✨ :: 47-38 [RO] Sugar Skulls ::

Finallyyyy it's 01 Nov~~ I can upload thisss xD
Sketched it on 29 Sept and finished it on 13 Oct.

My Ragnarök Online characters, drawn in my Picayune style.
From left: Whispersio (pet), Thomas, Mef, Li'l Row (pet), and Kei.

My pal on dA introduced me to sugar skull (calavera) through her drawing of La Catrina. Sugar skulls are part of Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebration. I visited a few sites and I think this whole celebration is a nice concept.

I think Thomas would totally be into this Day if he was on our planet, haha. In fact, it might help him learn to view the passing of his beloved in a fresh perspective. Besides, he loves skulls and death stuff(?).

So, this drawing is just because I wanna draw Thomas and sugar skulls. Sorry guys, no face paint. I'm not good at decorative patterns and I don't wanna butcher this tradition. As it is, I don't think I even decorated the skulls well. x'D

Oh yeah, Whispersio gets a clay skull because Whispy does not eat anything but darkness and we don't want that white fabric to be stained with colourings, do we... Also, although it's day time, Mef's home is a beach town inside a cave, so it has no sunlight. Illuminated by fireworks. Whispy likes it.

✨ :: 47-45 [RO] Mef's Mask Party ::

Mef is having a mask party at his house in the beach town!
Be sure to wear a mask or he will paint your face so ghastly even monsters will flee! xD

My characters: Thomas, Mef, and Kei.
Above them are Whispersio (Thomas' pet) and Li'l Row (Mef's pet).

This was also a doodle (one of many) that I decided to do up a bit. Some masks you've seen in my comic, and some you haven't. Mef's pose is totally taken from my comic's Epilogue, lol. And I accidentally made Thomas a tiny bit too tall. He's supposed to be shorter than Kei. I only realised this after completing the drawing. Oh well. :') And that is my attempt at 'scribbly fun' handwriting style.

✨ :: 47-41 [CTB] The Life After ::

Hey, everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it! Well, for me it felt like ages... Here's a Ragnarök Online fan art of my characters from my comic, 'Chasing Thomas Benedicta'. They're pretty much like my own OCs now to be honest, hahaha. The beauty of RPG characters, hehehe~

These are just some ideas of what their lives might be like, maybe after a year later or so.

Here you can see (from top-left):
- Mef reading a book (with pictures, ofc!) while a drunk Thomas comes by.
- Mef being teased by Rando as usual.
- Mef and pet, Li'l Row getting some sun after some trades with merchants there.
- Thomas and pet, Whispersio attending talks in Rachel temple to learn more on the goddess Freyja since he's switching to worshipping her than Odin.
- Kei holding his wife, Molly and his new kid so very dearly.
- Mef back then when he first learns how to sharpen his daggers.

This picture is originally a collection of sketches, me purging the trash art to make way for a worthy one. Unfortunately, it's not happening; and I do wanna make OC art, but my brain is dead when it comes to my own OCs. T_T I'm tryin'a get inspired but failing. :') So I figured I'd still upload whatever sketches I have, and this is it.

:: OC Drawing Prompt 10 & 11: Doodling A Friend... ::

✨ Prompt 10: Doodling their friend.
✨ Prompt 11: Showing the doodle to said friend.

I think the comic's pretty self-explanatory. It definitely takes place after [CTB], heheh.

Featuring my RO characters that are pretty much like OCs already: Mef the rogue and Kei the archer with the age-old question that almost all artists get: "Can you draw me?" Annoyed for having his fun time interrupted with such a request (as handsome as Kei may be), Mef paints him as an ape monster who happens to share the same hairstyle as his. x'D

I saw this card illustration a few months back when playing RO... I saw it and was like "OMG it's Kei"x'DDD --and only now with this prompt list do I have the reason to draw it.

Prompt list: [OC Drawing Prompts by Smash-chu (tumblr)]

:: 47-21 [RO CTB] Thomas Wanna See Mef's Stuff ::

Just a little RO fan art of my game characters (from left): Mef, Thomas, Kei, Whispersio.
I made them act like 5-year-olds again, I am so sorry. x'D Only now I wish I had put them in a classroom setting.

This scene is totally unrelated to the comic.
What comic where? My on-going RO doodly comic!
Check it out! [HERE] --sorted by newest page to oldest.

Thomas found Mef's old painting in Mef's hut and wants to see it. Mef is shy to show his paintings because he thinks they're not good enough (yet)... but Thomas thinks that anything Mef paints will look nice, so he doesn't see what's the problem here.

Thomas says, "Let me see your stuff, Mef!" and Mef cries out in refusal. "But I wanna seeee~ Don't be shy!" Thomas insists; and Mef lets out another cry of "Nooo!" Hearing the commotion, Kei peeks in and warns Thomas, "Thomas, behave yourself or I will report you for harassment." Whispersio only looks at the antics of his owner.

:: 47-09 [RO] Mef and Li'l Row ::

Ragnarök Online/RO fan art of my Shadow Chaser, Mef and Li'l Row the Roween. They're at Mef's hometown, Comodo.

My drawing of Li'l Row don't look like a Roween but ehh. I see Roweens as a mix between the spotted hyena and a meerkat. In fact, I think Shadow Chasers themselves kinda look like a Roween, haha just not as cute... so I think it would be a fitting pet for Mef. Hence, this drawing! Mef would call his pet Roween as Li'l Row in order to sound a bit street. SCs are, after all, kinda a thug class.

So... yeah. Mef and Li'l Row.

:: 47-05 [RO] Masked Mef ::

Ragnarök Online fan art of my Shadow Chaser, Mef.

Mef has a difficult task at hand, so he needs to maintain a poker face.
He can't really do that, so he wears this Goblin poker-face mask instead.

:: 46-062 [RO] Kei's Wedding ::

RO fan art~ From left: Thomas, Molly, Kei, Whispersio, Mef.
Here Kei gets married to the woman of his dream: an ordinary town girl with feminine qualities named Molly (a total wife material, to him).

Whispersio greets Molly, but she's somewhat frightened to react because Whispersio was initially one of the many monsters of the realm. So, Kei tried to tell her it's alright because Whispersio is Thomas' pet now. He's tame and won't punch anyone except Thomas.

This is a short scene in my RO fan fic, but it will not be shown in my doodly comic. I made their tuxedos have a hint of their job uniforms. Thomas' is the easiest (idk why priests never button their shirts, lol; oh, his bow tie is on Whispersio); Kei has a red bow tie (like the Sniper's red arm band); and Mef is wearing what rogues would wear... yeah they kinda 'fancy'... but some artists do be like that, right? But uh... Mef, your bow tie is a bit crooked...

:: 46-051 [RO] Lazy Afternoon ::

Ragnarök Online fan art! I'm currently having no idea for my own OC story, so I do this. Drawing RO fan art is much easier because the world concept is already all laid out with complete visual refs, unlike my own stuff, lol.

They are characters from my RO fan fiction, but this scene doesn't exist in the story. I just wanted to draw this, so you can say this really came straight from the heart, haha~ And Kei is telling Thomas to be careful because he doesn't trust Shadow Chasers, but Thomas seems to be fond of Mef, trusting him.

Characters:
- Mef the Shadow Chaser (rogue class, agile and sneaky)
- Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (cleric class, exorcist with basic prayers)
- Kei Jang the Sniper (archer class, makes his own arrows than buy 'em)
- unnamed character in the background, 'the GX' (assassin class, known for their poisons and swiftness)

I decided to use more of the smooth pen brush for this to make it easier on myself to refer to their colour palettes, particularly Thomas' strawberry blond hair. I already have some RO colour swatches saved, but not enough. And I'm aware that the blushing Mef looks too girlish here, lol.

:: 46-047 [RO] Mef! ::

My RO fan-fic-only character, Mef (not in game). Just wanted to draw him comfy like my Idun.
On the left is him as a townie, based on an NPC I stumbled upon while playing as Thomas. On the right is him as a Shadow Chaser (rogue class). They wear this big feathery cloak, so I bet he can get all comfy in it, looking like an owl, haha.

Character Info:
Mef | Shadow Chaser | Level 107 of 200
Highest stat points: Strength & Vitality
Weapons: Daggers; bow (secondary/almost never)

Mef is a curious little guy with a streak of mischief. He's agile as most Shadow Chasers would be. He is honest in his face and actions —not a good thing, though... because SCs are supposed to be deceptive.

As a young man who has never left the beach town Comodo, Mef enjoys listening to tales of adventure. He lives near the bar, so he would always go there to listen to the adventurers talk. Unfortunately, not everyone has time to tell campfire tales, save one fellow. Although his tales were mundane, Mef (in all his childish demeanour) enjoyed every tale the man told him.

And so, Mef decided to be an adventurer to get his own adventuring tales. Mef's a little slow, having failed the job test three times (on separate occasions). Still, no regrets. Thanks to being an adventurer, he now knew of adventurer uniforms, and he could only think that the man who spared some time to tell him tales was a priest type. He can't remember the man, though... the priest had such an ordinary face. Perhaps one day they might meet again.

Ah yes, upon being a Shadow Chaser, the guild gave him some painting supplies. Mef sucks at art, but he's getting there.

:: 46-036 [RO] Resting Peacefully ::

Ragnarök Online fan art featuring my character, Archbishop Thomas Benedicta and a Shadow Chaser, Mef. Had this idea since a couple of months back when my artist block hit me, and only recently could I draw it out.

In-game music: [Divine Grace (v2)]

Thomas has an obsession for two things: skulls and crosses. The former is liquidable asset, and the latter is for protection. He tells the members of the church that when he dies, please put him together with his pet ghost, Whispersio in a coffin (with Whispy being in his own little coffin inside the bigger one), and bury him with the big cross he hangs behind his room door. Skulls can be sold to cover the funeral costs.

"But first, let me test my coffin out," he tells the church. They let him and went about their ways. Thomas goes into the coffin, bringing his huge cross from his room door, and lies down inside. "Ah, feels just like my bed in the storage room," he mutters to himself. It was comfortable enough that he fell asleep.

A figure stealthily approaches, emerging from the shadows upon having caught up with his target. He squats by the coffin, his weapon unsheathed. 'To die in your sleep ought to be merciful enough,' he thinks to himself as he looks at the sleeping Archbishop. He is supposed to have been done with the disposal of his target, but instead finds himself enjoying the serene look on Thomas' face.

(Other notes: I could not fit in things like skull, Holy Water, and Whispy in the coffin due to chibi proportions. x'D And Thomas is, at present, my comfort character. :') The carpeting is taken directly from my own in-game screenshot.)
