On Stone Magic

Hm. Yeah, this was a needed distraction from the atrocity called Waverider. 💀

Notes:

Really needed an excuse why I draw the stonekeepers using elements in my art, ended up getting carried away!

[1] The outfits they're wearing is around post book-4 or 5. My rewrite I jumbled things around, so technically in this timeline he should be wearing his armor in the og series. It's intentional he looked uncomfortable in it. It's a revamped design of his fit in book 6.

[2] Magical fire can only be dispersed by magic. It'll burn forever otherwise. Guess what Emily used on Ippo.

[3] We never really see Emily be silly or undignified, and to me, that's what she was lacking on why she didn't leave much of an impression nor appeal to me. this is an attempt to make it seem like she's still just a kid learning and stumbling and getting into embarrassing situations.

Still haven't finalized the design on Max, but I have some idea. If you noticed, he has the same collar as Trellis, meaning Trellis borrowed some Cielan attire before discovering a healer's robe, which is more elf-like attire.

[4] Trellis's magic may seem silly or trivial than say, what Emily developed to give her advantage in combat. It may also give you the impression he just did it to have an easier time for chores. But if you dig a bit deeper, that's extremely useful magic, especially for a society like Alledia.

[5] the Elf King didn't show up on the other scale because we don't know his level of skill. Other than that, he's insanely powerful.

[6] Every other stonekeeper can manifest both if they're skilled enough, but Trellis was the first to perfect a defensive style and do it consistently.

[7] Just a nice lil joke. Also, Max is wielding an ice pickax that can split into two or combine. Very dangerous.

You can tell I've been rereading wha and dungeon meshi for this.

Got around to write some Character design notes for the Amulet Rewrite of book 4, specifically for the kiddos.

I did draw them in spandex/underwear because it makes body references easier and I poped off in the anatomy, if I may toot my own horn.

All this to say, if you feel uncomfortable by this then feel free to ignore this post, no blame for anything. Just know that this is not meant to be adult in nature (because Ew, they're kids), just a reference sheet for my headcanons.

Thundering Fury

Kind of dissatisfied with the hands, they don’t look adult enough if you know what I mean. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

I’ve twisted my Max’s personality and life so much, he’s basically become an oc of mine lmao. Also, I’m not good at keeping a consistent art style (you’ve probably noticed lmao)

Here’s a second version cause I couldn’t decide on if I wanted the light orb in the background or not.

some thoughts i have abt amulet bc recently I've been thinking abt it a lot

- if max wasn't killed off he could have had an interesting arc

- if riva is gonna play a big role in waverider (she probably will tbh) she should have been introduced sooner and/or been in firelight

- emily just wanted to save her mother and now she's in this mess. i know she's the "chosen one" but i still sort of don't like leon for pushing emily into this

- trellis' redemption arc is way early compared to others

- if any ship is gonna end up canon it's most likely gonna be nalyson (I think that's the ship name?)

- is it just me or in supernova didn't vigo propose riva help trellis lead the elves? which could be seen as platonic but who knows??

Design concept exploration

Would it be subjected to eventual changes? Likely yes, if I ever render them realistically is what allows me what designs works and what doesn't, for my sanity. I really tried my best to make the design not too overly detailed so if I ever have to draw them repeatedly, I get to draw them quick. Honestly, I think Max's and Leon's are close to pretty much final - they're almost exactly the ones in my head, Max especially.

Notes:

Max is def wearing Cielan clothing, a Griffins on his tunic. I'm pretty happy that I'm able to use my Worldbuilding hc of Cielans having gold on their outfits, from the leather to the cloth - to show that they're a rich city-state through conquering cough cough. A headcanon, his dad was a Captain of the Cielis Guard, Max is from a pretty important family of a long line of soldiers/stonekeepers. I'm still not sure whether to finalize it, but Max isn't undead here, but he's definitely cursed to die, and is dependent on the EK to keep him alive. Still, furs, because he never felt warmth again after Korthan (also, he uses ice).

OOMF EK is a struggle between "his iconic for his simple white design" and "he's egotistical and that should be shown by the opulence of his robes" and I'm still figuring out the balance. I might remove most of the gold. And also, oof, I realized if he's hooded, his ears should misshape the hood. But if I have his hood tucked behind the ears, he looks silly. So maybe I'd just trick people that if EK is looking at the side, his ears are hidden, but if he's fully frontal, you'd see his ears :P or maybe I should just add a slit in the hood. Aaah elf ears. You're pretty but a nightmare to work with. The idea behind EK is supposed to be "divine" or "holy", hence he has tippets, like a priest. You can even see it in the fancomic. But now I'm considering whether or not I should keep it... He has two fits: this one is for throne room only, hence it has a train. If he goes out, it'd be a bit different.

Leon already has great design, but I gotta make him a bit more unique - I maintained the general form, but the more specific details are different. Kanalian armor is a bit more different armor than those of other cities. The armor Leon wears is sorta? Leather? Studded, light armor for him because he relies on speed since he's no powerhouse. Spats, bc drawing laces are a pain. Simplified his arm guards to have metal plates. AM unsure about the white pants.

Can you do Max griffin x female reader please?🖤💓

You Should've Known Better

Paring: Max Griffin x reader

Warnings: not proof read, a little bit of angst, mentions of death, mentions of murder

Summary: After Max Griffin's alliance with the Elf King and rampage on Cielis, Y/n, a rogue stone keeper had fled to a small town. She lived peacefully amongst other humans in exchange for small favours, but when Max hears whispers of a stray stone keeper, he makes it his mission to recruit you in order to get to the Mother Stone. Maybe fate had other plans for the two of you.

ABBR: Y/n (your name), Y/l/n (your last name)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Hi hi! I’m so sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I didn’t know if you wanted anything in particular so I just winged it,,, ALSO I was in hysterics reading your url LMAOHDGF

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you make rounds around the small town, you carry a small basket full of fresh fruit. Going from stall to stall, you examine the produce.

Feeling a gentle tap on your shoulder, you pull down the hood of your cloak. You put down the fruit you were holding, turning to face the person.

"Miss Y/l/n, could you help me with my cargo? I fear that my bad back makes it difficult to lift heavy items nowadays," said an old man.

You perk up and smile gently at the old man.

"Ah, Mr. Cane, it's so good to see you! I'll be happy to help," you say politely.

As you walk with him to his store, you watch the kids play cheerfully in the town square. Snapping your fingers, a soft blue glow emanates around the kids. An impressive dragon swirls around them, weaving between the kids, finally erupting into fireworks. Their giggles and squeals make you chuckle.

Mr. Cane laughs at your little display, turning to you.

"Just those crates over there dear, thank you for your help," he says gratefully.

You nod as your amulet glows, the soft blue returning from earlier. You use this added strength to easily carry stacks of crates into the modest store.

Dusting your hands, you grin. "All done here Mr. Cane! Anything else?"

He shakes his head as he places a small pouch of coins into your hands.

Your eyes widened in surprise, "Oh no, please I could never! Everyone has been more than generous helping me get settled, I couldn't accept this," you say quickly.

He clasps your hands in his, tucking the coins into the basket hooked around your arm.

"It's the least I can do for all your hard work, consider it a token of my appreciation," he says warmly.

You smile at him, thanking him one last time before returning home. Watching the sun start to set, you make your way back.

"Goodnight big sister Y/n!!" said the group of kids from earlier.

You wave warmly to them, watching as their parents usher them home for dinner.

Out of sight, you feel your smile drop. You sigh, your heart feeling heavy.

On one hand, your new life here was wonderful, and everyone was extremely kind; but on the other, you could only feel empty.

Your parents, your friends, you neighbours- gone.

You felt anger bubble inside you, breathing in deeply to quell the tears threatening to spill.

You recall how your father didn't come home from work that day. Your mind flashes to the image of their lifeless bodies littering the streets.

Shaking your head, you unlock the door to your small home. Dropping your basket onto the counter of your kitchen, you toss your cloak to the couch.

The townsfolk had helped you get settled in. You recall how wary they were of you when you first stumbled across their town. After lending a hand here and there, they quickly warmed up to you, offering to each chip in to help you purchase this home.

You flop onto your bed, letting sleep take over every inch of your body. The smell of fresh sheets fills your senses as your eyes shut.

-----------------------

You were rudely awoken by a commotion outside. It was the middle of the night, the moon was still high in the sky. You slip your shoes on, hurriedly grabbing your cloak. You wrap it around your shoulders, letting the fabric engulf you.

Dashing out into the street, you notice a stall knocked over and an older woman chastising a boy around your age. Combing a hand through his spiky hair, he rudely rolls his eyes and begins to interrupt her, his own anger apparent on his face.

You dash to the scene, extending your arms protectively.

"Hey, hey-! Guys, it's okay, I'll see what I can do about the stall, let's get to picking up all this fruit first," you say quickly intercepting the two.

Bending down to pick up a few apples, your amulet hangs from your neck, slipping out from behind your cloak.

The boy's eyes widen as he grips you by the wrist, pulling you up to examine your face.

"Hey what the h-!" you yelp in protest, dropping an apple.

"Are you from Cielis?" he asks, cutting you off.

You flinch at his words. How would he know where you were from? Even the townspeople didn't know of your origins, respecting your need for privacy.

You yank your wrist out of his grasp, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Who... are you?" you whisper.

Your hair sways wildly in the wind, you grip your amulet protectively. The stall was being tended to by your neighbours. Standing eerily still, you stood there separating this intruder from the people behind you.

He breathes in sharply.

"I'm Max, and I need your help,"

-------------------

Your mind was racing, you couldn't believe what you were doing.

You had the Max Griffin seated on your couch as you tended to his wounds.

After apologizing to your neighbour for all the damage Max had caused, you promised her a favour for her forgiveness.

Dragging Max away from the innocent people, you got him settled in your living room.

Sighing, you grab a peach from your basket from the previous day. Washing it, you slice it into pieces and place it onto a plate.

Bringing the plate over to Max, you sit on an armchair across from him. Crossing your arms over your chest, you eye him down suspiciously.

He was in rough shape. You had bandaged his wrist and forearm, presumably the remnants from a battle with some creature. You watch as he brings a peach slice to his lips, savouring the taste of fresh fruit.

You were the first to speak, "So, what do you want from me?" you ask curtly.

He meets your gaze, wiping his hand on his pants. "The motherstone- it's in danger," he says quietly.

If only you knew better. He was lying through his teeth.

You furrow your brows, frowning at him. "What're you talking about? You destroyed the goddamn city! Why would you possibly care?" you grit.

He lets his gaze fall to the ground. "I know what I did was unforgivable," he whispers. "-but truly, I need your help. You would know better than anyone Y/n," he says, eyeing your amulet.

You flinch at the mention of your name, taking a step back, you raise your fists. He stands up, putting his hands in the air in surrender.

"How do you know my name?" you demand.

"My amulet told me I needed to find you," he says slowly revealing his amulet from under his own cloak.

"I was wrong for what I did, I was angry- the system was unjust and my judgement was clouded," he says gingerly.

You feel your guard falter for a moment.

He continues, "-but I'm doing whatever I can to make up for it. The city is back, Y/n, I can bring the people back,"

"I just need the help of another stonekeeper to bring the mother stone back to its former power- please Y/n come back to Cielis with me," he pleads with you.

Your arms drop to your sides as your lips part in shock. All you could imagine was bringing your parents back. You clench your fists momentarily, slowly releasing the tension as you sigh.

"...fine" you mumble.

---------------------

Getting him settled on the couch, you grab a lit candle. Watching his features relax, your grip the candle holder tightly. You could have your revenge right now.

He was so vulnerable, so unguarded, so alive.

Snapping out of it, you sigh, blowing out the candle softly and heading to bed.

---------------------

Throughout the next few days, you helped Max rebuild his ship that he crash landed a couple days prior in the woods. You wince as he tells you about the monster he fought off.

He smiles proudly as he finishes his story, pointing at a scar.

You catch yourself laughing at his antics, despite harbouring hate towards him. After helping Max haul a few wood planks, you make sure to stop by a few vendors, buying some candied fruit for the two of you. A group of kids swarmed the stall, waving to you happily.

You smile as you talk to the little ones. Unbeknownst to you, Max's cheery personality drops the moments you turn away from him. He watches as you reach over to help a small child out with holding his candied snack. The way your hair frames your face as you reach over with a genuinely kind smile catches his eye.

He feels something unpleasant in the pit of his stomach, brushing the strange feeling off as his distaste for other humans.

You whip around to face him, he catches your gaze, flinching as you hold out two sticks with strawberries on them. You hand him one, despite his reluctance.

"These are delicious, you should try one," you usher, joining his side.

"I'll take your word for it," he says as he hesitantly bites into the snack.

His eyes light up as he finishes the treat quickly. You sigh, giggling.

He watches the way your eyes squint when you smile.

Was this feeling pity? Perhaps his lying nature had finally started to catch up to him.

---------------------------------

Saying your teary goodbyes, you part ways with your neighbours. Giving your final hugs, you make sure to take all your important belongings with you. Boarding Max's ship, you look at him, nodding once. Nodding back, you two took off.

Making yourself at home, you unpacked in a cabin. Heading up to the deck of the ship, your gaze lands on Max. He's leaning on a railing, looking down at the small town.

Approaching him, you hesitate. You lift your hand to his shoulder mumbling to yourself.

"Woah," you gasp out, gazing down at the forests below.

He's surprised at the contact. Watching the way your hair sways in the wind, he relaxes.

"The first time I was on ship, I had to hide away in the cabins the entire time," you laugh bitterly.

Recalling how you had to smuggle yourself onto a ship from Cielis, you quickly remove your hand from Max's shoulder.

His gaze droops a little, missing your brief contact.

The two of you gaze out at the forests below in silence.

He freezes.

He misses your warmth?

"Y/n- I'm-," he says trying to comfort you.

"Just- stop Max," you say with hurt on your face.

He watches you as he feels a pang in his chest. Surprised at his own actions, he reaches up to wipe a stray tear from you cheek.

You pull away from him, mumbling a quick string of apologies as you dash off to your cabin.

--------------------------------

As you lay curled up in bed, you sniffle softly.

Knock, knock, knock.

You perk up at the door.

"Y/n?"

You take in a sharp gasp of air.

Treading over to the door, you open it slightly.

"Y/n- I'm sorry," he says.

You meet his gaze as you open the door wider, silently inviting him inside.

Sitting on your bed, you feel it dip to one side as he sits beside you. You don't miss the tenderness in his voice. The way he tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear. How he holds you like your the most delicate thing on the planet.

You should've known better.

Maybe you did know better.

But just for today, you'll open your heart up to him.
