I have been drawing for almost my whole life and I am self-taught on drawing mostly with a pencil, and even now I continue to learn and honing my drawing skills with a pen.

What does Augusta think of knights?

Augusta has a longtime hatred towards knights, as they were responsible for the disappearance of her ancestors’ hidden harmonious village of lindworms and humans.

Octavia walking in the rain

Octavia usually picks an odd time to go for a walk, especially if it’s going to be raining for the whole day.

Hunter holding a rose flower

I figured I give Hunter a spotlight by having them hold a rose, and the name of Hunter’s favourite flower is coincidentally called “Hunter rose”.

Octavia making a puppet out of anything

Octavia can do all of sorts of odd things, such as turn her fingers into strings and use it to make things into a puppet.

Maybe Someday: a small epilogue for Mystic Magictober 2025

I drew a single panel comic of Hunter just talking to Lillian as an epilogue to my participation of #mysticmagictober25.

Mystic Magictober 2025 Day 31: Dream

Lillian would often dream about travelling across surreal places and reuniting with her beloved Chuck.

#drawing #artchallenge #traditionaldrawing #Halloween #ballpointpendrawing #mysticmagictober25 #originalcharacter #oc #Fairy #moth #goth #BlackShuck #webcomic
Lillian Hawkins (the goth death’s head hawkmoth fairy) is having a dream of travelling across surreal places, as she wants to see Chuck Blackwood (the unpredictable black shuck in human form) once more. Panel 1: Lillian walks across a fountain with a teapot that has water flowing out of the spot, the ground has a checkered pattern, and the trees have odd sorts of toys, tea cups, and a button on the leaves. Panel 2: Lillian walks down a sort of slope made out of a piano keyboard, a tree below has stars on the leaves, and a vase with wings flying in the air near to her. Panel 3: Lillian’s next location is near to a giant crab with trees and a small mountain on top of its shell, but Lillian is more interested on who she has spotted. Panel 4: Lillian and Chuck finding each other while standing on a warped road looping around a large globe model of the Earth.
