After getting a few asks about the Marra when I posted that last Hilda comic with David x Louise getting photobombed by the Marra, the idea of Frida becoming one if she stuck with them came to mind. This is also kind of a follow up to that previous comic.
I'm working on a Frilda confession comic alongside the Mrs Wu comic, so expect that soon™
I, like many, would have loved to see more Marra , but I'm glad I at least got to age them up for their Cameo
I based their outfits off of 'The Craft' , the colors may not be as gothy but the spirit is there. I thought it was appropriate for witchy teen girls . Also you can blame me for Kelly not being there. I DID A FORGET IM SORRY.
Hilda The Series was soooooo funny for having the Marra. They literally were like ‘what if we write one of the most compelling magical creatures in our folk inspired world to be a commentary on growing pains and the insecurities of adolescence? What if we did that all the while raising questions and opportunities to expand this universe and the way magic works in it? And what if we put them in two (2) episodes and never mentioned them again?”
matching Hilda-themed icons for the season for me and my friend :]
i've been posting some hilda-fanart on other platforms for a bit now- but don't usually dare to post the more self-indulgent stuff... that's what this blog is for tho, right? :D
so yea- here's my friend depicted as a sort of more vampiric marra, and me as- well, a ghost! i tried to originally make myself as a troll- but it was really hard to get any human likeness to the character :'D (and the friend in question suggested a ghost instead) so- spooky ghost it is!
season's greetings, spooky season! >:]
Yes, you can, Almost three years ago I decided to pick up my stylist and drew Her, because I made one choice I spiraled up heel and began to improve more then I ever have. In life it might not seem big at first but one small choice can make you into someone you never thought could exist.
Leader Marra, Twin-tails, whatever you know her as, but for me her name is Hope and will always be Hope no matter what happens, this character means the world to me and has give me exactly what her namesake is. Hope, she’s been my driving reason for drawing and improving. I’ve meant so many amazing people because of her as well, such as Sadie who’s become one of my favorite people to talk to and just joke with at times.
So yeah just go with your gut sometimes and even if you think it looks bad at first that’s ok, just live in the moment and it’ll take you further then you could ever imagine
She’s my sweet gremlin child and if anyone tries to take her, you’ll see how well you fly
an idea by @pedanticat where the Marra still mess with David from time to time and them being there for a selfie of him and Louise while on a date was too funny not to draw.
(Didn't think to age up the Marra since their supernatural but also cause I'm lazy. Kelly's design is from littledigits who was an artist/assistant director for the show)
Hello again so on top of machines of war I had been working on a fanfic that involves the pigtailed marra being David’s long lost sister. So I drew this classic sibling scenario. Stealing each other’s clothes. I also want to thank @phopollo for giving me the idea
