ArtFight 2020 Round 1!

XZeroWeek: Day 6

Sometimes I wonder that if I keep talking to you, that maybe you could hear me.

The Silver Bullet, an assassin that hunts down only the wealthy and prideful. Was once a phantom thief, but due to an accident, turned his attention to taking out the people he once stole from.

First signs of the Irregular Virus:

Aggression, irritability, or stand-offish behavior.

Bleeding of internal fluids and coolant from the eyes.

Internals overheating to fatal levels, slowly melting to slag.

Little AU piece for the ol RP blog don't mind me <3

Raised under harsh expectations, a dangerously competitive sibling and an expansive library, Vesperling Williams is a bit of a prodigy, a fast learner and an even faster problem solver (of most things). His mother was a powerful Necromancer, and his father was a man of many magics, considered to be one of the most powerful magic users in the world. This eventually led to Vesper, who inherited both of their combined magics when he was born, enough that it caused his mother’s death upon birth. As powerful as that makes him, he cannot use all of his magic freely as his father can, resulting in magical recoil. Vesper, with all the magic in him, experiences magical recoil often; there are few spells he can complete without damaging himself purely because he cannot always control the amount of magic he puts forth. This doesn’t happen with alchemy and summoning/necromancy, as one is given to him naturally as an ability through his mother and the other involves the mixing of magical properties, not creating elements/things from nothing. Thankfully the amount of recoil he receives lessens after Volt is summoned because the Demon can balance it out, though there is still risk of injury with any ability Volt isn’t naturally gifted with. When he was eighteen, he summoned the Wrath Demon known as Volt (Voluntas), and had a very simple contract that puzzled the irritable Infernal: “I wish for a best friend.” Volt agreed, seeing that such a contract would be easy, and that he would gain a powerful soul in return, though warned the human exactly what would happen to him. Vesper wholeheartedly accepted. Most people at the time found it unnerving for the young man to be followed by ominous creatures like hellhounds or Infernal Dragons, but Vesper always assured them he was in no trouble! After all, Volt was his best friend! Now that he’s a few years older, Vesper currently is a Senior in Westborough College of Magi (WCOM), only a few months away from graduating. His true major follows his natural abilities, Summoning/Necromancy, and has a sub in Alchemy. (Necromancy is a subcategory of Summoning, as it is summoning a specific thing– souls– hense why Vesper can perform Summoning with relative ease.) In his downtime, Vesper loves cooking and baking. If you ask him why, he’ll say it’s similar to Alchemy, and easy to follow. In his late teen years, he started subbing magical ingredients to his food instead of the regular option, to see what would happen, of if he could make something completely new! (Think like food buffs in video games lol.) He’s a pretty cheerful guy with a steep level of patience, and rarely loses it. But like any person, he has his bad moments, and has to fight self deprecation built on a family competing for their father’s attention. It’s a rough time, but he’s got Voluntas to help him keep it together.

Aaaand with that, 2022 comes to a close. 

A lot happened this year. My day job took on a turn for the more chaotic, and I had to turn to full-time work, which impacted my ability to do art greatly, and I... hate to admit it but my depression flared up far more considerably than expected because of it as well.

But despite everything, I can say with confidence that overall... this was a good art year. For everything I’ve made, I’ve been fairly satisfied with my growth, even if the majority has been spent once again on character designing, lol.

I didn’t like that I couldn’t draw as much no, but.... hey! I participated in a zine for the first time, (which you’ll get to see more of in the future), and my wife and I got into around eight Cons to host our art in, which is SO COOL. We want to do more in the future.

I know a lot of things in this preview are from things that I haven’t posted, and I would like to get better on that in the future... ^^; Maybe that’ll be a minor goal for me come 2023.

Thank you for still following me on this journey. <3

XZero Week 2024 - Promise

(This requires a great deal of context from our RP blogs involving time loops and multiversal chaos and you're welcome to ask me and my wife more about it, but here's the long and short of it:

Think of this as X getting a sort of premonition pre-X1. Z hasn't died (yet), so why did he have a nightmare about something that hasn't happened...? 🫠 )

We had a great time at Retromania Denver this weekend! Thank you everyone who came to hangout with us!

Serendipity

good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries
