I just wanted to practice anatomy, not to draw FULL ASS REFERENCE SHEET FOR BELOS AGAINš
Also yes, long time wanted to make a ref for his scars, curse and also HOW TALL AND SCRAWNY HE IS! LIKE. LOOK AT HIM. Hes a walking horror show and i love it. Must likely he hates his body and doesn't want to look at it because it is a best reminder for what a monster he became.
oh, you ! you. art! boy oh boy! h! art!
yes! Me! I create art! Glad you like my stuff :3
Headcanon that Shadow has a ear tattoo after ripping off his tag because it was annoying (obvious, demeaning, humiliating and so much more than that)
Donāt worry, he regenerated!
Part two of declawed Shadow
Part one part three
Basically just exploring the idea of Shadow having his ānatural hazardsā being removed for āsafetyā reasons. This has lasting effects
Rough concept sketch
I surprised that I havenāt seen much Shadow and Maddie stuff considering it brings in a potentially interesting dynamic of Vet/loving parent and Ex-lab animal/traumatized child. Iām definitely going to be exploring this concept further in the future cause Iām obsessed.
Shadow also swaying side to side a bit because his body is stressed from being captive for 50 years.
I wish we got to see him fight more in the show. Show me how he fights when he actually mad or doing stuff closer to his full potential! He so op and people donāt acknowledge it. That fact he did all that with a staff he wasnāt even familiar with!
yall gotta STOP saying hunter was trying to kill amity in eclipse lake. he was not. he was going out of his way not to kill her. his goal was to get the key and to get the key only.
lets discuss in detail.
absolute first thing that happens: King wehs Hunter
Hunter gets Flapjack staff
He teleports twice, says 'real staffs are weird' and then amity ties him up. he teleports out of this into the air.
then we has his first actual aggressive non defensive move:
This is an AOE attack. area of effect. its an attack that does less damage but hits a larger area. so this sends bolts of magic scattering and bouncing all over the place. none of them actually HIT her. and this attack does not aim at her. It purely puts her on the defensive because she is now dodging blasts.
she hops off her staff to block one and then hunter teleports in
he is now behind her and she is caught off guard. he does not attack her flank, he just reaches for the key, before king tackles him.
he teleports behind her again, and this time comes in with a swing.
one she easily blocks. again, not a magical attack here. staff bash.
okay now follow this:
hes here, with her shield
he zaps over here, lower, moves to swing but doesnt, zaps again
baps her again after her shield has already moved above her head
she moves her shield left, he comes in right but hes not even swinging.
amity punches his fucking lights out and then orbs him
he hits her with this construction punch that knocks her off her staff before she can escape
and finally he breaks the necklace with his staff.
none of these attacks were lethal. he hits her with an AOE instead of a direct attack- and she didnt have a shield up yet because she had JUST used it to tie him up, then he hops around with, frankly, some staff bashes that are really holding back from what we know hes capable of, he knocks her off her staff and then when he has the opportunity to actually HIT her he hits the key instead.
compare this to the way he fights kikimora!
he nearly gets his head taken off when she scrapes his forehead and the next attack he blocks with his eyes on Kikimora, not the attack. thats like, important. that indicative of skill level.
especially because he does it twice in a row! the second time one handed! Left handed!
look at the completely different posture he zaps in to strike with. the hits on amity he is holding back.
this little bastard does a front flip mid teleport to generate strength behind this strike.
look how effortlessly he does this. imagine how many rotations that is in a single second. hes not even looking at it OR his hands. hes spinning that one handed.
ive trained on a bo staff. this shit is not easy. i trained for two years and couldnt get anywhere near that. just watch this video of noah fort going apeshit to see what this actually looks like irl.
he fucking... hits it back at her....
this little man can spin a staff so fast he can reflect magic and control the direction it fires. he hit kikimora so hard he sent her flying twenty feet.
if hunter had wanted to kill amity she'd be fucking dead dude. amity is a good fighter, like, don't get me wrong. but hunters op as absolute shit. hes a terrifying little man. he also fought her completely differently than he did kiki, and he wasnt even trying to kill her. we've never seen Hunter fight all out like, fight to the death when he was still at full strength. we have no idea what that would look like. but we know that fight with amity was faaaaar from his potential. intentionally. he is seriously holding back and clearly on purpose. its not just that hes exhausted already, its not just that he has a new staff, its that he is holding back. he is not using lethal techniques.
been thinking about a scenario where Hunter accidentally acquires a baby brother after the show š¤
OBSESSED WITH THE GHOUL AU. thinking about that offhand comment camila made in thanks to them about getting blood for the witches to drink if she had to. she would flip OUT if she knew Hunter was pretty much starving himself.
Hereās a more comedic version of what I got cooking up.
When Camila brings up diet stuff with the kids, Hunter briefly thinks about admitting his blood thirst but decides against it.
When the incident does happen, Camila blames herself for not noticing sooner. She briefly questions in her head why he didnāt say anything but puts those thoughts down quickly. She apologizes and immediately tryās figuring out ideas to accommodate for his diet.ļæ¼(Sheās definitely flipping out but tryās to keep cool for Hunter but this kid sheās been caring for has been starving himself for months and is apparently a ācannibalā-)
Hunter feels guilty for Camila and his friends blaming themselves and thinks of himself as a burden and a monster despite them trying to reassure him heās not.
The idea of Hunter going to human college and suffering is honestly so funny to me, same with Vee.
Probably also includes a lot of gawking at the ears and scars if he decided to not use a concealment stone
