Favorite AROIIS characters 1/12 : Isabeth

I usually headcanon Isabeth as dark haired but I liked the grace that emanates from the woman in the picture I picked

(Hi again, @icerosesummerbracket. I apparently can't stop making those. Please tell me if you'd rather I don't tag you every time so I don't clog your blog)

I made a uquiz for what kind of magic would come naturally to you in the aRoIiS universe!

I remember taking a LOT of these back in the day, so I thought I'd make one of my own, now that it's having it's renaissance thanks to @icerosesummerbracket

Here's the link~

[OOC: okay, so basically what I was trying to do here was introduce a basic concept for a magic system via uquiz. My idea was that similar to the four phlegm based temperaments, in this universe everyone could have element based temperaments. Anyone can practice any type of magic, but based on your temperament(s), some come more naturally, and some are so hard, they're simply not worth the effort. I also had the revolutionary idea, that doing magic (brace yourselves) could actually be Quite Hard and Exhausting, so the closer the nature of the magic is to your innate temperament, the easier time you'll have with it. If anyone has any other ideas for this, PLEASE tell me. The names for the different subtypes of magic could also use some work. My spelling probably sucks, so excuse that please. Aaaand the share image I used was made by @ceaselessbeholder. Hope you have fun with the quiz!]

Im still on a bit of an Undertale kick, so I drew our resident plant lover (Lux) with the plant (Flowey)

Enjoy!

Guess who lost control and made a playlist for Etienne and Currant and a cover for the @icerosesummerbracket 🙃 Consider it Currant propaganda, since Etienne is already in (please get my boy in 🙏)

As a disclaimer, it's been years since I read the books, so this might be wildly inaccurate in places, idk, but I think I got the general vibes down! I feel like it ended up leaning more towards Etienne than Currant, haha, but it's still focused on their dynamic rather than just Etienne's personality or relationship with other chraracters. So I hope I managed to capture that!

I also really wanted to add Yin Yang from the Persona 4 anime but it's not in spotify so just imagine it's there :c

Opal!!! Probably my all time favorite character from aroiis. When I was younger it meant EVERYTHING to have someone like me in my favorite media <33. Before I saw the official designs for all of the characters, I had an incredibly vivid image of how I pictured Opal and this was what I remembered from then! I always imagined them looking a lot like me as a person who struggled with my weight and body hair but of course I also went with what the book described (dark skin, long curly hair, covered eye, etc)

(I also had a lot of headcanons and theories about their eyes when i was younger so i drew them) (also I love shapershifters)

@icerosesummerbracket go follow them!! Literally SO MANY old memories lol

[cutestbitches]

Can we submit an AROIIS character (AROIIS is not a real series, it's like Goncharov)

Sure, why not.

Never Apologize For Art(TM)

@icerosesummerbracket Sorry for flooding your mentions but!! I come bearing more fanart! This time my personal design for Radiance. (I too HC her as having moth wings, I just didn't draw them bc there was a lot going on in the drawing already)

I wanted to make her look angelic, to really lean into the "light is ominous" thing

[fadedfromtheportraits]

I've been searching for it all day, but I've finally found one of the fanarts I've made of Isabeth back in the day!!! Her dubious ethics, bleach fried hair, and awful fashion sense had 7th grade me in a chokehold < 3

Also, I totally forgat that her being a ginger is not canon lmao, but I always imagined her that way, so freckled, pale, pasty Isabeth is what you get

[Out of character: I am not an artist by any means, but I really REALLY wanted to draw Isabeth from @icerosesummerbracket, so here you go, sorry if the photo quality is shitty]

Hello I see you are making aroiis moodboards

Would it be okay if I sent in a request for one

Hell yeah it would! Requests are super welcome ^^ (ooc: especially if you have suggestions for less defined characters, because I do wanna do one for everyone in the bracket, but they don’t all have a lot of stuff to draw aesthetics from, yknow?)

[fadedfromtheportraits]

I absolutely love this!!! [Also, sorry for anyone who didn't sign up for me spending every waking minute gushing about this series, but this is pretty much gonna be my entire personality for the forseeable future]

Isabeth screamed, and it wasn’t a sound at all, clawing at the air and catching nothing in her grasp. She twisted and writhed in the air, hysterical mind turning to the animal instinct to catch herself in the wind as she plummeted from the sky, wax wings melting off, her reflection a blur on the icy lake. It was nothing but a brilliant smear of golden light that still wasn’t hot enough to burn, just glow falsely in the beaming sunlight, like a pathetic candle in front of a burning building. It was the light equivalent of roadkill- it was like somebody had created a squirrel full of glitter and gold, and then ran it over repeatedly with their car. It was the pathetic, weak glow of the nightlight- significant and proud in the nighttime, but revealed of its weakness the very instant the sun crests the horizon and reveals the tiny lightbulb to be the pathetic waste it is. It wasn’t anything to be remarked upon, and the sun would barely notice touching it with its unfailable, perfect light.

         But then, like a lightswitch, the world went dark, and for a split second Isabeth was hit by the terrifying reality, the lonely last words of Icarus, the fear of the cord yanked from the wall, the candle at the end of its wick, the certain knowledge that the sun ever cared about this whining beast’s fate. Isabeth twisted herself up at the sky one last time, desperate to see even the glimmer of a star, but they twinkled at her mockingly, seeming to giggle in tinkering voices at her flailing limbs and desperate-scream-that-wasn’t-a-scream. And then they turned away from her once again, turning their attention back to the light that matters.

         And then Isabeth crashed through the reflective surface of the frozen lake, sinking below the icy waters to drown, shattering her spine and causing her melting wings to freeze and break with a sickening crack, and nobody even said a word.

SPOILERS FOR UP TO AROIIS BOOK 3

My headcanon design for Lily after their post-Radiance kidnap recovery arc! :) I tried to focus on practicality, so the upper cloak, armorwear, and belts are magneted to stay together; I don't remember whether it was necessarily Lily who used magnets on their outer clothing or not, but I remember someone did, so I call fair game, fjksjsjd. I also tried to focus a bit on the dissociation and intensification of the red + yellow from their light orange after their arc for the symbolism

Tempted to try and draw all the aroiis characters, major and minor, in this style. May be biting off more than I can chew

[out of character] well played, now I have to accept the ask where it mentions Lily loses an arm /j (I probably was gonna say yes to that ask eventually, it's just this incentivized me to accept it faster)

(and also of course good art <3 I always love seeing art)
