the prince has begun practicing curtseying in the mirror. which could mean nothing.

[heydocverdant]

we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,

[illmoraineakoi]

I love the insinuation that the second the princess realized she was a girl and thus actually a princess, the dragon was there. That thing wasted no time. It heard "princess" and was like "I need no further invitation, here I come."

Gender affirmed by Dragon. Amazing.

New Into the Inkwell pages just dropped! Huge thanks always to @celebi9 and @lizzybeanbutt who are collabing this chapter!

Read this whole Doctor Who comic from the very start here.

[the-gryptid]

I was reading @modmad"s Dr. Who comic Into the Inkwell, and I was immediately grabbed by the throat by the art bug to redraw this panel because I love it so muchhh he looks so pissed off and I want to see him bring hell down upon those executives or whoever it is screwing over all those artists. It's extremely cathartic to me.

Anywho, I genuinely think this is the best Lux I have ever drawn. I've been struggling with getting certain aspects of him to look right when I've previously drawn him, mainly with proportions or how to shape certain parts of him. I really like the bigger hat, I think it fits him better than what I was previously doing whenever I drew him. I also ended up making the bowtie way bigger than it probably has any business being, but I really like the look of it paired with the hat (Also I think this is the best bow I've ever drawn too lol). I tried my best with the hands, however that's still an aspect I struggle with a lot with any character. I think they look a bit too stiff here, but eh, I'll keep working on it. I should do more redraws of stuff, this actually really helped me out with some issues with anatomy and posing I was struggling with, and it taught me a lot. I think it'd be a good exercise to get me out of the art slump I'm currently in too. I'll probably also experiment around with how I draw Lux some more, hopefully if I do I remember to post it.

The final thing I'll say here (Cause I know I can drone on and on in these descriptions) is to PLEASE go read this comic!!! Modmad is super talented and an excellent storyteller, it's genuinely such an amazing experience reading any of their comics. And I have them to thank for getting me into Dr. Who in the first place, since I originally found them through Great God Grove and then this thing appeared. I was so happy when they started this series because I was desperate for more Lux content since we only got one episode with the character. And they portray all of the characters incredibly well, it feels like all of it could be actual episodes of the show. Just go read it, you won't regret it.

That's enough outta me, I hope you enjoy the art :)

I'm so sorry I had a random thought I just had to share 😭.

If Balan is a Moth, Lance as a butterfly? Similar, but different.. Just a random idea spare me..

Or don't, your proactive....

Lol, no worries, you're spared! XD And surprisingly you're not the only one who mentioned about Lance as a butterfly! ^^

Here are some doodles because I really REALLY like that idea! 👀

I'd think that in this case his "wings" are a new addition to his body as a Lance, much like his tendrils.

They're functional but it's not like he needs them, and he'd probably use them solely for gliding around if he's feeling lazy.

Here's another one where I focused on the wings a little more:

I gave them softer colors this time, and I think it came out ok!

His wing design is based off of the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing! :D

The butterfly picture is under the cut:

Every moment was an adventure...

5 years old huh? It's funny because it doesn't even feel like it's been that long! Time sure flies.

Was gonna do something different, but it only felt right to draw all the Balan Wonderworld guests! Especially since I've never drawn most of them before! ^^;

I've been absolutely LOVING everyone's Balanniversary posts! This game means so much to me, and it's been my biggest comfort especially at my lowest points. It's so amazing seeing all the love it's been getting! This fandom is so, SO lovely! You all really are the best!!! ;v; 💖💕❤️

Happy Anniversary/ Birthday Balan Wonderworld!!!

[the-gryptid]

YYESS I FINISHED IT IN TIMEEE

Happy anniversary to this awesome game! Honestly I really have enjoyed being a part of this fandom here on Tumblr, and wanted to make something a lot bigger to celebrate the release date of the game! I'm a little rusty with doing anything related to buildings and backgrounds, but I think the Theatre entrance turned out well! Apologies if some of the colors may seem off though, the only thing I had to work with were some screenshots of one of the opening cutscenes of the game. This isn't the last thing I'll do for Wondermonth, and I also have some other Balan Wonderworld projects that may not be finished until after this month is over as well, so more to come I guess! I love this game, it's become a big source of comfort for me so I hope I did it justice with this drawing. I hope you enjoy it :3

(Also I wanted to add that as I was writing this post I noticed that I was missing a few details like the markings on Lance's tentacles and had to go back and add them lol)

[chuwush]

Playing with his expressions a little ig.

He is stupid.

[balans-wife]

Balan just ass hanging out the firetruck window while a kid is in a burning building is just a chaotically funny image.

[chuwush]

Was Balan created full of sass? Or did he devlop all that sass?

Asking the real questions fr fr.
