fashionista kanaya, she's so fun to draw
can i uhh drawing!!
One of my final works of 2022. I've found a really fancy suit similiar to this one somewhere on the internet and decided that I certainly must draw Kanaya in such a costume. This version of the artwork is a little different from the ones I posted on other social media before, 'cause some proportions were bugging me too much and I had to fix them up a little.
Also, I'm really proud of that "troll in red" pun. ;;)
what say you that Kanaya's and Karkat's visit to Echidna will still end up be the same choice being asked of them? Jade's quest require resolution post-scratch, John's quest ended up factoring things that APPEAR to be outside sburb's programming (retcon powers), so perhaps Echidna of the troll session was asking a task of Kanaya that's only resolved across 3 sessions(!) so it appeared impossible to her?
Could be. Echidna may very well give both Kanaya and Karkat a second chance to rectify their previous actions. Kanaya, the same “impossible” task as before, which she may accept this time. Karkat, the opportunity to set right his previous mistake of rushing the frog breeding which resulted in the kids’ cancerous universe. (Which wasn’t entirely his fault, but he certainly blames himself for it.)
Maybe Kanaya and Karkat will sendificate the Genesis Frog to Jade in the past. (That still needs to be resolved.) Maybe they’ll breed a second Genesis Frog, so there will be one that becomes the Cherubs’ universe and another that becomes a universe for a new instance of Paradox Space.
If there ends up being two Genesis Frogs, maybe one of these frogs is the “perfect” one from the Trolls’ session that they never found and bred. Echidna could certainly help them with that, and it could easily relate to an “impossible” task that would also be resolved across multiple sessions.
With all the happiness and fun times happening on the meteor trip, I’d like to point out one thing:
VRISKA: I think I’ve just decided that 8eing surrounded 8y horses might 8e the ultim8 8ad omen. Nothing good can ever follow or precede those circumstances.
Healer Classes: Maids, Sylphs, and Revival
I realized something that not only connects Maids and Sylphs, but strongly supports BOTH being Healer classes, as well:
Each Maid and Sylph has died and revived in a non-standard way, AND each revival involved her aspect.
Maid: Heals, creates, and (re)generates (with/through) {aspect}. Sylph: Invites healing, creation, and (re)generation of/with/through {aspect}.
Aradia, Maid of Time
Was dead before her session started. First, she came back by prototyping herself, then by becoming a robot. She eventually revived for real, reaching god tier when her comatose dream self died on her Quest Crypt as Bec Noir destroyed Derse’s moon. Aradiabot exploded as a result.
Her revival involved destruction of Derse's moon and her robot self, being at the right place at the right time, and occurred after the end of their session.
Healing via Time (destruction, timing, endings).
Kanaya, Sylph of Space
Was murdered by Eridan via Hope-blast through the torso. Since her dream self was dead, she couldn’t be revived with a kiss. Unexpectedly, she returned to life, transformed as a Rainbow Drinker.
Her revival involved transformation and came about after space was put through the middle of her torso (physical body).
Inviting healing of Space (physicality) and through Space (transformation).
Jane, Maid of Life
Her dream self was murdered by Jack Noir, “did a lifey thing,” and revived.
Her revival involved the restoration of her life force. Later, this would prove essential for reviving her when her real-self died.
Healing via Life (life force, energy).
Aranea, Sylph of Light
Died along with the rest of the Alpha Trolls as Meenah killed their team before the scratch wiped them from existence. Deciding she wanted to be important and relevant by creating and overseeing a new alpha timeline that prevented the existence of Lord English, Aranea orchestrated events and psychically manipulated others to eventually obtain the Ring of Life. She revived when she placed the Ring on her finger.
Her revival involved manipulating others’ agency, making herself relevant and important, and creating a doomed timeline that she would then heal as the alpha (the most important timeline).
Inviting healing through Light (agency, relevance, importance).
Porrim, Maid of Space
Uh, okay, not much is known about her, and she's not particularly relevant. So...yeah. I guess ignore her. She is both a Rainbow Drinker (troll vampire) and a Healer class Space player, though, like Kanaya, so that might be worth noting.
reposting because NOBODY saw this what the flip
surprise im a homestuckie... speedpaint and more under the cut!!!!
