Existence is Suffering! And I'm stuck livin in it!

Lookie here! A whole batch of redesigns comprised mostly of Ifrits. I actually did these character's designs over a year ago, but I decided to breath some extra life into them.

Aad'Sol - I only drew the hound's head last time I designed these guys, so I drew them in their full glory this time.

Vivienne Al'Jabaan - For the rider character (I call the two of them Ruff Ride btw) I changed their colors and outfit to match with the others more. A lighter outfit makes it more reasonable for the hellhound to carry them around.

Aster Al'Jabaan - Ember didn't change much from a year ago except for simplifying her armor a bit and changing her weapon into a more portable double glaive that can be split in two.

Lavender Aileen Sanheo - For Torch I buffed her up a little, messed with her colors to match with the others, and gave her some more prominent scars.

Story notes that I've condensed down -

Aad is one of the last living hellhounds in existence. He's a bit of a downer but he never let's himself drag Vivienne down into the same pits of depression.

Vivienne is the youngest. Brash and reckless with a thirst for adventure. A real headache to their great aunt Aster and caretaker Aad. They get along great with Lavender though.

Viv was raised by their great aunt after an ice dragon attacked the Spirit Blooms and killed their family.

Aster is the oldest of the ifrits. She's abrasive and cynical, worn down from watching her people's numbers slowly diminish throughout the years. She's wary of Viv's friendship with Lavender. She thinks the blacksmith's a bad influence.

She used to have the same energy as Vivienne, but betrayal and responsibility beat that out of her a long time ago.

Lavender is a passionate and optimistic young woman despite her scars. She lost a hand? Make an attachable flamethrower! Lost your Grandpa? Make sure his efforts are never forgotten! She will always find the silver lining.

Here’s a couple of my concept sketches.
