Second Lacka-oc finished!
(Transcription for any who find the image too blurry):
Born: November 27th, 1903
Salem, Massachusetts
Maeve Midwinter, the proprietor (and solitary worker) of a cosy little bookstore in downtown St. Louis. The epitome of a pristine and upstanding citizen, she carries herself with utmost pride. Serving her community like the very legal citizen she is.
Well... Aside from her random bursts of uncontrollable rage. But she will assure you it was just the amount of caffeine she had in her coffee that morning, "It's nothing, I assure you!". But besides that, Maeve has devoted her life to her books, the few things in life she finds worth her time. That, and the fact that she chooses to associate with what her mother would call the scum of the earth, supplying speakeasies with a portion of illegally made wine. Though perhaps being a supplier certainly has its... Perks. For example, getting to know the charming Australian bootlegger working for the infamous Marigold gang. Who she seems to have taken quite the liking to.
Among the pleasantness of her small bookshop on the corner, this gentlewoman enjoys listening to the ambience of her many records on her gramaphone. Coupled with the oh so calming turn of a book page when nobody is around. Loving all fashion with ruffles and jewels to them, she collects anything even remotely shiny she can get her little mitts on. As well as being an avid lover of dark humour, and strawberry flavoured macarons.
Very happy to have Maeve's character card done, I find her to be the more ostentatious of the three given her... wealthier upbringing.
As always, have a dazzling rest of your day/night! š

The LackaOCs of this blog's biggest fans :3 Part 1(According to Tumblr)(Hoping Tumblr won't mess up the quality lol pls just zoom in if it does :'))

Flynn Mulligan - @realbouru

Benjamin Heller - @aghostnamedcalamity
Maura Venza - @rudnitskaia (Advanced Happy Birthday btw!)
And to my other follower and mutuals I really appreciate all the support y'all gave me! Which is why I'll be drawing some of y'alls OCs on my sketchbook : )
Finally finished with the Ć se standee. The flower inb the back is suposed to be Purple loosetrife.
Purple loosetrifes (Lythrum salicaria) are a pink flower that is part of the Lythraceae family. They bloom in autumn tend to grow near water. They're call Kattehale in Norwegian witch translates to Cattail not to be confused with the American Cattail which I donāt think grow anywhere in Norway. They are one of the many plants that grow around the MjĆøsa lake. I chose this flower to represent Ace mostly because of itās location and name. As far as I can tell it doesn't have any specific meaning but the name lythrum might be derived from the Greek word for blood. Red is Aceās primary color and in general I associate Ace with blood more specifically the blood that gathers under your nails when scratching someone. (its weirdly specific I know but for some reason thats the strongest visual representation Iāve imagined for Ace for the longest time idk) loosetrife also contains the word strife which I also feel ties into Ace and her story allot.
I went for something more stylized for the flowers. I'm not good at painting realism so I think this is the best I can do lol.
Calliope: Recollection
(a poorly drawn mini-comic inspired by a recent convo between yours truly and @ahhhh-118, enjoy!)
Translation:
Cairns family homestead, 1917...
Adeline: Calliope?... Where are you going with that shovel?
Calliope: just gonna go withdraw some money, mum.
Calliope (in mind): just a little money...
A few years earlier...
Robert: Oi, Calli! Where yah goin'?
Calliope: Goin' down to feed the sheep, why?
Callum: *narrows eyes in suspicion*
Robert: You've only got a few more bucks in your allowance, so.yah betta make it count.
Calliope: Yessir!
Calliope (in present mind): *sigh*
Calliope (still in present mind): It's just to keep us fed... I promise I'll pay you back... Someday
For context, this follows an eighteen year old Calliope (aka, when she still had long hair) whose mother approaches her about where she's going. Calliope responds that she's going to withdraw money, but doesn't tell her that she's withdrawing money from the secret stash of money Calli and her brothers had stolen from banks and buried out on their families property (they come from a family of cattle farmers). Calli reminisces to herself about only taking a little, before we're thrown back to a fifteen year old Calli with her two older brothers Robert and Callum. Robert asks Calli where she's going and she responds with lie, of which her brothers catch onto. Robert replying with what he knows she's actually going to do, and says to use the rest of what she has in her 'allowance' wisely. As to make it even they had divided up their loot. Calli salutes him with her shovel before we cut to eighteen year old Calli thinking to herself, this time about how she would pay back her brothers the money she took from them to be able to feed her and her mother while they were away fighting in the great war. If they ever did come home, that is...
Woo, that was a doozy! Sorry for making the post so long š , there was just too much info I wanted to stuff in. Thank you so very much to the people that read this far!
With that in mind, have a splendiferous day/night!
emery's standee design!
took me a while to finish
Benjamin meets Mordecaiās family once; when Mordecai made an effort to visit home during his motherās passing. He and his Aunt Rosie got along the absolute best! Esther is not really a fan of kids so the relationship is cordial but kind. He only knew his grandmother for two days before her death but she was very happy to meet him, even briefly.
TW DEATH , TW MURDER
Mordecai was no longer in the business by this point. But as a final act of his former self, he went out on the eve of his motherās death and killed his former adversaries that were keeping him from visiting. His worry was, if Benjamin ever sought to visit NY on his own, they might mistake him for Mordecai. Plus, the men seeking revenge on him were now significantly older than when they first encountered each other.
Because of social stigmas at the time, Mordecai essentially lied and said his wife had passed during childbirth.
Hereās an old drawing of Mordecai and Benjamin arriving to New York for the visit!

Yes, that one woman I've been simping over (guilty)

As recompense for your crimes, I'm obliged to ask for 24 and 29 on the question sheet plz šš®āāļø (even when I had stolen it from someone else first š¤«)
- š„Petty Hedonismš„ -
Uh, yeah, my first q&a in Tracy's style (more or less)! For the record the first picture is my very first attempt at self insert in a comic, please don't be too harsh on me lol.
As pertaining the second question, no. 29, "What is the stupidest thing she has ever done because someone dared her to do it?", I didn't draw anything, but I'd say a large number of senseless endeavors with... you guessed it, the Savoy siblings, yet again. It's always them.
Of the likes of, throwing knives - only problem being, that Margo herself was the one having knives thrown at her like a circus performance. And she was giggling like a blushing schoolgirl, too. Or going rowing with a shirtless, barefoot Nicodeme in a swamp hosting crocodiles as its fauna. Or having voodoo love symbols carved in unnamable places of her body by an overeager Serafine (yes, I do will descend into further details about this in another post sooner or later).
But even after it all Marjorie's still alive and well, isn't she? And as they say, 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
Or just batshit crazy in Margo's particular case, but she's not the only one. Margo, we feel you.
Happy Pride month everyone š¤š¤š
This month may have been a bit rocky here and there, but I am happy to have such amazing friends near. I wanted to draw a pride month piece earlier in the month but well, here we are!
The hair things are so cute, and Luna looks so pretty !
Hereās the Luna, and the pose I did! I REALLY hope you guys like it!
Took a day and aboutā¦two hours?
(letās pray that this gets noticed-)
The gang indulges in some unrestrained summer fun!
This has been a wip for gosh knows how long, but I managed to get it done. It started with just Maire but then everyone got to join in.
The gang mostly belongs to @libras-interactives Lottie belongs to @maryannsstrawberry i belive. So sorry for misattributing her to Libra. Who has custody of Little Lottie I'm still unsure of tho.
Individual pngs below (theyre suposed to be transparent, but i guess tumblr can just decide not to do that sometimes. free website and all that), as well as art thoughts.
Weāll go from left to right
Jack: I feel like if Jack is going to the beach he need some protection from the sun. So along with a early 1920s style mens swimsuit, heās also got a sun hat and a housecoat. I based it of a womans house coat as they look very light and breathable which probably helps with the heat while keeping him safe from sun. House coats were also generally not uncomon to wear on the beach. I also just like messing around with gender presentation in my art. Iām sure Marius approves.
Marius: Marius is sporting a mens bathing suit from the late 1920s. As he is very fashion forward I felt it fit him to wear something a bit more up to date. His fur pattern does make it look like he was wearing shorts and a t shirt and got sunburned lol. I based his fur on Evelineās and the photos of the cat he was based on. Maybe a gradient would make it look a bit less silly idk. Feel free to weigh in if you have any ideas.
Eveline: I know Eveline prefers clothing from the late 1900-1910s more but I really loved how she looked with her hair up. I based her bathing suit on a 1920s version but added a few flairs to give it a bit more of a retro vibe for the time.
The Lotties: I gave Lottie a bathing suit with a belt and a cap. As per the laws of the Lackadaisy-verse her ears are tucked safely into her cap. No ear holes here. I wanted to give her a beach bag but I couldn't find any type of purse specifically for that so sheās got a shopping bag instead. I felt she needed somewhere to keep little Lottie's beach toys and sun screen, speaking of: She is wearing a very normal child's bathing suit. Not much to say on it. I focused more on her posing than her fashion.
MÔire: the original name for this drawing when I was just planning on drawing her was bathing beauties⦠Anyway, she strikes me as someone who uses her time at the beach to relax and look good while doing it. Her swimsuit is based on something I saw on Pinterest. It had flowers painted on it which strikes me more as being ornamental. Shes also a pair of fashionable heals and a parasol.
And last but not least Malwina: Malvinaās bathing suit is technically from 1926, so maybe she is just way ahead of the trends. Her shoes are laced beach shoes. I feel like shed take the opertunity to enjoy the fresh air, and swim in the cooling water. Maybe check out some cute boys. I think shed enjoy having a day where she can just be a normal teenager.
Mc is probably around. Maybe off buying soda pops for everyone.

This took me about all month, though it was sporadic bursts of work and then radio silence, but still.
incase the character card didnāt come in well:
Born: September 15th, 1901.
St. Louis, Missouri.
Sylvia, the devoted nurse turned Smuggler after the wealthy Knight family disowned her and her career went south, is a cool, collected and graceful woman, she has a past as clouded in torment and adversity as the cigar smoke that clings to the ceiling of her Bossās office, despite this, her confidence is unwavering, and her determination to see an order or operation to a successful end, with just as much desire to insure the well being of her coworkers, is infinite, no matter howā¦.annoying some of them may beā¦.
She worked her way up the ladder and managed to get the attention of the Marigold, and being the opportunist she is, she knew there was no other way up, but through a established and powerful outfit, and now she applies the same meticulous techniques and enigmatic approach as a Marigold Operative as she had in her life as a smuggler, her strategic mind and attention to fine details leading Asa Sweet to pair her up with Mordecai Heller,-Though, the feminine touch and endless reminders of how bad smoking is, is a bonus no one asked for- leading to a successful partnership, even if she wasnāt fond of the idea at firstā¦.
Iāll be posting her character card too, which has all this information on it also.
Iāve been thinking about her none stop honestly, and I want to make a much more detailed sheet one day, but this will have to do, especially since I will have her on ArtFight this yearš

Hey there!
YUP,
after the embarrassingly LONG time of two months and 19 days after the opening of this silly Tumblr blog and the introduction of Margoās cute character on the Lackafandom scene, I FINALLY finished her character sheet for all of you sweet folk to witness my delusional fantasies of blood-streaked glamour and romance!
Why did this take me so much time? Simple. As usual, I canāt use Ibis Paint X, and draw digitally with my smol fingers on my equally smol and silly phone.
As such an inept as I am, the background of Marjorieās illustration is in fact NOT product of my dubious artistic skills: I downloaded it from a free stock of āaesthetic garden background, wallpapers and illustrationā I found on Trailsandfreedom.com .
No, I swear I am not being paid to advertise them or anything, I merely feel the urge to leave credits with my pesky moral code nagging at my conscience.
Here is the original picture, on which I then dared to add some filters to get the dull coloring I wanted.
Also, here is the original pencil sketch of Margoās, this time proudly produced by myself only:
Sheās supposed to be sporting some fancy Victorian-gothic style dress, hat and parasol to recall of Mordecaiās own elegant fashion sense. I didnāt add any gloves because at the beginning I wanted her to, like, sting herself with the rose to draw blood and symbolise the assassination business and all that jazz.
And, nada, thatās the end of my interminable poem of thought process! I hope this gave some proper insight on Margoās otherwise mysterious character, and it it managed to entice your curiosity about her, feel free to nag me in my asks!
-GentleLass.
Happy Fathers Day!

Rewatching Princessa Mononoke inspired me to remake the MedievalAU šš
Carmin is a druid who lives in the woods, she cursed the king's first-born turning him into a boar, and now the king wants her head. She was raised by another druid since she was a kid, so Carmin doesn't know much about human society, however she dislikes the ones who are disrespectful towards her home.
Monty is a knight who sworn his sword for the king, he heard the stories about the witch in the woods, but only thought it was only a rumour. After being heavily injured in a battle, Carmin found him and healed his wounds. Monty grew fondly for Carmin.. the feeling of love started to bloom in his heart for the druid. And the feeling was mutual, although Carmin couldn't understand at first why she was falling for a knight, she knew she couldn't fight against her heart.
Living in different worlds, they manage to meet up once in awhile in the woods where nobody could forbid their passion...
