Gila, the scheming little shit
IT'S HERRRRRRRRRRRR WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I was gonna do wayyyy more for this ref sheet, I was gonna do a turnaround, her cloak pattern, her tattoos, an expression sheet, her scepter, but all that got shafted when I realized that I FUCKIN HATE DOING REF SHEETS, IT'S SO BORING AND FRUSTRATING
I also came to the realization that I don't really like her design that much, it feels kinda boring and the colors aren't very representative of her character. Blue just does not fit her. So I'll probably end up revisiting her in the future to redesign her, but I am not doing another ref sheet, the next time I need one I'm just gonna commission someone because they're a pain in the ass
NAME THEM PLEASE
This character is a part of a character design challenge that I got the idea for from an episode of Drawfee (love drawfee sm eheheehe) where they generated a description for a character using THIS WEBSITE and they each made a character based off the same description. What I'm doing here is completely ignoring the usage of a single description, and instead I used 3 different descriptions to each make a different character with
Here is the description I used for this character, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do as I was reading it, right up until the "long unkempt mutton chops". Those really through me for a loop. I omitted quite a few details, some on purpose and some by accident (I straight up did not see the 5'5" height, I just read "tall" and rolled with it) Here are some little facts and details about them:
They (and their species) currently don't have a name, and I want you all to help with that :D preferably something ethereal sounding or space related
They are androgynous and use they/them pronouns
They have a bit of an ego due to rising up the ranks so fast
They are 100% not the main character, no matter how much they think they are
They are 8'6" tall
Their species speaks in the voices of all their past ancestors, making them sound sometimes male and sometimes female
The crescent symbol thing in the background is the mark that they have across their back, I just didn't wanna do a turnaround
The color of their eyes represents their rank in society (Lowest rank = red, highest rank = purple
The color of their flames represent how close they are to reaching the next rank
Their spear is a placeholder because I didn't want to do complicated weapon design in a character design challenge
The flames on the sides of their face were meant to be the "long unkempt mutton chops"
I forgot to include the pointed nose so I thought that maybe they have a helmet to go with the rest of their armor that has a pointed nose
They have zygodactyl feet, which goes weirdly well with the pointed nose idea. I did not mean to make this character as bird-coded as I did but I'm not unhappy with it
The sexy evil mastermind himself :0

this is actually amazing like wtf
Starting off the new year with I think the most background heavy piece I've ever made! I think Rainwings and Nightwings would celebrate their traditional holidays together after the events of The brightest night. So this drawing is meant to show their cultures kind of blending together during a very joyful time. I remember talking about this concept with someone on tumblr a year ago but when I went back through my posts I couldn't for the life of me find it - so if your reading this, I remember you and this drawing stems from that conversation so thank you!

I wasn't a huge fan of Winter's character up until I reread book 7, I always thought he was an absolute insufferable prick for really stupid reasons, but looking back he has a completely justifiable reason for his hatred of NightWings outside of his IceWing culture
I so desperately want more of Hailstorm, even just a Winglet book of his life back in the Ice Palace exploring his identity crisis and choosing between the life that was forced upon him versus the life where he was truly happy and had real friends would be incredible. There's a Hailstorm/Pyrite MAP on YouTube called Once Upon a December and its SO WELL MADE AND I LOVE IT SO FRICKIN MUCH and its pretty much exactly what I wanna see from a Hailstorm POV book and here's a link to it just watch it - https://youtu.be/_duSPWJzxVk
This project was pretty straightforward; I didn't wanna do a super crazy background like my Moon fanart, so I just went with the aurora borealis and some delicious rim lighting (the aurora can go fuck itself for being so hard to draw traditionally, it kinda looks like shit ikik). I feel like I'm getting a better grasp on how to do color and pick good looking color schemes. Before I would only do complimentary and try to do as much contrast as possible, but I've learned that analogous color schemes look SOOOO GOOD and I can't believe I've done so few projects where I go for harmony instead of contrast
I also feel like I'm getting better at dragon poses and making them more dynamic, this pose isn't super crazy or anything but the head angle with the turning neck isn't something I've really done before, and I think I did pretty good
Here is the last character from this batch of descriptions, her name is Zostera and she's a human-Atlantean(?) hybrid. I was really unhappy with her at first, mainly because I thought her face looked really weird (I think its mostly her hair and her "ears" honestly). That, and her armor is just really fuckin ugly, but I wasn't too upset about that because I can always just give her a different outfit. Overall she's grown on me a little. Still not that proud of her but I'm definitely gonna revisit her in the future :)
Here is her description, as soon as I read "aquamarine skinned" I knew I wanted to do some kind of weird fish lady. And as soon as I read "ripped, masculine clothes" I knew she had to be a tomboy. The makeup kinda contradicts that, but I gave her purple accents in her skin to imply that the "eye shadow" is natural. She also has glowing purple blood, because why not. Here are some details about her:
Zostera's name is based off the dwarf seahorse, I planned to make her more seahorse-coded but I literally had zero ideas for that outside the name
She is 5'1" (SHORT QUEEEEEEEEN✨)
She can breathe underwater and on the surface
She has excellent night vision, making her eyes sensitive to light
She is a warrior who aims to unite her two worlds, despite being rejected from both for being a half-blood
She is tough as nails and could absolutely kick your ass
The weird coral stalks on her body are actually sensory organs, and with them she can detect vibrations in the air, sort of like faux ears
When she's underwater, she can use them to echolocate and communicate with other ocean folk
If her coral stalks are damaged, it could cause serious long term brain damage, loss of memory, loss of cognitive function, loss of motor skills, and loss of certain senses. Imagine a concussion but your brain is on the outside of your skull
Her coral stalks can glow, but not that bright
When she was young, everyone in her home village called her a multitude of colorful mean names, among them being "gargler", which is actually a slur towards ocean folk. Dang ol racism
Because she has glowing purple blood, her face also glows purple when she blushes, which doesn't happen very often but you're welcome to try :)
