#fireling oc

My next contribution for @createforthra Day 2: Original Characters

We all know I have like a billion Ocs and we all have a general sense about who they are. So I introduce to you my Fireling Oc I created back when I was working as an after school art teacher. We saw a portrait sketch of her so here is a full body sketch.

I’ll admit that I haven’t read past vol. 1 of Power of TDC and don’t know too much about the Firelings but I wanted to share them because I was really happy with the pose and glowing effect.

Ember is a fun Fireling who is always ready to either put on a performance or spin a fantastical tale. Ember cannot sing unfortunately, if you asked her to sing you a song be prepared to cover your ears. It’s like hearing baby Mumble trying to sing his heart song in “Happy Feet.”

Idk if it’s just me but I feel like my Firelings are low key gonna look similar to my Grottans because of the eyes.

A Fireling OC concept sketch 🧡 Her name is Azara

Her look is inspired by Glasme from the Beneath comics. While I don’t like this series much at all Glasme is such a pretty character!

Beware that this is a tragic story.

I apologize for the length. I am neurodivergent, therefore I must over-explain everything.

[Apologies if I am disturbing you]

OH MY GOODNESS YAY!!! I don’t have much, but here’s some info about the gelfling relationships of the group:

Vel (dousan) and Wisp (stonewood) do not really get along well. They both gawk and argue over the most stupidest things (for example, Vel eating an unripe peachberry and Wisp yelling at him for it).

Jo (grottan) and Volcanafi (fireling) are lovers! They met when Jo was having an evening walk on the surface (might make some art about them soon!!).

Eril (vapran + stonewood) and Enila (grottan + vapran) are like platonic soulmates! They both love to bond over the differences of their clans and jest with each other.

Vel and Wisp are the first gelfling to ever meet Volcanafi on the surface. They don’t seem to tolerate him at first (since he’s made of fire), and try their best to stay far away from him. Later on, though, they accept Volcanafi as a friend!

Vel and Maleeni (dousan) are a couple! Vel vows to never let anything horrible happen to his beloved partner, and Maleeni does the same. They compliment each other quite well.

Now, let’s get into some more personal info about some of these little guys!! (totally not their loved ones dying.. ;) )

Wisp and Tayn (sifa) were lovers, before the “incident” happened. Wisp and Tayn were almost inseparable, they never wanted to leave each other’s sides. They did almost everything together, and they even planned to get married eventually. But, that was before Tayn had gone missing for almost a month. Wisp would desperately look everywhere for her lover, but would never find her. But alas, there was news from Tayn’s family, whom were too frightened to tell Wisp about what they’d found out. It seemed that Tayn was extremely ill. It would cause her to go pale, and her veins would glow a purple hue. This strange “illness” was surprisingly not contagious, since Tayn explained that she would “be going off to take care of herself, alone”. Her family only found out because Tayn’s mother went out one night and recognized a withering gelfling’s clothing. The “illness” had taken Tayn’s life. Of course, Wisp and Tayn’s family were devastated knowing they could not prevent her death. Even now, Wisp cannot fathom the information, and has spiraled into a deep depression.

Volcanafi was always a joyful childling. He would always be inspired by his mother’s words and everything she’d do. He always wanted to be just like his dearest mother Kinderlire, traveling on the surface world and learning many different cultures, just like the ones Kinderlire would talk about! Kinderlire raised her son to be a lover, not a fighter. She didn’t want him to be anything like his father at all. She wanted her only childling to be safe and out of harms way, but, she could barely stay out of harms way herself. When Volcanafi became 15 trine old, his aunt, Glowen had to tell him something important. Something that she couldn’t bring herself to tell him. Something she knew Volcanafi could not comprehend nor know how to deal with it: Kinderlire is dead. Gone forever, without a trace. Glowen knew this day would come, firelings could never survive long on the surface. But, she didn’t want to crush her nephew’s spirits about going to the surface once he was old enough, and tried to tell him that he was still always able to travel like his mother. Volcanafi doesn’t like disappointing his mother, and since she was now gone, he decided it would be best to always be happy, like his mother always wanted him to be.
