Artist In Work

It's been way too long since I last drew him. Thing is, I always feel like I can't do him enough justice. Like, Pino is just so pretty—how do I capture that? qwq Anyway, I tried &I am a little happier with his face this time.

+I cheated a little with Gemini; I just couldn't bring myself to draw the intricate swirls &stuff framing the cricket symbol. so I just copied&pasted this part &worked it into my artwork best I could . . . sorry if it looks lazy. ówo

That being said, I'm kinda nervous to share her, but also happy that I sat down to finalize her design at last. :3 I've been harboring a majority of my ideas for her since September 2023 &my second playthrough. At first, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to go anywhere with these ideas, but several runs later, here we are.<3

Fiammetta is a pretty personal OC, as I process some trauma through her story (I won't eleborate which parts specifically, though). Also, I gave her brown eye(s) in memory of my Papa.🤎 She later gets a 2nd eye-color for the blind eye (because I like giving my OCs heterochromia) but I'll explain this on a separate post another time. c:

+some trivial facts:

her real name is Elisabetta; she ditched it when she left the Malum District, going by the nickname her mother gave her instead

Fiammetta means 'little flame' -> she has a strange fascination for fire, always carrying a Fire Abrasive with her

her weapons are unique to her &were made by the Eccentric

the bandana she wears is an homage to Varian's (TTS) s3 ep1 outfit

As I teased I would, I bring you a witch/wizard AU of Varashi this year.

They are having a little race &Lashanie probably has to save her Varian from a crash landing at the end. :3💚🩵

I have been considering what to do for their outfits for quite a while (like making Lashanie entirely flower-themed), but went with somewhat more 'typical' styles in the end. I just felt it would fit better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, am quite happy with the pose &general composition of this art, but I really need to get good at drawing backgrounds/environs. (what an ambitious scheme after almost 7years of doing this, know.lol)

So, sorry that the show bg kinda takes away from the picture. >v<

🧡🖤 Have a fun &safe night. 🖤🧡
