✨Desc✨ I was heavily inspired by Riko Sakari’s Figure You Out MV and made this :3 Highly recommend checking the video out on YouTube, it’s such a visual pleaser -- at least, in my opinion A lot of the assets here excluding the characters are stock images I downloaded online, if that wasn’t already clear enough lol. I was going for an aesthetic scrapbook kind of look here, and I saw that a lot of aesthetic scrapbookers tend to use a lot of screentones and seemingly premium(?) stickers when they scrapbook, so I also tried to replicate the sticker look by putting white borders around the thorns and roses I also wanted to imply that the drawings were all done on paper before getting “stuck” onto the canvas so I used a different brush to draw and texture them with. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out ngl Perhaps in the future I’ll make another one of these, because this was genuinely so fun to make akjsnlfkn

I’m finally introducing them formally 😭 Allow me to introduce you guys to Urian and Lake!! Characters a part of my cast in UnderSonas, my own UnderTale AU story and also Yale’s co-workers!

For the record, these may not be their final and actual designs… especially Urian.

Starting with Urian, he’s your typical, privileged rich boy around town. But it may surprise you to know that he wasn’t forced to work as a police man, he willingly chose this career path himself. It’s one of the few big decisions he was allowed to make for himself his whole life, considering the pressures and expectations he often has to endure from his family… and his girlfriend. His relationship with his girlfriend is complicated but undeniably toxic, but that isn’t the focus of this post for the time being :3

Urian argues with Yale often and they don’t get along, but surprisingly work well in the team. He often and openly expresses his disdain towards the General choosing Yale to be lieutenant instead of him, believing confidently that he’s more fit for the role than them. I’ve yet to explore this topic and dynamic more, but I think you guys understand how Urian and Yale bounce off of each other as characters.

Okay, Lake! I will admit, their design was heavily based off of Natichuan’s human Sonic design! I just thought it was really fitting to their character, especially since speed is their specialty. I also always pictured Lake to be a rather colourful character, often wearing neon / iridescent clothing because it’s a part of their aesthetic, and it also matches their cheerful personality. Other than that, I don’t have too much on Lake just yet, but I do know that they’d be a pretty outgoing person, making lots of friends and being liked by almost everyone around. It’s impossible to hate them, especially when they can be a very good friend AND a listening ear if you need it.

This was… a very experimental piece. I originally made this out of spite, but also as an opportunity to bring one of my imaginations to life. I was inspired by how clouds are illustrated in mangas / Japanese paintings and wanted to apply it to Autumn, whose semblance relates to fire and I just think it’d be cool for smoke to emit from her mouth when she uses her powers. Originally I planned to leave her hair and flames white, as manga is typically all in greyscale w black and white, but I tried putting in some colour and it still turned out well, so I kept it as is. Something about black and white drawings with a sudden splash of colour just makes me happy, scratches a part of my brain in a pleasant way or something

Oh and also, look who’s here in the same post! It’s Autumn’s dad. Oh my god after many years of having no design, I finally. Gave him a face.

Autumn looks and takes after her dad more than her mom. A lot of the things she does, like her clothing choices, weapon choices and fighting style are all inspired by him. And initially, she wanted to become a hunter just because her dad was a hunter. But now that he’s gone due to the Grimm, it’s all about justice, spite, revenge. And most importantly, making sure no other child has to lose their family just like how she lost her father.
