Fun Fact I Messed Up With Marking My Other Drawing As A Revenge So I Went Back At The End Of Artfight

first off: big thanks to @stormbreaker101 (are you seeing a pattern lol) to helping me out with drawing. i’m trying to get used to realism again and my lord is it annoying. esp afros. like. oml.

second off:

“… and despite sickness and madness, which now maybe he was falling prone to, they survived the war and the initial heartbreak and had had their happy ending, if only for a few decades that seemed all too quick and distant now.”

- Zafaría, The After-life on ao3.

ever since i read circe, i’ve developed a liking for the soft stories that simply talk about life. no major action, constant dialogue, no push for more, more, more. this is one of those gentle stories.

i always found the idea that cyrus as a kid was more than friendly, and especially fond with animals. after all, a big core of mythology is the creatures involved. and AAAA I SHOULD’VE DRAWN THEM WITH DRAGONS??

bonus: a doodle. drake children.

(yes i forgot part of cyrus’ robe)

i went back and did zllynnk an actual drawing, this one of mara. this one contributed to the revenge chain :D

also i didn't notice that their instagram was lowkey dead so here's just their artfight: https://artfight.net/~zllynnk

michael here! he belongs to https://www.instagram.com/zllynnk/

to copypaste what i said in the artfight description:

"hi. so. funny story. i'll get to the revenge in a couple of hours i swear. but i'm in vc and i'm streaming my art to some friends, right? well. we're scrolling through your chars list for chars i should draw for my attack and we saw michael and i clicked on him and i was held under metaphorical gunpoint to draw him so uncharacteristically michael that it came back full circle. he might give up easily but he's pretty damn reliable. he gets stressed hard but he's a damn logical thinker. he's friendly but not the most outgoing, so. like. what if he threw out a fighting stance. he isn't going to throw hands just threaten people. anyways. i'll be back with a proper drawing fhdgh"

ryūjin here belongs to https://www.instagram.com/general.buttercup/! i called for night prowler or winged type chars in the discord but they gave me a blue guy that glows and i couldn't pass up the opportunity

can you tell i'm art starved now that art fight's over and i'm still doing arts? character's from https://toyhou.se/22941817.tbn <- right there

my second ever artfight attack, and my first ever polish.

sofie belongs to @ solisthesun (find them on https://www.instagram.com/solisthesun/)

surprise! human painting. bet you'd never expected it. this is heath, and he belongs to https://toyhou.se/porrygens.

by the way, did you know that heath's hair is more like a membrane than actual human hair? it's "one solid piece and kind of rubbery", to quote porrygens. thank god my rendering does not do hair that well.

thought you saw enough of him? of course not. this isn't going under the main xerxas post because it's not apart of the main revenge chain, but this guy. he's taken over my mind. you're about to see just how much

this is jupiter! she belongs to https://www.instagram.com/soap_can/ and while this isn't a polish drawing or anything that's super eventful, i am a huuge fan of the way this turned out. so on tumblr it goes :)

this is my chance to break out of my social anxiety and post normally

my queue has ended. i am now stuck in art purgatory. see you guys in 3 years
