So happy to meet December again! Was immediately inspired to draw them.

&quotThey wear a curious mask: not quite a fox, not entirely a wolf. All white.&quot (FL)
&quotIs that their mask, or their face? You do not recall them removing it to eat.&quot (SS)

The words are taken from here.

This was for my 3rd OC in FL, but didn’t go beyond that.

Thank you!

Mask Of The Rose doodles:

First I simply had an urge to sketch Phoebe while writing/translating the 3rd chapter of my recent fanfic… then random headcanons took over.

Mask Of The Rose again.

Thanks for your gift, May, but the Horned Crown still looks best on you , however heavy its burden may feel.

…And I realized that my player character needs a visual reference sheet, not just walls of text.

Just a quick Evolution moodboard:

Processing the Youthful Naturalist’s story (in addition to all that) also motivates me to write/draw/make something in memory of all my relatives who passed away.

Plus the involvement of the Bishop of St Fiacre’s makes me remember Heart’s Desire → the Manager (not like I ever forget him, huh) → despair of wishing to save a dying loved one, and inability to get over it long after, and depression (theirs too, in my latter case), and so on.

Though I don’t know exactly what. Yet. But I guess I really need to think about it.

Another of my player characters: the Possessed* Pirate**

1 – (not actually possessed; it’s consensual cohabitation)
2 – (not actually a pirate; law just needs an official excuse to hunt him without disclosing the existence of dark Judgements and a thriving Liberated land with ways to there right in the Unterzee)

Pictured: his future in Sunless Skies when he will give his remaining eye to the spider-senate in the White Well, and will move his eyepatch to the opposite side, finally revealing the mark of the Halved and relying on its alien vision.

Finally written and translated the last chapter of my longest FL(-and-actually-every-Failbetter-game) fic:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/51124414?view_full_work=true

(Contains: hungry hotels; ace courtly love of a femme knight; best Neathy violinists; dark eldritch gods as co-conspirators and dance partners; petting cats.)

Some drawing practice in search of a more stylized approach… And at the same time, experimenting with combining May’s canon design with my old attempts.

For Hallowmas: my character donning the Masque of the Red Death – perfect for attending without invitations, especially the Red-and-Gold Gala at the Royal Bethlehem Hotel with its unreality-within-reality fitting this reference-within-reference. (I have a whole fic about that, yes.)
