Short comic from my AU! I will drop a few notes into the read more about the scene, plus my typical nonsense in the tags.
The character shown in panel 5 is intended to be this AU’s hero character, Chris, wearing an amethyst robe (as he’s a budding mage). I will also mention that in this AU, Terraria can bring back to life (when not weakened -- hence why she couldn’t restore the Dryad race) those who have provided great service and died an unnatural death, though it’s not a very pleasant experience. Andrew (Guide) has been brought back many, many times at this point, though he does still harbor some worries that if the WoF is defeated, he’ll have served his purpose and will remain dead. He is making logical sense with pointing out that merely killing the WoF may not free him from his curse, though -- the old man has essentially been traditionally cursed/bound to Skeletron against his will, so destroying Skeletron will free him, but Andrew has always been the WoF; there’s nothing to be separated there when it’s one soul. That doesn’t mean he’s happy about it, but he’s had plenty of time to accept it.
Despite how they talk to each other, Andrew and the old man are friends in this AU. Andrew’s actually the elder of the two, funnily enough, even if he physically appears to be fairly young. Even before the old man is freed of his curse, Andrew will visit him by the dungeon, though he doesn’t stay for long. I originally planned this scene to have them having a picnic together, then realized I didn’t want to draw food, so Andrew is instead dropping off some supplies and is given a book stolen from the dungeon in return.
I have a lot more to say about this AU, but I don’t want to stick a mile long text blog into this post, so I’m going to cut it off here. Thanks for reading!
Parting words
look i get that sometimes characters dying is like good for the story or whatever but consider. i want them all to be alive and have family dinners together. check and mate
I drew this at 5 AM instead of studying so that’s cool
I started off just wanting to draw Chris wearing fledgling wings (as in, the item), and then decided to give Andrew and Malik just straight-up bird wings for fun.
Nothing here is colored, but I imagine Malik’s wings to be black like crow feathers. A sort of combination of his general shadiness and wits.
Andrew has phoenix wings. He vehemently denies this and claims they’re cardinal feathers. (The tips of his feathers are jagged and black, almost like they’ve been charred. He, again, ignores this.)
Victor gets his hair brushed/pulled into a queue and Henry drags him off to a party. I still enjoy the short hair, or at least crazier-haired designs, of them both but this image got stuck in my head. I also noticed I tend to skip out on the frocks in casual sketches, which is a shame, so...they’re getting dressed up.
Conglomerate blog of whatever media I'm getting really into at the moment. PMs/Asks are always open!!
