DP But I Gave Him A Ponytail & Airbrushed His Wings A Bit :)

WIP of an illustration I'm working on for one of my AUs :)

Trying a lineless style (may have to make the sketch more detailed later to capture the shape and positions of his arms better lol)

Experimental scribbles with shading, lighting, textured brushes + sparkles, and excessive use of the smear tool :P

(I do this when I feel like drawing, but my hand won't cooperate and let me draw what I want to draw. I just apply my art skill to scribbles and maybe make it into something like this until the scribbling is less noticeable lol)

Another example below with a different color scheme :)

@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

Hazel and Cosmo & Wanda: my MLP Edition! ~*

Hazel is a crystal earth pony!

- She loves this fact about herself because her hooves are crystal. Her cutie mark relates to her passion for geology and the colorful crystals are representative of her fun and creative personality!

(Plus, I put that shiny out-of-this-world rock in the design, love that gem.)

Fairyzie Lore

- Combining the words Fairy and Breezie since this is a powerful subspecies of breezie! I alternatively thought of "faebreezie" but I can't stop wheezing every time I read that name, so I went with Fairyzie instead ~*

- Decided that fairyzies customize their antennae the way they want them to look with magic. Before then, they have a default antennae look that they are born with, influenced by their parents. They also take the shape of objects around the baby sometimes after birth (Peri's example here: a baby rattle).

Cosmo

- Gave him a comet-like antennae and cutie mark. His cutie mark is cosmic and swirly, fitting to a powerful being (*cough* Von Strangle *cough*). But instead of a mystic spiral, it's a silly swirl in the cosmos :]

Wanda

- Her cutie mark is her wand antenna and a W (for her name) crown above it, surrounded by stars (space and wishes). I feel it's representative of her way of doing things & her fairyzie godparenting.

(Wand antenna-like cutie marks are fairly common amongst godparents and those who like magic, with both her husband and son having hints of this in their marks.)

I had to resize Cosmo & Wanda a lot, so here's the drawing before shrinking them + Hazel by herself too ~

ALSO, SOME EXTRA FAIRYWINKLE-COSMA FAMILY CONTENT!

I was struggling to draw all three characters, so I started sketching these for an extra serotonin boost :]

(1) Baby Peri & Cosmo (Proud dad moment)

(2) Four year old Peri (Please don't put him in an insect collection)

(3) Wanda, speaking to Hazel & Dev: Peri used to curl up like a kitten when he was 4. He called himself "Dapper Cat" and staged a whole dramatic cat tale with Irep

Peri: !! NOOOOOOO

Wanda: It was very cute. He learned his favorite song is "Posin'" when I turned on some music for him to dance to

Fun Facts

- Hazel's reaction afterwards would be "Aww", and Dev says, "That sounds lame."

- Peri really likes electro swing music

- Peri could imitate a kitten 100% accurately and Irep could not. So he taught him and it ended up going like this

That's it for now! Really wanna draw Winn and Jasmine though, who won't be ponies & instead other creatures :]

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 :)

Surface Pressure and Pegasus Feathers

Surface Pressure and Pegasus Feathers Chapter 1: Worth & Service (My Purpose) Ahh, nothing like a nice long morning stroll through Skyworl

Meme moment in the fic:

D:<

Haha, glad you enjoy the headcanon too! :D

He is indeed the king of treat yo'self, self love is v important ^^

School threw a dent in my plans of drawing/editing this idea today, so I'm sharing this here cause I think you in particular might find it amusing too since you headcanon Dark Pit as Aro :)

I like to imagine that in modern times what Dark Pit does on Valentine's day is buy himself a TON of chocolate lol (There is tons of it, so why not)

The king deserves it

Here is the vine that prompted this headcanon lol: https://youtu.be/qFDmE3ePzW8 

(wish it was cut, but it's pretty hard to find lol. The vine is very relatable though xD)

SKJGDHJHFF NO YOU’RE SO CORRECT i love this lmaooo

he’s the king of treat yo’self

Surface Pressure & Pegasus Feathers AU/fic Concepts: Zephyr Lily / Rain Flower :)

Here is a quick visual aid for Zephyr Lily (also known as Rain Flower in Skyworld), Dark Pit's pegasus companion in my KUI AU/fic! (Btw if you're seeing this concept for the first time, everything related is linked in my fic under read more :)

Here are some story-related fun facts ^^

-She was adopted by her herd when she was a foal (Snowfall Fury & Dust Storm took care of her, and she later helped look after their foals (her siblings) for a while before meeting Dark Pit and deciding to leave the nest to help him with his missions)

-Inspiration for her design/name: When I was younger I got a black horse stuffed animal with a white spot on its forehead, which was like the center of a flower to me, so I named her Flower! 

Dark Pit thinks the same thing, except he chooses a specific kind of flower: A rainflower/zephyrlily :)

Because of her inspiration, I like the idea that she was a stuffed animal brought to life through some magic means somehow. I don't know how it would make sense technically, but I think it makes her being drawn to Dark Pit extra special because they were both born from magic ^^

-Rainflowers symbolize rebirth, new beginnings and big expectations (very relevant to Dark Pit in this fic)

It also has another meaning:  "I love you back, I must atone for my sins, I will never forget you"

I would split this between three characters.

I love you back (Dark Pit), I must atone for my sins [mistakes] (Palutena), I will never forget you (Pit)

But telling you exactly why would be spoilers lol, I like to be cryptic ;)))

You can definitely theorize though, all will be clearer eventually! ^^

@farvaduvet This is a what-if scenario where Pit is found by Viridi when he was still a small child. Just an angry downy-winged fluffball with some major "totally E10+" sass. 

He confronts Hades because why not

In general, I'm pretty sure Pit is always ready to throw hands with any god or goddess at any age.

(AU) Baby Pit? Probably bit Palutena or something idk lol
