twilight princess really dropped the character design of all time and then did NOTHING with her....

The one, the only, Jaime Lannister

Confession time... I'm a big redemption-arc Jaime apologist. Season 8 was a betrayal on every level and I reject D&D's decisions with Jaime. In a hilarious/devestating twist season 8 episode 2 was the second episode I'd ever watched (the first was the Sand-Snake vs Greyjoy episode with my cousins, and s8ep2 I watched when it came out with my friend) and it hooked me enough to give the rest of season 8 a fighting chance (guess how that went). So... I was already a Braime stan via the books and 8x02... there's a reason I'm still raging all these years later. I was already set up for failure with my Beauty and the Beast retellings obsession... I have to stop or I'll never stop. Anyway, Jaime apologist, I've decided he and Brienne have a happy ending. Who is your problematic asoiaf fave?

it's been too long since i last tortured myself with some nice detailed lineart. decided to fix that.

#hollow knight #hk #hollow knight gijinka #hk gijinka #thk #the hollow knight #hk ghost #little ghost #shade lord #fanart #illustration #also feat. me tinkering more with post-etv ghost's design. NEED me those slightly-fancier horns. #and extra eyes of course. can't forget that. #the armor is just something i'm tempted to add to ghost's general design tho. if it weren't a pain to draw. #anyway something something king's brand something something thk's fucked up familial relationships something something void dream #there's a lot going on here. figure it out yourself.

Siggghhhhh I blame @dreemurr-skelememer for this 😒

close ups and info under the cut

Idk what higher power convinced me from 11pm - 5am to just HAVE to draw Dream and Nightmare as horses from mlp (god dammit I’ve never even watched mlp) but HERE WE ARE

I put waaay to much time into these drawings not to color them so once I line them I’ll do that

Hopefully-

Anyway I wasn’t sure how to incorporate Nightmare’s tentacles in this design, buuut here were a couple of things I wanted to do/design choices and why:

I wanted to make them both alicorns with Nightmare having webbed wings (with hints of feathers and trauma)

I decided Nightmare was going to have armor and a royal vibe/aesthetic (like the king he is)

He also has horseshoes with pointed tips and ankle armor and neck armor cause yes.

I wanted to give him even more armor but I thought it would be too much

The cutie marks are their respective apples, but I wanted Nightmare to have, well, a Nightmare Moon thing going on where there was discoloration around the mark (excess of slime in this case)

I did want to incorporate sun and moon elements into the curie marks as well, but I figured I could do it in clothing instead to not overcrowd the cutie mark design and have it lose its meaning.

The slime around Nightmare’s cutie mark is constantly flowing and dripping off of him and if you looked closely his apple may appear purple instead of black through the drips

Ok while I’ve never really watched mlp I don’t live under a rock and I’m aware of how similar Luna and Celestia are to Nightmare and Dream, plus I looked up different designs and species and if you couldn’t tell Nightmare’s HEAVILY Nightmare Moon coded (she also slays btw I love her).

As for ideas about Nightmare’s tentacles I figured maybe he could have a sort of shadow magic maybe??? That acted like his tentacles in a way? Idk I’m workshopping it.

Or he could pull a Rapunzel and have his mane and tail act as his tentacles (which is kinda why his hair looks like that, as I wanted it to look slimy and thick, and for the “tentacles” a bunch of the chords would wrap together to create the tentacle like shape).

Idk mannnn I’m trying but horses and tentacles just don’t really go together juuuust sayin

I actually wasn’t gonna give Dream his cape/shawl thing cause I forgot he had it but I looked at Dream’s ref again and thought it was fitting enough.

Dream’s circlet got turned into a helmet cause I thought it would match Nightmare’s vibe a little more and I wanted to do more than just put it on his head ya know?

I’ve also been seeing designs with Dream having his hair braided and I thought it was fitting so while u can’t really see it, Dreams mane consists of a bunch of thick braids and the nape of his neck he just cut his hair cause otherwise his braids would get tangled in his wings so he said be gone lol. (Nightmare’s tail is also partially braided and I like to think he also braids his mane too into one large braid I just didn’t draw it that way :().

Ok I still have more to say but THIS IS LONG ENOUGH NAHSVAGACA

#nightmare sans #dream sans #dreamtale #kinda??? #i mean they’re horses here sooo #eh i don’t care it’s fine #i wanted to make nightmare have armor and be elegant and royal #then i realized i could make their helmet/face armor stuff their crowns :) #nightmare was a pain but it was worth it #also wasn’t sure about the wings but eh could change later #eh dream looks too plain but idk what else to add before it’s too much #nightmare might be too much :/ #nah he’s slaying 💅 #i also have a habit of drawing nightmare first and then realize his good eye isn’t facing meeee 😩 #it kills me every time

Here's part two of drawing my family pictures as the Bad Batch because I can and you can't stop me

#i can tell you right now that drawing their armor was a fucking pain in the ass #and the l e g s jesus fucking christ #why do i have to care about anatomy #don't ask where crosshair and wrecker's legs are btw i wouldn't know #fun fact the original picture is from our summer vacation to Italy back in 2018 #tech is me in this picture actually real and true #another fun fact #omega's eyebrows were blonde until the very last minute because i felt like they looked kinda odd #and she does actually have dark eyebrows in the show so-- #i don't know if they look any better now but ehh good enough #hunter looks so wrong for some reason but i can't fix him i'm sorry #also yes they're all in their blacks because a) i couldn't be bothered to draw all the armor again and b) they deserve the comfort #i might do proper shadings if i find the motivation for this but until then this is what you're getting #the bad batch #bad batch #tbb #the bad batch fanart #bad batch fanart #tbb fanart #hunter #omega #crosshair #wrecker #echo #tech #the clone wars #star wars #star wars fanart #fan art #art

“You can do this,” Pidge says, reaching for his hand. “I know you can.”

“Thanks,” Lance says. His hand is slack in hers but he leans down, forehead to hers. The gratitude in his eyes fills her with both warmth and a note of guilt.

Here at the possible end of all things, with everything at stake, there’s so much she wants to say. Words never come easy for Pidge. Least not words that are bound up in messy organic stuff like emotion. Science? She can pontificate on science for hours, but verbal expressions of feelings? Confessions wrought of vulnerability? Nope.

Nevertheless, she knows she hasn’t always been the best of friends. From the day she laid eyes on him, the silly, scrawny boy dancing before the Galaxy Garrison academy’s assignment board, she’s loved him. But also resented that love, because she was made to do bigger things than pine over hopeless crushes. Resentment begat jealousy, more resentment and frustration, and it honed her tongue to a fine edge, cutting him with teenage cruelty.

He’s forgiven her, right? He’s hers now, against all odds. But an apology is still in order, a recompense for adolescent slights. But the apology has stayed in her mouth, held not by her usual stubbornness, but fear. Fear that her apology for past slights will remind him of who she is and isn’t. Katie “Pidge” Holt. Blunt, science-obsessed, a far cry from fairytale princesses schooled in the gentle art of diplomacy.

Cold, hard logic, that which orders her life, dictates that her fears are irrational. It’s not like he’s forgotten the past. He loves her despite, possibly even because of all that she is and was. But the apology still hangs in her mouth.

I’m sorry for all the times I made you feel stupid. You’re not stupid. You play dumb too much, but you’re smarter than even you know.

Instead, she gives him what she can at this moment.

“You’ve got this. I believe in you. The whole team believes in you.”
