Ookay...it's been a while. Because lol, I am just bad at scanning things with a capital B. I've also been drawing concept art which I don't want to share just yet (though you might have seen it in art chat). For now, consider this a sketchdump of the rest of my Wrighton things. =D Obviously contained within are spoilers. The Skitty, as part of the "draw Scip as a kitty" challenge. As well as bonus Cat-leen. The art of Dion's real form! Based on a frilled shark with tentacles, with tiny diver for scale. Tag to Thorn , who now owns the paper original. Fionn-avatar for when he was turned into a seal. With the caption *galumph* A younger, hawter Fionn which might not be appropriate for some sensibilities. Just a derpy picture of my seer with uncontrolable visions meeting the Wrightonian one. =D *a tag for Kyn right here, because Cade and Peaches belong to her* Maggie's true form AKA what those sleeves are hiding. She's basically a Eurasian sparrowhawk with longer legs. Iki the kvagulaar, Fionn's alien ancestor. =D With a tentacle gesture for "desire to make friends" Iki swimming Alexis again, but not as you know her... This was also my Inktober. *tags to Gelquie * Another Inktober, this time the pool party with Alexis, Dion and Fionn. =D I'd tag Thorn and GLQ for their characters, but they have already been tagged in this post, so the koi and mershark are their characters, k? A final Inktober, and this is S'siri, running from the beast. A tag to Shinko for her character. I liked this one. I got a chance to experiment with angles, and while not perfect, I'm proud of how it turned out. And finally, a 'shippy art of Iki and Oor'cha, because I promised. :3 *casual tag to Liou for their snek person* These two are adorable.

I am on an art roll right now, because I finished Ivar's colour reference. I have been working on this since the 25th of October...of last year. So yeah, this is a big deal. xD I made sure to pick the best blue for his eyes I could, since that is one of his distinguishing features. xD Most of the block on this was due to me really not liking how my shading was turning out in the new GIMP. But I think I've gotten used to it now...I think.

So, a small chunk of November and most of December was eaten up by doing art. These were my Christmas requests, and I'm not going to repost them here because I don't like reposting unless it's to collate. You can see them right here though. But apparently, all that was not enough for me! Because I am now doing Extra Presents for people who did not ask for them. I know that sorta defeats the point of asking, but I like giving presents to people, and unlike that stupid ugly sweater that is two sizes two small, art does not take up any space. I was going to do these in time for the New Year, but sadly, burnout hit me and I have not been able to get them all done. So instead I'll be doing them in batches if and when I finish them. This is not the end, and I'll say when it is over. If you don't get a request, it's either because I don't know you well, you don't visit the forum much or I just didn't have a good idea. So, with that intro out of the way, let's get to the two I did finish! First up, Tiger, for you. I had this idea when I was brainstorming Shinko's and remembered a certain aquatic feature in the office of a certain villain... The thought process behind this went thusly: "Well, Iskendar is a cat, and he does indulge in some typically cat behaviours during the roleplay. Hmm, cats like staring at fish tanks...wait, didn't Iske have a shark tank?" That said, I did try to play the idea a bit more seriously, since Iskendar is also a powerful supervillain. I'm sure he is plotting something evil here... And for Gelquie, a character who is a spoiler, but you know who this is so I'll just leave this here. I do hope you like her design! We can discuss this more in sidechat if you like. ^^ So...yes, these two are done, stay tuned for more. They may or may not be digital because I am trying to get back into digital art, but at least one will be traditional. I have plans within plans. >3

Ee, thank you for the picture of spoiler character, Celestial! =D I love it. Her personality really shines out of the page. ^^ And that's some amazing detail on the hair and dress, by the way. I know I didn't give you much to work with, so thank you so much for designing her and doing this. ^^ While I'm here, I love that art of Iskender too! He looks so evil and menacing here, and it seems like the light and the water is almost reflecting off of him, which only helps with that. =D He's up to something, you can really tell. Heroes beware. You've got great shading on both of these and I love these both. ^^ *Thumbs up!*

Celestial , ahhhh, thank you so much for that awesome Iskender art!! He and the sharks look awesome and I love the little touches to the rest of the room - the can of food on his desk and the scratched-up chair are amazing XD You captured the aesthetic of his office perfectly! \ o / (the art for GLQ's request is fantastic, too, it's a great pose and you are ridiculously good at depicting draped fabrics!)

And I love doing details like this (though that dress was...such a pain, oh gosh. My eyes almost bled from looking at references!) You gave me a starting point, and I filled in the gaps, which was fun. And thank you again! Yep, the light is supposed to reflect off him, just to make him look shiny stand out. It was also fun to try to keep his face cat-like while depicting an evil look. He definitely has a plan. Celestial , ahhhh, thank you so much for that awesome Iskender art!!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! ^^ The description of his office from one of your posts in the roleplay provided most of the detail for this, down to the can. Since he ate a can of tuna in it and the tuna is mentioned elsewhere, I thought I'd depict it there. It was also a really fun experiment with lighting for me (and it's also why I did it digitally: much easier to adjust lighting) so thanks! (Thanks for that too! As mentioned above, the fabric took me 5eva, but I am really proud of the end result. And the pose, I knew it had to be dancing due to the personality of the character, so I did all I could to capture it)

Slowing down a lot with art due to work, but I am working through the above art project of delivering late presents to people who didn't get any. So, PFA, you know what you deserve? Fanart of your OCs. ^^ I kinda love the designs of the girls from Niji Chakra, so I had to draw a nice group shot of them. Though this took me two tries to actually slot them in and have dynamic enough poses. So I hope you like. ^^

So, here are the last of my two delayed Christmas presents. And I managed to finish them in January, whoot. \o/ Both of these are the traditional ones. First up, you already have seen this, Thorn, but I am posting it for the rest of the forum. I actually sent this out to Thorn's physical address, so she's got the original. The reason for that was that I also wanted to return the book this was fanart of. Way back in August she loaned me Strange Practice to read, which is a novel about a doctor who treats the supernatural. It's pretty good. For her I drew a fairly minor character who only appears at the end, but whose design was so amazing and his personality so intriguing that he stuck with me. Samael, AKA Sam. He is basically the devil, but he is cool. His suit was described as "softly glowing" in the book, and I portrayed that effect by inking over my original lines in white ink. Hopefully it shows (Thorn says it's better viewed from a distance) And a gift for Fraze and Huntress. I knew I wanted to draw you both a present, but couldn't really think of what exactly. So in the end, I settled for something nice and chill, something to illustrate the good memories I have from visiting you guys, just with an NTWF twist. Hope you like! Speaks for itself. Alcohol, tortilla chips/crisps, Fraze's amazing guacamole (I normally hate anything avocado-related but I devoured that stuff) and some good conversation and company. Also blarf, Bloody Mary and the White Weewoo.

Samael is actually amazing, and I've been telling all my work buds how my super cool friend sent me pretty artwork of a character from one of my new favourite universes! I need to re-read the book, or at least this scene, before the sequel comes out. (We'd better get more of Sam and Fass! Their dynamic, brief as it was, was probably my favourite in the book next to Ruthven and Greta.)
I haven't commented on your Frunty gift before, so will dedicate most of this post to that! I love all the details here (and you've gotten so goshdarn good at drawing wings! They look beautiful.) This is either pencilwork, or a very good imitation of it? I just really love the colouring style, the yellow/green patches on the ocean and the shading on Hunty's corset are especially excellent.

*quietly fawns over your coloring skillz as well*
See, we originally got into the guacamole because I thought I was having a bad case of magnesium deficiency, found out that avocado contains lots of it and guacamole was the only form in which I was willing to give it a shot. (Turned out it was mastitis, actually, but by that point we'd already stocked up on avocado and had to use it up :'D)
Man, I kind of miss the guildverse now. Been a while since we did anything in it. ...of course, that picture is an A+ accurate depiction of how it'd look most of the time.

Aww, I am flattered that you tell your work buds about me. ^^ And I agree, their dynamic was amazing. What little we saw of it hinted at depths that I really hope get explored in the sequels. Thank you so much! You know I am a sucker for detail, but I am practicing with wings (still don't think they're ideal but I am trying.) And you're right, it is pencils and inks. Inks in particular are what gives the darkest parts of Hunty's corset the shding. As for the yellow/green, that's actually a very light green. x3 *quietly fawns over your coloring skillz as well* See, we originally got into the guacamole because I thought I was having a bad case of magnesium deficiency, found out that avocado contains lots of it and guacamole was the only form in which I was willing to give it a shot.

Happy you like it. xD Happy accidents? I dislike avocado in all its forms, even guacamole, but we only get store-bought guacamole here anyway. When it's fresh, the texture is different enough, and the lemon juice changes its taste enough that I can stomach it. Plus chips, and, well, nom. Lawl, let's be fair, wars are the only things that happened there to get activity going, and if the guild leaders are just meeting up for beer and chat, probably not much opportunity for war there. x3 This is how you achieve world peace, yo.

(I am seriously the worst at commenting on art.)
This thing is gorgeous, though. All the little details are great, and story-wise I love how it works on two levels. On one level, this is definitely all of us hanging out together; but on the other level it's a meeting of three guild leaders getting drunk and forging a three-way alliance to take over the other guilds.
(Also I guess the Blarf's tentacles are the kid's wiggly little handses?)

I like my stuff to work on a canon level before the meta level. And lawl, I imagined kidling under the table or causing shenanigans with Dormouse off-screen. Blarf is Blarf and cannot be replaced.

So, due to new job, and doing a bit more writing, I've not been drawing as much. Mainly it comes in spurts when I have the energy. That said, here are a few things. Not NTWF-related, but my friends have recently begun a roleplay which is basically a darker and edgier version of our shared Pokemon fanfic universe. So here are my characters' designs for it. From left to right: Rin, Zlata and Ryun. Rin is the only one who is exclusive to this universe. The other two have been my mains for a while. Now Medieval stuff. Just a self-indulgent diabetes-inducing cute fluff of Hectorbelle and their kidlet taking a nap. Not really much to say except I messed up the folds of Issie's dress, so pretend that's a blanket. 8D; I haven't done much with Lange but I do have ideas, darnit! This one concerns Kasimir, who is Seraphim's son. I had a fic idea where he has to capture a sirin, and he succeeds...sort of. The clearest mental image I have for this fic is the climax where the sirin in her cage pretty much intimidates him into letting her go. And this is it. Wings are fun to draw. This counts as three pictures, because it took up three pictures of my sketchbook. Lizica, you are evil and I love you. It is also best dragged to full size because this is 3,500 pixels in width. From left to right: Miss Celes Teal, Shani, Dr. Diana Aurora Pallada, Major Sergei Belkov, Sister Lucille Erata, Ambrose Stallion and Grand Duke Alain Stallion, Robert the Shetland, Ivan Tout (and Ranumgen as a magpie), Miss Tabitha Kingsley, Fionn Colby and Maggie Chayka. Also known as ALL of my characters, ranging from the first NTWF Mafia to Wrighton. These are mostly player characters, but I gave NPCs who took on lives of their own and had arcs independent of the main characters a slot too. Although Fionn ended up being big so Maggie was relegated to hiding behind him. xD Pretend that she does not want to be caught out without her dress. Fun fact: Celes Teal never had an image before this, but when I sat down to draw her, the grumpy flapper idea just hit me like a ton of bricks. Everyone else I had existing character art to work off of, whether it was an avatar, reference art, or the many, many times I have drawn the Stallionbros to the point where I could do it in my sleep. *cough* But yes. Hope you like. 8D
