Oops missed a month (random rambles)
I told myself I would make at least one blog post for every month this year... my bad... failed that already.. see you all in 2026. But anyway I wanted to make another blog post before I forgot.
I actually wrote an entire mountain on Kai Mutsmi (Jack Jeanne) and got kinda carried away with it and forgot to continue, so I'll probably cut out a huge chunk from that and post it another time :P On the topic of JJ, I just have 2 routes left to do (Fumi&Kisa) which are arguably some of the most interesting routes. I've been really into my OCs and regrettably FFXIV again so I've put JJ on the back burner for a while :,(
Omg.. I will continue the FFXIV ramble after I tak about my OCs but I'm very happy with 7.2 so far!
AQUAMARINE
(It's
a work in progress... they're just floating heads... when I get lazy
with lineart I put down some flats to motivate myself like, "hey look
how much better it looks with colour... keep lining and it'll look
better")
If you aren't familiar with my OCs, the guy on the left
is Alba and the lady on the right is Nina. They work at Aquamarine (also
the title of my OCverse) which is a facility that floats on top of the
ocean because the world flooded 200-something years ago. This drawing
idea spawned from the Art Fight spring prompts
where one of them is "clover", so I wanted to draw Nina putting a
clover necklace onto Alba. Alba is a superstitious freak, so he looks to
lucky charms for protection against his supposed "bad luck". Why not
draw some proper oc stuff and also get a free art fight badge?!
If you were wondering what kind of relationship Nina and Alba have, it's something or another... You can probably tell from their expressions a little...
I
actually drew two other thumbnails for the Art Fight thing that I quite
like, but I have a problem where I spend too much time on thumbs so I
don't know how to continue with the drawing process. I have a better
grasp now though because I've decided I want to work on lineart again..
I've been avoiding it for ages x(
(It's
Aquamarine's divers!!!! Dolly and Alba!!! For a little bit of
background, diving is a common occupation in Aquamarine-verse since the
world flooded and there's a lot of water. Can you guess which diver has a
happier life? .... But yea I'll try to finish these this month if I
don't get lazy :P)
I have been really enjoying building my OCs, it takes a surprisingly long time for me to develop stuff but it's super fun. I recommend trying to make your own OCverse if you ever get bored. I actually wouldn't have Aquamarine if I wasn't forced to make something for my college final project last year so I have to thank college a little... I'll admit I didn't find my time at college that fufilling, but it definitely got me out of my comfort zone and making things.
I've
also been trying my hand at writing but it's totally 100% self
indulgent crap LOL. I need to read more books to get a better grasp at
writing, but also I need to read more in general. I recently did that reader quiz
(try it! It's quick and gives you book recs) and got purple reader.
I'll take a look at the recommendations it gave me sometime..
FFXIV
Okay I'm going to talk about spoilers ok. 7.2 SPOILER WARNING! INCLUDING ARCADION! Look away if you care...!!!!!!!!!!
