Hey artist friends, I have a challenge for you

I want to know how you would interpret and draw some characters from a story I’m writing. I’ll give their physical descriptions and a description of their clothes, and you show me how you would draw them

Adrian:

Has purple Alexandrite eyes, neck-length black hair swept to one side of his face, and ivory skin. He wears an iron crown, a deep purple stone hanging from one ear, a high-necked black shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers, with an iron corset around his waist. He wears a black cape trimmed in gold and lined in indigo off one shoulder, and high-heeled dragon skin boots and iron bracers. He’s trans, uses magic, and is initially introduced as an antagonist, but he has his own reasons for the way he treats our initial pov character.

Pearl:

Has pale, milky skin and long, cream colored hair, and extremely pale blue eyes. She wears a pink knee-length skirt and a white blouse with lace sleeves. Her pink kitten heels have a small pearl dangling from each buckle. She wears a white pearl headband and carries a small, square white handbag with a light pink rose in the center. She is our initial POV character, and starts out very hesitant and nervous.

Ragnar:

Has tanned skin and chestnut hair pulled back into a low ponytail, choppy bangs framing his face. He has emerald green almond-shaped eyes. He wears a studded leather pauldron over a deep blue shirt, a few belts that would ordinarily hold his sheath and quiver, and dark brown pants tucked into leather boots. The only thing on his belt is Adrian’s Token: an iron dragon curled around a piece of cut alexandrite. He is Adrian’s one confidant and his love interest, and is fully devoted to his king.

Helena:

A dark-skinned girl with onyx eyes and long black braids pulled into a half-ponytail. She wears a yellow sundress paired with a matching flower crown. Her wedge sandals match the woven straw purse slung across her body. She’s one of the most beautiful characters in the story, and she loves to read. She’s also one of Pearl’s best friends.

Cynthia:

Has dark brown hair, tanned skin, and sharp sapphire eyes. She wears wire-rimmed glasses, a smart white blouse, and a deep blue skirt with polished brown shoes. She’s one of the most outspoken characters, and is Pearl’s other best friend, and is very protective of her friends. She carries a matching purse to Pearl, although hers has a blue rose instead of pink.

Victoria:

Long black hair framing a heart-shaped face, with sharp garnet eyes. Her makeup is simple, but harsh, her lips painted with a small blood-red heart. She has blunt bangs cut just above her eyebrows, and wears a high-necked, tight-fitting black shirt, with a red corseted skirt reaching just below her knee. She is Pearl’s newest friend, and has a regal air to her.

Draw them however you want!

Sebek: "Wakatsum-sama, you must ride on top of my head!"

SEBEK IS SCREAMING AND CRYING because Malletsum is so small and he's standing LOWER than humans. MALLETSUM MUST STAND TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!

MALLETSUM *SIGHS* AND IGNORES SEBEK TO RUN OFF WITH MALLEUS DSHJKDASJKDSAKLSA I AM NOT JOKING HE FUCKING SIGHED

Sebek chases after them and begs Malletsum to ride on his shoulders instead if he finds Sebek's head abhorrent 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

MALLETSUM JUST BURST INTO A FREAKING MOB DANCE BECAUSE HE'S SO HAPPY TO MEET IDIATSUM AND VILTSUM

Viltsum didn't want Malletsum to be the star of the show so he also broke into a tsum tap dance 😭😭😭

SO THEY JUST STARTED DANCING TOGETHER HJADKSKLJDSASDKALSADL

So Vil tells Epel to dance with his Viltsum, Sebek asks to dance with Malletsum because he didn't want Viltsum to one-up it, and it became a wholeass dance party. Idia is stressed out from what's suddenly happening, but Ortho thought it was fun and tried to convicne Idiatsum to dance with him too.

MALLETSUM'S SO HAPPY OH MY GOD!!!

Sebek: "OOOO...! What, what a dignified appearance..! Completely unlike the other tsums..!"

Sebek: "A Tsum resembling that of my lord... No, it would be rude to simply call you a Tsum. Out of respect, I shall address you as WAKATSUM-SAMA."

HE FLASHES AN ELEGANT POSE BECAUSE HE LIKES BEING CALLED WAKATSUM-SAMA 😭😭😭😭

SEBEK SINGS PRAISE AND THANKS IT FOR LETTING IT BE CALLED WAKATSUM-SAMA

"In Jamil's dream, Kalim won't exist. "In Jamil's dream, HE'LL be housewarden and Kalim will be his servant." Actually I think he's too codependent for all that, maybe he just wants a break and a fruity drink and then he'll be right back on his grind. That's my theory, anyway.

wtf i'm literally shaking and crying right now i just saw silver bullets for sale on temu why the fuck are there silver bullets on temu

🪢 knotexplosion Follow

Hey. Hey. Look at me. Do you genuinely believe Temu of all places is going to have genuine sterling silver bullets for sale? TEMU. Wish and Shein's bastard child?

🌓 halfmoonhorror Follow

they had wooden stakes on there too i'm actually fearing for my and my partner's lives right now

🦇 count-fuckula Follow

Yeah I bought some wooden stakes from Temu and they broke instantly. I wasn't even using any force to put them in my lawn as it rained quite recently. I wouldn't worry too much about any silver bullets you find. They're probably just silver plated.

🍖 roadkill-meatloaf Follow

Can confirm- Temu silver isn't real and can't hurt us. I bought a bunch of silver jewelry off there because I can't afford anything the legitimate stores are selling and when I tried them they barely even burned. Not worth it.

🍯 bearly-hanging-on Follow

Why on earth would you, a werewolf, buy silver jewelry???

🍖 roadkill-meatloaf Follow

well for me it's a sex thing.

🪢 knotexplosion Follow

Why would you voluntarily wear jewelry from Temu? Did you at least sanitize it first???

🍖 roadkill-meatloaf Follow

Uh... I licked it first. Werewolf saliva can disinfect surfaces right?

YOU WHAT

Oh my g-d just because werewolf saliva can make your wounds heal faster doesn't mean it works miracles!!!

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

yesterday she told me some story about the Buddha's wife and child and I was like. Wait. He fucked? And she was like yeah of course he fucked, why wouldn't he, he was the most attractive and loveable and and wise and etc. person who ever lived. why would he not fuck.

this morning she looked perplexed in the kitchen at me and said "did Jesus not fuck?"

Batman really hated superman right now. He was to blame for their current situation.

It started out as a peace meeting with the princess and king of the Infinite Realms. The meeting was held under a contract of honesty on the neutral grounds of Amity park. The meeting was held to prevent war and discuss the Racism and inhumane treatment of ecto-beings by the GIW and the government.

The peace meeting was going well, Both sides wanted peace and the king was very forgiving. The problem came when it was mentioned that the Infinite realm's princess was a clone of the king.

Lmao if it's an AU where Lex was geniunely trying to make things better between Kon and him so many people would lose their shit knowing that Lex Luther is in a better standing than Superman in the eyes of this Realm

Like, he would be clocked as a Fruitloop but a Fruitloop who's trying to be less of a fruitloop like Vlad was doing !

Of course Danny is quite worried about this clone, kind of reassured he's got people in his corner but still keeping an eye out for him.

Kon's got a standing invite to the IR, and Dani is quite interested in getting to know him. If this is a semi-redeemed Vlad then LexCorp might me getting some proposals from DalvCo soon, as well as ghost shields installed free of charge

Not to mention people are now out on the streets protesting Superman and when he flies by people are throwing things at him. The JL and King Phantom have discussed that either Superman goes to therapy for this ridiculous hatred of clones or he is going to be taken off the JL and only called for extreme emergencies. It was the only thing they could get the King to agree to. Batman and Wonder Woman are furious that Clark never overcame the issue and that this could cause a war that earth would not win.

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

These tags were too perfect to not include

One thing that might help clarify it: in any fiction, no matter how dark, every real person involved is consenting.

The author and the audience are both choosing to be there and can revoke their consent at any point by putting the book down. The characters are not real, they are not being asked to make a choice because they have no ability to choose, but you do and you can leave at any time, for any reason. In most cases you as the author or audience also have context that tells you things will turn out alright in the end, or a reason to think they shouldn’t for this character. All the real people involved can expect a satisfying ending, and are not at any point being kept captive in a situation that will harm them.

Your ability to choose what fiction you take part in is a powerful thing, and you’re not doing yourself any favours by believing that doesn’t matter. If you don’t like it, sincerely, you don’t have to be there. Others who do like it are making their own choices, and those choices are separate from what they want to do in real life.

it alsi should be known not everyone is going to want to indulge in the kind of dark content you like. So please do not make fun of them for being an “anti”, when it’s just not going to be their kind of tea. They will have to understand this is something you like and there is nothing they can do but move on, do not make it worse by forcing them to see anything they nake clear they do not like out of spite.

IT CAN BE VERY TRIGGERING FOR THEM! Everyone must not police what another does to fictional characters. If you do not like, simple block. Do not make it out as a public announcement about how one person is “problematic” unless they are not tagging their stuff correctly or something.

Antis aren't just people who dislike a particular subject or ship and don't want to see it, taking steps to avoid it like blocking a tag. Antis are people who actively attack and harass others because they like a particular ship or subject they find objectionable.

Antis don't block, they expect the internet to be perfectly good and pure. They're the kind of people who believe in thought crimes.
