as you greeted your mates.
Marcus was the first to react, laughing loudly at the sight of you. Aro chuckled beside him, his fingers reaching out to poke at your makeup. “This is what you’ve been hiding?”
“I look fantastic, don’t I?” You grinned, eyes catching on Caius’ face. His face was scrunched in a complicated expression, causing you to laugh happily.
“Wha-? Are you supposed to be a vampire?” He sputtered, his eyes taking in the fake blood and dracula-like costume.
“Was it not obvious?” You frowned playfully, glancing down at your outfit. “I thought I looked just like you three.”
Caius scoffed. “You look ridiculous.”
“Good, that means I nailed it.” You patted his cheek, smiling again when he flinched back.
“Now come on.” You said, gripping Marcus and Aro’s hands as you began to walk towards your destination. “Let’s go party.”
One of my fav paintings I’ve done so far! But it’s going to someone as a commission and I’m sad to see it go but Happy Halloween! Her fingers and head really said ==3
Alot of people have been asking what my little mascot character looks like! Well here she is! complete with costume for Halloween too!! Work in Progress!
I’ve been swamped with uni work between a huge dress make and my dissertation so this year is a bit of a quick one. Its inspired by the very old picture kid me did way back in 2006/07 so about 16 years ago.
I actually went out of my way to use very similar materials for this redraw - ballpoint pen, watercolour (only adding a little pencil so I could put a bit more depth in there). The new version feels like it belongs in a horror comic to me but maybe thats wishful thinking.
I’ll try to post again sometime soon - have a good spooky season :)
A day late and dollar short on this, but I couldn’t finish up Halloween without at least a FEW of my characters dressed up as one of their inspirations
Gretel and Solus as Wuya and Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown
These two were always my favorites from the show, and I shipped them so aggressively hard
