Aisling’s finalized Character sheet!

that took me way to long to make as someone with an inconsistent art style-

There’s something I absolutely love about watercolor being incorporated into classic pencil/ink drawings

Like this concept sketch by Hayao Miyazaki:

There’s something about it that I absolutely love and want to incorporate into my style

My part of an art trade with @annlytical 's Lackaoc, Ash Mayfield walking along with the one and only Rocky Rickaby 😌

The gang indulges in some unrestrained summer fun!

This has been a wip for gosh knows how long, but I managed to get it done. It started with just Maire but then everyone got to join in.

The gang mostly belongs to @libras-interactives Lottie belongs to @maryannsstrawberry i belive. So sorry for misattributing her to Libra. Who has custody of Little Lottie I'm still unsure of tho.

Individual pngs below (theyre suposed to be transparent, but i guess tumblr can just decide not to do that sometimes. free website and all that), as well as art thoughts.

We’ll go from left to right

Jack: I feel like if Jack is going to the beach he need some protection from the sun. So along with a early 1920s style mens swimsuit, he’s also got a sun hat and a housecoat. I based it of a womans house coat as they look very light and breathable which probably helps with the heat while keeping him safe from sun. House coats were also generally not uncomon to wear on the beach. I also just like messing around with gender presentation in my art. I’m sure Marius approves.

Marius: Marius is sporting a mens bathing suit from the late 1920s. As he is very fashion forward I felt it fit him to wear something a bit more up to date. His fur pattern does make it look like he was wearing shorts and a t shirt and got sunburned lol. I based his fur on Eveline’s and the photos of the cat he was based on. Maybe a gradient would make it look a bit less silly idk. Feel free to weigh in if you have any ideas.

Eveline: I know Eveline prefers clothing from the late 1900-1910s more but I really loved how she looked with her hair up. I based her bathing suit on a 1920s version but added a few flairs to give it a bit more of a retro vibe for the time.

The Lotties: I gave Lottie a bathing suit with a belt and a cap. As per the laws of the Lackadaisy-verse her ears are tucked safely into her cap. No ear holes here. I wanted to give her a beach bag but I couldn't find any type of purse specifically for that so she’s got a shopping bag instead. I felt she needed somewhere to keep little Lottie's beach toys and sun screen, speaking of: She is wearing a very normal child's bathing suit. Not much to say on it. I focused more on her posing than her fashion.

Máire: the original name for this drawing when I was just planning on drawing her was bathing beauties… Anyway, she strikes me as someone who uses her time at the beach to relax and look good while doing it. Her swimsuit is based on something I saw on Pinterest. It had flowers painted on it which strikes me more as being ornamental. Shes also a pair of fashionable heals and a parasol.

And last but not least Malwina: Malvina’s bathing suit is technically from 1926, so maybe she is just way ahead of the trends. Her shoes are laced beach shoes. I feel like shed take the opertunity to enjoy the fresh air, and swim in the cooling water. Maybe check out some cute boys. I think shed enjoy having a day where she can just be a normal teenager.

Mc is probably around. Maybe off buying soda pops for everyone.

art thoughts below

Ive talked about these goobers before so some of ya’ll might already know I ship my oc Ace with Jack from Under The Devils Moon by @libras-interactives. Ace is generally a very physically affectation person. It comes very naturally to him, witch is something Jack isn't quite used to yet. I dont know if Jack can read but if he cant just imagine he's looking at the comics. Based on this illustration by Al Parker

Finally finished with the Åse standee. The flower inb the back is suposed to be Purple loosetrife.

Purple loosetrifes (Lythrum salicaria) are a pink flower that is part of the Lythraceae family. They bloom in autumn tend to grow near water. They're call Kattehale in Norwegian witch translates to Cattail not to be confused with the American Cattail which I don’t think grow anywhere in Norway. They are one of the many plants that grow around the Mjøsa lake. I chose this flower to represent Ace mostly because of it’s location and name. As far as I can tell it doesn't have any specific meaning but the name lythrum might be derived from the Greek word for blood. Red is Ace’s primary color and in general I associate Ace with blood more specifically the blood that gathers under your nails when scratching someone. (its weirdly specific I know but for some reason thats the strongest visual representation I’ve imagined for Ace for the longest time idk) loosetrife also contains the word strife which I also feel ties into Ace and her story allot.

I went for something more stylized for the flowers. I'm not good at painting realism so I think this is the best I can do lol.

SHES ARRIVED! LOOK AT THIS! Absolutely worth every single penny-
