ЦЕЙ СЕРІАЛ КРУТИЙ
Я дуже довго малювала цей арт. Ескіз лежав ще з минулого літа х)
Demi: It seems that this stranger knows me. Well, her aura is familiar... I guess
У цієї манюньки дивна одежина, вибачайте 🥲
One for when she was 12, starting out as a stonekeeper, one when she's 14-16, a bit later down the line.
Notes:
I have been trying to give Emily a redesign throughout the years, and it was difficult finding out which one worked. On one hand, her kazu design is recognizable but unfortunately every other character is a copy pasted version of that, which doesn't really help her stand out or say anything about her.
I also tried color variations, like giving her a green shirt to complement the hair (and also a ref to videogame heroes like Link), but it honestly doesn't suit her. So i decided to re-stick the basics.
I recall Nausicaa as an inspiration to Emily, so the first drawing is built around that. Her hair is longer there, and nothing about her outfit is "combative" per se, everything is cloth and easy to move around, as she hasn't built a preference to what is best to wear in a fight. She uses a walking stick.
The second one is based on an abandoned manuscript for book 5. Kazu actually planned a shorter haircut and new outfit for Emily (at least on text, not on drawing), so I decided to get a bit more creative. She has darker colors this time around, which symbolizes her going on a darker path bc of her experiences (thnx Max). She also wears armor this time around, as she's a stonekeeper built for offensive magic. I also thought it'd be interesting if I were to give her a sword this time, to show she's more willing to commit serious violence vs her initial rejection of it in book 2, leading her to make more aggressive and lethal attacks.
I also think it'd be a nice foil to Trellis's outfit in this case: Emily starts with light-colored soft clothes, Trellis in dark armor, and then they gradually invert as they go on their journey in life.
Also, I had to look up some ref on how 12 year olds and 15 year olds are, and it's an odd combination of 'wow that's really young' and 'HUH they actually look way older and taller than I assumed in my head', so there's that!
Idk if my 2nd design of her will stick in future art. On one hand, I actually REALLY like it. On the other hand, rather difficult to render. May need to actually create a reference and draw her often that way.
I may or may make redesigns for other characters in the future.
It's night
I have no idea how to draw hanging sleeves
And I don't understand what's going on at all 😭😭😭
study 🏇
I really wanted to draw something. I came across the cover and here it is, so let it be
Hi tumblr artists
Please report milanson
She is a russian who explicitly supports russian invasion of Ukraine, russian military, draws zwastika (z) in her works, draws humanizations of countries, and degrades Ukraine by doing so. Also spreads russian propaganda
She has the audacity to include Ukraine in her tags
Draws the conservative russian political party affiliated with Putin and Medvedev
We can create a space without russian supporters freely drawing russian propaganda by reporting it
Upd, last picture: she's also very obviously racist, but I don't want to scroll her telegram anymore. You can check it out yourself 💀
Beautiful as always
I don’t need love if it won’t be like Howl and Sophie’s
