alright heres my final project for my illustration class. its a character design challenge that i made into a creature design challenge because why not. also feels like one of the few things ive made i can actually label as speculative evolution, yippee!
A reference for my God Au Charlie...he's been on my mind so much.
If you wanna read the lore there's more under here ♡ and if you have any questions feel free to submit an ask!
TW: suicide and mentions of abuse.
Charlie was a normal human who suffered a lot of injustice in his life. Despite it all he remained kind and forgiving. He was a doctor who didn't always charge money for his services. One day after his boyfriend had beaten him, he ran to his close friend Sterling. Whom upon hearing, decided that he would take matters into his own hands. As Sterling left Charlie in a vulnerable state, he made his way to the river. A place he often sought comfort in. He decided that he had had enough. He felt completely unloved. He died in the river, found later by his friend Sterling. He needed to be held one last time. After this, he ascended to Godhood and disappeared in Sterling's hands. When he did, he watched over Sterling, yearning and hoping they would meet again.
Recent doodle I turned into a full color piece!
I drew a lot of inspiration from Cartoon Saloon's stylization and background magic effects, specifically their movies Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers, and The Secret of Kells!

do i really need to say more???
a little guy, wanted to use the base @erimimikyuwu made and it was very fun.
it seems i havent done proper character art in a while ive been too busy with assignments.,. alas., ill post some of them later probably
wear your soul on your sleeve just walk under the cut!
been thinking about fairies and amping up their design (more) recently. decided since theyre bugs theyll have another pair ‘a arms.,. also the drawing above is losely based on my character azalea if i wasnt tryin to be accurate <3
fairy lore n developments:
also going to give them more distinct physical classes (based on bug castes) (more specifically leafcutter ants are what ive been looking at recently). very intrigued by the giant tank ants that have little ants to defend them so im thinking about military units fashioned after that.
another thing ive decided is that the patterned side of their wings would face forwards for social reasons so other fairies can see while the usually camouflaged side would face backwards (less of a target from behind). this is specifically the opposite of how butterflies have wings to be camouflaged when closed.
still deciding how theyre going to properly protect these giant ass flimsy wings when not using them but all ive got right now is that their wings are much stronger than the average butterfly.,. and perhaps they cover their wings with some protective material.
oh yeah i was also thinking about how due to the social and physical distinctions being based on caste, and the fact that sex would not have much of a difference in their builds, that they socially would not have a concept of gender as related to sex, but their closest approximation would be caste which i think is a fun dynamic (get ungendered idiots)
