Old French Fairy Tales by Sophie de Ségur:
A wonderful book with 5 timeless French fairy tales magnificently illustrated with 8 beautiful and dramatic full page color and many black and white drawings by Virginia Frances Sterrett. "Done when she was only 19 years of age, this was Sterrett's (Chicago born) first book, and she is often referred to as the 'female Kay Nielsen'."

:: 47-52 [RO] Bereaved ::

Grief is a monster at first; but a friend after. That's what they say.
For Thomas, Grief is still a monster, whether he befriends it or not.

47-52 [RO] Bereaved by EarlyOnion.jpg

"Grief is like that annoying acquaintance who clings onto you despite knowing it's not wanted; and it shows up when you least expects it to. Some days we enjoy the memories, some days Grief comes and hit me like a brick," says Thomas. "Still, we have such fun together in reminiscence, in pain and despair, in beautiful tragedy; and ultimately, we ended up signing a dark contract together, ah ha ha..."

My priest, Thomas Benedicta relaxing at St Capitolina Abbey, monastery for Monks, with a ghost of his past. He has been grieving Casey's death for many years and is still struggling with survivor's guilt. He decides to relax here only because an old acquaintance, Sister Cessna said this place helped to alleviate her sorrows.
(Trivia: This place will no longer exist in 300 years to come, when Ragnarök happens.)

:: 47-50 [RO] Default Mef_SC ::

My Ragnarök Online character, Mef the Shadow Chaser/SC (rogue class).
Unknowingly drew the pose to be 99% like [the ref image], only reversed. x'D
(You can also read about SCs there, first paragraph. They are, in short, warrior artists... or con artists... hahah...)

47-50 [RO] Default Mef_SC by EarlyOnion.jpg
.

As the title says, this is Mef in the default Shadow Chaser uniform of the game. Mef doesn't like it because of no shirt and he doesn't even carry THAT many daggers. Besides, it lacked his colour theme: red! He also loves the floofy cape, makes him feel safe. And those are Li'l Row button pins, hahaha. The actual design is a horned smiley, but I changed that for more Mef-ness. And I also left his chains at black for visibility purposes.

:: 47-49 [RO] Bless the Dark Ones ::

My Ragnarök Online/iRO character, Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (priest/cleric). He does exorcism... and even had one done onto him. :')

47-49 [RO] Bless the Dark Ones by EarlyOnion.jpg

And yes, he blesses the demons, undeads, and ghosties. Blessing them reduces their formidability. He also likes to slow down their movements sometimes, reduce their defence against holy elements even more, or use a double-damage skill on them... Most priests won't waste their time on this petty moves, going straight for the kill. So, it might just be that Thomas likes to toy with his foes before exorcising them. Huh, never knew he was sadistic. x'D "I'm not sadistic," Thomas objects. "I am just playful when we're one-on-one, ah ha ha..." ┑( ̄▽ ̄)┍

My dA friend mentioned Spirou when I was chatting with him and it brought back memories. So, I wanted to try draw in a Spirou-esque style. Apparently, I failed; but I decided to just mix in my usual style and keep this. It kinda reminds me of my Picayune, haha. I also realised that I changed the way I drew nose over the years. The Thomas drawing above is my originally-intended style. Rounded, not pointed.

:: 47-46 [NX] Old OCs ::

My old OCs (as in created for a long time already). From left: Priscilla, Clara Alexandra, Marinette Lochlann, Dandelia Andrews, and Starr.

47-46 [NX] Old OCs by EarlyOnion.jpg
Background is [2D cartoon city street vector] by Yuliya Pauliukevich. I only added the lower half to fill in the rest of the blank space.

I really wanted to draw so much but was out of ideas; and then I decided to draw my old OCs. They were originally in a medieval fantasy setting (the overpopular setting, lol); but I also had them in an AU set in present time... and that time was 1999.

Priscilla is a fashion model, graceful like an angel; Clara is a rollerskating tough cookie; Marinette was her rebellious bestie who could sing; Dandelia was a fan of mystical things and loved to swim; and Starr is just a free spirit.
