Yverrine in colour + 5 years

Just a colour comparison in this post! The original Yverrine drawing pre-dates 2018 but I've been happy with the pencil versions through the years, so this is just reflecting on how she looks in colour, since these are the only two versions I have. I would still like her to have a few more leaves than what I drew in this time, but she lost the extra tendrils and leaves over the iterations of her design. I think in this case, simpler is better! She looks crosseyed in the 2023 colour, because I'm still bad with faces.

I managed to get more shine and saturation in compared to Ris' panel, but the wood armour is lacking depth and definition.

Maybe I'll get to work on her again in a few years!

The evolution of Reign

So much progress, but still so far from where I want to be!

It's also cool to see what I kept and what I changed! The only thing I forgot to carry over was the beads for the crown (I was debating whether or not to keep it anyway); instead of it being held up by physics, I guess it's now held up by magic!

I gotta figure out how to make a more saturated piece using Clip Studio Pro. It was easy with dodge in Photoshop but I'm trying to create my own colours now and it's hard!

Life the Ethereal | E T H E R E A L

Have I posted with a "Life the Ethereal" title before?

This one is technically called Life, the Ethereal, but I'm hoping it will be a four panel series with my other Ethereals! Am I ambitious? Yes I am, at the worst time too! I just started playing Hades again and it's a time sink and distracting me!

Here With Me

I wasn't sure if this sketch would work out, I feel like I should now always draw Diadresca in her skeleton form, but it's so challenging! And then I wrecked Tohmiel lol.

Makrie Drinks Bubble Tea

I didn't actually intend for this drawing to turn out how it did! I walked through an underpass lately with a "post no bills" sign and thought to myself, I should draw something that has that poster in the background. The vibe of it had to be similar to this world, so it ended up being Arridon. At first I thought maybe Irutha would be the one waiting here, but I've been drawing plenty of her, so the next best fit was Makrie. Why not bubble tea! That idea came after. I'm not even sure the world has bubble tea. Then I thought, this should have more meaning than just a random drinking bubble tea in an underpass. So, I figured, there should be graffiti. Meaningful graffiti, and considering I am still in a "the pigeons are drones" phase, it would be fitting for there to be messaging about taking down the government or something. So after a quick Google crash course on how to do graffiti fonts (I really hate artception; tattoos and graffiti and the like are so difficult to make up on the spot!), I went with the phrase "blind the drones", meaning hide from the pigeons. But I still need an artist tag or something, right? So there was another piece that was meant to be on here for "see no eyes", but maybe that's the signature left on the original graffiti - it'd just be "SNE" and it'd be roughly behind Makrie's head. The final decision to be made was whether or not the whole wall was made of bricks, and I really didn't want to draw that, so it's just concrete!

Making an actual full piece with background is so difficult ugh!
