Yall think being in the Halloween mood in August is bad me and my sister have been obsessing over Halloween even going as far as to RE DECORATE OUR ROOM SICE THE START OF JULY I get it tho one cool breeze and then you can just SMELL Halloween 🎃 🙃
Nice you should do a whole coven for Necromancers or maverick night witches / warlocks who save the world or give into something way darker people who stray into the gray with darker rpg magical classes. Rosie’s is beautiful
Hey since you're always having to drive off to like Joanns--have you ever considered ordering things from, like, a WAWAK catalog? They don't do fabric but they have all the tools & notions, & hey, the catalog is free.
Could you turn mushrooms into fairies next? I think the nature of scrungly mushies, opposed by fae who are usually beautiful is fun. Bonus point if chonky dust puff mushroom ball thing fairy
Edit: stump puffball. The big puffball is intimidating.
Another fun witch could be a Titan arum with a ph a t fly familiar
every time prickly uploads i foam at the mouth with the creativity the videos give me
SAME
same man, same
me too,,
relatable tbh
You're not a real fan if you don't feel this way
I wish there could be like... autumn beverage characters. Apple cider, ginger beer, pumpkin latte, etc.
Hot cocoa and butter beer
This is so good I’m doing it
yessss
love these ideas!
Yesss
Since all your characters are meant to be guardians that protect nature, would be interesting to see your take in the "villains", the forces that destroy nature and the witches are fighting against
Dude like that furnace thing from Fern Gully
So like Hexxus from Ferngully??
Watch it be industrialism
The video would consist of a drawing of Donald Trump’s mugshot and that’s it
I don't know if it's intentional but I love how their backgrounds almost corresponds to different times of day. The Water Lily character (Alwin?) patrols when dawn breaks. Sunflowers turn was afternoon when she finished preparing the morning pastries. Rose's turn was at dawn and Belladonna roams during midnight. But those could also just be the time they prefer to be out and about the forest. Just a little idea about the characters personality
this would totally make sense
Next autumnal video: Witches based on gourds.
We all know Pumpkin.
But what about the Stinking Gourd, Winter Squash, Butternut Squash, Calabash, Abyssinica, and Wild Melon? :-)
And Zucchini if we wanna go more squash route
Spice Girls! As in, turning actual spices into lady characters. There are soooo many options there. I'd love to see that, and somehow I feel like it fits a summer/autumn transition time.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!
Yessss
Flowers to me are more spring like, fruits are more summery for me! So a fruit based character design would be cool
OMG YES!!!!😍😍
With fruit bats???
I can't put your videos on the background, they are too nice not to watch🔆💚 Such a nice job with the editing, the music, the art, just oughouhgough🤌
The "oughouhgough" echoed in my brain.
It's all I can hear.
It's all I can think.
For Belladonna and air magic, it would also be interesting if she used it for necromancy- like giving the breath back to a dead creature!
Beautiful as always 🌸 But truly the rarest flowers there are 😂
Some more cool flowers to add to the coven:
Hydrangea
Lilies/ Lily of the Valley
Black Dahlias
Bleeding heart
Fuchsias
Peonies
Lavender
Dianthus
Cherry Blossom
Nightshade the flower,and a Lotus. How about a Lily Pad with its flower on it.🪷🌸🪻
Add Hyacinths too! And make him a guy because in Greek mythology he and his lover Apollo were playing discus. Zephyr, the west wind was jealous and threw a discus straight through his head. Apollo was sad and turned him into a Hyacinth. So, a discus could be his weapon.
Spooky idea: turn animal skeletons into characters? Might be too morbid, buuut some animal skeletons are pretty funky. Might be fun to stretch the creative muscle a bit to see how you can shape and tweak a skeleton into a design.
My first thought is stingray skeletons. They’re WILD looking!
Hippo skulls are wild
@@dragoknitter1394star wars creature lookin ahhh dudes
Other possible complimentary traits with the characters i thought of:
Both belladona and sunflower are related through post mortem, with belladona postponing death trough necromancy and sunflower repurposing death through cooking.
Both water lily and rose are related through knowledge of nature, with water lily taking the more detailed, less personal approach of studying and rose taking the less detailed, more personal approach of talking directly to the subject. Playing with the idea of one's problems they want solved and one's problems they didn't knew they had.
Both sunflower and rose are related through "positive" manipulation, and the idea of being loved, sunflower charming people with her own culinary skills, while rose charming people with facades.
Belladonna just makes a fog scene for her necromany powers to scare people off xD
My nerdy love for flowers is squealing, our forest girlboss has delivered another amazing concept yet again
You could try and design castles / witch houses based on pumpkins, skulls or other halloweeny things to give your existing characters a home :) (and also to challenge yourself, I love trying to give houses a personality)
Very lovely!
I really like the idea of Belladona and Sunflower being sisters of some kind. Whether it be twins, half sisters and even adoptive sisters, the world needs more positive sibling rep that isn't resentful and actually friendly.
You should do witches based on the different kind of pumpkins and gourds
Sunflower lends herself so well to have a morally-grey sibling with the same powers but more destructive. Maybe something happened in their past and Sunflower had to be the "mature" one, the nurturing one, which led her to be so in touch with her emotions, while her sibling struggled more and became more unwieldy.
I'd love to see you do some tea characters!
You always impress me with how much detail, and thought you put into each character. It’s honestly astounding. Also you’ve helped me out of so many art slumps, so thank you. :)
water lily gives off very strong raine whispers vibes, so naturally im in love with them
the eternal spirit of halloween never leaves, it just watches you from the shadows of winter, spring and summer, waiting
I love love love Belladonna's design and character. They're all lovely but she's def my favorite. Also an idea, what about making villains/evil characters based on invasive plant species.
These designs are all so fun! You should turn elements into characters! (like from the periodic table I know you already did like the 4 elements)
that is such a cool idea! and for spooky season the twist could maybe be to do different toxic or "dangerous" elements 🤔
I cannot even express how immaculate this intro is I’m dying 😂 hope anyone reading this has a great day/ night xx
Honestly, a mop for a water witch is perfect. Its silly, but when ya think about it, it makes more sense. They live by the water, they do magic with water, theyre probably gonna end up with puddles on their floor at some point.
The Halloween gag had me laughing my ass off because that is EXACTLY what its like! Roses are my favorite flower too! (But orange roses tho!)
I love it when you post, especially character design vids because yes. I screamed when there was a poisonous plant, because I research on them for fun!
Fun fact: In ancient times, it was thought that witches employed a concoction of belladonna, opium poppy, and other potentially toxic plants like monkshood and hemlock in their flying ointments. They supposedly applied these mixtures to aid in their flights to gatherings with fellow witches or to indulge in wild and revelrous celebrations.
That's cool 🤔
This maybe a bit of a stretch but Alwin kinda reminds me of Raine whispers 🙂
omg same
These designs are gorgeous
Love the belladonna bat witch. Want to see you do aconite(aka wolfsbane) witch one.
Just the intro is enough to tell me just how good this video is going to be !
Edit : They are all so beautiful, I can't choose a favourite ! Sunflowers are my fav flowers and I love her design, but I also adore Belladonna and the other two... also the way you added these backgrounds... your art is just thriving, may it be sewing or drawing. I wish you the best of success, well being and health !
Your character designs are the embodiment of what I used to dream about creating. They’re just so detailed, both drawing and concept, and fantastically fantasy. I love how you make them come to life.
These witches are so incredibly stunning id love to cosplay sunflower or belladonna 😍 Please design a lavender fairy bc it's what im planning to go as for the ren fair this fall, ilysm your creativity is incredible !!!! 💜💜💜🧚♀️
You should make more nature witches inspired by manmade objects... like iron bird cages, or intricate glass vases.
I feel like a Snowdrop flowers, Bluebell flowers or Inky Cap mushrooms would make wonderful inspiration for new characters. 🖤🌌✨
PLEASE Alwin is so wonderful I have never been more tempted to cosplay someones OC (my list is TOO long 😭) I really hope they encourage you to try more nb and genderfluid designs cos youre awesome at it. I think your masc character designs are fantastic (the tree knights are my favorite of maybe every character in these videos) so even if its a struggle creatively you're already doing great! I am super happy to see them ❤
Sunflower witch IS the mom of the group and you cannot tell me otherwise!
Nice flower witches design they are wonderful
Love all of these! Belladonna is definitely my favourite and her back-story of reanimating endangered animals to keep the forrest ecosystem "alive",
Omg they are all so perfect, but Rose and belladonna OMG, I'M OBSESSED. I'm considering cosplaying rose just because it looks so much fun to do
omg they are all so stunning!!! I love sunflowers abilities and personality the best, but Belladonna's design is just the most stunning character! I love everything about her design, the color palate, the gorgeous shapes, the little detail and accessories, THE HAT!!! Like i so hope some people or yourself made her outfit for reals!
Will you be making this set into prints? They're STUNNING 🌸🌻🌷
Yep! They should be live on my shop by tomorrow, I'll post an update ✨
Since you're designs and overall style is so detailed and over the top I think it would be really fun to see you try to design cartoonish/ comic / "simple" designs
The amount of times I keep revisiting this video because I love the character designs as well as the incredible story that you created along with them. I really want a comic or show made of these beautiful characters vibing and protecting the forest.
OMG this is perfect inspo, i made a lily pad hat but could never come up with an outfit for it❤❤❤
dude these characters are so interesting! you’re getting super good at developing characters and making them complement each other!
I feel like a really cool idea for halloween would be princesses inspired by traditional halloween monsters like vampires, frankenstein, Skeletons, and Zombies. It’d be really cool to see your take on a more spooky creature but still keeping that light aesthetic of the traditional princess.
Kinda obsessed with theses characters. Their designs and personalities are so perfectly integrated with their themes and inspirations as well as with each other
Mmm, art
I apologize if you've already done this and I've forgotten, but I'd LOVE to see you design a character based off my favorite flower: the spider lily. It feels REEEEALLY within your aesthetic wheelhouse, and I know you'd understand the drama in their design.
Love all of your videos, thank you for sharing your incredible art with us!!
I am frothing at the mouth these are such beautiful designs I am SCREAMING!!!!
I love your videos sm they're really fun to watch and your art is so inspirational, love your stuff!!!
I LOVE the contrast between each of them and different colour themes, you’ve done fantastic! I think my favourite is the gal in yellow ❤
14:07 Wonderful costume design with perfect colour for the flower🥰
I love roses, even if theyre Stereotypical. I especially love wild roses, cause they remind me of my happy place; my grandparents house on the lake. Wild roses grow along the road & my grandma and I would go pick and dry the petals cause they smell so good. Theyre pretty, and I like that they're just as nice in death as they are in life. Roses dry down so nice, they keep a lot of their colour & smell.
I immediately loved your first character
I immediately picked up on the more masculine energy you were going for
I love all of them but the water lily one is my favorite
I wish I looked like the water lily one lol it's my favorite. I love these designs
I love witches and I’m an avid gardener, I’m in love with these designs!! 😍 One idea I’ve had for awhile now bopping around in my head is to take some sort of concept/theme like you do in these videos and make a D&D party out of them? I don’t even play D&D lol I’ve just always found the different character classes to be a cool jumping off point for character design! Would love to see your take on something like that.
@pricklyalpaca you are my new favorite art CZcamsr!! I’ve always created stories and backstories to my characters I would make in video games, so your character ideas are soooo fascinating and inspirational to me as an beginner artist/ Art-attempter
It must be the season of the witches, I sense a bunch of new creative covens coming in the future!!
Your energy made me feel a little better on a tiring day, thank you
Okay wtf these characters are on a new level. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!
sunflowers are my favorite flower, and her design did not disappoint 😍 her and rose are my favorite designs
These charicters would be the CUTEST show!!
Since winter clothing is synonymous with witches I would be I treated in seeing you make summer versions of either these witches or new ones
I absolutely ADORE Belladonna so when I saw you draw Belladonna I squealed!
I love all of them, but Belladona's powers and personality are my favorite. Rose is my favorite, character design-wise.
The pumpkin has spoken! Idea! Ide What if create oc but in HARRY POTTER WORLD!!
Imma try to guess what irl witches each one could represent just because why not.
Water Lily = Ecclectic Witch. The academic studying you mentioned fits that vibe in particular for me. I could see him being the bean who's brand new. Sunflower enjoys teaching him everything, where as Rose and Belladonna bicker about what is 'appropriate' vs what isn't.
Belladonna = Either she is a Nature or Green Witch. Either works in this case really. Necromancy is also originally a divination practice as well. One that doesn't lead to someone being brought back from the dead necessarily. At best they are summoned/called upon for favors from what I can gather. A philosophy I could see fitting Belladonna as well.
Sunflower is the Kitchen Witch Mom of the group. Rose and Bella at each other's throats again? Make em lunch and have em talk it out over food. Water Lily a little too engrossed in studies or just stubbornly continuing past his limit? Bake em a pastry and coffee to make em take a break. Food and drink not only brings people together, it's a good way to make em slow down and smell the roses a bit. To take things easy and in stride as it were.
Rose is a Hedge Witch for sure, which is another reason she and Bella maybe don't get along so much. Different nature spells and philosophies. Though Rose tries to be the mature big sister type around Water Lily, I could see that dropping around Bella until Sunflower is there to ground everyone again. Then Rose is probably usually the first to apologize before going back to whatever she's working on or with.
So yeah I headcanon Sunflower being the eldest and in charge of the coven as well. Belladonna is just behind her in the age range, and tries to help every now and then. Then there's Rose who butts heads with Belladonna as we all know. Finally, Water Lily who is the youngest and newest member in the coven.
i am so sane for your art style (i love it so so so much it makes me so very happy)
you should do characters based on poisonous plants/flowers, like Hemlock, fox gloves, daffodils , rhododendrons and lilly of the valleys
Every time Prickly uploads I feast
Absolutely stunning. And so detailed in how they look and their personality and relationships slay
You're litrelly my comfort youtuber. Everytime you post I instantly click on the video and watch it. Then I get motivation to make something.
I love all four witches.
Also more ideas that can be turned into characters: ballets/suites/other big pieces of music (ie Swan Lake, Vivaldi's Four Seasons,..), different landscapes (Salt Lake deserts, savannah, forest clearings, mesas,...), Greek mythology!
Baking for the Sun Witch also fits cause.. the light is what plants use to eat
I would watch this show SO FAST and over and over. Their designs are amazing!
I can’t cosplay but seeing Sunflowers design has made me want to sooo bad!! One day when I get the skill set and money to sew she will be the first I cosplay best believe!!!
Yay another video!! You are really spoiling us with all this content!!!! ❤
Nightshade and Sunflower are basically complimentary even in color powers. damn.
I'd kill for a slightly slice of life show staring these characters
Theme ideas:
- Classic fairytales gone wrong: for example Cinderella is made of glass herself and too brittle to attend the ball.
- Halloweenified animal crossing characters.
- Flesh eating insects or plants.
- Mushroom knights.
Hi, Prickly Alpaca! I think Rose is my favorite, but I like all your witch designs. maybe one day this will get a part two but with more exotic flowers like a sundew or a blue passionflower or a brazillian fuchsia or a paperbark or a monkeyflower or a heliconia or a bird of paradise. Also, maybe you can turn fruits into something. starfruits and dragonfruits would make an interesting character design. :)
I feel like this coven of witches are kinda like the anti-heroes of your little universe, and I love it. My favorite was definitely Belladonna
I think i need a book series about them😅 I love how they came out, the concepts you put together and i would love to learn more about them😄
for some more *spooky* vibes~ i suggest drawing misunderstood animals as characters (bats, spiders, snakes, etc.), a little thought ive had for a bit, which is self care magical creatures if that makes sense (like a mermaid taking a relaxing bath, a vampire drinking some nice red and reading a book, a fairy having a dress up day), a family of vampires would be cool, especially if they're each different in their abilities, and maybe some characters based on poisons or poisonous/toxic flora and fauna...
cant wait to see what you do next!
These videos are so satisfying to watch the finished product always looks so good!!!!
Hey, I know how you feel. We have 3 days of autumn weather in the Czech Republic🌧🌧, full of rain and autumn smells🍄 (moss and mushrooms, I live about a street from the forest). Today I found myself putting on my brown sweater, black wool skirt and searching the internet for goth/vampire clothing.🍁🍂🍃
As someone who has designed a Batman villain's costume around both the woody nightshade belladonna and the belladonna amarylis, I have got to say that it's amazing to see someone on here doing flower themed characters.
It’s always autumn once august starts autumn begins
They all turned out so cute! I love them all, I can't pick a favorite (it's totally Belladonna or Waterlily)
Have you ever done night blooming flowers? They are pretty cool, and the whole only opens after sunset might be pretty intriguing.
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! I’ve wanted to see you do something like this since last Witchtober! Thank you for this gem! ❤
rose is so pretty i love her!
YESS i love these!! They defenetely give me story writing motivation
It's a bit of a missed opportunity you didn't make Nightshade into the Earth character, because you could've dove into necrobotany as a concept for her, where she could use moss and fungi as a tool for necromancy. It could create a really compelling argument and tension in the coven because she's *technically* using natural magic and isn't disrupting the flow of nature cause the fungi are appropriating the existing living matter.
But that's a nitpick on my end cause air is still excellent for a necromancer, since you could play with the idea of stale air bringing death like medieval doctors assumed. Either way, my weird ideas aside, OMG YOUR WORK IS ALWAYS SUCH A SLAY, I LOVE IT
the water lily witch is so freaking GENDER omg
