This a dark kingdom AU I made with my friend!
For those wondering Varian is saying something along the lines of: "Did you know? So many plants grow in Corona, they can be vegetarian!" In Siberian (Translation courtesy of google translate :D)
Basically the AU is that for whatever reason the Dark kingdom didn't fall and is a hidden kingdom no one knows about. The Brotherhoods job is to go out to the rest of the world just to see what's up. Once Fredrick uses it the brotherhoods main job is just to make sure the Moonstone doesn't throw a hissy fit and kill everyone.
Eugene is raised like a prince and Varian as a Brotherhood member. Eugene is very rambunctious and careless. Varian wants to start doing research on the annual "horizon lights" and is sure have something to do with the Sunflower but Edmund keeps refusing.
Then on the winter stolcice celebration Eugene manages to ruin it. In order to teach him some humility Edmund sends him on Varians research quest to Corona. Cue movie events.
All these sketches are pretty old except the rhino one. Clothing was mainly inspired by east Siberian clothing in the last one. The first few I completely forgot the reference o-o,

(4/10) Alive Ulla AU part 10
Hey, I skipped an important part...., this is how I imagined Ulla staying with Quirin
Yes, Ulla met Quirin , he keep his secret agent missions along the Brotherhood, and asked her to go home.
Donella would try to sell her products secretly around, there were two posible clients, typical insurrectionist group and a cult planning to rob the Moonstone
But Ulla would crack at her camp on whatever time to ask her for love and professional advise.
Donella would hide her real merchandise and let Ulla see the fake products, cutlery, and offer Ulla settler if needed if she they stayed on the Dark Kingdom
But please, bring groceries and keep a schedule, Donella don't like surprises on the back, Ulla agreed.
She keep trying to reach Quirin, convince him about getting his freedom from this militar life and reconnect with his family heritage.
He told her he is orphan, no family heritage, she told him he is Demanitus' offspring, he kind of got interested but not later resigned, asking to be leaved alone, he just would like to have a life as simple as possible, the Brotherhood is all he knows and all he needs, please respect his choices and his secrets.
She confess she is in love with him and she really doesn't want to leave him, no matter if he is not an alchemist like her or not interested in her interests, he is getting attached and falling in love , but he is also a men of compromises and secrets, so he let her chose, if she want to stay on his side, it has to be a secret.
She thought about it, and came to the conclusion she would keep the secret, so , she asked for time to go and tell her parents (plus Xavier) who were waiting for her outside the kingdom to not wait for her anymor.
Why shouldn't they? Because she will stay with Donella, she is really invested on a project, not lies, they wish her well, and her parents are trusting, they will scort Xavier to Corona and also ask her no to forget she is welcome home whenever she likes.
And if she will stay longer on whatever other foreigner kingdom, please spare Yuletide/Christmas to visit them at Pittsford , Ulf as well agreed to this, family shouldn't forget their love to each other.
She thanked them, but as well, they wouldn't go that simple, they would throw a little goodbye party as they did with Ulf and his friends at Nesdernia, tomorrow they would buy the supplies and next day they would celebrate.
Would Quirin attend? No, his existence is a secret, would Donella attend? Of course, she is the best friend, the reason Ulla is staying, would only her attend? Donella suggest Ulla to find some people in town so this doesn't become a pity party, Ulla find this as a joke and has no problem inviting the groceries sellers she befriended.
They get everything ready, have their little feast and say their goodbyes.
Time to go back to the camp, Ulla trying to befriend and help the brotherhood, Quirin being scolded by Hector and teased by Adira for not expulsing her.
Ulla is being actually helpful with the power of alchemy, even if she doesn't get details about the secret missions, she provides resourceful tools
Every time she goes back to Donella's place, she spills the beans with her BFF, supposing she is her confident and is not even involved on this things, she is glad Don looks interested instead of non believing.
Donella uses that information to offer better products to her clients to defeat the brotherhood, but that's not free, she is making a fortune, they think she is a higher mistress of divination and science.
These clients are getting poor soon, but they don't give up, they payed for the information, now they have to save enough money for buying the armory and weapons.
The insurrectionist and cults stepped back, finally the brotherhood is at peace, all the royals, and due to that, there is an important announcement, a baby is coming, the queen was hiding it, but she had been pregnant since 7 months ago, people pray to the accents kings and warriors for the health of the soon to be prince or princess.
Brotherhood missions are now around the castle, and they always endup having a night shift taking care of the queen, and Ulla is tagged along, due to her help before.
During those days, Ulla asked Quirin is he ever wanted to have a child, have a family or settle down, he says that's not up to him, he has a duty to do as agent of the government/royals, and that's for life as long as he is needed.
She ask if can he renounce, and he answers that would be treason, so no, this is his life as long as the royals find use in him, she answers that indeed, she is in love with him, but she-
Oups I have to go, thanks for reading 🏵️🌻🌻🌸🌸🌹🍁💞🌙🍒🧭☀️🪷🦋🌷🌷📚🌺🌴👒🪁🍉🍓🍎🍒🌐🎀🎁🎲🎨🖼️🎹🧶👾

After a few months of work, I finally got my art project done! It's for Halloween and Day of the Dead! I've always loved Dia de los Muertos and the skull make up that is done for it. I just had to draw my favorite characters in it. Below the cut is more info on their designs and why they have all this done!
I'll start with their designs. From reading more about Dia de los Muertos, colors have different meanings when it comes to the sugar skulls and make up used in this holiday. The biggest color I wanted to incorporate between the three of them was purple. Purple is the color of grief, pain, and more specifically losing a loved one. Purple candles are used and lit on the ofrendas (altars made to place pictures of loved ones that have passed on) to show the loss of a loved one. Each of them deserved to have purple because of the hard lives that each of them has lived.
I also tried to make their color palates match their personalities. Adira is more warm, bright, and vibrant. Hector is somber, dark, and off-putting. Quirin is a good middle ground as for the warm/coldness of the colors, but show cases his love of plants.
And now the reason why they are all painted up. My OC Amelia Renya from my Dark Kingdom Rising fic hails from French and Latino roots. In this world, her country celebrates a holiday very similar to Dia de los Muertos. I figure that around the holiday she was sad that she wouldn't be celebrating it and ends up telling the Brotherhood about it. Hector and Adira enthusiastically tell her they'd love to celebrate it with her and want to try out the face painting. Quirin wants to help her celebrate it as well.
This was such a fun project to do (albiet it was a little daunting and hard at times). I also did pics of Rapunzel and Moon Cassandra that I will be posting separately and soon after this!
Happy Spooky Season Everyone!
Happy Halloween!
And for those that celebrate it:
Feliz dia de los Muertos
