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

Ragnarök Online fan art of my Shadow Chaser, Mef.

47-05 [RO] Masked Mef by EarlyOnion.jpg

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.

:: 47-04 [SWL] Rocket Launcher::
(original title: Wearin' the Wild West While on a Wild Quest)

Told myself to make more OC art, but I gone ahead and made this, thanks to a chat with an online friend. x'D

47-04 [SWL] Rocket Launcher by EarlyOnion.jpg

So, this be a 'Secret World Legends'/SWL fan art of my game character, Sal. Originally from RO, Sal's migrated to SWL for good.

Yeah, that's... a rocket launcher. Sal got excited when she was told to "pick up the rocket launcher". Blasted a lot of gigantic baddies with this one. It was so fun. They even let us use the mortar prior to this. xD

As for Sal's outfit, it was somewhat a freebie from the game, a cowboy outfit. It had a hat, a shirt, some denims, and funky boots. Sal's boss said to change into something else in order to lay low... so Sal rummaged her closet and found this Wild West get-up.

For those curious on the Rocket Launcher skills, check out Unfair's video. Unfair is the master of walkthroughs. This one refers to the old Secret World, but it's so good.

:: 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).

46-062 [RO] Kei's Wedding by EarlyOnion.jpg

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...

:: 46-058 [RO] Break Time ::

Starting off 2024 with Ragnarök Online/RO fan art! I'm sorry if y'all bored of it but this is where my mind is mostly at. T_T This was actually completed before Christmas, but I pushed it back to make way for 'Christmassy' uploads, haha.

46-058 [RO] Break Time by EarlyOnion.jpg

This is based on a scene in my fan fic. Here's Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop/AB and Kei the Sniper. Oh, that's Thomas' pet ghost in the middle, Whispersio. Sometimes he's up and about, sometimes he's asleep in his Little Ghost Coffin.

They are sitting after having done some training. Kei is making arrows to restock his quiver (he refuses to buy, preferring to make them himself) and Thomas is going to drink Holy Water as refreshment. And yes, Thomas' weapon is... a Wrench. It wasn't easy to get.

OK, so I couldn't resist it. An RO Holidays fanart. xD Featuring my iRO characters, 'Un' the Summoner and Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop... and their pets! Un has a little piglet in her pouch, while Thomas has a little ghost by his side.

:: 46-054 Inktober 6-9 ::

Continuing the Inktober~ (a.k.a. my Doodle-tober)

46-054 Inktober 6-9 by Early Onion.jpg

Inktober 6: Golden + Inktober 7: Drip
This is Vic. Sort of a redraw of an old drawing. Vic's colour is always red, but I remember how his hazel eyes shone like gold under the sun. Hence, 'golden'. The drip part... well, I decided to change the rain in the old art to just gold liquid dripping down the windows. I used my gold glitter pen for that. It's so sparklyyyy~~ xD

Inktober 8: Toad
This is Toad's mascot(?), a toad. Toad is a database management toolset. I don't use it and only knew of it thanks to this prompt. I wonder if any folks here would know of this tool software thingy.

Inktober 9: Bounce
RO fan art featuring the main trio of my fan fic (which I am still holding on to the desire to make a doodly comic of)!
Outside the city walls, Thomas gives prayers to a bouncing pink blob called Poring (I'd call it RO's mascot), thus increasing the Poring's movement speed. Usually a slow fella, this Poring is now faster than his peers! Kei is in stitches upon seeing this. For some reason, seeing fast Porings always cracks him up real good. Even the thought of it is enough to make him laugh. Mef, while 'hiding' in a barrel, makes a dry face seeing this silliness. He thinks to himself, 'Yeah OK, it's a tiny bit funny... if you're 5. Geez.'

:: 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.

46-051 [RO] Lazy Afternoon by Early Onion.jpg

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.

46-047 [RO] Mef by Early Onion.jpg

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.

:: 46-037 [RO] Recollection ::

My RO game character, Archbishop Thomas Benedicta, back when his faith was wavering.
I think this might be the last of Thomas you will see for now. ^^

46-037 [RO] Recollection by Early Onion.jpg

When I expected good, then evil came;
When I waited for light, then darkness came.
My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
For I am afflicted and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is appalled within me.
—Job 30:26; and Psalms 38:10, 109:22, 143:4.

"...Better by far
It seemed to me
had the wolves
taken my life,
or had I been burnt
as a birchen tree."
—The Poetic Edda

I kinda wish the religious job/class in RO were more... Norse than Christianity. That would make them so perfect. Anyway, I tried to find some relevant quotes from Norse religious texts (instead of Bible) since the people of Midgard mostly worship Odin (if not Freja); but ehhh the Norse didn't exactly have a written holy scripture of anything. The Poetic Edda is the one legend, and that quote has the vibe, so I took it.

:: 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.

46-036 [RO] Resting Peacefully by Early Onion.jpg

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.)

:: 46-034 [RO] Morning Reading ::

Ragnarök Online fan art featuring my Archbishop, Thomas Benedicta and his beloved pet ghost, Whispersio.

46-034 [RO] Morning Reading by Early Onion.jpg

Thomas spends his morning reading while enjoying some Holy Water that he bottled himself from the nearby lake. He also gives Whispersio some pet food. Whispersio eats Damp Darkness; it looks like black smoke. After this, Thomas will put his stole on and he will go to do some training against desert wolves.

That's... pretty much his life now.

:: 46-027 [RO] Just Chillin' ::

Hello, everyone!! >///<

After two months of having artist block, I am finally drawing something!
It got started thanks to an Artfol challenge which I will upload once I am done with it. This one finished first because I really wanted to draw this fella.

46-027 [RO] Just Chillin' by Early Onion.jpg

This is a semi-chibi of my Ragnarök Online (iRO) game character, Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop, chilling out with his his little ghost pet, Whispersio at a beach town called Comodo. He's drinking a knock-off of the famous Tropical Sograt cocktail.

I would have wanted to draw him in his church uniform, but I needed something simpler for warming up, but I decided to keep the uniform's trousers and shoes. My warm-up sketch turned out pretty good. So, I made a full drawing. ^^

The town is located inside a cave, light coming from lanterns of sorts and fireworks! Hence, the purplish glow and stuff. Its main attraction is was the casino, but thanks to U.S. laws, the gambling mini-games have been removed, making Comodo a rather pointless city in game.
