So, I’ve been silent for a while, months, really, and there’s a reason. I needed to pull myself away for a few reasons to ground myself.
For one, heavy stress with a sudden influx of project works and I get easily distracted, but the biggest reason was the loss of my dad who passed away around the time I paused everything and just fell silent.
And I do apologize for this greatly, esp right in the middle of doing some art for everyone on a list. But it was a hard emotional and mental time for me and I was at a low point when things back to back hit me.
And I needed to mourn and find my footing so that I didn’t burn out hard.
I’ll keep this short, but I’m slowly coming back and picking back up where I left off, including that list of art. STILL doing it as I said that I would.
Hope everyone is doing great, and staying healthy. It’s important to take time to yourself mentally and physically!
Goodness i dont know what to call this au 😭 Maybe it’s hundreds of years in to the future? Maybe Astarion meets Tav again after so much time has passed
Songs that are either referenced directly in my Fluffy Sinister Strange series, or make think of our naughty & sweet spooky boy.
I wanted to give a little snippet of some of the songs I picked for this playlist. So I've included the song title, artist, & a few lines that I feel fit the story. There are more that aren't listed here. These are just my personal faves.
"Rescue Me" by: Chris Young
This one is one pretty much all of my Marvel playlists.
"Who is gonna rescue me? Cause it sure feels krytonite how you got me on one knee with my hand out begging for mercy. What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl? What's it matter if I save the world? If you don't promise me, before you take this ring & rescue me."
"I Wish I Was The Moon" by: Neko Case
This one is for Stephen before you fell into his universe.
"Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name. Cause I had sold my soul, but I awoke just the same. I'm so lonely. I wish I was the moon tonight."
"A Thousand Years" by: Christina Perri
I can't hear this song without bursting into tears. It's like a Disney fairytale.
"I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."
"Feel Again" by: JLV
"Been so long that maybe I forgot how to love. I've been running. I've been running. Somehow, you reminded me with only a touch. Make me wanna feel it again."
"At Last" by: Etta James
I firmly believe this song is overused, but it still fits very well here.
"You smiled. Oh, & then the spell was cast. Here we are in heaven. For you are mine at last."
"Ablaze" by: Alanis Morrisette
This one is for little Donna from her parents.
"To my girl, all your innocence & fire. When you reach out, I am here hell or high water. This nest is never going away. My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze."
"Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" by: Brooks & Dunn
"Once I thought that love was something I could never do. Never knew that I could feel this much. But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you is more than a reaction to your touch. It's a perfect passion, & I can't get enough."
Songs directly referenced in stories & moodboards:
"In A Different Light" by: Doug Stone
"Spooky" by: Classics IV
"Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by: Elvis Presley
(spoiler warning) At the end of the movie, Miles quickly puts on clothes in order to hide his suit. Little does he know, those clothes belong to the “other” Miles. I designed some costume ideas for that scene!
Miles G is a bit darker and edgier than our Miles so I tried to reflect that in his clothing. He still likes puffer jackets, but maybe with a bit more influence from Uncle Aaron. Tried to incorporate some Prowler purple and green as well, as a nod towards Miles G’s identity. Option "D.alt" is closest to what ended up on-screen.

Details of prompt list:
"OPEN" means open slot for request - send my way either here, PM, or ask. I'll have everything saved separately. Have any last minute changes? Please, let me know, plenty of time to adjust your request before October. Otherwise, I will have some to fill in the blanks for anything open still.
One character per person, and can have one prop, though nothing too elaborate. Timing these to finish within the month. Some may take longer than others.
These will be the size of 8" x 10" and done in procreate.
Everything will be black inked digitally, but I can see about adding some colored ink accents, no full color render. Depends on the subject, but primarily black ink style.
You can save them, use them as wallpaper, color them! Please credit, though! I hope you all will enjoy these!
This is purely for fun, and for the sole purpose of practice and experience. I love collaborations and sharing this sort of thing.
Also, if you don't want to be tagged, please let me know!
UPDATE: deadline for requests is tomorrow, and then I'll begin the first and work my way through.
I may add an extra or two, but I'm excited to work on these during Spooky Month! 🔥
It's been a crazy September for me, busier than I had thought, but with deadlines hitting end of October, I'll be more open for commissions afterwards. Just need to get there day by day.
Anyone celebrating have costumes planned/ready? Im getting there with mine lol 🧙🏼
