good day @divinit3a, and SURPRISE- I WAS YOUR SECRET VALENTINE!
hooray!! :DD
I love these boys' designs, bc I personally haven't seen anyone keep them as animatronics while also making them something else, like with these and your yeti designs! I love that detail so much!!
The setting isn't super clear as I probably should have asked if the Pizza Plex for this AU is like an aquarium or if they have a big open spot of ocean that they're using, so I left it up to the viewer's interpretation. And I added a lil, generic handler/worker Y/N too :)
These were so much fun to draw and I got so excited that I was able to draw for you bc your artstyle and concepts are beautiful and amazing to stare at. I have a good meal every time you post new DCA art!
I hope you enjoy and happy valentines (and ofc don't forget to click/tap for better quality bc tumblr really squashed this one) ^^
AND LASTLY:
here's a ver without all the lighting effects so you can see the colors and details better!
@sardine-can HAPPY VALENTINES FROM YOUR SECRET VALENTINEEEEE!!! ITS MEEEEEE
I heard you like soft moments with the DCA, and what’s better than cuddling in bed singing Epic together? Drawing the lads in casual clothes was so much fun ❤️❤️ I hope you like it!!!
Big thanks to the DCABeeTeam for organizing another great event!!
I want to say right off the bat (Get it?) that your designs are peak and I knew I was going to have fun drawing them since the very beginning. Your DCAs are so prettyy!!
I didn't know anything about the story so I kind of just winged it (Okay, I'll stop). My thought process was, "Hmm vampire.. vampire..... vampire like blood mmm.. vampire give real beating heart? Nooo too gore! hmmm.. vampire fancyyy.. vampire CASTLE!!! COURTYARD!!"
I started with this ⤵️
I chose Moon first because I'm a Moon lober. He's my shine. It's my rock. It's my wife. I love himb.
The idea was for Moon and y/n to have a chat (or rather, y/n yaps and moon listens) while walking through a courtyard in the flower garden. The camera was placed so only the viewer can see Moon's face. He has softened for them quite a bit.
Your y/n looks like the oblivious type, so they are unaware of this. They look studious and like some sort of investigator/explorer, so they're yapping about something they learned or something new they found.
It is mid-day. I don't know what his situation is but the fact that it's a vampire and, well, it's Moon, I figured the light wouldn't feel so good. I gave him a maAaAgicAlll umbrella with a veil to proctect him from the sun and any other light. Fancy how Moon went out of it's way to spend time with y/n in such a condition. He can get hurt. He could've been safe and comfortable in the dark but he chose not to.. Hmm...
Unfortunately, it was discarded because I couldn't get the perspective to look right. Trying to fix it felt unnatural so I decided to start a new one.
However, I did decide the keep the fancy castle theme. You got all this.. c a s t l e . . . with all this space. Surely, there is a ballroom in there. Naturally, as you do, someone would dance in them. Make the vampire. Dance. With y/n... Yes.
I started with this ⤵️
I chose to use Eclipse this time. The OOOs and AWWEs as I looked across the ref sheet peaked when I got to them. They're just so GRAND! I love the stars and shape of their cape and- I really wanted to do something with them.
I wanted it to be dramatic, so I looked through ballroom references for inspiration. I started off by drawing everything in black and white so I could work on my values. ⤵️
Honestly, I wish I wasn't shy about making things dark and gloomy. If I could change anything, I would make some values darker and others lighter. More contrasting stuff.
I added a new layer and changed it to some sort of overlay so I could color in the original instead of making a new one. ⤵️
Lineart felt unnatural that day so I had to do the classic old "throw a blob of color on the canvas and refine it until it looks like the Mona Lisa" ...or painting.. is the more popular term for it...⤵️
I don't have a proper screenshot but you can probably see. Eclipse and y/n are just refined blobs of color. Lineart was an afterthought.
I wish I could say it's just my style, but I gave Clippy little spirals in their cape purely for my enrichment. I like shapes.
Thank you again for being so patient with me. I was worried and the milk and cookie helped a lot! I hope you have a nice day and good food comes your way! 💖💞
I was your secret valentine(????) (Idk what to call it by XD)
Just made it to the deadline in the nick of time! TwT
I hope i did your lil guys justice :3
Theyve either just finished making or receiving some valentines cards ^^
Whether theyre for the kids or your sona or each other, or have just gotten them from any of em is up to interpretation :)
Hope you like it! ^^
(Its currently around 5am for me as i finish these so i mightve missed something in my slight hurry. Just lemme know if anything missing and ill try and fix it X3)
(Also sorry this took so long i had to switch art programs part way through lmao)
Hi hi @petrichormuse! Happy Valentine’s Day! I was your secret valentine. Hope you like it~ here’s your y/n and jack o moon doing shenanigans in the daycare
Hello @rinzydings, I was your Secret Valentine!
I wanted to draw something cute and relaxed so I thought why not a sleepy movie night?
I meant to have this out ON Valentines Day but I blame art block for a surprise visit -_-
Anyway I hope you like it and I hope your valentines was nice!
You're my Secret Valentine and when I read you liked unhinged Sun welll~ I skipped into the kitchen to hopefully whip up something soup-er tasty for you!
And hey, would you look at that so did Sun!
He went and made you some origami roses and even stole found a candle for your very special and romantic date night! Couldn't be a romantic date without flowers and mood lighting; even if he refuses to dim the lights to make it the typical kind.
He even went out of his way to make you your favorite kind of food! With a very secret special recipe, he made up on his own; just for you!
Oh the jump ropes? Don't worry about those silly! Those are tied around you for your safety! It's very hot soup being served to you and Sun doesn't want you to burn yourself!
SO you'll just have to sit still and keep your hands away and let your Sunny feed you~
But don't worry your darling little head, the ropes will be untied once you finished up all your special valentine's day soup~
(lil extra snippets under the cut)
Also I like to think Sun drew on his blush lines since he can't actually blush.
Also I hope this wasn't too weird? I mean it was meant to be a lil weird (unhinged after all) but having it come from someone you don't really interact with I hope it isn't upsetting at the very least.
oh and sorry backgrounds are not my specialty but I tried to make it very daycare like.
