Deleting this later but I’m sharing my first passes of Enzo cause he’s made of my favorite fish
I want him to be glowy like those bioluminescent plankton, sometimes giving him freckles, but also just casually sometimes pulsing with color. Specific descriptions in the alt ^^
Anyways he’s a sleezy fellow who would totally scam you and steal your wallet, only to pull the “did you lose this >:3” magic trick later. Asshole. lol
Update: he’s also a hoarder, chronic dragon hoarding urges
If any of you know / remember Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, I’m trying to channel what I remember about Swaine but like.. Swaine when he’s on your team. But also I haven’t played that game in 10+ years so I could be wrong lmaO

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."
Edit: Critical Thinking Questions
Imagine as many different scenarios as you can where a person might tell someone "aros can still date" or "aces can still have sex." Pick two or more of these scenarios to compare. Does the meaning of these phrases change in different contexts? Do you think every speaker of these phrases has the same intent?
Do you think the topic of this post is an "aroace community" issue, or an "asexual community and aromantic community" issue? Do you understand which one of the above is a broader category?
Imagine a scenario in which an aromantic allosexual might be told that "aromantics can still date." In that context, would that phrase be affirming or delegitimizing? Repeat, but imagine a scenario in which an alloromantic asexual might be told that "asexuals can still have sex." In that context, would that phrase be affirming or delegitimizing? If you would like, you may now revisit your answer to Question 2.
Do you think "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever they want forever" is contradictory to the statements "asexuals can have sex" or "aromantics can date"? If so, then why? If not, then why might OP prefer the phrasing of "do whatever they want forever"? What might "do whatever they want forever" encapsulate that the other statements do not?
Many users are relating this post to fandoms' treatment of asexual and/or aromantic fictional characters. Do you think people's views of real-life a-specs can influence their treatment of a-spec fictional characters? Conversely, do you think their views of a-spec characters can influence their treatment of real a-spec people?
Is the treatment of real a-spec people or of fictional a-spec characters more important? For the category that you considered less important, do you think the treatment of that category is ever relevant or related to how the more important category is treated? (You may reference your answer from Question 5.) Compared to the more important category, how much discussion do you think the less important category deserves? Do you think it may ever be relevant or important to discuss on posts about the category OP sees as more important?
You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.
You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT.
I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.
I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.
I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.
I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.
I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.
Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?
I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

I love Noelle very much and I have a lot of thoughts and headcanons on her, but I have no idea on how to explain them with my words so I just drew an art with her :P
↠ I wholeheartedly adore how this came out- and am honestly doubtful I'll ever manage something like this again. But here it is- a fully-rendered version of this rough sketch, which also turned into a bit of a redesign, along the way! Sort of a blend of aesthetics from The Witcher, GoW IV, and GoT. Also- please note that there's some discoloration, since I had to compress the massive original file to a post-capable JPG.
As for my thoughts, I'll just ctrl+v some of the blurbs from my previous posts- feel free to ignore my character and art technique ramblings, if you've read them previously.
Wriothesley has absolutely, unabashedly reached my top 3 in terms of Genshin characters, overall- right after Zhongli and Kazuha! That being said, if there's a single character that I think is closest to me in personality, it's absolutely this man.
The acknowledgement of past wrongs (though not as severe as his) and the concepts of redemption, tempered rage, and self-acceptance are things that I've intensely pursued, for most of my life. Trying to find your place in the world- and then considering that being an outsider could be a strength- is also a realization that I've been slowly coming to terms with. Not to say that I've got life figured out- but it's a semblance of solid ground, and that's certainly a reasonable start.
In terms of art techniques for this piece, if there's a particular thing I vehemently hate most with painterly style/brush heavy character art, it's the tendency towards completely flawless skin. As such, I've made a conscious effort to include flaws (freckles, acne marks, discoloration, sun spots, lip cuts + not dulling down his scars) because to me, it makes the character feel more relatable and alive. Plus, so-called imperfections can actually look really beautiful. So I really hope that effort shows, here!
