Another drawing for the Jack and the beanstalk script I’m doing as a bit of practice.
This is of Prince Raven’s bedroom, in a scene soon after Jack meets her.
This is the section of the script where Jack is older (idk probably 16/18-22 years of age but seriously I have no idea how old he is…. Or any of these characters for that matter.)
He admires a tapestry with a depiction of his adoptive mom. Currently named Aelia
Ravens room is a mess of things she has collected over her years. And her fascination with giants.
It has been a long time since I have done a drawing of a cluttered messy space and a highly detailed background. I stopped making them sometime in my early high school years… I have no idea why! This was so fun.
If you are thinking of redesigning your play space and are wanting bricks but don't want to deal with the cost and hassle, Might I recommend these faux brick wall panels from Home Depot. They are like $45 for 4'x8' panel, look pretty decent and are easy to install.
The bad kids are an incredibly healthy and supportive friend group BUT OH MY GOD THEY SUCK AT COMMUNICATING!
Half of their problems would be solved if they talked to each other.
Fabian would GLADLY pay for Adaine's components and for Riz's tuition if they asked. He would even get his papa to change his trust fund conditions to include them. Or he would declare Riz and Adaine his nemesis.
They would figure out the reason for Fig's misfortune in a week max. They would march into hell, probably accompanied by both Gorthalax and Sandra Lynn, and demand to break whatever deal she made with whichever demon involved.
If Fabian even suggested he was lonely, the bad kids would organise sleepovers every night. He would circle between the Thistlesprings, the Gukgaks and the Mordred Manor. Lydia would pack him his own lunch.
Fig would immediately start promoting Cassandra's religion on all social media, and get her to thousand followers in a week. The rest of the bad kids would join without hesitation.
If Riz would finally admit the HUGE stress he is under, everyone, even Fig, would stop piling all the work on him and happily write their 10 page essays. They would convince him to see Jawbone, and enjoy his last years in high school. They would band together to find the rogue teacher within a day. They would make sure that Riz's resume is the most impressive CV that the universities have ever received.
They would all gather together to come up with music for Fig and Gorgug's new album. Fabian would choreograph their music videos, Adaine would come up with rhymes, Riz would bring a list of all their adventures, including motifs and connections made, to give her inspiration, Kristen would suggest to make parodies of classic camp songs from her old church.
Adaine would contact Aelwyn immediately to get dirt on Porter, to blackmail him. Gorgug would get permission for his MCAT exams by the end of the week.
And if she would stay on the phone a little longer and admitted how much she is struggling, Aelwyn would immediately return home along with her cats. Then she would drag her sister to Jawbone's door, and force her to give him the components list.
The problem is that even after all those years, after all those adventures, even after the forest of the nightmare king, they still each think of themselves as the weak link. As the person in the group that isn't allowed, doesnt deserve to take space, ask for help. Because they should be able to handle it on their own. Isn't that what adulthood is like?
They would abandon anything and everything to help someone else, as long as that person isn't themselves. As long as they dont have to show their amazing, incredible, powerful, and oh so compassionate friends how weak and imperfect they are in comparison.
What's the difference between a rogue and bard? Presentation!
If you like this sort of stuff, please go check out the full video on my YouTube! It took me forever to make and I nearly cried about 4 times during the editing/posting process!
And as always, huge thanks to my Patrons for making this stuff possible!
Inspired by the dragon love today and me prepping a few misc mini shrines on my new bookshelves, here's some Spyro themes. My collection of him feels so small sometimes but I just love it and eventually I'll include one of my dream statues. The potion lamp, blizzcon faerie dragons and hamtaro figures have been one of the most long-standing things I've wanted in my room someday. I'm accomplishing my dream room to the fullest lately. The lamp is goin on the fantasy shelf once it's setup though 💜🐉🔮
A friend of mine had this idea, and I’d love to see it in an urban fantasy: magic is real and it stays secret because it looks like bad CGI. The fakest thing ever.
People who witness magic in person can always have their minds clouded, as they have been for most of human history, but all this newfangled technology has to be handled a different way. A video camera records exactly what it sees.
So, what it sees is … something that looks laughably fake. For any time period. The various secret magicians of the world make a point to keep their spells up to date with the current mundane trends — some of them even have running contests for who can make the most fake-looking spell.
I imagine they have a great time doing it. I sure would.
