So I’ve seen ⭐’s asks about the species of the Sixtended characters in my Monster au, and I love the ideas that were suggested
I threw in my own about Arthur based on some sketches I had already drawn and I drew my interpretations of the suggested species.
1. Satyr!Percy: I will always approve of goats or goat based characters and Statyr!Percy is such a fine Caprine. For some reason Percy being fanservicey is a trend when it comes to me drawing him, eh...give a character abs why wouldn’t you want to remind everyone he has them? even when said abs are fuzzy
2. Ogre!Arthur: A while ago I decided that if Henrat ever appeared in the Monster au he’d be an ogre. Unfortunately I also decided that one’s species is shared across bloodlines (this will become relevant if I ever draw the kids) so unfortunately Arthur is an ogre by association. But seeing as I’m a huge Zoology nerd I decided to make Ogres basically carnivorous, humanoid hippopotamus’s. Living in swamps and muck, are extremely territorial and aggressive. Arthur is still kind and gentle, but being an ogre he’s even more freakishly huge than before. And also ugly as dirt.Arthur’s transformation is triggered by guilt over him being unable to stop his brother. As well as fear that he and his brother have more in common than he’d like to believe.
3. Phoenix!Mali: I can thank Pandora for partially doing the hard work for me. But I decided to take direct inspiration from Bearded Vultures, because they have dope red feathers and eyes. She is by far the least human out of all the monsters, but all of the transformed characters are still part human, so she’s still kinda human.
4. Tariaksuq!Jane: This actually reminds me a lot of Specimen 8 from Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion (long time followers will know that it’s one of my older fandoms) So I had to work in something similar, hence the dark cloak. And I joked to myself that she now looks like a Sith Lord. Also I don’t know if tariaksuq or Jane are supposed to be ‘fangy’ but in order to emphasize the ‘monster’ aspect I added some small sharpened canines. ‘Cause why not?
And I added a height chart because I like height charts
I’m taking a small break with Ann and want to expand on my drawing. So I decide to draw similar to what did with the Sixtended doodle few months ago, expect with their monster form. I don’t know how many or which ones I will do, but I wanted to start with these two first.
I realized these two have contrasting colour schemes and motifs’ (Cold and heat) and I had to draw them
Jane - @altairtalisman
Mali - @pandora-dusk
Mali saw that within the beast’s frightening exterior Jane was trapped inside still wracked with despair for her failures. The physical and mental drain on her had left her feeling nothing but pain and guilt, guided only by her most primal survival instincts.
But Mali didn’t accept that...
She wasn’t going to let another loved one down, she may still be haunted by the mistakes of her past but she was sure as hell not going to repeat them.
So Mali swooped down and embraced the beast in a warm feathery embrace, the blazing inferno that surrounded her dimming into a gentle warmth. At first the beast, not realizing what was happening brayed and thrashed its head with fear and aggression. But suddenly it remembered...
what it felt like to be loved, the gentle affections of her lover. The Beast stood there, the pain and guilt thawing away like frost under sunlight. The beast remembered who she was, what it felt like to be loved, and the overwhelming yet relieving feeling of forgiveness.
A single tear fell down the beasts cheek, how was it even possible that Mali could still love her despite Jane letting her suffer. Then Mali whispered into her ear
“I was never mad at you...and I don’t care if you’re a monster...I just need you with me now”
It was in that moment Jane realized that it was her guilt and pain that had entrapped her...
