GOSH I SAW THE MIRROR REF FROM @adorkastock AND I COULDN’T GET TO DRAWING FAST ENOUGH

When you’ve been so many different people it’s hard to know which is real…

In the end I think they all are.

Goretober day 01. BITTEN

Going off the list by @cartexcreationsart because it inspired me the most out of the ones I found!

For this prompt I knew exactly what I wanted to do - and Accalyn's moment of regret is something I've never drawn despite having illustrated this scene twice already.

Fucking love this small bastard he's my guy and he is so sad!!!!! He hadn't eaten in three days!!!! This moment actually does kinda fuck his eating up further as well :(((

No I am probably not gonna do all of goretober, just the ones that capture my imagination :)

Lil blinky animation for my boi accy because I found the animation tool on procreate and finally actually made something that works!!

This is the first time I've ever made a looping animation that actually works properly and looks good and even though it's simple I am so pleased with myself for it :D

I love drawing Accalyn when he was young and happy. It reminds me that he actually was happy once and gives me motivation to let him be happy again. Despite everything I think he deserves that.

Also I found the outfit on Pinterest and immediately thought "Accalyn would look amazing in that" so... How could I resist?

I love being an artist XD

A small bit of actual story for once:

Accalyns eyes focused on the horizon. "There are mountains in the distance. Why are there mountains? There are none in the stories."

Aferyn blinked slowly at him, "Stories can be wrong. But in this case, there are mountains because you are not where you think you are."

His laugh was humourless. "Well? There's not a chance I'd see Gadtyn."

Aferyn smiled softly, almost sadly, and confirmed. "No. Not Gadtyn, but not Fjeryn either."

"There is another?"

"Of a kind." They raised their head a little, gazing beyond Accalyn and into the distance behind him. Then turned to face the mountains, then back to him. "Come, let me lead you to where you are supposed to be. Where you are needed most."

"Needed?" He exclaimed, "Have I not done enough?"

"Don't fear, the road you have travelled is in the past, and you can make, still, a kinder future."

They lifted their head and looked over towards the mountains, then closed their eyes. A soft and perfect harmony of song seemed to ring from them, clearer and more beautiful than anything he had heard before, and Accalyn found tears welling in his eyes. He looked up at them, and found himself staring only into a night sky, dark and smeared with clouds. A light rain was falling. The first pink strokes of a sunrise glowed softly behind the mountains in the distance.

"Earth." He whispered to himself, and smiled. For the first time in 20 years, he found he was at peace.

Context:

Aferyn is the eternal guardian of the Levean concept of an afterlife (Gadtyn, realm of creation; Fjeryn, realm of destruction). Neither is inherently good or bad, it just sort of depends on the kind of people you want to be around. Gadtyn is often home to artists, musicians, writers, those with great visions of kindness, the loving, the giving, the selfless, the ones that long to explore, the ones that search for knowledge, who seek to better themselves for others. Fjeryn is home to fighters, warriors, those that incited or died in battle, great leaders, the vengeful, the selfish, the ones that destroy, the ones that better themselves only. The original names "Alvea Fjeryn" and "Alvea Gadtyn" translate roughly to "Land of that which has lost (in the context of destruction)" and "Land of that which has created" respectively.

Fun fact!

Accalyn's War is noted to have begun with the murder of several important diplomats meeting in council with Levean representatives, but if you ask Accalyn the war began a few months earlier when some of the aforementioned diplomats made an offhanded threat to Levea which brought to light several underhanded attempts to destabilise the Vynnkri government and allow a 'peaceful' invasion disguised as aid. The first outward act of war, however, would be the murder of Weapons and Communications specialists' Katherina and Georg Nikola.
