All the hieron pcs (i love them all, your honor)

imagine you're emmanuel from hieron friends at the table. you were a baker for a long time and then you went on a boat and when you went back home your home was invaded and colonized so you fled to a different city but didn't even really set down roots there before the city was eaten by the roiling nothingness at the base of the world so you fled again to this community kind of homesteading out of a defunct college and you've been living there for 8 years. and it SUCKS. you've been legitimately going hungry OFTEN for like eight years. and this guy shows up. this guy who showed up in your life right before both extremely major changes shows up. and both of the last times you saw him he was like, really interested in you! but also, crucially, both times he vanished and you thought you weren't going to see him again. the last time was really long and you were like super sure he was dead. but anyway this guy shows up and acts like nothing's changed and you really want to go along with it. your last boyfriend like froze to death or died of dysentery or something. but you bring up settling down together because that's where it seems like things are going and he agrees immediately! and then goes "i mean, as long as i can go away and disappear again" so you're fucking pissed at him. and like, the next day, this motherfucker comes back to your house with one of those 2005 calculator communicator thingys saying that he's leaving again but you can stay in contact with this. and when you call him out on his bullshit he points at the moon and goes "i'll be there so you can look up and it'll be like we're together <3" and i'm sorry the moon? THE MOON FROM THE FUCKING SKY???????

Lem King in Lingerie + A Mundane Situation for FatT Pinup Week! Different versions under the cut ;D

No Skirt + Opaque Skirt Versions!

my SUPER late secret samol for @tzeimi​ in which i got way too ambitious with some lemmanuel. i've wanted to draw that balcony scene in season 1 for a long time :)

process gif under the cut

apologies for the weird.... sizing on this. i didn't realize until the final image that my scanner had been cutting like half an inch off of everything 🙃

rough 3D model sketch in CLIP STUDIO PAINT. big grey boxes and grey lil dudes

BREAKING IT OUT OF THE DIGITAL... printed out the model and transferred it onto paper using carbon paper. had to do this lightly bc erasing the transfer is a bitch (i don't have a lightbox )

sketched details over the traced outline

inked using my dip pen (mostly JP nib, school nib, then mapping nib for cross-hatching)

coloured in with watercolour pencils. kinda started getting slapdash with it

brushed over the dry pencils with water and hoped to god everything blended OK

(not pictured) me fussing with the scanner for like half an hour because it insisted on cutting millimeters off the edges

✨the king of violins and awkward conversations✨

[image id: a thigh-up drawing of lem king against a burgundy background. he has a slightly surprised expression as if he’s turning to look who called for him. he’s wearing an ecru shirt with loose sleeves and an elegant golden vest with baroque-like brocade details and lots of pockets sewn into the panels. he also has intricate golden glasses and an abacus-like necklace. end id]

listened to the first two seasons of hieron (plus marielda) and doodled along to some of it. my life has been ruined and ive never been happier

ok yeah here’s the orcboys™️

i’ve never cared for the orc barbarian stereotype which resulted in my not caring about orcs in general… so thank u jack n crew for this sick fuckin concept!!! i love the vibrancy and diversity of character types that the new archives has brought in to the orc world. LOVE these beefy combat librarians <3

Jdq, you're perfect and I love you but your description of Lem King's alignment is evil. Lem is evil. That's okay! Good, even! But a man who has come to realize he will fight for his scraps is very much the same wavelength as destroy what you do not understand

Throndir: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy, but if you invite someone to your cabin in the woods, they're going to die.

Lem: Yes, it's called "connotation.”

Adaire: My personal favorite is butt dial vs booty call.

Ephrim: Mine is "forgive me, father, for I have sinned" vs "sorry, daddy, I've been naughty.”

Hadrian: Great news! Language is now cancelled!

lemferos. thinking so much about them lately

in honour of me finally deciding to join the upcoming secret samol and completing my application ~10 minutes before the deadline, here’s my submission i did for secret samol 2021
