Inktober 02 - Tranquility

Nightmare Hunter

He’s doing his best

I haven’t done any art for character birthdays in so, so long 🥺 But since I’ve been in more of an art mood lately, I offer this quick, tiny Levi for his bday

Doing some practice drawing our friends the Papyri. 😌🙏

“I’m actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but uh... I don’t have the appetite. Now my brother, Papyrus--”

The way the original Sour Apple Studios Horror Sans emotes [top frames]... the way he EMOTES... it makes me kinda feral. I had to draw.

In my first version of the final image, I really exaggerated the expression. I decided to go back and make it match the mood of the original more, but I kept the close up of the 1st version just because it looks so unhinged lk;ajdsf;jlsadjlf [Edit: Reworked the second image to be closer, too, so I’ve uploaded the new lineup, but I’ve kept the original at the bottom along with the one for the 3rd image. :3 It was fun pushing the expressions, and I like how they turned out, even if they ended up too different and I felt the need to do them over.]

“You know what’s better than sex? Crying”

-Kennyo

Y’know. Just friend things.

[This version of Red & his sprite are from @bonelyheartsclub. He calls her ‘shrink’ because she’s a counselor but he spells it with a y because her name has a y. The man’s got jokes.]

OK TAKE 2. NOW WITH MORE CRACK. Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide keep getting into scuffles, so Nobunaga orders them to wear a "get along shirt". How much would Mitsuhide troll Hideyoshi while they are stuck together? What would he do??

Mitsuhide: Well this certainly is snug. >:3c

Hideyoshi: Don’t. Talk to me. Let’s just sit here quietly until the penalty time is up.

Mitsuhide: Now now, I believe the imperative on this shirt is to “get along,” not “ignore each other.” You wouldn’t defy one of our lord’s commands, would you?

Hideyoshi: You know I wouldn’t! >:(

Mitsuhide: Then it’s settled. We shall have to endeavor to get along. I believe this is your area of expertise, so you should have no problems leading.

Hideyoshi: Erm… 

Mitsuhide: My, I feel quite charmed already.

Hideyoshi: Shut up! I mean – wait. Just give me a moment to think. It’s not as if this is happening naturally.

Mitsuhide: And here I thought your boundless charisma simply sprang forth as a matter of course. You mean to tell me that it requires effort to enchant everyone who crosses your path? Why have you never expended your energy on me?

Hideyoshi: …I haven’t?

Mitsuhide: I should think not, considering how unfailing you are with the rest of the people around you…

Hideyoshi: Oh. I, uh… Mitsuhide…

Mitsuhide: (draws in a shuddering breath) No, I shouldn’t be asking such questions of you. After all, we are trying to ‘get along.’ Please, you must turn the topic of conversation to something more pleasant and comfortable for you.

Hideyoshi: Now hold on. Mitsuhide, if what you say is true, then I owe you an apology–

Mitsuhide: (snrk) Yes, go on.

Hideyoshi: Wait–

Mitsuhide: I’m waiting. I’m certain this is going to be adorable.

Hideyoshi: MITSUHIDE!

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: A-B-C-D

From this list. (Thanks @masamune-archive; I got the inspiration from you!) Instead of asks, I'm just going to do the whole alphabet, so here we gooooo:

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Kennyo loves spending time with his partner going on nature walks, feeding animals, and attending flower-viewing festivals. Seeing his beloved's eyes light up at the beauty of the world fills his heart with unparalleled peace and joy. In these moments, he can't help but think of the world as a beautiful place, too. He'll be wearing a soft smile the whole time, grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Similarly, Kennyo cherishes simple domestic bliss. Preparing food together, gardening, cleaning up around the temple, reading in the same room, or chatting before sleep -- these everyday moments feel like great blessings to him.

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

This depends on who his s/o is~! Everyone has a unique mix of traits to admire.

Traits that Kennyo may find particularly admirable are kindness, bravery, and integrity. In a world where survival often requires selfishness or self-erasure, and where the cruel rise to the top, Kennyo sees acts of compassion as heart-achingly beautiful. Helping others, fighting back against the cruel, and staying true to one's sense of right and wrong will call to him, an irresistible and undeniable resonance with what he values, no matter how hard he tries to deny himself.

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Kennyo would hold his beloved close, seating them in his lap and guiding them through breathing exercises to help their body relax. In his deep, soothing voice, he'll remind them that these moments are just that: moments. They will pass, and he's here with them to help them stay afloat until then.

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Kennyo is a fairly traditional man, so when he thinks of a happy future with his lover, he thinks of marriage, children (adoption is fine!), and ministering to Shin Buddhist followers in a new Hongan-ji temple town with verdant gardens that attract a lot of animals.

Trauma and pessimism cause him to fear that any happiness with his partner may one day be violently ripped away, leaving either him or them alone to grieve. As much as this possibility frightens him, he will not give up on his love, so he pushes his fears away to pursue his dream for a bright and peaceful future.

WHEW, this should NOT have taken as long as it did, but hey, it’s done! This is just a little silly something I made after seeing @nyktoon ‘s adorable little noodle, Snyk! The joke was right there and I intended to drive it home with this! Now Kudon and her can get all warm and soggy in some sodium-rich broth, hehehe! Hope you like it!✨💜
