So Very Excited To Share The Comic I Made For @ferdibertauzine !! I Got To Combine Two Of My Favourite

I nearly forgot abt their birthdays so I guess this is my joint contribution! Happy (late/early) birthday, twin jewels!

Funnily enough my birthday is also on the 30th, so let’s call this an early birthday present for myself, too.

Uh gay gay homosexual gay

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.

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.

More sketch book etharis! Ngl I totally forgot how his actual face looks, I’ve been doing a completely different interpretation for the last like five years 😔

Also he’s 100% daydreaming about runaan in the first doodle

Some very fast, very self indulgent ruthari from my sketch book

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

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

My personal head canon is that Hubert’s concept of personal space doesn’t exist with Ferdinand

Some Ferdinand Von Aegirs to nail down how he face works
