Back!!!

Have some cover art I made for my au playlist/s for myself

This one is just inspired by this from that on post on cannoneer but too lazy to find it so here is a wiki screenshot.

So yeah just something cute

This one Gives lofi beats to relax and study to vibes (except it's horror) XD

Also have some alt versions of these below

Simple colors on characters

The black and white traditional lineart

Really been enjoying doing my linart traditionally then coloring digitally lately as you can see. Just feels nice because lineart wise I feel the most comfortable traditionally while digital I feel like I suffer because I feel I don't have as much control . Coloring these digitally is nice though because I can pull off some effects I couldn't, can color fast, and there is the plus of not ruining the original lineart somehow. Anyway just some thoughts on the art process

[plutonium-sky]

Hi!! Abyss crew love time. I just spotted something GREAT, and now own a new hc. Anyways.

Look! At! This!!!! They all have a Gem (yeah I know it's probably darkstone but still. I'm calling them gems)!!! Of course, this can be interpreted in a few ways, but as the person I am I can only see it in one way: acknowledgement that you're part of the crew- part of the family. They deserve that!!!

Anyways. Since Boatswain has the most gems, I think that they're the ones who make them. That headcannon kinda fell down to "they are longtime friends with Commodore, who trusts their judgement with distribution of the gems and safekeeping of loot" because why not!! And! They could also be the first mate of the crew! Among other things!!!

And of fucking course this means I'm finding a nice spot for my own skykid to wear a gem lmao. (I say, as I modify how her wristband looks like)

[skycotl-before-and-after]

So, I always called this the shipwreck. Of course, there are many smaller shipwrecks in various realms, but this is what comes to my mind when you say shipwreck. I think everyone I know in the game called it the shipwreck.

I guessed this was what they were referring to when they said “crab fields”, but never knew it was officially called this. Or maybe they just now officially named it?

[pain-del-doge]

[abyssforphantoms]

Two years, and this group of spirits still live rent-free in my mind.

[kid-of-chaos]

Sky Spirit Headcanons - 1

⚓ Season of Abyss 🌊

Technically speaking, these guys are the reason why the story progressed. They unknowingly crossed paths with "Paddle", Kimako and Ingo, where, how and when I'll edit it in later, but these guys deserve the first cameo in the story.

Group-related Headcanons

Names and Titles in order from Oldest to Youngest: Ceasing Commodore Sebastian (Seth) Aranami, Anxious Angler Spiro (Formerly Angel), Cackling Cannoneer Catherine (Carie), Bumbling Boatswain Ishmael (Isiah) Jagedo, Abyss Walker Hailstorm (Hail) Aranami

All of them live on the Fujiah, which Seth... TOTALLY bought and did NOT steal at all from Privateers (which is basically the beta ship they had but a wee bit bigger)

They are both experienced pirates who have no qualms about taking a life and absolute children who share a total of 6 brain-cells that gush over a sleeping crab

They all get together to sing sea shanties every week or when they’re sailing for fun

They also spar with each other to make sure that no one falls behind them in combat (Seth oversees this, but Carie can take over for him when he’s out)

They don’t really obey the law, only abide it if it suits their interests

Spiro and Carie are lovers, you may now applaud

Other than Lumin (Torian Language), they all speak Eikula (The Hybrid Language Luxi and Noxi used after the Dual Disaster)

Character-specific Headcanons

The Eldest Member, being 63 years old

Is either referred to by Captain, Seth, both or just Commodore

Served in the Navy in his past life, so his sea experience stuck with him

The father of Hail via adoption, though you’d be wise not to bring that part up around him…

Took in the others as his crewmates and found family

Is also fluent in: Japanese

Favorite Sea Shanty: The Last Shanty

The undisputed Arm Wrestling Champion in the Depth Walkers

As a matter of fact, is the strongest one in the crew in terms of raw strength, with Spiro following behind

Has a heart of gold, even if it doesn’t look like it

Very good at braiding hair

Likes to stroke his beard when he feels mischievous

Likes spicy food a lot more than the rest of the crew

Has the most treasures out of the crew, Carie is close behind him

Takes over for/ accompanies Hail in Guide Meetings

Mastered Earth Magic, but uses it carefully

He has his sword back, cry about it TCG

Said sword is called the Shardbreaker after he somehow managed to shatter a Red Shard with it

Don’t let his age fool you, he is DURABLE-

Special Attack: Quake. One slam of the Shardbreaker and at full power, it can cause rocks to spring out of the ground. It’s even been known to injure Krill if timed right.!

Second youngest, being 19 years old

Which makes no sense, considering he’s the first mate AND the Boatswain

Oddly Carie’s height

Favorite Sea Shanty: Leave her, Johnny

Is given many embarrassing names like “Fumble-it Fred”, “Builder Boy”, and “Hammer Head”, just to name a few

Is also fluent in: German

Gained a perfectionist mindset due to being constantly made fun of…

… which makes him angry…

… and because of that, he messes up a lot, creating a painful cycle

Sympathizes with “Paddle” oddly

Has a bag of food, maps and notes in his room

When asked why, he always answers, “Just in case things go south”. No one knows what he means by this statement.

Gets into fights with Spiro and Carie the most. It’s always Seth who stops him from doing bird-knows-what

Always is the main subject to Caries’s “games”

Until Paddle came along, but even then…

Despite everyone fearing Paddle, he finds him cool

His music sheet is based on a treasure chest music box he made when he was 9

He can play the violin very well!

No one really knows his past, but he snuck into Seth’s boat at 7

… which he seems to be really good at, sneaking around, I mean

His beard is fake if you didn’t figure it out already

He also has a wig but he stopped wearing it when it got itchy

He’s not bald or anything, but his hair gets nappy from the seawater

His Hammer and jacket seem a little too big for him…

Also, he has a weird knife that he hides from the crew..

Wields Psychic magic and something else the crew can’t explain yet, but surprisingly is good at Karate. Like.. scarily good.

He does telekinetically use his hammer as a weapon. It’s surprisingly effective.!

Special Attack: Discord. Can disrupt Synchrony and even disable Magic use from a blast of Psychic energy.

Second oldest at 27 years old

Tried to pass on as a girl, then went on to be Genderfluid before being comfortable with his masculinity and settling on being a Demiboy

The reason why is due to his very… concerning past

Joined at the age of 15, half a year after Isiah was taken in

Favorite Sea Shanty: Wellerman

Is also fluent in: Finnish

Has the ability of Truthsight, which allows to see a beings nature (like, their intent)

Is surprisingly a really good cook!

The name Angel was given to him by Seth, though a while after Paddle vanished for some reason, he changed it to Spiro

The reason why is because he wanted to be a breath of fresh air for the others, so that they can all grow from their pasts together

HATES horror movies due to how easily it makes him jump

Had a tendency to overthink things, thus creating their uneasy appearance

Although this, and many other things, has been resolved, he still can get easily anxious

Favorite fish to catch and cook: Whitewater Cod, especially in a stew!

Has an uncommon ability where he’s able to go “Primal” due to a long period of uncontrollable hostility and forced pacifism

They learned to use it for the better, and considers himself the bear of the crew as a half-joke

The reason why it’s a half-joke is that they do tend to act like a bear at times

Can be a very passionate singer if given the chance

Hid the fact he could use Holy Magic until a certain point

Very skilled combatant, but the Seth didn’t teach him anything…

More of a hand-to-hand fighter, but can create a Kanabou when needed

Special Attack: Prayer. Can summon pillars of light from the ground. More than 5 will require him to recite a prayer, hence the name.

The youngest (excluding Paddle), being 15 years old

The most moral of the group oddly

She’s a Half-Braken! Her lower limbs, head and tail were caused by the blood moon

Was taken in by Seth when she was 4, a year after Carie joined

Likes getting head scratches

Is also fluent in: Korean, Tenebrin

Is the quickest member on board

Was extremely unstable when younger, Oak (Assembly Guide) had to help her in keeping her urges in check

Stabilized at 13, but that was because of a Stabilization Potion the crew luckily got their hands on

Like all Halflings, she can regain some light from contact with other beings of light

She still consumes light despite this

Sleeps in Seth’s room, she has a little corner for herself complete with a beanbag chair

Is solely a Hand-to-Hand fighter until they find a suitable weapon for her

Favorite Sea Shanty: Santiana

Eats more than the others due to her Braken side

Thumps her tail on the ground when she’s tense

Can’t go a month not consuming light without starting to get aggressive

Isn’t the only darkened being on the ship, but she doesn’t tell anyone about this

Is hesitant to growl, but not to purr

In charge of the Medical Bay, and also gives out commands when given the okay

Will always chuckle when someone mentions Davy Jones Locker

Has horns, but you can rarely see them due to her hair

Learned Storm and Water Magic, mostly since Dark Magic didn’t interest her

Special Attack: Storm Claw. You can pretty much guess what this attack is.

The Middle Child, being 25 years old

Got her laugh from Seth

Star-Marked! Bears the Mark of the Moonlit Hunter, colored purple

Said Star Mark is Tier 3, the highest tier obtainable

Hates it when people say she got her skills from luck and her Star Mark SO DAMN MUCH-

Often keeps notebooks, either for learning purposes or for fun

Is also fluent in: Spanish, Tenebrin

Favorite Sea Shanty: Drunken Sailor

Do not bring up the Dark Leviathan to her, she STILL has the nightmares from that

She was already a skilled shooter before joining the crew, to everyone’s (Isaiah’s) surprise

Mask got cracked from a stray shot, took her right eye a WHILE to recover

Her harpoon gun is only for beasts, she has a custom make gun for bandits and other people

Which can recharge from her Aura alone! Pretty cool, huh?!

Cares about the others, but used to have no idea how to express that.. she’s a lot better, don’t worry

Joined a month after Spiro at 13 years old from a dare

Has thalassophobia, but is more afraid of the things that dwell below

Is a lot more smarter and kind than she lets on

Her room, despite what she says, is very tidy

Has a ton of embarrassing moments she tries to cover up with tall tales… unfortunately the crew always point out her blunders

Likes shiny things since reminds her of her past

Speaking of, it’s rumored she has a brother, but she refuses to say anything about it

Can do a convincing Scottish accent, but most of the time, finds herself going off in Spanish instead

Earned the Flame’s trust and became a Flame-Wielder, primarily a Fire Mage (Which works in her favor since she has Fire Magic)

Special Move: Berserker. Greatly boosts her power, but is a lot easier to make her angry

ABYSS CREW REFS FOR AU AND THE UPDATED DOPPELNEER REF ARE FINALLY DONE AAAAAAAAAAAAA

And a Speech Bubble ref

So why did these take so long?

I have some additional notes I'm still working on and I realized that I'm past tumblr post's image limit if I were to include them, so going to divide it up into multiple posts.

I got sidetracked into figuring out how to make my own personal fonts for notes, comics, and whatever else I may make on ibis paint x.^^" (I would share the fonts for free to use completely... but way I have it set up currently... The fonts had to be divided into two parts for each because the website I made the fonts on had a character limit. So until I figure out a way to combine them no... but for now it works for my personal needs.)

Heights Refs and Reener's ref are below

Abyss Crew Heights

Abyss Crew Heights (Including Reen)

I consider Reen to be taller because the horns are a part of them, and can't be removed by simple means.

Reener ref

If you are wondering why Reener's ref off on it's lonesome, in vague terms regarding story, I'm still trying to figure out weather or not I want to include different route timelines and endings? If you don't know what I'm talking about here is a post that briefly sums up the Reener's route although some details may have changed. ^^

[plutonium-sky]

Sooooooooo I went overboard with drawing my favoritest spirit EVER on my magma but it's alright he deserves it cause I love him so much.

Bonus bad comic under cut

From then on they only did the confetti cannon on birthdays for everyone but Anxious Angler

[skycotl-before-and-after]

I was a bit confused today with the Anxious Angler’s task. Last time it was in Treasure Reef, that ancestor’s home area, so I expected it to be there again. Instead, it’s at the dock leading to Forgotten Ark. I wasn’t the only one snooping around Treasure Reef looking for the Angler early this morning.

It’s listed differently in live and beta. In live, you might not know where it is, but “catch a fish” in beta seems even more vague. Thank goodness for that little blue star that appears when you call.

Bonus: A mole has apparently dug a tunnel in Hidden Forest near a lamppost. You have to get the angle just right to see it.

[angrybatart]

Just own up to it, already. Nobody's THAT mad at you... if you'd own up to it...

[pain-del-doge]

The final Passage quest pissed me off and triggered some painful memories to resurface, have this ;w;

[fisherman-fight]

ROUND ONE

ANXIOUS ANGLER from SKY: CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT vs THE WELLERMAN from THAT WHALING BALLAD

HERE'S WHAT THE SUBMITTERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS:

ANXIOUS ANGLER - "Part of a pirate crew!! Know how to hide from dangerous sea creatures!! Anxious but they don't let it stop them from fishing!! Hat!!"

THE WELLERMAN - okay. actually? pollrunner here. this was submitted to me as "the weatherman from that sea shanty tiktok" and i thought it was funny but. i'm also a big nerd about nautical history and the age of sail so. i feel compelled to use my platform here to inform you that despite their inclusion in this poll, the titular wellermen from the song were not necessarily fishermen. whalers definitely count as fisherman for the purposes of this tournament, but "wellerman" was just slang for "guy who worked for the weller brothers". the weller brothers owned a lot of supply ships and sold provisions to whalers ("soon may the wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum"). they weren't whalers themselves. okay that's the end of my infodump. shoutout to the longest johns, stream between wind and water (the album their recording of wellerman is on)

nobody bully the person who submitted "the weatherman". they shouldn't be made to feel ashamed for not knowing something, especially something that can't really be considered common knowledge.
