UMAE 2024 - Weaver Craddock (2024)

Art Page - Master Post - Patreon

Annoyingly I don't have the unwatermarked version of this drawing. I have the original project file, but it's for Corel Painter 2016. I'll find a way to get the unwatermarked version eventually. Or I'll just draw new art for Weaver. I have the line art, the rough color, and this & that after all...

Originally drawn on: 4/25/2024

    Since Weaver features predominantly in ULTRAMagic Interlude: Shadowland, I am going to advise you to read that. Don't start at Shadowland, start at Prelude though. Shadowland is the third arc in the series and nothing will make sense if you start there.

Prelude: ULTRAMagic Prelude

    Let's discuss Weaver's home world, shall we? There will be minor spoilers, so please go read the story before continuing.

• Universe-0Z is a bizarre universe, formerly classified as a Graveyard Universe. Some universes are too chaotic for the Cosmos, so The Madman of Old will cast them into the Cosmos Graveyard. This part of the Cosmos is sequestered off from the rest of the Cosmos, but can still be accessed via Reality Errors, Overflow Realms, and/or The Unlight. Sometimes The Madman will bring Graveyard Universes back into the Cosmos Proper, however. Other Universes that share this distinction are Universe-0X, Universe-0Y, and Universe-17. It should be noted that Universe-15 and Universe-23 were on the verge of becoming Graveyard Universes.
• The Automaton of Old (The Madman's underling) advocated for Universe-0Z, as it had several noteworthy residents that could be of use in The Unlight. Some of these individuals are Weaver Craddock, Torunn Craddock, Faolán Craddock, and Walter Nithercott.
• Humans from Universe-0Z are different from typical humans. They are more capable of magic, have unique skin colors, and hair that waves and flows like fire and/or smoke. Weaver's family has skin hair colors on the cool side, leaning towards violets and blues. As for Torunn, her family has more warm colors. Torunn's skin could even pass as a normal pigment under the excuse that she's tan.
• Universe-0Z has a unique type of Earth Spirits known as Earth Beasts. These pests are so bothersome that families will get into the business of hunting them. On a side note, The Beast of Old has a degree of influence over this universe, but the reasons why are unclear.

    I used an Alexander Anderson character sheet as my muse for this revamp... Yes, you read that right. He has the right face type I'm looking for when it comes to men. Yes, Alex Louis Armstrong will most likely be used as a muse for Duke Radovan Raynot if I ever get around to him, HA. Anyways, I am very happy with how this turned out. Drawing Weaver's new head is a little tricky, but that's nothing that can't be solved with a little practice.

    As an aside, the vast majority of all universes are Graveyard Universes. In case you're wondering, the vast majority of SCP universes, Creepypasta universes, and Horror universes are handled by The Madman on a regular basis.
