Finally new art and some explanations!
[Image Description: An image of a scanned page of my sketchbook with three pencil sketch scenes on it. The one on the top of the page is a drawing of a short man with short fluffy hair and glasses hugging a much taller man with close cut short hair, a square face, and a rather shocked expression on his face. The shorter man is wearing a hoodie and is smiling, seeming very happy to see the taller man, who is wearing a suit and is making no move to hug the shorter boy back, seeming to be extremely baffled as to what is happening. In the bottom left hand corner is a drawing of the same two people sitting down and talking. The shorter man is hugging his knees to his chest and looks very sad. You can see that he is wearing jeans and boots now. The taller man has one elbow on his knee, while the other arm is sitting limply on his leg on the ground. He has an unreadable expression on his face that is mostly neutral. Finally, there is a third sketch scene on the right side of the page that is sideways. It is again of the same two men, only the taller one is holding the shorter one's hand. The taller one is staring straight ahead and looks very out of it. The shorter one looks equally out of it, smiling and staring blankly at the taller one's hand and his. End of Image Description.]
This is some art of the characters Depression and Theo. Depression isn't my character, he's my friend's, but him and Theo had some interactions and they were pretty adorable so I did some doodles of the two. There'll be more info on who Theo is and where he's from later on in this post.
[Image Description: A scanned image of a sketchbook page with a drawn scene that takes up a lot of the page. The drawing is of a large wooden box car on a train with the door open and two people sitting inside as it appears to be moving along. There are crates in the box car behind the two people. The two people in the box car are sitting with their legs dangling over the edge of the car and do not seem to be all there mentally. The one on the right is an androgynous looking person with a mop of chin length curly brown hair with a white streak flopping over their right eye. They have tan skin with freckles and heterochromatic eyes: the right dark brown and the left grey. They are wearing a short-sleeved green shirt, blue jeans, and bright blue sneakers. There is a long chain looped twice around their neck, the thing hanging on the chain hidden under the shirt but looking like a circle from the clothing folds. You cannot see their hands because the other person's legs are blocking the view of the hands, but they are wearing a pair of really long black gloves that go almost all the way up their arms, stopping just below the sleeve of their t-shirt. The person is staring down into oblivion, their hair blowing a little in the wind. The other person in the train car looks eerily similar to the first one, with a similar skin tone, face shape, and eye shape. This person has grey eyes, however, and straight brown hair that goes halfway down their back and is moving around in the wind. The grey eyed person is wearing a red t-shirt under a blue and black flannel, grey jeans, and brown sneakers. They are also staring off into space, but a little more upwards than their feet.

Cykadian Chronicles content? In this economy? More likely than you'd think! These are the space twins, Will and Silver. They're having a rough time and riding on a box car on a train. Probably running away from their problems if we're being honest. I redrew someone else's art i found on pinterest and inserted my own characters into it. Link to the pin goes here because i am not sure how to do an image search thingie to find the artist.
[Image Description: An image of a scanned drawing in a sketchbook. The drawing is of a feminine winged person in black robes kneeling and looking at a small green turtle in a bowler hat. The winged person has dark skin, purple eyes, and long wavy purple hair tied into a ponytail that is blowing in the wind. Their large black wings are stretched out behind them, and they are leaning on a long black staff-like thing you cannot see the top of. The winged person is smiling serenely. End of Image Description.]
[Image Description: An image of a scanned sketchbook page with a drawing on it. The drawing is of a feminine person with large black wings, dark skin, purple eyes, and long wavy purple hair tied into a ponytail that seems to be blowing in the wind. The person is dressed in all black, with a short-sleeved black crop top, ripped black jeans, and black sneakers. The person is holding a large scythe in their left hand (from viewer pov). The person is smiling serenely. End of image description.]
Aaaaand here we have two pictures of Death, one that you've already seen (but not coloured in so!!!) and a new one that includes the whole scythe. Death is a cool person. Entity. Eldritch abomination. IDK what you'd call them, but they're Death, they have a scythe, and they really like the colour purple.
[Image Description: An image of a scanned sketchbook page drawing. The drawing is of five people on a blank white background. It consists of one person holding a knife trying to stab another person, who is sitting on the ground looking terrified. Three other people are trying to hold the knife-wielder back. The person about to be stabbed is a short man with fluffy teal hair, clear glasses, dark skin, and brown eyes. He is wearing a black hoodie, black boots, and dark green cargo pants. His arms are up to protect himself. The person holding the knife is a blond haired man with orange eyes and hair that flops in his face a bit. He is wearing a white button down shirt, a grey waistcoat, black dress pants, and brown shoes. He has a murderous grin on his face as he is holding the knife a little above his head and is about ready to bring it down. A horned black humanoid being is on the floor, holding on tightly to the knife-wielder's ankle in a desperate attempt to stop him. Holding onto the blond's arm are two adults. One is an old woman, with dark skin, brown eyes, and grey curly hair pulled into a high bun. She is wearing stereotypical old lady glasses, and is wearing a brown sweater and jeans. The other person is much younger and looks to be the same age as the two other men in the drawings. Vo has olive skin with white patches on veir face, neck, and arms. The person has long brown hair, a blue t-shirt under a red and black flannel, grey ripped jeans, and blue sneakers. The older person looks terrified, with their mouth open in a scream. The younger one looks furious. The horned being on the floor does not have much of a face to give an expression. End of Image Description.]
This is a Draw the Squad. It's not that good and definitely not canon, but I kinda like it anyway.
[Image Description: An image of a corner of a scanned sketchbook page. It is primarily full of two sketched images. One is a small doodle of a cartoon turtle wearing a bowler hat. The second is a sketched doodle of two people holding hands. One is a taller teenager with long hair, a t-shirt under a flannel, and a small smile on veir face. They are looking down at the other person, who is shorter. The other person is a shorter man with glasses and short fluffy hair. They are wearing a hoodie that says 'Avendish College', and are smiling up at the taller person. Both people are holding hands, and there are speech tags attached to each. the one coming from the taller one that says "I love you, Theodorus Gardener." The other one says "I love you too, Silence Strange." End of Image Description.]
[Image Description: an image of a scanned part of the sketchbook page. The page has three small sketched scenes of the same two people. The one on the very bottom of the page is of a man with short fluffy hair, glasses, and wearing a hoodie. The boy is grinning and is reaching one hand up to touch the strange, cloudy shadow creature that is snuggling up against him. The shadow creature has a small cartoonish smiley face on it, and the tail of it is curled near the man's hand on his chest. The second doodle on the right is of a tall person with long hair, dark eyes, and a flannel shirt. They are hugging a shorter person, the man from the previous image. His face is pressed into the taller one's chest, as the taller one looks concerned. The final sketch near the top left of the page is of the same two people, hugging again. The taller one is resting their head on top of the shoulder and smiling affectionately down at the shorter one. The shorter one is looking up at the taller one and smiling back. End of Image Description.]
Silence and Theo being cute. They're not a ship, please don't ship them. They're friends.
Anywho. I recently started a (bunch of) new writing projects, and most of this is 'fanart' of that. It's a story about a boy named Theo Rivera [formerly it was Gardener. i have updated it here for clarity.] (my little cinnabean <3) who dies and becomes a ghost. With the help of several morally shady friends who are mostly aro, he finds out that he was murdered by his best friend and has to deal with the aftermath. It's a fun (if extremely dark) little story and a refreshing break from all of the Synth/Astraforia stuff. To be perfectly honest, it was wearing me out and I like this better.
I wish you all of the luck in the stars! Reynie/Theta/TAS/etc.
