art trade for @high-lagaard.bsky.social !! thank you always for your patience 🥹🙏

#happysaintsheol #ハピセイ
A stylised illustration of Haku Eckaran (left) and Securett Rafe (right) from Happy Saint Sheol, standing hand in hand at a clearing amidst a dreary, bare forest. Haku keeps her eyes closed, a restful smile upon her face as Securett checks on her, holding her unlit lamp in his free hand. A heavenly glow beams from above them, casting the forest in a more approachable, if sad light.

My half of an art trade wtih @theblindarcher.bsky.social! When he mentioned that his OCs lived in a Zelda-inspired setting, my mind immediately went to cuccoos

#originalcharacters
A digital chibi illustration of theblindarcher's OCs Dane and Emelie, walking side by side in a town inspired by the architecture of Hyrule Town in Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Emelie leads Dane by the arm on a weathered cobble street, pointing toward a place of interest as cuccoos and chicks walk alongside them. Dane, already flustered by the close proximity to Emelie, also has a cuccoo nesting on the top of his head.

A square digital illustration of Hollow's OC, Pink. The young woman is dressed in full riding gear, with horns atop her helmet. She rides a motorcycle similar to the red motorbike from the film AKIRA. She casts a pink shadow onto the darkening cityscape behind her, interrupted by a stylised pink lightning bolt.

we watched #promare, so i did a warmup with lio! (1:30)

i learned a lot in blocking out light here on a dark surface. perhaps more could be done for his hair, but i'm satisfied enough with the composition that it doesn't bother me all that badly.
an a5 rough illustration of lio, illuminated by pink and blue flames iconic to the movie.

i wasn't so sure on how to tackle the piece, especially since i don't play CRK. the mod recommended we roll for a random page on the wiki, and the sled is what i got! i hope i was able to incorporate it well.

i finished 7d2020 last friday 😭
drawings were done ~late october, early november

#7thdragon #7thdragon2020 #セブンスドラゴン2020 #セブンスドラゴン
three full body drawings of my player characters for 7th dragon 2020. the following descriptions go from left to right: Zhan is the shortest, reaching past the middle of Koharu's sternum and the dip of Riki's shoulders. Her skin is relatively light with a warm undertone, and sports a mole on the lower left side of her lip. She has a cuff and chain on her right ear; though it's not seen on this picture, she has an industrial piercing on her left. Her dark orange hair is tied up, forming a five-petal-like ponytail with four "leaves" between each "petal." She wears a yellow bomber jacket with black trimming, a black undershirt, leggings worn under distressed denim shorts held by a purple belt, and a pair of red and white sneakers. For further protection, she wears knee guards and knuckle guards with white reinforced plastic covering the joints. Next, Koharu stands the tallest among the three. His skin is a bit darker than Zhan's and has cool, pinkish undertone. His blonde hair is brushed back with a black bandana worn over his forehead. He's dressed in a long sleeved purple shirt with ribbed knit cuffs at the end of each sleeve under a red and black shirt, dark green cargo shorts, purple knee high socks worn loosely over black slip-on sneakers. He also has a bright pink hard plastic backpack and three hip packs, so you can guess that his silhouette's kinda chunky. Unlike the original Hacker's blue interface, his interface is colored pink. Lastly, we have Riki! He reaches up to Koharu's browline and has darker skin with an olive undertone. His white hair covers the right side of his face. He wears a full-length aqua green raincoat decorated with white clouds and a sun on the hood, dark gray pants, and black shoes. various digital sketches and small paintings of (from right to left because i draw in that direction) riki, zhan, and koha. the first image has the first draft, with the following notes: * emphasize fluffiness because sharp will come from raincoat. * bigger/wet eye * nose is kinda boring as well as a draw over with red lines around his jawline labelled "too sharp" the second image was made in reference to the fashion model Priyanka Yoshikawa and the pleading emoji. the last image has a more rendered bust of riki with his hood up. the next character to be tackled is zhan. the notes beside her are "10.31.2024, i have no comments" and "11.01.2024, ayusin ang buhok." the notes are beside a rendered picture that is also under a pink light. below the rendered image is a colored sketch of zhan with her hair down, as well as quick sketch explorations of her ponytail, with one exploration taking inspiration from Regel's tulip (referenced from a Kazakh stamp). last, but not least, is koha, whose face was somehow easier to get satisfied with than his full body. i annotated this wtih "wtf why are you cooperating with me?" below him are a few explorations of how his hair looks like without the bandana.
