wahey oc print :^)!!
some context - but in Dec. 2014, I came up with these guys. So every December, I used to make anniversary illustrations. I stopped in 2019 due to university and lack of interest. But this past December marked the 10th anniversary so I really wanted to make another piece for the occasion <3
slapping ur oc into irl photos is fun
Background by Ludovic Migneault with FotoSketcher filter (and a bunch of painting over)

unintentionally created the same character concept for two separate stories I have (duel-wielding sword user + their wards with esoteric powers)
bonus:
please yap about enki’s sister I beg of you. she’s so cool and so are you
AW thank you!! 🫶
and thanks for letting me indulge in talking about these two!! here's how I see it:
I really like the idea that the ritual fight that was mentioned in Enki's intro wasn't the only time he had to face off against his sister. It was always like that for him and Ninmah. The priests that took them in saw their potential and wanted to know who the superior sibling was.
My headcanon is that not only was Enki physically weaker than her, but emotionally frail as well. That no matter what, he'd always be a close second to his "better" twin. Ninmah was exceptional and obedient. Enki was completely pathetic next to her.
I like to think when they were super young, they did care for each other. But under harsh, abusive conditions from the priests, it further drove a wedge between them. And Enki's frailty warped into his distinct bitterness as to no longer appear as weak - as to compete on the same level as Ninmah.
The ritual fight was an inevitability. A scheme to see who truly was strong enough to live. So when Ninmah spared Enki, it was sort of her way of communicating that she still cared about her brother. Even if they were pitted against one another, even if she seemed unfeeling and unbothered, she still loved him as much as a young (definitely traumatized) girl could in that situation.
So when Enki's given the choice to either accept her mercy or literally backstab her, both are completely plausible. Like yeah he also possibly still loves her. That's his sister and she was always there for him. But on the other hand, after years of cruel reprimanding, he finally had the perfect opportunity to prove his superiority.
Either way, it doesn't end happily at all. If Enki kills Ninmah and raises her as a ghoul, I'm going to assume she won't be completely herself. She's basically dead. The other route is also tragic. Enki accepts defeat and gets chucked into a well. And at the bottom, his resentment festers. Not only towards his whole diocese but also directed at Ninmah. Because if she did truly love him, why did she not rescue him? (In truth, she would've also been doubly punished, let's be real.)
Assuming they're both alive, I'm entirely convinced that they haven't spoken to each other in over a decade. Enki's probably got a LOT of indignation for his old order and, by extension, Ninmah. And Ninmah acknowledges that he's moved on. Maybe it's best they never see each other.
No wonder Enki is such a big hater. He was one of the few people born into this world with someone and yet he still ended up abandoned and alone. :,)
anywayzz that was very rambly and very sad. but did you know bc enki is green and ninmah’s red this means theyre mario and luigi coded
Hey hope this doesn't sound weird but you're literally one of my favorite F&H artists and when I saw that you liked my post I literally had to do a double take
You know those memes talking about "when a big artist I really look up to likes my art" well that's what it felt like you're my big talented artist in that situation 😭🩷
being called one of someone's fave funger artist is INSANE. thank you <3 <3
also yah the feeling is so real. i still get that - the majority of faces i draw look like :^) or :0 and crazy skilled artists will follow me back and,,, huh??
sorry for the absence - trying to recover/push past some burnout :,-0

ahh thank you!! those are things i'm pretty meticulous about so i'm happy you noticed ^^
Hey yall!! Just hit a pretty nice number of followers on here so I wanna say thank you all so much!! I read everyone's tags and comments and it brightens my day to see such warm reception on my work. Even for my low effort, shitposty stuff LMAO <3 <3
I do wanna set the expectation that my funger fixation won't last forever. But I'm aware a majority of yall are here because of that. I originally wanted this account to be where I posted sketches and process work - sorta as a way of demystifying art.
I'm not completely dropping off funger tho haha, I have stuff queued up for this month and the next. But I'm trying to focus on my goals and my portfolio. Other projects will likely be put aside for now.
Hope I didn't cause any alarm! I just don't wanna surprise anyone if the direction of this account goes in other places.
But yah! I do like posting here more than instagram or youtube or whatever so I'll still be sticking around! Again thanks for the support!!! <3
