Before my wittebane brainrot and my obsession for lil Pip & Hunter, i actually really liked the potential relationship these two could have had!

Hunter has big bro genes in his bones, that is not mistery, so any and every way he can gain younger siblings is always welcomed and adorable. And the collector looked like someone who really needed some gentle guidance- i just used to think their relationship had so much potential! (If only it had been developed in the show).

Like- the collector going from seeing hunter as nothing more than a “toy”, a “replaceable grimwalker” to seeing him like an actual person! And they both had been manipulated and lied to for years (or even centuries) by Belos, so i felt like they would be able to understand each other in ways no one else did! Like, some good old trauma bonding over sharing the same abuse parental figure that actually only used you as means to a goal.

I am not sure why i used such an odd technique foe the shadows, but it was just a small experiment and I am SO PROUD OF THE COLLECTOR’S FACE- like- look at him! He is ADORABLE. Also love the hair. Hope you like this!

Have a lovely day 🦊

don't know if it's of interest to you, but i personally love all the fandom's ideas of how emperor luz and puppet hunter could have interacted more in the finale, with hunter acting like the golden guard and treating her like she's literally belos :) so i would love to see a drawing of that if you would like!

Okay- I may have get a bit carried away with this, I hope you don’t mind I used your ask as a bit of comic-page practice.

I am very proud of how this looks I hope you enjoy too!

Personally I was disappointed with the whole dream-sequence, I think they could have done so much more with empress Luz and Golden Guard Hunter, it was such a cool concept I feel it was a bit of a wasted opportunity. But I love seeing the fandom interpretation of it as well! In this case, I wanted for Hunter to act a bit more like the actual Golden Guard, and Luz, despite how much she doesn’t want to, has no option but to sort of use him as if she was Belos herself, if she wants to get out of this nightmare.

Hope you like this, I had lots of fun drawing this! 🦊🦊

TOH UNPOPULAR TAKE: CALEB WITTEBANE: Evelyn his love, Philip his joy

Essentially a personal interpretation of the Wittebane lore from Caleb perspective with him being a much more grey character of dubious/grey morality (+ him being kind of delusional)

———————————————————————————————————————

Imagine this- Caleb meets Evelyn, a gorgeous, witty and vibrant witch. Despite everything he has been taught all his life, he likes her- no, screw that, he loves her. It takes time of course, but their love is genuine and deep, they complete each other, and their relationship flourishes fast and sweet. She is a breath of fresh air in Caleb’s life, she shows him things he had never thought possible, she shows him a world that is new and exciting and free, so strikingly different from the stark harsh rules and unsaid protocols of Gravesfield.

The small hushed conversations in the forest, the secret kisses and small escapades are soon not enough for either. They crave for more, but they know they cannot have it in the human realm, so Evelyn leads her friend and lover through a portal and to her home.

Caleb’s visits to the Boiling Isles are brief and hesitant affairs at first, albeit his curiosity, it still takes time for him to get used to such strange, terrifying yet fascinating world. But with time he grows bolder and more confidente. They don’t have to hide their love there, they are free. Free to hold hands and dance together, free to laugh and cry, free to explore and love for hours to no end.

And just like that, the once rare brief escapades become an ever more common occurrence, until they become a nearly daily matter. And not only that, but the time he spends there grows exponentially. If at first it was just a few minutes, soon he spends there hours, even days.

Until one day, he doesn’t come back from that portal.

Being in the Boiling Isles with Evelyn is intoxicating, nearly addictive. He is free, he is happy, he feels alive. Time flies by like butterflies, at the constant rhythm of their enamored hearts, inexorable and yet unnoticed. Caleb thinks he’d like to stay there forever, spend the rest of his days in this apparent perfect pure bliss.

But he cannot.

Because he doesn’t belong.

The Boiling Isles are beautiful and Evelyn’s family and friends always do their best to make him feel part of this- of everything; and he appreciates that, truly, they are far kinder to him than what he deserves, than what he’ll ever be able to to express and give back.

But it isn’t enough.

Deep down, Caleb knows he doesn’t belong here, just like he didn’t belong in Gravesfield when he arrived all those years before. No one but a poor homeless orphan, with nothing to his name but his father’s blue coat and his little brother at his side.

He doesn’t belong there, and he accepts it. He smiles his worries away, and simply tries to make the most out of this, trying to enjoy this sweet little dream, knowing it will not last forever.

He has to go back after all, he knows, he has always known.

That was why when he followed Evelyn thru that portal, he left all his most priced possessions behind.

His blue coat.

His carving knife.

His little brother.

Oh his little brother. His joy and his duty. The only thing his poor mother had left to remind him of her. Of her blue eyes, of her dark hair, of her witty comments- Philip had inherited all of that and more.

Caleb missed him dearly, of course he did.

He had spent his own childhood and adolescence raising him. He had taught him everything he knew. He had comforted him from his nightmares. He had taken any and every back breaking job under the sun to make sure he wouldn’t go hungry. He had stolen medicines when he was sick. He had taken his punishments and blames when he had messed up. He had haunted an hanged innocent and sinful women alike so they could fit in.

It had been a hard life, and yet, it had always seemed worth it when he would come back to their small home in the woods at the end of the day, sweaty and exhausted, and his little brother would be waiting for him sat on the small porch of their cabin. Every day he would do that, with no fail. Whether it was hot or cold, whether it was sunny or raining or snowing, whether it was early or late, whether they had argued or not. He was always there, each single time, awaiting for his return.

And Caleb would feel at home.

Maybe that was why, regardless of all the precious memories they shared in there, of all the small trinkets and moments and love they had filled it with it, Caleb had never been able to truly feel the house him and Evelyn shared as anything more than that … a house, never a home, or never a complete one at least.

There would always be something, someone missing to him, an emptiness in his heart. Something no friend, nor pet, nor palisman, nor the prospect of a baby could make up for- even if he loved each of them more than life itself.

Not even his Evelyn. Oh, how he loved her. But he also loved Philip.

And in his sinful human greed, Caleb prayed at night he could have both.

Evelyn’s free hypnotizing smile, Philip’s mischevious adoring eyes.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful? To go on adventures in the forest with his little brother during the day, and to dance around the fire with his lover at night. He didn’t think he’d need anything more, anyone else, to be truly happy. For how blasphemous it was to ponder such thought, he didn’t think anything their lord in heaven could offer him would ever be as joyful and sweet as that.

But it was impossible, nothing more than wishful thinking, a greedy fantasy.

For that to be possible, he’d have to either bring Philip to the Boiling Isles or Evelyn to the human realm, and both prospects were nothing but cruel, even if there was any chance of either accepting. He couldn’t do that to either, he loved them both too much for that.

How could he ask his lover to leave her home, her friends and family behind? How could he ask her vibrant and free Evelyn to strip herself of what made her her, to spend the rest of her life in hiding, with the looming threat of someone finding out what she was and burning her at the stake for that? No, she was to remain free to fly around and spread her wings in all their glory. That was whom she was, untamed and rebellious, but also warm and reassuring, like fire. He would never even suggest anything that may deem that light, he loved her too much for that

But then, how would asking his little brother to leave the human realm any better? Philip, who had been forcefully dragged from his home once already, whom had always struggled so much to fit in, to find a purpose, a place in their stern and unforgiving community. How could he ask him to leave it all behind, when he had just started to thrive in it? To drag him to this dangerous hellish new land, to start from scratch with no guarantee on their future, not only making of him an outcast once more, but knowing that for him to have any chance to fit in, he would have to unlearn and go against all the morals and rules that everyone had taught him since he was a little child?

That Caleb had taught him?

Oh … Maybe that was the real issue, wasn’t it? Maybe there was nothing selfless nor loving about his worries. Maybe the reason why he didn’t bring Philip along with him was far from merely not wishing to cause him harm.

Maybe the truth was that he was too prideful to let his little brother know he had been wrong. And not about something small and insignificant, but that all his life he had been wrong.

To admit that to Philip, who always looked up to him as if he could do or say no wrong, as if he was special. Him- special! What a joke! Caleb Wittebane, a poor orphan with little education and nothing to his name. A nobody, who had to scrap the bottom of the barrel each and every day just to make enough to eat. And yet … and yet Philip had always looked up at him as if he held the whole world in his hands.

Expecting of him to always know the answer, to always know what to do- it was exhausting at times, sure, it felt like a cross on his shoulders for him to carry thru the years, but it was also so sinfully addictive, as he sipped the sweet reward from the top of his pedestal. To feel important, to feel indispensable, to feel respected. Pride was a sin, and yet one Caleb couldn’t stop indulging in, a forbidden fruit he never got tired off, regardless of the years that passed by. He was so ashamed of himself, but- oh how he relinquished in the pure naive adoration and admiration his little brother would shower him with.

Stronger than a knight. Smarter than a lawman. Higher than a priest.

That was how it made him feel, and to a nobody like him, it was everything.

Wouldn’t it be cruel, to tear that pristine perfect image from his little brother’s arms? To let him see, that the older brother he looked up so much to, was nothing, but a fraud? No, Philip had already so few certainties in his life, he couldn’t do that to him. It wouldn’t be fair. He was his duty after all, how could he cause him so much pain? What kind of older brother would he be, if he knowingly hurt him?

He had to go back. It didn’t matter how exciting the Boiling Isles were, how pleasant his life there was, how lovely Evelyn was- he did not belong there. His place was at Gravesfield, in a little cabin in the woods, with his little brother.

It was his destiny, it was his duty.

He had promised Philip he would never leave him after all, how could he call himself a good older brother and disappoint him so cruelly? He had to go back, and he soon would.

Or at least, that was what he told himself every morning when he woke up, and every night when he went to sleep. And yet- that was what it all was, just words, with little progress or action to actually follow them. Again, he was a fraud after all, ready to fool not only his loved ones, but also himself.

Caleb kept telling himself he had all the time in the world. And just like that, days, months and years passed by. And yet, he still told himself he had time, so it didn’t matter. Even when him and Evelyn got married, even when they moved to a bigger house, even when she told him she was expecting.

Caleb kept telling himself he could and would stop at any moment, he was just waiting for the right one. It wasn’t that much different from when him and Philip would play pretend in the woods. His younger brother often got so self absorbed in his little games and stories that he would loose track of time- yeah that must be it, he was simply enjoying his life and struggling to keep track of time. But it was fine, all games come to an end sooner or later, regardless of how fun they were or how painful it was to stop, and this one would to.

One day, soon enough, he would have the bravery to thank Evelyn for blessing him with her love, he was sure she would find someone else, someone better, someone who deserved to build a family with her. He would gather his stuff, and he would leave, and go back to his old life, to Philip.

Caleb never wondered what may have been of his little brother, while he was away, never even pondered such scenarios. He just told himself that Philip was a smart kid, and he would be fine while he was gone. In his mind, there was no doubt of that, just like there was no doubt he would eventually cross that portal, and go back to him.

In his mind, the younger boy would be waiting for him on the steps of their home, just like he always did, looking not one day older from when he had left him behind, still the little boy he had raised and loved. Maybe he’d be upset he took this long, just like when he did whenever Caleb had to work an extra hour in the fields, but in the end, he would forgive him, just like he always did. They would just pick up from where they had left, as if only a few days had passed by, maybe he would indulge him and play witch hunters in the forest just like when they were children. His little brother would forget all his sins and would smile up to him as if he was a great king rather than a fool, and everything would be fine.

Right?

I always claim i want to explore a more grey-dark version of Caleb Wittebane (more or less within the canon), so here it is! Let me know what you think about it! Especially @barnowled

Caleb Wittebane’s Dream: What Could Have Been

This is sort of linked to my last post about my interpretation of Caleb as a more morally grey character, although very loosely so.

I wanted to make this, as to give us a glimpse of what could have been in another life, the life Caleb often dreamed about. A life where he could have had both Philip and Evelyn, a life where he wasn’t forced to choose, a life where he could have been happy- where they all could have been happy, together.

Maybe if they had met Evelyn earlier on, maybe if witch hunting hadn’t been that big of a deal back at Gravesfield, maybe if Caleb had taken Philip with him from the beginning- a lot of what ifs that do nothing but cause him more pain and regret. Maybe he could have acted differently, been braver, more selfless, more determined, so many wasted opportunities and so many unsaid words, so many tender happy moments they never got to live, and never would.

Caleb having his heart complete, not having to pick between his little brother and his lover.

Evelyn keeping her husband, her children growing up with an uncle to look after them just like Caleb looked after him.

Philip keeping his older brother and maybe with time gaining an older sister in Evelyn, another person to look up to and to guide him.

The three of them going on adventures together, both in the human realm and in the boiling isles, I cannot help myself but think of them getting into a lot of trouble all the time and creating chaos wherever they go, unintentionally or not. Evelyn and Philip getting so along they actually start teaming up against Caleb from time to time, making him nearly regret having them meeting each other, if it wasn’t for the fact seeing them becoming friends makes him feel like the happiest man to have ever lived.

Unfortunately, things did not go that way, and hence Caleb is left unable to do anything but wonder and dream with open eyes, about the life he never got to live.

Let me know if you’d like to know more of this!

Also- not sure if this could count as content for the wittecoupleweek as pip is in it as well, so I ask to @wittecoupleweek

TOH HALLOW MIND ART: WIP

I think finishing this may take a while, especially considering the background (if anyone has any advice on doing background let me know!). So in the meantime I wanted to post this first sketch/wip, hope you like the idea 🦊

The Owl House: Charis!AU

Full animation

Here we are with a very small and rough sketch of what my Charis!AU is about!

I really should make a file about this- but anyways, in some ways this AU can be seen as some sort of swap AU (although, the swap is only for Philip and Caleb, and Philip is actually alive and well-)

Without giving out too much, Caleb is the one who ends up developing a very unhealthy attachment to his younger brother, his affection and duty of taking care of the younger soon enough becoming unhealthy, as he grows more controlling of him, feeling in some sort of way as if Philip is “owed” to him for all the sacrifices he had had to endure since he was a child himself. When … let’s say something happen to Philip, Caleb doesn’t take it very well, and after centuries of trying to find a way back to his little brother, or at least avenge him, his behavior surely takes a more obsessive and possessive turn.

Is very complicated to explain in few words, and kind of very dark-

STILL, this is just a small doodle, I will make soon the polished version with the og audio :3

Enjoyyyy

Doodle request! Anything Hunter and Caleb really :3

Or Evelyn teaching Caleb Boiling Isles constellations

Welp- this is unexpected-

I could have gone in a very fluffy direction and have made them have an absolutely wholesome interaction- and instead i did this IMAO

This all was born from the fact i wanted to try and do something a lil bit different, so i started thinking about it and was like- well, what if they swapped places? We do not know much about Caleb personality canon wise, but how do you think would he have faired had he been reborn as golden guard? Would he have gone thru it to spare hunter? Would it have been better or worse than a life at Gravesfield?

I also liked to think of this as maybe hunter having some sort of nightmarish experience in hollow mind, with him trapped relieving all of Caleb’s memory and learning that way the story of the Wittebane brothers! (I really cannot give the poor boy a break, can I?)

Another interpretation, would also be of Hunter being given somehow a chance to go back in the past and change things. Is this fair for him? Absolutely not, but oh well- maybe i imagine him being angry at Caleb, thinking that he should have done things different to avoid all of this from happening, for being a witch hunter in the past, for not doing more to stop Philip- and so he is given a chance to either change things or see and understand fully why things went the way they did.

ANYWAY- hope you enjoy this 🦊

(I am also very proud of Caleb’s hands :3)

The Owl House: meme?

I have never been more proud of something in my life-

Context: Evelyn being like “he is smol, adorable, and an absolute menace to society … can we keep it?”. Essentially, she randomly finds Philip playing in the middle of the woods and think he is some kind of weird cat/animal native of the human world. (She struggled a bit to catch him, but that did nothing but make her even more adamant in wanting to keep him, SHE EARNED IT FAIRLY)

I don’t know how this came to my mind, but I found it really funny. ALSO random debut of Evelyn in my style, and I guess a look of what could have been if things had gone differently between the wittebane brothers and Evelyn . Would you like more stories/fanarts with this concept?

I will call this, the fawn and the cardinal AU

Let me know 🦊

The Owl House: Charis!AU

I really liked the general composition of the drawing I made for one ask about Philip Wittebane, so I decided to use the same template to introduce once more my own versions of the characters of my personal toh!AU

I think it looks better this way and feels more dynamic, so here we are with our favorite Golden Guard!

His and Philip’s are by far my favorite designs I have came up with- I am particularly proud of his mask (it looks simple but it took me DAYA to come up with something somewhat decent- it was awful honestly, but worth the effort!)

Also, I am finally get the hang of how to color with the pencil you suggested me @barnowled

Hope you like this! 🦊

Huntlow dtiys

I made this for a dtiys challenge on instagram!

Drawing these 2 was quite fun, I am particularly proud of hoe vibrant and alive the colors look, and also of how ADORABLE Willow looks with that fluffy slightly rebellious hair- I am so proud of it! The og idea was too cute I couldn’t resist, I really liked their outfits and how their color palettes worked together, so I tried to do my best to give the same vibes in my style!

Personally, I prefer seeing these 2 as platonic pair before the timeskip, simply very good friends with nothing else to it. The idea of them getting together during the timeskip tho is so cute, these 2 are some of my fav characters and they had so much potential in their dynamic, wish we had seen more!

Hope you like this too

Have a lovely day 🦊

Hihi

Here we are with another fanart for my friend and their rp!

Previous pip&hunter art

The plot more or less is: a young philip wittebane falls thru some space-time pool and ends up in the canon of the series (a couple of years earlier the events of TOH), and is picked up by Belos, ending becoming a sort of special guard in his own right (is kind of more complex than that tho from what I understood). Him and hunter do not really get a long at first, but eventually grow closer and the canon events of series change accordingly. The bits they shared with me are really nice, and they are still looking for rp partners if any of you is interested into that, just pm @randomaccount95

This scene was smth along the lines of them running away from the bat Queen after trying to get palismans for Belos

So- ehm- yeah I sort of gave up on the background I am sorry I didn’t not know how to draw trees-

I was really happy with the pose tho, as I really had no clue how to draw this and i 100% had to improvise ahahah

The proportions are a lil odd, as for how much sick Victorian child pip may be he does look a bit too scrawny here- BUT ANYWAY, I still think is very cute! Let me know what you think pls

Have a lovely day 🦊
