A Bunch of Teens(-ish) Just Trying to Survive in a Haunted Post-Apocalyptic Canadian Forest, Their Animal Companions, and Moth

image ID: a blue-tinted pencil drawing of seven Hello From the Hallowoods characters in a lineup. They are labeled underneath each character.

From left to right:

Riot. A white teenager with a buzzcut, a leather jacket, and a sword strapped to her back. She's standing confidently with her hands on her hips and is looking to the left.

Olivier. A Filipino person who would be much shorter than Riot were they not floating about a foot off the ground. They have short hair, dyed a lighter color on top, and are wearing a billowy white shirt and a long cape.

Diggory. A patchwork person. They are almost as tall as Olivier floating. Their skin is made up of different pieces, their eyes are blank white, and they have short black hair. They are wearing a leather jacket and patched jeans. They're smiling at the viewer and clutching their hands in front of their chest.

Percy. A white man with short dark hair. His eyes are all black, with black liquid/fire dripping from them. The lower half of his body is a smoky, ghostly amorphous form that trails around to Diggory's pocket.

Nimbus. Underneath Percy is a grey cat.

Moth. A short white person with dark hair that comes to moth's shoulders. Moth is wearing flame-shaped sunglasses, a cape, heels, fishnet stockings, and one moth-shaped earring. Moth has tattoos on moth's arms and is looking to the right and smiling slightly.

Clara and Dogsmell. Clara is a black teen with an afro. She's wearing a black tank top and a sweatshirt tied around her waist. She's smiling at the viewer and holding a broomstick. Behind her is a ghostly greyhound with black eyes similar to Percy's.

Friday and Edgar. Friday is a white person staring moodily to the right with arms crossed. She's wearing a black knee-length sleeveless dress with a spiderweb mesh over the upper torso and a lighter underskirt, and knee-high boots. She has long dark hair and dark makeup. Perched on her head is a spider that looks a bit like the Pokémon Joltik.

the saga of me drawing shadowgast on relevant homework continues

image ID: a ballpoint pen drawing of caleb widogast. his hands are raised, partially covering his face, and he has a tense, angry expression. there is fire curling around him. partially visible are sentence fragments of a fill-in-the-blank style german worksheet, including "-mir leid. ich werd' mich bessern" (-am sorry. I will be better).

family portrait for @essektheylyss fic heir to the devil's fortune 'cause it's been living in my brain

image ID: two almost identical traditional drawings of a family portrait. the only difference is that the first one is greyscale and the second is yellow toned and slightly more washed out, like an old photograph.

each picture shows marion lavorre, sitting in the center, a pregnant jester lavorre, standing to her left, and essek thelyss as fortune lavorre standing to her right and holding a champagne flute.

marion lavorre is a gracefully aging tiefling woman with long straight horns, long black hair, and a kindly smile. she is wearing a black dress with a long slit, showing off her criss cross sandals that go up to the knee, and a black choker with a gemstone pendant. she is sitting with one leg over the other in an ornate lowbacked chair with seashells on the armrests.

jester lavorre is a tiefling woman with curled horns, chin length black hair, and rounder features than marion. she is wearing a floor-length dress that gets lighter near the floor. the shoulders and cleavage area are covered with a semitransparent fabric section and a decorative collar. she is holding her pregnant belly and smiling.

fortune/essek is a tiefling man who is taller than jester. he has light, curly hair and slightly curled horns. he is wearing star and moon earrings and a black, sleeveless, high collared jumpsuit that goes to his knees underneath a gauzy floorlength coat with star detailing, held in place with a wide cloth belt that comes down in front. he is smiling slightly and ironically.

end image ID.

inspired by this post by @vampwidogast

image ID: two traditonal redraws of the "twink boutta pounce" meme, in which one person talks excitedly and another person watches them with an almost hungry expression.

in the first, caleb widogast watches essek as he casts a small black hole-like spell with planetary rings, and most of beauregard walks behind them, holding a glass, her face not visible.

in the second, caleb is talking and essek is watching. caleb's scarf is partially undone, as though he started the evening wearing it and slowly has been removing clothing as he's gotten more comfortable. essek is floating gently off the ground. in the background, jester (with her head out of frame) walks past, holding sprinkle in one hand.

it's fitting that I doodled essek during my astronomy class

image ID: a pencil drawing of essek thelyss from critical role on the edges of an astronomy class handout. he is an elf with lightly shaded skin, white hair, and a severe expression. he is facing to the right with one arm outstretched as though casting magic; it is cut off at the elbow by a diagram of the moon's phases. he is wearing ear jewellery, his mantle, and black robes secured at the waist with a white belt. the robes are bunching up at the sleeves, revealing that the black clothing underneath does not cover the shoulder. end ID.
