Description

Holy crap, I finished just in the nick of time.

Prom Task for

I had been feeling pretty worthless/like I can’t do anything right for the past week. Really put a damper on my mood and so I wasn’t able to draw as many people as I wanted to. That and I began to run out of time. So, sorry if the lines are a little messy. I was going to include more people and I had this hilarious idea to go with this, but my feelings just killed my soul.

But, I should stop with the self-loathing and get to the fun stuff. So, without further ado! My prom task! 

Usually I do pretty silly/goofy scenes for this task, but I think this round, I just stuck to a pretty chill prom scene. Which probably works with Coogan’s personality.

Getting into trouble unintentionally is also his personality. So he didn’t get to avoid that.

Alright, let’s get this party started!

 

On the stage:

Prom King goes to Tete-DePunk ’s Frost Lord Kai. He’s unsure how to feel about this. Probably thinking about all the duties he’s gotta complete, but is stuck here instead.

Prom Queen goes to Ayanonumber13 ’s Mae. She’s pretty thrilled about it. Perhaps she can plug her merch while she’s up there.

And then there’s Coogan who got stuck in the streamers somehow. (Can you tell he made the banner?)

 

On the far left at the bottom, I decided to do both Ayaka and Ayame who belong to pheeph . They are people watching.

In the middle, hermiethefrog ’s Courtney is getting her mind blown by Raqonteur ’s Diana’s existence. Totally questioning now if Greek Mythology truly is a myth.

On the top, next to the curtains, Zakuro-Kona ’s Kiro is chatting up a storm with rainbow000pegasus ’s Lily.

Coming through the doorway, dargon899 ’s Kite is making his way with some food.

Funny enough, thanks to some sketches from the beginning of the round, I decided to keep Ithilloth ’s Inau, MegaMaeve ’s Va, and dragondoodle ’s Jovian all together. He’s teaching them puns. But Va is 2000% done with everything.

Then next to the stage, Akaszik ’s Madame Jenna is talking about some grand romantic adventure, keeping LadyLing ’s Tourock very entertained.

Whew, enjoy everyone!  


Please check out this amazing follow up!! Ahhh, it's too beautiful:

This piece keeps on being absolutely hilarious! There's just so much going on - from Coogan up in the rafters my favorite part of the piece XD to Jovian sparking the cogs in Inau's mind and getting more annoying to Va by the second... It really made my day when I first saw it, and continues to make my day whenever I get back to this piece. Thank you for including Va, and for initiating Jov, Coogan, Inau, and Va's meeting.


Everybody looks absolutely wonderful in your style - Mae is adorable (her design translates so well to your style; you really know how to bring cute dresses to life!) and Kai's serious demeanor is just so befitting of his character Also, love to see Lily smiling. Kiro may be a bit of a Redneck, but he too does harbor a good heart underneath his tough-but-charming outer layers. ^^


Lovely work!

Thank you so much!! It makes me happy that you like it so much!


I had so much fun with the Council of Non Amusement and their growth over the whole round. I just couldn't help myself and I just had to add them!

I appreciate the kind words so much, thank you!

So sorry this comment is so late, Birdy! But was so thrilled with your prom assignment, wanted to wait until a proper comment could be given!


We all get these low points, and you accomplished a great deal in this round, Birdy! You brought Coogan to life, and dare I say, Coogan captured our hearts (mine included, very much so!) in this round!


Your prom scene is wonderfully varied, and has a great dimension and size! Your prom is one of the most impressive ones in this round, for sure! Everyone is enjoying (or not enjoying themselves, judging from Va's expression, though Inau looks intrigued by Jovian's jokes).


Kiro and Lily seem to enjoy each other's company, and love their prom outfits, esp Lily's black dress and Kiro's classic shirt and khaki combo. Love those sneaker and that his shirt is slightly untucked and crumpled- very much in character for Kiro!


Love how Ayaka and Ayame translate in your style- they contrast so well in their red and blue dresses, respectively, and their hairstyles and facial features/expressions also!


Madam Jenna can definitely spin some impressive yarns- glad to see Tourock enjoying himself!


Kite looks so adorable, with the hamburger in mouth!


Coutrney looks stunned, but then who wouldn't be if they met the reincarnation of a powerful Greek goddess? Diana looks positively fiery in her explanation!


Golly! How did Coogan get up there? Gosh, Kai is not only perplexed at being crowned Prom King, but I daresay he's worried about Coogan- he might use levitation magic to bring the poor fellow down back to safe ground.

Mae looks radiant, and she definitely deserved to be crowned Prom Queen!


Birdy, thank you so much for crowning Kai king- it means so much! Thank you so much! I almost yelped in delight when I saw this- and Kai looks so awesome in your style! I love how you captured his tired facial features and skin and hair color! And love his outfit too! Even the fur trim looks so majestic too!


Thank you again so much, Birdy, for this magnificent Prom scene here!


(Also, should say, Kai would probably crown Coogan king, but Kai tried to get a council for the Prom instead, sort of like a fellowship of the prom, if you get the pun. He'd make Coogan chief healer and mediator of the council, since Kai truly admires Coogan. He also hopes Coogan might accept his offer to visit Kai's world and stay for a couple of weeks at Kai's house, if Coogan would like to.

Oh my goodness, I can't express in words how much I love and appreciate your comments! I really sincerely love them and I thank you!

I wanted to give a proper response, so forgive me for my delay.


I thank you so much! I had an absolute blast this last round. There were so many wonderful and lively characters. Every round you can see the improvement in not just art style, but in the way we showcase our characters. It's truly a blessing to be a part of this group!


Thank you! Haha, I'm sure Coogan would very much so appreciate the help in getting down.

Kai was such a wonderful character to learn about. I applaud you for all your hard work and your success in this round! Kai managed to be otherworldly yet still so human. Through his unamusement, we still saw a man who valued hard work and a sense of duty. We ever got to see him smile which was definitely my favorite task of his!


I really appreciate your support throughout this round and all your beautifully worded comments. I think Coogan would be thrilled to make a friend with Kai. Coogan absolutely respects Kai and would feel very honored to be apart of his team! As well as spend some time at his house.

Tete-DePunk In reply to Birdhousebirdy [2019-07-24 22:37:00 +0000 UTC]

And likewise, your comments and support means so much to me! Thanks for your encouragement and interest in Kai in this round, Birdy!


This was a fantastic round- we had a diverse array of fascinating characters from varying genres and worlds, and we learned so much from everyone, as well!

Exactly! Not only does OC-Training help us develop our artistic skill, but it helps us grow as better story-tellers and communicators- it is indeed such a blessing to be part of this group!


Kai will definitely help Coogan down from the rafters.



Thank you so much! Really, you have no idea how much it means to hear how you enjoyed Kai's participation in this round! Thank you! And again, Coogan really won my heart- he was definitely one of my favorites, with his willingness to help, support others and encourage others, plus having a duality of being a healer and an archer!


Ah, thank you! Kai would be honored to receive Coogan as a guest in his house- perhaps some time we could collab on a role play if you like?

I love how you did Lily's hair though! Thanks for including her!

Haha I love how Mae and Kai look up there on the stage. Those two are the highlight for me haha.
Everyone looks lovely though!

Birdhousebirdy In reply to rainbow000pegasus [2019-06-26 19:57:00 +0000 UTC]

Haha, he's just getting into trouble, as he does.  
He's probably trying to hit on her. At least, that's what I think. I think she's just being generally amused by his failings at flirting. 
Thanks! I'm glad you are happy with how she turned out! Her hair was definitely my favorite part

And thank you!

I'm also super happy to see Jenna. It looks like she and Tourock has goog time together. - Thank you for including her.

I hope you're doing better now.

This is so wonderfully awesome! 
I adore how you've drawn everyone; Mae looks sooo pretty and I love how Kai translates into your style!  Courtney's expression might be my favorite thing about this though -- but then, KITE!! omg he looks so insanely cute !  And dear Coogan... what have you gotten yourself into this time?   
Kiro's been checking out at least three different girls in the prom pictures I've seen so far.  I love his big ol' cheeky grin here... and I'm glad to see he's gotten Lily to smile. Thank you so much for including him!


  Sorry to hear you've been feeling like that... ;__;  I second Ithilloth on the Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush song oh my heart what a beautiful melancholy yet uplifting song, and a simple but deeply heartfelt and intimate video...! *just heard/saw it for the first time myself* … I'm sending hugs your way; hope you can get out of the rut soon.

hermiethefrog [2019-06-10 03:27:32 +0000 UTC]

PFTHAHA you're correct, Courtney would be dumbstruck meeting an actual Greek Goddess. It'll be good for her, if her hold on her religion starts getting shaky then maybe she won't use it as much to justify her actions and will start doing things because she wants to or thinks they're good in themself.

Coogan... honey. How did you even get up there? I wouldn't think putting up a banner required one's whole body. Hopefully he can get down okay. I love him but also, poor boy.

Love seeing all these good good OCs together. Thanks for including Courtney!

Perhaps instead of using it as a reason to be judgmental, she can use it as a standard to hold herself to. But either way, I still adored her throughout the round! And I couldn't resist picking on her. 
Hehe, either he got stuck or someone put him up there...which the latter could be a better explanation.

I'm gonna be tacky and link you a song that I listen to when in such mood:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_… or this one:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjEq-r… they make me cry even worse but it feels better afterwards
You truly are too hard on yourself, you've been making awesome improvement this round and this prom is one of your best ones as far as I can recall such great job on the soft shading! And the messy lines aren't actually getting in the way thanks to it.
Aww, Kite should get Coogan out of the streamers! Or Va could poke him out of it with her staff. (He'd be so terrified he could die)
Poor Courtney has her beliefs challenged I guess Diana challenges everyone's beliefs after her round.
I absolutely love how you drew Va and Inau - they look so tired of Jovian's attempts to make them laugh, I'm glad that Inau at least shows interest. Va's 2000% done got me laughing so hard. Who would have guessed these puns will drag behind them until the very end of the round!
Amazing job on drawing this! You definitely managed to do everyone justice.

Thank you so much!! It really means a lot to know that you like it.  
I appreciate that Va took it upon herself to save Coogan, with the help of Inau, of course.  
I just loved the idea behind the pun story line throughout the round, I couldn't help but bring it to the end.  
Thanks again!

Awww hun. 

There are plenty of people out there who make it their life's work to loathe, don't give in to them. 

All of us here know you are totally worthy.  Your art is like your persona, it's always full of joy and fun.  And you share that selflessly with everyone here.

/hug.


Alas poor Coogan, We knew him well.  LOL. 


Ayame looks like she's pleading with her sister.  Maybe for the chance to go and cause mischief.  Or possibly just to go cut Coogan down


Perhaps Va could take a page out of Hermione Granger's book and set fire to Jovian's cape/robes to disrupt the puns.  Although given her expression she may just set fire to Jovian instead


Mae looks gorgeous and really cute in your style.  And Kai looks like he's been poleaxed.  Possibly by her beauty   Or maybe he's just not impressed with the decor.  "Is it traditional to hang up the village idiot from the ceiling, here?", he wonders out loud.


Madame Jenna's tales of romance have poor Tourock feeling lonely for his own wife, Diane.  And over in the corner, they seem to be giving Kiro ideas.  But since Lily is a lawyer, he'd better do more than walk the walk, he'd better talk the talk, and fast.


Haha, kite looks adorable.  He's not just after seconds but thirds and fourths too.  Watch out buffet table.


I love the idea of Diana pulling the rug out from under Courtney's feet, metaphorically.  It's a bit hard to argue that Roman goddesses never existed when you're talking to one   It gives her a chance to reminisce and of course to put on airs.  After all, she wouldn't be much of a goddess if she didn't enjoy talking down to people once in a while.  Maybe Courtney will put her in her place though.

Haha, that we did. The poor guy. 
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the scene I created! I love your interpretation of the events that are transpiring. I suppose Va could also string Jovian up in the streamers with Coogan if he pushes her any further.  
I thought it would be a fun idea to have Courtney and Diana having a chat! Seems picking on Courtney is a hobby many of us this round have enjoyed doing. But perhaps a friendship could be made instead. 

Thank you so much again!
