Cuz I Sure Do Have Lots Of Those - Blog Posts

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND <3

so, let's start with the thing that gave me most trouble: colour choices :,D

going in I knew from the text that her clothes would be primarily pink with purple and yellow accents, but also I envisioned her with pink hair and skin that looks quite pink, but can pass off as just a normal skintone. now, as you might've noticed, while the skin does fit that idea (at least I hope), the hair doesn't. and that's because I just couldn't make it look good :,). I played around with the options quite a lot, but it just kept bouncing around between "that looks overwhelmingly pink in a bad way" and "I somehow managed to design a demonic version of pinkie pie by accident yet again" (I mean, with the latter I guess it would've been fine, but when I tried out golden hair I liked it waaaaay more). so I decided to lean into her hair being more golden and even tried matching it to her eyes >:3 (not 1 to 1 obv, but I aimed for both kinda having glowing effect to them). and since I cannot stop coming up with lore whenever I do designs, I reasoned that maybe she kinda shows her status even through her hair. because even if she's standing with her back to you and you can't see her eyes, your gaze will still be met with that golden yellow. the rest of the colours kinda came intuitively, I just had to play around with brightness and saturation a bit lol

now, next up. the horns :). I remember the text describing her as having "horns too tall, teeth too sharp" and I might've taken that a bit too seriously lol. I think they're about as tall as her head? but also they don't look overwhelmingly tall (at least to me), which I really like. from the moment I first imagined her I knew I wanted her horns to kinda be more ornate, with them splitting into different sections and going different ways. and I think I did pretty well at that. and again, to make up lore where there wasn't any given, I feel like she'd try to set herself apart from and higher than other demons even through appearance. that includes horns. because as far as I can tell, even if some demons choose to wear jewelry on their horns, it's not many (maybe it's cost-related idk). so maybe she sees horns as part of the "animalistic nature of demons" and sets herself apart from it and most demons by adorning them. I also added the kinda teardrop shaped gems to kinda show her silently saying "if you go against me that's what your blood is gonna look like :)"

now some miscellaneous parts :D !

starting with the teeth. I fr went "oh they're sharp?" *gives shark teeth* (although I'm now imagining her like a shark with several rows of them and omg). I do imagine her showing them as intimidation tactic most of the time except when she's trying to play being more innocent than she is.

next up is the dagger. I'm not sure if this classifies as a kris, but that's the only wavy dagger I could find. I remember seeing her described as "a dagger coated in honey" and decided that this is gonna be her weapon of choice (although if I'm gonna continue with that line of thought Two is gonna give me one hell of a time, my only guess for now doesn't really suit his personality :,) ). and it's wavy because I imagine that'd be a lot more painful and do a lot more damage this way (I imagine that out of the big three she is the one who'd deal with interrogations and stuff)

and finally the tattoo. ngl it came to my mind rather randomly, but I like the thought of the Big Three having their numbers on their bodies (although ngl I have NO idea where it'd be for Three)

also here's live footage of me every time you answer to my posts :3

spoilers for Finale - Part 2 of When The Dawn Breaks made by @cedar-scented-soap

(if you haven't read it I highly recommend you go do that :3)

so, I was reading it and had a vision, a meme that I could make. but then I realized that I'd need visual design concepts for the Big Three, so I decided to have a go at it myself >:3

starting with One!

now, you may notice that I've yet again forgotten to give a character from wtdb their wings. and I've actually noticed it back when I was doing lineart, but couldn't fit it in nicely, so just imagine they're there. I'll probably make the wing designs into another post, but we'll see

and ngl, I started writing out my thoughts on design choices, but I have too many of those for this post, so I shall hold myself back :,) (if even just ONE (1) person asks me about those I'm writing a whole damn essay)
