"She hates you"
Yeah that checks out-

The design is, again, really great. I really like how your were able to create multiple beautiful characters without falling for Same Face/Body syndrome, they are all unique and recognizable. It's a real creative skill ! Well done !

A thing I've seen that can explain it in some cases is that work becomes the primary social environment, especially if work is IRL.
They yap with their coworker at the coffee break, they make friend, go to the bar...
And because of that their social battery is empty by the time they can post online

None of my worlds are full on dystopias, but they are still flawed. As such, it's not uncommon for my OCs to wish to make things better, slowly realizing that the only way to do that is through collective actions, some small, other big, revolutionary even.

(I'm French, how did you guess-)

Agrat maybe only have Naamah as a parent, but she does have siblings in the hundreds, an entire species of them even.
In fact, restrictions had to be put in place for when she fight in the Pit or Ares's Crimson Colosseum, otherwise her family/fan club would just fill most of the seats-

Guys, how many Uno reverse cards can use before the deck is fully depleted ?

Always a blast to see your work in my timeline, always makes me smile !

She looks absolutely amazing. I really like the mix of design element (snake + flowers)
It really soften the all character, it's lovely.

These damn bolchevics and their satanic "color theory".
Back in the good old days, everything was in black and white with a massive amount of grain, and the world was better for it!

Sarcasm aside, this is just really REALLY dumb. I guess grifters really have no bounds-

Well, it's going to be interesting seing other people's processes like that!
I'm Slin and I draw as a hobby
My sketching process is chaotic and every changing from one piece to the next. (In other words : idk what I'm doing-)
But often it goes :
Draft > Sketch and/or Line > All the rest

A rough draft with some design research and thumbnails

Some cleaner lines (half of them are gonna be erased later-)

The finished piece :

A woman with white eyes, flowing straight black hair, a loose white shirt and a red dress held together by some heavy rope.
She is holding a candle cast in glass like a lantern, and a skull is floating above her otehr hand.
Half of her head and upper body is gone, melted like wax. Said wax is dripping.
She appear to be floating.

The painting used as a reference is also shown : "Magdalene with the Smoking Flame" by George de La Tour, 1642)

I have a ton of character in dire need of an update as I'm learning new stuff in art, one drawing at the time.
A lot of my characters are inspired by myth and history, but also sometimes classic piece of arts.

Glad to have a place to yap about them, and see people yap about their own !

A fantasy reimagining of the classical painting "Girl with Pearl Earing" by Vermeer.
Here she have an armor under her clothes. She also have a huge flail like weapon resting one her shoulders but with a massive pearl dangling from the chain. She is looking somewhat pissed off.
Her name is written in the background : Parel, the Crystal Paladin.

A character sheet representing Bloody Mary. She appears as a lady with pure white skin, crimson hairs and deep black eyes. She wears a toga partially colored in blood. She have a massive narcissus flower pin on her shoulder. Her face is cracked like a mirror. She is smiling. She is also emerging from a physical mirror at her feet.

On the side are a bunch of head turns and a chibified version of herself waving a trans flag.

There is also a background capsule reading :
"When beautiful Narcissus felt in love with his
own reflection and was metamorphosed into a flower by mysterious divine means, few paid
attention to the clear waters under his roots.
His reflection, tragically cut from its source, was forced in that cruel twist of fate to develop a sentience of its own.
Cruel, yes, that is the word, for all she could feel was the cold infinite darkness trapped behind every mirrors.
Forgotten by Gods and mortals, only able to exist when one would look into their own reflection, she survived, molded by the legends her scattered sightings ended up birthing all over the Realms.

But when her tales piqued the curiosity of Anansi, the Master of Stories, and he spoke her name thrice in the dead of night, she was finally able to break free from her prison of glass after nearly 3000 years.

She is eager to form the human connections she observed longingly from the other side all of these years. However, even though she is extremely extraverted, her creepy appearance, her lack of understanding of the concept of privacy as well as her broken social cues makes her journey out of loneliness still very much a work in progress.
But she is trying her best !"

A character sheet of an OC Yuki Onna, the Last Frost Spirit.
She appears as an almost uncannily slenderish woman with pale blue skin. She wears a blue kimono that is cut in a way as to frame her head entirely.
A snowflakes can be seen on her belt. She is also floating above the ground. Her dark hairs are extremely straight and goes all the way to her feet.
Her design is almost perfectly symmetrical.

On the right side of the sheet, we can see multiple angle of her head, showing her owl like nose.

There is a cartouche containing the following text :
"When the Pantheonic Accords were signed, many lower mystical beings, now forbidden by law from using their powers on the Neutral Earth, decided to go back to their native Realms.
“Why stay when we can’t even have fun with the Sapiens anymore?”

“For peace and quiet.” she responded as the rest of her kind left the frozen mountains of Japan.

Yuki Onnas were not known to be social animals to begin with, but she was in a league of her own.
A true hermit who came to this plane not for the freedom, but for the silence.
While her sisters were tricking or helping the humans of this universe, she was content with staying in her little abode, hidden behind the snow, enjoying the sound of the cold wind and the noise of the frozen nature.

And now, with the accords, even her kin would not bother her anymore.
That’s when an unwanted visitor started to appear, behind her reflection on the icy walls, the woman who would change her forever.
But not before annoying her for years that is-"

"The Vanitas, said to have been forged by Death herself, are dangerous artefacts who might not consume the mind of their warlocks, but do devour their body.
Slowly. Inexorably.
A ticking clock for a lot of power, a good deal for those who wants- no : NEEDS one thing done."

Ooohhh !
I'll see if I have proper candidates for these new poses tomorrow then, as I didn't found good ones for the witches poses.
But please don't overwork yourself !

Slinaro, Art and Baguette @slinaro.bsky.social · 12d

Arg, I do have witches OCs who would have been perfect but all of them are in the group of "Haven't been drawn in ages and absolutely need a full redesign". Not sure the up to date OCs would work either-
The pain.
The tragedy.

Still gonna share this around, to get more eyes on it ! Good luck !
