and eridan with the press

"Promise me you won't go on about the landdwellers at the conc)(ference, okay?"[five seconds later]"does your opponent deserve such abuse?""all landwwellers deservve abuse."

fef throws her hands up in frustration

and the mutual antagonism between freddie and anatoly for most of the matches would be hysterical with sollux and eridan because god damn does anatoly sass about freddie constantly

"iit iis hard two rebut ever growiing 2u2piiciion2 my oppo2iitiion’2 a NUT."

and same with solfef

Rose Lalonde, Derse/Black Queen

Roses design is more elaborate than those of most others, simply because she holds the rank of Derse Queen. It's a mixture of her black squiddles dress and her dreamer outfit, with armwarmers and some detail added.

I'm not quite sure which crown to give her - there are four designs, the tiara-headband thingy, the two circlets, and the blindfold. The tiara-headband is closest to her original design, with the headband, while the fourth with the blindfold touches upon the (Blinded) Seer we see in Homestuck. The other two are mainly there to have a complete aspect symbol version to choose from.

This time, the only sketch version shown is the revised one - I couldn't find my first design, but it's really mostly her black squiddles dress, which was quickly revised into the one shown now - I just redid the sketch with some details.

This is currently the most elaborate design, even Vriska's doesn't quite reach it. On that note, ouch my hand hurts. I really love how it turned out, though! Also ugh, drawing hands >>_<< I'm getting better at that though! These two were done much quicker than they would've been half a year or a whole year ago.

chessstuck designs are in essence dreamer designs, for the two moons play against each other, but each include the character’s aspect and their personal symbol.

Kanaya Maryam, Prospitian/White Bishop, Space/White Tiles

Derived from the German term for Bishop, ‘Laeufer’, which means runner, the design is based on a messenger, someone who runs, thus the wings on her boots, unobstructed leg movement, and bag. The wings are based on those of her Mother Grub.

Jade Harley, Prospit/White Rook, starts on black/space tile (a1)

the rook design basically stayed the same. A breastplate with the moon, a slit skirt with the aspect symbol on the centrepiece, and a veil thing with the personal symbol on the back. We went for a tower-esque look for the headpiece, since the rook's german term is 'turm' - tower. they are advancing walls of doom.

Aradia Megido, Derse/Black Bishop, black/time tiles

After long silence, another concept art! I had the sketches ready since late summer, but nanowrimo preparation and university gobbled my time.

the bishops underwent a great redesign, as is plainly visible between the two sketches - one over a year old, one relatively recent - while the bag, winged shoes, and aspect symbol location stayed, the overall outfit changed. it looks less maid-like in aradia's case, less based on her class (even though i kept the pants form), and she 'lost' the wings on her back. and, as you can see, the bootwings are actually based on her god tier wings in the finished picture.

face and hands gave me great trouble.

the bishops' design is based on the german term for it, laeufer, which means runner. we wanted a messengery feel, hence the bag, and put the aspect symbols on the legs, which are elementary for running, in addition to giving them outfits they could easily run in. the running aspect also plays in the wings on their boots.
