64- Whumpril Art Days 1-5

Instructions

CWs: violence in first image, blood on wolf’s jaws in second, substance abuse in fourth, and the front of a pewpew in fourth (as well as elaborations on these in the text below) I’m totally not wondering how the hell these pieces are made by the same person. This is my first time participating in a whump event, but I’ve been consuming whump for a while. I’m hoping to make all of my whump pieces my own characters. I had to put days one and two in protective sheets because if they stayed in my sketchbook, the graphite on the pictures would smudge like hell. in the first one (Beg), Ciarenen (left) is about to destroy Berkadee’s (right) gem. The gems on their cloaks are their life forces- basically their hearts. Ciarenen killed all of the other people, and Berkadee is terrified to die as well. But it’s alright. They’ll all be revived anyways and won’t remember a thing. In the second one (Bite), Dijon had been mauled by a wolf. He lost his left eye and can barely differentiate light from dark in the right one. I almost had to do an alt for this one, but then the idea struck me. I had a fun time trying to draw a wolf while also twisting it slightly to look not-normal (for the sake of the drawing. The wolf that attacked him was just a normal wolf). To clarify, the wolf isn’t actually biting the kid’s eye out in the picture. He’s just sitting there with blood on his teeth and such. In the third one (Crash, Alt: Clingy), Parsley (adult) is trying to comfort his clingy, neglected, adopted child Dër (dude I’ve tried changing his name but then my friends begged me to keep it. I named him this years ago because I thought it looked cool, but never sounded it out aloud. So now my character has a tragedeigh that’s pronounced as “dare” smh…) In the fourth one (Dazed), Al is my VERY TRAUMATIZED BOY HOT MAN- sorry, who said that? He has an unhealthy habit of using his sleep meds to sleep through the day when not at work and smoking weed to procrastinate. it‘s almost like Al has an allergy to facing his problems and dealing with his emotions. He doesn’t actually look like that, he’s an actual human, but it was some stylization or whatever it’s called. Idk I think it looks neat? realized too late i forgot his thumb on the other side of the pill bottle ;wilted rose; Can't get into too much detail about this one on scratch, but essentially- Dijon is getting back at his family. That's all I'm saying. He would be looking at the camera for dramatic spooky effect, but... yknow, blind. The sketch for this looks like I'm trying to copy Horikoshi's drawing style hbluhvwkhfbf...
