:: 46-057 [NX] Where Shall I Fly My Drone ::

My OCs, Thiazi and Jayden Lazarus.

Some of the people at the Nexus Camp have been asking Jayden, their unofficial camp leader if the camp would ever grow bigger. Jayden told them that he'd have to make sure the surrounding area is safe enough for expansion first.

Thiazi the soldier Aquila is ready to be ordered to scout, being the only one who could literally provide them with a bird's eye view of the area.
(it is amazing that his uniform is still intact...)

So, now Jayden is thinking of where to ask Thiazi to scout first. North is the safest bet, west is too... east side risks entering Aquila territory, and south carries the risk of hostility from the Nocturnals. North first, or west first? Hmm~

:: 46-046 [SG] Who Dis ::

What's up, people! Been a while eh...
Here be my OC, the I.T. guy Tsumura, taking a break from work. From this outdoor area, he could see typical Sigma weather: grey skies.

He was contemplating on renewing a PC game subscription when he suddenly gets a call from a super ancient number that he could've sworn was no longer in use. He doesn't have this contact saved in his phone, but he remembers this number. It belongs to someone whom, like the number, was long gone.

Is it who he thinks it is? Is it possible??
Tsumura nervously answers the call...

Misc. Notes:
Hello hello, everyone! I can't believe my sketches were left forgotten thanks to family chaos. Maybe that's why my brain refuses to think of drawdraw ideas. x'D I ended up completing this one quickly because I got overexcited to finally be drawing again! xD

How Do You Prove An AI Didn’t Make Your Art?

In the world of digital art, distinguishing between AI-generated and human-made creations has become a significant challenge. Almost overnight, tool sets for generating AI artworks became commonly …

I've not been doing much painting for a while, but latest release Krita 5.2 is here!

Digital art. My store of imagery- to make a GIF. I have those individual jpegs’ “entertained here a few”. They are in freehand digital conception. They are nothing more then a conceptual mix of tones, colours, free falling line’s, or an elephant perhaps? Someone discarding to a napkin..... #digitalart

the placing of a multi pixelated angle of triangles in filtering in a crystal filter.

the conceptual intent came in the form of, a filter resembling Vincent.

Sunsetting to a soft-honeycomb colour.

:: 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.

:: 46-049 [SG] Still Stuck ::

This be my OC, Tsumura and his new work attire. It's not a shirt, but it's not his usual style either since he still has to dress decently as a government employee. As long as he wears government colours, they shouldn't pick on him too much...

Tsumura is stuck as a government employee with no way out. Technically, there is a way out, but staying in is always easier. This is what you get for being a gang member and messing with the government. While Vic gets transferred to the north, Tsumura will always be in the capital. Alone. Just the way they want him.

At least, they let him wear his goggles and remain staying at the government quarters.

:: 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.

:: 46-046 [RO] Typical Day ::

Wasn't sure if I wanted to share this here as well, but...

My RO characters (from left): Thomas the Archbishop (priest), Kei the Sniper (archer), and Mef the Shadow Chaser (rogue). The archer and rogue are fan-fic only characters. I don't have them in-game. Background is game screenshot of Prontera. Might be too blurry to see its fountain and the church at the back.

Here Thomas gives his best friend, Kei a typical day's greeting. He likes to tease Kei, but Kei doesn't mind. Together, they would train, but would later part ways when Kei goes off to do his side gig of a delivery man. Meanwhile, Mef was enjoying a candy cane that morning. He sees them and recognises the priest whom he still wants to know the name of (but can't ask directly, to avoid suspicions).

Drawn based on my Ragnarök Online fan fiction which I wrote for the sake of stress-relief and boredom. The story is about how a newbie agent (Mef) of a rogue guild gets caught up in a high-ranking case surrounding a priest (Thomas). All he wanted to know was the priest's name and while he did get to know it, the case turns serious and he gets dragged into it with seemingly no chance of escape.

P/S: Thomas is called a pervert by Kei because he once told Kei (among other things) that he wanted Rothert (a badass AB)'s boots on his face. Thomas: ≖‿≖ o̶r̶ ̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶s̶l̶a̶m̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶a̶l̶l

Thomas is a nice guy, whatever it is.

:: 46-045 [SG] Can't Go Wrong ::

My OC, Vic enjoying his current task as a newbie army technician.

He met with a skilled mechanic from a workshop along the streets of the Northern District. The mechanic (a Nocturnal named Sergi) told him, "The best thing about working with machines is that you just follow the blueprint and everything will work the way it's supposed to. You can't go wrong. Everything connects to something."

Vic found himself agreeing to this. Good thing he could memorise blueprints without even trying. He should be able to fix things on the fly. As he continued working, he thought, 'Maybe those damn old men made a good decision after all, sending me here...'

Notes:
I didn't make him this way just because he's an ISTP. Dude's been this way even before I knew about MBTI; and even so, I totally did not expect Vic to be an army technician. Gawrsh... M'boi is all grown up now, fixing big toys. :') Also, I just drew this for fun and did not really research technical stuff. I do welcome comments of it, hehe (if I'm wrong or whatever).

:: 46-044 [SG] You Again ::

My OCs, Vic and Aaron. It seems like a fateful meeting has taken place. After a few months of being in military camp, Vic was transferred to the Northern District of Sigma. Unknown to him, his former boss named Aaron was also transferred there (but months before him).

As he tried to find his way around, Vic stumbled upon Sector 24 of the ICM that made metals. They met up at the bridge at the entrance and did a quick catching-up. Vic eventually spoke to Aaron about how he felt like leaving the army if he could; but Aaron told him to stay put, that he might learn something. Give it a year or two.

"...I might need an extra pair of hands from time to time, who knows? Whenever you're free, that is," said Aaron.
"Always looking to boss me around, huh," joked Vic. "Slave driver."
"And you're unexpectedly my favourite slave."
Vic smiled. Their work style was compatible with each other, and he found that interesting as well.

Well, Vic ought to get going. He doesn't want to get bad rap with Silas.

:: 46-043 [SG] Unsuspecting Victim ::

Vic starts getting used to Silas' rigidness and realises that Silas is actually pretty strict. Vic would liken him to an army version of Aaron.

Speaking of Aaron...

...Vic recalls that after RESET was shut down, Aaron was nowhere to be seen. Whenever Vic mustered enough courage to call or message him, he never picked up. There were a few rare times when he did reply Vic's messages, though... but all in short sentences. Where has Aaron gone to and what is he up to?

While thinking of this, Vic walks on along the hallway to get to the ICM Sector he's assigned to for the week; but he realises he was lost, against all odds. 'Must've taken a wrong turn somewhere...' he thought. 'Man, this is a new low (for a guy who memorises floor plans for a living).' Meanwhile, someone peeks in from the doorway of the Smelting Sector. An eager face.

P/S: Got an idea for basic ICM structure by looking up SIC codes. Man, sure makes me miss my old job.

:: 46-042 [SG] Relocation ::
(SG = Sigma realm)

My OCs, Silent Silas and Project Vic.

Alas, the Sigma Government's Dept of Defence decided to cease operations for their subdivision, RESET. That means everyone in RESET will be relocated accordingly. Mr Aaron is powerless against the Board of Directors, no matter how much of a smooth talker he can be.

As such, Vic has been (forcefully) transferred to be part of the army. He is given proper training and he'd be in the technical team due to his 'kinship' with blueprints. For practical training, he is relocated to the Northern District, an industrial region —on an inside joke that "machines should mingle with machines", to which Vic gives his superiors the finger and gets court-martialed. And during that time also, Vic sneered at them, saying machines can't be court-martialed, so they can go fek themselves. He gets detention/imprisonment for two months (one month per offence). Apparently, he's a machine when it comes to work, but a person when it comes to punishment.

Anyway, Vic has no complains about going north because he has been wanting to modify his skateboard for winter terrain anyway... and it beats having to look at the idiots at HQ. So, for starters, he gets transferred to a familiar government agency, the Infrastructure and Construction Management (ICM), and he is to report to a familiar poker face: that of Silent Silas'. He tries to get a peek at Silas' tablet to know where he is to be assigned.

Misc. notes:
I actually wrote a little piece on Vic's transfer to the ICM, but I didn't realise I deleted it... So, I don't know which Sector number of the ICM is for what activity... T_T If I have life in me, I will (re)think the ICM layout a bit.

:: 46-041 [NX] Notes of a Sage ::
(Failed attempt at non-chibi, lol.)

So, we know what Jayden's been up to, and what Annie & Matsuri are doing... but what about the rest of the main team? What happened to the infamous Professor 'Sage Williams' and the legendary wayfarer, Simon Alexander?

You see... Not too long after everyone settled down, those two were the first to leave the camp and of course, without authorisation. Supposedly, they left together, but parted ways later on. 'Sage' had gone south to the dry plains of Vista, holing up in one of the many caves there; while Simon just wanted to travel, and anywhere will do as long as it wasn't Silverya (where the camp's at).

Today, however, he decides to visit 'Sage', going from one cave to another until he finds one that looked like someone lived there. He announces his presence, but receives no reply. He enters and walks further inside the cave, only to see that no one is in. Without second thoughts, he glances through 'Sage's notes. They were either pierced onto wall bumps that was filed down to become stubs or hooks, or on twigs of any plants within reach.

On one of the paper he reads is actually a note to 'Sage' left for him: "One could wait years for a possibility to safely come home, or one could gamble it all and do this now. —SW" Beneath the message are numbers a seasoned traveller like him definitely understands. Most likely, this is the location or probable portals...

...and most likely, it will lead him back to Sigma.
