Tempest (redesign) and Miguel concept. I don’t love it, but… I don’t hate it. Going to revisit it at any rate, the goal is to repaint some of their original comic scenes

One of my favorite Cardan moments is a scene in TWK when Jude borrows one of Oriana’s dresses for Taryn’s wedding. Jude even says the dress looks one way on Oriana and another entirely on her. The first thing Cardan says to her when he sees her at the wedding—

“Nice dress.”

This cracks me up because homeboy is KNOWN for his way with words and skirting them. And HERE HE IS, simping in broad twilight!!!!

I have hired this bug to stare at you

Jurdan gets funnier and funnier the more you think about them and realize how much of a big loser both of them are when it comes to love.

Mfs get married to supposedly "form a trustworthy alliance" -> Cardan exiles Jude the next day to impress her, because apparently his rizz disappears when it truly matters 💀 -> Jude takes it seriously, stays in the human world for months and is salty af -> Cardan cries himself to sleep and writes pathetic little letters to her. Like wow you did that to yourself you dumb bitch 😭

And don't get me STARTED on their dumbass confessions. Cardan's was, I'm pretty sure, 80% on a whim. Like, maybe he had prepared the words in his mind but he didn't plan to confess to her right then and there at such a bad time. Says "well you probably already guessed as much" at the end then RUNS AWAY probably because he's overwhelmed and Jude is left standing there like???? No I fucking didn't guess you liked me lmao??? I'm dumb af bro, should've been this direct from the start :')

And Jude's is also hilarious because she says it kind of hurriedly as soon as they're alone, since she had promised herself to tell him the first moment they get together. Girlie confesses and CARDAN DOESN'T BELIEVE HER 😭 so homegirl has to EXPLAIN in DETAILS when she thinks she started to fall for him, why she started to like him, why she believed he didn't like her and why she felt the need to hide it. And ONLY after that whole ass explanation Cardan's finally like "omg!!! You liked me because I'm clever and funny?!?? Omgggg..."

Those fuckers were really married for months before fumbling their way through awkward confessions because they can't indulge in the thought that the other likes them. Like they were legit EMBARRASSED to admit that they like eachother while being MARRIED. Please this is so unserious, get real.

An average morning in the Jurdan bedroom:

Cardan: wow I had the WILDEST trauma dream last night.

Jude: the snake one again?

Cardan: no I was a little kid wandering the empty halls of the brugh calling out for my mother but I was all alone.

Jude: nice. In mine I was having tea with Madoc and I asked him for the sugar and he just straight up stabbed me. Also he was wearing Taryns earrings which was weird and then when I went to hit him I couldn't because we were in the Undersea.

Cardan: so random. Did I tell you about the one I had last week where it was basically a shot for shot remake of the coronation where my entire family was murdered but instead of being drunk under a table I was being beaten by one of Balekin's servants while Locke and Nicasia made out in front of me?

Jude: hahaha, so harsh. Sometimes I'll dream about someone breaking into my bedroom to murder me but he's like a mix up of Valerian, Balekin, and Locke and I can never find my knives.

Cardan, patting her hand: I know how much you hate it when you can't find your knives. Shall I order breakfast?
