This took me a couple of days to make and it STILL doesn't have all of my characters (Terris and Cosmos (the embodiments of time and space) aren't even featured in it!)!
Characters featured are:
The embodiments of the Soul Cycle (Samule, Vivian, Grim, and Karmen); Head Sower (Mallery); Head Reaper (Mitch); Reapers (Calem and Kira Shinigami); Humans (Zacharie Judge, Eric Cross, Alexis Raine, Camilla Raine, Valerie Valentine, Janett, Cross (formerly Felican), Emelie, Naomi, and Lucas Enovell); Gods (Stephen, Alisson, and Jesus); Devils (Adem, Miyoto, Lucifer, and Satan); Angels (Alyssa); Demons (Angela, Demion, Lucious Lennore, and Syphil); Spirits (Kiki the Kitsune); Halfbreeds (the Witches Evelyn and Abigale, and Desmond Eldrich (???)); and Anomalies (the Unkillable Trio: Nova, Insani, and Psychoe)
Jegus I just counted 37 people! Seriously, there are even more of these guys, and each one carries their own story!
I love each and every one of these characters and my goal is to share them and their stories with you all.
Here are some drawings from a giant sketchbook
This Sketchbook was originally for my 12th grade art class but I didn't end up using it much
One assignment was to draw things that contrasted, so I turned to my characters
I will always adore that smiling face of Psychoe's
This was the page where I created the main character in the first arc of my comic series (i promise i will work on it, the release of Hazbin Hotel's pilot episode has given me the inspiration to do so) Desmond Eldrich!
As you can clearly see, I have difficulties completely killing characters, especially with the way the worlds systems work. So I tried to make a character for the sole purpose to have them die.... and I ended up with sweet lil Desmond here... and I just couldn't do it.
Stuff from when I was fleshing out his character a bit
One thing I've noticed when I draw characters is that their hair is almost always a floof with curls. Especially the boys. I can't seem to keep it from doing that so I try other things to make each character's design as unique as their personalities
Examples of this:
Kira has a very specific floof to his hair and is almost always wearing his grey hoodie
Grim's hair floof is in the same shape as Kira's but much more curled and he usually wears a tattered coat (think Garry from Ib)
Satan's hair always does this weird "swoop" to one side
Nova always has his stitch marks across his face and wearing a white suit
Miyoto has a very curly hair floof that covers their right eye (unless in a non-human form)
Karmen's hair is very long and her bangs cover her eyes
Lucifer has less of a floof that covers his right eye and he is almost always wearing something that covers his neck injury, and said thing usually ends up covering his mouth too
I could honestly go on but I'll stop here
Meet Desmond Eldrich! He’s the young man we’ll be following in the first arc of my comic series.
Until I’m finished with enough chapters to post, I’ll have an addition to my ask box to ask Desmond anything!
Idk just a silly idea i had
Leo is a girl and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna name that fish Larry
Hello all, Illy here, and I’m happy to announce that I’m back home from school and got myself a new laptop that is AMAZING for art.
Also decided to try out Krita for my comic, which btw, 3 handrawn pages done!!!! Next step is to scan them in and touch them up with my new stuff.
I’m so so SO happy to be able to continue drawing that it has reignited my motivation to work. For a while I had little to no motivation to do much of anything for a couple months due to stress at school, and my previous laptop not cooperating with my tablet.
But that’s all behind me now... I’m back, I got stuff to do, Fandoms to gush over (Magia Record came out and so did the Invader Zim movie), comics to draw, and I AM HYPED!!!
The images above are some tests using Krita and my new laptop.
A quick sketch of me, an image of Mami (probably from a manga i just looked up lineart for color practice) before and after I colored it, aaaaaand a scan of some doodles of my version of the Cheshire Cat and what progress I made coloring it
Illy Lives!
Hey guys! I know I haven't been around much lately what with school and being away from my tablet... but that doesn't mean I haven't been drawing!
I don't know if I've said this before, but one of my ultimate goals in life is to become a writer and artist for my own series of comics. While I have all the pieces to make the comic, I just haven't found a way to make it into a coherent story line. The whole thing is a bunch of story arcs that connect and intertwine with one another. There really isn't a true main character. Everyone has their own story to tell.
In a way I guess that's how I've always wanted it to be. Because even though most of the things are fantastical, I still wanted it to be grounded to a personal reality that's very important to me.
The fact that everyone is imperfect.
Everyone has problems. I know I do, and if you really think about yourself, I'm sure you'll find that you too have at least one. It's a scary thing to think about, and yet I dwell on it all the time.
Perfection is an illusion, and I wanted to make sure that no one in my stories are perfect.
I suppose a good example of this is my version of Life and Death.
Life is, as in many depictions, light and bubbly with a very carefree feel to her. She loves the humans and the souls she bestows upon us at birth. However, she finds herself becoming depressed by how many perceive her to be fragile and defenseless. Eventually, she manages to prove herself to others by protecting those she holds dear with her own abilities, showing that like her siblings, she too is a force to be reckoned with.
Death, unlike his depictions of being the ultimate emo girls dream, is a kind-hearted, equally bubbly and carefree person, who arguably loves the humans more than his sister. However, this love proves to be his setback, as the years of collecting the souls of the dead take its toll on his mental stability. He has to have these memories suppressed in order to even resemble the person he used to be. But, with help from the people who love him, he may one day be able to cope with those memories without the need for them to be suppressed.
No one is perfect. Everyone has problems. But we can learn to cope and live along side these problems. We can learn to forgive the mistakes of our past and move forward towards a happier future.
That's what my series is all about.
And I'm happy to announce that I have found a starting point and have begun working on my comic series!
I'm not very good with titles, but this arc is going to be called "The Eldrich Journal".
I hope you're as excited as I am.
Here are some character notes for this Arc.
Meet Psychoe! That one character with a not-so-creative name (before I ever really started trying...) This sweet boy has gone through a lot of development
At first he was part of an old story I've long since scrapped, in which he could endure any form of injury and not be aware of any pain (or most anything in general). Later on he would have another character (kinda like another version of himself) that was overly aware and could feel pain (named Insani). Eventually I changed a few things and separated them, making them twins, which is how they've stayed since then. Their backstory has also gone through changes but that's for another time.
Found a sketchbook i was looking for (i was looking for a page that had something to do with these golems called wolos based off a stupidly funny thing i once hear)
This was in there too!
Partway through making this, recall realizing i should've moved Samule to the left corner because i ran out of room
Meet Nova, the unkillable being that wants to die, and one of my many characters.
I sketched this like a few days ago and just today decided to color it like half an hour ago, something like that
I think this is going to be the first of many introductions to my original works
So, here’s the deal. If you find this character interesting, then I want you to send me an ask about him, anything you want to know more about, and I’ll answer
So ever since I did those images for my little Pandora’s Box series, I’ve been wanting to scan in more art that I’ve done on paper, color them, and post them
However.... A few images in, my printer, thus my scanner, lost connection, so I decided to work with what I managed to get in
Needless to say, I’ve barely made an progress, and now my neck hurts from having to hold my head at an angle
So I feel I might as well show what I’m working on....
Look forward to a BUNCH of original content from me in the near future
I swear, these two share a room, sleep in the same bed, cuddle in said bed, have meaningful discussions, and even emotional declarations But are they dating??? Who knows? I don't know? Maybe they are? Are they? I think so? Do you think so?
