And so the year comes to an end...

Happy new year everybody!! I'm so happy to say that 2025 is over; it has been a ride for sure.

Alongside that, we now have less than a month until the 1st anniversary of Acadia! I genuinely cannot believe I've been drawing these silly little critters for almost a whole year now. I'll keep my thoughts on that for when the day finally comes.

Here's to the many great years ahead!

Dude I'm not gonna lie, I think Wenda's death in ask acadia would've legit destroyed me if the blog ever finished- Plus I get the feeling that your plan would've not involved any sorts of revival, so uh... okay i didn't really think about how to conclude this, lol-

It definitely wouldn’t have lol- but yeah, thank you!! One of my top goals with Acadia was making the sprunki worth caring about and I’m glad it worked :]

Also I should mention, you’re still allowed to send asks to @ask-acadia! The askbox is open, it’s just that I’ll answer rather than the characters

THE TRUTH WRITTEN IN THE TOME.

OWEN “OWAKCX” CRYSTAL An accomplice of a crime he did not know of. He was punished for his compliance.

VINERIA IRONWEED When the world first bled, she hid herself from the face of the Black Death, but again it found her. Its flickering shadow sprouted endless weeds.

JEVIN SOLSTHEIM Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

SIMON ESQUERDA A moth to a flame, he walked into a light from which he could not escape. The fire became a snare too heavy for his head.

DURPLE PROWYSS Searched far too long to fill a void within himself. By the time he found his answer, his teeth had melted away.

GRAY SKYLARK He faced the Black Death when the rest was lost. At the tipping point, he could not keep his balance.

WENDALYN VINES Sloth is an unforgivable sin. The cat did not think to turn her head when her claws were no longer her own.

BITTER WINDS A consequence of his own creation. He, too, withered with the last dying leaves. True reform comes at an unpayable price.

This is the Tome of the Dead - a secondary masterpost, dedicated to those who did not survive and can no longer answer questions.

This list will grow as the death toll does. Deaths will be added here as they are revealed throughout the story, as well as some extra details about their nature.

Official Acadia Reference Sheets - Voices

And here we have the final five, rounding out the main cast! I already had solid designs for these guys, so it was all a matter of putting them into official references :]

I think Jevin and Bitter are my favorite two, even if Bitter is just stylized at the end of the day. Since Wenda has a pair of black bracelets on only one hand, I had to find a workaround. Her belly is blank anyways so it's not really hiding anything lol

Alongside this, all the reference sheets have been added to my pinned masterpost for easy finding! Hope you enjoy.

Official Acadia Reference Sheets - Effects

Hoo boy I had a lot of fun with these ones! I tried to give Gray markings resembling a civet's in order to help with the distinction. Hopefully it helps! His design can be simplified if need be.

Also, fun facts that won't really become relevant in canon:

-Sky's subspecies, the ursida, usually have five fingers and claws at the end of each hand. Sky's hands are the way they are because of a mutation, and he's never noticed because the sprunki he grew up around have the same kind of hands he does.

-OWAKCX looks spiny, but he's actually quite soft! His fur helps him look much bigger when he's frightened. He can also roll around in mud to make his fur sharp.

-Garnold can, in fact, curl into a ball when he's spooked, but he's had to suppress this instinct thanks to the suit he always wears.

Official Acadia Reference Sheets - Beats

Since the poll ended with an overwhelming amount of yeses and I wanted to do some doodling, here are the reference sheets for our beats!

Most of these involved a bit of playing around with markings and for some, small color updates. Raddy also has heterochromia now :]

Official Acadia Reference Sheets - Melodies

These ones are a little out of order since Simon isn't smack dab in the middle, but here are the references for our melodies!

I think out of all of these I had the most fun with Simon's and Durple's. Doing the bioluminescent markings on Starforms is so fun

Side note: Mr. Sun and Mr. Tree's mouths are both solid-colored when they're open, so I didn't include their open-mouthed references.

Liam i want to punch Bitter in the face.

One of many </3 I should compile all the people wanting to beat him up into a post someday

Have a crinkled car doodle I drew as soon as I saw this ask
