"you stole my bread, and you think purple is MID!? thats it- prepare for a bonking of biblical proportion!"
week 36! wasnt feeling too good this week, so i dug up an old sketch and finished it (artist finishes sketch?? impossible). i know its not the hollow knight art people prefer, but i hope itll suffice til next week. thank you for checking out my work, hope you have a wonderful week! <3
"welcome to my stage, little one. i am marissa, a songstress of some renown, though given the sorry state of this place, you may find it hard to believe. huge crowds once flocked to hear me sing, then something changed. the audience, once so enrapt, began to leave. i continued to sing, yet my voice fell silent upon their ears. perhaps youd care to listen to me sing? youll be the first in an age to hear it." -marissa week 35! a day late again, been rough lately, but i made it eventually! thought id draw marissa getting an audience to her song.. think its the least she deserves. im fairly proud of this piece- not my best, but i hope it at least improves your guys' days a little :3. anywhos, thank you for checking out my work! hope you guys have a wonderful week <3
"that silent knight rests from danger, on a ledge. what lies behind those empty eyes..? what greater purpose compels them to return here? their nail gleaming, with that singular purpose. for this, they left the safety of the wastes, to venture into the heart of hallownest. but for now, they rest."
week 34! a day late, because stress, and the freaking power went out again >:3, but i made it eventually! hope this piece makes up for it. im quite proud of how the lighting turned out. thank you for checking out my silly drawing, i hope youre having a wonderful weekend! much loves <3
week 33 "every time it rains, i try to make an effort to go for a walk- whether its cold, hot, windy, or pouring. the rain just makes the world feel more vibrant to me.. makes the air feel fresh, like im really breathing again. calms me, helps me relax. wish i had some people to walk with, but most people dont care for the rain. im sure ill find someone to walk with someday."
super late again, im sorry! power went out and my laptop died- had to drive to somewhere with power and internet, but my family does not take my art seriously, so am like 7 hours late today ;w;. wanted to try for another hollow knight drawing, but i wasnt confident without references, so i just drew a kise.. fluffier wings and beakier than usual. sorry to my hk fans. well, thank you to those who are here anyways- hope you have a wonderful weekend! <3
"together we hunt in paths overgrown with green. restless god of those who band together" week 32, late again! aghh, oh well.. was a long night. not my best work, but i hope you still enjoy it. hope you have a good weekend! <3
"doesnt this kingdom just abound with surprises? a building atop an acid lake. despite the sight, i cant help but feel... familiarity? something stirs in my mind, though i cant yet tell what.. though much of my memory is blank, this place, i recall." week 31! hope you dont mind, just establishing a little headcanon between monomon, quirrel, and uumuu :3. probably not my best work, but id say it was 5 hours well spent! i hope you all have a wonderful new year, thank you so much for the support! it means the world to me <3
"dance with me, my friend! the crowd awaits. show them you are worthy of a starring role!". anyone who treats me with respect, my respect they shall have! i see it common courtesy to treat everyone with respect, even our foes
week 30! im not super proud of this one.. just didnt turn out right, but i tried my best. hope you like it, and have a wonderful christmas! <3
"youd pursue the deeper truth? it isnt one the weak could bear. prove yourself ready to face it. ill not hold back. my needle is lethal and id feel no sadness in a weakling's demise." (proceeds to save them after they almost die) week 29! way late this week, but i wanted to make yall a nice one! hope you have a wonderful weekend <3
"sou had been wandering the frostburn tundra with their big sister for many years. she had taken care of them as far back as sou can remember- ever since their parents had 'gotten lost'. sou often wonders if theyll ever see them again.. kira is cagey about it, but she takes good care of sou, so they try not to bother her about it often.
the tundra is too cold to travel when the moon is out, so they can only travel during the day, when the cold of the moon is at it's weakest, and during the night, they huddle around a great fire for warmth. true thirian flame does not produce much heat, but its enough to keep a thirian alive in the tundra.. barely.
sou wonders why they dont live at one of the many villages they visit for supplies, but she tells them she doesnt think the tundra is a safe place to live, and she knows somewhere better- somewhere where water flows freely, and foilage grows as tall as buildings! sou dreams of seeing it someday, and cant wait to see it with their big sister"
thank you for checking out my work! this is week 28, i thought id return to some original content, because i wanted to do some writing ^^. hope you guys have a great week! much love <3
hay, just wanted to take a week out to thank you guys for the support- the kind words, the sharing, and the support have meant a lot to me these past few months. have helped me get through some difficult times. will be back to normal posts next week, just wanted to thank you guys, and i hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank you! ♡
"tragic, that for the hollow knight, even having such a dream prevents it's possibility. all they wanted was to impress their father, to be the one that seals that blinding light, but to want in the first place is to have already failed.. to already be tainted. this is the tragedy of the hollow knight"
week 26! half way through a year of weekly drawings- many thanks for all the support, means the world to me. hope you have a wonderful day! ♡
week 25, said id do some fanart, so here we are- was fairly hesitant, did not think id do very well because ive never drawn for this series before, but it cyme out a lot better than i was expecting! only took me three hours of drawing, too, but many more than that looking for references.
(i am definitely among those hoping these two can work things out- want a win for stolas, hes top tier adorable)
thank you for checking out my work! hope you have a wonderful day ♡
"come no closer, ghost. ive seen you, creeping through the undergrowth, stalking me. this old kingdom... a terrible thing awakens. i can smell it in the air... i know what you are. i know what youd try to do. i cant allow it." -hornet
week 24. im almost embarrassed to say, but this fight took me like 1.5 hours the first time- i didnt know there was a bench nearby, so i walked like half of greenpath 13 fricken times.. still tho, one of my favorite games, its awesome possum. anywayss, thanks for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful day! ♡
"macie had been wandering the woods for days, hopelessly lost, searching for the fire temple of myth. she had been an adventurer since her youth, and was eager to get back out there, now that her kids had grown up.. but shes gotten a little rusty, and her sight isnt what it used to be. she encountered a towering winged figure with a radiant staff, strolling through the woods, so she asked them if they knew where a fire temple might be- the figure seemed somewhat surprised to see her, but nodded, and said they could guide her there. the guide was silent for much of the time, but macie had an easy enough time holding a conversation all by herself- talking about her adventures, her hobbies, her family. the guide seemed to appreciate the conversation, content just to listen to macie talk. they walked all of the morning, but macie grew tired.. she wasnt out of shape by any means, but keeping up with someone twice your height is no easy feat. the guide offered to carry her the rest of the way, and macie agreed. they managed to get there before dusk, where macie thanked them for accompanying her, and asked if she would ever see them again. the guide nodded, and said 'someday, macie- maybe sooner than you think'. they patted her on the head, and continued down the path. macie waved farewells, and headed into the temple" -the historian
hey, week 23! im super late, but im very happy with how this week turned out! took me 8 hours, whew. i finally caught up on helluva boss, and it kind of inspired me to draw this- although i may be making some actual fanart as well, in the near future (and, maci might be a reoccurring character). hope youre having a lovely day! ♡
"even the reapers need comfort, now and then. ten thousand years comforting and guiding the dead to and from the planes- it takes a toll on you. for once, it is nice to just let someone else take care of you.. although not all have this luxury available to them. in this way, life and death are lucky. lucky to have each other in this unending task.
life and death are close. theyve worked together for many a millennia, though life, a short while longer. simple servants of greater powers, yet inconceivable forces of nature themselves.. though they dont see themselves this way- they just pursue their purpose, hand in hand, for as long as time requires. they have only each other.. but thats all they need"
week 22! finally managed to do something a little spookier, but it turned out cute somehow- ah well, im still happy with that. life is going okay, im doing lots of sketches, trying to socialize more- its tiring, but rewarding. hope youre having a lovely day! ♡
watched the amazing digital circus the other day, and i liked it- thought id ride the hype train and try my hand at drawing pomni and a little bit of caine- its quite a ways from my art style, but its good practice. surprisingly only took me about 2.5 hours, and somehow im still late lol
week 21, am feeling a bit better this week- taking care of myself, and am doing a bunch of little animations that i might share later. hope youre having a wonderful day~! :3 ♡
"with the cold seasons cyme potent magicks! for longer nights means more direct access to the lunar planes. this phenomenon is believed to be caused by aurora, the winter sorceress- an ancient princess who embodies the northern magicks, though much of her tale is lost to time. each year she makes her trek down to the north to perform her ritual, to bring the moon closer once more, and light up the night sky. all the mortals of the realm look to see her lights in the night.. one of the most fantastic wonders these lands have to offer; seeing all the colors of the realms dance across the night sky"
week 20! meant to draw something for spooky month, but it turned out to be more winter themed! still pretty happy with it though, so i dont mind. hope youre enjoying the colder seasons ♡! i prefer the rainy seasons
New Spell ♡
week 19 "atramento tenebroso, lucem trahimus! probably a bit overkill- just needed a healer to help during these trying times.. but we will take what we can get"
i tried drawing a spooky akuta for october, but they didnt turn out super great- ive had a really rough week, so pardon if quality low.. not thinkin great atm. thank you for checking out my work! ♡
watched fionna and cake- final episodes hit me where i lived, so i thought id draw one of my favorite moments. its not the happy ending id hoped for, but at least they got to meet one last time.. reminds us to appreciate the times we had, even despite their end.. rings especially prevalent in my life, right now. we all have to say goodbye eventually.
week 18, reminder to appreciate the loved ones you have- we wont always have them. thank you for checking out my work ♡
MM OST: 1 - Magmus
the music you hear approaching magmus, the molten god. they would love nothing more than to reward your insolence by personally reducing you to ash
thank you for checking out my work! <3 im thinking of uploading music i write every other week- just uploading this to make my platforms consistent!
Ribsworth and Cattington! ♡
week 17 "sir ribsworth, one of the finest royal guards in all the land! the king long ago posted him near a small village, to protect it from.. well, he doesnt remember what, but hes done an incredible job! no attacks in over 500 years, and he was only supposed to be there a season or two! talk about going above and beyond.
the townsfolk have also been very busy- so busy, he cant remember the last time hes seen one. he was worried hed have to spend his whole shift alone, but a brave cat cyme out to join him! ribsworth called them cattington, and they becyme fast friends.. cattington would bring him shinies, and ribsworth spent his breaks fashioning some simple armor for them.
he often tells cattington how he looks forward to seeing his princess again- hes sure shes missed him and his wonderful hair. she said she would write him as soon as she found time, so she must be pretty busy too. cattington suggests he write her some letters, to keep her spirits up- ribsworth loves the idea, and they spent their entire break writing updates on all the things that have happened over his shift"
thank you for checking out my work! the show goes on~ much love <3
MM OST: 2 - King Thiris
ballad of king thiris, god king of the thirian empire. meant to capture his benevolent and unyielding rule, and the necessary sacrifices he made to make the thirian empire what it is today. first secret tuesday, thank you for checking out my work! ♡
Happy 8th Anniversary, Undertale! ♡
i loved this game so much when i was younger- bought it even after watching all the playthroughs, and still cried going through it. probably changed my life, to an extent, but its hard to say these days- and i listen to much of it's music even to this day, so i thought its about time i finally made some more art for it. thank you for everything, toby!
week 16, still going strong. thank you for checking out my work! i appreciate the support ♡
Wonderful~! ♡
"reunited with quill and mask at last, we can finally begin. rewrite this world as it was meant to be, for it is our canvas.. unite the actors of this world on a new stage, in a new play- no more involuntary suffering, no more universal indifference, no more cosmic injustice! we will each tell ten thousand stories, each more enlightening and beautiful than the last! we will sing about them in songs for eons to cyme, for longer than time has a name- of a universe unified in harmony, in a glorious unending chord, in a cosmic ever changing melody"
hi, thank you for checking out my work! this is week 15, and its probably one of the best pieces ive ever done- im very happy with how it turned out. i hope youre having a wondeful day! ♡
Impossible!
"gondren shouted, in shock. hed carried her for months, on his shoulder, ever since she lost one of her legs, and he, one of his arms, in a demon's game- he had wondered why she was several hundred kits heavier than the heaviest of thirians, but he thought it impolite to ask.
but this is wonderful news! finally, he is not the only gaukren in the party. maurabelle is dumbfounded that he hadnt realized this until now."
week 14! woo! thank you for checking out my work, i hope youre having a wonderful day ♡
Quirrel and Little Ghost
week 13! finally beat last year! even despite the power being out "isnt this a wonderful spot for a rest? i so love the sound of the rain upon glass." thank you for checking out my work! hope youre having a wonderful day ♡
Unconditonally
week 12 "Even if I was very upset with you, I'd never consider leaving you. I love you unconditionally. You mean far too much for me to jeopardize what we have over anything so small"
did something simpler today.. its been a long week. hope yours has been better than mine, hons.
Masks
week 11, decided to try a 'comic' this week, because people have been asking me to, and i finally had an idea "what i was going to say, before i was interrupted, was.. we need masks because they help us keep our form, and remember who we are! they are our identities, and without them, we wouldnt be us! formless vessels, lost and confused. i apologize, i realize it wouldve been better to explain that before demonstrating.
most cant even remove their masks, nor would you want to- its an intense and unstable state, and even those who can manage it cant do so for more than at most a minute or two, lest they forget themselves. you should ask your grandma if you want to know more, shes better trained with it than i." -ms akuta
thank you for checking out my work! i dont know if this is canon lol, just wanted to tell a story, i guess. hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! ♡
Mayor Rainoke ♡
"the small town of apris was often frequented by raiders, due to it's distance from the capital's armies- it was often left to fend for itself. sick of their lazy capital representative, rainoke ran for office themself, promising a real defense and fairer representation- the capital representative didnt even show up, so rainoke won.
its been about 20 years, and apris still isnt the most pleasant place to live, but rainoke was certainly been one of the best things to happen to it- they got a proper town militia trained, and they improved living conditions somewhat. rainoke has becyme a de facto commander, but theyve gone a little overboard, most think.. one doesnt need classed fendite steel to fend off raiders.
none know this overboarding more than rainoke's daughter, darla, who grew up with their parent's militia mindset. rainoke showed their affection by training darla harder than anyone else, but this only caused great strain on their bond. darla grew up distant, and rainoke doesnt know where they went wrong.. they worry darla will get involved with one of the dreamer gangs, as shes been showing an interest in magic lately. only time will tell" -the historian
thank you for checking out my work! know its not pride month, but i really like rainoke, and thought id do some art of them finally. much loves! ♡
Miss Melody ♡
prompt 11: undeath "times have been rough in the village- the elementals are way past due to return, and an apocalyptic event seems inevitable, but the villagers seem.. hopeful, unafraid. as if theyve been comforted, by an inaudible song, and an invisible hand. the people keep on working, and living their lives, while the children play, laugh, and sing. there is legend of a kind lady.. an ancient spirit, who passed long ago, back before time had dawned, when the universe was empty, and cold. she was not content with how her world ran, so she waved her passing, and sang of a dream, of a different existence.. one where none go unloved, nor suffer more than they can bare, as she had- and even in death, can know peace, or live a thousand different dreams, each more wonderful than the last. as she sung it, it was so, and her song becyme rock and tree. river and mountain. realm and mind. peace and comfort. the people of the village have passed down this tale and song for many generations, and no one knows who first sung it, or where it cyme from, but it brings peace to the village in difficult times.. a comfort in loss, a song of love, and hope.. hope that, things get better, and everything will be alright, and we will be together again, in the end." -the historian
thank you for checking out my work! this marks the end of jrawly, only made it 11 prompts through, like last year- was a rough month that really hampered my ability to draw, but im glad i tried. i should be back to the normal weekly arts this weekend. i hope you have a good day! much love~ ♡
