Drawing on occasion

Amaris of course👏👏

I find her personality pretty relatable

Her design’s a little more unique than her sisters I think, but I like drawing her (tbh I should draw her more often, she’s super cute🙂‍↕️)

Every once in a blue moon I don't draw Phaneual or Phan🙂‍↕️ totally don't have sketches of them elsewhere

As much as I like how straight up awful she is as a person, there's also the way she desperately clings onto the lifestyle of the Thumb so profoundly that it impacts her even after she's been disgraced by them and disowned from her own family. Whatever she did to lose her high rank in three days is a huge mystery, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were simply a matter of disrespect since that's something the Thumb is a huge stickler for. ANYWAY I've read a few other headcannons about the way she treats both Lucio and Ryoshu and how it's a reflection of her own upbrining. I kind of like this idea mainly because if that were true, then it'd make sense in her own mind to continue the pattern based on how she's turned out. I mean she thrived in the war- even if it was a desperate attempt at getting back in the Thumb's good graces- and she was briefly ranked in the second highest position of her syndicate. Sure she'd got a relic that makes her untouchable, but there's no doubt she's a formidable opponent. And if Lucio (or also Ryoshu at the time) could get around that same level, then it'd only further help her in her own goal of getting back in the Thumb's good graces. It's really just a sad spiral of Valencina trying to reach her peak again, even if her methods are desperate and harmful to herself.

Even if we don't get too much more info with her Rodion ID, it's still interesting to speculate

I thought she was also a nice foil- with Gregor having been on the opposing side of the Smoke War. I think my favorite scene with her either had to be the first scene we see with her and little Ryoshu, or just the battle against her since that was both sick and and

Her voice is lovely and her voice actor did amazingly; I love the Thumb's uniforms and their group as a whole; her background is interesting to me and I wanna know everything there is to know about her; also her and Lucio's theme is so freaking tuff

I've been saving for her ID since Rein dropped, how in the world hasn't she gotten her's yet 😭😭. Still debating on showing the other doodles, but this is all for now. They're from last month, but yk

And then I take a century of trial and error to finish

I had something sketched out for this, but I kept being reminded of this image so I scrapped it lowk 💀💀💀

Originally, she was gonna be completely flat in the 'water' but as I was rendering, I decided to poke the head out and it looked kind of cooler that way

I originally was going to do two versions where it was night and parts of his body were invisible (Ya know bc cheshire cat and whatnot)

but i never finished it so

tiktok comment sections have funny reaction reference-

I was compelled to draw the first one as Phan immediately after giggling and shiggling over seeing the original image (it was funny with the context of the video i swear-)

Moral of the story: Direct references makes everything easier...

Yippieee!!

Redesigns lowk made it easier to draw Carey

Dont think ive ever drawn Nikolai in this style, but i'm happy with how she turned out
