NOX au by submashell

Dp x Dc prompt #4

After discovering weird energy readings coming from the Pit located underneath Gotham, Batman decides to check it out.

Arriving at the scene with Robin, the first thing they notice is not any escaped Arkham rogue or Assassin from the League like they had been expecting.

No, instead, next to the pit sits a random exhausted-looking guy. Next to him are studying materials which he seems to be working on, and he’s also holding a straw that’s dipped straight into the Pit, occasionally taking a sip.

thank u for 800 followers but also what the fuck

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

You are literally one of the only reasons I'm still partially in the WH fandom /pos

Announcement for all who follow me for the TS!

With the Sanders Sides giant merman au wrapped up, I'm taking a bow and leaving the Sanders Sides fandom "officially". I've barely been making anything with it the past year and a half anyway and I'm shocked if there's anyone still following me for it!

But I still think I'd make a post about it to be fair to anyone who does!

Thank you for the interest and love that my aus recieved. I'm grateful to the fandom. It made me want to be creative again after losing the will to be after years of depression. Thank you.

Be fantastic! ✨

FE OC Week Day 2 - Relationships!

tried to write (most of) these up in a similar style to the 'closely associated characters' entries feh does for 'meet some of the heroes'. thank you for reading if you take the time to do so!

[day 1 introductions here]

Closely Associated Characters for Leigh, Askr's Summoner

Gunter: One of the first heroes summoned to Askr by Leigh. Has been known to share his strategic expertise with them ever since his arrival (when he's not training or on the battlefield). Their relationship gets a bit complicated when Leigh realizes they hold a certain fondness for him, along with learning other secrets. Enjoying a nice pot of tea has become their favourite way of spending time together over the years.

(I've written more fics/drabbles/snippets for these two than I can count, feel free to browse my feh works if you'd like to learn more!)

Leanne + Petra: Close friends of Leigh whose beginnings go back to Leanne and Petra requesting the summoner's aid in providing language learning materials. Their regular gatherings started out as study sessions where they would work towards being more confident in using their less proficient languages. This has grown into a cozy friendship over the years where they continue to learn from one another.

Niime: Leigh's magic instructor after they decide to study the arts following the events in Niðavellir. Her sarcasm keeps Leigh on their toes while practising. After ascertaining the summoner's commitment to magic, Niime is even willing to teach them about dark magic, as well as share with them her growing research on dragons.

Flora: After clearing up the initial misunderstanding between them, Flora becomes one of Leigh's good friends, and eventually they come to be each other's best friend (both during the events of feh and afterwards when Leigh gets to retire from their role as summoner). They both see a lot of themself in the other, and often remind each other to take a step away from whatever's going on in their heads so they can breathe for a moment. During winter, they love going skating together.

(okay time now for the sillier relationships)

Felicia: Do not let them in the kitchen together or they will char the place to ash while simultaneously concocting the worst poison in Zenith.

Ilyana: Kindred spirits (in snacking; taurus energy for the both of them).

Jakob: Mutual "I despise you" relationship between two stubborn people who refuse to budge an inch. They are constantly butting heads for petty reasons and will never pass up an opportunity to take a jab at the other. Sometimes it goes too far. Sometimes there's tears. They'll never learn.

We need more AUs where Headspafe turns into a danger for Sunny rather than a comfort place :3

After ALL this time... I finally have it!

Please may I welcome you to the OFFICIAL full design for Polly/Jarvis!

This is the most fun I've had doing a digital piece since making Lars! You have no idea how happy I am with this!!!

Some closeups of my favourite parts, there's so many 'cause they're all SO GOOD

They're definitely the most elaborate Spirit design, and for the Octopod itself that's very very fitting!

I might make a simplified version that mostly affects the coral/whisp because that would be the most difficult part to recreate exactly...

I can't stop looking at him. This is the absolute best I'm ever gonna draw this incredible entity :)

"I shouldn't be the one crying ... this is much worse for you after all. I just...I just miss you in a way."

"No...no please. I'm sorry. I should have taken your needs into account too. I'm so sorry..."

mm? adjusting to a new living situation must be hard if your partner is still scared of shrinking around you

Made some Hunter x Hunter Pokemon teams cause I gotta do that whenever I get into a new thing. Some of these are based on vibes and some are based on their abilities.

Couple of notes on Kurapika: I did him last but if I didn't, then I would've done all these on the modern card maker because the old one hasn't been updated with the gen 9 dlc. My choices for him are actually the Bloodmoon Ursaluna specifically, and Pecharunt cause of Toxic Chain

kny x earth to echo au. my most self indulgent piece yet

Thinking about how the official White Fang uniform is red, white, and black, but Yang is the one to help Blake end racism 🙃🙃🙃

God imagine how traumatized she’d be from seeing someone be murdered in front of her. She’s already so emotionally vulnerable right now and it doesn’t help that the others are “comforting” her by saying how they’re in the right. This is sure to stir up paranoia for her

I’d imagine that this would turn into nightmares which would then turn into many sleepless nights. Many would think that the long hours of her job are making her tired but the people close to her, like Drayden, would know that she’s acting paranoid everyday and getting less and less sleep from nightmares, not her job. On maybe the 4th or 5th night of restless sleep Drayden finally convinces Iris to tell him what’s happening. What’s scaring her so much that she can’t go a full night without waking both of them up with her nightmares. And she’s just clinging to him and trying not to cry when she tells him what she saw, what happened, what they said, and who did it

She’s scared that they’ll do something to her if she tells anyone. That they’ll hurt her or even go as far as to kill her for telling others what they’ve been doing. But she’s tired, scared, and feeling like something is constantly watching her. So she lost the mental battle in her head and told him everything. But…she’s in Unova, away from all the other champions who terrify her. She’s safe from harm and far, far away from them. There’s no way they could know what she’s told him

Oh how wrong she was

Now imagine how defeated she’d feel when she comes home the very next day from work, thinking she’s safe now that Drayden has reported it. But when she walks inside their house she sees him on the floor, not moving. With some of the champions waiting around for her to show up. And now Diantha is standing in front of her, speaking to her like a disappointment mother. Telling her that she has no reason to be crying, because if you step out of line then there is always going to be consequences

Omfs cnsmcnmxnx

God the irony of Diantha being the one to say there's gonna be consequences while probably being the only champion who hasn't faced any consequences from her actions just makes me so fucking insane ncmdhxmd

But also yknow just jcmxndm Dia acting all motherly to Iris tho, crouching down to her level and hugging her, telling her that they had to do what they really had to do, they can't let anyone interfere with them. You should know better. And she's there, cupping her face, wiping away her tears, telling her to calm down, to stop crying, there's no use crying over someone who couldn't even defend himself while being called the Spartan Mayor of Opelucid. But Iris was still sobbing, Drayden was family, her only family, and even tho it's not by blood, she still loves him. And suddenly... Suddenly he's gone. His body unmoving as the other Champions approach her and Diantha.

Dia just pulls her close to her, going on how it'll all be fine, perhaps it was even Drayden that's holding her back on becoming a true Champion, but Diantha kept that thought within her for the meantime, if you want a child to believe you, tell them the things they want to hear.

And soon, Iris could feel Lance next to them, his arms around them too, pulling them close to him, and he's there telling Iris that she shouldn't worry too, that they're her family now too, and they were just looking out for her.

God Iris was just so so tired man, she's so fucking tired, she's physically and mentally drained, and she just melted in their touch, finally caving in, letting them comfort her. And god as twisted as it was, she somewhat felt a bit safe under their embrace.

But also imagine how the people of Opelucid and the Unova League would react tho ncmxnx like, that's their mayor, a gym leader too, and suddenly he's dead and Iris is mourning and the other champions are there to help her and such. But like, imagine if that'd stir up some rumours tho, especially given Lance and Leon's images towards the public now, that maybe they actually killed Drayden. Imagine a few people of Opelucid pulling Iris away from the champions a bit and telling them what they thought what happened, but Iris already knew, and if she had to be honest she doesn't wanna see anyone else dying, so she tells them that "no, grandpa was just.. struggling with health issues for a while now.. he was always so stubborn he didn't wanna go to the hospital.. maybe that's just it.."

And ofc, they believed her, no use insisting their theories and rumours are right, especially to the actual granddaughter of the person they're talking about, who they know is still mourning over the loss of her grandfather. So instead, they nodded and told her if there's anything they can do to help her and the rest of the League, she could just ask for their help.

But like, imagine Iris being so bitter abt that tho. Now they try to help her? It only took Drayden's death for them to help her? For them to see her as an actual person and not just some kid who kept insisting she's mature enough to be a champion? It actually made her laugh a bit, a pitiful chuckle really, and she drags herself back home, back where all the champions are waiting for her.
