Deltarune’s colour palettes/style sparked the mood for a new OC AU; Knight/Bard AU?
Terra is a Cursed Knight out for a cure and vengeance, while Harriet is a flirtatious fishwoman bard following along and helping best she can on the way.

They may or may not fall for each other in this AU.

Inktober Day 1- Poisonous

Went to my heart-of-hearts and thought of the flowers I hesitate to ever grow due to their poisonous reputations. Aconitum, Digitalis, and Solanum (admittedly I chose bittersweet nightshade for the reference which isn’t the nastiest member of Solanum but shhh).

But man, HOW IN TF DID I DRAW THIS LIKE WOW.

The third and final concept sketch of armour for the Fallen Slayer OC lady armoured set- Anne’s armour. I imagine her armour to be heavy (her body frame is quite suitable and able to hold up in such weighty protection) and shiny black, possibly coarse in texture despite being of metal alloy (I considered before her using some kind of special creature’s hide that’s resistant to her own lava magic but now idk.. regardless of material it has to be able to take the literal heat though). I’ve had the image of that helmet and Anne breathing out black smoke through it for some time, nice to finally try to get the idea down on paper. I admittedly avoided hands and the waist down for this sketch cause obvious reasons but shhhhh.

Hope you guys like!

Concept sketch of Kayla’s armour. Unlike Demauria’s, Kayla’s armour is meant to be very much metal/plate type for electric magic conductivity. The only thing NOT metal is that dress underneath the plating, much to Terra’s strong chagrin (she no like the dresses, especially if she’s the one designing battle gear, Kayla is a stubborn commissioner though).

This may totally break the “Fallen Slayer Knights look scary” rule/aesthetic in a way that I don’t like, but this is so fitting to Kayla’s damn personality that I can’t decide whether to be mad or impressed at the results lmao. Now all’s left is to draw a concept of Anne’s armour next.

My brain kept going “why does her helmet shape feel so familiar and protagonist-like?” then I realized

oh

Hoepian Flora- Kissumeria tree (Kissumeria cordeflorum)
The tree of love, passion, and romance, it is quite fitting that it is the descendent of the Bleeding Heart flower (Lamprocapnos spectablis). Discarding its herbaceous perennial growth habits, it instead evolved a weeping tree-like habit. Some Kissumerias bloom every spring and autumn, while others bloom year round. A very rare tree to see, when seen it is found along cool mountain riversides, moist northern woodlands, and private gardens. Besides seed, this tree can also reproduce asexually from suckers that infrequently sprout up naturally.
It’s name “Kissumeria” comes from the sound “kissu” (the sound of kissing). The scent of the flowers is considered a weak aphrodisiac, causing the human/dragon smeller to have an urge to kiss people that they find to be attractive (or to be more precise, make the smeller kiss people that they see as their significant other/soul mate). The stronger the scent (and the more emotionally attached the smeller is to the person), the more passionate the kiss may become. This makes it a popular ingredient for both love potions and aphrodisiac medications. It is also traditionally hung up in the spring like mistletoe in some localities.
Due to the overuse of these traditions, and the fact that the flowers’ scent causes people to kiss against their initial will and consent, some towns and cities have bylaws prohibiting the growth and usage of Kissumeria flowers and fruit. The wood, known as Kissuwood, can be used decoratively for furniture and handle ornamentation due to the inner wood’s unique blue and red ring colouration. Because of the tree’s rarity, having Kissuwood items or furniture is a symbol of high status. The Heartslavia Ardor Gardens have an abnormally large specimen tree named Utena, which is the only specimen of its kind and age to be displayed in a public garden.

DONE. FINALLY, GOT THE DAMN THING DONE. I have never, ever, worked this hard and long for one plant profile illustration. It was worth it, but holy crap, the file size and number of layers involved made it that even my sharp mac was getting super duper laggy (it even crashed once I ended the art stream tonight).

Unlike previous profiles, this one is a redux from an older drawing/profile from years ago. peaceypanic was originally the one to request me to draw this tree as I recall, from when I was asking for what fantasy flora of mine that people wanted to see (I hope you like it).

Mentioning orions-patch, tabgha, fishmostly, crazy-fish-dude, shadowermin, heckerse, soranova, shiroikira, and homucifur so that they don’t miss this post either~ (so many of you tried so hard to come and watch my streams even though it was the same thing the past week… thank you so much).

If you can’t vent to people the praise/hype (flaws and all) that is Shantae & The Pirate’s Curse after completing it for the first time, then the best thing you can do is draw fanart of your granddaughter the MC herself. Also let her monkey transformation wield a freaking sword plz Wayforward combine the pirate weapons and her spells as one.
