Here's the draw six fanarts meme I decided to participate in 4 years late

In true burnin0akleaves spirit I didn't ask anyone for requests and just went ahead with all of the characters that have been the most impactful/important to me, so there is a high chance you've seen me draw these guys before.

By the way, unlike the rest of the blorbos here Siyra is an original character and belongs to @nineteen-rats!

Close-ups and rambles under the cut because it's my blog

Ohh the Dark Urge. My latest obsession. I love his design so much, I'm a slut for white/red color schemes, but I feel like it's a double edged sword that takes you out of the horrors he's commiting at the same time?

Durge is supposed to be murder incarnate, someone that does every fucked up thing related to death imaginable; but when you see a giant lizard eating babies or humping corpses, it dulls the effect a bit since you automatically view it as an animalistic act. Dragonborns are obviously a fully sentient humanoid race in-universe; but when the violence you're seeing is already toeing the line between horrifying and hilarious, seeing a scalie doing it just pushes it over the line. I still think it works really well most of the time and I'm very glad that this is the default durge we get! It's just funny to me that when you choose to play as the giant lizard, the dark and disgusting horror story turns into the hilariously edgy bloodfest.

Reminding everyone again that Siyra belongs to @nineteen-rats! I love this man so so so much. I am the Siyra fandom. I am the number one Siyra fanartist. He did nothing wrong and I will defend his every decision. I also hope terrible horrors befall him and that his actions keep him awake for the rest of his life. Pookie bear xoxo

COMING IN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR IT'S WILL TREATY

He is on my mind, always. I don't talk about him as much but he's probably still the fictional character who had the most impact on me as a person.

PATROCLUS! PATROCLUS!!! SIR I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN!!

I got into patrochilles and the Illiad in general thanks to "The Song of Achilles". It was one of the first queer books I got to have in real life and the prose captivated me instantly, I still have it on my shelf. After reading the Illiad itself however, I hate that book so much. I'm sorry it's genuinely beautiful and I get why people like it but I can never forgive that horrible Patroclus characterization after seeing what he was originally like. Achilles too for that matter.

Hades swooped me up into its arms like I was a sick baby bird and nursed me back to health with its portrayal of the two though and for that I am forever grateful. I can't wait for Hades 2, death to Chronos.

God Half-Life is such an important series for me. My dad would let me play through a few levels since I was a child, he grew up with the games, but I REALLY played through the entire series one summer shortly before dad moved out. He was there watching me play most of it and getting to enjoy someone actually translate the game's dialogue for him for the first time.

Gordon may not speak once but I like the hints of his personality we get throughout the games, most importantly from the way Alyx talks to/about him. I have my own characterization of him obviously but I do really think you can get a good understanding of the kind of man he is meant to be in-universe just by paying attention to his surroundings. Also another reason the games were so immersive for me is that I'm just as in love with Alyx as Gordon is. I must have let her get hit only once or twice the entire time just out of how protective I was over her. I'd topple the entire Combine empire just for her hand in marriage. I rewatched the ending of Half Life Alyx recently and cried.

I read the entirety of LOTR in one week in 11th grade, carrying that damn brick of a book everyday to school and back. I'm so glad I did honestly. Frodo and Sam are my important little guys and I find myself going back to them when I need something to calm me down in a way no other series except LOTR can. I've read most of Tolkien's work at this point, but nothing captivated me like those two little hobbits. Everytime I read a bad take about their relationship I sketch them making out.

People liked seeing my drawing process before so here's the original sketch and the little notes I wrote to myself trying to set the mood. I followed like half of them.

Thank YOU for writing it! Read it again now that I got the time to, I love it.

Can I have more photos of Linden and Alaz? I want something to draw. Ty <3

I'm so incredibly honored??? Even if you don't end up feeling like drawing those two, I'm still very happy that you thought about it at all, thank you!

You can find all of Linden's relevant information here, and Alaz' here including drawings. They don't have a lot of them on there since these two were always meant to be side characters, but I hope these will be helpful!

[burnin0akleaves]

WOW OKAY THIS WAS SO GOOD???

I love that you went with the concept of the kraken tattoo being something that almost haunts Linden and refuses to let them sleep? It's meant to serve a similiar purpose in canon, their deepest desires and hopes permanently inked into their skin hidden by layers of fabric from the outside world, something once positive now a shameful secret; but it almost has a mind of its own here. It feels like Linden is very tired and that all of their stresses and problems are manifesting as the tattoo to keep them awake.

The way you describe the scenery is fucking beautiful man. I love your writing style. The fact that it's Alaz who organized the trip and unknowingly put Linden in an uncomfortable situation that they deal with quietly to not upset her is also very in character for both of these idiots!

The fact that a lot of this is just Linden pacing around in frustration yet it never feels repetitive really shows how talented you are. I love that it isn't boring to read yet really makes you feel their headspace, that's great writing.

AND THE LAST PART??? LMAO??? That's honestly so fucking funny. That would happen. Linden is absolutely smart enough to learn shit like that and sneakily test the knowledge on Alaz. I love the implication that they did this (or things similiar to this) enough times to casually stroll into his room when bored. And the fact that when it goes wrong and Alaz wakes up Linden straight up refuses to elaborate and gets the fuck out of there? Hilarious genuinely and completely in-character.

I like that now that there is a very real source of stress Linden's mind doesn't feel the need to conjure up the kraken anymore and they're just kept awake by sheer embarrasment. I said it already but that's so funny ajdbfjfnfsjfhf what an idiot

Thank you so much for writing this!! You have such a great hold on their characters and it was a joy to read. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write about them, I really appreciate it!! ❤️

OH FUCK YES!!! THATS MY MAN!!! THATS THE GUY

Fantastic TRR Will inclusion aside (thank you I owe you my life it's been so long since I've seen his handsome face) I think this cover excels at just about everything. Maddie and Will are in dynamic poses that capture your attention without looking awkward, they're actually dressed for the occassion and you get the warm color palette the original was going for without making everything look an ugly yellow.

I love everything about this, 10/10

did you see the new TRR book cover?

Real footage of my plans for when I find whoever is photobashing these covers

Jokes aside I hate it so much I was this 🤏 close to drawing my own take on it, but my art style really isn't the best for that type of stuff. I really hope someone else does tbh because why is she wearing orange 😭

I will always hate the "Well I might have to end up doing furry commissions at this rate, oh the terror! Look at the dirty work I'm being forced to do! Woe is me~" type of humour.

Why admit you find the content you will be paid to make cringe, when you're going to get commissioned by the people who are passionate about it? If it were me, even if your art was amazing I'd never pay you knowing you were making fun of me or my interests behind my back.

Have you considered not being a pussy and making furry art because it's fucking cool?

The furry fandom has plenty of amazing artists in the community who love the work they do already, no one needs an outsider openly hating on their interests to draw for them. I promise you your art isn't that good. I'm not even a furry it just pisses me off to read these types of comments so much.

"Furries are extremely dedicated and you can earn a lot of money by drawing art for them." is one thing, "Furries are disgusting and it is a humliating and painful position to have to draw for them." is something else. What are you, 14 years old? Stuck in middle grade? Watching SJW cringe compilations online? Suck my dick
