(Old art blog, no longer used. I can be found @melonsalts, which is my new art blog.) Hi, I'm Melon, and I draw things! Comics, digital art, traditional, the occasional animation, all that kind of good stuff.

I did a thing :D Tea0-0stache is my tumblr btw :D

________________________________________________________ OKAY BUT. I haven’t posted anything for this AU in forever, AND PEOPLE ARE STILL MAKING SUCH BEAUTIFUL THINGS FOR IT?? This makes me so happy, this is wonderful, thank you so much for drawing this! ❤

[melonsalts-old]

Hey hey, it’s me. So. It’s been over a week since my last post. Whoops, this actually took a lot longer than I thought it would. School’s started again, meaning homework and stupid drama have resumed right on schedule! Yaaaay… And of course, my stylus broke part way through drawing this, so that was a fun predicament to deal with. Anyways, be prepared for a lot of new lore stuff, including past lives, reincarnation, royal kingdoms, and even more stuff for me to explain in long run on paragraphs, woooooo! Hope you enjoy, and sorry for the sarcasm. This week hasn’t been great to me, but this AU lets me take my mind off it a bit. 😅

○□{ Roman Galloway }□○ • 5'7, Prince of the Sanders Kingdom • Follows: Patton • Adopted son of King Thomas Sanders and older brother of Princess Valerie. • Both siblings were from separate families who couldn’t take care of them, and so left them at the kingdom’s orphanage. (Run by Dahlia and Rafaela, two of Thomas’s childhood friends.) They were adopted at age 12 and 10. • Proficient with a sword and at riding horses, but was constantly challenged by Valerie’s skills. • Died on a personal trip to the neighboring Kingdom of Dahrk. Refuses to elaborate on it, but insists it was fittingly tragic. • Had friendships with Patton, Logan, and Virgil’s previous incarnations when he was still alive, and afterwards for quite some time too. • Logan was Thomas’s most trusted Royal Advisor, with the highest IQ and one of the shortest tempers in Sanders. Patton was considered “The Speaker of the Dead”, allowing Sanders to have a second Royal Council made entirely of ghosts, appropriately named “The Council of the Afterlife”. Virgil was a peasant from Dahrk who Roman met during his trip, who later moved with his mother to Sanders after Roman’s death, and was eventually knighted for avenging Roman. • Once the three died as well, only Logan and Virgil became ghosts for more than a few minutes. Patton had to be reincarnated almost as soon as he died due to his special abilities. Their reunion was happy, sad, and over way too quickly all at once. (If you thought there wasn’t going to be atleast a little bit of angst in this AU, you were sorely mistaken, friend.) • Logan and Virgil eventually got reincarnations as well, but Roman stayed on the “other side”, as it was called, for a couple hundred years. • The wait was worth it, though, because eventually Patton’s reincarnation is born, and Roman is with him from the moment he finds out his old friend has returned. ( <- This conflicts with a bit of previous canon from Patton’s profile, but I prefer this more story wise.)

Hey hey, happy Easter everyone! Thought I’d post one of my old drawings from a few weeks back ‘cause it fits with the whole Easter pastel thing. Originally inspired by a request from one of my school friends.

Hey, also, if you were wondering about Poor Unfortunate Souls, I’ve been taking the weekend to work on some lore for it, including how all the ghost-sight stuff works, since I’ve noticed even I don’t understand it at times. 😅 So, future stuff to look forward to: more PUSAU lore/story related stuff, and an animatic I thought would be fun to do. Hope you all enjoy. :)

Hello hello, it’s me, that melon kid! Welcome back to Poor Unfortunate Souls, everyone! Goodness gravy, has this all blown up over the past week. In fact, the taglist now includes over 30 people, and this account has 135 followers now! Thank you all so much for your continued support! 😊 And now, Virgil’s profile! Giant wall of facts and lore and stuff under the cut, btw. (I may have went a bit overboard, haha.) Hope you all enjoy!

●■{ Virgil Harmon }■●

 • 5'10, Advanced Literature student 

 • Ghost(s): Virgil’s gotten to the point where he just calls him “Deceit” (What even is this guy’s name??) 

 • Think of the most introverted person you know. …Wrong answer, Virgil is now that person. 

 • Will only talk to someone if they talk to him first, if at all. Has moved away from several schools only a few months after being admitted without talking to any other students.

 • Fairly sure most people are intimidated by him, for some reason. 

 • Closet is mostly black, partially purple, and full of beanies. 

 • Deceit’s been following him around for years. How many? Neither are even sure anymore. 

 • Virgil started to notice Deceit following him a few days before he actually confronted him. He was following him because he wanted to make a deal. 

• …Virgil accepted. 

 • He didn’t have that tattoo before he made the deal. Has to wear long sleeved shirts and sweaters all the time to keep it hidden. 

 • Can only see certain ghosts. Mostly vengeful spirits and other ghosts with contracts with humans. Fairly sure he’s never met any other kind of ghosts. 

 • Due to his parent’s jobs, Virgil’s family has to move fairly often. About once every 6 month, nowadays. 

 • In his most recent new school, there seem to be an above average amount of ghosts hanging around. The vast majority of them don’t seem to have contracts, but they don’t seem like vengeful spirits either. Deceit seems suspicious. 

 • Virgil makes eye contact with a boy in a light grey sweater. He has TWO ghosts following him. Virgil’s never seem someone with more than one ghost. The boy’s blue eyes literally light up. 

 • The boy smiles at him, but his smile falls when he looks up and sees Deceit. Wait, he SEES DECEIT. This boy can see the ghost following Virgil! 

 • The class bell rings, and the boy runs off before Virgil can say anything. He needs to talk to this boy. He can see ghosts like he can, but this feels… different, somehow. Deceit is oddly quiet after this encounter…

 Hey, you survived my giant wall of text! 😅 Just so you know, story planning for this is now underway. I’d like to make a comic for Roman’s part, with the rest of the story being written, with the occasional drawing for important parts. I need to do more writing, and this seems like a good opportunity to do so. This will likely take quite a bit of time, especially the comic part, so I’ll probably keep posting profiles like this for a while. That should be all for now. :)

Taglist Related Update

[So, I’m sending this because I want to be added to your tag list, and you don’t have asks enabled, and only people you follow can message you. I love unfortunate souls already, and if you want to tag me in something else feel free to do so! Your art is amazing!] @ultimate-queen-of-fandoms (Queenie)

🍉: Hi, Queenie! Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I wasn’t aware I had these turned off! This should be fixed now, I believe. Also, thank you so much, I’ll make sure to add you to the list!

[mysticmessenaround]

This is fan art inspired by @melonsalts ghost AU!

[melonsalts-old]

This is beautiful, thank you so much!!

[melonsalts-old]

Yo yo, it’s me again! Hey there, welcome back! So, I finally decided on a name for this Ghost AU! From now on, this AU will be called Poor Unfortunate Souls! (Yes, like that one song from the Little Mermaid, I imagined Ghost!Deceit singing it one time for no reason, and it kind of stuck.) So, here’s Patton’s individual profile thing, including full body reference, color palette, and some expression stuff! Lore/world-building stuff/random facts will be under the cut, as well as the taglist, if you’re interested. Hope you enjoy! :)  

○□{ Patton O'Connor }□○ • 5'9 Art nerd. • Ghost(s): Roman and Logan • Has an older brother named Remy who runs a coffee shop a block or two from his high school. • Always has a specific notebook on him that Logan and Roman can write in, even when they aren't directly with him. Also functions as a sort of journal they can all write in as well. Patton will typically write most of the interactions with his ghost friends in it. • Has been able to see ghosts, spirits, and the like since he was in Kindergarten. • First ghost he really met was Roman, who helped him make some friends on his first day of school, (Joan and Terrence,) and has been following him ever since. He doesn't really mind, he enjoys Roman's company. • Terrence eventually moved schools, and Joan moved to the next town over, but they all stayed great friends, and got together to hang out often. • Patton's family decided to move to the town Joan moved to when Patton was in high school. Joan is the only alive person he knows in his new school, but Joan helps him fit in pretty quick. • He sees people being followed by ghosts all the time, usually by relatives, friends, or partners from previous lives. He's heard of people making contracts with ghosts/spirits before, too, but those are typically more rare, apparently. • He sees one boy in particular with purple hair in his new school being followed by a ghost with a normal man's torso and the body of a yellow cobra. It is... very intimidating. • He makes eye contact with the boy the ghost is following, and both boys' eyes literally light up. He looks at Patton as if he just saw a ghost. Apparently, he did. Two, in fact. Two he didn't usually see. • They don't get a chance to talk, since they both had to run off to class, but Patton vowed to find this boy and talk to him. He could tell this boy could see what he could see, what no one else could.

(Thank you for reading this giant wall of text, sorry this is so long! 😅)

Yo, it’s that melon kid again! Welcome back to my Ghost AU! The character designs and original picture were received super well, I’m so glad you all liked my idea, so thank you! Here’s another picture of our main boys going out for some coffee or something, thought it’d be cool to try out some different outfits with them. Bonus: Virgil with curly hair ‘cause he didn’t have time to straighten it. Next drawings will likely be individual profiles for each of the characters, including some lore stuff, so look forward to that! I’m trying to get into a posting schedule of atleast one post every other day, but we’ll see how that goes once spring break’s over. If I can’t get anything new drawn, I might just put up some old doodles. Got a Deceit one I particularly enjoy, so that’ll probably be the first up if that’s the case. Anyways, hope you enjoy! :) (Currently can't link to my original post, Tumblr's being dumb, sorry. It's the last post I made on here, though, so it won't be hard to find.)

Hello hello, it’s me! So, these are already like a week old, but I decided I should actually post them. This is all stuff for a Sanders Sides AU I thought up on a roadtrip a few weeks ago, that’s all about ghosts. Still not 100% sure on an AU name yet, though. Anyways, first picture was drawn on said roadtrip, on Colors! 3D on my 3DS ‘cause I forgot my tablet stylus. The others are chibis of everyone’s designs. Hope you enjoy. :)

(Colors! 3D Account if you want to see the 3D version of the first picture on your 3DS: @ SnakesInSweaters )

(Edit: Hey, it's me again, just wanted to say thank you for all of the notes! You all are so super nice, it means a lot to me. Also, I've seen that people would like to be tagged in this when I post more. If you would like to be added to the taglist, feel free to simply send me an ask or ask in a reblog to be added. Thank you all so much for your support! ❤)

Happy 1 Year Name Reveal Anniversary, Roman!!

Yo yo, it’s me again. Today was Roman’s 1 year Name-iversary, so it seemed like a perfect time to draw something. Roman isn’t my all time favorite Side, but boy is he fun to draw! His facial expressions are so fun to do, it’s great. Anyways, here you go, the boys celebrating Princey’s name reveal! Hope you enjoy. :)

Edit: UM. I'M SORRY? WHY DID THIS JUST SUDDENLY BLOW UP? Thank you all so much for your tons of likes and reblogs, all of your wonderfully nice messages totally made my crappy day! ❤

[melonsalts-old]

Hello hello, it's me again. Wait a second, this isn't a drawing? Nope, lemme explain. About two and a half months ago, maybe three, I threw myself headfirst into the Sanders Sides series by Thomas Sanders on YouTube, and oh boy, I was not disappointed. The series is wonderful, the characters even more so, and as someone who has recently gotten into cosplay, I could not pass up the opportunity to make some stuff. And so, here we are, a recreation of Virgil's new sweater. 5 days and a sore arm later, I could not be more happy with how this turned out, surprisingly. If you like this, look out for some of the fanart I'd like to post in the future, cause oh boy, have I made a lot, along with 2 AUs I'd like to write for. Anyways, I should get going, as this is already a paragraph long, so bye!

[melonsalts-old]

Heyo, it's me, that watermelon kid who never posts ever. I finally decided I should start posting again, cause, well. I never do. And I should do that. I draw enough that there has to be atleast something decent to post, so here we are. Since the last time I've posted, my art style has once again changed. I tried drawing noses one time, and now they're a part of my style, I guess. Anyways, here's an obligatory improvement Anti, since I haven't drawn him in forever, and he seems to be my go to on here. Hope you enjoy!

[melonsalts-old]

Hello again. Just some pixel art/background practice with a sleepy human named Ethan, who is also one of the characters from that universe I've been drawing recently. So... Yeah, not much else to say about it. Hope you enjoy.

[melonsalts-old]

(Green Tea)

Whoa, I already made another of these?! Yup. Cause they’re actually fun to do. I also noticed that most of these characters can actually be associated with drinks, so I guess that’s what I’m going for as the title theme for these! So, yeah, this is Jade! She’s technically our main alien kid, so I’m not sure why I didn’t draw her first, but whatever. Hope you like her!

[melonsalts-old]

(Pink Lemonade)

So, um… Hi again! It’s been… several months, since I’ve posted. My birthday came and went, school started again, Halloween was a thing, and I didn’t post anything. Mostly cause I don’t think I made anything decent in that time, but whatever, I made something now! This is Ruby, one of the characters from a comic I’ve been creating recently! So, I hope you like her! And I actually start posting more! 😅 Anyway, BYYYE!!

(Edit: Dang it, forgot her tattoos. :/ )

[melonsalts-old]

Hey there! So... Anti recently happened! Again... So of course, like always, I had to draw him. Several times, apparently. Tried some new lighting stuff, which I'm actually really happy with! So... Yeah! Here's some Anti for you!

[melonsalts-old]

IT'S DOOOOONE! After 11 months of crazy tedious animation, my Rolling Girl MV/meme/whatever you want to call it is finished! Thanks again to Abby @certifiedpilgrim for helping once again with the editing! You're amazing, man! Anyways, I hope you enjoy my first full length animation!
