Coming Soon...
Golden Vines
A Huntlow Tangled AU
Shoutout to @theres-got-to-be-more for coming up with the title!
In addition to my regular art tag list, I'm tagging a few people who I've talked to about this AU before or who expressed interest in it when I posted about it before. If you want to be tagged when I post the first chapter in a couple weeks you can let me know in the replies :)

Get you a guy who makes cool t-shirts for you, your besties, his brother, and his brother's boyfriend
...plus a hat for his bestie who refuses to wear clothes!
Made these to accompany my stevatya fic! (Hoots is intentional btw, Hootsipher is too long to fit on a hat)
Well! I did it! My big Steve x Katya fic is officially finished! Have some kisses for Steve to celebrate!
Word count: 61,815
Summary: Through a series of chance meetings Steve, a loyal scout in the Emperor's Coven, gets to know Katya, an intriguing witch who has had her fair share of clashes with the Emperor's system. He finds himself drawn to her but there's a problem--she only knows him outside of uniform.
And here's a bonus Severine with a tiny cat :3
Requested by Anon, Steve gets some saddle bags for his bike and Mattholomule is not impressed. This is not what you asked for...sorry not sorry hehe
(context here and here)
10 minutes later...
Not gonna lie besties I had to trace that stupid bike!
Steve's photo by itself + original meme beneath the cut!
NOT SPOILERS! I started this comic before the leaks even came out, it's just my idea of how their reunion should go :)
I thought it would be neat if the portal opened to Eclipse Lake, since if Philip Wittebane was telling the truth in his diary that's where he first entered the Boiling Isles. If you've seen the trailer you know my Mattholomule design is inaccurate, but it was too late for me to change it (and I still think he deserves a horn). Gus starts on the ground because if you recall, he dove through the portal at the end of Thanks To Them instead of walking like a normal person, bless ❤️
Also I have NOT seen the leak so PLEASE no spoilers!
"You know how some witches carry small pets in their purse?”
“Yeah?”
“Imagine that but Darius with Eberwolf.”
This was inspired by @animationadventures fic Purse for Steve.The mental image of Darius carrying Eber in his purse was too funny and I just had to draw it. Give it a read!
I really like how this one turned out, I think I will add it to my redbubble soon!
[image ID: a digital illustration of Darius looking off to the side, carrying a large white and purple purse in one hand. Inside the purse, we see Eberwolf riding inside, his face just poking out from the top of the bag and his hair going all over the place. The background is black with a gold splash.]
Bonus:
They got paw prints in his Valentino White Bag!
[image ID: an uncolored drawing of Darius carrying Eberwolf in his purse, similar to above. Darius looks annoyed at Eber and says, "You know, you're ruining my outfit." Eberwolf growl laughs in response.]

The Emperor's Right Hand Man
[Image ID: two digital illustrations, the first of witch depicts the recipe for a grimwalker. Listed from top to bottom is "Galderstone" drawn next to a blue crystal, "Palistrom Wood" drawn next to a log of blue wood, "Stonesleeper Lungs" drawn with a pair of stone lungs, "Selkidomus Scales," drawn with a section of purple fish scales, and "Bone of Ortet" drawn with the skeleton of a human left hand. The second illustration shows Belos from the waist up clutching the hand skeleton in his fist and saying, "How amusing, Caleb. Your left hand will become my right." Both images have dark backgrounds.]
More of my thoughts on this theory beneath the cut! (Spoilers for Thanks to Them)
Okay so we all know Hunter is a grimwalker made from one of Caleb's bones, but I'm convinced it was his left hand specifically.
Like much of the fandom throughout season 2, I was intrigued by Hunter's gloves and his seemingly increased sensitivity regarding his hands. Like most people, I believed he had some scars there, or heck at least eczema, and couldn't wait for the show to finally reveal the mystery of Hunter's hands.
But then Disney Channel released the Monstober promo featuring this clip from Thanks to Them.
[image ID: A screenshot of Luz and Hunter staring straight ahead while Gus looks very excited. Hunter is noticeably not wearing gloves as he holds a flip-phone like object and his hands have no visible scars.]
And I just went!!! what the heck!!! all that build up for nothing!? His hands were just so casually revealed like that? The episode wasn't even out yet and I was already going out of my mind trying to figure out what was going on there.
And then I got to Chapter 16 of Mr_Spinner's incredible fic Strength in Body and Mind and it all started to make sense. I won't spoil too much of the story for those who haven't read it yet, but a part of the plot involves Belos making a grimwalker out of Hunter's wisdom fangs, and this grimwalker often experiences pain in his teeth because of that. Hunter's hand(s) could very likely cause him pain for the exact same reason. Then couple that with the fact that as the Golden Guard, Hunter is often referred to as "The Emperor's Right Hand Man." No matter which hand was used, Belos would think that was hilarious, this is the same guy who came up with the name "Hunter" for a witch hunter's grimwalker.
So why the left hand specifically? Well, first in Hollow Mind it's Hunter's left hand that starts to tremble when the bird palisman disintegrates
[image ID: Two screenshots from Hollow Mind. The first shows Hunter's left hand holding a bird palisman as it smokes and turns to ash. The second is a moment after, showing Hunter's left hand is now empty and he is holding it with his right hand to stop it from shaking.]
and in Labyrinth Runners, it's his left hand again that hurts when Gus high-fives him (and no offense to Gus but that was not a very forceful high five).
[image ID: a screenshot from Labyrinth Runners. Gus has just high-fived Hunter and Hunter is recoiling and wincing in pain.]
BUT THEN Thanks to Them aired and I got the most compelling evidence of all.
As a semi-tangent, I'd like to point out first that Belos enters Hunter's bloodstream through the cut on his right hand. This of course is coincidence that Hunter hurt himself there, but it once again underlines the "Right Hand Man" title. This is relevant as the right hand is the only part of his body that Hunter is later not able to regain control over from his possession, which makes sense.
But the part that he first regains control over is his left hand.
[image ID: two screenshots from Thanks to Them showing Possessed Hunter. In the first, Hunter is using his left arm to restrain his right arm that Belos is using to harm Flapjack. In the second, Hunter punches himself in the face using his left hand.]
How interesting would it be if out of all the parts in Hunter's body, the part he was first able to take back from Belos was the part donated to him from Caleb? The only part of him arguably not made by Belos? I think it would be very cool.
Please note that Belos himself is left handed, so if he is having to use his non-dominant right hand here that implies there has to be some serious resistance from the left. It is also the left hand that Hunter uses to throw the Titan's blood in the water, which makes sense given everything I've speculated so far.
Now, there are a couple counter arguments to this theory, the greater of the two being the fact that a hand is made of 27 individual bones. Why wouldn't Belos make 27 grimwalkers then? I propose that they are each too tiny. I mean come on. How could a teeny metacarpal carry the same weight as a femur or a rib? I think it would also be interesting if being made from many small bones instead of one large bone could have contributed to Hunter looking "the most like" Caleb.
The other less substantial argument is that it's actually Hunter's right hand that hurts after Willow shakes his hand in Any Sport In A Storm. To that I would argue Willow is strong. Like, really strong. She shook his hand so vigorously that his entire body was jerking around. I think that would hurt under any circumstances, plus Hunter seems to recover from this quicker than the above mentioned instances.
So what do you all think? I'd love to hear more people's thoughts and theories!
Elation alternative scene
[image ID: a 3 panel comic depicting Monarch attempting to akumatize Marinette. In the first panel, Marinette looks angry as Monarch communicates with her via the butterfly's powers. He says, "And to help you on your mission, Unmasker, I am giving you the power of--" He cuts himself off and we see him looking confused in the second panel as he asks, "Wait a minute, do you not have an alliance? What are you broke?" In the third panel Marinette looks confused as Monarch continues, "You know what? Ask your classmate Adrien Agreste to give you one. He'll do it I'm sure. We'll pick this up again tomorrow." ]
A comic request from @dark-chocolate-fudge-sweetracer based on their incorrect quote!
[image ID: a 4 panel comic depicting Willow talking to Luz, both in their season 1 outfits. Luz waves her hands and loudly declares "Amity and I are just friends!" Willow smirks at her and says "Hmm, that's weird I just saw you kissing her a moment ago." Luz begins to look flustered and is sweating slightly as she says "What? You're mistaken Willow, there was just something on Amity's left eye... and there's nothing weird about one friend, helping another friend, blow and remove it for her," and Willow looks at her suspiciously. Willow smirks at Luz and says "Oh really!?" Luz is very flustered now and blushes bright red as she says, "Yes really!!" The comic is mostly uncolored except for the characters' eyes, blush, and speech bubbles, as well as a purple border.]
Sequel to this
For people who don't know Pokémon, Mewtwo isn't a naturally occurring pokémon, he's a clone! He was created from another pokémon's dna to be used as a weapon---I think Hunter and Vee would would relate.
[image ID: a 3 page comic depicting the hexsquad plus Luz's hatched palisman, the egg-bodied pokémon Togepi. Luz holds Togepi in her arms and addresses her friends saying, "Guys, I want you all to meet my palisman! Togepi! Amity, Willow, Hunter, and Vee all oo and aww over it while Gus asks, "Cool! Is it based on a human realm animal?" Luz answers, "Well, actually no. He's a pokémon!" The five friends stare at her blankly. Luz realizes her mistake and continues, "Oh right that doesn't mean anything to you. A pokémon is... Hmm... maybe it would be easier to just show you guys a few episodes. Oo and the movies!" Several hours later Pokémon The First Movie is on the tv screen at the part where the pokémon Mewtwo says, "I see now the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Hunter and Vee are sobbing. Amity leans in to Luz to whisper, "Are they gonna be alright?" Luz says, "Maybe this was a bad idea.]
My totally Real and completely Serious prediction for season 3.
Sequel here!
[Image ID: a four page comic depicting Luz talking to her egg palisman. The egg sits on a table on a nest of blankets while Luz slumps on the table and looks at the egg sadly. She sits up and sighs. Luz says "Sometimes I worry you'll never hatch." The egg has no response. Luz continues, "Y'know it's kinda funny. At the palismam adoption day a couple months ago, all I wanted was to be a witch, but I guess I didn't really know what that meant at the time." The egg is unresponsive. Luz starts to cry as she continues, "Now it feels like all I want is to get back to the Boiling Isles. I need to make sure they're okay. Eda. King. Everyone. The thing is, Eda and King, and then Willow and Gus, and everyone else, they were the first people to really 'get' me... I can't lose them... but I can't lose my mom either..." At this point her eyes are closed and she does not notice the egg begin to wiggle and crack. She says, "Really what I want is just to keep my loved ones safe and feel like there's a place where I belong. The egg cracks loudly and Luz's eyes open wide as she says "HUH!?" The egg wiggles some more, then pops out it's left foot with an interlock on it. Then it's right foot and both stubby arms pop out. The the top cracks open revealing a pointed head. The head unfolds to reveal her palisman is Togepi, a pokémon with an egg body and star shaped head. It happily says "Toh-gi! Toh-gi!" Luz gasps and stars and hearts fill her eyes. She says "Oh my gosh I love you so much!"
Colored a Hunter from my recent huntlow comic
[image ID: a digital drawing of Hunter in human clothing looking surprised and blushing. Next to him is an ellipses (three dots "...") suggesting he is thinking. He wears an unzipped red hoodie that covers his ears, a blue knit shirt, and brown fanny pack styled across his chest. The background is bright blue.]
Finding Familiarity in the New
This was inspired by the Lilith audio when she mentions a coworker gifted her a delicious bouquet of spiders. It takes place just a few days after arriving in the human realm.
(Click for better quality you know the drill)
--
[image ID: a 12 panel comic featuring Hunter and Willow. Hunter kneels to the ground gasping and cupping his hands. He says "Willow look! They have spiders in the human realm too!" Willow also gasps and says "Let me see!" as Hunter passes the spider (which is not visible to the viewer) to her own cupped hands. The two admire the spider and Willow says "It's so pretty." Willow then raises her hands to her mouth to eat the spider with a loud chomp noise. She and Hunter stare at each other with blank expressions before bursting into laughter. Hunter calms down enough to ask "Hey! What if I wanted it?!" to which Willow replies, "Nah you would have given it to me anyway, you like me too much." Hunter blushes at that and is speechless for a minute before nervously chuckling and admitting, "Yeah I really do." Willow hums in confusion and Hunter's change in demeanor and asks, "You okay Hunter?" She then takes his hand and tells him "Come on, let's go find a spider for you too." End.]
Oh I wanna know. Oh yes I wanna know, the name of the game.
The Name of the Game by ABBA is the huntlow song I do not take criticism
[image ID: 4 digital illustrations of Hunter and Willow from various scenes of Any Sport In A Storm accompanied by song lyrics. The first shows Hunter and Willow playing flyer derby when she passes him the flags in midair as he tries to catch her. The lyrics read, "If I trust in you, would you let me down?" The second shows Willow in the jail cell berating herself as Hunter watches from behind the bars. The lyrics read, "Would you laugh at me?" The third shows Hunter jumping in front of Willow and the entrails to protect them from Darius. The lyrics say, "If I said I care for you," which continues into the fourth saying, "Could you feel the same way too?" It shows Hunter and Willow looking back at each other as he pleads with her to go. In all the drawings Hunter, Willow, and the words are colored entirely in green and yellow while the backgrounds are grayscale.]
This is actually a color layer for a larger piece I'm working on but I thought it looked kinda cool just like this
[image ID: a digital drawing of the silhouettes of Hunter and Willow playing flyer derby when Willow falls through the air and passes Hunter the flags as he attempts to catch her. The Hunter silhouette is colored solid yellow while the Willow silhouette is colored solid green with the exception of her yellow glasses.]

I just think they're neat
[image ID: a digital drawing of Katya and Steve from The Owl House from the knees up. They are both smirking and mirroring each other's posture, with Katya holding Steve's coven mask up and her other hand on her hip, and Steve holding Katya's BAT mask up and his other hand in his jacket pocket. They are both wearing their casual outfits and the background is an orange scribble.]
ps. if anyone else thinks they're neat i'm also writing a fic ok bye
@edoro suggested Hunter wearing Willow's clothes and it was too cute of an idea for me to resist.
Hunter's clothes don't fit Willow quite right but she does like the socks he made her!
This drawing also forced me to confront the very real possibility that Hunter may not have a belly button. Sorry for making you all think about that
[image ID: A digital drawing of Willow and Hunter standing next to each other and giggling. Willow is wearing a dark green t-shirt with three orange pine trees on it, yellow shorts, and socks resembling her bee palisman, Clover. Hunter is wearing Willow's light yellow t-shirt with a daisy on it, her green sweat pants, her mushroom print socks, and his usual gloves. The shirt and pants are loose and short on him, revealing his ankles and his abdomen which lacks a belly button. The background is a light blue squiggle.]
If you are old like me then this poster still haunts your nightmares

When you have to be strong and wise to protect your loved ones but you're also afraid of ladybugs....
(this takes place after Labyrinth Runners because that's when I first thought of it and I finally got around to drawing it now)
[Image ID: a 9 panel colored comic featuring Willow and Hunter. In Panel 1, Willow shouts, "Hunter! Watch out!" while casting a spell circle. In Panel 2, Hunter looks up and hums in confusion, he does not see a vine approaching from the right edge of the frame. In Panel 3, the vine has grabbed an alarmed Hunter's wrist and begins to pull him. Panel 4 shows Willow on the far right holding the vine, and Hunter on the far left being dragged through the air. They are drawn with less detail to exaggerate the distance between them. In Panel 5, Willow now holds Hunter bridal style as she says "Phew! That was close!" Hunter is visibly distressed and asks, "What is it Captain? Did you see more coven scouts?" Willow looks serious in Panel 6 as she begins to answer, "Even worse--" and continues in Panel 7 exclaiming, "A Ladybug!" and we see a zoomed in drawing of the bug. Panel 8 shows a very perplexed looking Hunter with three buffering symbols in the background. In the 9th and final panel Willow is still holding Hunter as she cheerfully says, "Don't worry! You're safe now!" Hunter thinks to himself "Does she not know ladybugs are harmless? Does Willow know something about ladybugs that I don't? She's still holding me. Should I say something? Does she think the bug is a coven scout? Is the bug a coven scout? [the word 'is' is underlined for emphasis] And she's still holding me. Oh thank Titan I finally showered. If I don't say anything will she keep holding me? It feels nice." Hunter only says out loud, "Thank you?" Every panel has a white background and green border. End ID.]
Porter Bros re-establish contact with the giraffes.
(please don't tag as ship)
[image ID: a digital drawing of Gus and Hunter visiting a giraffe at the zoo. Gus is sitting piggyback on Hunter's shoulders and the both of them are looking upwards in awe at a giraffe. The giraffe has come to the edge of the fence around its enclosure and is craning its neck towards the boys. Hunter and Gus are both wearing human clothing, with Hunter covering his ears with a hoodie and Gus illusioning his ears to appear round. The background shows a dirt path through grass, a sign post directing towards different animal exhibits, and a few trees.]
[plain text: Porter Bros re-establish contact with the giraffes.]
[image ID: On the left is the same drawing as above, however the saturation of the background has been reduced so the subjects stand out more. On the right is a close up of Gus and Hunter. Gus is wearing a blue, pink, and white floral shirt, bluish gray pants, and pink sneakers. Hunter is wearing a red hoodie over a blue shirt, his brown fanny pack from Clouds on the Horizon (which is now styled cross-body over his chest instead of at his hip), blue ripped jeans, and dark purple sneakers.]

silly comic idea I had thatI had to draw immediately
[image ID: an uncolored two panel comic showing adult versions of Gus, Willow, and Hunter. In the first panel Gus laughs and says "Oh yeah Willow Hunter had a HUGE crush on you back then!" In the second panel Willow also laughs and says "Awww babe! You had a crush on me? That's so embarrassing!" Hunter raises an eyebrow and says "We're married." Willow responds "Yeah but still."]
that one scene from frozer except it's boyfriend by dove cameron
[image ID: a digital drawing of Kagami and Marinette. Kagami leans in close to Marinette's face and whispers "I could be a better boyfriend than him." Marinette is flustered and blushes. The entire drawing is colored in varying shades of blue.]
seriously if marigami not canon then why this
[image ID: a screenshot from the episode Frozer showing Kagami lean in close to Marinette's face.]
The idea of huntlow sharing varsity jackets makes my brain explode okay
Inspired by this fic by @avatarmerida :)
[image ID: a back view drawing of Hunter and Willow from the waist up. They are holding hands and wearing each other's Emerald Entrails varsity jackets, with Hunter wearing it properly and Willow wearing it draped on her shoulders. The background is purple with light purple hearts and frame.]
thinking about this scene from hunting for palismen. how Hunter so subtly moves his head when Belos strikes. how it seems he's rehearsed this hundreds of times. how he's clearly scared but not surprised. how his scar is actually probably a collection of scars instead of one big one.
[image ID 1: a digital drawing of Hunter's profile from the shoulders up. He has a neutral expression on his face. His scar is drawn as multiple cuts of varying shades of pink. The background is dark blue nearly black.]
[image ID 2: a screenshot from the episode Hunting for Palismen depicting Belos's cursed limb striking dangerously close to Hunter's face as he flinches.]
[image ID: a fully colored drawing of Gus and Mattholomule from the waist up. Matt looks very irritated and his face is very red. He yells "You should be addicted to shutting up!" Gus has a smug grin and says back "You wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid." The background is a bluish gray color.]
Bonus:
This is canon Dana told me herself /j
[image ID: an uncolored drawing of Mattholomule. He still looks irritated however this time he is looking to the side to avoid eye contact with Gus and he is blushing up to his ears. He says "Yeah… well so what if I do!?" In the bottom left corner a very simplified drawing of Gus's face shows him with surprised eyes and blushing. An arrow points to Gus with a note that says "not expecting a real confession."]

They all cry themselves to sleep that first night...
[image ID: a fully colored digital drawing of the hex squad along with their palismen all sleeping while cuddled together on a pile of blankets and pillows. From left to right, Amity lays on her back and has one arm around Luz, who is laying on her side and has both hands around Amity's torso. Hunter is laying on his side facing the other way so he is back to back with Luz. Next to him, Gus lays on his back, while Willow lays on her side on Gus's other side. Hunter and Willow each have an arm protectively over Gus and have intertwined their hands over his belly. Ghost rests near Amity's shoulder, Flapjack near Hunter's belly, Emmiline near Gus's head, and Clover on Willow's torso. Amity and Luz wear pajamas that seem to fit well, Hunter wears a t-shirt and sweat pants that are too short for him, and Gus and Willow wear pajamas that are too big for them. All five kids have various bandages on their faces and arms, as well as tear stains on their cheeks.]

I wanted to get this out before the new episode comes out in a few hours. Please enjoy these best brothers before the pain comes!
[image ID: a digital drawing of Mattholomule and Steve cropped above the waist. Steve is winking and using his hand to block the side of his mouth as he leans closer to Mattholomule and says "Sooooooo... which one is ~Augustus~?" with tiny hearts surrounding the name Augustus to emphasize the inflection. Mattholomule's face is bright red and he is scrunching up his eyes in embarrassment. Through clenched teeth he says "Stop Talking!!!" Mattholomule is wearing his multitrack school uniform and Steve is wearing his leather jacket and name t-shirt. The background is green with a white boarder and a couple white lines running diagonally along the empty space.]
colored a willow from my huntlow comic to de-stress
[image ID: a portrait of Willow from the shoulders up. She is making a surprised facial expression and is blushing a lot. She is wearing her hair in braids, golden frame glasses, and her typical brown and yellow dress. The background is purple and a few blue exclamation points and question marks surround Willow.]
