Finally finished @loganisanobody ‘s late Christmas gift this year! I’ve never really done an art trade like this so it was a lot of fun!
Enjoy a Nutcracker au of Janus, Logan, Roman, and Virgil from Sanders Sides!
Wanted to give them a little bit of a background but here’s them without it too - (total time: ~ 22 hrs)
Separate pictures and details on their designs in the readmore below
Logan - Rat King
Outline Color: Blue
Costume Details: Tie, Orange eyes, Mask to replace his glasses, blue accents are meant to look a little like neurons
Janus - Uncle
Outline Color: Green
Costume Details: Bowler hat & gloves, Snake cape
(I actually drew him facing the other direction first and then realized you wouldn’t be able to see his scales haha)
Roman - Nutcracker Prince
Outline Color: Red
Costume Details: Prince outfit & ballet tights
(He fits right in! Barely had to make any outfit changes)
Virgil - Clara
Outline Color: Purple
Costume Details: Vest & cape instead of the usual dress, logo & hoodie design on his cape, purple eye makeup & hair
This au idea & costume designs were partially inspired by @luxmoogle ‘s kingdom hearts nutcracker au (go and look at their art, it’s beautiful) and bc I saw the Nutcracker ballet in person right after we decided on characters for each other.
Thanks @tharkflark1 for some help on their anatomy.
I’ll add on some of the references in another post!
Hey I’m making a new blog called @isolan-landings that will hold all of my original writing for my book! It is a sci-fi, humans-are-weird story, with deep world building and some hard themes of growing up and finding connections.
There’s not currently anything on it but some basic infrastructure posts, but feel free to go ahead and follow it, as I start getting some writing, art, and world building posted over the next few days!
At the person who commented on my fic and not only was like I love this, but their ‘I’d love to see more!’ Included a mini interaction that I could use? As inspiration? For my fic??
Look sometimes we as human beings just need to sit down and color when we’re feeling anxious. This was a nice couple of hours well-spent and I hope I get to finish it later.
You know. There’s something so freeing about writing the most off the wall fic and then just having it exist in the world so you can go back and reread it whenever you want.

‘Sephiroth is just annoying enough to bug Cloud on his secret vacation for some Chocoby's fast food.’
It’s fun I promise! Feel free to throw some wild plot premises at me too. Won’t promise anything but anything’s possible.
