paws and claws! 🐾

#my kids <3 #was debating giving mephisto those thigh-high stiletto boots but they didn't really work for the look #also if you can't tell he's a raccoon #his jacket is like gauze so it's translucent #jtta ik #jtta mephisto #art #obey me #giving mephisto an outfit is always safe bc even if i suck at fashion he also has questionable taste in outfits #so even if he looks dumb as hell he's still rocking it because that's just how he is #anyway this is just something cute to help y'all digest chapter 32 better #or to make up for it #since i think we're all anticipating the big emotional character beats more but this chapter was a lot of plot #as in like moving the arc along #but the stuff in this chapter needed to happen to set up those big emotional character beats in the next few chapters #anyway i sincerely hope they don't ever introduce a canon demon king because i personally think mine is cool #also in relation to that i'm very glad i'm getting to unveil more mephisto in this arc because he is My Precious Boy #sorry to anyone who doesn't like him/would prefer focusing on the canon cast!! but. my son #i'd like to think i've done a decent job of properly grounding him and the rest of the newspaper club within the om universe #so hopefully their involvement doesn't feel out of place #wizlecto's might but there's a reason they're there #both in-universe and also for story purposes #since in the coming arc i reckon we need characters to provide insight from a complete outsider's perspective #which mephisto can't do bc backstory and also he's very actively involved already #and astaroth can't bc of his friendship with belphie and also because he doesn't get directly involved in the same bit that wizlecto will #sorry i'm rambling here #i quite like what i did for the shading and stuff here because it looks nice while also not taking too long #been doing this in the evenings to wind down for bed (since writing usually keeps me awake moreso than drawing) and it's been very relaxing
