first thing i drawn proper in like a year, lol

oh no! not the pumpkins!
this looks absolutely gorgeous~

there's a specific feeling about being in a forest in autumn that i'd like to be able to recreate on command someday

agreed. that semi-creepy yet wholesome and homely feel.
or is it just the decaying dying leaves?

yes to both

i will stuff myself with leaves instead of cotton

Ooo yes! Gives that rustic crinkle to any plush!
add some worn button eyes and a creepy stitched mouth and you're set for the season!

I'm loving the kangaroo-horse plushy thing.

knicknacks are free to make their body whatever they like, but many tend towards one of the handful of "classic" bodystyles

many enjoy taking the shape of Mom, in some form or another. especially as the traditional carriage-pulling knacks are thought to have been some of the first created, and at the time shared her shape.

That's some really neat worldbuilding stuff. Thanks!

uwi is probably my most obsessively built world, falling short of auroral oceans only because auroral oceans is very narrow and hyperfocused

Is she in two places at once, or is the knickknack who's pulling the carriage just using a similar pattern for their cloth?

they're both just dark colors

although baroness bramble does, in fact, sometimes be two people at once for fun

Thoughts:

1. My first impulse to post was a joke about vampiric squash (actually a superstition in some parts of the world; turns out vampire pumpkins are a thing too.)

2. I'd initially assumed the balls the carriage is supported on spun in place, but with the drag marks behind them, I have to wonder if they're fixed. (Cute suspension system, though.)

3. It's interesting how the three guards (landsknechts?) are reacting. Especially the ambushed-looking one on the far right.

4. The guards are interesting, and the baroness is that lovely cross of intriguing and intimidating, but the carriage-puller is ADORABLE.

5. I like!

the road is just very moist, so the whole thing's sunk in and left some deep tracks

and these are the noble fighter-dogs of the sacred pumpkin forests

because Land can be altered by the authority of those that live there, land often slowly modifies itself to suit the personality of the people that live there

which can create a selfsustaining loop of ideas such as a place where trees grow pumpkins and so you worship pumpkins and dress as pumpkins

I'm so happy you posted this. It's honestly an amazing piece and I love Bramble so much! Why is the one deer just wearing an antler headband?

she's a natty girl, and doesn't grow her own antlers by default

but antlers aren't just gender markers in many place in UWi, they also serve as markers for being the kind of person who wants to thrown head against someone else in big clattering clashes! so if you can't grow your own antlers, it's considered equally good to just wear them on your head anyway!

This is super great and I love the level of detail you went through in this, from their outfits, to their various weapons, and that gorgeous stained glass in the carriage. Love the background, too, from the travel marker to the pumpkin forest. I would love to get lost in a gourd wood.
I admittedly would also really love a headband with an antler on it so I could just run into things more than I already do. It doesn't have to be an impressive five-point antler, I would settle for even some small cow-type horns or something.

it's like the first time in a year where i really sat down and got obsessive over a drawing, i missed doing it

Lve that stained glass on the front.

:V

mom is eternal :V face

Main Character meets a new social encounter.

on two different screens, two sets of dialogue options pop up

Link: Four Swords Adventure is the protagonist, Max the Dog is the steely no-nonsense love interest, Battle Boots is the party fool.

Do the pumpkins just grow off of creepers along the ground? 'Cause if not, that forest must get sorta dangerous, particularly late in the season! -Although, I must admit, I rather fancy that idea...

pumpkins grow out of tree roots here!

Definitely safer that way. Those trees look pretty tall.
