Here's the first concept sketch I made for another Kid Icarus AU :)
Idea: After the events of KIU, Pit starts to make some changes to his schedule and picks up a hobby, as per Dark Pit's suggestion. He becomes an inventor/craftsman with the help of Dyntos and makes himself and Pittoo a pair of functional wing enhancers made with pegasus feathers. The devices allow them both to fly on their own. Here Pit is watching Pittoo take off with his set of wing enhancers for the first time ^^
This AU is called Surface Pressure and Pegasus Feathers! (also the name of a fanfic I'm working on for it :)
The first part of the title is because it's fun to imagine the song "Surface Pressure" from Encanto as Pit venting to Dark Pit lol. I scripted an animatic, but decided showing how the lyrics relate though a fanfic would allow me to show this concept sooner lol)
More fun ideas in the fanfic:
-Pit and Dark Pit get pegasus friends and name them ^^
-The bois learn how to read & write
-Dark Pit is determined for Pit to find his own way to deal with his issues (and is also really good at persuasion)
-The fic is essentially about what it takes for Pit to fully learn "philautia" (regard for one's own happiness/self-love.) He has a lot of agape (Selfless/unconditional love), but it needs to be balanced :)

Link to the first chapter if you want a sneak peak while I figure out how the HECK to use AO3 lol:
Meme moment in the fic:
My experience so far with college:
Dark Pit but he reforms the mirror shards as flight feathers and uses them to make his wings look cooler >:)
I wanna continue drawing but my tablet pen dropped off the face of the earth a few hours ago rip
@planeoftheeclectic that's exactly it! It's an arrow and wind trail / the air being pushed outwards as Dark Pit dodges.
There's a lot more outward wind in the sketch I made of my AU DP, which the poster is based on! Adobe Illustrator can be a bit tough for novices so the poster looks a lot more stiff haha
A poster project I did for one of my college classes! I'm advertising KIU to my peers whenever I can haha
(Very minor Diakóptis chapter 28 spoiler) Was reading the new chapter of Diakóptis on ao3 and noticed a particular line that seemed.. familar. Hades knows, @farvaduvet Should any artist who agrees run perhaps? Maybe. The forth wall is non-existent. *Books it*
That would curtainly be an interesting thing to witness xD
(I just now realized how intense the colors of the reference I used for Phosphora were lol. I'm easily entranced by bright colors)
If I were to give it an explaination, I'd say this close to what happens when she stands in an intense ray of light from the sun / other bright light sources. Her fur stands out alone already but under those conditions, it tends to take on a luminesent look that would make any regular person do a double take and question what reality they're in lol
Darkpaw takes it as a sign that it's too bright / hot outside to be in the sunlight lol. If she looks somewhat like this (an actual lightning flash) :
He's either not coming out of his den that day or jumping in a pond lol
And indeed they are!! :D The Fluffball of Darkness is quite content with his funky new plant family ^^
DARKPAW IN NATURECLAN HOURS :))
Top left: Darkpaw makes sure he's taken seriously upfront, whilst also sounding very ominous. Vineblossom is very confused oof, That moment when a child breaks into your home and announces he killed your enemy
Top right: Vineblossom is even more bewildered about his terms of living on her territory and only being identified as a "Warrior of Nature", but ends up accepting him anyway. The clan needs the help. (And she is also concerned for his health because of the state of his tail.)
[There's also a reference to Farvaduvet's "silly KIU AU" because Vineblossom would definitely give him a flower to wear and it would likely be a petunia lol]
Bottom left: That moment when you just sat down after doing chores but then someone asks you to do another task >:(
(Darkpaw is annoyed, and the flower suffers. Fun fact: Petunias represent soothing nature, resentment, and anger)
But look, the leaf is back! He found one like the one he wore when he was younger :)
(I imagine they use honey or treesap to put accessories on their fur. Or sheer force of will and artistic freedom)
Also, Serenemoon is Arlon. He will be drawn another time ^^
Bottom middle: NatureClan is known to tend to nature very often as part of their duties. Here, after showing him how to graft, Vineblossom supervises Darkpaw as he secures the new branch to the tree.
Vineblossom then starts thinking about how the tree was damaged and is bitter towards the rogues that invaded her clan and ended up trampling her plants and stealing prey. She is not fond of rogues at all.
Darkpaw sees her staring into space, full of ire, and takes his turn now to be confused lol
Bottom right: Darkpaw goes on patrol with Lightningflash (Phosphora).
She often calls him a Fluffball of Darkness, so he shuts this conversation down immediately
(He is a fluffball of darkness tho)
Illustration: Darkpaw rests in his den, tail fully recovered and looking healthier. Vineblossom passes by and is glad to see her apprentice feels comfortable being in this clan space a lot more than he ever was in CalamityClan :)
Drew the twins but as older teens and still 100% dorks :)
A small KIU Aggie.io collab from members of our server, featuring: @brushstrokes-art @surachibee @mango-peach-strawberry @polarisblitzwing @verdanturfwind and @ASiscoLink!
A big collab I did with the cool people of @robeatnic 's server! Farvaduvet had an idea that all our au Pits should live an apartment together, so I drew up a background for a collab and we all worked together to create this shared space where aus collide ^^
Here's everyone who was a part of this~

Hello! Welcome to my art blog! :) I like animation, drawing, writing, and generally creating things. Animation is my passion and my major, and something I hope to get a lot better at! Current hyperfixations: Kid Icarus Uprising, MLP, Warrior Cats, WOF, MHA, FOP: A New Wish, and Gravity Falls :) Probably will keep reblogs mostly to responses for now, but that may change in the future lol Have a good day! ^^
