#art of empyrisan

[empyrisan]

2024 / 4 / 19 A few snapshots of dragon sketches in ballpoint and fineliner pens. I often drag my feet on designing my actual dragon characters and opt for doing headshots of random dragons instead. But this keeps me actively drawing, at the very least. I do love the nose horns on the big fella though, so I'm gonna be exploring that design element further in a character of mine.

18. Do you have any larger projects you’d like to pursue? Like comics, shortfilm, a series etc?

oh god, too many to count, going back to high school, maybe middle school.

i actually just rediscovered my old pitch bible for Erica the other day! it was a short comic thing about a girl who's the only human-passing robot in the world and how after 20 years that's not really interesting anymore so she mostly just has a normal life. here's the only piece of art from it that i actually still like, haha

the other big one i have in my head right now is one that i've deliberately tried not to share any information about, or even develop too much and it's hard to explain exactly why. it's sort of at this stage where it's this enormous pile of loose ideas and over the years the parts of it that are important to me have started to come into focus, but I don't want to try and lock it down until i actually start developing it into something more useful, if that makes sense. just for this ask though i drew some concepts for the three main characters, at least how i see them now:

Since I saw @empyrisan’s ruby oc Pigeon Blood Ruby, I wanted to make my own. Meet Rubellite!

Rubellite was once a assisting commander alongside a Hessonite during the gem war. Created and placed above all rubies, including the Pigeon Blood Ruby, Rubellite was in charge of leading the Nephrites and other gems opposing the Crystal Gems to glory. When Pink Diamond faked her shattering, Rubellite was devastated. Knowing this, she became corrupted and later trapped in the steel bars inside Jasper’s kindergarten. Steven, age 32, having come back from his journey of human self-discovery, found Rubellite while taking a look at the kindergartens after 16 years and brought her to little homeworld, healing her and the cracked gem he had found her with. Steven saw Rubellite’s leadership and fighting skills and made her an honorary Crystal Gem. Rubellite now lives in little homeworld.

The Exiles is a joint project between myself and my partner, Empyrisan, featuring a cast of original characters in a distant part of the SU Universe. I will be posting some stand-alone stories from it now and then! The characters are all original ones set in another part of universe from the show. For the character line-up with lovely art by Empyrisan, please check it out the link! 

Sapphire was created to be a special Gem, a gift from one Diamond to another. Her place in Gem society, her role, her fate - all these things were determined before she existed. Except no one could have predicted that a rogue Quartz would start a rebellion and shatter her Diamond. A mix of debilitating anxiety and depression, paired with unexpectedly weak ability in Foresight, has made her worthless to the society that made her. However, a place where she can serve some practical use has been found - out of sight and out of mind.

The Court has not forgotten the disgraceful display made by the Sapphire who ran away with her Ruby Guard and, thus, Blue Diamond does not look kindly upon a handful of Rubies who forgot their place. For their indiscreet courtship of a court Seer, the Diamond finds a solution that is both practical and poetically cruel: If they want a Sapphire to guard, then they are condemned to have one that no one wants in a place where no one wants to go. There they can all dwell on their inadequacies, their disgrace, and what they lost by wanting what wasn’t theirs to have until they turn to dust.

On a world at the very edge of the Diamond Authority’s conquered borders, in a sector where nothing of interest ever happens, placing security would be a waste of technology, resources, and useful Gems. But a Seer of even moderate abilities could be trusted to monitor the region and send an alert if anything problematic or opportunistic does occur. That’s what is said, even though a Gem wouldn’t need to be a Sapphire to know the odds of that happening were poor. It was an exile, regardless of what other words were used to describe it. A convenient place to put unwanted Gems where they can serve what little purpose they’re able to.

Pink Diamond is based off of a makeup test I did for my Pink cosplay debuting in March, if you’d like to see my progress you can visit my Instagram and throw some “likes” my way!

2024 / 10 / 11 Some progress shots of a dragon I've been working at on-and-off since last year. The shading is all done, but it feels really flat to me. Maybe the linework needs more depth, especially around the mane... I hesitate to call him finished just yet, but I really like love how all of his fur turned out. Sometimes you got just gotta take close-up shots of your work to better appreciate them more.

So hey, have any of you ever thought about commissioning @empyrisan?

Because if you have, YOU TOTALLY SHOULD

As you can see from that last photo set, I’ve commissioned them multiple times and I’ve got nothing but praise for their service! Their prices are really reasonable, they’re very communicative and on top of all that, they have a quick turnaround time! 

Not to mention how amazing their art is to begin with oh my gosh 

Empy is a really great person to work with and if you’re considering getting a piece from them, I highly recommend that you do! You won’t be disappointed, you’ll be amazed!

[emmy-the-dragoness]

So my original plan was to upload what I personally thought Eyeball would look as a reformed honorary Crystal Gem, BUT..... the moment when I saw the wonderful @empyrisan‘s take on the design based around her ERA (or as she refers to it as “Eyeball Redemption Arc”) AU, I instantly fell in love and decided to whip this up in GIMP as a special gift for the AMAZING fanart she makes. 

And BTW, for those who haven’t followed this beautiful lady yet, then PLEASE by all means... 

D O    I  T 

Even if you don’t have a Tumblr, then I highly suggest giving her a follow. Her SU art has to be one of the most, in my opinion, the most breathtaking, detailed and inspirational out there and this art piece of mine here is an excellent example of one of them! 

And here’s my first attempt at a speedpaint video:

On The Lightning Trail: A Tale of Fool's Gold and Glass Gems

                                   by  GwenhwyvarReads

Stranded alone in the wilderness, Ruby and Sapphire, a sheriff and the criminal they’d intended to catch, must try to maintain an uneasy truce until they can reach civilization again. Ever-optimistic, with a firm belief in humanity and justice, Ruby tends to grate on (and bewilder) the extremely jaded murderer, Sapphire. Sparks fly when two such opposing forces collide, but maybe they can learn from each other. That is, of course, providing they can survive the wilds and each other first. 

@jcstitches here! My very talented partner @empyrisan was kind enough to make some gorgeous cover-art for me, so now I just have to post my story on Tumblr and show it off! They were also behind the idea of making the title like an old-fashioned spaghetti western. <3
