UnderTale AU
So I've been getting into folklore, irish folklore and I thought about undertale and made the connection in my head
The dogs/dog like enemies are wolfwalkers
And I was thinking of torial and Astrale and the king (I can't spell his name) being the Tuatha de danann or fairies
Maybe undyne being a selkie
Pucà somewhere, I'll think about it some more
I'll think more about it
The bog king coming together nicely.
FINALLY I’m making a comic (written by @sorrows-hand)
I did colour these two precious beacons of trans lesbian hope in the filthy grimdark pit of the whole Game-of-Thrones-meets-Silmarillion-and-they-spawn-an-abomination thing I'm writing
One of these Tuatha Dé Danann lesbian lovers is trans btw

A character from the dark fantasy book I’m writing. Spoiler alert: sapphic romance incoming
The Navigator Revisiting Manannán mac Lir in his youth, before the famous self-navigating boat was fully automated + the good old Early Irish practice of putting severed heads to household use
Another fanboying over Manannán mac Lir in the making
What the Tuatha Dé Danann could have seen when someone finally cried 'Land ahead!'
Inktober days 10 and 11 - ‘Nomadic’ and ‘Snacks’
Tír na nÓg / Ulster cycle Hatsune Miku
The Wren Prince II - Riding the Salmon of Knowledge
You might think that this is Maedhros, but this is not Maedhros. This is my OC, Prince Adhnár mac Earnáin of Síd Earnáin (yes, old king Cole Earnán is not exactly famous for his vivid imagination).
Truth be told, this is no Prince Adhnár either, this is Princess Áine. But since her life is hell atm, she is closeted even from herself for the time being (that won’t last forever, I promise).
'Finally, I have found you'
It's only a wip but yes, what we have here is two Tuatha Dé Danann kissing, one of whom is a bog body.
Everyone in this pic is fully sentient, consenting, and of proper adult age at the moment / when sacrificed, just in case. I have a weird idea of belated Beltane romance but it is what it is.
Orbsen mac Allot aka Manannán mac Lir giving a teenage Aengus Óg a much needed lecture on consent
Revisiting Manannán mac Lir in his youth. I suppose if Orbsen mac Allot, aka Manannán mac Lir, was born in our times and in our dimension, he would have collected nerd treasures such as Funko Pops, or vintage comics, or whatnot, like all of us mortals. But when you're a Tuatha Dé Danann prince and a pirate captain (don't take my word on it, check out Sanas Cormaic!), you have to make do with jewelry and elven heads. Sigh.
His majesty King of the Sea is not in the mood for kidding.
Enough graveyards for now, here come the princes of the sidhe!
These are young Bodb and young Orbsen, and they’re absolutely not amused.
pov: Lugh Samildánach offers you a game of fidchell. your bet?
Lugh Samildánach coming up nicely
Bodb Derg son of Dagda, High King over the Tuatha Dé Danann.
A commission of Brigid for @bloodtreachery (awww, it was SUCH a pleasure to do it!). I put an emphasis on her aspect as a poet, hence the fire of poetry ablaze! The poem in the flames is a liberal translation of these lines from The Hosting of the Sidhe into Old Irish (courtesy of my wonderful husband):
...if any gaze on our rushing band, We come between him and the deed of his hand, We come between him and the hope of his heart.
Just a kindly reminder that this hungry trans doctoral student artist is taking commissions! Your favourite deity / literary or DnD character / living or not so living person can be drawn for you in 3-7 days max in this style (normally 2-3 but being on the safe side here).
