Theory: Ethari Proposed

The highlights of my ruthari comic page thumbnails (ahahahahahaha you see, if I post them here that means I must finish the comic. I’ve entered a contract with god)

edit: comic is up here

So very excited to share the comic i made for @ferdibertauzine !! I got to combine two of my favourite things ever— ferdibert and pacific rim (and had a lot of fun figuring out how to draw the drift!). Leftovers are open now so you can grab a copy now if you’re interested, so many talented people worked on this zine so be sure to check it out!

2nd try at posting this since I forgo the most crucial Art step

So um I am aware that all I do is draw Hubert and Ferdinand Fire Emblem making out but the 6th season of The Dragon Prince has awoken something in my soul and I just want to warn anyone who enjoys this blog at all that there will be art of Runaan and Ethari in the future. They basically taught me how to draw men five years ago and if I don’t draw them now I will die

Doodle of them ❤️

I cant stop thinking abt Ethari singing that lullaby Rayla sings in s6

Some Ferdinand Von Aegirs to nail down how he face works

Uh gay gay homosexual gay

Aaaaand my hand slipped oops

I am obsessed with how much Ethari’s designed changed juxtaposed with how little runaan’s did, and on the flip side, how much runaan changed as a character vs. how Ethari remains an anchor, both for runaan and as a character

ETHARI CHANGED HIS MOONSHADOW MARKINGS ON HIS ARMS???? FROM THE CIRCLES TO A SWIRL????

A) So does that mean they’re painted on?

B) if they are painted, does he change them because runaan isn’t there anymore to help him paint them??? Because like, an even circle is real difficult to draw on your shoulder without help.

C) in terms of character design, I will be interpreting this as him losing stability. His old design was perfectly symmetrical, whereas now he’s a little off kilter, literally spiraling with grief. To me, there’s a lot of meaning in his markings specifically, especially the ones under his eyes that look like permanent tear tracks 🫶

D) goddamn it now I have to relearn how to draw his markings

They're so cute omg!!! Ethari's hair is my new favorite thing ever!! I love imagining what they looked like when they were younger <3

Just thinking of little Runaan and Ethari.

They have childhood friends to sweethearts vibes to me.

ok I’m going to draw something for the happy bit of the reunion later but OH MY GOD. THE ANGST??? ETHARI BEGGING RUNAAN TO STOP HAUNTING HIM????? WE USED TO PRAY FOR THE REUNION TO BE THIS GOOD. I AM THRIVING. MY CHEST HURTS. I CRIED WHILE DRAWING THIS. IM ON CLOUD NINE.
