A gift for @mujin-fanartist , a fellow Lovecraft Hypnos fan, may this fandom get more than just us😌

Tried to design a costume around the Flamboyant and then suddenly got the urge to turn her into a character for my lore lol. I have no plans as to how or even if I should integrate her into the present story, but she certainly exist at least....

Fun fact: I drew most of this while listening to the Magnet remake on loop

She's very much a version of the Maiden from Haïta the shepherd, whose name is not revealed until the end, so uh... Spoilers for the ≈15minutes story!

Once upon a time, the King in Yellow commissioned the finest Divine Craftsmen to create the physical embodiment of what is promised to those truly loyal to him.

The results was a maiden whose beauty shines so bright, space itself bent and warped around her. The maiden, however, was incredibly fragile, one action and the already rotten flesh beneath her porcelain shell would be exposed.

Unlike all the rest of the Court, she does not wear a mask. In fact, The King forbids her from ever hiding it so that she may show anyone what their rewards for faithfully and unquestioningly serving the King was.

When the stars fell and the skies inverted as the lake brought Carcosa to ruins, the maiden, who was named "Happiness" vanished.

The end(?)

More notes and ramblings under cut↓

The first sketch of my idea↑

The Flamboyant, or Delonix Regia, was a tree heavily associated with student life (and, by extension, youth) in Vietnam, as it starts to bloom towards the end of the school year over here.

They were originally brought from Madagascar and planted in public space by French colonialists in the first few years of their occupation because of how quickly and beautifully it grew.

In recent years, however, it was found that these trees, while outwardly looking fine, were rotting from the inside due to their shorter lifespan and weak roots. This fact is what first sparked the idea of turning this character into someone of the KiY's court, I think.

Why the Maiden named Happiness (or as I've been calling her in my head: Letitia) though? Well, I thought about how much the god Hastur had changed throughout time, though in my lore Hastur is simply another god of TKiY's court, I wondered how the other characters from Ambrose Bierce's story would be like if they were changed and twisted like their god, too. While I still can't really think of anything substantial for Haïta, the idea for Letitia came the moment I started wondering.

Letitia without (most of) the lighting for a better look at her colors↑

Behold, design notes for my own interpretation of the Hypnos from the Cthulhu mythos, the one (technically) responsible for keeping me in Carcosa in my own lore, and the in-lore reason for my near constant yawning on my own streams.

I took full use of him being Sleep Incarnate to go vague with the design lmao

(Plus some shots of him from when I was drawing the comic)

He's partially inspired by Clow Reed, if that gives you an idea of how much of a mess he is behind that nonchalant facade lol

The lake cannot fall asleep on her own, but with a lethal potent enough enchantment from a certain god, she can experience what it is like to rest.

Yeah I turned a doodle into an opportunity to lore thing lmao

I was feeling eepy so I drew Lili eepy, nothing much to note, except maybe the purple blob thing on her head, which is supposed to be Hypnos' hand lol

I have no idea why she ended up kinda looking like a deer btw, I blame fatigue

Apparently Byakhees change to match their masters, because these guys used to look a lot different when that guy was in charge...

Now they get to be cute and fluffy!!
