Relief (Blade x gn!reader)

@genshin-obsessed so I heard u like Blade 👀

Summary: After being cursed with immortality by the Abundance, you joined the Stellaron Hunters as a doctor. Today, your most stubborn patient finally comes to you for help. Words: 835 Warnings: reader is implied to be shorter than Blade & can be held in his lap (but our Bladie is a strong boy so he can hold anybody uwu)

You muttered to yourself as you walked around your office, organizing your medicines and checking equipment. As the only doctor in service of the Stellaron Hunters, it was important for you to keep everything in tip-top shape in case of emergencies. Although Elio usually told you in advance if a mission would be particularly bloody, there was always the possibility he would withhold one of his predictions. You couldn’t get complacent.

Despite your regular interactions with the other Stellaron Hunters, you felt you couldn't truly connect with any of your “teammates”: Kafka was always inscrutable, Silver Wolf seemed to treat reality like a game, and Blade… Blade was the only one who you thought could understand you. You had both been cursed by the Abundance in your own ways, after all. But after he ignored your attempts at friendship for so long, you had resigned yourself to an eternity of loneliness in your empty office.

You were snapped out of your thoughts by a knock on your door. You paused for a moment. Neither Kafka nor Silver Wolf were due for an appointment, leaving only one other person…

You opened the door to see Blade standing with his arms crossed. His expression betrayed nothing of what he felt, but you could see a tension in his shoulders. He didn’t speak as you blinked up at him in surprise.

“Blade. Come in,” you said, stepping aside to let him enter.

Blade went to sit down in his usual spot, and you quickly busied yourself gathering the necessary materials to make the painkiller you devised specifically for his condition. You couldn’t mix the medicine in advance, as its effectiveness faded quickly with time, so you always kept the raw ingredients on hand.

You glanced over your shoulder at Blade. Your gaze flicked over his body as you observed him. To the untrained eye, Blade seemed fine as ever, if a little irritated, but you knew how to read him after having treated him for so long. You could tell he was holding back more pain than usual. The fact that he was here of his own volition told you all that you needed to know.

You took a breath, then walked over to him. The medicine you made would work in time, but you could provide him with a more immediate source of relief. Gently, you reached out and pressed a hand to his chest.

He stiffened at the contact but didn't push you away. You closed your eyes and poured your energy into him, letting it wash over him and dull his pain. You focused until you felt Blade’s breathing grow more even and his muscles relax.

You felt lightheaded as you pulled back. The process had taken much longer than you anticipated and had cost much more of your energy as well.

You tried to step away toward the counter, not wanting to linger too long in Blade’s personal space, but a wave of dizziness hit you and you stumbled. Before you could hit the floor, Blade caught you in his arms.

“What did you do?” he asked, panic bleeding into his voice.

You knew you would recover in time—the Abundance’s curse would not let you go so easily—but the pain was still nearly unbearable. Your breathing was shallow and your vision blurry. Blade adjusted his grip on you and pulled you into his lap. His arms shook slightly as he held you.

“I’m sorry… I just wanted to help…” Your voice was weak and shaky as you spoke. “It… it'll pass… I'll be okay…”

Though you said this, you were still on the verge of tears. You were not like Blade—you hadn’t spent an eternity in combat and had yet to become numb to the pain of pushing your body to the limit. What he bore with a straight face was agony for you. You tried to hold back a whimper.

Blade tightened his grip around you.

“Why?” he asked.

“I… just wanted to give you some relief…” you said. You pinched your eyes shut to try to block out the pain. “Did… did it work, at least?”

Blade was silent for a while. Then, he pulled you closer, letting your head rest against his chest as his breath fanned over your face. 

“…Yes,” he said. “Don’t do it again.”

“…Sorry…” You breathed out, letting your eyes fall shut. After what you had done, you were completely exhausted, and Blade's embrace was so warm… You fell asleep to the steady rhythm of his heart, for once free of worries as Blade held you close.

The next day, Kafka would enter your office only to see Blade glaring at her to stay silent. You were still slumbering in his arms. He had stayed in that same position all night, not caring about the fatigue in his muscles nor the ache that came with it. Kafka smiled knowingly, holding back her teasing words—if only for now—as she closed the door, leaving Blade alone with you.

The Arcana HCs: M6 as unhinged childhood stories

~ all of these stories are from my childhood with two younger siblings. And yes, the most embarrassing ones here were me. Good luck guessing which >:3 - brainrot ~

- all instances are set when said children were still with their families. In Muriel's case that is unfortunately an alternate universe. The Devorak siblings have shorter stories because there is bonus content of both of them at the end -

Julian (eight years old, with three year old Portia)

He can't sleep

Which is when he has his first unfortunate thought: I'm as awake now as I am during the day. I get to play during the day. What's stopping me from playing now?

So he gets up and starts to quietly play with a toy or two

Which wakes Portia up

"Ilya, what are you doing?"

It's not her fault that he can't sleep. She doesn't need to suffer too

"Go back to sleep Pasha, since you're able to."

Portia doesn't like being left out. She gets up and dumps out every toy in the room so they can play together

Julian goes ahead and lights the lantern, because why not

He thinks they should prepare a nice surprise for when his parents wake up

"Pasha, let's make a circus for them!"

"Okay! I'll practice my running!"

Readers, be advised: neither of them had seen a circus before. It was briefly mentioned in one or two picture books

Julian remembers descriptions of confetti at parades. He decides to make his own out of his school notebooks. He doesn't need them anyway

He briefly pauses to fashion himself a cape from a blanket. He's the leader, because he's the oldest, and circus leaders have capes

Having cut ten full pages of paper into very small pieces, he wants to see what it looks like when they float down from the sky

This is the scene that their poor parents open the door to:

Pasha, feverishly running laps around the room, dodging scattered toys with Olympian dexterity, as Ilya poses grandly on a chair dragged to the center of the chaos, tossing tiny scraps of paper in the air with dramatic flourishes of his cape as he shrieks "Confetti! Confetti!" at the top of his little lungs

Asra: (2 1/2 years old)

Asra doesn't care for discomfort. They will do almost anything to avoid pain of any kind

He doesn't like pooping. He gets dehydrated easily because normal water isn't exciting enough to remember to drink, and the resulting constipation makes pooping unpleasant

Being a generally easy-going toddler, it's surprising how fixated they can get once they decide they will or won't do something

He has decided that he is not going to poop

They frequently get the urge to do so, which leads to them doing all sorts of funny hops and poses to try to keep it in

Aisha and Salim aren't fools. They know what's going on with their two-year-old

"Asra? Do you need the lavatory, my baby?"

Cue a very strained smile on a tiny face glowing with effort: "Nope! I'm just dancing. I just felt like dancing. I'm only dancing."

Eventually it becomes clear that he's not going to give in. Aisha and Salim make the mistake of assuming that it'll happen one way or another. They underestimate him

After a full twelve days passes with no success at convincing them to poop, they take them to the doctor with the concern that their baby couldn't poop now even if they wanted to

The doctor is very sympathetic

Unfortunately, he only has adult-strength laxatives available

The doctor tells Aisha and Salim to give Asra a quarter of the suggested dosage. They give him his first tiny spoonful and go home for an afternoon nap

Asra is no fool. They know there is something mysterious and powerful in the large bottle they only got an intriguing taste of

He's usually pretty docile and sleepy around nap time, but the thought of it is driving him to distraction, so he decides to investigate while his unsuspecting parents doze

When Aisha and Salim wake up an hour later, the tightly sealed bottle previously hidden in the back of the cabinet is in the middle of the table, open, on its side, and completely empty

Salim turns to Aisha and tells her, "this is about to be either the scariest, or the funniest afternoon of our lives."

Over the course of the next three and a half hours, Salim follows a frantically energetic, deeply confused, and extremely frustrated Asra around the house, cleaning up little pile after little pile

Aisha still doesn't know why neither of them thought of putting him back in diapers for that afternoon

Nadia: (2 1/2 years old)

She developed her fashion sense at a very young age

She would run through the halls of the Prakran royal residence, wearing one (1) article of clothing at a time, asking every older sister she encountered "Does this match?"

"Match what? You're not wearing anything else."

Cue a patronizing sigh: "But does it match?"

"... Yes?"

This would continue for the better part of the morning

She would change outfits a minimum of four times a day, usually closer to seven or eight:

One for breakfast. One for after breakfast. One for lunch. One for schoolwork. One for playtime. One for evening. One for dinner. One for after dinner. One for bedtime

Speaking of bedtime, Nadia wasn't particularly fond of lying quietly in the dark until she fell asleep. It was boring

Every night for months, this was her cue to roll out of bed, toddle over to the shelves and chest that held her clothes, and do some fashion planning for the day ahead

One by one she would unfold and lift out a piece of clothing, briefly scrutinizing it before declaring "this doesn't match" and throwing it over her shoulder without a second glance

Her sisters knew what she was doing - every night it would be five minutes of quiet before they'd hear her imperious little voice floating through the darkness:

"This doesn't match. This doesn't match. This doesn't match. This doesn't match. This doesn't match ..."

And every morning her maids would nearly tear their hair out with frustration at the prospect of collecting dozens of tiny clothes off of the floor, refolding, and organizing them back in their places

Bonus scene:

Nadia: *walks into the pantry*

Nazali: *caught with a piece of stolen cake halfway in their mouth*

Nadia: Did Baba say you could have cake?

Nazali: I'll give you some of mine if you promise not to tell

Nadia: Okay

Nazali: *hands her the bigger half of their stolen slice*

Nadia: *eats the whole thing in three seconds*

Nadia: *stares Nazali dead in the eyes*

Nadia, sprinting out of the pantry: BABAAA! NAZALI'S EATING CAKE AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TELL YOUUU!!!

Muriel: (seven years old)

He loves his parents. He wants to do something nice for them

He decides to make them breakfast in bed

He doesn't tell anyone about his plans

He wakes himself up two hours before his parents and heads into the kitchen

Has he cooked breakfast before? No, but he's seen his parents do it often enough to know the process

He has a menu planned: tea, oats, and eggs

He decides to make the tea first. He doesn't like how tea always burns his tongue when he drinks it. Grown-ups always make it too hot. So he plops two teabags in some mugs and adds some room temperature water. He leaves them to soak

He knows it can take a while for oats to cook. He takes several fistfuls and puts them in a small pot. He thinks there's supposed to be milk too, so he adds plenty of that. He puts it on the fire and moves on to the next stage

Omelets are his comfort zone. He's made them before with his parent's help. He knows how to crack and scramble the eggs and roll them around in the pan

However, he likes his omelets without anything in them. His parents like to add all kinds of things, like vegetables. And spices.

His logic is as follows: Grown-ups like unpleasant things in their omelets. Therefore, to make omelets they will like, he must find unpleasant things to put in them

He finds a forgotten hunk of very old, very dry, very sour, slightly moldy cheddar, and a jar of whole cloves

He can't find a grater

He breaks the chunk in half and drops one in the middle of each omelet

The omelets are yellow and perfectly cooked, with a rubbery disc of old melted cheese in the middle and dark spots of clove throughout. It smells even more unpleasant than he hoped. He's very proud

The oats have been boiling this whole time, but he never saw them thicken because he never stirred them. When the surface of the milk finally boils down to the oats at the bottom, he removes them from the heat

He drops the pot

He reflexively bops the falling pot like a volleyball, hitting it so quickly that it doesn't burn him, and watches in awe as it sails through the air and lands on the other side of the kitchen

When he goes to pick it up the oats haven't even budged

Muriel's parents wake up to a tray containing rock solid burnt oats, water with teabag essence, and clove and cheese omelets

He sits at the foot of their bed and watches them excitedly, never tearing his gaze away, until they both clear their plates of all their food

They politely decline his offer of seconds. He assumes it's because he already used up all the cheese

Portia: (three years old)

It's no secret that she likes anything sweet

Desserts, candy, pastries, you name it. If it has sugar, she loves it

Her older brother Ilya likes sweets too. She loves her older brother Ilya

Her older brother Ilya loves her too. Her older brother Ilya doesn't like sweets as much as he loves her. If she asks with a cute enough face, he'll give her his share most of the time

Which is why it is perfectly acceptable for her to go ahead and eat both portions whenever someone gives her something sweet and tells her that "this piece is for your brother."

Her parents begin to wonder why she's having sugar crashes so often

Her older brother Ilya is beginning to wonder why he never gets nice snacks any more

She does a good job of staying under the radar, eating her piece where the adults can see her and then using the moment she slips through a door or hallway to scarf down her brother's

She flies a little too close to the sun one day

Some nice merchant friends drop by, bearing a massive box of chocolate as a gift to the family, and make the mistake of leaving it out on the table

While they visit and chatter, she pulls the whole tray out of the box and leaves it closed on the table while she makes off with the goods

With his parent's blessing, Ilya goes to enjoy a piece after the friends leave and discovers the empty box

Portia does not respond when they call her name

Ilya does some amateur sleuthing by following the trail of chocolate wrappers through every corner of the boat

He finally finds Portia by staying very quiet in the hold, until he hears the rustling of a wrapper being opened behind a stack of crates

The stomachache she develops from half a pound of chocolate puts her off of sweets for a while

In her agony she confesses to stealing all of Ilya's desserts and he refuses to play with her for the rest of the afternoon

Lucio: (two years old)

Lucio likes attention. Lucio likes his mother's attention

Unfortunately, his mother spends most of the day busy, and he doesn't like the severity of his punishments when he does something bad enough to get her attention while she's busy

He waits until she's home in the evening to get her attention

One of the small ways Morga indulges him is by giving him a few minutes of time when she puts him to bed. She'll smooth the hair out of his eyes, press a peck to his forehead, and tuck him into his furs

Which is why he'll wait all of two minutes before getting back out of bed and slowly, impudently, walking to the side of the hall lit by the hearth fires

As soon as he's caught, he'll turn tail and make a mad dash for his bed, taking a flying leap onto the pallet and assuming the ostrich position with his head buried in the furs and his rump pointed at the ceiling

And every time, Morga will chase him back, give a few perfunctory swats to his bold little behind, and tuck him back in bed

Rinse and repeat

The other clansmen think it's hilarious. They'll take seats around the fire that give them a clear view of the darkened end of the hall, watching for a little blond head to come bobbling into the light

It becomes a game. As soon as he passes a certain piece of flooring, they'll yell out in chorus: "Montag's out of bed!" and the chase will begin

Until one evening, when the clansmen wonder what would happen if he was able to get farther than that piece of flooring

He makes it to the flooring. He pauses. He scoots a little further. Nothing happens.

He takes one more step, plants his feet, and with all the strength of his tiny lungs, he yells -

"MONTAG! OUTA! BEEDDD!!!"

It was shortly after this development that Morga only tucked him in once a night. After a few cranky days of keeping himself awake trying to get in trouble, Lucio gave it up

Devorak sibling's double trouble (AU in which the Old Testament exists and their parents teach it to them)

Ilya and Pasha's parents receive a letter from Tasya with the following story about her daughter Lishka:

Lishka's favorite stuffed animal is a sheep. Its name is Lambie

Lishka dreams of having a "real, live pet Lambie" to play with every day. Unfortunately, that's not in the cards for her

Some friends of theirs let them stay at their house while the ship is docked. To celebrate the get together, the family plans a feast for the last day of the visit

The traditional dish they wish to serve is roast mutton. As they do not have a refrigerator, they purchase a live sheep and keep it in their yard until the festivities

Lishka loves the sheep. She calls it her "real, live pet Lambie" and plays with it every day. She makes flower crowns for it. She gives it lots of hugs

Tasya and the hosts tell Lishka that "this lambie is just visiting for a bit, and then it's going home."

They schedule the butcher to come while Lishka's on an outing. They clean up all the evidence. They forget about the horns

Lishka comes back from playing in the yard, sobbing, a bloody horn in each hand as she tearfully informs her mother that "my real, live pet Lambie's gone!"

Tasya and the Devorak parents think it's darkly hilarious. Ilya and Pasha feel deeply for Lishka's loss

Over lunch, Ilya asks Pasha who she's going to marry when she grows up. Pasha responds with, "I'm going to marry you!"

Ilya says, "you can't do that. It's not allowed."

"Oh."

"So which of the sailors are you going to marry when you grow up?"

"I don't know." The three-ear-old looks down at her half-finished lunch and she shrugs. "All of them, I guess."

Ilya gasps and drops his fork. "You can't do that! That's commit adultery!"

Pasha freezes, eyes wide with horror. Ilya continues:

"And do you know what commit adultery means?"

Pasha slowly shakes her. Ilya thunders on, adopting the attitude of an angry preacher he saw in a town square once

"It means do adultery. And do you know, what do adultery means?"

Pasha shudders and shakes her head again, hanging on her brother's words like gospel

It is at this moment that their silently amused mother remembers that their father had told them an abridged version of David and Bathsheba's story that morning

Ilya takes a deep breath and continues his sermon like it's the world's worst horror story:

"Do adultery would be like if you had one real live pet Lambie, and you loved it like it was your own baby. And Do Adultery is like if someone came over, and Papa didn't want to feed them any of his own sheep, so he took your real live pet Lambie and he killed it and he fed it to the guests."

Silence. Ilya resumes his meal. Pasha stares blankly at the opposite wall, contemplating the mysteries of death. Their mother's shoulders shake with suppressed laughter

Finally, Pasha clears her throat and sweetly sings a funeral dirge for the dear departed Lambie, making a grave mispronounciation at the end:

"Lishka had a little lamb ... its feast was white as snow."

(A/N: the only proof I have that all of this really happened is that you can't make this kind of stuff up)

Some thoughts on Asra's route...

Replaying Asra's route after having played Muriel's really hits different...

In one of the other routes Asra and Muriel appear to start a romantic relationship, and in Asra's route it's very clear that Muriel cares very deeply for Asra and dislikes the Apprentice. He mentions in one of the paid? dream scenes that he's worried about Asra and the Apprentice fading into their own world and leaving everyone else behind (again, apparently), and that he's determined to stop this from happening. His concern for Asra and initial hostility toward the Apprentice may be rooted in jealousy, not only because his oldest (and only) friend was more or less taken from him, but perhaps with romantic connotations as well.

In Book XI: Justice, Asra and Julian stage a mock trial by combat against Muriel. Though he apparently agreed to participate and is implied to have returned to the Coliseum of his own volition, presumably out of concern for Asra, who has been accused of being Julian's accomplice... he is still more or less backed into a corner and forced to play along with Asra and Julian's plan to stage a fight.

Now, to be fair to Asra, he states after everything goes wrong that it wasn't supposed to end this way, and it appeared that he was attempting to not only exonerate himself and Julian from their charges but somehow help Muriel overcome his past (he does disintegrate Muriel's chains during the fight no matter what choices you make). There was a point during this that I thought I could guess what Asra's plan was regarding Muriel's past, but being refreshed on how it actually pans out, I can't remember it now. Something about making the people of Vesuvia realize how barbaric the Coliseum was under Lucio.

The thing that stands out to me throughout this whole ordeal is that Asra knows about Muriel's trauma. He knows he was enslaved to Lucio and forced to fight and execute people in the Coliseum. He knows that Muriel is terrified of hurting other people, especially those he cares about. In Asra's route, the only person Muriel cares about is Asra, so hurting him is triggering for him. He literally is in a stupor after the board he was using as a weapon splinters off and hits Asra in the mouth, making him bleed. This is clearly meant to make the reader worried about Asra, but Muriel reacts as well, and appears hypnotized by the blood. I remember the first time I read this I thought he was going to have some crazy berserker-Hulk sort of reaction, but having read his route, it's way more tragic.

Though Muriel did seem to return to the Coliseum of his own volition, it does seem that Asra took this as a sign that he was coming to terms with his trauma. He was willing to exploit Muriel's care for him in order to save his own skin so he can be with the Apprentice. Though I recognize Asra's other toxic traits to some degree, I also have similar ones myself so they don't really stand out to me. This, however, where he more or less disregards Muriel's feelings on the matter, is actually really crushing. In Muriel's route, his whole thing is that he DOES NOT want to fight, he DOES NOT want to even spar with the Apprentice with blunt sticks out of fear of hurting them, so why would he willingly go along with this unless he was more or less in the same position Lucio put him in? Fight in the arena, or something bad will happen to Asra.

Asra knows this, and puts him through it regardless. During the whole fight, Julian's actions are written so as to make it seem like he's the one messing things up--he takes the "finishing blow" that Muriel was going to deal to Asra and gets knocked unconscious. Asra spends most of the entire time doing flashy, dramatic magic tricks that get the crowd cheering for him. After he "wins", he and the Apprentice are carried out of the Coliseum like heroes. Though Asra will try to soothe Muriel if the Apprentice so chooses right before the end, and he does look for Muriel in the crowd, he seems otherwise unbothered or unaware of the impact this may be having on his oldest friend. Which is pretty shitty.

Of course, Asra, Julian, and Muriel are all playing characters during their fight--Asra is the flashy magician, Julian is the rogueish BDSM dagger guy, and Muriel is the Scourge. Asra obviously can't show his concern even if he wanted to because he's supposed to be fighting Muriel. But putting his bro into this situation in the first place says a lot about his character. Though Julian is the one whose route is based around self-loathing because he believes he hurts everyone around him, Asra is the only one who gets what he wants out of this ordeal, and he even says so right before the chapter ends. Muriel was forced to relive his trauma and didn't get the resolution that was intended, and Julian gets KOed by a punch that literally sent him flying across the arena (though he probably enjoyed it tbh, he's a nasty little man like that lmao).

I wonder if this dynamic between Asra and Muriel was intentionally written this way in order to further amplify his tunnel vision when it comes to the Apprentice. Is this is how he acted in the past, causing Muriel to hate the Apprentice as he does and remark that he won't allow it to happen again? Maybe (probably) I'm reading too much into it, but as a survivor of abuse and trauma it rubs me the wrong way much more than Asra's obsessive, clingy nature. Of all of the reversed ends, Asra's is the one that actually scared me and kind of haunted me, because it hits a little too close to home.

These are all just thoughts that I wanted to spill out because I thought it was interesting and I wasn't sure if anyone else has talked about it before.

#the arcana #asra alnazar #muriel the mountain man #muriel of the kokhuri #asra the arcana #asra the magician #muriel the arcana #my thoughts #i mean maybe they do talk about this later in the route and i just forgot but??? #considering lucio's route and the way that was handled i don't expect it #i adore asra #he literally checks all my boxes for my favorite tropes #but like... this actually is kind of insane and i hope muriel was the one to be like “i can play scourge... i guess” but i doubt it #it also makes me wonder if asra projected onto julian and that's why ilya thinks everything is his fault #because i can't see mazelinka and the grandmas raising julian to think he's not worthy of love #asra however might have given him that impression during their time together?? which is just a big no from me ok #just some thoughts though lmao #this game has returned as my major hyperfixation so i apologize for the novel and all these tags

“So… you haven’t noticed the unusual ingredients in some of the drinks?” With a gentle upward wave of his palm, Alastor raises a small flower out of his own drink, the pastel bloom rotating slowly as it hovers mid-air. “Boltblooms grow in magic-rich areas and are often used in power potions. They are usually powdered and combined with other ingredients to increase potency, but they do have some effect in this original form as well. It’s actually quite impressive, I should ask someday how Barth works with them…” [...] “Most of the time that means that the organism – any organism really, a flower, an animal, a lichen, you name it – depends on magic in some way, and often has magical properties or even abilities. Well, um, in this case the plant simply stores magical energy. Which isn’t unique by any measure, but this particular flower is valued for also not being poisonous: a magician can get a small amount of energy even from pure, unprocessed petals! Rather bitter without any preparation, though.”

With that small lecture done, Alastor sends the floating flower straight into his own mouth, unable to stop himself from grinning at Julian’s reaction.

Asrian but Asra is doing a reading and the Death card appears, then Julian freaks and gets dramatic while Asra is trying desperately to interrupt and explain that, no, the Major Arcana card “Death” does not mean he is going to meet his demise.

~Commissions are open!~

It would be absolutely delightful if you distribute this post or even want to support my projects and order something special for yourself;зз In addition, I recently changed prices so this information may be useful even to those who already saw previous price list;*** Below I have described in detail almost all the necessary information, but please do not hesitate to write and ask me for any reason in a private message or ask - it will be my pleasure to tell or show you more, and I am always glad to have pleasant acquaintances***

What can I do for you:

Design and illustration of your original character (based on references or text description)

Your portrait, a portrait of your loved one, a celebrity or a person you like (including historical figures)

A portrait of any artistic character - from any fandom, and although my work is closer to gothic fantasy, it is a great pleasure for me to work with new themes and develop myself. The fandoms I'm most familiar with are listed in tags;з

I like to design clothes on my own, interpret the appearance and style of characters, but I am always very attentive to the interests and desires of other people** I do portraits in three formats - bust, waist-length and full-length, and with three different stages of completion - line art, flat color and full shadow work. They can be completely different in style, and you should pay close attention to the difference in the execution of these formats - the busts are always more detailed in the character's features, the atmosphere is more consistent in waist-length paintings, and full-length drawings are well suited to demonstrate clothing design or depict a scene. On average, I complete the work within three to four days, but in case of various circumstances I leave myself up to a week, the lion's share of the time (usually the first day) is occupied by sketch and line art, as well as the background - depending on the complexity and its cost , and the duration of the work can vary greatly, but on average I do them in a day or two. I can make completely different backgrounds for you - for bust or chest-high portraits, graphics or bokeh with some elements of the environment are more suitable, for full-length portraits, you can perform both art nouveau design and full surroundings with a landscape or interior design.

What can I do and approximate prices:

- Bust of one character up to the chest.

Sketch: $ 40

Flat color: $ 45

Shadows & Color Treatment: $ 50

- Portrait of one or more characters up to the waist.

Sketch: $ 55

Flat color: $ 60

Shadows & Color Treatment: $ 65

For background + 5 $ minimum. For each new character + 10 $ - Character (or several) in full growth.

Sketch: $ 70

Flat color: $ 75

Shadows & Color Treatment: $ 80

For background + 10 $ minimum. For each new character + 15 $ I also accept tips - most often they are included in the cost of the background, which is done at the end, after the main character design. Whoa !! You’ve read almost everything! Thank you very much! Here, under the cut, I describe the whole process of work and how we pay. This is very useful information about most of the questions that you may have, if you want to purchase my work, I advise you to take a look too;)

How do we work on an order?

Please feel free to contact me via Tumblr or mail for any questions you may have! ~ If you have an interest in my work, and you want me to create something special for you - share this with me in a message, we can discuss all the details and cost of your painting**

After I discuss the content of the painting with the client and receive additional materials from him (a photo of the person I am drawing, or references that are close to what is expected of me), I start creating the first sketch.

In accordance with the request, I make a sketch of the future painting, which will contain all its important elements and an approximate color scheme (if any) that I will use. At this stage, you can freely make your amendments, and when the content suits you, I will ask you for an advance payment of half the cost of the work without price of background (through Paypal).

After that, work on the portrait will begin. Its duration varies on several factors - to a greater extent on the volume and complexity of the work itself, as well as on my own workload with other orders. I will contact you at various stages of the work readiness to show its progress and make the necessary corrections.

After completing the portrait, I will send you its version in low quality- you familiarize yourself with it, and after you pay the rest of the amount, you will receive the final result of our work! ~
