OWL UPON YE

Ok so this is Alter Boy’s actual appearance, that other one is just how he’s usually presented, I’ve mentioned before how he’s a very antagonistic character towards Marze despite not directly attacking him, but that’s only half true- Alter boy DOES attack Marze but only in very specific situations

It has to do with my idea of Marzenie having multiple routes (game-like talk again), in my head this fight is part of the good ending route

(which can be taken as a metaphor for a lot of things but the interpretation I’m going with is that Basil has to learn to confront his paranoia’s around others, drawing on how Alter Boy is a very inaccurate representation of Kel based more on Basil’s inner anxieties and bitterness then who Kel actually is, to confront him is to push aside this warped perspective and begin to trust that others aren’t out to get him)

Anyhow- I had the idea for Alter Boy spinning his head around pretty early on but it was combined with several other scattered ideas that hadn’t been decided upon- so certain things I’ve said have since become inaccurate, as to why he’s green? Well believe or not but that’s a very very silly nod to him and reflection being related, mirrors are technically green! Look it up it’s very interesting

Also slight tinges of color in Marzenie look cool to me. There’s that too

That’s about all I have to say in regards to this, Alter boy being a weird owl creature isn’t super relevant- it’s one of those rule of cool moments where I disregard symbolism because I thought an idea I had was scary/visually cool enough to use anyway, I just had it in my head that if Marzenie were a game it would be MORTIFYING if his overworld sprite suddenly spun its head around to lead into the fight- even if I can’t execute this it’s still a very fun idea to me, and I’ve thought about using it for an animation later on

Last thing: His face gave me a lot of trouble so here’s a little demo of all the ones I went through trying to get it right ⬇️

AAAAAAA FINALLY!!!!

Thank you sosososososoooo much for this!!!!

Finally, I won't have to need 5 open tabs (but I have to say that was nice) for Marzenie things!!! Sending u a bigggg hug!!!

This post appeared almost as soon as I started drawing smth!!! I'll probably post it here as soon as I'll finish (If I do finish it, that is) (´ω｀)

There’s a myriad of other random Marzenie things and there’s been posts where I offhand mention plans I have for Aubrey, Charlene, Vance and Angel but for now this is well enough

Thank you for reading!

Without you’d I definitely wouldn’t draw as much, teehee :}

DANNY WHY DO YOU POST THESE THINGS WHEN IM NOT HOME WHAT IS THE CHANCE PLEASE

Why do we have horrid timezones smh

But, GOOD LORD!!

AUBREY!!! YES!!!! OOOHHHB I LOVE HER DESIGN SM!!!!

MY FINGERS ARE SO DAMN COLD WHEN IM TYPING IT SO SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES !!!

OK I THINK SHE IS THE ONE WHO WILL GET ME OUT OF MY ARTBLOCK I SWEAR

OOIUGGHHH AND ALSO THE JESTER THEMEING??? ILOVEITSOMUCH kinda reminds me of shadow milk cookie from crk but that's not important....

BUT LIKE AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF MY PRACTICES I SAW UR POST LITERALLY A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER U POSTED IT

I WANNA GIVE U A BIGG HUG MAN

this reminds i have to post some of my abandoned art pieces (which are mostly marzenie whoopsie daisy)

ONCE AGAIN BIG HUGGGG FROM ME

AAAAAUUGHHH KEEP IT UP DANNY!!!

RUN WHEN YOU HEAR THE BELLS JINGLE!

(Aubrey’s Marzenie Desgin)

The beetle is dead long live the Horned Album!! Which is what this thing is called by the way, I feel bad for scrapping the beetle thing but while I was doing this my friend (thank you Jamie) suggested that maybe the horned album has a pet beetle and I said YES rabbit sized beetle with a dumb little jester hat.

Now due to. Uh. Well several things, this change in design means I’ll be altering the map and Kim’s design to see fit since both were originally connected to the beetle idea, and while I hate to see that lizard thing go she wasn’t remotely my favorite design so I can live with replacing her

So what’s going on with The Horned Album? Well the main theme I was going for is the ruining or tainting of something good, for Basil that’s mainly memories, Sunny, Mari and Hero can all be ignored easily since they don’t have a presence in Basil’s life anymore, Kel is more difficult to ignore but his current self is continuous with his young self, the person Kel is now has little effect on who he was in the last and Basil’s memories of him

But Aubrey? Her current presence in Basil’s life can neither be ignored and doesn’t connect well with his memories of her, the attitude she has toward him ranges from dismissive to rude to downright violent, sure Aubrey’s treatment isn’t remotely the worst Basil has experienced but her change of identity has put a stain on Basil’s memories of her… which namely, many are separate old ones he has of Mari which were also ruined by her death… the reason this is different is because Aubrey was Basil’s first true friend, Sure he later became closer with Sunny but Aubrey was first, and there’s many memories of her that are entirely separate from ones of the rest of the group or of Sunny

The day Aubrey began to hate Basil was also the day Basil lost the first person who truly accepted him outside his family… Aubrey was a milestone, Being friends with Aubrey was the only reason he even MET Sunny and the rest of the group, it’s that which has become tainted now

Furthermore, the other choices of goat-features and a clown outfit are sort of their own spin of the idea, the goat’s most popular symbolic use is as the perversion of the lamb (the lamb being a symbol for Jesus Christ, this is why goats are accociated with Satan, they can be mistaken for each other at a glance but upon closer inspection a goat and a sheep are very different)

The clown thing is kind of just a thing about “ruined joy”, clowns are meant to be entertainers and bringers of happiness to the masses, for one to become twisted and dangerous… ahh well this is not a new idea, using clowns in this way is very popular but as someone who likes clowns it was inevitable I’d have one in Marzenie although Aubrey wasn’t going to be the first choice, there were two other characters I’d intended to make clowns … the fact that I’m changing the cave to a circus makes them fit much better actually…hmm

It’s also worth noting that I wanted this character to be very… violent looking, anyhow, will be adding her to the master post plus an updated height chart tomorrow! I guarantee y’all she is. Uh. Big

Alright that’s all for now! Couldnt find anywhere to shove a gladiolus but I figure that’s fine, reflection doesn’t have any roses and Ziemia no lily or the valley, not all Marzenie characters are gonna have flowers in their design’s in fact most won’t… and yes I did phone in the coloring here, It’s 11:44 pm as I’m writing this and I’ve been working on it for two hours now so… yeah okay bye! Scheduling this to post in the morning now

A SCULPTED VISAGE

————

Aka a little sol face I made with clay!

So I’ve never mentioned this but I make decorative masks as I hobby? I’m not great at it yet but I thought the occasion warranted it, and by occasion I mean that I have 100 followers! Yes yes this is the 100 followers special, I’ve actually had 100 for a little bit but tumblr didn’t tell me because I’d technically already gotten to 100, but whenever bots follow me I remove them so I didn’t notice when it happened again but with real people! So thank you, thank you so much for all the time and attention you lovely people have given me…

I’ve gotten to 100 and over on other platforms plenty of times, but this feels different, I’ve been putting a lot of my soul (pun intended) into this account and into Marzenie and it’s brought me so much joy, it isn’t just that I got to the big number but also just how many of those usernames I recognize, how many of them appear almost every day in my notifications and how many of them are people that I followed first because I thought they were cool

I can’t wait to keep making things for you, Marzenie and whatever comes after it… if I ever stop that is, Pft, I’m not sure I will! It’s lovely and I like it a lot…anyhow, you all have a nice day

ok hi guys
