a moodboard for @quilloftheclouds story Two Witches Woven just because I’ve been thinking about it a lot!
Aww, thank you so much Katie! And you’ve been thinking of it? I’VE not even been thinking of it (procrastination) XD
This is a wonderful moodboard the really captured the vibes of it! Now I’m inspired to work on it again, thank you so much ya lovely. <3
@quilloftheclouds Here’s Phoenix for you! I think I went a little overboard on the drawing - it was supposed to be a sketch, right? I didn’t feel right not coloring her, haha.
(Also, sorry if her skin tone is too off - I realized after I finished that her skin has a more pink undertone than the yellowish one I gave her… ^^;)
MATE I ONLY DID A SKETCH!! YOU WENT OVERBOARD AHHH
But I love her!! Her colours are definitely important to her character, though, so I can completely understand you wanting to finish the picture. <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH~
My favourite of the ghost puncher crew, it’s Gideon for @akiwitch! I just. Really love this bean. And I barely know anything about him aside from he has favourite vibes. <3 Hope you enjoy!
Aaa it’s the boy thank you!
I drew Dione! You had me at guilty green bean~
OH MY GOODNESS!! LOOK AT HER!!! SHE LOOKS AMAZING IN YOUR STYLE, I LOVE~ I love the little green details and how you drew the eyes, ahhh <3 Thanks for trading with me!
a lovely captain vũ xuân for an art trade with the lovely @quilloftheclouds!!
i hope i captured her energy!! she was very fun to draw, and i love their hat!
IT’S A NERD!! You did an awesome job!! Honestly her smug airs and the hat makes her one of my favourites to draw, too. <3 Thank you so much for the sketch, ya lovely~
Tell me why I always pick the intricate character?!
Here goes nothing, I said, as I went and picked this darling. @quilloftheclouds Honestly, I had to go with Dione. The design, the facial expression, the immaculate vibes. How could I resist. Apologies to this abysmal lighting, had to turn flash on for it to look good. Also, that outfit was so tricky, but hoo boy, it was worth it.
WWHHHOAOA!! You did WONDERFULLY! You captured her expression and formality beautifully!! And to be honest, quite a few of my character designs fall under the more intricate--little details are fun for me, I suppose! You did fantastic replicating her design in your style. <3
I’ll be getting yours done shortly!
Captain Xuan for an art swap with @quilloftheclouds ! I regret not having any colored pencils to get all the bright colors in their outfit because their character design is SO cool. I hope you like it!
KKKNNNHHHH YOU DID A NEAR FULL BODY I ONLY DID A HEADSHOT AIGHT
LOOKIT THE POSE!! I LOVE!! She’s got that classic Xuân smirk and suave and it is SO FITTING. Wonderful work, my friend, and thank you for the trade!!
One Siren’s Soul OC Playlist: Captain Vũ Thọ Xuân- The captain of the Rồng Naga, the Dragon among Sirens, the half-sister with half-magic, the exiled outlier of lost years and lost memories and lost life–and the guardian of Surge’s Fang.
“Kill you? No, no. You’re far too valuable for that. Oh, but treasure, by the end of this, you’re going to be wishing I had left you to the sirens.”
Note; some of these are more fitting than others, but I chose these songs to convey general vibes and ambiance. Lot’s of nostalgia here, folks.
Xuân is one of the major antagonists of book two of the One Siren’s Soul series! At least… for a time. They’re prone to breaking the fourth wall (to the other characters’ horror/bewilderment), acting like they’re better than everyone, making Bad Decisions, and overall being the one responsible for a whole big mess of trouble. But they’re also an infamous pirate captain with a penchant for violence and wild but winning strategies, so… maybe it’s best you tread carefully.
more art from patreon.com/abalonetea released here! this picture is for @quilloftheclouds!
it features Quill’s amazing character, Dione, and my boy, Red! Dione is from Quill’s wip, One Siren’s Song, which is actually one of the first wips I started following ages ago, when I was an itty bitty writeblr!

WWHHHOOOOOAAAA WAIT WHAT HOW IS THIS SO GORGEOUS AHHH
ilkajldkfjslkglksjg THE COLOURS. The turquoise and pale reds and golds with the black and washed out white!!! IT JUST WORKS OH SO WELL, ahhh. AND THE IMAGES ARE SO FITTING WHAT. Stars and astronomy!! Plays such a major role and symbolism!! The freakin’ siren anatomy ahhhh that’s LITERALLY JUST DIONE’S SPELL TOME OKAY
There’s this really lovely dark and powerful sense to it all, which works wonderfully well with the story as a whole!!
And askfhsldkgj I could probably change the name now with how many people mistake it, but I feel like ‘song’ would be a lot less original and relevant to the story. XD Ah, well.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AHH IT’S LOVELY
@quilloftheclouds oops I attempted to draw Celestine
HEY WHAT IS THIS
WHO SAID YOU WERE ALLOWED
TO HECKIN’ MAKE QUILL ALMOST FAINT FROM SEEING THIS
HHHHNNNNNNNNN
LLOOKKK AT THE HECKIN’ GLARE. THE FLOOF HAIR. THE EXPRESSION IS WONDERFULLY MARVELOUS AHHH I LOVE HER IN YOUR STYLE WOW
I feel so honoured that you enjoy my work so much as to make fanart!! AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH >u<
one siren’s soul ; @quilloftheclouds
i would not fail to demonstrate the true meaning of a sea witch’s wrath.
thank you for 500!!
HHNGH
I’M DYING OF AWE HHHH---You’re giving Quill a heart-attack of awesome aslkdsjglskfjgdf
IT’S. SO GORGEOUS. HOLY STARS. The contrast!!! The images and the colouring!!! You got the compass and the ships and the maps and there’s such a classic pirate-y baroque era painting feeling to it all??? THE FONTS ARE PERFECT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR GOOD FONTS FOR A WHILE. And the quotes you chose!!! AHH IT’S ALL SO EPIC
Iiiiii love the three dimensional effect you did with the white border appearing behind certain things, and the cursive borders of repeated words!!! The washed out colours and the stark shadows give such epic adventure vibes, and there’s magic there? IDK IT’S JUST REALLY NEAT
Thank you so much for doing this!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous, and your graphic making skills never fail to just... utterly astound. Here’s to five hundred followers, and five hundred more~!
Hey mate!!! Congratulations on your 200 followers, that's absolutely wonderful! If you'd like, could I get a playlist with the theme of magical pirate adventure? Or just, OSS as a whole, if you'd prefer~
Thanks so much!!! I tried to capture the piratey, ocean vibes of OSS with this :) I hope you like it!!
YO THIS IS SO COOL. LOVE IT. Sirens was actually originally on the playlist already! XD That just goes to show how well you know my wip!
I heckin’ love these other suggestions, though! I know all of the artists but for some reason I haven’t listened to these songs before? Waves of Gray is definitely being added to the taglist yes wow
Here’s the third of three OC portraits I’ve been working on for my 1000 follower giveaway! (Seeing as I’m now close to 2500, I figured it was high time that I wrap these up and share them, lol.) <3
