A Series of Small Offerings

PART ONE -6- Jericho

My hands are not worthy

HELLO TO MY FAVOURITESTEST LINE FROM THAT SONG EVER

Not pictured: me singing this line over and over again while filling the bg and jumper with markers

(Am I cheating and using markers now? I sure am, I've had enough of pencils on this paper.)

Notable mention: the thick golden and black markers I've used in these last two pieces are ~grave inscription fixing markers~ bc I'm this edgy (kidding, they're just really good markers).

Notable mention 2: for someone who loves drawing eyes and absolutely hates drawing hands the hand-eye ratio so far is 7-0 (6-0 if we're not counting the skeleton hand and the eyes here that are closed). I have left my comfort zone and never looked back (and for that, THANK YOU AGAIN, LEVYNN!!!)

hi hi :) you made me think of personal story characters, so have a couple that you originally meet there--demmi and caudecus? @kerra-and-company

Ohhh! Two characters I never went in detail about! 😶😁 *cracks fingers* That's gonna be interesting! 🖋️

Let's start with Demmi!

She'd probably have been Elianora 's bestie amongst the Order of Whispers!

I like her character and her arc — rebelling against her corrupt minister of a father was kind of a big deal in the early PS but it's completely eclipsed by everything else until Season 3 where she just... dies?! Ex-fucking-cuse you, Logan, I thought you were a Guardian! Heal her, for Dwayna's sake!

There's another death where I was like "no, nope, never happened, she was shot, she fainted, but Meryw, Anwen and Logan did what guardians flippin' do and saved her!

As for Minister Caudecus, my beloathed!

From the very first instances of PS, we know something is afoot with Minister Caudecus and that he's sabotaging Jennah's authority under a mask of respectability, but having him as the first antagonist in LWs3 was a pleasant surprise, especially considering Anwen's background!

From a very personal perspective it went something like this for her: Minister Zammon, as a straw man for Caudecus, is responsible for Faren's abduction, which she took great care to avenge him for and let him avenge himself by picking her brother as her second for the trial by combat, so Caudecus sees them tear Zammon to pieces, and starts getting a glimpse of what he's dealing with. After the trial, the White Mantle try to eliminate Anwen, who disrupts a great deal of their operations in Queensvale — under the guidance and in collaboration with the Seraph and the Shining Blade — and discovers the truth about her birth parents fate. She makes her peace with this part of her past and keeps on living her life — once again meddling in Caudecus' affairs by exposing Minister Estelle's lies about the Queen! — and when she had all but forgotten about the Mantle, they blow up the Bloodstone and set siege against Divinity's Reach, directly threatening all that she loves again! Add to this a dear friend of hers being tortured in Caudecus' dungeons and you get a picture of how much Anwen wanted him dead.
