Ref Sheet For Cassiel Ariel, The Fallen Angel From The Aether Whose Bloodline Was Cursed To Be Withered,

Finally valuing my art :33

a panel work in progress with some alternate text (:

my funny little guy cas

cas is a little gremlin who also so happens to be a harpy/demon and ive always tried to make his demon form eldritch. it ended up a bit more chicken-esqe and his body shape always bothered me

buuuuuut work really makes you wanna draw (and the danny phantom phandom has such kickass art and ghost designs) soooo he changed a bit (:

i tried to make him less "human" in the sense that he doesnt have the usual eye style and feels more feral than anthro. ill be messing around more with headshots and poses but i wanted to ramble n get this out

Bindertales is moving!

hello!! due to my desire to post more miscellaneous art here and the incessant need to organize things, Bindertales content (aside from misc side art or art from the old writeup) will be put on a side blog, @bindertales from now on :D

...?

(Tune in tomorrow at 8PM GMT)

once more, @sp4cer1otz and i made a pair of characters based on other media lmao

meet Merrik and Vera (colors not quite correct but dw bout that), the harpy siblings!

chasing a chance at a better life, the two joined the crew of the Skeld (AMOGUS) as a scientist - Vera- and a cook - Merrik! in a tragic turn of events, Vera was attacked by an alien masquerading as one of their crewmates, and as a result, she lost her left leg. to pay for her cybernetic replacement, Merrik set off to work for The Company (Lethal Co.) while she joined their ranks as a stationed scientist.

work for The Company was LeThAL, to the point where Merrik found himself clipping through the fabric of reality into the Backrooms, leaving Vera with nothing but a memo from The Company about his disappearance. whilst he was lost for years, she clawed her way up the corporate ladder until she was of high enough rank to access multi-dimensional technology. she managed to locate her brother between realities and drag his scrawny ass into a remote yet stable dimension - the Ratcraft Minecraft server - and hopped her way in too (:

ALL OF THIS as a convoluted way to have angsty characters in all three games to play as we please :D

Bones 2024!

just realized i never shared this here! (misc stuff gets posted to my DA lol) sooo here's Bones, one of my oldest OC's who has grown with me since high school, even the focus of my first big project in freshman year of college (:

figured he'd be the best character to make proper art for after graduating, 8 whole years after his original creation as alex, the apocalyptic radio host!

i adore being able to look back at old art and see how far both I and my characters have come. cherish your prior work, it's all a part of your creative journey, folks!!

(still can't draw guns, though)

my funky skrunkly homicidal business rat, Therat the inchling (rat/beetle), who is my current character in the Origins Minecraft server my friends and I play on. I'm hoping to finally edit my clips together in a lil animated summary soon (: i hope im posting this right ;c;

hello to the like 3 people who have been waiting for Bindertales

im so sorry, the next 2 pages are done dw but it's in progress ;w;

in the meantime HELLO NEIGHBOR AGAIN IM SO SORRY the new episodes are making me scream again so please give me a moment to share some doodles whilst i share my thoughts.

SEASON 2 SPOILERS INCOMING!!

firstly, my favorite part of the series: Trinity and Nicky's friendship! i'm really not a fan of romance plots so i ADORE that they aren't trying anything with these two, just leaving it to mosty one-sided Enzo.

so, when the teasers showed an almost direct parallel of Nicky leading Trinity into Peterson's house by giving us a shot of Trinity leading Nicky, it really got my hopes up!! it thankfully didn't disappoint too horribly, but damn if it isn't painful to watch Trinity go from "yeah Nicky you've been through a lot huh ): " in episode 1 to "c'mon dude you're the one who told me to be brave, why are you being so scared???" it was a bit AAAAA

thankfully, it does seem somewhat purposeful, as she is still a kid and seems to be doing her best to help Nicky the way he helped her be brave, it's just really backfiring. as seen when she's taken home from school in ep 2, she's clearly worried about him and is very much aware something is going on, so it's not like there's some sorta character betrayal! i really hope they'll have a chance to really talk things out and reach an understanding. OR AT LEAST JUST GIVE NICKY A HUG FOR FUCK'S SAKE POOR BOY, THAT CLIFFHANGER HURTS SO MUCH OML

I LOVE SIBLING CONTENT PLEASE GIVE US MORE!! some of my favorite bits of background detail in s1 are Maritza's reactions to Enzo being a simp. she's such an asshole and i love her for it. she's also still acting as the greatest voice of the straight man, which is a breath of fresh air sometimes among the children playing detective during MULTIPLE MURDERS AND ACTS OF ARSON!!!

speaking of, why the hell did Mrs. Bales immediately get suspicious of the LITERAL CHILDREN who were OUTSIDE during the housefire? especially since she herself said her outlet blew? i understand stories following kids have to find a way to write out the parents sometimes, but it's just baffling that it was handled so well in s1 compared to s2. and they also jump on the anti-Nicky train? did they not literally witness that child escape from Peterson's after their daughter told them he was kidnapped weeks ago????? DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LITERAL CHILD WHO JUST GOT TRAUMATIZED AND WHOSE PARENTS WERE SAID TO BE HARD TO CONTACT??!?!?!?!

i'm

far less agonized, i just thought about how in the world Peterson hid among gravestones as a grown-ass man during Trinity's story in s1, and thought it'd be funny if, as i draw him, he pretended to be a bush behind a gravestone. hunched up so his body's behind the stone and the big flumf of his mane and tail stuck out. logically, a flashlight would catch the red of it despite the dark, but cartoon logic could hand-wave it away.

in terms of s2 thoughts with him, it's cool to see his backstory! i'm still pretty much in the dark when it comes to the whole Hello Neighbor lore, as i only saw gameplay of the alphas and never heard the intended storyline, but i did see that last Matpat video! i can't wait to see what's up with his brother being the shadow guy (i think) and why he's terrorizing Nicky. i'm betting it's not a malicious thing, that maybe he's trying to make contact or keep him safe, considering the flashback! and it seems like the grown-up bullies might be the ones behind the kids' disappearances and Crowface, though i'm not quite as confident about that one. i just know a lot of the adults are suspicious and i think it's a red herring that there's supposedly a secret neighbor. i think it's all of them, and Peterson knows.

still doesn't excuse kidnapping and traumatizing Nicky tho

thanks to anyone who reads this rambling mess, i just have a lot of thoughts about this show and don't have anyone i know who's caught up or into it (:
