This is Viv. She’s a guild member. I like her design but I don’t know much about her story. Currently, she’s a recipient of a fae-dragon deal. This grants her powers that are essentially pocket sand but with dream sand. Her powers require her to get close to people, so I figured she knew martial arts like Krav Maga. Maybe she’s part of the Guild’s secret services? If so, I might have to age her up. I like her casual look, it makes her look all innocent. I have no clue if her role in the story will be villainous or not. She’s meant to have gold decorations in her hair.

This is Helia Kuai, she’s Simon’s cousin. She’s also an assassin, like the rest of the family. I wanted to show her stern and prickly personality, so I made her hair spiky. I like the shape it makes but I’m also considering a ponytail for her because having loose hair isn’t practical for her job. I made her clothes simpler to contrast Simon’s theater kid look. I hope I got her grumpiness across.

This is Brinnslow’s Auntie Hima. I may have talked about Brinnslow in the past, all you need to know is that Brinnslow was separated from her family when she was young, and has body horror-themed powers. Hima has similar powers that she uses for destruction and revenge. I wanted to give Hima a plain red coat similar to Brinnslow’s, but I realized she’d contrast Brinnslow better with more classy and stylish clothing. With spikes, of course. I would give her aviators but I don’t like drawing sunglasses. It was cool drawing someone who is older. I think I made Hima to be in her 40s?

First post of the Winter Semester everyone! Here’s Tove, she’s a side character in my story. She starts off as an office worker before becoming an employee in a magical casino. This is mostly her casino outfit. I tried to make her vest fancy, but also easy to draw. I liked how I gave her black bell bottoms because it made her silhouette interesting. I tried to pose her in ways that showed her cheeky personality.

Here’s an earlier Tove piece I did under the readmore.

So this is Yim Bollidae. Some may recognize this person as Yarrow Archimille from a year or so ago. They’re Yim now, as well as a Fae-Dragon.

I wanted Yim to have this elflike Fred Astaire-esque quality to them. Very ties-and-tails. I didn’t want them to look too flashy, because for most of their story they’re in travel clothes. I tweaked their collar to show their closed-in personality, and dabbled with their horn decorations. I wanted time to have glass horns with spiked piercings that could be seen through the glass, but I imagine it would be time-consuming to draw. I’m debating removing them.

For the supposed main character of my story I never really drew Simon, or Syme as he used to be known as, a lot. Which is a shame because he’s a really fun character to draw.
