everytime I feel insecure about my drawings and have doubts about any improvement, I take an old piece of mine and re-draw it. it boosts confidence and motivates again...it just takes its time c: ---- “Narsha” OC by @narasya

just a little life sign of mine and for CN haha stay tuned for few changes and probably some news by Narasya herself! I want to make a little clarification, too. we got some recent fanarts and even an Étoile cosplayer! thank you guys for this overwhelming input! please have in mind that those little dots below EACH character’s eyes are related to my drawing style. ofc you may draw those or put them as makeup on too, however, I’d like you to know what they are. they aren’t freckles, which only two characters actually have (Zacharie & Camille, the twins) but part of my style and to add something odd to the creepiness, so to say c: if you ever happen to have questions, refer to the FAQ on @diaphanous-autumn or feel free to send us an ask there!

IMPORTANT message regarding the dev blog of Ciel Nocturne!! Narasya, the developer of Ciel Nocturne & Covert Downpour, had her complete dev blog deleted by a bad accident. She re-made everything, but if you followed her blog, you’ll have to do that once again. Don’t fave this entry, since we don’t achieve anything by that! Please reblog, spread and help Narasya get her ~600 followers again. Dev blog: @diaphanous-autumn

“There’s some weird stuff going on here, I tell you” - Noir & Étoile (Ciel Nocturne) step-by-step to this WIP I put the transparent version in here, too. You are not allowed to re-post and/or use it elsewhere without my permission, though

The Evolution of “Ciel Nocturne”s Étoile (from left to right) 1) The prototype. Alroundly created with the binary brush in Paint Tool SAI. It needed much improvement, since the eyes were widely spaced and there were no structures. 2) Eye gap got corrected, her face got improved a bit and shadows were made a bit darker to give the whole sprite some depth. 3) Re-made with the Pen tool in Paint Tool SAI. Colouration and face were changed again, everything got more structured with folds and improved shadowing. 4) A test-sprite. The previous sprite got a bit too “cute” and un-fitting for Ciel Nocturne’s eerie atmosphere. So it got completely overhauled. Black, scrawly outlines, red underlined eyes, that stare into one’s soul and darker, dirty looking colours. Étoile also grew a bit larger and became thinner, to create a less adorable, than creepy figure. 5) The sillhouette of the finished, animated product. I don’t intend to reveal it just yet...there wouldn’t be any surprise in the end. would it?

currently testing a new and animated talking sprite for CN. Work & real life don’t give you much time for creativity, ya know, so I deeply apologize for the lack of new artwork
