Awakening 🕯️ (4)

After Kid mentioned that he wanted to see the Wasteland, Howl agreed to show him around. Despite his reluctance, Florian accompanied them. Howl seemed to know a lot about the wasteland, considering that this is the place where he grew up. The wasteland is not what Kid expected, him who had always known the forest. Everything seems colorless and sad. But what truly seems to strike him is the sight of Dark Dragons, roaming about and searching for Light to devour. But Kid doesn't seem afraid more than he is distraught by that fact. Why is it impossible to bring back Light to these creatures? Are they suffering as well? He returns to the Forest Elder in order to find some familiarity and comfort.

Awakening 🕯️ (3)

Kid mentions that he went back to the Forest Elder—who he refers to as ma'am —every time he woke up. Upon finding himself in Aviary Village, he is faced with several gates, unsure which one to visit first. This is where he meets Howl and Florian, who he seems to refer to as his parents, according to his understanding of the word. Howl assures confidently that in his company, there is no worry to have in visiting the wasteland, even if Florian remains quite apprehensive. Kid really wonders about the sounds he's hearing coming out of the Wasteland Gate.

WHEW this took me several days to finish drawing, but I am INCREDIBLY happy to be working on this series, and have so much fun voicing them! Howl is my OC, Florian is my friend's, pandorah, and Kid is Mel's. This is based on their interactions!

OH MY GOD YOUR ART IS AMAZING IVE LITERALLY BEEN GORGING MYSELF SINCE LAST NIGHT. WOWWOWOWOWOOW 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

AWHWHW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️

Inner Child

Alef / Resh

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I literally cannot stop speculating about who Resh was, and who he could've been. It's almost inevitable that given so much power, and considering how he was worshipped by the people around him due to his power . . that this might've eventually gotten to his head, to the point where, there was both a superiority, (or even a god) complex, and the intense apprehension of disappointing the people who believed in him and held him to extremely high standards . . . the corruption certainly didn't happen overnight and was a progression towards the point where it has gotten . .

((SPOILER BELOW))

I've been thinking so deep about the golden child we see in the Void . . in such a way that Alef has lost himself further and further until he became unrecognizable, but at the end of it, he's still there, but of course has to pay the price of what he's caused. AURGHHHHH 💔

King.

Corrupted King.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I had actually drawn the corrupted version even BEFORE the actual design, and now that I've done it . . I can't stop😞🫵

Hi! How are you? I'm making a Samekh Spotify playlist, and I put your art as a pfp (with credits, ofc) but then it occurred to me that you might not be comfortable with it...

So can you please tell me if you are or not, if you're not I'll change it.

Hello! That's totally fine with me so long as there are credits!

Thank you for asking 💕

So I drew Resh again⎯⎯⎯

Awakening 🕯️(2)

After Kid awaked the Forest Elder, it seemed to him that she was upset, for a reason that he couldn't quite put his finger on . . But neither of them dwelled on it, and he recounts how she taught him lots of things. He doesn't understand why other skykids find her mean and scary . . She is kind and beautiful. After quite some time, another attempt was made ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ but he still couldn't remember his name, nor who she was. Was he supposed to ?

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I really enjoy working on these videos, and voicing them! They're taking quite some time to work on, but it's really worth it and I really hope that you enjoy them as much as I do 💕 It's not possible to include all the details that my friends and I have been working on regarding the lore, but I'm doing my best to incorporate them into this story form 🫶🏻

Awakening 🕯️

as if it wasn't enough to have dragged my friends into my sky hyperfixation, we've been building a story that keeps getting deeper and deeper . . and it's far from done yet ! it is definitely based on the lore itself but also on our own theories and additions . . so I decided I also wanted a visual of it. Maybe of some important parts ⎯⎯⎯ we'll see how it goes. I'll be calling it "Awakening", since it ties very deeply into the characters involved and their arcs.

This is Kid ! a skykid which seems to be quite like all the others. born in the forest, the first thing he does, or that he remembers to do, is to wake up the Elder of the Forest for some reason . . but he is quite confused by the expression on her face upon seeing him. It was the first time they had seen each other, why would his presence be so upsetting ?

More resh doodles because why not 🫶🏻 actually they were meant to stay doodles but i ended up inking them . . Since i love inking

And now he has luscious hair 🫵

Samekh sent flowers to their neighbor 🗣️

Second part of the Elders' Meeting ! I've really enjoyed voicing this one, and my wrist is broken but . . It was so worth it ! I really want to dive in more into what could've happened before the Shattering, and the events that led up to the end..

they have exactly ONE (1) cutscene together in the game, and they don't even interact, but they just. THEY JUST. have THE vibe. so i draw them together and my purpose is done ✨ 💕 (tell me I'm not the only one who sees it 😞)

Dubbed version of the video I posted a few days ago ! I tried to make their voices sound as accurately as possible to what I envision :) hope you like it!

When your sibling doesn't engage in the usual back and forth of insults . . The game changes entirely 🫶🏻 happy days of love skykids 💕!

Eden; The Eternal Return

It's the first time I attempt something like this, but . . I have always wondered if the Elders ever felt any sort of guilt regarding what Sky kids would have to endure, in order to bring Light back to the Kingdom. It is my personal headcanon that Mekh sees this as some sort of eternal curse, and that the world is somehow bound to this endless cycle. . . Because, the Storm is still raging, and not one has been able to put an end to it.

Hope you enjoy!!

I really needed a VISUAL for all the bits of lore so I did it myself 💃I hope to have enough motivation and time to work on more of this because . . I need it and i love it

more of my favorite twins 🫶🏻 if that ain't everyday life for siblings idk what is 😞🫵

Me posting this with the fact that only myself and two other people in this world are aware of the heart wrenching LORE behind this picture and I'm not okay 😞💔

Like we don't see him enough

There's not enough content

So i took the liberty 💃✨

Fallen stars .•° ✧

⎯⎯⎯⎯

Were we chosen only to fall?

Were we risen to the skies only to get a better view of the world that we shattered before our eyes?

Were we given the power to build with equal power to destroy?

Have we seen the Light only for it to be taken away?

Perhaps is it the price to pay for the pride that has blinded us, and the greed that has consumed us.

But why do they have to pay the price of our mistake? Are they the light of a newfound hope, or are they reborn into darkness as part of an eternal curse?

Was watching the world crumble not enough retribution?

⎯⎯⎯⎯

I cannot express how much I love this game, and how invested I am in discovering and understanding the lore behind it . . I wrote a little something to accompany the picture, because that is one character I am particularly fond of 💞
