Week 6: MERCY

…John! It pleases me that you care for what I have become. But never forget who I was, what I am, and what I can do…

No mercy!

#yessss excellent i love this #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

threw all my minvembers together along with the original sketches for fun (fullsizes are in my minvember tag). this is the most planned and productive I have ever been for an art challenge?? thanks again to @mortalstrife for organizing and my brain for not letting me go a day without thinking about this show for some reason

#beautiful!! #you did such a fab job with all of these palettes #chance is particularly /chefs kiss/ #minvember 2023 #and thank you for sharing your beautiful art!!

[mortalstrife]

Aaaand Minvember 2023 is over!

Big thank you to everyone who participated! I'm very sorry I wasn't as present as I would have liked to have been for this one, but it's been so great seeing everyone's wonderful art and fic and to see so much positivity and creativity!

If you are still working through your prompt fills, please, please don't worry and take your time finishing! I'm still working through my own fills too and will likely still be posting them through December and January, as well as checking the Minvember tags periodically to catch and reblog your fills too. <3

I'm working on setting up an official Minvember blog over @b5-minvember, so if you want to participate next year (or just follow along to see everyone's great art!) head on over there. It's still being set up at the moment so it's pretty empty right now, but I'm hoping to reblog everyone's fills over there soon and get everything organised and tagged so you can easily find prompts and fills from previous years! Also if you feel like taking a crack at any of last year's prompts please feel free (and please tag it with #minvember or @ the new blog so I can find it :D).

Thanks again everybody! It's been a blast. <3

#babylon 5 #minvember #b5 minvember #thank youuuu!!! #i think this was the biggest year so far #i can only hope it will get even bigger next year <3

minvember 2023 palette prompt 4: history

if the lie prompt's colors felt like the minbari palette, this prompt's colors felt like the narn palette. and who better to exemplify that than my fave of faves?

(but omg i drew so many busts of g'kars before settling on this one)

#oooh lovely #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

minvember prompt 6: mercy

you can't save everyone.

#ohhh gorgeous #this really glows #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Minvember Prompt: Mercy

Wanted to draw Delenn in that pose from the Enders Game movie since quite a while already, and now I finally did it

#ooh i like how you've used the palette to draw focus very nice #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Minvember Prompt: Chance

Thought one of these moments where they seem so close to kissing but then back away at the last second would be fitting. These moments never lead to them discussing and defining their relationship either, they just make it even more complicated. I'm sure this haunted both of them.

Not going to lie, I really struggled with this pallet.

#it's a tough palette but you did a good job! #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

He will be welcomed and put in a position of authority in the resistance. He has good ideas about raising up those in need - about organizing others into something better and nobler than they had been before.

minvember prompt 5: chance

going with the prompt as in 'second chance,' a tribute to my favourite completely bonkers ass bottle episode. really sent that incredibly traumatized dude to an active insurrectionary warzone like, hope that helps. I like to imagine he stays for some time after the war, though, and makes it onto some propaganda posters himself

#ohhh excellent use of this palette #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Week 5: CHANCE

Out of all the ships floating in space during the Battle of the Line, it was his that was chosen.

Was he always meant to be Valen? Or did he become Valen because he was the one picked up? What are the chances? Was it fate or circumstance?

#fabulous!!!! #excellent choice #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Minvember Prompt: History

Because Delenn and Neroon absolutely have some kind of (romantic) history

#haha yes they do have that bitter exes vibe #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Week 4: HISTORY

Londo is absolutely the character for this prompt – the weight of history is heavy on him…

#oh i love the shading on his face #there's something abotu it that is so intense #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

minvember 2023 palette prompt 3: crowd

g'kar in londo's thoughts: "crowding" them, as it were. but at high levels, that might be to one's advantage...

(inspired by disco elysium's art style, particularly the Half Light card and that one abstract harry avatar)

#oh fabulous #i love this #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Week 3: CROWD

…And what rough beast, its hour come round at last/Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?…

"I never thought there could be anything worse than being all alone in the night."

"But there is. Being all alone in a crowd."

#oh fabulous!!! #another excellent match for the prompt #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Week 1: PRAYER

…an old Egyptian blessing…

"May the Gods always stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk."

#omg how did i miss this earlier #lovely!! #really good likeness of sheridan who imo is very hard to draw #also highlighting his spiritual side is such a good idea #minvember #not my art

[mortalstrife]

Week 2: LIE

G'Kar from The Gathering is a sneaky guy :)

His early design was pretty cool ✨

#oh yesss! nice to see more people using traditional media #i like the way you've blended these and used the pink/purple as a highlight #minvember #not my art
