Morning Routine (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 8)

[Hollow Hearts]

Ismaire:

This is Samak and Cole again, although you'll notice that just in the few days since the last HH post, Casting Director Choi has changed their designs a bit, lol.

Being a honey rancher is not an easy job by any means, and this alien desert doesn't provide any easy conditions. But sometimes there are cool moments, like when you get to pet the giant fluffy bees and wake them up for the morning. (Getting covered in their scent puts the rest of the bees at ease so you can go harvest the produce. Also, it's fun~)

Happy Birthday (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 7)

[The Judge]

Ismaire:

Darr gets this Day 7 prompt for the second year in a row, whoops. He just has that kind of luck, I guess~ But where last year I showed him saying a happy birthday to someone who really needed it, this time he's wishing he could say it in a situation where it's just better for everyone if he doesn't.

He'll never send that text. He can't. This is supposed to be a one-way communication channel, and it's not worth the risk.

Movie Night (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 10)

[Rara Avis]

Ismaire:

Goldstone and Sandstone, the two oldest children of fai royalty, have abandoned their seats to sit as close as possible to the stage on "theater night." A specially requested performance group has come from across the kingdom to put on a play about the founding of the fai kingdom as it is known today, when their ancestor made a pact with the primal of the earth element and secured protection and prosperity for their people that has lasted tens of generations.

The two close siblings whisper and giggle to each other as they enjoy the colorful performers' prancing in elaborate, symbolic costumes. It's the most fun they've had since winter came and it got too chilly to play outside for long.

We haven't settled on the final designs of characters in this story and are still experimenting, so they are likely to change quite a bit as we nail it down, but we at least know these two cuties will be "fai" - a basically faerie-like race in the world of Rara Avis. More about them to come once they're grown-up~

Target Sighted (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 6)

[RED]

Ismaire: This sketch prompt turned into a 3-panel sketch comic about how dragons in this world go just non-functionally feral around cats. In particular the dragons' young leader-to-be, Celine, loses her composure the first time she travels to a human town where they keep cats to hunt the mice, and… this.

Yep. Celine and I are one and the same in this regard. God I love cats a/sldfjdljafd;k

Support (Sketchtember 2024 - Day 11)

[The Judge]

Ismaire:

I'm pleased I get to show off another member of Darr's hunting team in action. Reba is a fantastic team support, both in terms of her skillsets and her personality.

On the skill side, she is the "heavy" expert in the team, trained in using some of the most complex and dangerous equipment that HOST's operatives have access to - like a giant arm-cannon that requires a generator backpack and a delicate balance of timed shots in order to not risk overloading. Thanks to her body-building hobby, she's also able to use most of this equipment completely without implanted enhancements, which she is very proud of.

On the personality side, she is willing to drop pretty much all notion of self-preservation and rush her freckled ass into danger for the life of any teammate or bystander. She's an absolute determinator and would fight until the life leaves her body no matter how dismal the circumstances.
