Two collabs I did with Janie Her twitter ~ Also her tumblr post link here. I always find collaborations much more fun if it's one character per artist interacting on the canvas.
Top set is my base drawing> Her Sonic and my Amy each/lined each> our own version of colour (top is mine bottom hers).
Second set is her base drawing> Her Amy and my Sonic (she lined my sonic here)> our own version of colour (top is mine bottom hers).

The Noble Knight of Wels
Hermit-a-day March 20th: Welsknight
A seaborne lass once told to me, whilst gathering her shells
A chance encounter whence she met a noble knight of Wels
Read it here on AO3.
-----
A seaborne lass once told to me, whilst gathering her shells
A chance encounter whence she met a noble knight of Wels
Twas noon and half when sounds of hooves came ringing down the road
And riding down, a shimm’ring man at arms did she behold
Decked he was in diamonds, from the toe to tip of head
And slowed his steed to stop along the lass’s riverbed
Dismounted from his spotted horse, the knight did bend a knee
“Fine lady, it’s been said you know where grows the mangrove tree,”
“I’ve business in that swamp, and ask your aid upon my quest.”
Said she, “The shore shall be your guide; just sail to the west!”
She offered, too, a housing for his non-seafaring steed
Yet he could not tie up the reins; he hadn’t brought a lead
In fact, under the armor of the gentlemanly knight,
No jingle from his pockets came; he had been riding light
The sighing lass did take her spade atop the neighb’ring knoll
And dug into the softened ground to make his horse a hole
He settled Spots inside the hole and climbed out with a jest,
“It seems to hold, the ways of old do still remain the best!”
The knight did wave farewell and turn his face down to the shore
Then turned he to the lass again, “I must ask one thing more.”
He said in sheepish tones, as his helm glittered in the sun,
“Have you the planks to build a boat? I haven’t got a one.”
The lass laughed, and the knight of Wels did hang his head in shame
He’d tools and food and bed, yet not a sapling to his name
“If finding there a mangrove propagule is all you need,”
“Then save yourself the trip,” she said, “I’ll just give you a seed!
And yet the knight did shake his head, “I wish that such were true,”
“Tis muck and mud itself I need; I can’t get that from you.”
The seaborne lass did nod, and choose to see this to the end
For though her clothes were iron yet, she had the wood to lend
A simple boat of jungle wood she carved with fisher’s skill
And walked him to the docks she’d built at bottom of the hill
For all the boons she bore, the knight had naught of equal worth
He only could return to her the horse-hole’s shoveled earth
Past her line of lilies did the lass set him afloat
For gone was faith this fool could steer around them in the boat
“My thanks again,” he called, “and my regrets I cannot pay,”
“But kindness will remember!” And he sailed on his way
And while she yet is not impressed by this wand’ring knight,
The seaborne lass still gives him this; he was at least polite.

in an older ask (before the bracelet comic) you broke down, basically, the odds of donnie recognizing his family to different degrees on any given day... i'm curious, what would the odds be now, now that he has the bracelet?
Hell yeah let's do more Swanatello Math~
Let's say his family visits him eight times-- this time with the bracelet.
-> Maybe one time out of eight, usually less, Donnie will not be able to recognize them and will treat them as intruders, driving them off. There are occasions when he disregards the message of the bracelet or forgets it too quickly to be helpful.
-> Two times out of eight, Donnie will be able to recognize them enough to not view them as threats, but will not be able to organically recall any further details about them. He is confused and frustrated. He recognizes something is wrong, and can comprehend the research materials he's reading, but no actual memories are being pinged in his brain, leaving him in a very frightening, bizarre, uncanny-valley sort of space. He has to repeatedly reference notes and journals to try to puzzle the identities of his family together, which is upsetting and embarrassing. Days like these focus on providing comfort and support to Donnie, but the context that his research board and bracelet provide does make this easier to manage now.
-> One time out of the eight, Donnie will be able to recognize his family but struggles to comprehend his current situation or recall details surrounding it, though he recognizes something is wrong. He knows that Raph is here, and he remembers Raph fully, but has a difficult time processing why they're here at the lake instead of being at home; it's just not sinking in for him. Things in his brain are not matching up, and he is confused and frustrated. His family will have to re-explain to him what's going on, typically multiple times. Days like these focus on providing comfort and support to Donnie, but the jumpstart that the research and bracelet provide often makes this process much easier.
-> One time out of eight, Donnie will be able to recognize his family enough to not view them as threats, but will not always be able to recall further details about them. He's not able to fully process that anything is wrong unless it's explained to him, (usually more than once,) but even then it seems to overall elude him and not fully sink in. He will happily spend the day showing his lake off to his family, dancing with them, etc. His bracelet and research board help, but on days like these he often seems unable to fully retain this information throughout the day. These days are usually pretty frustrating for his family, but are overall lower-stress for Donnie, at least. False memories are common on these days.
-> Three times out of eight, Donnie is able to both recognize his family and recall details about their current situation. He remembers the family members who are currently with them, and sometimes even those who are absent, and understands that he is currently being affected by magick that manipulates his memory and patterns of thinking.
Overall, the bracelet has improved the situation. The family has to take care to try to be present as much as possible, however, as receiving this information from the bracelet and research board can sometimes be very scary or disorientating, and they've found that having someone around either during this process or immediately after is very important. Typically, if Donnie wakes up, receives the message from his bracelet, inspects the research board, and waits for the promised family to arrive... and then they don't, he'll panic and quickly lose trust in the information. He may react negatively to any family members once they do show up. Swanatello overall tends to do poorly when left alone, they've discovered.
