fom 69 minutes is likely going to go on indefinite hiatus due to lack of energy to keep it going at the moment. thank you everyone who has contributed and had fun with the challenge!
For the @mistria69min challenge! I don’t know how many of these I can catch up on (I will most likely be taking my time with these if ever), but I thought I’d try it out! One thing I learned from this is that I’m.. a very slow drawer. I think it was nice to get out of my comfort zone and really try to figure this out on the fly though!
This doodle took about 68 min and 55 sec.
Week 1: Farmer Introduction!
Despite being a vast farm land existing on Mistria for years, not many have taken claim over Mistgrove. Some say that interest had simply died down. Others claimed that it was haunted. The latter isn’t unfounded when one considers Mistria’s rich yet unknown history. The existence of Sweetwater farm also gave the town even less of a need to utilize Mistgrove. That is, until the earthquake struck, and Lady Adeline found it a good compromise to offer this plot of land to someone capable in exchange for help.
The townsfolk don’t really know much about Sunny Brier right away. What they do know right off the bat is that they were a member of the Adventurer’s Guild, specifically the Capital Branch. They had taken up Adeline’s request upon the recommendation of their guildmaster. When asked why, they simply reply that they wanted something peaceful; a change of pace. The earthquake was devastating for everyone, so they wanted to lend a hand wherever they could.
More Info under the cut (because I’m embarrassed by how lengthy my explanation got):
Sunny arrived to Mistria in the middle of the night, during the final days of winter. After Balor walks them to Mistrgrove, he is hounded with questions when he gets to the inn.
“So what’s the adventurer like?”
“…uh. Hm.”
Eiland is almost startled by Sunny’s presence in the dark, their eyes almost seeming like they glow under the torch light. As the noble siblings toured them around, Adeline couldn’t help but worry if she had cleaned up the farmhouse enough. Refurbishing it with a new set of furniture and a warm bed didn’t feel like it was enough to offset the strange occurrences and unexplainable aura it seemed to have. Even land itself was laden with stones, trees, stumps, and weeds. But none of that stopped the marveled wonder on their newcomer’s face.
It occurred to Sunny that Mistgrove was odd—they didn’t care. In fact, they seemed genuinely curious and excited to get started on their new life here. Both for the mystery of the land itself and for their desire to help. They had little experience in farming, having to learn the ropes of proper crop care and rotation and doing their damnest best to seem more approachable to animals, but they were a fast and willing learner with an open mind. They were kind, always eager to lend an ear and help wherever they could, and a hard worker. Even though they somewhat remain a friendly enigma, this attitude gained them the fondness and trust of the townsfolk (except for the blacksmith, who has his own reservations, and the resident bathhouse owner, who senses something strange about the new farmer that she can’t pinpoint).
Eventually, Mistgrove turns into Sunflower Grove, a farm filled with flowers and sunshine… despite the shadows that lurk in the corners.

Week 3 of the @mistria69min challenge: Happy birthday Ryis! - A birthday gift for Ryis.
His birthday gift is a whole golden cheese cake. Its so sweet how he thinks of his family bakery when gifting the golden cheesecake. I initially wanted to draw him with his family at the city but I dont have any creative juices to make his family since there isnt any visual info about them. I put frosting and blueberries because I like blueberries and it felt too empty LMAO.
My Week 2 submission to @mistria69min !! I love Balor sm,, I think what really sold me on his character is the Snicklefritz dnd saga. I like to imagine that’s a nickname of his now lol
