Sorry, I just couldn’t resist XD
Did you mean Earth’s Most Precious Sweethearts EVER?
And Tony, you sex fiend.
sollux is the court necromancer/psychic/mage who keeps feferi from harm. he’s unusually powerful for someone who wasn’t taken at a young age so the empress/baroness is v fond of him despite his blood colour (to eridan’s chagrin)
he was taught to understand the words of the dead by an old childhood friend but he hasn’t seen her in a long time……..
Some seadweller kisses. I’ve shipped this pretty much since forever at this point.
Even if it IS more sunk than the Titanic. Sigh.
This is reminding me that I need to get to work on art for the AU this is from so we can post chapter 1…
how i design trolls
yesterday there was a bit of talk about body type variation in how people draw the trolls on my dash! it made me think of how i approach drawing the trolls, and boy do i think about that a lot, haha.
it’s taken me a while to come up with my solid “headcanon” for the trolls shapes/faces, but now that i kind of have it down, i have trouble drawing them any other way.
my “shtick” for drawing trolls is that i base their entire design around their symbol/shape of the horns/zodiac/personality. in animation there are several visual stereotypes for different types of characters, and i basically just utilized these to create a cast of stylized characters that have variety but look like they could all belong to the same universe (and actually the 12 trolls are all related in some way so there are some shared traits between them.)
ANYWAYS, i am going to share with you my design rationale for each of the trolls. i wouldnt say so much this is “body type headcanon” and more like “character design pitches” haha. i haven’t tried to make every character like something wildly disparate from how fandom at large draws them— for a reason! certain stereotypes exist for a reason, because they are easily recognizable and relatable to the audience.
AND NOW, onto my explanations! (with crappy sketches)
