Heya!
I’m Phoenix! This account is dedicated to tracking my journey as an artist.
Started on graphite for fun, and in the fall of 2024 decided to put the characters in my head to paper.

I’m entirely self taught and a complete noob, just enjoying the process of trial and error.

I truly think the world would be a much better place if everyone spent about 75% of their time making bad art

Made the base colours.
Midterms this week, so I'm gonna come back to shade and re-colour the background in a week and a bit.

Outline for Hearth, ready for colour.
This is one of my favourite characters.
I'm so happy to bring her to life!
Fletcher's closest friend, most trusted ally, and top operative during the Great Purge.
Stinn's partner. She is cunning, ruthless, and survives encounters with Alex.

Alright! Finished Stinn's first draft.
Still not entirely happy with the face, I think the nose and lips are off a bit, but I know if I start messing with it I'm going to screw it up.

Stinn is originally from Alex's community. She was very close friends with Alex and Adze growing up, and was the backbone of the revolution to overthrow the colonists. She is bi-racial and never met her father, and since she she looks more like the colonists she was required to attend a re-education school much more than usual throughout her youth. Although traumatic for her, she was treated slightly better and was allowed leniency due to racism and her "respect for authority". She learned the language much better and learned math, and as she was in line to be a leader of resources after her mother died, she became very good at finance and tried to study law as much as she could. She is incredibly smart, and quickly became a master tactician as they were forced to grow up fast. She always had a love interest in Alex, but never showed it until after the revolution. This contributed somewhat to Alex going off the rails, but in retrospect she felt horrible (although Adze was the main instigator). During that same time, Adze tried to make advances on her, which were quickly shot down (this contributed to Adze's betrayal). She lost her arm during Alex's massacre (taking place after the reactionary invasion facilitated by Adze), and upon finding her arm, Alex believes she killed her best friend during the blood rage. After Stinn is taken into Fletchers organization, she quickly becomes his top tactician and is one of the driving forces during the Great Royal Purge. She struggles during this time due to being right handed, and initially uses a scribe for most of her work. She fosters a relationship with Fletcher's right hand, a special operative and novice sorcerer named Hearth. Stinn's relationship with her is a constant from then on, and they are inseparable. When Alex arrives to wipe out the capital, Stinn is the one who prevents a disaster. I'm debating whether or not Alex should heal her arm at this point, because it might undermine her character.

Okay this is taking too long so I'm posting in-progress.
Say hello to Stinn!
I'm really annoyed because I can't figure out how I got parts of it to look so good.
Instead of colouring it in, I decided to try erasing the sketch lines as I move forward and I think it works.

I regret to inform you all that my #hourlycomicsday strip from last year aged a little TOO well, so I’m just gonna repost it 😖
Three comic panels: 1) Me drawing neutrally at my desk, 2) me grabbing my head and screaming "ARRGHH I'M SO FREAKING TIRED!! WHYY IS THE WORLD LIKE THIS?!?!! AAAAAAAAAA" 3) Me in the same pose as before, drawing neutrally, but slightly disheveled this time, and saying, "...Okay, all better."

After learning how to do colour today, I decided to redo the graphic novel snippet. This was... a lot. I have to say I am definitely proud though, and i like how my style is progressing (however slow).
Still need to work on faces.

Alex final
This was my first time using colour for an actual project, and it was a very fun learning experience. I'm going to try and do the rest of my characters this way, but I might do a couple versions of her from other arks first.

character description in alt text
Alex is a sorcerer who lost her homeland and uses blood as a medium. The greatsword was taken by one of the soldiers that occupied her community, and it became her tool of execution against them. The sword regularly breaks due to her immense raw strength, but she uses her power as a sorcerer to continuously mend it with the iron from the blood of her enemies. The dagger on her side is an obsidian blade used for cleaning animals. Her clothes are a combination of her peoples traditional clothing, and the outfits worn by her colonizers. Her peoples hair are naturally pink, haven't decided why. Haven't yet decided the significance of the bracelets. Lastly, the bone mask is that of a wild boar, which is what killed her when she became a sorcerer. Whenever she loses control and goes into a "blood rage" the mask will appear, but she also sometimes uses it strategically as an intimidation tactic or to occasionally hide her face.

Working to finalize Alex's character model. Here's the sketch layer.
Decided I like the greatsword I used yesterday.
Adding the mask back, I think I want her to use it whenever she goes into battle or loses control, but I would have it removed somehow if her expression is important enough.
#OC #art
Really cosplaying as Thorfinn lmao. Added cute lil boots. Finalizing the choice weapon, thinking the knife could be something sentimental from her home nation before the massacre. Brought the hog mask back. I want her to be able to summon it using her blood magic. I liked the bracelet I gave her yesterday so I'm giving her a couple.

Alex scene.
First time making a panel, figuring everything out. This took an embarrassingly long time, but I am happy with how it came out. There are a few inconsistencies cause I was experimenting.
I need to work on faces still, and I realized I have no idea how to draw hats or helmets.
#OC
Alex is beaten on the ground, and as a soldier walks up to finish her, she stands and reaches up. The blade cuts through her arm vertically, but she heals around it, locking it in place. She then grips her foe's skull, killing him, and marches forward towards the enemy line, using the corpse as a shield.

More concept art, this time for Alex. Still work in progress trying to learn anatomy.
This character is heavily inspired by Technoblade, still debating whether I should keep to mask as a tribute to him.
I also took a bit from Thorfinn, and the first "act" follows a similar ark.

decided I'm going to use this account to document progress with my story I'm making in the little time I have between uni and rock climbing
Here's some Fletcher concepts I made a while back
(ms paint)
#OC
Quick sketch while I was brainstorming. As a sorcerer of the living shadow, Fletcher can cut rips to another dimension. This is after he gets wings. I haven't named the big guy in the back yet, but it's like an eldritch passive monster. Doesn't really do much in the short term, but I want Fletcher to fight him. After Fletcher fights big eldritch dude as part of some ritual, he goes blind but can see through the eyes of birds that he possesses. Because of that his helmet covers his eyes without consequence. He wears this helmet after destroying his crown so that there can be no "king" to claim it. First time I ever drew him. Based him off Philza and Canute from Vinland. I still haven't decided how I want this to go, but at this point he doesn't have wings, and he still calls himself a king. Here he's getting inaugurated after staging a coup, promising that after his rule, everyone will have a say in who wears the crown. His only claim to the throne was that he thought he was fit to rule, and most people were happy to overthrow their previous oppressors.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
