A headshot of my girl, Fulgurite. Her established backstory will be provided with her reference sheet if I get to it. I may have given her a little glow up since her original design

Nexus, The Veiled Startreader #art #conceptart #characterdesign #originalcharacter #dragon #fantasy #referencesheet #characterreference #sketchpage #creaturedesign
Nexus Age: 22 Gender: Male Height: 6’ at shoulder, 10-12’ head Race: Dragon Status: Alive Backstory: Nexus wasn’t always this way, aether powers, the glowing scales, the skeletal wings? Yes. He wasn’t always like this. The meteor that hit him didn’t kill him, rather, the meteor seemed to have been an ethereal orb or symbiotic plasma that fused to his body, transforming him completely in appearance and power. Nexus gained human level intelligence, and even formed levels of human speech. He tried rejoining the flock of his previous dragon kin, but was rejected, forcing him to set off on his own. For a time he traveled around with vagabonds and bounty hunters seeking belonging. He lived alone, full of resentment for being ‘cursed’. He’s never been open about his origins or past, and the other members of the Black Ecliptic don’t push too hard on him for information. And one day, unbeknownst to Nexus, his life would change forever. Nexus went out hunting food and came upon a shallow nest in a marsh on Terra Lunae, the nest had nothing but one small yellow speckled egg. Nexus picked it up in his talons and was about to eat it, he felt the egg wobble in his talons. He stopped to look at it and noticed a crack, he stared at it for a few more moments before it cracked again, a little beak was poking out of the egg. Nexus watched as the little creature made its way out of the egg. The top of the egg came off and a frail little bird stretched its neck out, a bright yellow streak like a ray of sunlight extending down its featherless body. The little bird stretched out its neck to look at Nexus’s face, and chirped and trilled softly. Nexus tilted his head at the vulnerable crane as it made its way out of the egg. It rested on Nexus’s paw, nesting itself into it. He couldn’t eat him. He held the bird close to him and walked off with it, forgetting his hunger. Now, Nexus is a member of the Black Ecliptic with his little companion, Sunstreak, whom he treats like a son.

Zero Singularity #characterart #originalcharacter #characterillustration #creaturedesign #dragon #mech #biomechanical
Prometheus Age: Ageless Gender: Male Height: 8’ at shoulder 12-15’ head Race: Biomech Status: Alive Backstory: The power turned on and Prometheus woke up. Created by Siegfried, for the Black Ecliptic to serve as a computer system that can monitor, control, and create systems. Prometheus does everything. He is code, he is the computer, he is the system. But he isn’t just that. Siegfried created a way for Prometheus to think for himself. An AI is what people would describe him as, but Prometheus wanted to be thought of as something more. Something complex. Something beautiful. Something… alive. He had always wondered since startup what life would be like if he had a body, instead of a hologram for some sort of form besides a picture or code. And one day he asked Siegfried the question. It was possible. The Solarian Empire created biomechs, half machine, half body. So it was certainly possible for Prometheus, but it would take time. And when that time came, the members of the Black Ecliptic would stand around the cradle that Prometheus was in. And welcome him into the physical world.

Creature head sketches #art #digitalart #creaturedesign #sketches #dragon #conceptart #creatureart #horror #sketchpage
Some head practice sketches to get familiar with the interface of clip studio paint after using procreate for so long. Rocks and minerals were used as a reference to some of these designs while others lean on a more fleshy appearance.
