Recently I watched the finale of The Amazing Digital Circus and got inspired to do a crossover art piece of the characters from my WIP project as the cast of the show. I will share the whole piece on my project's blog - @comradezimovsmurdermysteries tomorrow at 8 PM EET along side a short on my YouTube channel - DrasCOOL, in which I will also share some of my thoughts on the finale. 👀
I might make a full review video in the future, so if you are interested, stay tuned for that.
Let’s discuss something art related! So, this is one of MANY concept sketches I made for my character Mstislav’s birthday, which is now a month late 😭 and because I think artists I need to be more honest about their art processes, I’ll be honest about mine: I‘ve been having AWFUL art block lately! And here, it culminated in me having all the ideas and concepts for an artwork but not knowing how to compose it! Combine that with being busy with life stuff and the pressure of feeling “late” to a non existent person’s birthday and it adds on to the stress that is art block. It sucks! But I know it’s important to talk about! I’m not a perfect artist nor am I a consistent one, and that’s okay! Because I know eventually I will come up with a finished piece for Mstislav’s 2026 birthday art, whether it’s this month or the next or until freaking December 😤 so that’s why I’m sharing what my sketch for Misty so far has led up to!
My intention here is to have Mstislav sleepwalk because he indeed is a sleepwalker in my story (fun? fact: alcohol can be a cause of sleepwalking for some people). And I also wanted to incorporate a folkloric entity known as ‘The Wild Hunt.’ My reason for that being is because one, Mstislav is an ex illegal vampire hunter (yes, illegal hunter 👀) and two, in Belarusian literature there is a gothic book by Uladzimir Karatkievich called King Stakh’s Wild Hunt which incorporates aspects of the wild hunt in its story, and Mstislav is Belarusian of course! I also was inspired by the song Your Ghost by Kristin Hersh, the melancholic themes feeling really fitting for Misty’s character.
Also I’m aware it’s International Women’s Day which I am SO LATE TO but I DEFINITELY want to post something about it in the following days so keep an eye out for that! 👀♥️

Happy Baba Marta! ❤️🤍
On the 1st of March in Bulgaria 🇧🇬, we celebrate a holiday called "Baba Marta" (Grandma March). It is a holiday symbolizing the comming of spring and the end of winter. On this day we give each other read and white strings called martenitsi (мартеници), intertwined with each other for good luck, health and prosperity. There are many legends for the origin of this tradition.
In modern times, we also attach little ornaments to those strings, especially characters from beloved cartoons and media (mostly for the children to have a blast! 👀). So me and @illustrossi decided: "Why don't we make martenitsi with our own characters?". As so we did with the characters from @letsbeacouple!
💖Happy Valintine's Day!💖

Here I go again with making fanart of the characters from creators I admire! Today, I wanted to pay tribute to a creator with whom we are mutuals here on Tumblr -@vikkicomics. They are a wonderful artist with an incredibly beautiful artstyle, and are making their own original story featuring their character Otto! I highly recommend you check it out:
First World War art and fiction by Viktoria Bentham
The story is set during WW1 and follow the adventures of a young German soldier Otto and a British Sergeant named Edwin. The two start an unlikely friendship and are tied by a mysterious amulet. 👀 Also for all of us raven enjoyers there is Oberst Vincent Odinkirk - Otto's older brother, who has a connection to and is constantly seen with his ravens. I may or may not draw him in the future, because I love his design.
Speaking of design, I do have to give my admiration for the art style. I know I say this for everyone I admire, but it is true! I love finding unique styles and @vikkicomics 's is a blend of interesting stylization to the figures and a masterful choice of coloring.
Please show the comic your love, because it truly deserves it!💖

Today is the birthday of Lewis Carroll the author of the infamous "Alice in Wonderland". Last year I started a little side story featuring Hans based on the game Habromania which was inspired by "Alice in Wonderland". I was hoping to make part 2 of it for Lewis Carroll's birthday this year, but unfortunately I didn't have the time. I did however finish the first page of the second part, so I am uploading it today for the occasion!
Check out Part 1 if you haven't and stay tuned for more!
This Friday - January 30th at 8 PM EET I will post a fun little short on the DrasCOOL channel as a tribute to my friends on Tumblr - @weepingnoor and @inconspicuous-raven! Check their Tumblrs and stay tuned! 👀

Y'all, I haven't seen any of those writer tag games around in a MINUTE. So do unto others and all that: reblog this with the last line you wrote that mentions a character name!
I'll go first. From the Anti Vader Squad, which I AM working on again, a.spice, as you well know:
And yet, Trilla found herself unsure.

Thanks for the tag! From Chapter 6 of Joker an Ace:
“I cannot imagine that no one wonders about the source of his fortune,” Joker remarked. “Though curiosity is easily bought, I suppose.”

Thanks for the tag! From a story tentatively titled “New Song”:
Lady Leona rounded a corner and sailed over to them, saying soothingly, “It’s alright, sweetheart. Mage Tendit was only exploring. Just because someone is out of your sight, it doesn’t mean they’ve left for good.”

From a story where my OCs meet the Batfamily (very much a daydreaming kind of story so I'm not sure if I'm going to get much of anywhere with it, but it said "last line I wrote that mentions a character name" so here it is anyway)
So Therese and Thomas knew what it [the city Rogue alarm] meant, and what they, as civilians, were expected to do about it

At the time I was tagged in this it was:
She never said anything about it because Linnette knew what had happened to Adamus Phillida’s prized destrier, but their little arrangement surely wouldn’t hold up in the face of a proper investigation, if the abandoned horse was traced back to the Chestnut Handy.
Tagging anyone who's writing right now, have fallen off and somewhat lost track of who all is doing what :P
Eh, close enough to a tag for me. From Blood Hunter:
“You fled Etterlane during the attack, didn’t you?” Corsair asks gently.
gonna tag, uhhhhhh @canadiangold @irishironclad @ariminiria @kanobarlowe and anyone else who wants an excuse to share their writing
“Cathal my love, help me with dinner,” she needn't have asked. I was delighted to help her chop up cabbage and onions as well as prepare the stock made from the strips of corned beef we had left. Meat was hard to come by after the skirmishes, though they had not reached our farm; other parts of Osraige had been burned. The laws dictated how much meat each man would get based on his station. We were entitled to a pound of corned beef, which had lasted us a few days since we were careful. We were not great enough to be entitled to fresh meat, nor much butter than what we could barter or buy.

When you brought Palmira here, you spoke of leverage. Unlike most, she is exactly who she appears to be. Someone with a lot of heart, but with minimal political value.

He looks at the avocets again and says, “You’re strange creatures, your beaks are upside down. I’ll bet Vincent knows what you’re called.” @hanswolfert @kxmpfflieger @vranelartbg
From the second part (that I am currently working on) of the short side story about Hans:
Today is just not your day, is it, Hans? Then again... when has it ever been? Perhaps I should join you here, Mr. Skeleton. In the bottom of this hole for an eternal rest.

From my story created for the training course "The Future of Storrytelling":
Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound seized the peace of the summer afternoon, crushed it like a failed drawing and sent it somewhere in time. Paw looked around irritated. Riding his powerful motorbike, a messenger of the Grand Master was rushing along the path, and carried away by his momentum, the whole dust was dancing around him like a mini tornado. The motorbike stopped right next to the cat, and the dust, left without inspiration, fell on both of them. Paw's irritation was growing. Couldn't these messengers drive normally? And somehow, this one is going to ruin his vacation! - Paw – said the messenger, after they stopped coughing – the Grand Master is calling you to him. He said it was urgent!

Here are the two drawings together. The two texts on the side are the begining and the end (from left to right) of the poem "The Raven" by author Edgar Allan Poe.
On this day in 1809, Edgar Allan Poe, an American short-story writer, poet, critic, and editor, was born.
I was first introduced to his work when we learnt his poem "Annabel Lee" at school. I was impressed by the beauty and melancholy of the poem and the sense of irretrievable loss. Poe's stories and poems often explore the themes of death, madness, and the supernatural. They are haunting, because the horror comes both from the external ominous environment and from deep within the human mind. His characters are usually left alone with their guilt, paranoia, and irrational impulses.
As a lover of the crime genre, I cannot help but note that Poe laid the foundations of the modern crime story with his character Auguste Dupin in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." The eerie atmosphere, the brilliant detective style, the clever conclusions and twists make this story one of my favourite.
Edgar Allan Poe's work is a bridge between the classical Gothic tradition and the modern exploration of the human psyche, a pleasure for anyone who would like to get to know human's shaddow.
