Sunset (& Shimmer) versus the Siren Sisters.

Finally got to designing the Dazzlings. First time doing monsters too, it was fun. I'll post a synopsis of Sunset's story for the AU below the cut.

Once upon a time, there lived a human in Canterlot simply named "Sunset." She was the prized pupil of the Sun Witch Celestia (aside from Celestia's adoptive daughter, Cadance) –– her "little solar flare." But Sunset desired more than status; she wanted power –– she wanted to be a Witch. For when she looked in the mirror, she no longer saw a lowly human, but the Fire Witch she was meant to be.

The more Celestia denied her desires, the stronger her animosity grew. One night, Sunset performed a dark, forbidden ritual to commune with the spirit world and grant her a Witch's body. But the ritual backfired when Celestia stormed in. In the ensuing chaos, a piece of Celestia was transferred into Sunset and three wicked spirits were released into the physical world: the Siren Sisters –– Aria, Sonata, and the most powerful, Adagio.

Despite her best efforts to contain the sirens, Celestia could not stop them from escaping to Earth where she could not reach. Distraught, betrayed, and heartbroken, Celestia banished an inconsolable Sunset to Earth. Only once she vanquishes the three spirit blights she brought upon this world will she be allowed to return home.

Today, Sunset wanders the American West with her trusty steed Shimmer in search of the final and eldest sister. Through her years of traveling alone, her hatred burns hotter –– hatred of Celestia, hatred of the sirens, and hatred of herself.

crabs are literally being forcefemmed by barnacles every day and no one ever talks about it

#tbh the forcefemming of the host is one of the less weird aspects of sacculina

Methane breathing and slurpling aliens are so common a trope but usually as a throw away weirdness factor, I'm curious if some chemistry nerd has ever tried to make a story as an excuse to explore weird alien biochemistry

Can’t sleep.

Took a couple shots because I remembered being tipsy puts my ass to sleep. Accidentally too drunk and now I’m painting whatever the fuck this is.

May I offer lesbian paranormal investigator tension in these trying times?

Bonus stuff: made a character over the break named Nicotina! She's basically my own silly take on a combination of various character types smushed into one (see pic 4.)

The last picture is the first drawing I did of her! Outdated now beacuse she no longer has ears.

Her basic deal is she is a smoker's ghost who can be summoned from a haunted box of cigarettes.

She tags along with one of the heads of a small private hire team of paranormal investigators and all sorts of hijinks ensue obviously. They are basically love letter to cheesy ghost hunting eras of media but with two lesbians and one happens to be a sleezy nicotine spirit.

Love her and her partner so expect to see them more soon (perhaps a ref VERY soon even👀🚬👻)
