✨ :: 47-53 [AL] Winter Weekend ::

Here's a piece following this season's festivities! I've never eaten a Yule Log before, but I do love Swiss rolls.

This drawing features some of the kiddos from my 'Another Life' story. It's basically a spin-off where all my OCs from all my stories coexist.

From left, kiddos who are present are Shintaro, Sindri, Manel and the ones not facing us is Rosa, Piht, and Rocío. Idun and Thiazi are not here. The one serving the Yule Log is Terenzio. Outside through the window, we can see Adrià (Manel's dad) inviting Shin's parents in (yes, Shin had excitedly run off to see his friends).

None of them have ever seen Yule Log cakes, so it makes one wonder where this could have come from.

And just like with Sugar Skulls, I realised that I failed to make the food item as the focus of the drawing, again. It's in the centre, yes, but kinda small and surrounded by other 'bigger' things. But ehh idk.

P/S: Originally, I was hoping to make a big one featuring my RO duo and my own OCs (the main ones) that might total to 12 or so people; but that was a bit too ambitious and I'm kinda drained from life events. So, I scrapped that idea. :< Yet, here I am drawing a picture that has 10 people. I do not understand my actions, haha. x'D

✨ :: 47-52 [RO] Bereaved ::

Grief is a monster at first; but a friend after. That's what they say.
For Thomas, Grief is still a monster, whether he befriends it or not.

"Grief is like that annoying acquaintance who clings onto you despite knowing it's not wanted; and it shows up when you least expects it to. Some days we enjoy the memories, some days Grief comes and hit me like a brick," says Thomas. "Still, we have such fun together in reminiscence, in pain and despair, in beautiful tragedy; and ultimately, we ended up signing a dark contract together, ah ha ha..."

My priest, Thomas Benedicta relaxing at St Capitolina Abbey, monastery for Monks, with a ghost of his past. He has been grieving Casey's death for many years and is still struggling with survivor's guilt. He decides to relax here only because an old acquaintance, Sister Cessna said this place helped to alleviate her sorrows.
(Trivia: This place will no longer exist in 300 years to come, when Ragnarök happens.)

✨ :: 47-50 [RO] Default Mef_SC ::

My Ragnarök Online character, Mef the Shadow Chaser/SC (rogue class).
Unknowingly drew the pose to be 99% like [the ref image], only reversed. x'D
(You can also read about SCs there, first paragraph. They are, in short, warrior artists... or con artists... hahah...)

.

As the title says, this is Mef in the default Shadow Chaser uniform of the game. Mef doesn't like it because of no shirt and he doesn't even carry THAT many daggers. Besides, it lacked his colour theme: red! He also loves the floofy cape, makes him feel safe. And those are Li'l Row button pins, hahaha. The actual design is a horned smiley, but I changed that for more Mef-ness. And I also left his chains at black for visibility purposes.

Shadow Chaser

In order to keep up with the growing power of other guilds such as the Rune Knights of the Swordman guild, the Rogue guild discovered that painting would lead them to the power they were seeking. They studied ways to inflict psychological damage...

✨ :: 47-49 [RO] Bless the Dark Ones ::

My Ragnarök Online/iRO character, Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (priest/cleric). He does exorcism... and even had one done onto him. :')

And yes, he blesses the demons, undeads, and ghosties. Blessing them reduces their formidability. He also likes to slow down their movements sometimes, reduce their defence against holy elements even more, or use a double-damage skill on them... Most priests won't waste their time on this petty moves, going straight for the kill. So, it might just be that Thomas likes to toy with his foes before exorcising them. Huh, never knew he was sadistic. x'D "I'm not sadistic," Thomas objects. "I am just playful when we're one-on-one, ah ha ha..." ┑(￣▽￣)┍

My dA friend mentioned Spirou when I was chatting with him and it brought back memories. So, I wanted to try draw in a Spirou-esque style. Apparently, I failed; but I decided to just mix in my usual style and keep this. It kinda reminds me of my Picayune, haha. I also realised that I changed the way I drew nose over the years. The Thomas drawing above is my originally-intended style. Rounded, not pointed.

✨ :: 47-51 [AL] A Piht Does What A Piht Wants ::

Just a silly doodle. xD I confess, I am liking drawing this beady eyes.
And I actually had two sketches before this one, but I don't like them anymore, so I skipped ahead to this one. u_u

A Piht Does What A Piht Wants -- featuring my little bean, Piht the Piht who is relaxing after eating pearl millets and playing with his toy ball.

What's a Piht? Free spirit. Fluff of joy. Embodiment of free will and freedom.
(They're a race in my story based on Eurasian Tree Sparrows. They are small and love to be in groups. Males have black spots on the cheeks, usually very visible once reaching adulthood. But don't mind Piht's.)

✨ :: 47-46 [NX] Old OCs ::

My old OCs (as in created for a long time already). From left: Priscilla, Clara Alexandra, Marinette Lochlann, Dandelia Andrews, and Starr.

Background is [2D cartoon city street vector] by Yuliya Pauliukevich. I only added the lower half to fill in the rest of the blank space.

I really wanted to draw so much but was out of ideas; and then I decided to draw my old OCs. They were originally in a medieval fantasy setting (the overpopular setting, lol); but I also had them in an AU set in present time... and that time was 1999.

Priscilla is a fashion model, graceful like an angel; Clara is a rollerskating tough cookie; Marinette was her rebellious bestie who could sing; Dandelia was a fan of mystical things and loved to swim; and Starr is just a free spirit.

✨ :: 47-44 [AT] Anja for PeachyProtist ::

Done for a spontaneous art trade with @/PeachyProtist on dA, of their OC Anja! Anja is an Imperial Elite Knight (the only female), and she is one tough bunny. She is also an ISFJ like me! xD

This IEK uniform looks simple, but somehow it was quite challenging for me to draw! Still, it's always worth it, hahaha. Previously I drew my OC in Protistum's special unit uniform, the Onyx. So, I thought, "Ha, if I can draw that, I can draw this too." I think Onyx is easier for me, hahaha...

✨ :: 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.

Lillian Schwartz implements the collaging of a painting and drawing with a whole other medium, the computer, in Mona/Leo (1987).

✨ :: 47-40 Halloween Party ::
A collaboration for Halloween art with @/Classoo on dA~
Featuring our OCs, my laidback Idun and her vogue Claudia! Idun is dressed as angel, while Claudia is dressed as devil. They're at a Halloween event and they've won award for best costume! Well, those costumes sure look realistic, those wings and teeth... o_O

Idun art by me; Claudia, event host & background by @/Classoo.
We officially started the collab on 14th Sept, slowly completing our parts. I took so long for Idun because I wasn't sure how to design and colour her dress, hahaha. But ehhh all in all, it was a fun time, got to practise my non-chibi drawing a bit, hehehe...

✨ :: 47-42 Cyril, K. ::

This is Kit Cyril and that's his office. He is important. His birthday was on 15th Oct, but I am late... :<

Cyril was known for being the exiled Silveryan who clawed his way up into becoming a wealthy, classy man in Sigma with a taste for nothing lesser than the best... though he does have a liking for toffees and soda. He became CEO of the leading pharmaceutical company, Neo-Pharma and sponsored major projects that the Megacorporation worked on, led by Prof. 'Sage Williams'. During the last years of his life, he helped Vic adjust himself to Sigma (and this kind of hospitality is extremely rare in Sigma).

Although reluctant, the Government of Sigma declares Kit Cyril as part of the realm's history, having contributed to the realm in significant ways. Without Cyril, Sigma would not have a portal machine, an inter-realm transit, and a Reprogram machine (which had helped optimise the human capital).

So... Cyril has existed for a very long time alongside all my other characters. He was featured in my story, 'The Journey Home'/TJH at the point he met Vic. TJH website where you can view the characters and read the chapters summary: https://the-journey-home.weebly.com/

✨ :: 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.

✨ :: Lanche the Vampire ::

Art trade done for @/throwawaypeaches on dA! Here is Lanche, flying around as always.
Lanche is a vampire from the game 'Little Dragon's Cafe'. I saw that Lanche ate cookie, so I wanted to draw that in my own way; but then when I watched a YT vid of her, she said she prefers muffins more. And I tried to draw the Cafe's in-game background, hehehe.

"Riding The Wind" by Jef Bourgeau (digital artist, Detroit)

#art #digitalart #jefbourgeau #sailboat #sailing

This is a digital sketch for a woodcut print I plan to make for my animation film project - I want one shot to be a camerarecording of an actual print (or a couple of shots of a couple of prints). One of those silly ideas that will probably make everything harder.

For now you must just make do with the image. I might later write some more about the animation project.

I have been inspired by the Danish artist Palle Nielsen, who made a lot of graphic prints in this style.

:: 47-28 [CTB] The Time After ::

Ragnarök Online fan art to celebrate the completion of my doodly comic which began airing in June. It received good feedback; I'm flattered. It was uploaded only on my dA because it's the best platform for me.

Here are my RO characters (from left): Mef the Shadow Chaser (rogue type), Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (cleric), and Kei Jang the Sniper (archer). At the coffee table is Mef's pet, Li'l Row (a hyena-faced meerkat) and Thomas' pet, Whispersio (a little ghost).

It's been a few days since Mef concluded a super big important mission of his lifetime that results in Thomas now living with him in his beach hometown, Comodo. Kei visits them a lot, but not as much once he [gets married] and becomes the family man he's always wanted to be. It will then be Thomas & Mef who visits him often, haha.

This drawing actually took some effort, but it's worth it. I died making that beaded curtain at the back. :') And thanks to @Classoo for the idea of a Whispersio blanket. x'D Unfortunately I am not good at making it, haha~

I am SO gonna miss this part of my life. :aww:
Onion 2024 Project - COMPLETED!
