YOUR ART IS SO SO PRETTY!
and as someone who had a very long Monster High hyperfixation, i need to ask:
Who's your fav?
YOUR BLOG IS SO DELIGHTFUL! <333
thank you so much anon this means a lot 🥰 I’m happy you’re enjoying your stay at the ghost ward 🖤
I have a few favorites it’s hard to choose just one 😭 a lot of it depends on my horror induced brainrot
I think my number one favorite across all gens would have to be Frankie Stein! My second fave is Spectra of course and my third would have to be Twyla Boogey man!

Frankie was one of the two very first monster high dolls I got as a kid (they were the ghouls alive dolls)
When I hit 18 I finally read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and it completely changed my brain chemistry. I love that Frankie is living the life that could have drastically changed the creature’s outcome. They live in a family and go to a school where they are loved and accepted for who they are, scars and all. I hope they get to live a long happy life 🖤
I personally like the studious fashion that’s been leaning more emo lately.
Spectra V was the second ghoul I got on the same christmas I got Frankie so I always associated her with Jacob Marley from The Christmas Carol. I wanna create a scary chain shaking scene with her eventually (btw one of my all time favorite depiction of The Christmas Carol; besides the muppets version, is Mr.Magoo’s Christmas Carol)
I always loved ghost characters idk why I just found the idea of someone’s spirit still lingering long after they have died fascinating. I also love the darker look her first gen core outfit has. I blame her for my obsession with laced up boots and corsets. It’s fun to think about how she got chained up. I notice she has a lock and key theme on her other gen 1 dolls, I wonder if her sins and guilt involve secrets.
Twyla 🖤 my baby
Her purple bunny motif is adorable and I love that she plays table top rpgs. I like to think she plays a lot of the White Wolf rpgs.
I really wanna get into table top rpgs myself but I’m so socially inept lmao 😭
I’m autistic myself and seeing a character just out right say they are autistic is really refreshing. Not to sound corny but I teared up a little bit when I first saw the scene. I relate to her song too
“I've got stories of monsters that live in my head
People and places I'll never forget
The shadows are dancing, they creep up the walls
But that don't define me at all”
I like the raspy voice she has the first two gens but I think her new voice is cute!
I also have to mention third gen Abbey Bominable and Catty Nior. Specifically third gen! They’re my mom’s absolute favorites! Their monster qualities are more prominent while still being beautiful. She loves the new body molds for the ghouls. It’s really sweat to see wider variety of bodies types in a doll line 🖤

MYST LAGOON has a cover!
Last I posted about this little project, I went and completed 2 more pieces for Vagrant Verity Chronicles: MYST LAGOON. First and the more simple of the two was a simple tutorial pop-up that would guide the player to the basic combat controls.
Second, and more notable is right up top. The "cover" artwork that you'd see on the case and probably in loads more places if this were a real videogame. I really wanted to go for the feeling of mystery and adventure in this one as Doyen looks out across the lagoon into the mysterious castle of clouds (That's the Myst Lagoon!) there was a time where I was tempted to go for a more overcast dreariness or a sunset, but bright blue skies and seas just fit this "game" far better, and I think the cover artist for a game like this would take that into account when deciding on the elements to represent this adventure.
If you've not seen the first little post about Myst Lagoon and the other "screenshots" yet to be done, feel free to check that all out here. But, That's basically it for now until I finish some more illustrations and concepts, so again, stay tuned for next time!
