Crab/Crawfish Boil! Coloring the food was a challenge of "what shade of Copic Marker is this?"
The last time I had a Crab Boil was in… middle school? My friend’s mom dumped the whole thing on a giant plastic sheet on the dining room table and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely made an impression, that's for sure!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 5 panel comic
PANEL 1: (Charlie stands to the side, looking at something offscreen.) C: Hey Dad? L: Yeah? C: We’re you expecting a package from Uncle Levi? L: A what?
PANEL 2: (Charlie looks at two giant towers of seafood crates. One has a note that reads “2 Luci w/ ❤️.” Another note reads, “Call more often u dick.”) C: It’s a bunch of boxes from Uncle Levi!
PANEL 3: (A blur runs by Charlie in a flurry of feathers, sending her hair flying askew.) L: WOO YEAH!
PANEL 4: (Lucifer bounds away, the crates stacked high above his head.) L: SEAFOOD IS HERE - FRESH FROM ENVY! AL, GET THE KITCHEN READY!! C: Uh… Dad?
PANEL 5: "A few hours later…" (There is a giant, messy pile of cooked crab, shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, corn, and sausage on a long table. Charlie is agape with amazement, and Alastor hands her a plate.)
A: Charlie - be a dear and fetch the others for dinner please? And you’re going to catch flies if you keep gawking.
(Lucifer is taking photos with his phone, sending them to a group chat.)
L: Eatin’ good 2nite! Thx Levi! <crab emoji> Levi: OMG JEALOUS Levi: Is that a GODDAMN CRAB BOIL?? F U Bee: No fucking way bitch u only cook pancakes Bee: Who’s cooking 4 U?? DEETS U BITCH <heart emoji heart emoji>

Alastor is a veritable font of information when he wants to be.
I swear, one of these days I'm going to get Al's skin tone right. Also, coloring food is HARD.
SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD SERIES Chicken and Waffles Sweet Tea Peach Cobbler Crab Boil Fried Catfish Shrimp and Grits Biscuits and Gravy Cornbread Gumbo
Image description below the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Alastor and Lucifer stand at the kitchen counter, sampling a plate of steaming hot hush puppies (round, fried bits of dough) with some dipping sauces. Both have traded their coats for cooking aprons. Alastor's green apron says, "MY KITCHEN MY RULES." Lucifer's royal blue apron has an image of a rubber duck with a chef hat on.
Alastor (inspecting a hush puppy with tartar sauce on the end of a tiny fork): Usually hush puppies are paired with some kind of fish dish, but seafood seems to be hard to come by down here! They make an excellent snack though! You know, there's a FASCINATING history behind these little morsels. (proceeds to give a small TEDtalk)
Lucifer freezes with his fork in his mouth, a lightbulb appearing above his head.

Ya'll - the SPEED at which I scrambled to finish this when I found out today was National Peach Cobbler Day. I'll have to bake some tomorrow!
SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD SERIES Chicken and Waffles Sweet Tea Hushpuppies Crab Boil Fried Catfish Shrimp and Grits Cornbread Gumbo Biscuits and Gravy
EDIT: the timer is now named Peaches
Image description below the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A short two part comic.
Panel 1: Header reads "13 APRIL - NATIONAL PEACH COBBLER DAY." Lucifer stands behind his workbench that is littered with tools, holding a bowl of peach cobbler and whipped cream in one hand, and a note in the other. The note reads, "Remember to eat and take breaks every hour. Your posture is terrible. Charlie will be upset if you disappear into your workshop for the whole day and miss dinner again. ~Charlie's Superior Dad." Lucifer looks slightly torn between exasperated, amused, fond, and irritated.
Panel 2: A closeup of the rubber duck Lucifer was working on, which is now a singing timer. "Time for a break, you workaholic! Did you drink your water today? Get outta your goddamn chair! Unclench your jaw!" Next to it, the bowl is empty.

Sweet Tea: the staple of nearly every Southern household.
I think this is about to be a WHOLE DANG THING. I blame this brainworm on @notherpuppet and her Bread Pudding comic. Got me all nostalgic for foods from when I was a kid at my grandparents' house.
We all know Al loves jambalaya, so I'm focusing on some other dishes!
SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD SERIES Chicken and Waffles Peach Cobbler Hushpuppies Crab Boil Fried Catfish Shrimp and Grits (debating on this one, b/c it came out in the '50's?) Biscuits and Gravy Cornbread Gumbo
Medium: Copic markers, gel pens, colored pencil
Image Description below the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: a 6-panel Radioapple comic
Panel 1: Lucifer crouches by the kitchen counter, watching Alastor serve up a glass of amber liquid out of a large glass beverage dispenser. Lucifer: Whatcha makin'? Alastor: It's sweet tea.
Panel 2: Lucifer frowns, standing up straighter. L: But you don't like sweets. (aside: Sus...) A: (offers Lucifer the glass) Correct. This is for the hotel lobby. Taste test this for me?
Panel 3: Lucifer downs the whole glass in one go without hesitating. "Bottoms up!" reads the background with little cartoon stars.
Panel 4: Lucifer freezes, his brain buffering. A: Does it need more sugar?
Panel 5: Lucifer looks up at him, serious as can be, with little pink bubbles and golden Satanic-cross sparkles floating around him. L: Marry me. A: (recoils, hissing) NO.
Panel 6: End! (there's a small sketch of a full glass of sweet tea with a straw.)

After Lucifer’s multiple requests for pancakes, Alastor finally made chicken and waffles as an attempt at a truce.
SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD SERIES Sweet Tea Peach Cobbler Hushpuppies Crab Boil Fried Catfish Shrimp and Grits (debating on this one, b/c it came out in the '50's?) Biscuits and Gravy Cornbread Gumbo
[Image description: Lucifer flings himself into Alastor with a giddy hug, nearly knocking him over. Alastor is starting to transform, as he holds a slotted spoon in one hand and a plate of hot chicken and waffles in the other.
Alastor: If you make me drop this, I WILL THROW YOU INTO THE DEEP FRYER!!

TAKE ME BACK TO THE PIRATE CITY PLEASE.
Do you ever have a crappy day at work and just wanna draw a badass bitch in a smiting mood?
Leviathan was briefly mentioned in FHJY Ep11 and I sat and giggled like a maniac for several minutes. So, I brought out my old kit of colored pencils because my head hurt too much to put up with marker fumes. Not my cleanest work, but I had fun. Ayda is always a treat to draw.
Image description under the cut!
[Image Description: a colored pencil sketch - sort of comic?- of Ayda Aguefort. She’s wearing multiple earrings, dark gray pants and sleeveless shirt, gray bracers, dark purple corset, and a leather thigh holster for, presumably, spell components.
First page, first panel is a close up of Ayda’s face. “While you are not incorrect - ”
Second panel is a full body shot as she stands tall, summoning blue magic into her left hand.
“This ‘wizard bitch’ was raised by pirates. You’ll have to do better than that to deceive me.”
The second image is a close up of panel 2.

"Now we just have to let it cook on low heat for two hours." "Kaaaaay. What do we do until then?" "OH, I'm sure we'll find SOMETHING to do."
~
I was listening to Water Wall from the Transistor OST and thought of Lucifer and Alastor dancing a slow tango to a bass-y jazz number in the hotel's expansive new kitchen. I ended up finding Unsolved by Mythical Score Society and it creates such a gentle, sexy mood. Loved how it turned out. ❤️
If anyone has additional music recommendations for this scenario, please pass them along! I'd love to hear them.
Not sure why, but the colors look more fluorescent in the photo than they really are. Must be the lighting.
ALSO, SOMEHOW I FORGOT TO ADD ALASTOR'S TAIL????
(Image description and reference photos under the cut)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image Description: A sketchbook page of four drawings of Lucifer and Alastor dancing a tango, with Alastor leading, as music plays in the background. Both men are missing their jackets, and are instead wearing kitchen aprons, with their shirt sleeves rolled up. Lucifer's apron is a buttery yellow, and Alastor's is lime green. Both look like they're actually enjoying themselves.
Various reference photos are featured under the cut.

Inspired by the sculpture “Orpheus Ascending” by Richard Macdonald. I saw it and I had to draw it. I think Valentino had to have caught Husk unawares and attacked him first, or else that moth would be sporting a few wounds of his own.
Need to practice more on backgrounds and landscapes. I will say that Valentino was good practice for drawing expressions on what I have heard described as a “muppet face.”
Description under the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Valentino stands at the top of V Tower, watching as Angel Dust hangs onto the railing with one hand. He’s trying to get a better grip with two other hands, while the remaining three hold onto Husk’s unconscious body. Husk is bleeding from a wound on his temple, and appears to be slipping out of Angel’s grasp. There are some closeups of Angel, Husk, and Valentino’s faces. Off to the side is a wide shot of V Tower.
Angel: HUSK! HUSK, WAKE UP!! HUSK!!

The look on Val's face when Niffty was revealed to be Adam's killer was the face of a man who realized he'd dodged a very nasty bullet. Alastor sure knows how to pick 'em.
I personally cannot wait for a Niffty backstory episode. It's probably going to be heart-wrenching, because there's likely a horrible reason why she is fireproof.
Also, I've been forgetting to add Husk's bowtie lately? The poor man was robbed of his clothes as it is!
Description below the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Comic sketch.
PANEL 1: Valentino is smoking a cigarette and looms over Husk, who has his back to the viewer. Valentino: Whatchu gonna do about it, gatito? LOL get lost, loser.
PANEL 2: Husk just glares.
PANEL 3: Husk holds Niffty up, as she maniacally wiggles in his grasp, making grabby hands at Valentino. Niffty: GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME HUSK PLZ I'VE BEEN DYING FOR A TASTE
PANEL 4: Valentino pales, remembering what happened to Adam, and makes a run for it, Niffty in hot pursuit. All that is left is the dust cloud left in their wake. Valentino: AHHHHHHHHH Niffty: GONNA PIN THOSE PRETTY WINGS TO MY WALL - FOR MY COLLECTION!! Husk: (waves) Happy hunting, kid!

More Overlord!Husk AU
@celestialalpacaron - I'm not sure if you fully understand the scope of the ART MONSTER you have unleashed with this idea.
But just got some practice with quick sketches using reference photos - mostly of Frank Sinatra. (Included those too for comparison.) I think my favorite is the waltz one, because I am a SUCKER for ballroom dance. ❤️ And ballet. And jazz. And dance in general. You get such WILD and beautiful poses.
Description below the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: a collection of ink sketches of Husk and Angel in the Overlord!Husk AU. One sketch is an overhead view of Husk and Angel waltzing, as they rest their heads on each others' shoulder. One is of Husk kissing Angel on the temple. One is of Husk scowling while holding Fat Nuggets, who's wearing a tiny top hat. The last is of Angel and Husk sitting together, wearing more casual clothes, with Husk comforting Angel as he leans into him, and has one wing curled over him.
The next four are close-ups of each sketch. The next four are the reference photos used.

Best thing after being on your feet all day.
MY DAYS HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH HUSKERDUST BRAINROT.
Description under the cut!
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: a Huskerdust comic sketch
PANEL 1: Angel is falling asleep at the bar, his body is halfway a limp noodle in the chair. Husk has just finished pouring a drink into a martini glass for him.
Husk: (smiles) Why don't you finish your drink and then head upstairs?
Angel: Mmm... don'wanna...
Husk: There's a surprise waiting for you.
Angel: ! (an anime-style ahoge perks up from Angel's head with interest)
PANEL 2: Angel, along with Fat Nuggets, pokes his head into his bathroom, where a candlelit bubble bath has been drawn up for him in the giant claw-foot tub. There's a stack of bath products and towels nearby.
Angel: Nuggsy, I need to put a ring on that man.

Saw the exquisite overlord!Husk AU by @celestialalpacaron and caught an art bug BAAAAAAD. Next thing I knew, I was suddenly filling my Pinterest reference boards with shots of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly whilst listening to Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable."
Image description below the cut!
(Media: Watercolor, metallic watercolor, copic markers, glitter glue, pearl glue)
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The first image is a colored sketch of Husk and Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel. Husk sits at a card table, slightly hunched forward - threateningly? - with his arms folded on the table, and his wings tucked neatly behind him. He's holding a King of Diamonds card in his right hand. He's wearing a gray pinstriped suit with dark gray lapels, golden cuffs, a gold bowtie, and a jeweled red pin.
Behind him stands a smiling Angel Dust in a metallic golden gown with diamonds encrusting the top of the bodice. He's wearing sheer golden gloves, gold eyeshadow, a pearl-studded bracelet, long diamond earrings, and an eight-layer pearl necklace while holding a golden, opera-length, cigarette holder.
They have matching rings.
The remaining images are close-ups, and the last is the initial sketch.

There are days when I go back to my roots of drawing extremely pretty men and elaborate outfits and jewelry.
"Pirates of Leviathan" is one of my favorite seasons of Dimension 20 - can you tell? "A Court of Fey and Flowers" is right up there with it. Can't get enough of it. I really hope the Bad Kids swing by Leviathan at some point again. Like, Garthy O'Brien was briefly mentioned in FHJY Adventuring Party Ep1, and I went FERAL. (I wanna know more about Ayda's relationship with Garthy! Embarrassing baby stories, general lore, I DON'T CARE.)
Needless to say, I adore Garthy O'Brien and Jack Brakkow. It was hilarious to watch Matt and Brennan flirt with each other. But even more than that, I love a good revenge/glow-up story, and Captain Brakkow had a great one.
(Image description under the cut!)
[Image description: Garthy O'Brien stands with Captain Jack Brakkow at their side, his hand on their left hip. They are gesturing off to the left, as if showing Jack the sights. Garthy, a half-orc aasimar with golden eyes, is wearing a plethora of intricately-made, gemstone-studded jewelry, comprised of: two upper arm bands, four bracelets, three rings, a choker, chandelier earrings, and an enormous Anatolian-style necklace that spans nearly from shoulder to shoulder. Jack Brakkow is a 7ft-tall ratfolk pirate captain wearing a loose, navy shirt, tan pants, and a teal captain's coat. There's a small silver charm of a crescent moon sickle hanging from his collar, marking him as the captain of the Harvest Moon. He also wears a golden belt buckle with mother-of-pearl inlay depicting a flower garden.

Of all things, THIS is what I took away from the first episode of Fantasy High: Junior Year. In the words of Ayda Aguefort: "NOOOOO - IT'S TOO CUTE!!"

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
But only for part of this. The other is a theory.
Essentially, I thought too long about the "what if Orym multi-classed into a barbarian and got to release all that pent-up rage?" idea. And he asked Morrigan to make him "more capable." HOW DOES THAT MANIFEST??
YA'LL. You know if something remotely like this happens, we'll be able to hear Travis scream with delight through the fabric of space-time.
(Image description below the cut!)
[Image Description: a sketchy comic about Orym's deal with Nana Morri.
Panel 1: (Wide shot of Orym struggling to get up, using his sword to push himself up. He's bleeding from multiple wounds, and the sky above is red, Exandria a small blue dot in the sky.) Badguy (offscreen): You are just a lone, little man in a big fight. What can YOU do?
Panel 2: Fearne: ORYM! (She reaches for him)
Panel 3: Nana Morri (her voice in Orym's mind): Get up. Orym: N-Nana Morri? (his silhouette hacks up a mouthful of blood) Nana: Get up, little Ashari.
Panel 4: Orym: I... (Close up of his left eye, where a yellow-green light has started to shine. Blood trickles down his face, over his eye)
Panel 5: Orym: would like... (Close up of his right hand, clenching the sword)
Panel 6: (A ghostly red silhouette of Nana Morri hovers in the air over Orym, her fanged smile and clawed hands filling the space. Orym is standing, but a little crookedly. Yellow-green light continues to waft like smoke from his left eye.) Nana: You aren't done yet. Orym: ...to rage.
