Valravn 2.0

finally made a character sheet for them :>

The Valravn breaks out

Animation Practice! I have not done real animation until the beginning of this year and it’s only been a few logo animations before my shoulder gave out. Now I’m more or less back and had this wild need to try and draw part of Zephyr’s transformation.

And guys.. I had FUN! oh my god this was a ton of fun! Kinda just did it all by gut feeling but I’m really proud of the outcome!

masks I've made

Valravns on the prowl!

Ever since I finished my valravn mass attack last year, I asked myself, how could I ever follow it up? I missed quite a few characters last year (I am SO sorry that I missed you guys) and there's going to be newcomers this year. What should I do? Another valravn mass attack, of course.

You can find this piece on Art Fight here. As for what all of these characters are up to and where they're going...well, who knows? Surely nothing nefarious.

" Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps "

I think I've drawn Valerie's monstrous form...once before? I really need to draw it more. More info after the cut.

So I've had the idea for this piece for years now, but I never drew it because I felt like I didn't have the skill to pull it off. Eventually I resigned myself to commissioning another artist to draw it for me, and I started making a quick sketch of my idea...and I kept sketching it...until I had drawn the whole thing myself in a few hours. Guess I just needed to get over myself and draw it mindlessly LOL

I need to make a proper writeup of who Valerie even is one of these days but for now the short summary is: she was born human, but a valravn ripped her heart out and turned her into one of his own. She escaped from him, but she also now has to eat human hearts on a semi-regular basis. Needless to say, it's taken a toll on her mental health.

Oh yeah and here's the no background version

Congrats kids. You got promoted from snack.

to a puppet.
