Looking forward to another year of artfight!
Thank you once again to @jadethest0ne for these amazing full body refs! i cannot thank you enough they look amazing
Was commissioned to do some more character outfit variations for @lunawoona11‘s TMNT: Unity! Always a pleasure to work on this series!
My Commission Sheet
I am absolutely ecstatic to announce my Involvement in the Sidetracked Submas AU zine project as a writer! Hosted and Organized by the amazing @fraycreations and @ingo-ingoing-ingone and Formatted by @cardinal-crossing Be sure to check it out!
I would eat up as much as you’re willing to share about the Rose Twins, honestly. I’ve been a bit obsessed with the Lindworm story since seeing the OSP video on it, and another comic by someone (and I also love that Edel is a girl like the white rose was meant to give the Queen).
Thank you so much! the story is still in the early development stage but i'd be more than happy to share more(And i know what you mean, the OSP video is what inspired me to create the rose twins)
before i go on another tangent. The Rose twins now have Profiles on toyhouse! which goes into detail about their personalities and backstories.
With that out of the way. Lets get into the (disjointed) lore.
in the setting of rose twins every landmass(Island, Continent, islet,etc) has a soul, known as an earth spirit, with the earth spirit of the Island Decerith sits on being called Eversyl.In some cases nations will be named after the Earth spirit of the landmass on which they stand, though not always especially in the cases of nations that span across multiple islands and thus multiple earth spirits. Though normally incorporeal, it is has been said that earth spirits will take form in times of great crisis.
Legend tells of the lost Continent and the mageocracy of Ivapherus that once stood there alongside many other countries. They speak of how the high mage council sought to harness the power of their earth spirit for their own by trapping it, but instead ended up destroying it causing the entire continent to sink into the sea.
Magic in this setting in a volatile force, though anyone has the potential to wield it it is extremely rare to find someone who will take the risk to do so and even rarer to find someone who succeeds. Magic is extremely difficult to control and requires near perfect execution and concentration and failing in either can result in dire consequences, inflicting curses on the caster and often the surrounding area, a wound that never heals.The curse that affects both of the rose twins and their mother was a result of the queen botching up a magic ritual by eating both roses instead of just one,and comparatively to how other curses in the past have gone, they were relatively lucky. People Like Zeris Firamain are known as Mage scholars, they study the history and mechanisms of magic but do not dare attempt actually casting a spell(Considering that wielding magic is the equivalent of wielding a nuclear bomb)
Lindworms are rare creatures, though documentation of their existence is substantial enough that only a few still think of them as being mythical, much about them remains a mystery even to the most learned of scholars.(To the point Edelweiss has never even seen another Lindworm)
The Hardships and Tragedies brought on by the perpetual winter have led to desperate measures being taken by Decerith's citizens in order to survive. This includes some resorting to banditry just to be able to put food on the table and even some who poach rare creatures (Like Lindworms) to sell their sought after parts.
The losses caused by the perpetual winter and the kingdom being ill-prepared to deal with it's sudden appearance have also bred some resentment for the royal family, leading to the formation of groups acting out on this blame, the most notorious and prolific of these being Wulfrost.Wulfrost seeks to assassinate the crown prince in order to deprive the queen and king of their only child, just as so many of them have lost loved ones to the winter(And they very nearly succeeded when Rowan was younger)
That's all i'll be able to share for now without diving into spoiler territory. But hopefully sometime in the future i'll be able to share some writing snippets. Thank you again for the ask anon!
Rose Twins fairy tale? It’s based off the Lindworm myth right? How different is it from the source??
Yes! My rose twins story is loosely based on the Prince Lindworm story. This is going to be a long post so strap yourselves in When I originally came across the Fairytale I found myself interested in the story of the twins born of magic with one cursed to be a Lindworm, and I was disappointed by the fact the second human twin pretty much disappears from the story after the bride plotline begins(Which i found to be less interesting in comparison) So the Rose twins story basically takes the origin story from the fairytale(the Queen of a kingdom meeting a mysterious old woman who tells her to eat one of two roses in order to have a child, but the queen ends up eating both causing the first born child to be born a lindworm) and then makes up a different story with it
As the Name implies the Rose twins story focuses on the bond that forms between the titular characters as they meet for the first time at age 15, having been unaware of the others existence. I also wanted to incorporate the theme I chose to take away from the original Lindworm fairytale, seeing someones layers peeled back, someone at their lowest or most vulnerable, and showing them kindness and understanding.
The older Lindworm twin, Edelweiss, has spent most of her life alone after her original guardian; A mage scholar named Zeris Firamain, mysteriously vanished before she reached double digits.Overtime and fruitless search after fruitless search for somewhere to belong, only to be rejected time and time again, Edel resigned herself to becoming somewhat of a local menace of a town named Vericksvale and scaring off anyone that tries to pass through her cave.Playing tricks on others being the closest she feels she can get to other people with the cards she's been dealt. As a young Lindworm, Edel can summon translucent spectral wings and Shrink in size, becoming as small as a ball python.(She also cries Rose water)
The Younger Human twin, Rowan, has been raised as the crown prince of the kingdom of Decerith and has spent most of his life lonely among other people.When he was younger he survived an assassination attempt that left many others dead, leaving him with Severe survivor's guilt.The Pedestal he has been placed on leaves him feeling that who he really is can never measure up to those expectations and that if people actually got to know him,they would only be disappointed, So he has never let anyone get close enough. Despite what everyone else believes, he might not have been as untouched by the rose curse as it seems, something he has gone to great lengths to hide for as long as he can remember.
Thank you so much for this ask anon! I had a great time answering it
I also may or may not have gone on a brief worldbuilding tangent about Decerith underneath the cut
The story takes place in the island kingdom of Decerith, which for the last twenty years has been stuck in a perpetual winter with no known cause, leaving the kingdom in a dire state(with countless people dying on a large scale in the early days of widespread famine and cold when the kingdom was caught off guard by a winter that didnt end, and more dying in the years that followed) and completely reliant on outside trade to survive. Kept barely afloat by their own export of Elyrium, a rare and valuable metal found only in Decirith used in the construction of many a technological marvel
including the Royal TransHerdaeick Railway, a Freight line that runs across the Herdaeick sea and has served as the only way in and out of Decerith for the last 20 years due to the conditions becoming too dangerous for tradition sea transportation.Only its Small crew are able to leave and Enter Decerith(and the desperate people who give up their lifesavings and risk their lives for a one way ticket out, forced to face the hostile elements in train cars not built for passengers, just for the chance of a better future. Members of the train crew who are found involved in bringing people out of Decerith risk severe consequences)
Due it's importance to Decerith's future and how coveted a position in the crew is, the selection process is known to be very cutthroat, and its candidates are trained in combat due to risk the cargo faces from desperate thieves.The TransHerdaeick Line had been intended to be the First of Many Oceanic Railways when it finished completion, with Passenger cars being in the works when the Perpetual winter dashed all these plans and Left the Freight line as the only one of its kind.
I'll leave it there for now. if any of you are interested in hearing about more aspects of the setting(Lindworms, Magic, Earth spirits and the group known as Wulfrost) Be sure to let me know!
