some very late fanart of mine. i’ve been wanting to draw espada since forever and i thought that its one-year anniversary was best to take a crack at it. i love espa i love your story and i’m extremely excited for the arc i finale :)
[ID. (1) A drawing of Espa, colored with lively strokes of markers. There are two little stars doodled over their shoulders, and its cape's neck is wide around them, showing their unders-shirt. Its brows are slightly furrowed. (2) A zoom-out of the drawing, with "Mar 14." written at the bottom. End ID.]

for the ask game: what medium do you use the most and what pieces are your favourite??
Hi!
The medium i use the most is definitely digital art, specifically Clip Studio Paint!
Other than that, just plain paper :) whether its drawing in sketchbooks or making papercrafts, i love using paper! i have a huge collection of paper, i should do more paper stuff soon...
As for my fav pieces, that's a hard one! uuummm. Here are my top 5, some of these have recency bias though (cough cough the superman ones)
i'll gush about my own art in the tags. thank you so much for the ask!
yaaaayyyy ask game ^_^ i was gonna do all tom here but i could not pass up the opportunity for arthur
for arthur —
What’s a simple daily activity / motion that they mess up often?
If they’re scared, who do they want comfort from? Does this answer change depending on the type of fear?
What belief / moral / personality trait do they stand by that you (mun) personally don’t agree with?
also tom —
What’s the lie your character says most often?
hehehe i wanted to talk about arthur so :D
hmmm. this is a hard one :0 i think... i think he's terrible at feeding himself. like he hasn't made a proper meal for himself in so long he just is sort of always depressed and doesn't think he deserves it... and also just doesn't want to cook so he lives off salads and oven pizza etc and it's like. my man. you need to practice what you preach. but he won't listen u_u thankfully gabriel is an amazing cook. i think gabriel had a heart attack when he first saw the contents of arthur's fridge it was that bad
>:) honestly? no one. he doesn't go to people. he never really has been one to talk abt his fears. if it would have been anyone it'd be his younger brother but they don't talk much now. in the early stages of knowing k i think arthur would like cold call his parents or brother or friends at crazy times just to hear their voice and like. have them talk and/or fuss so that his heart rate would go down. but he realised that might put them in danger so he doesn't anymore
i think... personality trait wise he's kind of closed off and more of a doer than an emotive sort of doctor. he's gentle but clinical and no one ever comes away from him thinking oh he was so nice! disagree is harsh and i know this has evolved somewhat as a coping mechanism so he can detach his job from his life (even in his normal work) but he was also always like this so i just think ah arthur :/ c'mon. also i think he's not a great teacher to med students or more junior doctors he just kinda ignores them or tells them to find someone else (bc he doesnt want to get attached.. but also. man. be nicer.)
and tom x)
this one is easy. "i'm fine" or "It's fine." specifically those. in my mind he's like #1 transgender advocate so this doesn't apply for that BUT. he says this so often when he's had a nightmare or having a bad day or encountered an inconvenience etc... he tells calyx the truth though almost always. not so much right now but he used to have no secrets with them :') bar one
👊🏽 Which of your ocs is most likely to step into a bar fight they have nothing to do with?
Eldwin, 100%. He does it for fun, he likes fighting people, it makes him feel good whether he wins or loses. It's not about winning, it's about feeling something.
🤫 Which of your ocs is most likely to spread rumors?
Hmm. Sometimes it might be good for the syndicate to let some rumours spread, if they want to more subtly bring people down. They do have proof to back those up - even if it's fabricated.
So that's one of Eldwin's things, too, though not out of enjoyment or maliciousness, though I can't say he doesn't enjoy causing people distress. Illusion magic helps, change his voice, look like someone else. Hell, maybe he can make some rumours true.
if it isn’t already on the catalogue, i nominate @faultsandfractures buried depths!! it’s currently unfinished and the main character zachary is taken and kidnapped to be trained as a weapon n_n from what i’ve seen there’s also a few other living weapons kept at the same facility as him. highly recommend
what does Arthur look like. also how old is he. also Arthur facts please 🙏🙏 (<- I’m his number one fan)
omggg <3 wait this is so cool i dont think we have any big arthur fans sjhdkj. honestly i do not have a solid appearance for him 0_0 its something liek this though. i think.
(pinterest / pinterest / picrew)
he's very average (SORRY). idk why i just associate him with forest green but i do :) his hair isn't grey (though he is definitely going grey prematurely) its just more blond than the picrew had options for.
he's an average human guy and has no mental disorders. 😒 boring... he honestly was a bit insufferable for the first 20 years of life (he's like 25 now? 26? rosie for reference is more like 29 or 30) and then met k and became.... a little less insufferable. bc he got pathetic.
he has a younger brother who was born with close to prodigy level magic abilities (though not at elene and ada's level, but it was a big deal because the parents were not magically oriented so it was a surprise)! i cant think of a name rn but. he's also taller. and like . more charismatic and came out first. (trans guy + bisexual. cool guy)
he was always pissed off that his parents were so excited abt the magic achievements meanwhile he was getting straight A*'s and they were just like ok yay :) and so he swore off magic and refused to go to a med school that offered any magic related courses. (because some offer adjacent magic healing ones etc its not built into every degree) (i've thought this through i promise) like its funny he was skeptic levels of refusal to trust in magic and his brother was out there transmuting rocks into a family fortune. (which is illegal but thats besides the point) and then he met k and ...... i havent thought that far ahead. something happens and he trusts magic even less. and he gets a paranoid disorder or something
+ he's gay :) his boyfriend's name is gabriel <3 i think gabe is likeeee. angel ancestry. not as close as amethyst and maybe not angel exactly. but i associate him w suns and he is a paladin type character so quite magical. teaches arthur that it can b good actually ..
he's known k for 3 years and met gabriel recently .. last six months? something like that. gabriel doesn't know about k but will find out. :)
would there ever be a possibility of arthur existing in the enca universe n_n
ooooooh. hm i had never thought about that... in enca k doesn't really reach for anyone else and just pours all her time and energy into conditioning and controlling calyx. i guess in avo she has arthur before them so it'd probably be a similar story to that where she just kidnaps a medic to have to deal with her messes
perhaps he could show up as a regular doctor who they see at some point? bc they had to have seen someone and k would want to have control over who... i don't reeeally plan on writing a lot more enca but there was a little thing i was working on where he might fit :0 we'll see ^_^
What would Espa’s favorite TV show/anime/movie character be??
(right back at me omg)
ACTUALLY! I spent the entire time from when you sent this in yesterday to now and talked about it with my brother while riding to school and with my friend after class dfghj because thats a question huh
What would espa's favorite show be
(I have no idea for characters. Shakes espa. Hey what do you say.)
The first ones I thought of were my favorite anime. Ofc. I ruled out HxH (i just don't think they'd care much about it?? not sure why) and Re:Zero (<- :<) because, tbh, I think it's a little too heavy for her. The suffering and dying and blood and trauma hits a little too close to home. Would be a stressful experience
In that note, I don't think they'd be able to enjoy anything that has a lot of violence and gore for similar reasons. But (and i'm giving myself a pass to project a lil here ☝) i have the feeling that Espa would enjoy some more adventurous shounen. The adrenaline and highs and lows of a dramatic story while being safe and sound at home, for once, would probably be entertaining. I also think it'd end up liking those chill slice-of-life, too. The thing is that i dont like slice of life that much myself lmao so I can't think of a specific show she'd like. Not romance, I think. Maybe it's the aromanticism i don't think espa would be particularly drawn to romance-focused stories
Then again. For some reason I also get the impression that it'd like isekai as a genre? Which sucks because there is barely a good example for her to like. I don't think they'd like Konosuba, it's a bit... weird to them? But maybe Tensura (that slime one with rimuru) would be a good pick. It's been a while since I watched it though, so I'm not sure. I think that Espa is a little more drawn to more fantastical settings like these than uh. School-life kinda things. Because those sort of rely on the feeling of relatability to get the ball going I feel? The story doesn't ride on that ofc but i think it could be an important element. Schools are not familiar environments to Espa at all. Again, I'm not sure because I haven't given much thought to this particular aspect (they can probably relate to some aspects of living with a lot of peers their age and training and evaluations and bonding with colleages and shit, plus a story doesn't need to be relatable to be good in the first place, does it) But i still think that a setting where your viewer is not expected to know a lot of things beforehand might be a bit more comfortable? Though it's not like espa doesn't know anything. Unsure. But that's why i'd pick the isekai genre. I think settings like that one in trigun or made in abyss would be pretty fun to her. I don't think they would like made in abyss though.
As I was talking to a friend, he was trying to help me think and eventually asked me wether they'd like more of a chill daily-life kind of deal, or a chill and light adventure. The latter actually sounds very fitting to me. It's less gruesome than your, say, chainsaw man (which in spite of everything i also think espa would like, someday. im not sure how but take it as my hc) and it's still got some pretty interesting highs and lows and twists and it's. well. Exciting. The right adventure could probably get them pretty hooked.
So. After some careful evaluation and outsider input I reached the conclusion that Espa would likely be a fan of One Piece
