#voltarian

couple diov things that are atleast a month+ old, doodles of her parents and some sketches i did to relearn how to draw her/ touch up her design. her parents designs and lore are still being worked on but heres what i got for now if anyone is interested:

abt her mother, Vaga Bohn: worked as a mercenary then a bounty hunter, absent for most of Diov's life. Met Xavier while on the job on the same exploration vessel he was on. Never was one to stay in one place

Diov's father Xavier Nuul: worked as a security guard on exploration vessels. after Diov was born, he settled down and took up construction to provide for the both of them.

Design note- Frills on Xavier's back are pretty torn, he's pretty much balding. that and he overworked himself

♡ COMMISSIONS OPEN ♡

FINALLY. DIOV.

as with the rest, reintroduction ripped right from her artfight profile as i can only write once:

Diov Null/She/Her/Adult/Lesbian

Diov Null is a bounty hunter voltarian, often working alone. She's an efficient enough hunter and does whatever to get by. 

One not to throw the first punch but deal the final blow. Aloof, reserved, and quiet, she makes it hard for anyone to be close to her. As being close to anyone risks Diov getting hurt or worse.

OMG THANK YOU!!!!

and im still trying to figure out how to draw them myself </3 but i can sure try to help!

first things first: references. i find myself looking at Tronos' concept art and screencaps of the guy himself a lot of the time! and the wonderful toa archive also has a design path post for him with a couple more stuff!! i do encourage looking at that whole thing (source for the first image) (for 2nd image: Fury Galluzzi's site, direct link to her site for this specific image doesnt seem to work atm)

for general tips: i tend to heavily reference screenshots first when figuring out how to draw something/someone, then draw a unpolished sketch page of a character i can look back to later as reference as well. this stage is where i figure out what is the major features and what i dont want to keep and how i interpret the design. and breaking things down into shapes helps a lot!

ofc, tronos madu is the model here for anything for voltarian, thanks lizard man

a couple attempts.. ill get there in time and so will YOU.
