doodle place @maiden-artstraea - Tumblr Blog | Tumlook (2024)

Just an OC sketch from NYE I forgot to post. I guess the pose is how I want to feel this year. Free.

It was a really hard year. I didn’t draw much at all, and I have a lot of pieces I haven’t finished. But I’ve made one of these for a while now, so I tried to keep up the tradition. There were also so few pics of me from this year that I wasn’t sure what to use lol.

Anyway. I do think it’s cool looking at the past ones to now. I posted the ones from the past under the cut if you want to see them. They are going backwards chronologically, some might have skipped a year or two tbh lol. I think I haven’t improved a ton over time but my color choices seem more consistent now somehow.

Forgot to upload my gift from a secret santa discord server exchange. Tumblr said the transparent version was too big so I had to add a bg for now bc I didn’t feel like editing the size lol

Drew Jester Thomas for Monthly Soulsborne Drawing. I posted the transparent version, so click him if you want.

Today is my OC Mercurio’s bday, I decided to doodle this over a couple afternoons.

The text comes from this tweet: johnnysun

I wanted it to be kind of fun and whimsical but allude to some darker things in Merc’s story, specifically the fact that they sometimes use smoking as a way to numb the pain they have about losing their village to the Abyss, as well as the uncertainty about the fates of their family members. Wouldn’t it be so easy to just give into that numbness and let oneself hollow?

Luckily, that doesn’t happen for them. I still think about it sometimes though!

Happy Bday Merc! 💜

You are my sweetest downfall~

(I honestly just got tired of working on this so we’re calling it done 🥴)

Standalone versions of the last two chars from RSDC I participated in. Laurentius was actually December's muse, so until this month it had been a little bit!

A little doodle for @knighthoneybee of her OC Lorelai (yeah we celebrate OC birthdays we’re normal) 🎉

Some first test designs of an idea had for group that would replace Carim's pardoners (lol as you can see the clothing is based on the og). I'm going to copy/paste what I wrote in my notes under the read more! The name is kind of tentative and I don't know if I intend for the final version to have three different colors, I just wasn't sure what I liked the most. Also, I used Samson as a model hehe.

Lacrymariae, the Tear Collectors.

They work for the Cathedral of Morne, influenced and driven by a high level of devotion to the goddess Caitha, and as such, they seek locations where profound grief subsists.

Tearstone rings and miracles of the goddess require tears for their creation, and the Lacrymariae visit with those who are in mourning, collecting their tears as payment for brief condolences.

To some, the arrival of the Lacrymariae is considered a bad omen, for their appearance indicates that tragedy has already visited or will soon be on its way. For others, their presence is a comfort, a reminder that the goddess is always watching over them, forever listening to their pleas.

Ok I know the og photo was memed a lot and these chars have no similarity to Twelfth Night but I still thought they were fitting for the format soooo I doodled them.

Perci is one of my Morne knights, he has a hidden relationship with my pardoner, Samson (spoiler alert: he dies), and he doesn’t get along so well with his chaotic maiden 😅 (they eventually do develop a good friendship).

I know the timeline for Morne knights & their maidens/pardoners in DS is a little f*cky, but hey I have HCs for that!

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately.

A tarot card pic I did for my dear friend/RP partner @knighthoneybee of her amazing OC Silas, a Carim assassin. His story is beautiful and tragic and I love him and his partner, Adelaide ;w;

There is a less saturated version under the cut.
