[WIP] A young Entrapta killing the Last King of the Scorpioni
Is okay to cry for what had been lost, my dear. Tomorrow is a new day, as for today the child you once were had died.
Maybe no the most happy of drawings, but I think is a good one to finish 2023.
Firts of all, I hope you all had a very happy Christmas this year, and I wish an equally Happy New Year!!
This year has been rough for me, I passed my internship with the highest grades in July, and now I am days to finish my thesis finally.
In the past months there has been very little updates from me, no art whatsoever, and I'm ashamed of say, not even commission updates for those who had been due theirs. I apologize profoundly.
At the beginning of 2023 I experienced a back injury that took months to heal, the pain was too much, and still today I feel the reminicent of it. At the same time I've been too exhausted by all the requiriments to finish this big step in my life to become a professional and academic in my field, that I negleted the one thing that brings me the most joy in my life.
I am not good balancing work and life, and this took a toll on me. For the first time in long time, that part of my life that brings joy became a burden, I indentified it as a distraction, and I turned it off completely.
This happened because I'm experiencing a big sense of dread to the prospect of what the future awaits for me, trying to search for summer jobs without avail and feeling disappointed all over, feeling depressed because I feel stuck and not growing as an adult reaching 30, there are a lot of expectations to what I could do after getting my degree, defending my thesis on March will be one of them. And this has taken all my energy and time from creating things I love, to the point I even asked myself what was the point of continuing with it.
Art is one of these things that has been with me for the longest, starting drawing when I learned to hold a pen, even before knowing how to write, but in the past six months, after spending a great time without even sketching, I was afraid I had lost this ability, as my head was on Uni, and my body felt heavy by all the stress I didn't want to even check if I could still draw.
I do, I can still draw, although slowly and always resting. My brain needs to adapt again to what it was after months of not doing so.
Creating this version of Entrapta has been a roller coaster of emotions for me, she helps me to express myself and I love thinking in new ways to draw her, I don't care she is not really an original character, but mostly the deep emotional connection I have with her while writing and drawing her story.
She is strong, she is cunning, she is fierce and intelligent. But even a woman like her has to have moment of vulnerability. And this scene, is a pinpoint moment; killing while losing something of herself, quite literally, not feeling fierce but fragile, in pain, and overwhelmed.
Is something that I have reflected a lot the past months, to realize I am entering a moment in my life I should allow me to feel and not to restrict myself from the things I love, so I will try to take my time facing the situations that scares me and as well trying not to feel overwhelmed and anxious for what is to come.
If you would like to support my artistic journey, you can do so on Patreon and Kofi! I would greatly appreciate it! wish you a Happy New Year!

Hey people I just want to know, what do you love about this piece so much?? It is my favorite of my Spop AU so far, but I want to read your opinions about it as is the most liked of them all 😄
‘Down in the Dryl’s mines’
“Be careful, my Lord, locals says there is a ghost lurking on the tunnels… and it likes to scare people out”
I am glad Entrapta was portrayed in such a way on SPOP, like an eldritch creature lurking on the corridors of her castle, with nearly zero human interactions, sneaking around and spying on people. So I like to imagine an AU ambbiented on the classic show, were Hordak goes into the mines or the castle of Dryl to explore around and Entrapta follows him close while he is unaware of her presence. This is my first time drawing classic Hordak as well, he is just a mix of Revelation and 2002.
Two versions for everyone, because I wasn’t going to colour this initially and I liked the b&w a lot 😅
