Watch me fail at the other eye, anatomy, and non-derpy faces!
Sometimes, all at once!
Other times, not at all-- because it's not even art!
Cover (as usual) by: justsetto
The art on the new cover is by [pending, trying to remember the toomblr; hold...
I finally got around to buying actual art supplies from the actual art section of something and of course the first thing I do to test the pencil out is Hamsteak
Because I am predictable, perpetually trapped, and pretty much okay with that
So here I am, redefining my headcanons for the trolls once again:

The first thing to note here was that I was an idiot, and this was super slippery spare paper and the pencil was really weird to work with in that regards
So did I do the rational thing and instead decide to grab a better piece of paper to work comfortably on?
No. Next batch of trolls, please.

I like this Nep, she's all feline and mischievous-looking
And I made Kan as much of an absolute dream as I could bc "rouge model with cheekbones that will have you swooning" is forever my appearance headcanon for any Maryam, ever
I'm a little sad to see the side bangs I used to draw for her go, but it didn't fit the hairstyle I drew anymore so que sera sera

The problem I usually come up against when drawing Terezi is making her too similar to Nepeta so my solution is just implying that TZ is pointy as all get out while Nepeta is all lean sleek, muscle
Also Aradia is quickly becoming my favourite to draw
She's just so cute?? With her lil dimples??? Her big, sunny grin?? Literally fuck everyone who made her life miserable I'm so glad she can be happy doing her little death fairy thing for as long as she pleases now, what a goddamn Queen Of Reclaiming Her Own Agency And Taking Happiness By the Horns And Riding It Into The Sunset
anyway, I got markers too so I doodled some gals

And Sayu, who you most definitely do not remember
(I drew her in an OC challenge way waaay back, y'know, when I was still in touch with ppl on this site and committed to updating this book, and since then she has been subject to numerous minor revisions of character, so update: on the sliding scale of character tropes she somehow managed to get herself from dime-a-dozen punk all the way to triple-threat prep who stans Heather Chandler and will someday end up on Broadway)
The pink doesn't layer too well but it doesn't seep through the (admittedly) thick paper of the sketchpad I'm testing them out on, unlike the two blues, which layer a little better
Anyway, here's them:

(with a bit of tgwdlm in the background bc yes, I am still Starkid trash and I stan Alice, a fellow gay theatre kid)
And that's all??
I'm updating this on the laptop bc I can no longer add pictures on my phone so I'll be knocking out chapters more frequently to finally kill this book I suppose lmao
