Psssst… you wanna see four of my favorite pages from the two chapters so far?
This first post is Ch. 1. I feel that 99% of my art is just wild expressions. I also apologize for the sketch color choice 🥲

So I like popsockets.
Did I just discover that I can create a custom case? Yes. Did I also create a custom pop? Yes.
Will I have people asking me “who is that on your phone case?”
ABSOLUTELY.
What pictures did I pick?

Is it… are these… MORE OCS FROM #theelementals???? Yes. These are agents a part of the Alliance who serve in Forseth’s special unit (basically his direct squad). Yara, Killian, and Caster are mentioned more, but they’re all there.
You get one guess as to who I ship. #someonetowafchoverme

It’s time for another character from #theelementals / #someonetowatchoverme
This is Haniel! She’s an angel serving in the Medical Wing (of the Alliance and Legion). She often hides her wings so that she can move around the tight hallways easier.

I was going to do art, and then brain goes: maybe I'll put my "sounds like" / hypothetical VAs list for #theelementals into a note so I don't have to try and discern my own handwriting...
So if you're curious. This isn't all the characters in the whole story, but this is a good chunk.

And now it is time for the villain of #someonetowatchoverme to be revealed! Meet Nazir. I drew a bust of him a few months ago, just because I was struggling to come up with an outfit design.
Nazir is pretentious, arrogant, and thinks way too highly of himself.

I have not only a death grip on my pen, but I press super hard and then worry about whether or not I’m going to break my screen… 😂
I’m also really bad about saving. And then CSP will be all “a lot of processing, be warned the app may crash,” and then I realize I haven’t even saved ONCE.

I haven’t actually done full character art for Nazir or Cain, so their palettes aren’t complete.
I do this so I don’t have to have a billion character profiles open on my iPad while I’m coloring. (There are so many more characters too, I just tried to make reoccurring ones) #someonetowatchoverme

OKAY I FINALLY REMEMBERED TO DO THIS.
I laugh about this a lot because Forseth is freakishly tall and has spiky hair… so he’d make the best pine tree… right?
Or a cactus. Cuz he’s prickly.

Man I just tried to post this and it freaked out on me, and then I got worried.
But in any case…
I just got this dm. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

So this was initially a really quick doodle with one of the pens I’m practicing inking with, and… then I colored it.
Forseth looks like an entirely different character when he’s not scowling, and Crissa looks different with her hair down.

Okay, pen test #2. No color this time, but just simple inking.
I have two different pens this time - one is the same pen as the one that people liked on the previous edition (just with a taper instead of a fade), and the other is a solid/no texture pen.
LMK your thoughts!

So about a month or two ago, I was like, what if I made promotional art for #theelementals? And then once I settled on #someonetowatchoverme as the first story, this took a backseat for a little while. I finally got around to finishing it!
I may fiddle with it some more later…

I’m going back and fixing up the sketches and adding speech bubbles to correct some grammar and pacing… so that way supporters/proofers can read it easily.
And then I’ll start work on the next few chapters… and work on the next chapter for the Bionicle manga 😂

So I was trialing some pens, and I thought: which one should I use for #someonetowatchoverme ?
I usually use the G-Pen as my inking and coloring tool.
What do y’all think?

So I am on my desktop, and I realized that I needed to fix the navigation buttons on the Tumblr site for Bionicle: the Manga... and as I was fixing the navigation, I was like, wait, maybe I should include the years in which each chapter was made.
This is equally amazing and horrifying.

So in case you all wanted to know… I wasn’t joking when I said I was gonna start this. It’ll be a little bit of a long process, especially since I should also be starting the sketches for the next Bionicle manga chapter…

The original design had this character in a dress where the wings blended into it, so I was tasked with drawing the same character but with the wings out.
