Day 2 Enchanting

Cub was anxious. He and Scar had escaped the confines of their home territory, but he still could  feel eyes watching him. He tried not to let Scar notice, as he had searched for the origin of the feeling and found nothing. He proceeded with his plan to gear up, as their small swords were no match for a player when it was just the two of them. 

“Cub?” Scar was tormenting a pig, poking it with his sword but not enough to kill it, just watching it squeal and run away.

Cub put down his scrap of leather and focused on his companion. “What is it, Scar?” 

“Do you think that there's some Eldritch beast out there, waiting for us to make a mistake, so that it can pounce on us and drag us back to the mansion where we belong?”

Cub was a little lost for words. Scar had some off-the-wall ideas, but was pretty perceptive. “I don't not think that,” he hedged.

“Will you tell them to leave us alone already?” Scar sounded glum. 

“If I could I would, my man. We're just going to have to wait and see for now.” Cub went back to his task, still on the lookout for any opportunity to evade the mysterious eyes on them.

It was dark out, and they were traveling through a swamp. Their natural glow kept the frogs from attempting to eat them, as they looked like the unappetizing fireflies native to the area.

Scar was speeding ahead as fast as his wings could take him when he entered a clearing.

There on a log in an unnatural purple light with fireflies surrounding it sat the Eldritch creature. It had a dark cloak, but its wings were visible stretching out behind. Many purple glowing eyes were open staring straight at him. It was fascinating, no, captivating! Scar was enchanted immediately. It was the prettiest, and scariest, thing he had seen his whole life. 

“It's you.” He said, breaking the strange silence.

“What do you want from us?” Cub already had his sword drawn, ready to protect them from the danger this spellbinding creature posed to them.

Scar joined him, hoping they wouldn't have to fight the otherworldly being. He was shaking with fear.

I found the HC October prompts. I'm using this list from Twitter.

Day 1 Vex

Grian sat invisible among the dense foliage of the dark oak forest watching the hive of activity inside the woodland mansion. Some enterprising player was sneaking through the hallways taking out the axe wielding illagers.

An evoker had just summoned a hoard of vex to protect himself, but the player was quicker, taking down the magical man. The vex swarmed on the player, seeking revenge. Except not all of them did.

Grian continued to watch as two of the vex broke away from the fighting and ventured up and out of their mansion home. Intrigued, Grian followed.

“This is our chance, Scar. Before they notice.” One of the vex was coaxing the other into leaving.

“Wait up, Cub, I'm not as fast as you.” The one vex wasn't able to fly as fast, having one of his wings smaller than the other.

They made it to the edge of the dark forest, the sounds of battle horns and clashing swords long behind them. The two little vex sat on top of the tree right on the edge watching the sun fall below the horizon.

“How far do you think we’ll make it?”

“As far as we want Scar.” They shared a mischievous smile.

They seem interesting, much more so than the boring player. Grian decided that they were worth his time in watching.

The smiling friends confront the watchers...

I love this little sketch of mine, might color it sometime.

Grain's area

After some trouble, I have finished the first area of the campaign.

This is the general area, as per 3rd life events, the house is gone and there are craters everywhere (a bit non canon but it's funny with the red unactivated mines). The white square where the house used to be is a trap door to the tunnel dungeon.

The main gimmick is the next floor is determined by a d6 and has plenty of refrences to both the life series and evo (a friend suggested them), unfortunately my notes are on paper but here is the gist: First floor is a refrence to evo, with a watcher statue on 2 and a lump of stolen clay in the chest marked with 1. The second floor refrences last life with the skeleton of mumbo pst-betrayal and glowing exploding crystal. The third floor refrences double life, as it has a higher ceiling and stalagmites. The funkier numbers are the spawn points of bigb and ren, only ren's skeleton is agressive. The fourth floor is based on limited life, with refrences to the bad boys, bread bridge and the entire layer seems to be high up (like skynet). The fifth floor has a heart shaped stone in the lake and has a mini secret keeper with the warning to not disturb the cactus ring. The last floor holds the most important artifact, the enchanter. This holds the clues on how to defeat all the ghosts.

Small note: After the enchanter is picked up then Scar gets aggressive and tries to take the book in whatever way he can.

I have started to work on pearl's area, but don't really have much to share. The playtest begins this thursday and I'll see if I messed up or not.

Cryptic Griannnn

Translation of galactic:

HE WAS ONLY EVER MEANT TO WATCH

I was in a mood

Have Grain

ID by the one and only @aspirationatwork under the cut

[Image Description: a digital drawing of Grian in harsh, dark colors. He is wearing a red sweater, a grey shawl, and black fingerless gloves. Red and purple feathers sprout from his face. Grian grins wickedly, one hand held up to his face, making a circular gesture over his eye, and the other is holding a purple gem. The purple outline of an eye is seen on both of his hands. There is a glowing purple halo around his head. The background is black feathers with more eyes drawn onto them.]

Notes and drawing process below cut :D

I had a lot of fun drawing this! I got inspo from a moment in Grians most recent Hermitcraft video of the tour of the server when he was visiting Bdubs and couldnt pass up the ooprotunity (view clip here)

I had like a week where I couldn't work on it though after getting the sketch done bc I wasn't home and couldn't draw but I'm really proud of how it turned out!

Drawing Process:

I am realizing now that I apparently never took a screenshot of the flat color- oh well

I drew the Villain Grian design from my AU, Conflicting Lives! Meet Xelqua, the Wynnran villain known for his chaos and unpredictable movements!

I made two versions! One in sunset, and one in midnight! Midnight version below the cut! Also, yes I am aware I forgot the headpiece. I really did just forget it lol

Ok I know this isn’t where grian’s going with the whole rift thing, but consider:

Ruler of everything

The human form, 'watcher' form, and the true form of grian. Very much inspired by this post by @mwapollo. Not too sure about the last one since it doesn't look remotely like grian. I wanted to try fractals and what not to make it seem even weirder, but I dont have that much skill. Imagining Mumbo interacting with my take on grian's true watcher form makes me giggle.
