Made a new ref for my humanoid sona! It's pretty much me but with a sprinkle of fantasy spices
Was way too annoyed by the fact I placed the tattoos, piercings and moles incorrectly when I made the ref last year so have the updated version with correct info :>

I want to redesing all of the civilian castaways but not in a drastic way. Just enough for each of their unique personalities to also be visible, you know ?
Oooooooh, I could make speedpaints of this as I comment my thought process on why I made such and such changes or why I didn't !

Paint the Devil on the Wall
80s New York City art scene AU, Coming November 7th!
My Steddie Big Bang project has a posting date! The first of five chapters will be uploaded to AO3 on November 7th! I can't wait to share this story that I've been working on since January. It's the longest I've ever worked on a fic and also the longest in terms of length. We'll probably be clocking in at around 60k and it will be rated E.
The fic will be accompanied by art from @melonalemonade and @dreaminginpencil which I could not be happier about! I've seen a little sneak peak of one of the pieces and it's so insanely gorgeous, you're gonna love it so so much <333
Below is a little excerpt from the intro...
***
The first artwork Eddie ever falls in love with is a piece of graffiti on the dumpster behind the church. He’s ten, maybe eleven and his mother pushes him across the parking lot on Sunday morning. They’re running late and pretending not to be, but the Indiana sun soaks sweat through his mother’s nicest blouse. A telltale sign of rushing and cheap polyester.
Would you look at that, she tuts anyway, like judging other people will guard her from nasty looks from the right side of the picket fence. Her yellowed nails hook into his shoulders. I bet it’s those Peterson boys again.
So Eddie looks.
It’s a corner of town he’s seen a hundred times, but just like that it’s new again. Angry blue and black lines swoop across the metal into bold letters spelling out SOON. Loud like advertising, enticing like early morning cartoons. Messy, but on purpose.
His mother must see the crease between his brows, maybe the longing in his eyes because she adds you don’t draw on things that aren’t yours, baby.
Inside, with his knees on the hardwood and his eyes closed, those bright letters light up the inside of his eyelids like a promise. Soon. He doesn’t know what, or where or how, but he thinks it’s coming.
Later that night he scratches the same swooping letters into his bedside table with a ballpoint and a vision. Pushes so hard the plywood dents in the shape of his marks and learns how good it feels. How a room can be a canvas. How he gets to pick the colors.
His stepdad smacks him over the head for it when his mother finds out so he figures nothing in his bedroom is really his. But maybe he knew that already.
It’s a decade later now, and Hawkins, Indiana is over seven hundred miles away. He doesn’t believe in God anymore, maybe never did, and he no longer believes in Art. But he believes in Soon like nobody’s business. Gets the word tattooed over his wrist his first week in New York and never looks back. The money. The boys and the white, chalky lines across every black surface he can find. Everything. Soon.
It’s coming.
All of which is to say that this is not a love story.
At least, not yet.
(If you have any questions you can always send me an ask, I've been absolutely DYING to talk about this story since January)
(And also thanks so much to all the moderators who've been running this big bang!)

created some new characters for a fantasy story
Haile (he/him, 24) - Half-elf, mage's apprentice nearing the end of his training
Kezkel (he/him, 41) - Human mage, Haile's mentor
Sarasi (she/her, 14) - Human lady, possesses type of magic thought to be long-gone. A bit of a perfectionist, but has a hard time casting
Izri (she/they, 13) - Human peasant, also capable of magic thought to be gone. Has a lot of natural skill at casting, and is generally a friendly and sunshiny person
In this world, magic is fairly rare, and often restricted to trained guild members. The re-emergence of a dead magic is in line with a prophecy of a world-changing cataclysm, and it's assumed the girls will play a key role in it all.
Haile and Kezkel are tasked with safely escorting the pair to a guild where they'll be trained and protected, but the further they go, the more it seems there are enemies at every turn...
