Hey guys! Just a heads up- this blog isn’t going to revive anytime soon because I’m getting drafted to the army tomorrow.

Old art VS New art

4 months difference Never stop that art grind 💪 even if it feels like you will never get anywhere with the current skill you have, there is always progress. At this inspirational message, I wave goodbye to skyblr for a while.My draft to the army came faster than I thought, and already tomorrow I’m leaving to start a new chapter in my life, away from home and the things I knew of. Am I scared? Yes. Am I excited? Yes. But for now, I will have to step away from tumblr and drawing, as I will be away from home, and I have no idea when I will be back and if I’ll even have the energy to draw anything, because I am the first generation in my family to go to the army, so no one can really give me an answer. I will have to see for myself.So for now, it’s a goodbye. Not for forever, thankfully, but for at least a month until I get on my feet in the new place and situation. Hope you have fun while I’m inactive! :D

You know what I'll just reblog this with the close ups :D

sorry for the weird ask, but which Elders feel the most like parental figures to You, Samekh?

Samekh: ... Mekh: It's a... Sah: Complicated question... Samekh: Perhaps, the right answer would be Tsadi or Teth, as we've spent the majority of our childhoods with them, but...

Mekh: That wouldn't be very precise. Sah: Because in a way, all elders are like parental figures to us. Mekh: Each one of them took care of us at some point when we were still starlights. Sah: some took care of us more time, like Tsadi. But we can't deny that each of them had an impact on our lives and the way we are. Besides, can we really say who is more and who is less... When none of them is our true mo- Mekh: For the second question... Our relationships now are... well...

Mekh: Let's just say, we tolerate each other. Sah: We... all of us... used to be very close. Like one big family. But.. as time went on things changed. WE changed. Mekh: And like continents over time, we all drifted apart. Sah: It's not the same anymore. . . .

Mekh: ... Sometimes I wonder... would she even recognize us if she saw what we became?

(Storyteller's notes: Tumblr will probably eat the quality in these ones. If you wish to view the big pictures up close, click on them, then right-click on them, then choose "open image in a new tab". you should be able to zoom in after that. If you still have trouble, do tell me, And I'll upload the cut version where everything is visible)

hi guys! I opened commissions for the first time! I would really love to get the purple tea set table, so if anyone wants a fully lined, colored, shaded and rendered art for an in game item, you can hit me up in the dms!

*Bites and growls and rattles the bars of my cage* As much as I hate giving money to TGC, I just can't pass this IAP. It's TOO good. Man, I wish they had put as much effort into the base game as they did with the IAP. But yea, basically. If you are interested, hit me up in the dms! Once we settle the order, I will send you the friendship code immediately to not waste time. Then I will start working on your commission. I will send you constant snapshots of the progress, and you will have to gift me the tea set once I reach the basic color stage of the drawing, to make sure that it won't be too late to get the table once I finish.

Can I give the twins a drawing? :3 (sorry if it is not well written :'v)

Sah: A drawing? Sure thing! We love getting gifts! And Valley was known for its arts, both physical and spiritual, so we naturally enjoy seeing our followe- no, wait, that is not accurate anymore... we love to see our admirers' work! You can put it on the table, we will look at it after we finish preparing food! (Storyteller's note: I decided to start answering the less serious asks with traditional art because I don't have much time to draw at home, so drawing on paper during class is the only option! Please, do tell me if you are okay with that :"3)

Hello! I am a mere messenger. My friend, quite a energetic sky kid asks; “WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO HOT” .. Um, apologies. Alternatively.. hair care routine?

Mekh: to answer your friend's question - well, you see, that is because we are, quite literally, stars given mind and form, and stars tend to have very high temperatures! That is why we are so hot! Sah: oh please, you know what they actually meant!

Mekh: yes, and another thing I know is that I don't want to be late for the meeting because you couldn't get in the shower on time. Sah: alright, alright, I'm going!

Sah: if we are talking about the second question... my hair care routine is pretty complicated. I start off with the basics of washing my hair with a regular shampoo, but it's only the start - as I have to go through 6 bottles of different hair lotions, then rinse it in conditioner, and top it off with a hair mask. Only after I go through all of this process, I dry my hair, making sure I use a special head for my drier.

Sah: now, you might be asking "oh, the greatest and prettiest elder of the Valley, why all that hustle? Your beauty and splendid are big enough even without all that long process" and while I agree that I am the most attractive star in the skies, I lack the ability that you sky kids have: the ability to shape your hair however you like simply by learning how light reflects from a certain haircut. In order to maintain my classic sharp look, I have to use a shit tone of hair gel. And anyone who uses it frequently can tell that it damages the hair a lot. So the super long routine I do every day is for the purpose of keeping my hair alive. Is it a hustle? Yes. But in order to get something, you need to give something

Sah: luckily, I have a special line of hair care products that are perfectly fitted to keep your hair looking lively and sparkly. It costs 120 candles, but if you use my promo code "SAHISTHEBESTELDER" you can get it for 119.99 only! Be quick, as the sale ends soo- Mekh: Sah, if you are finished, stop trying to scam moths out of their candles and get out! I have to shower too, you know??? Sah: okay, okay! By the bird, can't have any time to myself in this coliseum...

Mekh: unlike my look-centered brother, I don't waste so much time on such silly things as hair. I simply make sure to wash it every two to three days, carefully dry it while brushing it to give it its volume and fixate it using hair spray. And that's it!

Dream (part 2) (part 1)

Mekh: Noon, get up. It's morni- 7 am. I know you are staying at the coliseum today but there is still plenty of work

Sah: ... Mekh: ...

Mekh: HEY! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP, BEFORE I EAT ALL YOUR CRAB ROLLS, LOSER

Sah: *sounds of chaos Mekh: *sigh* why do I have to do this to this day... he is like a 5 year old...

Sah: DON'T YOU DARE!!! THEY ARE MINE!!! Mekh: Good morning to you too.

sorry guys, but it seems I won't be updating this blog for a while. Your dear storyteller caught the rona™ (love living in an anti-vax household) and even the simple task of getting from bed and walking to my computer feels as if I'm dying. I will try to continue drawing once I feel better if I won't be dead by that time

Working on a plot comic rn, and a pretty long one, so it's going to take a while. Since we finished the prologue, we are getting heavier into the story, and I want to start chapter 1 with a story-heavy post. Here is a little spoiler:

who is the twins mother/parent :0? how exactly does birth work!!

*Upon hearing this question the twins froze, ad great distress and even fear took over their expressions. With every second the atmosphere became darker, and you swear you could feel like something, or someone, was watching. The two stuttered, trying to find the words

Mekh: I... our... mom...? *Sah, despite looking more terrified than Mekh, still was more talkative Sah: Oh... our... well... she-

*Before Sah could properly answer, Mekh quickly smashed their metal hand against their brother's mouth to silence him, and with a maniac look, as if something overtaken them, quickly answered with a fake laugh Mekh: mom? What mom? You must have mistaken something. We didn't- we don't have a mom. We are one star split into 2, just like the legend goes, you know, haha... *The shadows became thicker, and for some reason, you found yourself struggling to breathe, the twins seem to have trouble with that too. However, suddenly, the darkness disappeared. And while the atmosphere of uneasiness persisted, at least the bone chilling feeling of being watched disappeared as quickly as it appeared

Daleth: Sah? Mekh? Is everything all right? I came in to remind you that we have a meeting tomorrow, so you two will go sleep early. But I couldn't not notice the darkness that concentrated at the coliseum. Are you two alright? *The old man's gentle voice and caring aura seemed to snap the elders out of panic and clear out the rest of the darkness. The twins quickly looked at him, both sighing in relief.

Mekh: no no, everything is completely okay, haha! Especially with you here. You came just in time! I think this little punk here wants an answer to a question you are an expert in! *Mekh quickly pushed Daleth into the center, as if trying to change the subject Daleth: W-wow there, missy, careful! My back is more fragile than it used to be!

Daleth: So, a question for me, huh? Well, I would be more than happy to share my knowledge with you, my child. Quiet an interesting and a bit complicated one, may I say, but I shall do my best to explain it so you understand it at best...

Daleth: As most of you probably know, the mortal birth is quite a complicated process - two mortals sire a child together, and the person with the womb carries the baby for 9 months in their belly, until the baby's body is fully formed. At that point, the person carrying the child goes through labor, which ends up in the parent pushing out their newborn baby out of their body. However, that does not how it works for elders... or, well, more correctly: it doesn't work that way for STARS. The stars, unlike the mortals, are sexless beings - they do not have any reproductive organs, therefore, can not sire a child physically, the way the mortals do it.

Daleth: Because the Stars are lacking the reproductive system (just like many other systems), we rely on our CORES. The cores are a whole other topic, however, in short, they are the center of our beings - they are our soul and body, our conscious, and the source of our power. Your flying kind also has cores! Though it looks different from ours, as yours are in a shape of a candle and have a different purpose. But I'm getting a bit off track here. The cores of Stars are the thing that allows us to reproduce. When a Star wishes to become a parent, ko has two main ways of doing so: either by "star collapsing", in which the Star will "fuse" kavs core with a core of another Star, or by "virgin birth", in which the star will receive a blessing from the mighty bird of light herself. In both cases, it results in the same thing: a little twinkle is sired in the center of the core, to the happiness of the future parent.

Daleth: The Star will then carry the twinkle in kavs core (that they most of the time hide in a special chest cavity, just like you hide your candle) for an uncertain time, as each twinkle takes its own time to develop. At the end of the process, when the twinkle is ready, it breaks out of the center of the core, by penetrating the walls of the membrane that formed around it. It's a very complicated and painful process, almost as hard as the mortal birth. If everything goes successfully, the stretched-out membrane will shrivel and return to the original size of the center of the core. When the twinkle is out, it will take some time to gather strength and light. And if everything is okay - it will form a body from special light fluid it was covered in when it was inside kavs parent core, called "dvash". In the end, the Star will finally be able to hug kavs newborn starlight. I am lucky to be a birth helper, as I got to witness this magical process quite often throughout my life. My last time was with the twins when their mo-

*Suddenly, the twins interrupted the old man yet again, standing in front of him Sah: Oh, won't you look at that! The candles at our shrine almost run out! This is certainly interesting, but I am afraid we will have to say good night to you! Mekh: yes, it was nice to see you, but we have to go now. I can feel the fire on the candles dimming, and it's a signal our time is up. But we certainly will be happy to see you tomorrow! Goodnight! Daleth: But... but the child of light can easily replace the candles in the shrines- Sah: Sure thing, grandpa! Now let's get you to bed. *The two quickly pushed the old man away, as your vision faded to white. You found yourself back at the dark temple, with the candles burned down.

I feel bad about your past, how about i give you guys a big hug!

*The twins seem content with the hug, although hesitant at first* Sah: Wow! You guys are really warm, you know that? No wonder your kind enjoys hugging so much! Mekh: indeed. Thank you, kid. It isn't much but at least it's something...

Mekh: okay Sah, put the little punk down Sah: Nu.
