A doodle of Monarch relaxing in his greenhouse
Some art in response to the (now finished) Dream Tournament that was held by @nashdoesstuff.
My boys Monarch and Oneiros were up against Shattered!Dream and Swap!Dream and welp, they didn't even last a single round xD Their opponents were too great and powerful (and handsome!), as expected.
Is Monarch made of butterflies? Why do they always fly around or out of him? Is it more of a metaphor?
No, he isn't xD
Concept-wise, Monarch and his brother Emperor are themed after butterflies and moths, like the monarch butterfly and the emperor moth. They've had a fascination/liking towards these pretty little bugs since their creation.
"Inner Monarch" (aka the uncorrupted version of himself that's still fighting back) never allowed the corruption to wipe away his fondness for butterflies but it did twist into, well, collecting many specimens by sticking them on fancy corkboards for display. To have something frail, innocent, and beautiful be trapped forever, even in death. But, at least he has a greenhouse filled with live monarch butterflies to appease "Inner Monarch"... This is one of the reasons why he is surrounded by them in some of the recent drawings I've doodled.
During our last doodle session that resulted in the "booty appreciation" comics, Chee and I did muse about Monarch being able to (involuntarily) summon butterflies whenever he manages to get flustered or feel good feels, and that we have "Inner Monarch" to thank for that. Buuuut I'm still deciding whether this will be a thing or not so it isn't anything "canon" to Monarch's design as of yet.
As for his brother... After the Entity's corruption (the black goop and negativity that corrupted Nightmare/Emperor) shifted from Emperor to Monarch, the small fracture that still resides within Emperor at times speaks to him in the shape of a moth.
LV 20 (Royaul) Cross was brought up recently in other people's posts and it got me thinking about @stankychee's Knight and if he were LV 20. Nothing canon but just a "what if" scenario because those can be fun! He's already a big boy (bara) so why not stuff some power in that package? xD
I like to think he'd try and hide it from Monarch, if possible. His reasoning would be that Monarch wouldn't want a "servant" who is considered more powerful than him. So, wishing to stay at his lord's side, Knight would keep the high LV suppressed and it is torture because the power writhes, churning through his bones and soul and seeking release. He becomes unfocused, distracted, prone to uncharacteristic outbursts, and falters in his duties, but he remains ever so determined to appease his lord and master.
Yet all the while, Monarch grows suspicious of his bodyguard's missteps and begins to pry, frustrated with the thought that Knight isn't honest with him.
And in the end, it turns out that Monarch would have been fine with it. Impressed even, knowing he has such a powerful and strong creature under his command, one who would do anything for him without question. He'd be considered worthy to stand by Monarch's side and receive his blessing to use all that power in his name.
Soooo just a little "what if" that has been buzzing about in my head today and figured I'd share xD
Have a little art summary of this year with my personal favorite of each month.
I didn't draw all that much this year, heck, doodling was pretty rare. I'm hoping that will change during the next year so here's to more art and more energy to do so!
