- Indignus, Dragon Quest XI

Posting a bunch of sketchbook pages from the past month or so. Mostly notes and ideas for original characters including the Fabricians and Dreamons. Sketchbook is good for me to figure out anything from worldbuilding to body types.

I talk about Oranhamme a lot but dont give enough love to his siblings. Here are some of his family. Yelloneus: Dreamon of the color Yellow. Responsible for daydreams. Seems happy and cool but actually is very afraid of many things. Indignus: Dreamon of the color Indigo. Responsible for Nightmares. Doesnt mind his job but is bitter about never receiving any recognition. Turned spiteful. Blubert: Dreamon of the color Blue. Responsible for Lucid Dreaming. The calmest of the bunch and very thoughtful. Also the smallest which often means people dont listen to him. Chartrand: Dreamon of the color Chartreuse. Responsible for Insomnia. Party animal that encourages others to live it up a lil too much. Enjoys folks cuttin loose and getting wild. The designs arent finalized nor are they to scale but Im getting them slowly to where I want them to be.

{Though the metal of the blade is worn with age and years, its edge has not dulled in sharpness. Trusted and faithful it has stayed by my side, though no longer literally it is always with me in spirit. Once used for repelling the demons that sought out my home, now used for embracing them fully, for giving them the blood they demand like a babe for his mother’s breast. I feel the flesh underneath my firm hands, the wooden hilt replaced time and time again but the blade… the blade remained. It is a part of me as I am a part of it. A contract for my soul written in blood and ink, upon the leathery skin of a hide forever carved into time and existence itself. A contract to serve all of my mortal years, and for as many years as they required me after. I never expected them to keep me under their thumb for so long. Not that I mind.}
