Doc Ock Sketches #9 - Pattern ideas Pt 2

Solar Demigod Doc Ock gallery

The iteration continues! I still want to do more full-body sketches, maybe combining two pattern here, or trying to get back to the "OG", much simpler motifs, I have no idea yet, I will figure it out.

Also, please note none of these ideas here are "possible final power stage" ones. I'm just trying to come up with a general "tapestry style", and once I have that, I can start brainstorming on the progression / evolution of it, based on how far Otto is on the power scale.

Pattern ideas Part 1

Doc Ock Sketches #8 - Pattern ideas Pt 1

Solar Demigod Doc Ock gallery

Being a Sunbearer meant you were pretty much a walking neon warning sign that steadily got more and more obvious the more an opponent messed with it. Stealthy takedowns are almost completely out of the picture, but on the plus side somehow enemies would often entirely underestimate just how much of a sudden power spike Otto could produce as he steadily reached higher and higher stages.

Of course the biggest trick in a fight was to survive long enough to actually be able to use some of this awesome Sun-given power...

It was fair to say Otto did not ask for any of this, but it wasn't like he could just walk away from being a Sunbearer at this point. Luckily for him, he was still very much a quick learner, especially when his life was on the line. Who would have guessed. So after learning to weave semi-physical objects from light, the next lesson became crystal clear once a lucky punch got past his actuators and landed square in his face - Have something short ranged to defend himself with during a scuffle. A nice lower-arm-length dagger of blazing heat might deter a few of these rabid idiots... Otto hoped at least.

Part of him knew he really should not have been surprised by the weird things his body could produce (entirely painlessly, by the way) now with Sol's blessing. Yet Otto couldn't help but gawk at every detail he could observe on himself. Quite the bad habit to have in the middle of a fight.

It was... a bit relieving to sculpt something out of light that wasn't a weapon for a change. And flowers reminded Otto of simpler... and happier days.

Potionomics - Storm Lord Boss Finn

In ages past, storm lords were the strongest guardians of the merfolk, especially in their struggle for survival against the land dwelling species. In these peaceful times, when all races live side by side, storm lords are all but legends.

Yet their sacred duty remains. Quell the storms. Protect the weak.

----

"One who sows wind, reaps a storm." is probably my favorite Hungarian saying. It is quite a profound warning against looking for and sowing discord for whatever reason.

.... Isn't that right, Triple-A gaming industry? You loathsome hacks.

For the first time ever, I have tried to emulate Alfons Mucha's famous Art Nouveau paintings, and you'll be the judge, how it worked out! For a first timer, I'm actually very happy with the result. I may not try it often, but I can see myself revisiting it from time to time.

Yes, this is a celebratory image over finishing Potionomics once again, now with Boss Finn added to the gang. I will be honest here, I was very very worried how they would portray Boss Finn. Afterall he is a very confrontational, very confident, very masculine character and we all know how much modern media just revels in open misandry. But once again, Voracious Games have proved me wrong and I could not be happier for it. For they took Finn and not only give him a great character arc while also leaving his core intact, but also he ends up in a very positive and protective role while staying masculine.

A true rarity these days.

Thank you, Voracious Games! There is still hope for the art of story telling in this day and age, you have proven it!

Doc Ock Sketches #7 - Flare

Solar Demigod Doc Ock gallery

Otto's power (ironically) has a snowballing effect: he has multiple power stages which he can reach over time during conflict, ranging from being basically useless to being a lesser solar deity running amuck. Strong, generally negative emotions such as anger can cause him to switch between stages too fast, leading to debilitating sharp headache, nose bleed, dizziness, and other spells of weakness that force Doc to let go of the power entirely and sink back to the starting stage, or risk causing lasting damage to himself. At least the resulting facial patterns could be a good enough warning sign for an opponent to back off before things get ugly.

On the other side, there is the Flare, an "unofficial" power stage which is a nigh-uncontrollable outburst of raw power, usually homicidal intentions and just about zero fair warnings. Technically, Otto could switch into Flare from any of the other power stages, should he lose control over himself. Flare is a brief but devastating rampage that is excellent for clearing all opposition (and the surroundings), however it burns up every reservoir of strength Otto may have, and could very easily injure his body in the process.

Warning for Romanian protesters!

A friend of mine asked me to spread this message about potential dangers during protests. These might be fake news, they might be real, but all who are affected, please be aware!

I'm not Romanian, I do not speak Romanian, I do not take sides in this political upheaval in Romania. But as a Hungarian neighbor, and as someone who has a friend there, I wish to help spread the warning and hope this conflict over the Romanian elections can settle peacefully in the end.

Stay safe!

Potionomics - Guess Who's Back (Back Again)

Miracles do exist, people!

So let me take you back to 2023 when a new indie game came out called Potionomics. One of the few actually good games coming out these past two years, to be frank. (But the Purging Fire is finally burning across the industry. Good.)

Either way, that game has quite the great cast of characters, written by people who actually know what they are doing. While I do dislike or am indifferent to some of them, that comes from simply their actual personalities, not because they are badly written characters. I would feel the same about such people in real life.

But by far the very best bloke had to be one of the bosses (and the first one in the line who actually whooped my ass the first time around) - and that was Boss Finn, the literal business shark, here to kick your ass with unbelievable swagger and an unmatchable theme song.

He was also the first boss who did NOT became part of your friend's group after beating him. Which was heartbreaking, and just plain... weird. Like, why not? We've got all the weirdos in the cast and you leave the uber confident business guy out? Blasphemy, I tell you!

Well. Fast forward to 2024 October 20th and the developers had finally seen the error of their ways. They put out a DLC that actually makes Boss Finn a part of your crew once you get past him! I discovered this roughly after two weeks of its release and let me tell you, I have never EVER bought a DLC faster in my life.

So now I am replaying Potionomics and while I'm still some time away from Boss Finn, I already have some high hopes for him.

Please don't screw him up, devs! He is genuinely amazing!

(Genuinely the only thing I don't like about his design - and you can already see the change in this pic - is that unlike other fish men designs, his shark tail actually grows out of the middle of his back, not his hip. And he can move that bastard separately, meaning he has a branching spinal cord. I don't know, that just freaks me out XD)

LoL - Brackern BroTP

More League of Legends stuff (and brackern headcanons)

Fear not, young hopefuls! At worst you'll need to wait 800 years for another chance at earning the lady's heart. Until then, enjoy the blooming BroTP! That's what makes a clan strong. <3

The first two panel's dialogue is based on a comment I got on DeviantArt under the "two genders" entry, which was so damn cute I couldn't help but actually draw it. Thanks for the inspiration, my guy!

The Two Genders

2024.11.09

[kenyizsuartblog]

LoL Brackern headcanons #2 - The two genders

More League of Legends stuff (and brackern headcanons)

Brackern form clans called “kraa” in the Underwell, which are made up from children of the clan’s broodmother(s) and formerly wandering strangers who join their ranks. Sizes can range from a dozen to over fifty, although large clans eventually fracture into smaller ones for one reason or another.  Clan color and patterns are based on the environment and the food sources (springs and rivers of raw magic) the clan has under its rule. Territories are massive, so even neighboring clans usually look vastly different to each other. Should a clan migrate to a different territory, their markings would change over time as well.

Due to the high mortality rate of bracklings, the survival of the species is ensured by both genders being capable of reproducing their entire adult lives. While broodmothers bring up a single clutch at a time until their second molt (around 800 surface-world years), normal females simply give birth to their brood, abandon them in the wilds and are ready to conceive again within six months (finding the next mate may take longer, however). Brackern are not monogamous, but a broodmother may choose to have multiple clutches from a single male. Since their offsprings have the highest chances of survival, adult males in the clan sometimes get caught in stubborn contests of strength to earn the broodmother's good graces. But because bonds within a clan are strong, these competitions only result in hurt pride but never in physical injury. Outsider wandering males and those would-be-members still under the process of being tested by the clan cannot mate with the broodmother.

LoL - Qiyana is actually really fun to draw

More League of Legends stuff (and brackern headcanons)

It's Qiyana time, babyyyyy!

The self-proclaimed Empress of Elements is quite interesting to me. On one hand, her VA, Montse Hernandez does an excellent job at selling just how whiny, entitled and insufferable she is, and even though she is incredibly skilled and dangerous, she absolutely fails to make a strong impression worthy of an empress. On the other hand, her "color story", Fit to Rule shows rather disturbing sociopathic decision making from her. But putting the two together, I have this headcanon that she isn't nearly as cruel and tough as she no doubt believes herself to be, and the moment crap goes really down, she might just crumble completely. "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face", that kind of deal. Yes, I know she crippled her eldest sister for life, that's disturbing but that maybe she simply doesn't have what it takes to actually finish the job.

Entirely my headcanon, though. She might be an absolutely irredeemable little monster in the official lore.

But...this is one headcanon I'm putting to the test in the WIP LoL fanfic.

(Man, I would pay to see her have an epic shouting match at Skarner... although if Skarner returns fire, she is absolutely dead, just from the volume. But just her screaming at the kaiju scorpion who is just annoyed by her would be so incredibly funny.)

Next time maybe I will come out with a sketchdump showing some of those plans.

LoL - Skarner kinda breaks my wrist but I love him

I'm steadily putting together a multi-chapter fanfiction featuring Skarner and Qiyana as the leads, and on the side, I'm trying to actually learn to draw Skarner. With the help of the wonderful 3D in-game model viewer called Khada, my third eye has opened!

So I challenged myself with some poses, as you can see. Skarner's animations were definitely NOT what I have originally imagined, he is surprisingly "nimble" seeing what he actually is. Hell, I wasn't even aware that he lifted his body up so high from the ground, I thought he was a pancake, genuinely. After that revelation, I had an easier time picturing him temporarily rear up on his hind legs. Jesus, can you imagine the shockwave him slamming down would cause?

I have tried to make the poses readable with shadows, I really sure hope I succeeded ^^; He's not the easiest form to draw or decode, certainly. I'm not sure when the fanfic itself will come out, but I would like to finish the whole thing's first draft by 20th of October! Root for me, guys!

"The Sun Disk was off the ground. The Sun Disk was off the gods-forsaken ground! Nasus dropped his bundled war axe and stared. He rubbed his eyes and stared again. He muttered a quick incantation that helped chase away illusions and mirages. He shook his head madly. The Sun Disk and the city stubbornly stayed put on the horizon."

Chapter 2 of the two-shot about the rocky start of Shurima's return. Enjoy! :D
