#abigail wittebane toh

[bloominglifedyinglife]

So I talked about this in a previous post with @jess-the-vampire​ but I’m working on a TOH au of my own.

It mostly takes place in the present time, but the basis is that when Caleb and Philip arrived in the Boiling Isles their parents went with them.

The parents end up taking on the role of villain that Philip had in canon, but none of these four die in any final confrontation.

I’m not that brave.

I did some redraws of the pictures I had posted last time.

So here’s Nicholas Wittebane!

He has the same kind of curse as Philip, but his is more severe because he uses the consuming palisman method. Please don’t judge me on how I drew his beard, it was a sketching accident at first, and when I actually noticed it, I re-sketched it with the beard and I fell in love. I can’t draw him without his beard like that now.

His wife, Abigail Wittebane, it seems I’m intent on making the forelocks a common genetic on both sides of the family.

Her marks are a scar from an injury, not a curse. She wasn’t careful when tending to her husband while he was dealing with his curse, and well.... Let’s just say she was more careful from then on.

And some new pictures.

Here’s Caleb Wittebane-Clawthorne. I made him a bit more scruffy in the hair as well as give him more age in his face. He is not cursed, so most of his physical aging comes from stress. His scar is a result of a fight with his parents.

And of course, what kind of person would I be if I didn’t have Philip done as well.

Instead of the scar being a result of his curse, his scar is a result of a fight he had with his parents. His recovery gave Caleb a heart attack because he nearly died several times due to the severity, and they couldn’t get to a healer right away. His curse is “handled”, so his curse isn’t visible. The lines on this one might look different compared to the others because this was the first one I did with my new drawing tablet and I was still getting used to how to handle it.

And of course, the main star of my au, and the first sketch I had actually done, Hunter Redferne!!!

Hunter grew up and was raised in the Human Realm, but he was in an orphanage, so he wasn’t exactly happy with where he was. His last name was given by his caretakers because when he was found he was wrapped in a red blanket, with dried ferns caught in the folds. As I said in a previous post, Hunter WILL have magic, but still has to do it differently because the ‘natural way’ doesn’t work for him. Like how Luz uses glyphs because she can’t do spell circles.

I have a couple of rough sketches that I had before I ended up with these designs, unfortunately, I only still have the ones for Hunter because the other ones met an untimely end in the kitchen sink (don’t ask, please). I love Hunter’s original design, but I love braids, and I figure Hunter raised in the Human Realm would probably grow his hair out and put it up. I also wanted my Hunter to be a little more distinctive from others as well as show how him growing in a different environment would affect his physical appearance. I will work on getting full body designs out soon.

I do have a reason for his facial scar, but that’s if people get interested on later posts.

I’m not sure on what to call this AU yet, but I will take suggestions.

Not that anyone will read this.

No context for her yet, except Abigail is my imagination for a Wittebane Sister.

I drew her during school- maybe I take mum colours with me and draw something more colourful lol

guess who just finished harrow the ninth (i’m gonna kms)

AHHHHHHDHSJNSJSHGWJSJHEBSUHSBE

anyway here are my chronological thoughts from earlier

god. rereading parts of the book, you can see she almost never says ortus/gideon’s name aloud. jesus. tasmyn muir u are insane

i have no caption i just love gideon 

hot 

THEM. god.

all these characters are so fun to read about. i’m glad we got to see more of abigail this book 

PRO NOOOO

something about harrow having no one growing up but then have all these people willing to risk their lives again to exorcise a ghost from her body is just. goddamn. 

OH GOD MAGNUS

one thing about gideon nav is she will be injured and in a foreign body and alone on a god’s spaceship-house and still keep a kill count 

something something love triangle 

oh this is so juicy 

SHE KEPT THE SUNGLASSES. (not to sound like a broken record but. god.)

oh. ow

i am going to cry on this fucking train 

absolutely amazing how this book can make me go from internally sobbing to cackling 

oh shit. ortus. no don’t die dude. (he was growing on me. and he means so much to harrow)

quick break to say that i noticed anastasia’s cav was named samael novenary, and wasn’t that the name of the chain or whatever that harrow nova had?

oh???? who is this????

MATTHIAS NONUIS????

okay not to bring up toh but the sleeper saying “i killed wizard’s filth like you all my life” is giving philip wittebane idk (also makes me think that the sleeper is maybe someone from before the ressurection?)

god, the way harrow thinks of gideon even when she’s not there, how she’d act, what she’d say…

LMFAO great callback

i think i forgot to post this but btw when corona came back i grinned so hard i missed her sm

oh no. noooooo. 

abigail saying she feels responsible for harrow is sO—

god this is all too much i’m gonna cry 

commander wake— who’s that again? the dude from the blood of eden? or someone else?

what the FUCK is going on?? mercy was working for wake??? huh????

gideons mom is WAKE?! (not confirmed yet but. that’s what i’m getting. right? bc it was nineteen years ago??)

“the woman i was pretty sure was actually my mother—wearing the body of a woman i’d had a crush on, who in turn had been wearing the identity of a woman she’d murdered, until i fell on a spike so that my boss could kill her—craned her head around in her bonds” well. that’s one hell of a sentence.

oh my god. oh my god.

ALECTO?????????

OH ALECTO IS HARROWS FREEZER MEAT GIRLFRIEND 

wait is she???? i’m confused 

oh. god is dead. holy fuck

oh. god is no longer dead. what the fuck 

how the hell do you even pronounce pyrrah dve

does gideon have three fathers (god gideon the prequel and pyrrah dve fucking apparently)

IS IANTHE DEAD

IS GIDEON DEAD

IS HARROW DEAD?!???

okay okay whoever that is in the epilogue (who i’m guessing is nona) is being cared for by judith corona and cam right??

WHY DOES IT ONLY SAY GIDEON WILL RETURN HARROWS NOT DEAD RIGHT

SHHHHEJSBAKMS

Hey there! Sorry for the pause in art! Helping out with hay bailing doesn't exactly leaves the arms in a 'I-want-to-draw' state.

Anyways, I had wanted to upload some pictures for my TOH AU when I realized that I had nothing about Nicholas and Abigail beyond their initial face sketches!!!

So here's some for you guys!!

The first picture is Nicholas in his emperor's armor, as I haven't gotten around to drawing his outer garb yet. The diamonds adorning his outfit are not for decoration, rather they are the main 'source' of Nicholas's artificial magic. Unlike Philip, Nicholas does not have a love for machinery, (nor is he keen on inflicting self harm to try and use glyphs), so Nicholas would struggle a lot in learning to make his artificial magic work for him.

For a long time, Nicholas refused to even entertain the idea of creating artificial magic. It took him even longer to figure out how to make it work, not to mention learning to wield it. He eventually got the hang of working with his gadgets. He even tried making smaller trinkets to get the idea on how to make something work. Once he was down with them however, he would just have them tossed. Not even being useful enough to be scrapped as that point.

I would like to add it that Philip would then find these trinkets in the garbage dump and take them to improve them. Insulting whoever made them in the first place as the designs were horrible.

One of the reasons he has so many stabilizing crystals is because they help control his artificial magic when he has to use it on a large scale. They also help with keeping his curse in check from small outbursts. He still needs palisman for when the curse goes too far, but they have thus far prevented a repeat of the incident with his wife.

Abigail on the other hand, as a more modest outfit, following the ideals of 'women should always wear dresses' that she and her husband were born into. The outfit is about 17th century-ish, definitely not from the era they came from.

One thing that Abigail does not embrace about their cultural upbringing is her lack of control as a woman. Even centuries later she still has to fight her husband on the right to have any control. Especially once they both became Emperor and Empress of the Boiling Isles. Part of her duty as Empress is the management of the Isles, from creating the laws, to making sure that schools keep to the 'single-track' study to enforce the Coven System.

The only reason she has any say at all is because the people of the Isles expect her to.

Just like how despite us knowing how canon!Belos would have felt about same sex relationships, or gender change, or even sex before marriage, Belos DIDN'T DO anything about it. That was because it was a part of the Boiling Isles, the people never saw anything wrong with it. It would have been harder to convince the people that their way of life regarding their genders, sexuality, and acceptance of all of it was wrong compared to getting everyone to follow the Coven System. So Belos had no choice but to ignore it and act like he accepted it just like them.

It's the same thing here, despite the people of the Boiling Isles being new to the idea of having rulers over the Isles, they still expected them BOTH to have a say. Abigail keeps hold on this right with an iron fist.

And I will say this now, Abigail's chest gem is NOT like Eda's It serves a different purpose entirely.

I wanted to draw more of these two so I went ahead and drew them as chibis!! Don't they both look vicious?
