Finished with the big boy! This one is a bit moody, because it's autumn, and I was listening to "Good Charlotte - I don't wanna be in love" (it just gives me melancholic vibes). Anyway, it's such a pleasure to draw Oz again (Oz is from @cryptidcrush.com and belongs to @squidinu.bsky.social ).

goodnight sky 10
Holly trudges through the starlit snow while aurora washes through the sky. The snowman plops onto the ground and yanks off their hat, revealing to small leaf ears. Holly prepares a bed of snow.Holly lays down under the covers of fluffy snow and gazes up at the stars. "Goodnight sky!" They say to the sea of night above. Then they roll onto their side and drift off to sleep under the snow.Iron Prince and Sindri rest together in their shallow ice cave trying to sleep. Sindri squawks, "Phew! It's snug in here. Move over. OW! You're HOT!" Sindri in the darkness only lit by the knight's humming furnace. says "So what got you exiled, princey? The law finally caught up to ya?" 
Iron Prince replies flatly, "I set a ventrili troupe on fire."
"Their performance had me laughing till the stage roared up in flames." We see an outline of Iron Prince surrounded by a wild glow of smoke laughing maniacally with their claws and sharp metal teeth."What about you Sindri?" We cut back to the present where Iron Prince side eyes the rat next to them.
"Tch! The only one I've ever loved decided I was worthless." Sindri glares forward, his expression dark in the dull light. He falls onto his back, folding his arms behind his head and sheds a tear. 
"And just like that—" "I was gone."
"But I'm going to prove him wrong."
Iron Prince looks at Sindri with a sour expression.
Sindri continues, 
"I'm going to make things right."

let's get camping 9
Sindri looks back at Iron Prince who's turned away, still steaming.
Holly throws their finger to the air and declares, "Now that we've been properly introduced!" They throw their arms into the air with a big smile, "Let's get camping!" Sindri seems curious! And Iron Prince is indifferent.
The three adventurers carry more firewood and hefty pine fur branches back to their little camp. Sindri and Holly finish their snow shelter while Iron Prince keeps watch.The adventurers rest around a fire while Sindri sips pine tea and Iron Prince gobbles up firewood. Holly reaches towards the fire, warming their snow hands. Iron Prince warns the snowman not to sit too close. Holly, mesmerized by the fire says "But it tickles!" Iron Prince pushes Holly across the snow away from the campfire, "You have the self preservation of a walnut." Holly scowls.Holly watches the rat and robot sitting around the fire at a safe distance with a frustrated glower. Sindri glances up at the starry night sky and says "Well, I'm going to bed." Iron Prince agrees "As am I. We need to rest." Holly is surprised!
"Already? I-I guess it is getting pretty chilly." Holly smiles sadly. "Goodnight you two."Sindri replies "You're not coming with?" Holly bashfully answers, "Nah, I'm used to sleeping outside in the cold." 
Sindri laughs "Hah! Ah, I guess that makes sense." Holly gives the rat a crooked grin with their hands on their hips. Sindri begins to walk away as Holly's smile falters, "You're a snowman after all."
Holly realizes they're not alone in the dark and snow.

adventurers aplenty 8
Holly the snowman smiles and proudly points to themself: "Of course! I am an adventurer after all." Holly waves for Sindri to follow and twirls around in the snow: "C'mon I'll take you back to my camp! Iron Prince is gonna be so excited!" Sindri's scowl cracks into a smirk.Holly and Sindri trek off in the woods side by side. Sindri says "An adventurer eh? You must be awfully brave to handle a job like that." Holly chirps: "You bet!"
We cut back to Iron Prince who has dug out a large trench. in the snowHolly calls to Iron Prince who glances over their shoulder. "I'm baaack!" They run up to the armored knight while Sindri follows close behind carrying wood. "And we've got firewood!" Holly cheers. 
Holly gestures towards their metal friend and says, "Sindri meet Iron Prince!" The rat drops the firewood in surprise and gasps, "THE Iron Prince?" His eyes narrow and a snide grin spreads across his face, "How'd you tame that bitter tyrant?" Iron Prince glares back, "They didn't."
Sindri playfully punches the metal beast's shoulder and chuckles, "I'd hope not! This world needs formidable warriors like you!"Sindri pushes Iron Prince aside as they hiss "What are you getting at?" Sindri huffs, "You act like you've never been flattered before!" Sindri tilts his head to the side and looks at the metal robot sweetly, "I'm saying you're an inspiration." "Never lose sight of that Iron Prince."
"Your deeds don't go unnoticed."
Iron Prince is rattled by the rat's words, looking frantic before letting out a sharp frazzled train whistle. They turn around with a huff.

a burden shared 7
The rat backs off and says "Easy! Easy now Frosty, don't go stirring ip an avalanche." Holly stammers, "Who are you?" The rat continues while Holly stares, "Bah. I'm just another foolhardy sod who slighted the king." "They named me and my mischief traitors then threw us to the blizzos." 
Holly: "Golly.""But I survived." Sindri cracks a crooked smile, "Hungry and bloody homesick but alive!" He looks to his left with wide eyes, "Now you seem like a good soul..." He claps his hands to his face and grimaces. "You gotta help me my men are all iced or EATEN." He leans in close with wild eyes.
Holly murmurs, "Eaten?" They smile awkwardly, "I'd love to help but my mittens are full!"The rat yanks the wood out of the snowmans hands and smiles. "Yoink! A burden shared is a burden halved!"

Holly: "Thanks! I think." They throw their hands above their heads and exclaims, "I never caught your name!"
The rat gazes up at the sky and smiles softly, "My friends call me Sindri. But—" "My darling calls me picklock, crook, and miscreant."Sindri looms over the camera, the harsh light casting him in shadow. "We got into a petty squabble before the royal guard sent me away. It all seems so distant now. I suppose exile helped clear my head."
Holly imagines Sindri admiring a mysterious suitor while the two hold each other close. 
Sindri stare forward with a clenched fist and mutters, "I'd do anything to see him again."

Holly gives the rat a hopeful smile, "I could get you a boat to powder beach!" Sindri's eyes light up and he gasps, "You would do that for me?" 
Holly goes, "Mhm."

picking up twigs 6
Scenic sketch of the tundra. Wind blows snow across the mountain.
Holly looks up at the sky: "It's getting late." They look back at Iron Prince. "We should stop here for the night."
Iron Prince frowns: "No, We must be getting close to snowvale village. We can keep going." Holly retorts: "Even if it is, we can't travel in the dark."Iron prince folds her arms with a huff, "But I'm running out of fuel."
Holly: "Then I'll go gather firewood!""
Iron Prince: "You don't have an axe." Holly: Neither do you!"
Iron Prince stands there unamused while Holly storms off to collect fuel for the forge. "You stay here and set up camp!"Holly hikes through a snowy forest of pine trees picking up twigs. "Ah hah! You thought you could hide from me you—" They reach down to pick up a stick. "Twig!"
A large rat dressed in a heavy fur cloak lurks behind the snowman following them quietly.Holly glances over their shoulder. "?" They don't see the rat hiding in the trees. The rat peeks out from his hiding place and approaches the snowman. He leans down and lifts his hand, giving Holly a weakhearted "Hello." The snowman screams "EEK!" in surprise.

plotting 5
Iron Prince: You would kill the mouse king? Holly: I would. 
Iron Prince burst out laughing guffawing like a choo-choo train while Holly stares back with a blank expression.Holly exclaims: I'm not sayin' I'm gonna!! I'm just sayin' I could! 
Iron Prince laughs. Then their expression turns stern. They ask "HOW?" Holly thinks for a moment before replying with a simple- "Big snowball." :D. Iron Prince facepalms.Iron Prince: "You practice Cryromancy?" Holly: "No but the Grand thaw does! She manages Snowvale's weather and general trade." Iron Prince: "What would a clan of snowmen have to trade?" Holly: "Plenty! We've got timber, coal, and frozen delights!" "Or at least we did before King Holzer suspended travel to our sea port. Oh well! No more treats for me!"Iron Prince looks surprised as Holly whines, "Uuagh I want a banana sundae so bad! Blwahh!! Holly composes themselves, "Ugh, sorry. I'm being selfish." The two keep walking through the snow. Iron Prince says "Nah."

imagine I'm frantically writing this on a giant whiteboard in front of you
character notes -
Iron Prince- any pronouns
A living furnace with a steely disposition and a flair for the dramatic. She was caught by the royal guard and tossed to the Ice Fields over a squabble with a troupe of ventrili bards.

Holly Day - they/them
A wannabe adventurer who works as a scavenger recovering treasures from the Ice Fields. They've got a big heart, a big mouth, and a big snobold family back home.

King Simon Franz von Holzer- he/him After the sudden death of Queen Alvani, her firstborn son quietly took her place on the throne. The new king grows more reclusive by the day.

Sindri- he/him
A slippery thief who commands a small battalion he calls the Mischief. He's quick-witted, short-sighted, and has easily charmed the hearts of the people.Ventrili-
These nomadic, toy-like beings are said to have fallen from the stars centuries ago.
Rather than a beating heart, a Ventrilis life force is tied to an spectral "thread" dangling from the heavens. This has lead to much heartache and fearmongering over who or what controls these "string bound puppets".

Snowfolk-
Not much is known about this isolated group of winter constructs. They refer to anyone who isn't a snow person as a "no-snow" and have an affinity for fashion. They revere the Snow queen as their grand creator.
Snogres are their more rugged cousins.

Beastri-
A general term for the vast array of critter folk living in Holidahlia.
Wherever you are you will find a Beastri. They are a kindly folk, but often look for things others lack.

An Outsider (iron prince is pictured)-
No heart, no threads.
You're not from here are you?

3. Holly forces a tired smile as they reach a hand up towards Iron Prince, "But it looks like I got lucky this time! There's plenty of coal back at my village."1. Holly looks over their shoulder with a smile and says "I'd be happy to share with a new friend." Iron Prince glares at something over his shoulder. 2. The two begin walking through the snow. Holly leads the way and says "C'mon! We can go together." Iron Prince is still looking at a figure lingering in the trees.1. The two are walking towards Snowvale. Holly folds their arms behind their head and smiles, "I bed if I spoke to the king I could change his mind!" Iron Prince mutters, "You'd melt before reaching the castle gates." 2. Holly frowns. 3. Holly shrugs off Iron Prince's comment and says "I guess you could do the talking." 4. Iron Prince looks up towards the sky and says "I could~"
5. "If you want him DEAD." He sneers.1. Holly grimaces with a huff, "Yeesh! I can see why you were banished."
2. Holly gives Iron Prince a sharp side eye. "That's plan B."

iron prince meets a snobold comic 1-?
1. Empty black void with a distant voice calling "knock knock! anyone in there" 2. eyes open to reveal a snowman wearing an aviator cap with goggles gazing down at the viewer. 3. vision clears to reveal more of the snowman who smiles and says "you're awake!" 4. the pov groans in pain. 5. the camera reveals the pov is a hulking suit of armor passed out in the snow. the armor groans "go away." the snowman snips back, "I can't let you freeze out here! c'mon, lets get you on your feet."1. The snowman yanks on the armor's hands squeaking "Get up!" 2. the snowman falls backwards with an "oof!" 3. the armored monster easily sits up and says with tired eyes "who are you?" the snowman sits up from their fall and replies "I'm Holly! From snowvale village!"
1. The armor looks surprised, and says "What are you doing here?" 2. Holly retorts, "I could say the same to you!"
3. Holly continues, with a worried look, "The ice fields are no place for a no-snow!" The armor mutters "No snow?" Holly says "There are Blizzos, and snogres— and the undead frost!" the armor simply "hmph"s.
4. The amor, disinterested replies "I've dealt with FAR worse." 
5. Holly folds their arms with a huff "Psh! Ok wise guy."
1. Holly strikes a dazzling pose and declares "Y'know, I'm a seasoned adventurer myself." "Perhaps the best!"
2. The armor quickly turns around and begins to walk off, ignoring the snowman who yelps "H-hey wait! Don't wander off alone!"
