Sanji (One Piece)

I was watching the filler episodes 291/292 that take place in an imaginary Edo Period world and I immediately fell in love with Sanji's look. Actually, scratch that, EVERYONE has such a banger wardrobe it's insane. I couldn't stop ogling everyone. I don't know who came up with the designs but they were definitely smoking the good stuff.

Chapter 9

Eldritch Corruption: Human

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20857010/chapters/52812334

A world of shadow begets ever more darkness, the clutching fingers of night and doom never resting in their quest to squeeze every last drop of hope and resistance from those that lingered in it. The damned clawed their own eyes from their skulls in the deepest, most desperate desire to escape it, and yet it still seeped into their minds, their hearts… their very souls.

It twisted them all, flesh and blood and bone, and still there was no relief, naught but the release of death the promise to end the madness.

It ate them all to damnation, and cared not.

Yet in the most encompassing dark, there was light, bright as flame, guiding and true.

It came in the most unexpected of ways and forms, so fragile that a breeze disturbed it… a mere insect, graceful and fleeting. It rode the winds that reeked with disease and the end of all, above reproach and corruption like none else in the world.

It carried on with single-minded purpose, knowing of things no mere bug ever could, moving the most reluctant and unsure to action and greatness. It stood in the path of destruction despite the pain it would suffer, and knew no fear.

It had the bearing of one now passed, an angel and a savior, and could tell none of the truth of it.

It mattered not. Anonymity had been her way in life; it suited the butterfly just fine to toil in silence and unrecognized deference. There were more things at stake than ego. There was the universe to save, numberless souls to redeem… an innocent’s way to guide.

And so the insect carried on, the only light within a world of nightmares and eternal night, come whatever end.

She would go to her end when her work was done, and not a moment before.

Just a Dream|| Kyoko and Tohru

Tohru had always tried to remain level headed when it came to exams. She knew that stressing out over them would only cause more harm than good, and if she just kept focus and studied as much as she could without overdoing it, she would be in good hands. But this time, for whatever reason, exams got to her. She was running thin between errands for the house, work, after school study groups, and then studying at home. Perhaps it was because these were important. They were the last set of exams before finals, before the final finals...the last that she would ever take in high school. They would determine her final grades, and where she stood at graduation, they would make or break how her transcripts looked if she ever decided to go on to college...they were important.

And she was wearing herself ragged. Taking advice from Shigure and Yuki, she put down the books and leaned back in her chair, stretching her arms above her head and yawning widely. She needed a break. Her head was pounding and her stomach was growling, and her eyelids were drooping heavier by the minute. She dragged herself downstairs to poke around in the fridge, but finding nothing that would be a quick snack, she resigned to a couple slices of bread and cheese, and slumped back upstairs. One look at her desk-papers and pens everywhere, books lying open and in stacks around the desk on the floor- and she was discouraged, not to mention exhausted.

"I won't be getting anything done like this..." she muttered to herself, rubbing at her eyes tiredly. Finally, with a heavy sigh, she turned from her studies and rolled onto her bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin.

"Just a quick nap...five minutes....thats all..." she mumbled, falling asleep within a matter of minutes.

Tohru found herself walking down a park path. It was sunny, warm for a late fall day, but pleasant, so she couldn't complain. Wooden benches lined the path here and there, separated by beds of flowers and lamp posts. It was a gorgeous park, and she wondered how she had never walked it before. She had always meant to, but it was out of the way from her path home or to school, even with work or errands, it just never seemed to be convenient, so she just never considered it. Now that she knew though, she would have to make it a point to come here more often. The trees were lovely, even in their dormant state gearing up for winter, and the large pond that the park seemed to have at its center was well kept and glassy looking. Not yet frozen over, just calm and still.

Ahead, Tohru could see a person-a woman, sitting on one of the benches. She was looking out over the pond, and the simple image made Tohru smile. It was nice to see someone just taking a moment to appreciate lifes simple pleasures. A nice fall day, a beautiful bit of scenery. Too often people just ignored all of these things for their hectic lives. No wonder there was so much sadness, when no one could stop to appreciate what was around them. As she passed the woman, she gave her a friendly nod and waved at her quickly, flashing her a smile, but it wasn't until she passed her completely that it clicked who the woman was. Tohru stopped in her tracks at the same time it felt like her heart stopped.

The woman...younger, a red jacket, short red hair, a black skirt and boots...auburn eyes. She knew her. Of course she knew her, how could she ever forget that face, that style, that small, satisfied smile that seemed to constantly tug at the corner of her mouth. With a hitched breath, Tohru turned around slowly to look at her again. Maybe she just looked similar. That had to be it. After all, it was said that everyone has at least six people in the world who look exactly like them. But no...the woman was looking back at her, grinning, her arms folded over her stomach, very relaxed. She felt her feet move forward, closer to her now, her hands shaking nervously. But there was no way this could be possible.

"M-mom?"

theredbutterfly started following you

Par for the course, Kureno wasn't quite paying attention to where he'd been going. Though, of course, this outing to the outside world was sanctioned- a shortage of people in the main house meant that he'd been sent to pick up a few necessary items.

He stumbled when he realized that he'd almost walked into something. It took him a few moments to blink and collect himself before he'd gathered enough of his wits to to the stranger he'd almost knocked over.

"My apologies, Miss," he said kindly, smile distant and guarded but warm. "I suppose my head was in the clouds- a bad habit of mine."

Crowned With Sharp White Stars

Legolas Thranduilion (Tolkien universe)

Stringing the bow and fitting an arrow he turned, peering back over the River into the darkness. Across the water there were shrill cries, but nothing could be seen. Frodo looked up at the Elf standing tall above him, as he gazed into the night, seeking a mark to shoot at. His head was dark, crowned with sharp white stars that glittered in the black pools of the sky behind. But now rising and sailing up from the South the great clouds advanced, sending out dark outriders into the starry fields. A sudden dread fell on the Company. `Elbereth Gilthoniel!' sighed Legolas as he looked up. Even as he did so, a dark shape, like a cloud and yet not a cloud, for it moved far more swiftly, came out of the blackness in the South, and sped towards the Company, blotting out all light as it approached. Soon it appeared as a great winged creature, blacker than the pits in the night. Fierce voices rose up to greet it from across the water. Frodo felt a sudden chill running through him and clutching at his heart; there was a deadly cold, like the memory of an old wound, in his shoulder. He crouched down, as if to hide. Suddenly the great bow of Lórien sang. Shrill went the arrow from the elven-string. Frodo looked up. Almost above him the winged shape swerved. There was a harsh croaking scream, as it fell out of the air, vanishing down into the gloom of the eastern shore. The sky was clean again. There was a tumult of many voices far away, cursing and wailing in the darkness, and then silence. Neither shaft nor cry came again from the east that night."

Commission for @fishing4stars who brought to me this WONDERFUL idea and gave me the opportunity to explore a night time scene with my markers. Thank you so much and I hope you like it (I already know you do hehe). I'M JUST SO PROUD OF HOW IT CAME OUT.

The Oldest Of Friends

Day 2: Friends & Love | Rain & Clouds

Second day of @manweweek AND IT'S STILL TUESDAY, I'M ON TIME! I love their friendship so much (@cilil baby girl, I know you wanna ship them, you have my permission go ahead, go ham, green light means go) so so much, I think it was one of the things that first stuck with me when I read the silm. I mean, unless I imagined the whole thing. Wasn't there something about them working together?? Correct me if I'm wrong XD

Anyway, I REALLY wanted to draw Manwë under the rain, I'm doing everything on a time crunch but I would love to try again with more time and mind to put into it.

Day 1: Family | Breath & Air @manweweek

First day of Manwë week ya'll! My favourite boy ever <3 I am SO under prepared but you bet your ass I'm going to do every single day of this thing. Lets be honest though, I probably wont post or finish anything on time ✨

Breath and Air as my inspiration for the soft redesign I'm attempting to do here. Is it very different from how I usually draw him? Not really? Do I care? Heck no, look at how gorgeous he is!!

Now. Someone plis tell me if they like this the design more than the one I usually do 👁

These are some designs, sketches and tests I did before I begun my piece There's An Unusual Guest In Our House for TRSB. I'll be honest, I had SO much fun with (almost) every aspect of the creation of this piece. But mainly just figuring out Thranduil gown and how it's going to be. For as much as I like how he's dressed in the movies I DO get tired of drawing the same outfits over and over again. And I honestly think his move design is missing some green, but that's a whole 'nother topic.

One thing that I'm just noticing is that the gold neckline in some of these is much lower than in the final piece, and i do like it lower... Hmm, maybe next time.

Thank's again to @scary-grace for choosing and writing for this piece. I just CANNOT wait to read it!!

Wont You Say Anything?

Manwë & Varda (Tolkien universe)

Day 6: Fallen | Storm @manweweek

Please beloved, tell me what is wrong? Please, my lord. Why won't you say anything? My Love? Manwë?

This is technically a continuation of this comic strip -> Eru's Instrument I did it a year or two ago? In it Manwë has a not so good, very bad day because of daddy dearest.

This is technically the third part of this whole thing BUT, where's the second part you might be asking? If that comic is the fist? Well, the second part is supposed to be another comic but i haven't actually drawn it 😬 But it's planned at least? I'll happen eventually? So yay?

Roronoa Zoro & Sanji (One Piece)

Very self indulgent AU, I literally just wanted to turn Sanji into a fox, the world is my oyster ✨ Though I don't know if I'll ever get to really really write it. Here's hoping for the best 🤞🏼

In the first one, Sanji is grieving because he'll never be human again and Zoro gets ONE freebie. But as soon as he's okay again Sanji's going to chomp off one of Zoro's ears.

If you're curious, feel free to send me an ask 😁

Where Is He?

Varda & Ulmo (Tolkien universe)

Day 7: Freeform @manweweek

It's like he's vanished from Arda. Like he was never at all.

BEHOLD! The much awaited continuation of this first comic -> Eru's Instrument . And then eventually the half finding of Manwë over here -> Won't You Say Anything?

Funny how this comic doesn't feature Manwë at all? It all about him thought, never doubt that!

The context for this is, after sinking the isle of Númenor Manwë can't cope with the implications of what he did/was made to do. He involuntarily breaks and skaters all through Arda. Yes, indeed the solution to mental anguish is breaking yourself into such small pieces you won't have a consciousness to even think anyone ✨

@cilil has been very vocal of her love for this AU. Just yesterday she wrote something heavily inspired by the universe!! -> Story Go take a look as well, such good food. Friend, thank you for feeding the fires of my creativity and making this AU continue to blossom.
