A friend suggested I try out the Megaman artstyle and draw the one character from the franchise I went heart-eyes for when she showed me said character- Atlas from Megaman ZX. The artstyle was intuitive/fun replicate!
What is it with me and (literally and/or figuratively) fiery ladies,
Deltarune’s colour palettes/style sparked the mood for a new OC AU; Knight/Bard AU? Terra is a Cursed Knight out for a cure and vengeance, while Harriet is a flirtatious fishwoman bard following along and helping best she can on the way.
They may or may not fall for each other in this AU.
Went to my heart-of-hearts and thought of the flowers I hesitate to ever grow due to their poisonous reputations. Aconitum, Digitalis, and Solanum (admittedly I chose bittersweet nightshade for the reference which isn’t the nastiest member of Solanum but shhh).
The third and final concept sketch of armour for the Fallen Slayer OC lady armoured set- Anne’s armour. I imagine her armour to be heavy (her body frame is quite suitable and able to hold up in such weighty protection) and shiny black, possibly coarse in texture despite being of metal alloy (I considered before her using some kind of special creature’s hide that’s resistant to her own lava magic but now idk.. regardless of material it has to be able to take the literal heat though). I’ve had the image of that helmet and Anne breathing out black smoke through it for some time, nice to finally try to get the idea down on paper. I admittedly avoided hands and the waist down for this sketch cause obvious reasons but shhhhh.
Concept sketch of Kayla’s armour. Unlike Demauria’s, Kayla’s armour is meant to be very much metal/plate type for electric magic conductivity. The only thing NOT metal is that dress underneath the plating, much to Terra’s strong chagrin (she no like the dresses, especially if she’s the one designing battle gear, Kayla is a stubborn commissioner though).
This may totally break the “Fallen Slayer Knights look scary” rule/aesthetic in a way that I don’t like, but this is so fitting to Kayla’s damn personality that I can’t decide whether to be mad or impressed at the results lmao. Now all’s left is to draw a concept of Anne’s armour next.
My brain kept going “why does her helmet shape feel so familiar and protagonist-like?” then I realized
If you can’t vent to people the praise/hype (flaws and all) that is Shantae & The Pirate’s Curse after completing it for the first time, then the best thing you can do is draw fanart of your granddaughter the MC herself. Also let her monkey transformation wield a freaking sword plz Wayforward combine the pirate weapons and her spells as one.
I never posted this???? And it was made in 2016 and it’s now 2018?!? Time to fix that heinous error now that I have this picture back from the file-apocalypse (even IF the anatomy/design game feels weak now). Witchsona Doris made when the Witchsona hype was dropping a bit in 2016. She’s a plant witch who owns/guards/tends to The Woods and can be very cold and wrathful if you’re not something from her garden/arboretum, fellow witches might be her exception. Admittedly I was very much inspired from an artist senpai (aka. @the-stray-liger) who has a fucking baller Witchsona with the sickest of tattoos/aesthetic of a bloodmage like gd.
One reason this never got posted was cause it was supposed to come with a short story starring her, but, that kind of never got finished and after almost losing this picture to the tests of time (and to the tests of Apple fucking up its clientele) FUCK IT HERE’S JUST THE PICTURE ENJOY. Maybe one day I’ll work on / release the short story idk at this point but I still love her.
How many of you can recognize the plants in the picture? Admittedly only 4 plants in this picture aren’t “generic foliage” and are actually based on real plants cause I like using real plants in mah backgrounds if given the choice.
*Zooms into the Islands section since that was the last section worked on before the macbook crash last I remember cause why tf not*
The majority of these islands I have no memory as to how/why I named them as such (save for Broken Jaws, Wyko Accent and Dekidakidoki). Seems I also missed naming some islands. Also neat lil accidental tidbit; both Harriet and Terra’s home towns ended up in this cropped shot of the map, neat.
additional fact; the Atlantean Archipelago is compromised of islands primarily formed as continental islands; essentially it’s my own personal joke; The land was once one big chunk of the supercontinent before unusual circumstances lead to it falling apart and sinking into the ocean. Cause y’know, Atlantis sank in Earth mythology and all that.
