The Demon Family 

Guess who found Artbreeder and wasted a whole day on it.

There are already portraits of the Batfamily on Artbreeder. And I initially played around with the Batfamily portraits. Then I decided to do the Al Ghul’s since I couldn’t find a lot of portraits. So a lot of these look wonky since I did do a lot of them from scratch. Everyone except Talia and Damian; who I did heavily edit anyways.  Also Artbreeder is limited in it’s capabilities but I did try to give Mara her red highlights in the front. I could not figure out how to giver a scar and making one eye pink and another green. Scars aren’t thing that Artbreeder likes. Also Mara was difficult since we still have no idea who her mother is. I wanted to give Athanasia an undercut but that’s not an option in Artbreeder either

Anyways please cut me some slack with the portraits since Artbreeder is really new to me. And I am not an artist so please keep that in mind.

In order from top to bottom:

Sensei; Ruh Al Ghul; Ra’s Al Ghul; Melisande Al Ghul; Talia Al Ghul; Nyssa Al Ghul; Dusan Al Ghul; Athanasia Al Ghul; Damian Al Ghul; Mara Al Ghul

Let me know if I should do a separate post with the Batfamily. Even though there are a bunch of posts of the batfamily using artbreeder already.

Given that [Awful Triad Horror-Show] is intended to be an illustrated web serial vs any sort of sequential art project, I spent entirely too long worried about color motifs, but here they are! The triad in question, the three POV characters, who all get to whack each other with a stick to trade off protagonist/antagonist/love interest roles.

---

Aedin Starosta, Magus Artificer Superior, has been sent to the Prince's mountain court as a visiting scholar and researcher with no official diplomatic capacity. A member of the Magerium sent in the spirit of friendship. Unofficially, it's universally understood that he has been nominated for the dubious position as the prince's future advisor, and is meant to be making inroads there in the interest of strengthening those relationships prior to any power exchange on the Imperial throne. In reality, and understood by only Mage Starosta himself, he is in political exile--and his superiors are banking on him pissing the prince off enough to get himself killed.

Prince Konstantin Martis Wendelin Vacil, First Prince Stalwart and heir apparent of the Callisian Empire, is brooding in the mountains between campaigns. A man grown, with an impressive military career behind him, he is ill-at-odds with peacetime and the sharp decrease in power, duties, and personal freedom it brings, and the stifling culture of niceties and expectations he has to operate within. Hamstrung by his distant father, Konstantin is increasingly frustrated with the limits place upon him and his father's refusal to die or release them, and vents those frustrations more and more often the lesser nobility, younger songs, and out-of-favor castoffs from the Imperial Court who surround him. The arrival of a foreign mage with a singularly offensive manner and his outrageous, dangerously intriguing proclivities may just be the breaking point.

Melisande, the Consort Imperial, is not human. They are Konstantin's closest companion and advisor, created at the moment of his birth as laid out in the pact made at the advent of the Empire, when the first emperor made a contract with extraplanar forces that locked his bloodline to their clade and promised a permanent, physical form, in return for power--enough power to establish the Callisians as a major threat. The Lady Melisande, the mountain court and the Empire at large knows them as, but beneath the sharp-tongued temptress they are furious, a trapped creature rendered invulnerable by their otherworldly nature and powerless by the chains of their station. The newest visitor to the mountains is at first a novel victim to terrorize, but he brings with him tools of magic and ancient, lost knowledge that redefine everything Melisande knows to be true.

I'm slowly putting together the pieces of their story, and I'm SO excited with everything new I'm finding out about their world. I've not been able to draw in a while, and I've not written anything substantial for even longer, but I'm getting back into the swing of things and trying to build strong (and healthy! sustainable!) habits. I still don't know enough about the ending and outline to start writing properly, but I'm honestly shocked at how much I've accomplished, and getting closer every day :)

Probably my last post for 2023. It was fun drawing the same character over and over again throughout the year.

Just want y’all to know that the two names mentioned in Lestat’s song Come to Me, Palleas and Melisande, was an opera written in 1902, which Lestat would definitely have seen or even played a part while in France. The line “your Pelleas, my Melisande” is a reference to the doomed love affair between the two characters from the opera. The opera itself is based on the Arthurian legend of the tragic romance.

you want a better story. who wouldn't? {ffxiv, one sided wolysayle yearning}

Chapter 1: I never liked that ending either

&

Chapter 2: So maybe I wanted to give you something more than a catalog of non-definitive acts

❆fandom: final fantasy xiv, ffxiv

❆characters: Ysayle Dangoulain, named Warriors of Light (Gwendoline, Seraphin, Teodore), elezen OC (Melisande), Hydaelyn

❆relationship: minor wol/wol, past oc/laniaitte, past ysayle/heustienne, heavily referenced wolysayle and ysayle/venat

❆dynamic: gen, implied f/f and m/m

❆rating: m

❆key tags: fix it fic, Ysayle Lives AU, recovery fic, POV Swap (Melisande > Ysayle), flashbacks, character study, Ysayle's mine now so I get to decide how she develops from here on out, Spoilers for late Heavensward and Stormblood

❆content warnings: cursing, implied character death, canon typical existentialism, irreality, grieving, character death, blood and gore typical of injuries, needles, family deaths, fire and related injuries, homophobic Ishgard as a setting

❆chapters: 2/? {ongoing}

❆words: 27,108 {chapter 1: 14,966. chapter 2: 12,142}

❆series: Snow and Dirty Rain {Ysayle Lives AU}

In a hail of bullets, Ysayle Dangoulain fell and this is where it should have ended. The Garleans bring her down, the Warriors of Light continue on, and one in particular remains deeply traumatized for the remainder of the story.

But that's not what happened, and somehow: Lady Iceheart yet lives, thanks to the effort of a dedicated few. ...But is this the land of the living? Or is this just one elongated, cruel joke?

Fix it fic/Ysayle Lives AU that's part of my Snow and Dirty Rain au. Timeline goes over the end of 3.0 to 4.0, and is predominantly in Ysayle's POV (chapter 1 is Melisande, chapter 2 is how things will go). From her recovery, to her building a new life for herself - Ysayle's newfound freedom allows her to explore what's going on in Ala Mhigo while the Warriors of Light are in Doma. A few misadventures, a lot of sapphic yearning - all of this to lead into i had a dream about you.

And here's my Valentine's Day post! I've sketched A Kiss for Them!

This was actually requested by one of my sisters (maybe two), who wanted me to draw Prometheus and Melisande kissing, and decided it should be the AU version. So here it is! Happy Valentine's Day!

[image description: digital illustrations of a family of high elf wizards on a grey background. they're all drawn from the shoulders up, in 3/4 profile facing toward the right. their names and the school of magic they specialize in are written in white cursive text beneath each portrait. there are eight of them in total, two parents and six children (drawn in birth order). somewhere on their person, they're each wearing a colorful crystal that corresponds to their preferred school of magic.

first is Sigmund (he/him), the patriarch of the family, an abjurer. he has pale skin, brown eyes, and short, neatly coiffed black hair. he's wearing a grey shirt under a white cloak with a high collar, fastened with two small dark blue crystals. his expression is neutral.

next is Erzebet (she/her), the matriarch, a conjurer. she has light skin, green eyes, and honey-colored hair pulled into a neat bun with a braid crown. she's wearing a fancy dress with a white bodice and dark grey puffy sleeves, and a pair of dangly bright green crystal earrings. she looks unimpressed.

next is Regorond (he/him), the oldest child, an enchanter. he has curly, honey-colored hair pulled into a low ponytail, green eyes, and a mustache. he's wearing a maroon vest over a white shirt and a white cravat fastened with a pink crystal. he has a charming, toothy smile.

next is Hestella (she/her), a necromancer. she has brown eyes and black hair worn in a severe bob that's shorter in the back and longer in the front. she wears a white lab coat, and a yellow crystal on a necklace. she has one eyebrow raised.

first on the second row is Fiodoril (they/he), a diviner. they have shoulder-length black hair, green eyes, and round glasses. they're wearing a white button-down beneath a blue robe. beneath the collar of his shirt, where a necktie should go, he is instead wearing a light blue crystal on a necklace. they're smiling sweetly.

next is Capranicus (he/him), a transmuter. he has brown eyes and short, curly, honey-colored hair that's shaved on one side. he wears a white jacket with a flared collar, a teal shirt, a teal choker, and a tiny orange crystal stud earring. he looks slightly amused.

next is Melisande (she/her), an illusionist. she has long black hair, green eyes, and dark purple lipstick. she's wearing a white sleeveless top underneath a dark purple cape fastened with a bright purple crystal. she looks annoyed.

last is Sendri (he/him), the youngest child, an evoker. he has black hair pulled into a messy bun, green eyes, and thick stubble. he's wearing a simple white shirt with a lace-up neckline and a red crystal on a necklace. he has a bored expression. end id]

room full of wizards.

I have been thinking about these npcs for like five years. none of them matter at all. the only important one is sendri and my players murdered him in session three. there's gonna be a big family reunion soon so we'll see how well they can hide the fact that someone else's soul is walking around in sendri's body

#bluh bluh #long post #firefell #tess draws things #hestella is a doctor because healing is literally necromancy and I love that for her so much. wotc cowards for calling it evocation #mel is just straight-up a bitch lmao. cap is the coolest one he transed his own gender and moved halfway across the continent #fio is a sweetheart but also a willing tool of the surveillance state #sigmund and erzebet are hyper-controlling capitalists and reggie's a politician so like. none of these people are good people lmao #sigmund #erzebet #regorond #hestella #fiodoril #capranicus #melisande #sendri

Bad Princess Movies Podcast has been commenting on the lack of spooky-themed princesses/princess movies, and I was like "...you know what, they're right." So I designed one myself.

Her name is Melisande and her kingdom is a monster/Halloween-y one with more of a pastel-goth aesthetic. Because who says Halloween colors have to be just red, orange, and black? Her animal friend is a cute little rat.

A scene that will always stay with me from Kushiel's Dart is when Phedre sees Melisande from across the way, looking all beautiful and mysterious in her black and gold house colours, buying horses at the caravan, and she inspires so much fear in Phedre on a cosmic level, that Phedre's entire world view narrows down to her presence.
