MZ And Rock! This Was A Valentines Gift For My Wife, As We Got Married This Year! I’m Aware I’m Like,

I am so sorry for my absence! Kara and I have been working nonstop of the scripting phase of our webcomic, so I haven’t been doing much art as of late… To make up for it, this last week I’ve been burning down the candle to make these! These are Soul Wines, and I had a lot of fun making them. Kara and I have been talking, and they’ll be stickers for sure, and possibly charms/keychains!!!

Here’s the excerpt we have for them. ^v^

Soul Wine.

Souls can be used in a variety of ways, but a common one for Demons to use is Soul Wine. It is a ‘wine’ that has the appearance of stars in a bottle, most of the time, the liquid is semi-transparent to not very, but can be seen through (look to: Apache Tears stones). Upon peering in, sometimes one can see a 'star’ or tiny ball of light– a soul. The wine is made by adding a minimum of 8 to thousands of souls in a bottle, and letting it keep for a number of years, after all of the souls’ essence has melded into the dark/transparent black color the wine is known for. 

A 'cheap’ wine is made when souls of the wrong kind of sin are put in the same bottle. It tastes poor, and like a gross mix of 'flavor.’   Humans and mortals cannot drink this wine, as the monstrous entity that is the combination of souls will attempt to overtake the drinker’s body, and add their soul to the concoction before possessing the empty shell. These die fast due to the lack of the correct host, but are extremely dangerous.  

Soul Wine can change in appearance, and there are different kinds for each sin. 

Wrath, for instance, is the darkest of the seven in color, and the bottle housing such aggressive souls will occasionally rattle with fury. The souls inside will sometimes take the appearance of hands attempting to break the glass.

Greed sometimes has a gold 'stars’ instead of white, and occasionally gems, currency, and precious metals will accumulate on the bottom. Don’t place your hand inside, or it will try to pull you in as well. This does not matter if you are a demon, immortal, or not. Drinking it is fine for immortals, but do not take things that are not yours.  

Lust smells like the things you already adore, normally the perfume of a person you love and/or the scent of your favorite place. It is the most aromatic of the seven drinks.  Drinking it sometimes makes you a little more truthful than you want to be. There are lipstick stains and lavender that appear on the inside, though this is not necessarily what it smells like.  

Looking into the bottle of Envy will make you see what you desire the most. Different than Lust, it shows you what you desperately want, and cannot have, or have yet to achieve. Glancing inside, sometimes you will see eyes watching you back. Green smoke billows from it.  

Gluttony is pitch black, and consumes light. Nothing glows from inside it, though there are souls within the mixture. Sharp teeth curl around the inside of the bottle, and will eat anything that falls into it. The more souls in a bottle of Gluttony, the more teeth there will be.

Pride is the lightest coloring of Soul Wine, and is known for its sparkle. It literally glitters as it’s poured into a glass, and occasionally rings and pear necklaces, and diamond earrings will fall out as well. The bottle radiates glowing light with a dark shadow underneath. Sometimes peacock feathers are inside.  

Sloth is thicker than the others, and pours out with the viscosity of honey. The souls in this bottle are larger than average and function in the glass like ice cubes, floating lazily to the top. If you squint, you can see text and words floating around. Sometimes these words grant inspiration, though you may have to battle with the desire to give any effort to such ideas. Sometimes sand gathers at the bottom.

As with all of my art, I have some guidelines:

Please do NOT tag as KIN, SELF, ETC.

Please do NOT copy, trace, crop, repost, etc.

Please do NOT use this for icons without asking me first.

Please do not remove my captions!

-Thank you!

About

Hi, I’m Cris!

You can refer to me as she/her/they/them/he/him, any and all pronouns are fine, I don’t mind or have a preference! ^v^

I have a penchant for writing stories and mini comics. As of the last 13 years, I’ve taken up an interest in RPing both here on Tumblr and in private with friends.

A lot of the characters (and AUs) you’ll see in my art come from those RPs, and I’m always happy to talk about them to anyone who asks~ Otherwise it’s a whole lot of fan art or AUs.

My partner is Kara on @rockwell-light, and we make a LOT of things together, including running an art-business account on @auxwave-creations where we post all sorts of cool merch and products!

 Frequently Asked Questions

I JUST FOLLOWED YOU. IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW?

Tumblr does have a huge bot problem right now, of which some usernames are stolen older ones.

If your icon looks like the default icon, and I don't see anything on your blog that could differentiate you from a bot, there is a chance I could block you. 😅 I promise that it's nothing personal, I just don't like bots following my accounts, and it's hard to tell the difference.

Just liking one of my posts + a follow, sending me an ask to let me know, or showing activity on your blog (reblogs, different icons or headers, or text in the header post) helps me a lot in determining if you're an actual person or not. ❤️

CAN I USE YOUR ART FOR MY ICON/WALLPAPER/BANNER, ETC?

Some art I am okay with, and others I'm not. Please ask me first-- it takes just a few seconds. Also please, PLEASE credit me if I say it's okay.

DO YOU TAKE REQUESTS?

Not normally, no. Art is something I want to eventually use to make a living, and this is unfortunately counterproductive to that. SOMETIMES, though, I don't mind drawing fanart of characters from fandoms I like, or quick doodles of my own characters.

ARE YOUR COMMISSIONS OPEN?

The answer is most often YES! I'm currently taking commissions through my Ko-fi, but if you're looking for something specific, please DM me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ^v^

CAN I ASK ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS?

Omg yes PLEASE?! I'd love to get questions about my OCs, and the worlds Kara and I write. Literally getting asked about them makes my day 1000 folds better.

Remember Death

XZero Week 2024 - Together

Collaboration between me and @rockwell-light for the 8th day! She drew X and I drew Z~ ❤️

We thought it'd be fun to collab on the final day, a double meaning for "Together" as a theme. ^v^

Current 2025 convention plans as of march 24th!

XZero Week 2024 - Promise

(This requires a great deal of context from our RP blogs involving time loops and multiversal chaos and you're welcome to ask me and my wife more about it, but here's the long and short of it:

Think of this as X getting a sort of premonition pre-X1. Z hasn't died (yet), so why did he have a nightmare about something that hasn't happened...? 🫠 )

Ref Sheet for one of my older AUs of MZ!

Just your typical Bad End AU where your lover dies and time resets so you choose to hide your identity from him so you don't have to endure the pain of falling in love with him and losing him all over again BUT man you're still in love with him and his charming personality and you actually can't stand being without him! :)
