hello, #webcomicday!

i draw and write this rather chill, nonlinear comic about my vampires, who are dealing with being... well, vampires.

there are two places to read it!

yes!! einarr and rune both have siblings.

well. had, in einarr's case. his half-brothers remained mortal and died about a thousand years ago, but they did leave behind children, which might make einarr a great (×30?) grand-uncle to many.

rune has two living siblings. i'm outta space. they good 👍

three viking age brothers: haraldr, einarr, and thorulfr. okay, techically half brothers, but they all had the same dad, so they're all auðvinsson.

haraldr is the oldest - kinda buff redhead whose hair is long and well kept. he's the most normal one of the three. wears a lot of green.

einarr in the middle - he's the youngest brother. blond, the smallest of the three, unable to grow a beard. if you take off his small cape he'll have no choice but to kill you. besides that, he's just a lonely introvert nerd who wanted to master runes and explore the world. wears red and brown.

thorulfr at last - he's the middle brother. dirty blond skáld with a kinda fun haircut. wears earthy tones. easiest way to describe him would probably be "theater kid".

the same viking brothers again, but they're children here and playfighting their dad.

rune (middle) and his fairly normal siblings, frida and sverre. okay so frida has blue hair but hey she's still human so. yes

very old drawing, mind you. man i should probably redraw this in some way.

slightly more updated drawing. frida giving rune a hug after them finally reuniting after his twenty year sleep.

🤝🤝🤝 same

this is why towertrapped fell to the wayside while i had fun with my silly vampires instead. low stakes is very small-scope.

it won't stop me from making homestuck references at least

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 3d

just a doodle that i colored and messed with the rendering of a little <3

experimenting with art is good for your soul i think

i just don't like how it obscures the exact number of notes by splitting up the numbers, and also the muscle memory thing. it's not the extra clicks that bother me, it's that they moved the buttons and are turning the layout into twitter.

also the edit button is very hidden now which bugs me a lot

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

gosh i love your linework

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

here are some of my other ocs because they deserve some spotlight also <3

i could honestly go on and on, but i will stop the thread here i think. there is so much

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

AND THEN THERE'S THE WAY I DO IT IN MY COMICS.
it's all pure ballpoint pen, baybeeee

you already sort of got a taste of it in the stuff above, but yeah a lot of my comics look like this. not always, but often. read my comic.

a grid of comic page thumbnails, as seen on toyhouse, where it's hosted.

read my stuff :3

last but not least, einarr, whose hair is long, wavy, very light and somehow looks the best in the sketches i don't color. but hey

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

then morten. of course. i love their blue hair and unconventional haircut. it's the best

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

rune!!

(yeah that's right, i'm just gonna make a post for each main vampire because. man, just look at these. i don't have a singular rendering style and i just love how it all turns out anyway)

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

okay four images is really not enough, i have many characters with different lengths and textures. also my art and shading style varies WILDLY.

so i'm just gonna make this a thread.
here's bat :3

🤝🤝

my original penguin is now only available on my pc, as my phone has changed after the game closed and i didn't figure out how to transfer the penguin file on mobile 😩

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 17d

i heard they were planning on doing longer episodes if the pilot does get picked up!

and i really hope it gets picked up. i really truly do

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 18d

thing is, in case you didn't know me in my teens, i was a huge homestuck nerd. it was a major special interest. for years.

i'll just leave it at that hahaha

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 18d

me, not too long ago: yeah sure i'll reread homestuck as it's re-releasing on its official website again. could be fun. it has been a while.

me right now: aaaaaaaa,

some of my existing ocs, specifically the vampire slayer kids, but drawn traditionally in my sketchbook, mimicking the style of homestuck sprites. this was way too fun.

Liv Lorentsen
Moon: Derse
Classpect: Rogue of Doom?

Solfrid M. Lund
Moon: Prospit
Classpect: Sylph of Hope?

Jonas Sandvik
Moon: Derse
Classpect: Prince of Life?

Leif K Olavsen (the only name compatible with the naming pattern HAH)
Moon: Prospit
Classpect: Bard of Time?

Literally just going by vibes here.

ADDITIONAL INFO: classpecting was never my strongest suit, but hey why not. also i completely forgot about strife specibi. assigning them weapons.. okay i'll just do it right here - they all get stakes. lmfao. no i think leif has a crossbow at least. but whatever. this is really all just for the sillies ok

there is text all over.
transcription:
Their names do not fit the 4+7/6 rule, but screw it. Maybe that's why their session failed LOL.
SBURB AU...
the vampires are trolls. :)
jk they're still vampires.

my dear sweet OC morten, drawn as a homestuck troll in my own style and they're doing a peace sign yay✌️

...oh god. morten is a valid troll name

What are the characters of #EverdarkWIP saying about this mysterious new trans vampire? Let's see this one priest's absolute L take on Twitter (and thank the gods for Erevan for keeping it real)

#UnhingedPit #W #A #F #LGBT

A hand-drawn fictional tweet thread. Reverend A. Moore tweets “look what the Everdark has done to our fair maidens” and attaches two pictures. Left is a very uncomfortable looking Ren pre-transition, wearing a blue dress. Right is a much more confident Ren in all his vampiric glory, wearing a black shirt and resting his hand on his face. The pictures are captioned with “saddest “woman” alive” and “certified vampiric heartthrob” respectively. Below, Erevan of Fhelune replies, “is he single? asking for a friend”
