Whoops I forgot to actually upload this as soon as I’d finished it. I saw a photo of a master sommelier sniffing wine with his pinky in the air and it was so hilarious that I had to draw my own version of it, so Ris, Soulfear, and Freik took on their sommelier personas once again (this is the first time Freik gets to play somm!). Freik kind of got squished at the end though, and when I tried to redraw it to give him more space, I ran out of focus and the whole thing turned out terrible, so I stuck with this version.
Why did I give Freik a shot of whisky instead of partaking in the enjoyment of some barolo? I have no idea lol
Just a colour comparison in this post! The original Yverrine drawing pre-dates 2018 but I’ve been happy with the pencil versions through the years, so this is just reflecting on how she looks in colour, since these are the only two versions I have. I would still like her to have a few more leaves than what I drew in this time, but she lost the extra tendrils and leaves over the iterations of her design. I think in this case, simpler is better! She looks crosseyed in the 2023 colour, because I’m still bad with faces.
I managed to get more shine and saturation in compared to Ris’ panel, but the wood armour is lacking depth and definition.
Maybe I’ll get to work on her again in a few years!
Yes this is a very shoddy edit of the panels, I didn’t try too hard and was just checking to see if the format worked. The end goal is to colour this! But we’ll see if I ever get that done since it feels like it’s a big project and I still don’t have enough skill and patience.
Have I posted with a “Life the Ethereal” title before?
This one is technically called Life, the Ethereal, but I’m hoping it will be a four panel series with my other Ethereals! Am I ambitious? Yes I am, at the worst time too! I just started playing Hades again and it’s a time sink and distracting me!
I wasn’t sure if this sketch would work out, I feel like I should now always draw Diadresca in her skeleton form, but it’s so challenging! And then I wrecked Tohmiel lol.
I didn’t actually intend for this drawing to turn out how it did! I walked through an underpass lately with a “post no bills” sign and thought to myself, I should draw something that has that poster in the background. The vibe of it had to be similar to this world, so it ended up being Arridon. At first I thought maybe Irutha would be the one waiting here, but I’ve been drawing plenty of her, so the next best fit was Makrie. Why not bubble tea! That idea came after. I’m not even sure the world has bubble tea. Then I thought, this should have more meaning than just a random drinking bubble tea in an underpass. So, I figured, there should be graffiti. Meaningful graffiti, and considering I am still in a “the pigeons are drones” phase, it would be fitting for there to be messaging about taking down the government or something. So after a quick Google crash course on how to do graffiti fonts (I really hate artception; tattoos and graffiti and the like are so difficult to make up on the spot!), I went with the phrase “blind the drones”, meaning hide from the pigeons. But I still need an artist tag or something, right? So there was another piece that was meant to be on here for “see no eyes”, but maybe that’s the signature left on the original graffiti – it’d just be “SNE” and it’d be roughly behind Makrie’s head. The final decision to be made was whether or not the whole wall was made of bricks, and I really didn’t want to draw that, so it’s just concrete!
Making an actual full piece with background is so difficult ugh!
I’ve been too afraid to try this drawing even though I’ve wanted to for a while. There’s this fear that I won’t capture his likeness, and the main mission – drawing hands! These hands are hard! But it’s a style of hands that I’ve not drawn before and it was my main focus.
Everything about this drawing was impossible lol. What are abs and how do I draw them??? Also I don’t think those are his final tattoos; I am simply terrible with tattoo design and ideas because that’s art on art and that’s too much art for me!
I’m so productive when it comes to drawing when I’m not busy playing games or doing other extra curriculars! This is the Makrie version of The Beginning of Humanity. Except I forgot that I’d called Irutha’s version what it was, which is why I thought this was the number 2 version of it. Oh well!
This picture occurs at the exact same time as Irutha’s version – they are in separate locations looking up to see the Inserendis weapon fire. For Irutha, she knows it represents the beginning of humanity. For Makrie, it marks the end of her life as an android, and after the event, wakes up as a full human.
