...As promised, some sketches of the S:D Birchwood Cast(!!!)
This isway overdue, but I finally got around to compiling them! Most of these drawings are from two years ago, but the bottom two are very recent:
First we have Theo! It took me a looong time to figure out his hairstyle. I'm happy with how it turned out! Theo with curly hair would've been interesting.
Next is Bert! It's fun to think up different outfits for him! Especially since most are black and white.xD Where will he get the money to buy them though...?
And here's Lillian! Her hair also went through several changes throughout development, but her sadness remained. Would she be able to smile again?
Some Older Residents of Birchwood: Mrs. Bowtie, Mr. Pipe, and Ms. Tea Cup! I'm looking forward to introducing them to the story! They are very fun characters.
Finally, a bonus sketch!
After having to set S:D aside for a year, it's been difficult to resume writing. But I really missed this story and these characters! I will keep trying, no matter how long that may take. I hope you enjoyed seeing these little drawings and Happy Summer!!!
These are so awesome!! I especially love how Theo's final design turned out!
I get what you mean. Have a great summer!
WOOOO THANK YOU!!! ^)^ I'm really proud of Theo's final look, and he's actually becoming my go-to character for random sketches/doodles!
He sees an old man seated among the murky depths, eyes closed and face partially covered by a conical hat. Long, white strands of beard stretch out all around the figure: an otherworldly presence somehow kept at ease despite the tempestuous ripples raging above, floating yet not floating. A teapot and worn staff hover around his unmoving body as he remains deep in meditation. The bizarre sight washes away all thoughts of danger, and he instantly forgets about his impending doom.
I know now— I know what to do this was bound to happen and there is no use-there is no use-there is no use— watch him slip watch him fall there is no use let him fall LET HIM FALL—
He looks on as the figure raises his head, the latter’s gentle, ancient eyes meeting his naïve, sensitive orbs. Signs of old age is all over the man’s withered face, where numerous wrinkles have overtaken his once youthful countenance. A slow, peaceful aura radiates from him and him only, calming the currents of the lake, calming his turbulent, hopeless soul, and he is left astonished and humbled.
He isn’t breathing, but time suddenly slows. His drawn out breath gives away little by little, yet he manages to hold on. Faith returns to his heart, and he wills himself to be strong. He can, he must, hold on. Help will arrive soon…and he will be safe. Even as his vision starts to darken and blur, he maintains this belief and keeps going. The figure in the water is seemingly giving him a sign of approval as he smiles and drinks down a cup of tea in salutation. How absurd! …Yet such is hope and its miraculous nature, and he is no longer afraid.
Let him fall…
When his eyes finally give away, his mind, too, begins to fade. The exhaustion has finally caught up to him, and his last breath, long as it has been, is at its final moments. It is then he feels a pair of hands grab hold of his submerged body and pull him toward the surface. It is then, with his body weakened and mind spent, the stranger fully loses his consciousness as he breaks through the water and inhales the Birchwood air once more, alive.
This was bound to happen.
So let it be.
~~~~ And there we have it---chapter 4! Time to write moar.
Wow! Just as a writer, the way you formatted this felt so unconventional to what I'm accustomed to, but awesome! The way you used spacing to build tension and suspense just- *chef's kiss* Who's Akira? Is his name not really Bert? Is Theo doing alright?

Why thank you! Wow, thank you for reading through all of this. It's been a hot minute since I last posted stuff for this story.

You're very welcome! Naworries, LMB stories tend to take a back seat when the author starts winning at life.
