Here He Is!

most of my waking thoughts these past few days were about these idiots :)

in short, the gravedigger (they/them pronouns) is hard of hearing, grew up with their father and took up his work as gravedigger when he died and is generally a mellow person and since meeting the priest, is slowly getting braver again to help people, even if the person they're trying to help dies/suffers anyways. they go out every night to look for dead bodies of the beasts and any other unfortunate souls that wander the forest and put them in graves that they dig during the day near their hut (the beasts leave them alone for the most part and usually don't attack them, i wonder why :)).

the priest (he/him) grew up in an orthodox orphanage (i think?) and trained to become a priest, thanks to the influence of his mentors and parent figures. he's really anxious and nervous, but reciting prayers has helped him cope with his anxiety attacks. he got sent to the village with another priest to bring hope and a helping hand during the beginning of the plague, though things escalated and he ended up wandering the forest with an infected wound on his leg, until he stumbled in the gravedigger's hut and almost died. the gravedigger amputated his leg and nursed him back to a slightly more stable health state and they've been living together and helping each other since :)) almost forgot, but the priest also really likes wood carving and he keeps injuring himself doing it, because he's rather clumsy with knives and the like

i'll probably end up revising the pierrot's and maybe the gravedigger's designs, but that's them for now! :D

i havent really been drawing at all for a bit now, but i have been crafting :)

lots of photos under the cut vvvvv

i kinda gave up on posting inktober stuff regularly and in order, buuuttt i kinda got back into beyblade? it was one of my favourite shows when i was younger and nile is kinda an alltime favourite character of mine. rewatching the anime with the english dub (instead of the german one i grew up with because i live in germany) made me realize in full effect how annoying/dramatic and sometimes ridiculously bad the voiceacting is and that i definitely favor niles german voice over his english one. and after looking at what the fandom has put out on tumblr and how little of that is of nile (especially of nile not being dressed in a ranchy arabic dancers outfit, he's 14-15, what the fuck) i decided to create the nile content i want to see, especially after seeing @minccinoocappuccino 's drawings of nile (and kyoya) with fennek fox ears.

i def wanna improve on how i draw him (and also draw some more characters, like my other favourite characters from mfb, yuu, johannes, motti, tithi, etc and of course the rest of team wild fang) and i also wanna draw atleast most of the other characters as pseudo furries too

first one of my second try of [...]tober combining prompts from different lists :D not gonna hold myself to any rules except like, only combining prompts of the same days, crediting the creators of the lists i used the prompts of and posting however much i manage to draw until the end of this year, don't wanna end up stressing myself out about this.

anyways, the prompts were nosebleed (goretober list by Lezi_gal on instagram) and comfort (magpieve inktober by @mossory )

i finally finished the second space clown :D

they're called the harlequin and they mostly hang around in the swamp (because they can't really leave it), trying to make anything that looks human enough laugh or atleast smile with some slapstick humour, balloon animals and confetti :) they've mostly given up on trying to find the pierrot, even though it physically hurts them to ignore that need to be together with their Space Clown Comrade

also, they squeak and bounce like a little squeaky bouncy ball :)

under the cut is a small video that shows off the sparkles better :)

new clown dropped 👉👈 (added some detail shots to make up for the tunglr qualityTM)

they continued on until they found a travelling circus, where they observed the clown performances and picked up a trick or more, for an example, they learned how to make humans laugh, a sound that the clowns like to hear!

a few years later they ended up joining another travelling circus in a bigger city and started touring with them through poland, until they had to stop for the night in a big forest :) that night just so happened to be the night when things started to change in Darkwood, directly impacting the clowns. the pierrot ended up unconscious for several years, their limbs tangled in the twisting branches of some particularly dense growing trees, until they were woken up by the gravedigger, who had already made a grave for them, which they kindly refused to be burried in. the gravedigger brough them back to their hut, where the pierrot was able to sort out their thoughts, show the priest a funny little trick with some rags, and then bid them farewell, as they realised their harlequin wasn't anywhere near them. they've been trying to find the harlequin since, which is made difficult by the Being that changed the woods and its inhabitants, as the Being instinctively suppresses the connection between the clowns and leads them away from each other with false signals without noticing what it's doing (similar to how an organic body would close and slowly heal a wound, without the body's host having to focus on it to do it).

the pierrot usually stays away from the villages, but sometimes stumbles upon lone wanderers in the woods. whenever they do, they often try to show the other one a little trick or goof to make them laugh, wether the recipient is a surviving human, dog or mangled beast doesn't matter
