Aaaaaah I’ve become obsessed with these two. !!SPOILERS FOR THE SEARCH FOR LAQUA!! At first, I had no interest in the Explorers. I only really thought of them as part of the plot. I much preferred to just draw Liko and Dot all day and giggle at my own silly little fanfic ideas. But then I started thinking about why I’ve cried every time I’ve watched the episode about the three Explorers, and suddenly I’ve become obsessed with them. ESPECIALLY the ship between these two. They’ve now become my second favourite ship! <3 I swear, Rystal and Lucius are just perfect for each other! It must have been pretty awkward for Gibeon, having to deal with them :P Also, btw, I have an animatic planned that will sort of be a teaser for future chapters of a Hidden Darkness! It’ll have the song “God Games” from Epic the Musical.
I used procreate to draw this. I imagine Rystal didn’t want to do something, so she made the excuse that she was tired, and Lucius was just like, “That’s okay! I can just carry you!” The songs are “Memories” and “Shop” from Undertale, as well as “Cat Serenade” by Beetlebug.
