Here are some finalised drawings of all of the main and supporting characters.
Below the picture, I will list them from the top left to the bottom right.
Cyrus Hinds/The demon- In the first sketch, I made it look more like a 14-year-old boy, more human and with a softer face. In the second sketch, I made it look more creature-like, basically how I described it in my short story. I gave it more elf-like features and a sharper face. It doesn't look like a 14-year-old boy, but that's the point.
Gabriella Pierre- Her original design featured a short afro and a flower in her hair. I wanted to be more creative with her hair and decided to give her four smaller afro puffs. I also love how her face came out. I think she looks quite cute.
Amaya Graham- Her design stayed the same. Amaya is the sweet, harmless-looking, quiet friend. I did very loosely base her off an old friend from my school days. They share large spectacles and the long hair.
Marissa Ramdin- I wanted her to be very pretty with an elegant look to her. She's the effortlessly pretty friend that everyone's a little bit jealous of. I may work on her design a bit more.
Kadiah Toussaint- I'm quite happy with how she turned out, especially her hair. Back in my school days, I used to wear my hair in small twists and I hoped to recreate that style in drawing. I think I did quite well!
Sasha Antoine (pronounced Ant-wine)- Yes, Sasha is our 'mean girl'. I based her design on how I see the current high school girls styling themselves for school. I went for that cute, YK2 look with the baby hairs.
Noah McKenzie- He's a newer character I decided to add as support and a new friend for Gabriella. He's named after Noah from the Bible (I also just think Noah is a really cute name). I wanted him to physically contrast Cyrus. A lot about him is very soft and comforting while Cyrus evokes the opposite.
All characters except Cyrus and Noah are 14 years old. They are all in their 3rd year of secondary/high school (we have 5 years of secondary school in my country)
Cyrus is masquerading as a 14-year-old and Noah is 15 and in his 4th year of secondary/high school.

Daily Doodles- Day 52- 06/06/24
This was just going to be a sketch, but I was chatting on the phone with my friend and just started doodling even more. Her dress is pretty cool!

Daily Doodles- Day 168- 30/09/24
A lazy doodle day. Reminds me of the very simple and very crude sketch I did for day 1.

I think the really insidious part of the whole "I don't need to forgive the people who hurt me" attitude that's so prominant nowadays, is that it perpetuates the cycle of abuse.
Not every person who does bad things has a tragedy fueling their behavior. But a lot of them do. You can be a victim and also an abuser. Those are not mutually exclusive things. In fact, one of the best ways to become an abuser is to take the pain of the injustice you've experienced and to let it fester inside you. And that is what happens if you don't forgive.
And before anyone tries to tell me that you can't forgive someone because that means letting them to continue hurting you. That's not what forgiveness is. Resuming a relationship with someone who hurt you is Reconciling. Forgiveness is when you choose to let go of the anger and the hate and the bitterness and heal. I know this is an honest misunderstanding, but it's a dangerous one.
You don't have to remain a victim in order to forgive. But if you do not forgive you will become the same as your abuser. That's not a risk, but a fact. The cycle of abuse can be broken but you have to choose to do it.
You have to choose to heal. You owe it others and to yourself.

Another one of my girls! I draw them when I don't have any ideas. They're embedded in my muscle memory.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.
Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.
Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.
Just to let you know, if you've replied to a post that I've made and the first few words look and sound like fighting words, I stop reading and proceed to pretend like you never posted.
I REFUSE at my big age to fight on the internet. If you disagree with whatever I posted, that's fine, but it's also not my problem.
I used to fight on the internet when I was younger and it made me a mean, nasty and bitter person (only online, thankfully, but that nastiness stayed in my thoughts)
I'm older now, A LOT wiser (experience wise) and have got no time for internet BS! I came here to post art, read fan fics and occasionally post opinions.
Despite the foolishness that happens around here, I still quite enjoy Tumblr and I'm not letting anything ruin that for me!
