We're the Cats! We're the Cats! Yes! We're the Cats!

I want to just sit on a park bench for an hour near sunset and listen to nature, is that so much to ask

Princess Mira in Atyri ♡

week 22 "mira hardly had time to ponder the chaos of the situation she was in.. after being reunited with her parents, at the end of the world, she decided to flee with them. theyd done it all for her, to get her back.. she would never forgive them, for the things theyd done, but.. she couldnt leave them. her parents had gone mad, losing her, and the empire would see them executed for their crimes against the valley. mira and her parents fled to the deepest layers of misenheim's royal catacombs.. searching through the rarest magic items, until they found it.. an ancient scroll, to open a gateway, one-way, to the forgotten land of her ancestors. an escape from those that her parents had wronged. with the red guard having abandoned their posts, mira could hear the imperial guard breaking in.. it would be now or never. and so, they fled through. the cold dusty air of the catacombs was replaced by a warm, earthy aroma.. foresty? something so familiar, but she couldnt put her finger on it. she and her mothers rested there, for the night.. free at last, from the empire. in the morning, mira decided to scout out the area.. theyd need food, and shelter, if atyri was anything like thiria. she encountered something strange at a small clearing.. there was a rusty rapier stuck in the ground, beside a half-buried.. metallic girl?" -the historian, 404sd

hi hi! heres week 22, sorry im late! ive been meaning to draw a non-akuta on purple week for a while lol, but i finally got around to a proper atyri introduction hehe. i plan to write more on them for the future! anwho, this week's took 3h20m, has 40 unique colors, and the canvas is 650x520. thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Shelter from the Storm

week 18 "arin and ranei, taking shelter from a storm. the endlessly stormy forests of lazure offer them little time to rest.. but theyve been lucky with finding food, and found an overpass which can protect them from the storm, for the time being. after starting a small fire, theyre able to dry off, for the first time in a long time. food will eventually run dry in this area, so they cant stay here forever.. but theyll enjoy the fire and food while they have it, enjoying a rare moment of respite with one another" -the historian, 723sd hi hi! week 18, already? time flies by so quickly. anyways, wanted to draw some cute catboys. (you cant stop me). this one took me 6.5 hours, and has only 112 unique color values. not my best work, but im still pretty proud of it. anywho, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Reunion with Quirrel ♡

week 14 "oh, hello there! seems we both tread far from the path. i can hardly believe those dusty old highways led to such a lush and lively place! this building suggests some form of worship, though its idol has clearly been long forgotten. doubles equally well for a moment's respite." -quirrel ahoy hoy! here is week 14 c:. this one took about 3.5 hours, and has 83 unique color values. thought its been a long while since ive drawn quirrel, so i gave it another go. anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week! ♡

Lorine and Songpup ♡

week 13 "a young rivira swims home, after a long evening defending her village. she is exhausted, but finds refuge outside her old home, resting against the outer wall. the flow of the lake has worn down the old wood and clay, and a soft moss clings to the windowsills and doorways. she waits for her big sister, clare, to return home from scavenging near the shores. shes out longer than usual, but lori knows her sister can take care of herself.. so she will give her a little longer, before she decides to go search. but as she waits, a songwolf pup glides over to her. she knows the pup is too young to be able to sing yet, but she finds them very cute. they have a little collar, so lori knows they must have a caretaker around here somewhere.. but she doesnt know anyone with songpups, so she decides the songpup can wait here with her for the night" -the historian, 204sd week 13! oh, goodness. im late as heck. rough week, i guess ><. this piece took me nearly 7 hours, somehow, and has 127 unique color values. ive never seriously tried a fully underwater piece, so this one was very tricky! im sorry if its not very clear. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week c: ♡

The Kise of Akutay ♡

week 12 "her arrival is accompanied by great winds and rain. often preferring to dwell in her domain, she does not visit the mortal realm often.. but, when she does, it is a sight to behold. a tall masked creature bearing angelic wings, a wide brimmed hat, and tall rain boots. she carries the quillstaff, a symbol of guidance and creation, and an ethereal tool for changing the world around her. how she plans to enact this change, is yet to be seen" -the historian hi hi! welcome to week 12! this week's was kinda crazy.. 1800x1500, i usually dont do such a big size! this one took about 6.5 hours, and has 157 unique color values. im pretty proud of it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

The Naritune Priestess ♡

week 10 "deep in the forests of thiria, exists a towering but soft spoken lady, draped in clothes of moss and leaves. she is the reclusive priestess of the naritune druids, a religion devoted to the forests of thiria. though hundreds of years old, she seems not a day over 25, and bears no age curses, and yet.. perplexingly, she lacks the red hair distinctive of all young thirians. she appears as if she were birthed by the forest itself, with plants and flowers growing in her hair, and her very wings being composed of branches and leaves. she creaks slightly as she walks, and some suspect she is plant all the way through. she very rarely guides or helps her flock directly, opting instead to delegate her wishes through a druidic council, who lead on her behalf. the council delivers her message throughout the forest.. quite literally, tapping into the network of the trees to spread her word far across the valley. she is a kind soul, valuing the happiness of all life, and having immense power in the deepest regions of the forest, but she does not often like to meddle in the lives of mortals, instead preferring mostly to remain in the eternal forest, to comfort and guide her followers who no longer tie into the mortal realm. the naritune druids often follow in her footsteps, albeit to a lesser extent. theyre often more reclusive, and less invested in thirian society, often living in the woods in small independent communes, rather than in the cities and villages of the empire" -the historian, 404sd hi hi! here is week 10! took me close to 5 hours, with 183 unique color values. i think this one turned out very pretty, im happy with it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Lost in Waterfell

week 8 "lila had been very young when she lost her home. the war had taken a turn for the worse, and it seemed like the whole village might be swallowed up by it.. her parents had decided to leave, for lila's safety. as they packed, they told her to go through the escape portal, and theyd be right behind her. no one knew where these exit portals lead.. it was a last resort, reserved for when there was no other options left. lila went through, to find a peaceful place.. colors she had never seen before, and rain much heavier than at home, despite there being no sky to speak of. there was no one around, so.. she waited for her parents. a couple minutes, at first.. then half an hour.. then hours, and eventually.. days. the rain never let up. she was cold, soaked, and hungry. she still prayed to lurielle to let her see her parents again, but she couldnt wait here any longer. she left her hidey hole, in search of help.. hopefully thered be someone here who could help her find her parents" -the historian, 204sd hi hi! heres the art of week 8! took me about 4 hours. quite late, because i overslept, but i hope you still enjoy it! im sorry its a sad one ;w;. but anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

A Stroll Through The Rain ♡

week 7 "an old akulyte walks through the rain, practicing her craft. so many years in darkness and isolation, now ready to return to the light. no longer burdened by expectation, no longer shackled by regret. she singlemindedly pursues her endeavor, and nothing short of divine intervention can stop her now" ahoy hoy! hope you like this week's art :3. im a bit late again.. this one took about 4 hours, i think im getting back into the swing of things! anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a lovely week ♡

Cats in the Rain, Elen and Melon ♡

week 6 "in the caves of ryokai, on the outskirts of ferakova, a young rivira lady named elen, is resting, and playing her guitar. the rain falls outside, pattering the roof, and watering the flora. she is lonely, and a bit tired.. she had been gardening all of the morning, and 'crop sales' have been slow. she gets ready to wind down, and take a nap, but before she can set her guitar down, she hears a faint meowing from outside.. she decides to feel her way to the door, and scuffles her feet as she walks. she is completely blind, but her hearing is pristine. she shambles her way towards the meowing, and tentatively feels for the cat, and petting it. what is this fendite cat doing out in the rain? water burns all who are fire aligned.. most run, or hide. this cat seems soft, and friendly.. elen decides to shelter them, for now. they are fat and round, so she decides to nickname them melon, until she thinks of something better. shes never been much of a cat person, with how often they eat her crops.. but she will take care of this one, at least until the rain lets up" -the historian, 582sd hi hi! back again. this one took me about 4 hours, and agh, im later than id have preferred.. but i hope you still enjoy it! anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week c:

Scavengers of Lazure ♡

"two gaukren make their way back from the lazure ruins. theyve been searching for trinkets and cool things to bring back to their hideout.. theyve no need for food, so they mostly just collect whatever they think is interesting! that, and material to protect their stuff from the storms. they dont mind the rain, but when it storms, they risk getting washed away. despite this danger, imn is very nonchalant, and lazy.. sif doesnt understand them, but knows its better they work together. imn knows this place very well, so their knowledge is invaluable, even if they dont help much. and.. even if they didnt, imn is all sif really has. theyre alone together in this land, and they share a bond like siblings." -The Historian, 718sd

hi! thank you for checking out my art! this is week 4. took me about 3 hours, and was a bit experimental, but i hope you like it, and i hope you have a good xmas! much love ♡

Providential Repose

hi hi! guess we are on week 3? posting a random akuta art, it was inevitable lol. took me about 2 hours to make, i like how this one turned out. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a lovely weekend! ♡ "a blinding flash, and then silence. such a peaceful silence. a perpetual fall, finally halted. it was like a warm embrace, a moment to take a step back, and reconsider. time enough for a change in perspective, a newfound clarity, and resolve. a fiery endeavor, reigniting the heart long forgotten"

Serenity of Mondel ♡

"mondel, once a fairly small mining town, never had much of an economy.. at most a general store, since neighbors usually just covered each other's needs, being a small interconnected community. its metal deposits werent nearly as numerous as in drekow, so most empire sponsored miners went to the south for their trade.. but this all changed after the great serpent appeared, blocking off the great lakeside trade over night. mondel quickly became the valley's new primary mining city, and before the season's end, the population had already doubled, with more soon to arrive. a few of the older generation were upset with the drastic change in community, but most were welcoming of the new community and culture, bringing trade and breathing new life into the old town. far above the town, on the unreachable peaks above, an old mage watches, delighted to see their old town stronger than ever" -the historian, 404sd hi! i apologize about the long absence.. 8 months?! i guess ive been unwell for a while.. but im finally back! call it a season 2, perhaps? ive been practicing, and i cant wait to show you all the art ive been working on! see you all next week, much love! c: ♡

A Moment with The Moss Knight ♡

"i saw a strange fellow out there. he seemed quite taken by the lake. id planned to offer greetings, though figured id first tend to my nail on chance our meeting goes poorly" -quirrel week 43! goodness, im late this week.. was a bit of a struggle, but im still kickin! thought id try something new, a hollow knight-ified version of my oc? hope yall dont mind ><. anyways, this is we, spending a moment with the chill moss knight by the lake- cant say i know all of what theyre feeling, but i can relate. anywhos, thank you for checking out my work! sorry im late, i hope you have a wonderful week! <3

The Seer Waits ♡

"youve certainly made my dreary work here more exciting. being the caretaker of this place hasnt been very stimulating. i shouldnt complain, though. tending these graves and guiding the wielder... all penitence for old crimes. certain things have to be kept in balance." week 42! and i say, let there be purple! ive been wanting to draw this crazy old lady for a while, but this week i finally got to it! felt like she needs more rep, shes a lovely character. anywhos, been rough lately, but thank you for checking out my work! your support keeps me going, and i hope you have a wonderful week!

The White Lady ♡

week 41 "oh! one arrives. far it walks to find me. did it seek my aid? or did the path carry it by chance to so pertinent a place? i have a gift, held long for one of your kind. half of a whole. when united, great power is granted, and on the path ahead, great power it will need." aah! this was a weird drawing to make.. the white lady being a central character to the piece and a part of the background made it difficult to blend. not the most proud of this one, but i gave it my best, and i hope you enjoy it still! anywhos, thank you for checking out my work, i hope you have a wonderful week!

Sleepy Hatchlings ♡

week 40. "the hatchlings have no desire to eat or live, and will sacrifice themselves to protect their parent" theyre gonna make the glowing womb hatchlings THIS CUTE, and then make them little kamikazes?! team cherry is trolling with this one, smh. anyways, finally getting back on my feet, and im feeling good about the future. thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week <3

Quirrel at Blue Lake ♡

happy 7th anniversary, hollow knight! "again we meet, my short friend. here at last, i feel at peace. twice ive seen this world, and though my service may have stripped the first experience from me, im thankful i could witness its beauty again." week 39. argh, another rough week, but im still kickin! another art, trying to push that lighting to its limit. also quirrel, if you walk into that lake, i swear i will be very sad. anywhos, thank you for checking out my work! hope you have a wonderful week <3

PK and Little Hornet ♡

figured id drawn little ghost in all four of my last hk drawings, so i thought id leave them out this time.. why not draw little hornet, instead? and i wanted to give pale king a go again, too, so heres the result! white palace cyme out looking a little blue, but oh well. am pretty proud of it still! hope this one brightens yall's day a little c:

week 38, very late! agh! but im keeping up with the streak another week- wont be stopped so easily. today's piece took about four hours- took me a while to figure out how to draw bb hornet, and to figure out how to shade pk's cloak.. not the most proud of that, but it is what it is. thank you for checking out my work! hope you have a wonderful week <3

A Flower for Hornet ♡

i want to give the delicate flower to more residents of hallownest! why isnt it possible, team cherry?? arghhh! i guess realistically, hornet in particular is likely to accidentally damage it very quickly, but gosh darn it, we should be able to give a flower to our sister! thatd be super cute >:3

week 37! argh, late again! this is becyming a pretty terrible habit, but i was able to power through the bad times and make something that will hopefully improve your guys' day a little.. would give you all a delicate flower if i could c:. thank you for checking out my work, and i hope you have a wonderful week! <3

Songstress Marissa ♡

"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

The Knight's Reprieve ♡

"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

Monomon and lil Quirrel ♡

"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

Big Sister ♡

"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
