Drawing Among The Stars

Gonna be doing art fight again this year! The goal is 10 attacks during the month, so hopefully that's not too unrealistic!

Tfw you're doing a ton of world building for an oc of yours over the weekend and get inspired to go all out on an updated toyhouse profile for him! Kitsune are so much fun to draw c:<

I've been trying to get back into art recently and learn a few new tricks while designing a few OCs, and one of those attempts resulted in this: Pomberry the Astral Wolf, a result of a kind of collaboration between myself and @kaisertiger! The art itself is all Kasa's brilliant doing, but the coloring and design of Pomberry, version one as it may be, is my own~! <3

Pomberry holds a few links to a massive world and lore Kasa and I share, and serves as a guardian guiding light hailing from a distant lupine-based constellation. Each of her steps leaves stars and stardust in their wake, and when fully dressed up and decked out in accessories I'm still not sure how to draw, she carries a lantern that holds her Astral glow - her starlight - to help guide those souls she guards forward and through their troubles. She's also learned how to shift herself into a small, pomeranian-sized form for the sake of fitting in on the surface a bit better, and might just love to ride around in baskets and on her friends' heads as a hat-

If it's not been obvious from all this, Pomberry has become something of my mascot since this, and I do have plans for her going forward as my fursona/mascot/the face of me as the artist! Of course, Pomberry herself is also 100% an OC with a few elements similar to me, so not exactly a self-insert, so I'm gonna be calling her my mascot, for sure! <3

Another updated!Sera~! While the outfit may not stick - I do love her original outfit still a little too much to go replacing it anytime soon - I am having fun with her new design, enough so that I used this to try and do a 'version one' so to speak of Aria's appearance and colors along with the normal look for Sera/Aria... Ignoring I can't draw wings to save my life and those are not indicative of Sera/Aria's actual Fenix wings~!

Another Sera update- And this time it's a bit of a redesign with a new hairdo! Sera hasn't changed much in the over a decade I've had her around, and recently, I got the itch to redesign after realizing as much. Though I initially didn't want to - Sera is my baby among my OCs as well as one of, if not the, oldest, and changing things for her in general outside of her colors like I did previously was a kind of scary undertaking - I ended up rather enjoying the ideas I had for her, and a new look was thus born!

Been working on a few projects aside from writing of late, and one of them has turned into a log of my current characters and muses - A log that full on has gotten me back into art when I can't be by my laptop so I have something to pair with it! It's been slow going, but it's giving me a chance to update muses who have loooong since needed it... And one of those is my Sera.

Personally, I don't think I've ever quite been happy with her old colors, and I realized that when taking to my tablet for this headshot. They were too bright, too saturated, too... Bold, I guess? And while Sera is a bright kind of person, her previous colors were just a bit too bright! So with her new lore that's come into play these days, it was time to do a little changeup in the art department to better match how she's written - And better match her twin/older brother, too!

A surprise for @kaisertiger! <3 While I may not be as good at drawing fluffy floofs as she is by a MILE, that wasn't going to stop me from attempting to draw Ren, the sweet dork he is! I tried a headshot based on his sitting fullbody in the bottom left of his ref sheet here, as a big love you and everything you do to Kasa! <3

Another Genshin Impact OC, this time the Fatui Operative, Kagota!

Born and raised in Morepesok, Snezhnaya, Kagota has always been close to Childe - Then known better as Ajax - and the two have been utterly inseperable for most of their lives. Unfortunately, his falling into the abyss is just the beginning of a nightmare neither of them see coming, and Kagota joins the Fatui at 14 after feeling like she's lost her best friend so something she can't understand when he's finally found after his three days away.

However, Kagota remembers very little of her year of basic training, much of it empty space and gaps that brings with it pain and overwhelming emotions to get near, prompting her to try not to. Her memory doesn't returning to being a solid, secure thing until she's well into the age of 15, armed with an Electro vision, and killed a man, dealing with heavy trauma from a battle she can't remember. The once bright and bouncy child she'd been no longer existed - She was now a cold, snappy, lone wolf of a woman who had locked away her emotions to deal with the world around her, pushing everything away.

Everything, that is, aside from her stubborn childhood friend, whose determination to stay by her side no matter what leads to him being the first - and only, really - to settle back into her heart and begin unlocking her emotions, little by little, as they tumble into a relationship, a shared dream to take over the world, and a willingness to face the world together.

Now well into her 20's, she's been through more than most, fighting through several years under the command of Signora with none expecting her to survive, leading a unit of misfits, the loss of her harbinger, and being taken in along with her unit by Childe. She's happily married to her harbinger and, as of the end of the Fontaine archon quest, they have twin daughters and she's recieved a promotion to operative, making a name for herself as deadly force on the battlefield all on her own as a swordswoman.

Those who know her best, however, know her nickname of Heraldic Tempest might just be more than a nickname when her shadow seems to have touches of the abyss held deep within...
