Just imagine if something happened and that whole body swap thing actually happened - but it's Sebastian and Undertaker. While Undertaker would take the opportunity to do....whatever it is he's planning, but he also has a blast just doing his best to ruin Sebastian's reputation. He'd purposely mess up everything and laugh wildly whenever he does. Of course, other than Ciel, no one would be allowed to know about the switch.

UT just destroys whatever shreds of Sebastian’s reputation he has left. Like, he throws a pie at Frances’ face. RIP SEBASTIAN. But the thing is nobody thinks this behavior is strange for Sebastian- they don’t even question it. They’re just like, “yeah, Sebastian would do that.”

Meanwhile, Sebastian tries to figure out UT’s deep dark secrets, but just ends up poking himself with the death scythe at least 3 times while discovering nothing.

Last movie I watched: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Last song I listened to: Onuka feat. NAONI Orchestra -- Megamix (Interval act from this year’s Eurovision Song Contest)

Last book I read: Seriously, while I love reading I can’t remember the last book I read just for fun. Because of exams I always had to read something else...

Last thing I ate: Spaghetti with tomato + tuna sauce

Where I would want to time travel: Hmm, a few years ago I was in Egypt and I was fascinated by the great architecture of the temples or the pyramids. I would love to see how it looked back then in all its glory so maybe I’d choose Ancient Egypt.

Fictional character I would hang out with for a day: Soma, to give him a hug and be there for him, especially now... ;_;

If I could be anywhere right now, where would I be: I’d like to do some relaxing holiday now that exams are over, so maybe at a lonely beach

Where do you find the game?

I have followed these instructions how to get it: http://yume100prince.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_Install

Game is in Japanese, so I am using whatever instructions I have found (there are couple of wikis and some instructions on tumblr) and my poor knowledge of Japanese to play it.

In response to this headcanon made by @shinigami-mistress​‘ evil twin:

@your-lovers-and-drifters​ said: I actually love this headcanon/idea so much. Like for real, this is everything I want from a psychological thriller laced with murder, betrayal, greed, sacrifice, and two brothers - stained by the blood of those they've killed and discarded - facing each other in the ultimate chess game of skill, deception, and unrestrained ruthlessness.

I hope we get something similar! This would make the twin plot point so much more worthwhile! I’m 99% on board with Real!Ciel as an ice cold villain with all the charm of his father, and 100% on board with him as the real murderer. It’s so dramatic and juicy that it’s the exact kind of scenario Real!Ciel would orchestrate!

@into--the--abyss​ said: I've been hoping for this so much. If realCiel didn't murder his parents and burn the Manor down, I'm done.

YES. As long as he dies an unrepentant jerk, then he will die a hero in my eyes ;)

Color Tutorial

@shinigami-mistress As promised, here’s a reference of my coloring process! Disclaimer: I’m not particularly great at it myself but over time, I’ve discovered some tips that worked well haha

I’ll just show you the skin process here (usually, I do the skin first, then the clothes, hair, etc.)- I basically follow the same steps for clothes, etc. too. 

1. We have our solid color

2. Fill in the shadows. Make it a color significantly darker than the skin midtone, but still similar enough to be on the same body. I used to go overboard with shading, but now I’ve realized it looks better if we shade with “weight.” Some shadows will be larger than others, and there should be some distance between the shadow and the thing making the shadow (Ex. fingers, clothing)

3. I don’t do this all the time, but at the moment, I really like to lol. Pick an even darker (but still similar) color and add shadow to the shadow. This is a lot more subtle than the last shadow, but it helps add depth to areas (like the collarbone and knuckles, areas closer to his clothes, etc.). It also helps elaborate certain shadows (like the ones his hair casts, the strip of cloth casts, etc.). I also used it to add a “scrunch” on the nose.

Note: I would’ve used it on his eyelids too, but I didn’t for this pic because I was going to cover it up with eyeliner anyway.

4. This character has a red patch on his head so I filled that in later. Same process as above (midtone first), but I can use the shadows from previous layers to map the shadows on this patch.

5. Again, used a significantly darker color to do my shadows. Didn’t use a second shadow for this because I felt like one was enough. 

6. Added the “eyeliner.” Made sure to make it darker under the brows and eyes. 

7. The very last thing I did was add more shadow to the “eyeliner,” color in the mouth, put a small highlight in the eyes (in a layer above the lineart), and use a blending tool (in Photoshop, a small blur can substitute) to really lightly smooth the shadows everywhere. 

Extra Notes: I drew the scars after I finished everything else, but didn’t give them the 2-shadow treatment. My initial coloring was all over the place so I had to use the eraser and constantly go back to make them the shape I wanted. If you’re using photoshop, I’d suggest using a “hard” brush instead of a “soft” one.

EDIT: Looking back, I felt that the character’s skin tone (tan in this case) didn’t completely match the original reference images, so I edited them in PS  (very small hue/saturation changes) to match it

There are lots of different ways to color and this is just the way I’m doing it! You don’t have to stick to my method, of course. I hope this helped!

Sebastian needs a proper dog name. From this point on, he shall be known as Snoopy.

“What is your name?”

“Uh, Brown… Charles Brown.”

And then Charlie Brown names him Snoopy.
