Description Prom task for the 10th round of OC-training . The Council of Non-Amusement is very relieved to hear that this weird campaign has come to an end, and they can go back to their duties and being stressed over actual significant matters full time. Soundtrack: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz9I0W… because they're the law and you can't beat the law

Had a blast this round, everyone! Inau did not. Neither is he content with the outcomes (he got stripped off his scarce privacy, his government's highly classified information leaked, his tiny secret affair leaked, and he still hasn't found his missing citizens). But I moved on with a large chunk of the story (and I got all the spoilers about Va, exactly as planned ), so selfishly I'm very happy.
Also it might be the first round that I've done not only all the tasks but also all of them on time, being only a day late with the Critique. Suppose that's Inau's irresistible aura of urgency.

Trivia: 
- Jovian's aesthetics kinda reminds me of David Bowie; after hanging out with Lena he also adapted her idea of original makeup into his array of disguises, and this is the result
- Lena just heard they're playing Monsta X so she's dragging Jov to the dancefloor 
- I'm not sure whether dancing is a sin in Memphis' personal moral code, so they're just rhythmically traversing back and forth across the dancefloor
- for some reason I can easily imagine Host can do all the non-human dance moves
- Courtney and Mae might have found solace in company of another proactive church goer amongst so many weird people (Courtney is probably endlessly comparing herself to Mae)
- Kiro is plotting to pick up Lena, but first he needs to get Jovian's attention elsewhere... perhaps someone will attempt breaking into Lady later that evening 
- Coogan is listening to Kiro's bragging because he's nice like that, but his inner therapist royal advisor is activating at the sight of the saddest table of the party

Haha Of course these three would bond over being pissed all the time - and I can't really blame their negative attitude considering how traumatized they look, it's been more exhausting to them than a battle campaign (at least they'd be in their comfort zone there ^^)

Everyone look so gorgeous in your style, Jovian is really handsome and Kai looks very realistic. And they are all so expressive!

It certainly was a challenge they weren't very prepared for.
Thank you! I got some advice this round to practice strong expressions as much as I do the subtle ones. Still a lot to work on, but I'm glad it shows so far

The "Council of Non-Amusement" just cracks me up  Especially Va's expression. Thank you so much for including Mae I love the way you did the floral print on her dress. I think she would indeed find Courtney's company refreshing amidst so many odd people

They're suspiciously amusing, aren't they
You're welcome, she's been fun to follow! I can imagine Mae filling in the gap of positive parental figure for Courtney, and Courtney being the actually well-behaving little sister to her. They totally should become church besties in some AU

Yesssss this is the best.  The poor council, having to endure a whole semester of this humiliation.  Kai looks truly traumatized... X'D

Ugh Kiro looks so handsome in your style! Like a real man. Thank you so much for including him! 
He doesn't even care that Coogan's not really paying attention, he just hopes Lena is overhearing how great and funny he is.   She looks fantastic, and Jovi's Bowie makeup makes me smile!

It was a very successful round, you created some really beautiful illustrations and excellent comics - including this one! Awesome job getting through your tenth round!

SpaceCastaway In reply to SunsetBlazer [2019-06-29 12:00:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Kai is traumatized for his entire immortal lifespan, he didn't need OCT to add to his burdens.
I'm glad you like the way I drew Kiro! I might have stolen a few pounds from him, maybe that's why he looks more manly. Let's imagine he went on a diet before prom He truly is a fun character, and a source for all the trouble.

Thank you again also for getting me involved with the admin duties, since it may have contributed to my extra motivation this round.

I love the group in the front so much, oh my god. Maybe now they can relax... Oh wait, no, they have to go back to their regular lives. Relaxation shmelaxation. Maybe Coogan can get away to help, but then again, that might be a bit much for him.

I can see Mae and Courtney getting along, but you are absolutely correct in that Courtney would be mentally comparing herself. Thankfully it is a short event, too short for any sort of competition to happen.

It's such a fun group and picture, thanks for including Courtney in it!

SpaceCastaway In reply to hermiethefrog [2019-06-18 19:42:19 +0000 UTC]

At least they don't have OCT in the way of their other worries anymore Nah, Coogan's true destiny is to become a royal therapist!
I can actually imagine Mae being a positive parental figure to Courtney, perhaps she would have some positive influence on her. One can dream
You're welcome and thank you!

Ah ha ha ha, this is amazing! The Council's expressions just killed me. And whatever the Host is doing back there.

Also, "rhythmically traversing" had me in stitches. (I didn't have a dance style thought out for Memphis, but it looks like I'll be using that one from now on.) Thanks so much for drawing them!

Tete-DePunk [2019-06-07 00:48:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah! You included the Council of Non-Amusement in the Prom Event!      


Inau looks exhausted, he's probably aghast at the cost of this prom, while Va is relieved the campaign is over, she still probably resents being dragged into the party, and finally, Kai's shares Inau's exhausted astonishment on how MUCH this party cost.

Loving Inau's facepalm of resignation, Va's murder-glare as she sips on wine, and Kai's dead and eerie stare of "I can't even-"!


Yes, this council survived the round and its daunting challenges- even enjoyment and revealing their vulnerabilities, as well as personal information.


Totally seconding everything MegaMaeve said- every time the council shows up, it's hilarious- their contrast of seriousness against an enjoyable event or assignments, they're not pleased at all with all this frivolous merriment.

And yes, let's hope none of the info on their hearts and souls reaches their respective dimension- Kai definitely will be frantic if anyone senses he's an actual softie, he'll be grumpier than ever.


Jovian looks absolutely boss here- channel your inner Bowie/Ziggy Stardust, Jovian! And Lena's fashion complements his look, she looks so chic, dignified and stylish!


Absolutely love Va and Kai in your style, as well as the rest of the characters featured here! And you did so many, too! Love how Memphis is boogeying in the background, while Mae and Courney share an engaging conversation. Absolutely love Kiro and Coogan here- gotta love Coogan- he definitely looks concerned from the gloomy, saturnine trio slumped at the table.


Ah, fret not, Council- you all can chaperone the rest of the party, lest some catastrophe hit the scene.

SpaceCastaway In reply to Tete-DePunk [2019-07-13 20:19:58 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't not include them! That was my plan since the start They're a lovely bunch together and it seems they became a package deal
Both of Inau's allies were a delight to follow and to observe their stories unravel. I'm pretty sure that he found solace in Kai's company, the one ultimate guy to know what it's like to keep your heart hidden away from the public. I'm sure that forging this friendship is the one ultimate thing he does not regret about his participation in OCT. By this point they're all made of regrets
I kind of wish we would have some extra small RP over the round, but things got busy and I didn't manage to reply to you in time Speaking of which, I don't do much RP on dA, rather wait for story prompts come to me at random like strikes of inspiration. You never know what inspires me to draw horrible stuff with our unexpecting characters

They were truly a blast to draw, I decided to settle on a less uptight and more comic vibe, since that makes it all the more absurd in their seriousness and self-inflicted drama. Glad you like the other characters as well!
This round's Prom was a chain of disasters so far Thank you for the wonderful comment (and sorry for the delay in replying)!

Tete-DePunk In reply to SpaceCastaway [2019-07-24 20:51:55 +0000 UTC]

(Sorry for the terse and belated reply, trying to catch up on replies and commenting on here!)


It would have been fantastic if the three of us could have held a RP during this round- it would have been quite interesting to see what sort of events the council would find themselves in! And see how their personalities and different approaches of conduct would have interacted!


Definitely understand about the nature of RP- it can be difficult to keep up with threads. I used to role play extensively on here and on Tumblr, but since then, most friends have moved on, and I really haven't found anyone to match with my characters and their genre.


Always let inspiration strike you, Beata- you create some of the most brilliant pieces and concepts here!


This round was definitely a blast, for sure, despite disasters and drama our characters found themselves in.


Thank you again for creating this and allowing Inau to be part of the Council!

Inaumeleth, Avadir, and Kai: We hate everything fun or interesting.

Everyone: Yay, yay! Party time!

The Host: Wiggle wiggle wiggle~

I love how you did the scene there! It packed with detail and liveliness! Ironically, the Council of Non-Amusement is very.... amusing. XD 

I swear I was looking at the Host and was wondering what in god's blasphemy is he doing.

The Host just appears so inhumane that I kind of couldn't get this imagery out of my head until I drew it.
Thanks a lot!

Look, now that's a very good question. Perhaps he will get a chance to explain himself to the authorities once Cypher finally beats him

No problem!

Authorities: Sir, what was your motive behind the kidnapping and murder of dozens of children?

The Host:        Cause it's fun~~~~~~

Authorities: What the...?

//epic voice-over// 


Inaumeleth "Cannot-Ever-Get-A-Break" Emperor of Sigelia --- Avadir "Two-Seconds-Away-From-Murder" of Filian Port --- Kai "I-Have-Seen-Everything-Now" the Frost Lord. Together they form The Council of Non-Amusement. These are their unfortunate stories.


//end of epic voice-over//


ANYHOW - no matter how many times I gaze upon the Council, I keep on cracking up. So much for a happy party. So much for a moment of relaxation. They finished their schedules, fulfilled their missions, but at what cost? Their secrets are public, their weaknesses out in the open, their vulnerabilities shown. Thank goodness they can finally return to their own dimensions now, where nobody knows that any of them have actual hearts to hide. Maybe Yvren will finally stop calling Inau once he's home.

All characters depicted look lovely in your style, from Jovian's jovial smile to Kiro's not-so-subtle eye-brow wiggle at the pretty Lena to Coogan's Parental Instincts Activating. You did an amazing job this round. Not only art-wise, but also story-wise, and even on a participational level. Your presence in the OC-T definitely made it a little more interesting for many of us, I'm sure (and if not for many of us, then at least for me. There'd be exactly zero (0) of Va's tasks submitted to this group if it wasn't for you. Thank you. )

Birdhousebirdy [2019-06-05 05:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh my God, this is just so amazing!!


First of all, thank you so much for including Coogan. Oh my goodness, his face is sooo sweet. He's got such the sympathy to those who have survived this round. I just love how you drew him! I just love how Kiro doesn't really seem to care that Coogan is only half listening as well.

Ah, but Kai, Inau, and Va look so done, it's actually adorable. I just love each and every expression from them!

Jovian looks great with the David Bowie Lightening bolt. I see Lena had fun with her make-up as well! I'm sure her and Jovian will tear up the dance floor. Which, it looks like Memphis is already doing with such a great smirk on their face. As well as Host being extra with his dance moves.

Courtney and Mae totally would get along! Good call on that.


Again, thank you so much for including Coogan!! Great job on the prom picture as well as getting through this round with Inaumeleth! I hope it was worth it for you. I sure enjoyed getting to know him.


I also applaud you for being persistent on commenting a lot this round.

It was a fun scene to figure out, I even had some idea for a continuation but that would be a bit too much all at once for me. Glad you like Coogan! He's just too cute not to draw. Glad you like the other characters too, we had a lot of fun characters this round.
I'm happy you enjoyed meeting Inau, he turned out to be quite engaging character

Thanks, I certainly feel like I did a better job with commenting than in the previous round (Niya's round was just surviving from one belated task to another )

Oh my, those three definitely look like they're completely burned out!  Inau certainly has a lot more to worry about now. I do love Va's expression the most, though. She is just so done with everything.

Thanks for including Lena! She looks great. I like how you did her make up. Not sure if she's a Monsta X fan but if it's dance-y music , I'm sure she'd be more than happy to dance. Jovian is rocking that lightning bolt too!

Everyone's looking awesome here, and it seems like a fun atmosphere. Sadly fun does not exist in The Council of Non-Amusemrent's vocab.

They've had enough OCT for the rest of their lives (might be quite long in Kai's case) Thanks!
Glad you like Lena! She was fun to draw. I didn't know what music she likes so I mentioned the music you like.
At least they might experience a feeling of a job well done, since it's finally all over.

ItikDuck In reply to SpaceCastaway [2019-06-08 10:41:07 +0000 UTC]

I don't really think about my characters' music tastes since the subject doesn't really come up, but I suppose it's something to consider just for fun.

That's a good feeling so they ought to enjoy it
