A drawing of Serenoa Wolffort from Triangle Strategy in a gold and blue color palette. Serenoa, face half hidden, sits curled up underneath a giant version of the Scales of Conviction with a sad and complicated expression. The scales and background are entirely gold, but Serenoa leaves a long blue shadow.

An illustration of Oersted from Live A Live as The Lord of Dark. He stands hunched over and crying in the Archon's Roost, both hands gripping his face. He looks manically down at the viewer, eyes wide and frantic, smiling widely as he shouts "FOR I'M THE HERO TRUE! I AM! I AM!".

doodle from when i was playing the second half of bravely
Agnès, looking down and clutching her pendant: "It is said that insanity is when one attempts the exact same option over and over again, expecting different results." Agnès looks up, holding up a finger with a determined expression: "But hear me out- there's no way they'll expect me to do it again!" In the background is the rest of the party in various states of despair, and Airy giving a big thumbs up.

more LAL doodles, mostly oersted

#livealive #ライブアライブ
A sketch of Hong, Yun, and Lei having popsicles underneath the summer sun. Hong and Yun look over in horror at Lei, who has taken a huge bite out of hers and continues to chew at it despite the brain freeze. A simple painting of Oersted in a field of yellow flowers. He is turned towards something off screen, with wide eyes and tears rolling down his cheeks. A sketch of Oersted leaning against Streibough, asleep. Streibough is looking away with a complicated expression. Oersted seems to be having a nightmare, but Streibough is too occupied with his own thoughts to notice. A fully colored and rendered drawing of Oersted in his charging pose. He has a wide stance and is holding his sword above his head, pointing it forward.

A simple illustration featuring Princess Alethea from Live A Live, painted digitally in watercolor. A statue of Alethea, hands folded in prayer and a halo around her head, stands in an empty grey room. The real Alethea crouches before this statue with bloodstained hands, having plunged her knife into the statues torso. The statue bleeds.

A fully colored and rendered illustration featuring Cube and Decimus from Live A Live. A pink eye, representing Decimus, stares down at Cube, who floats in space, above Earth, where the sun has begun to peek out beyond the horizon. Cube is surrounded by glitch effects and repeated words: "It would be in your best interest to stop. This ship is my domain, and I its master". At the very bottom, the battle grid can be seen.

some pride headcanons from an ask game i did on tumblr

#octopathtraveler #octopathtraveler2
Two flat colored busts of Olberic and Erhardt. Next to Olberic are the rainbow gay flag (1978 version) and the transgender flag. Next to Erhardt is the same rainbow gay flag and the words: from my notes: "he can have little a genderqueer. as a treat." A flat colored drawing of Ophilia looking sheepishly at the viewer, holding her staff behind her back. Behind her is a snowy landscape, tarnished somewhat by what looks to be ashes and smoke from an explosion. Tressa looks at the explosion mark in shock. Ophilia's staff is smoking and has a bloodstain on it. Next to Ophilia are the transgender flag and sapphic flag. A flat colored drawing of Tressa. She frames a simple landscape of a beach with puffy clouds. Her dress and hair are flowing in the wind, and she holds her journal close to her chest. Next to her are the agender flag, the orange and pink lesbian flag, and the word aspec written in the asexual flag colors. A flat colored drawing of Throné sitting on the ledge of a wall, kicking her feet back and forth and smugly holding up an expensive looking necklace. The background is in the shape of a diamond, and behind Throné is a deep purple night sky. Next to her are the trans flag, aromantic flag, and the asexual flag.

A fully colored and rendered illustration of Tressa leaning over a stone bridge in the town of Rippletide. She is looking towards the sea with a wistful expression. The scene is set in early morning, and the light from the sun is shining upon her. Behind her, the rest of the sea can be seen, as well as cliffs from the Coastlands, and in the far distance, a few mountains of the Highlands.

#pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon
a doodle of dusknoir talking to grovyle and celebi, who are both disgruntled. dusknoir says "you all only hate me because you do not like me and i am mean to you. grow up" (tumblr post by user wizardjpeg) a two panel doodle comic taking place during special episode 5. panel 1: in dusk forest. dusknoir looks at grovyle, who is unnerved. dusknoir thinks: "oh grovyle's kinda freaking out because celebi is in danger. i should be nicer to him so he doesn't leave or do anything stupid". panel 2: an hour later, while grovyle and dusknoir are hiding out in a crevice. dusknoir is in too deep. a two panel doodle comic illustrating an edited tumblr post (originally by users metrogoon and irenigg). dusknoir: if you'd rather change history than live in the future, you deserve to be unhappy. grovyle: the future? what the fuck is in the future? they got bitches in the future? alive bitches? a doodle of grovyle and dusknoir traveling through icicle forest. dusknoir thinks: "praying for your destruction bestie. going to stab you in the back soon bestie" (tumblr post by user arunima).
