Entry for @Mr_Owl 's “Party Trick” art contest! I initially wanted to go for the weirdbox category, but honestly, Nix’s entry had that one down pat, so here’s hugbox.
Does it… count as a party trick if it’s actual supernatural powers? Must it be within the realms of physics? Does this technically count as partially weirdbox considering the context of the characters? I don’t care! I drew it, I like it, I’m sharing it. I’m just happy I managed to finish something in the midst of my art block.
ALSO! You’ll notice I drew Nugget’s stumps differently here. That’s because I figured that with how long he’s been a pillowfluff, the fur around that area would have grown back a long time ago. The only reason I ever went with the “bald” stumps to begin with was to make his condition obvious during his introduction. Ramble ramble ramble ramble-
the magicans that can’t use magic are burdend with proving that what they are doing is magic, while the ones that can use magic are always pondering how to make it look more like a trick
It is a display of skill in either case. As long as people are entertained.
Which they might not be if suffering a ruptured paradigm, or suspect their host of witchcraft.
Wine stuff goes over well, traditionally.
