#Ancient Fuelweaver

[cameoappearance]

You will be unraveled.

I got the idea to go as Fuelweaver for Halloween because I already had a bunch of skeleton-related clothes and didn't want to be a plague doctor for the 3rd year in a row. Progress pics of the mask-hat-thing under the cut!

It's wire-wrapped printer paper covered in more paper, packing tape, and masking tape (which didn't like being painted with watery brown paint), tipped with hollow plastic devil horns and attached to a $15 plastic skull decoration I happened to find using the straps from the LED headlamps I put in for the lights to attach it to my head. I did it in just under a week, so I used what was on hand and wouldn't need multi-day setting or drying times; consider this Fuelweaver 1.0. I also have to disassemble it to turn the lights on or off, but that's cosplay for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bonus pic of the finished skull for everyone who came this far:

I can do the "take the skull off and hit you with it" thing, the lower half of each horn is sturdy enough, but it takes a considerable production to put it back on again (to the point where I found it easier to eat with it on and try not to move my head up or down than to take it off and put it back on), so that's for photoshoots only.

My contribution to the Winter's Feast Fanzine 2023, hosted by @chainsaw-mewmew!! ^w^ featuring a bunch of shadows, along with their "king" and queen, decorating a tree together.

(If you haven't seen it yet you should go download it it's full of a lot of amazing artwork <3)

(The link above goes directly to the download page but this should be the link to the announcement post if you want to share it <3)

below the cut is various stages of progress of the drawing (for fun),

and a silly extra doodle

Sketch: (........I don't uh, usually do these. When drawing)

(Fuelweaver and the lights were different colors from everything else to help it stand out from the tree)

Lineart: (I have only now noticed the branch in the terrorbeak. uh. It doesn't show in the final piece bc the terrros beak is layered on top)

Color: (but no lineart color) (mildly cursed) (half of the lineart has vanished. wonder why.)

Color with with colored lineart:

Lastly, a few extra effects (Some could sorta fall under shading, idk what they'd be called exactly though.)

Of course, the shading would just be the finished piece :3

and. a silly doodle because I am suffering. not really im fine and normal about the two dst winter themed pieces I've drawn this year. This one, about shadows having a good time during the feast and the other one, about survivors having a not good time. with impalement. and blood. for those who like. blood and violense idk :3

Im going to bed now gn

The fuelweaver has me in a chokehold

wilson, webber, and wormwood are there for fun as small doodles. (+ a WX sketch i did to finalize the way i draw them)

🦫 another thing this i guess would be an au where the fuelweaver just remembers all the times they died (21 times to be exact) and just stopped caring. and became besties with wormwood and webber 🦅

It’s been a hot second since I’ve played or theorized about Don’t Starve so I have literally no idea what’s going on with the game now, but I thought I’d post my rantings and ravings from 2019-20 about the Ancients and all that stuff. It’s pretty incomprehensible.

Bonus cameo featuring @theblueskyphoenix‘s OC, Laika! Congrats on having the only Ancient-related OC at that time lol

So i was wondering.. how in the hell she ended up in the caves?

And how did Ancient Fuelweaver was able to be here?

Ok I know this isn’t my thing but I have a theory for the ancients in don’t starve together, all info gathered from the wiki, specifically the pages for the Metheus puzzles and the ancient fuelweaver.

So, the ancients. The mysterious race of intelligent bug-like beings who inhabited the constant long before the survivors. They lived primarily underground, (after choosing to move there to hide from the harsh climates and/or to escape the watchful eye of their god, the moon “Alter”.) in what is now known as the ruins.

In their society, there were two leaders- Metheus and (who is currently known as) the ancient fuelweaver, But back then was known as Cyclum. Metheus (based off of the mythological greek legend of Prometheus who brought fire to humanity) who wielded the light that kept the shadows at bay, and Fuelweaver, who wielded a staff of some kind (perhaps magical, I’m not sure.).

The civilization was prosperous, with plenty of food (mainly carrots/other vegetables based off the illustrations), building resources (most likely thulecite) and weaponry, should they need it.

While this was going on, at the heart of the city lied the Ancient Gateway (which may or may not have been used as a power source), which was protected by Metheus and Fuelweaver, and was maintained using the balanced powers of light and dark.

Then, Fuelweaver began to dabble more and more in shadow magic, using it to care for his people; using it to feed the weak/young, to build more effectively, to further crop growth and to produce materials (and possibly to reanimate the dead, though I’m uncertain). However, Metheus had a bad feeling about this, clinging to her to torch tightly, while both of them were unaware of Gateway losing its stability, the dark magic now dominating the light. The people began to favor FW over Metheus for his heroic deeds as well.

Eventually, the constant use of the dark magic causes the Gateway to become unstable, and darkness begins to seep out of it, along with waves of nightmare creatures. Fuelweaver is unable to fight off the shadows and collapses, expecting his demise- but then, Metheus comes to his aid, using her light as a shield to protect fuelweaver, and in the process, sacrificing herself in order to protect him. After witnessing the death of his close friend, and seeing the corpses of his citizens littering the ground, the fuelweaver dragged himself to the nightmare throne, seating himself upon it in a final attempt to stop the rampaging shadows that took everything from him. (It could just be a normal throne, but it is also highly likely to be the nightmare throne). Completely alone, seated on the throne, the lone former ruler of the ancients wept, for his friend, for his people, and at his ignorance.

Eventually, the fuelweaver was consumed by the darkness, being reduced to a haunted skeleton and (after either being replaced or by some other means) eventually became the beast we all know, still protecting the Gateway as he once did.

The tale of Cyclum and Metheus may be a parallel to Maxwell and Charlie, albeit with many differences. Dude messes around with shadow magic that scares his gal pal, said shadow magic comes back to bite him in the ass, they lose everything including their humanity, and ultimately end up with no bitches. You know how when Maxwell was freed from the nightmare throne he was turned into a skeleton? Maybe FW is a skeleton as a result of being removed from the throne.

Hai. want a creature

#Might draw them randomly when I have time or sm #*combines all my interests in an oc* #I should come up with a nickname for them. #Btw they tried asking fuelweaver about the ancients once and that's why they're missing half their mask. Fuelweaver's not very nice :( #when around the gateway at least #Edited the image hopefully the quality is decent this time #nvm might just be tumblr quality

[vixenbuck]
