#cautious origin

I've kind stopped just.. drawing whatever I feel like, ever since I got too serious about my worldbuilding, which isn't working!!! so I'm tryna break out of that! this page was fun to draw, *and* I was able to get some Tetracosm influence in there with some of these designs. If I made more fun stuff like this for the Tetracosm, I'd be happy honestly. These are all traditionally colored (markers) except the gorgon lady, who was digitally colored. She's actually a redraw of a design I posted to IG years ago!

A very recent (for once!!!) drawing of Naples, and a slightly different take on him, a bit more lanky and "alien" was the intent.. I think trying to draw him as accurate to his modern design as I can would be a good prompt for next time :> I do sometimes play with my designs a bit, and it's interesting to see how things drift and exaggerate whether intentionally or not.

They weren't dated, but my guess is they're from '22, mainly because I know the last two designs are from back when I was still designing my sona, and I didn't finish that process until '23. In my eyes, these do show their age; I draw Naples and Crann way differently these days, but I dunno.. when I took them out, I was endeared to them. (Not usually my reaction to my old art.) It's evident from the first one that drawing felt like a struggle back then just like it can now, but here I was, still drawing my characters despite it.. which is something I've still meant to do more often. Normally I wouldn't have shared these. But.. if ever there were a time to go against unhelpful habits, right? (ó‿‿o)

Some current art of Naples for comparison with the previous post :p
