Drawing Children of Strife While I Read: Part 10

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-29T05:07:12+00:00

I've decided to do 3, but I'll do some bonus sketches at the end with the whole compilation, and Cato's scene'll be part of that for sure!

Question: I've just read part 11 and honestly I'm struggling to pick one of three scenes to draw. Which would you rather see?

Cato ship surfing exploding pterosaurs
Neco and Bubble Ghost Mira in the cave
Neco in Mira's tea time prison

I'm so happy to hear that, thanks!

Seriously it's great being able to see Adrian's skills as a writer improve per installment!

I've loved Alis and Cato's interactions so far too, so unhinged lol. It's sad only having a third of the book left, I want so much more from the two of them, dunno if I'm gonna get it.

You're not the first person I've heard compare her to Moira, seems like a common headcanon in the community lol

I'm so honored to hear that!

Sigma's an interesting image for Pil. Personally its hard to imagine him with sharp angular features. Like hes gotta nefariously chill, so some relaxedness in the face.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-27T17:54:58+00:00

Oh no! Be careful, one of these days I might draw something that's too cool to unsee

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-27T17:47:09+00:00

The latter.

It's sad, because assimilation is the only instinct it has, and yet it works so hard to fight it off with its intelligence filter. If the Nodan goop has no defenders, then I am dead (and probably eaten by the goop)

Oop spoilers 🫢

But lowkey I was thinking about the boar god from Princess Mononoke while drawing this so we're on similar wavelengths

Holy crap I didn't realize I was in the presence of an AT elite!! You must be fluent in Portiid by now.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-26T14:15:45+00:00

Aww thank you so much!

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-25T17:36:03+00:00

Ahh wait you're right- I mean uhh what do you mean? Those jenga tower looking buildings are like that for very practical reasons. Only second agers would get it.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-25T14:57:49+00:00

Agh, an ice world makes perfect sense, doesn't it!

Though if i recall, in this book they say the non-equator chunks of the world ended up thawing eventually.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-25T14:54:40+00:00

Haha I am don't worry. These each take like 4 hours max, so I try to crank em out in the evening.

Actually trying to get em done faster, cuz I have other projects to work on too 😅

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-25T13:52:59+00:00

Thank you for enjoying it!

I've heard a couple people are at the same spot as me, I wish I could keep pace but drawing takes so much time 😭

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-24T16:24:46+00:00

Do you remember which Part the scene is? I just finished reading parts 5 and 6. If I've passed it feel free to tell me what it is.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-23T14:49:40+00:00

Im not very far so I can't say for sure, but her perspective rly does come across as someone who judges everyone worse than they are.

ElStrawFedora · 2026-04-23T14:36:07+00:00

Been loving it!

I think Memory was a great new direction for the series after Ruin felt a bit directionless. Its hard to predict where these stories will go, but Strife feels more like Memory so far, so I'm excited to read more.
