🔔 UPDATED COMM SHEET! 🔔

1/2
• I’ve raised my prices solely because my time for art has been limited lately, and therefore more valuable. Plus, it helps cover what P4yPal takes for the transaction.
• If you’re interested, dm me here on Bluesky, or ask to dm me on Twitter! :)

A sketch of a griffon's head, looking off to the back. They seem happy, maybe a little surprised, as if they met someone from long ago!

Haven’t been doing much art lately due to a lack of motivation, but I have a few more pieces to share that I’ve done here and there. :)
First off, a Warrior OC for someone! Her name is Spiritwalker. I’ve been really into drawing cats lately.

Curse image and character limits forever.
#wofTurtle #wofUmber

A shot of the scene from above. Turtle is sitting to the left, touching his face as if to wipe away a tear. Umber is getting up from his bed perch and approaching Turtle calmly.

Text:

TURTLE:
Why did I ever stake so much of who I am on this person I barely even know?

After everything that has happened, or rather didn't happen…

Knowing that I'm the one who got lucky, and that likely nothing is going to change for any of my brothers who are still waiting… I just can't think of that stranger as my mother.

I don't know if that makes me ungrateful?

A picture of Turtle and Umber sitting close together. Umber is gesticulating while talking from the heart. Turtle listens and looks at him with a smile.

Text:

UMBER:
Not at all. That's actually the way it usually goes where I'm from.

TURTLE:
Oh… right, yeah.

UMBER:
I get what you mean though.

You don't have to feel beholden to a person just because, after years of ignoring you, she suddenly decided to show you the bare minimum of decency.

It's fine for you to feel the way you do. You don't owe her your consideration.

TURTLE:
Thanks, Umber.

...

Close up of Turtle looking wistfully into the distance.

Text:

TURTLE:
Perhaps...
I might write her a letter some time. You know, like, whenever I have a free moment and nothing else is going on.

UMBER:
Ah yeah, that might take a while, ha ha. Webs has been saving all the material you guys missed while you were gone. You're probably gonna be drowning in homework for a while.

TURTLE:
Ah. That's okay.
She's waited so long to talk to me. It's clear she's fond of waiting, so I'll let her enjoy herself a little longer.

The same close up of Turtle as before, but now he is looking towards the viewer (Umber) with his expression shifting into a goofy, dopey smile.

Picture of Turtle and Umber side by side. Turtle is laughing happily while Umber gives him an encouraging grin and a playful punch in the shoulder.

Text:

UMBER:
Look at that. Son of the year right here.

"Son of the Year"

This is a skit I wrote a while ago; a hypothetical conversation between Turtle and Umber had the latter never left the academy abruptly.

The format was written for a blog and doesn't translate well to bsky. I tried my best to convert it anyway.

#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon

Umber the Mudwing and Turtle the Seawing are inside their sleeping cave. Umber is lying on his back on a bed-like stone platform while reading a scroll overhead. It is rolled out and sprawling all over his belly and spilling onto the floor. Turtle is a few paces away, lying on his stomach and writing on something. An abacus sits next to him, implying he is doing math.

Text:

(Sounds of scroll rustling and pen scratching)

TURTLE:
...

The same scene as before, except Turtle turns away and starts speaking. Umber, letting his scroll rest on his chest, listens intently.

Text:

TURTLE:
...
So, the Sea Queen hugged me the other day.

UMBER:
Oh? Your moms? When was that?

TURTLE:
While the whole Darkstalker kerfuffle happened. I returned home for a bit and she, well, she gave me a hug. For the first time... ever.

A close up of Turtle scratching his neck and fidgeting with his hands. Umber can be seen looking at him from behind him.

Text:

UMBER:
That's a big deal, isn't it? You mentioned she's not much of a huggy one?

TURTLE:
Oh, no no, she is plenty affectionate with Anemone and Auklet. It depends on whether you were born, uh, well, "the way she wants".

UMBER:
Ah, I'm sorry.

Still, she did it, right? How did it make you feel?

TURTLE:
Oh, good. It was… nice.

...

A shot showing Umber now lying on his stomach and having put the scroll away entirely, fully focused on the conversation. A close-up of Turtle's uncertain face is in the foreground.

Text:

UMBER:
I noticed you called her "the Sea Queen", when before you would always call her "mother"?

TURTLE:
Well, you know… I, uh… It, put some things into perspective for me.

(sighs)

That kind of tender moment... I've been waiting for it all of my life. It was really nice when she finally went and noticed me; called me by my name even. I'm happy that she did; I can maybe finally start to move on from some things that have been weighing on me.

But it's weird.

I've spent so long waiting, and hoping, and wanting. Now that it happened I kind of realized…

I don't really know her?

I know Anemone, I know Auklet. Heck, I even know Tsunami and she's only been aware of my existence for a few months.
