On Stone Magic

On Stone Magic

Hm. Yeah, this was a needed distraction from the atrocity called Waverider. 💀

Notes:

Really needed an excuse why I draw the stonekeepers using elements in my art, ended up getting carried away!

[1] The outfits they're wearing is around post book-4 or 5. My rewrite I jumbled things around, so technically in this timeline he should be wearing his armor in the og series. It's intentional he looked uncomfortable in it. It's a revamped design of his fit in book 6.

[2] Magical fire can only be dispersed by magic. It'll burn forever otherwise. Guess what Emily used on Ippo.

[3] We never really see Emily be silly or undignified, and to me, that's what she was lacking on why she didn't leave much of an impression nor appeal to me. this is an attempt to make it seem like she's still just a kid learning and stumbling and getting into embarrassing situations.

Still haven't finalized the design on Max, but I have some idea. If you noticed, he has the same collar as Trellis, meaning Trellis borrowed some Cielan attire before discovering a healer's robe, which is more elf-like attire.

[4] Trellis's magic may seem silly or trivial than say, what Emily developed to give her advantage in combat. It may also give you the impression he just did it to have an easier time for chores. But if you dig a bit deeper, that's extremely useful magic, especially for a society like Alledia.

[5] the Elf King didn't show up on the other scale because we don't know his level of skill. Other than that, he's insanely powerful.

[6] Every other stonekeeper can manifest both if they're skilled enough, but Trellis was the first to perfect a defensive style and do it consistently.

[7] Just a nice lil joke. Also, Max is wielding an ice pickax that can split into two or combine. Very dangerous.

You can tell I've been rereading wha and dungeon meshi for this.

Oh also you guys can send me asks lol

There's a 85% chance I'll answer, 95% chance if it's about Amulet rn

Time to go back in time and beat my 12 year old self for thinking that Tremily would ever happen

finding out from reddit that tremily isn't canon in amulet book 9 has got to be my last straw

Fight!

Emily's pose AUGH this was agony to render. I'd have more to say but alas I once again stayed up late and the brain juice is gone. Adios.

amulet

this is a sincere reminder to not stop boycotting, to not stop boosting and amplifying palestinian voices, and to never stop fighting for a free palestine.

noury, or nouran, is a jujutsu kaisen artist with a significant following on twitter, who has been documenting her life since the onset of the israeli aggression on october seventh.

noury has documented her struggles over the past four months, from finding basic necessities like food to literal explosions in her neighborhood as she falls asleep. her journey has now been marked by physical hardships, including the devestating loss of one of her eyes and now the fracture of her wrist.

as fellow artists and members of the fandom, it is so important that we refuse to turn a silent eye and never forget our people in palestine. the heart of this issue lies in the consistent dehumanization of palestinians, as they are constantly perceived as subhuman. let noury and her art serve as a reminder that the only difference between each of us and noury is the circumstances we were born into. that she was someone who celebrated gojo's birthday just like us, who wanted and deserved the right to watch the second season, who had it stripped away from her.

as you continue to interact with art, talk about jujutsu kaisen, and enjoy the fandom as you normally do - please don't forget that it is our responsibility to ensure that the world never forgets the losses suffered by people like noury, by people who are just like us, and to stand united against the israeli occupation that so constantly strips people of their basic rights, including the fundamental right to artistic expression.
