like. this is how autumn felt to everyone this year, right?
based on that one office meme:
hehe :3
See, Autumn always sneaks up on Summer. ALWAYS. EVERY YEAR, WITHOUT FAIL, AND ALWAYS MANAGES TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF SUMMER. EVERY! TIME! And I gotta be real with everyone right now: I think of this damn meme EVERY SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER. SO glad to have finally drawn it! 🤩🤩🤩
Have some art/design notes! Yay!
I ADORED the way lmelodie styled Autumn's hair here and it's sticking a bit, lol
Autumn deffs still usually does two big ol' braids! Summer does her hair for her. The thing I didn't finish that I shared Summers from involves that, lmao :3
I couldn't resist spoopifying her outfit a bit. I think October rolls on in and Autumn just slowly starts adding spooky things to her fit until she's rocking the "haunted experience at the scar" fit for the Halloweek festivities >:)
She looks GREAT in the bottom one! She's TOO slim in the top there, I messed up my lines 🫠🫠🫠
While I LOVE putting Summer in yellow CONSTANTLY bc she is literally made of sunshine, she is ALSO made of surf and sea and so I went ahead and dug through my folder of fits for her, and had a lil bit of fun with her outfit!
Also. Autumn is also a bit on the taller side I decided, lol. She's about 5'9 to Summer's solid 6'3 >:)
Hmm. I'll give you guys some treats. Have the OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL SEASONS HEIGHT CHART!
(I am NOT JOKING when I say OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL. The file name for this thang is "seasons heights - ish")
Anddddd an older skecth of Autumn with her two braids!
Fun fact: I originally was thinking of having Autumn be indigenous! But then I thought that there was a possibility that that portrayal may be culturally insensitive or perhaps a stereotype if not done correctly/right, so I pondered my orbs and then Autumn art became a thing and here we are! I think, of all the seasons, her design is the most FLUCTUATING but tbh, given everything that happens during fall???? Checks out!
She and Summer are such a fun duo, they've been on my mind quite a bit this month! :)
getting back to my spiritfarer passengers when they were alive series!! shout out to summer, her send off is the only one thats made me legit sob so far LMAO
The Season Sisters would like me to inform you that it's never too late for some spoopy HALLOWEEN VIBES!
...Or in this case, art! hehe.
A very happy spoopy season from the Season Sisters to you!
I was very ambitious two Thursday nights ago when I drafted this post, I was like. I'M GONNA GET ALL FOUR DRAWINGS DONE. We'll see how it goes! And then Sam killed Brennan so hard with the shirt that the cr episode ended at a Reasonable Bedtime and I only got done the sketches for Summer and Spring (Autumn was sketched earlier in the week :)
This past Thursday night, I managed to get the other sketches done and inked and have SLOWLY been colouring them throughout the week and FINALLY. LO! SPOOPY SCARY SEASON SISTERS BE UPON YE!
...well, not too spoopy lmao.
All four doodles are based off of some vintage greeting cards:
I saw that first one, and was IMMEDIATELY like "Autumn needs to be in this YESTERDAY. STAT." Then the blue one came up and like, Winter vibes, right? RIGHT? ESPESH with ye olde Halloween myth, about seeing your true love in the mirror. AND I've managed to draw a decent Blaise in the mirror, FUCK YEAH! (I'm hoping to show the follow up to that particular art one day lmao, which is Blaise in his costume for this year urging Winter to change into hers >:) And hopefully I can include the Twins too! Hehe.)
After that I was keeping my EYES PEELED for a Spring and Summer one, and the bottom two were my faves. I was torn between who to draw in what, but settled on Spring in the starry dress bc it's more Spring vibes, and I could take a lot more creative liberty with the blue and orange one for Summer who is a very flowy clothes kinda sprite, huehue.
Summer gave me trouble, tbh! Posing her was hard bc I could not for the LIFE OF ME get the angle right. I also wanted to adjust the pose a bit to be more Summer-y lmao. She is WAY more energetic/expressive than the nice stiff witch in the inspiration card would suggest! And then since she and Spring were on brooms, I gave them backgrounds lol. fun fact: the backgrounds made the png WAY BIGGER than tumblr could handle, so I had to jpeg them and post those instead, lmao.
Autumn and Winter are actually both on the same page as the other two, and very squished bc of all the broom space needed, so idk if I'll background them but hey! I saved the sketches and maybe I can dip back into digital one day--we'll see :)
Winter's card actually references an old Halloween myth, where if you look in the mirror at midnight, you'd see your true love/the person you are destined to be with! We do all be knowing it's Blaise, hehe. I'm obSESSED with the way those two are looking at each other, for real for REAL. NO IDEA how I managed that but glad I did!
Anyway, if you dig vintage greeting cards and don't mind terrible humour, would highly recommend following weirdchristmas for a healthy dose of vintage greeting cards :) (that's where these came from!)
