Process gif for the [ last piece ]! It was a bit of a rough ride.

#ok short tags b/c for some reason firefox is using 70% of my memory to up- oh hey its done #that means long tags !#uh. this was a three day kinda thing #the first two were done in one day #the next two in one #and then the last one was one day in it of itself #was really trying to go for the 20/80 rule and i think it worked out? (it didn't. lack of planning led to a lot of changes down the line #that would have otherwise easily been resolved had i thought about it more than 2 minutes)#but in my defense the worms got me and i could do nothing but paint else id die #uhhhhh yeah no! if you saw my favourite brushes post youll see them in here HAHA #mostly lasso fill oil paint hardsoft and palette knife for this one #if anyone has questions or anything id be happy to answer! tho i feel it's fairly self explanatory

WOW I FINALLY FINISHED THIS SET. There were a lot of things I wanted to get right for them so I took some extra time but hopefully it was worth it! The guild for this set is Cobalt Heart- a guild with focus on maritime missions, lead by (of course) guildmaster Neptune. There was no other planet I could've picked for his namesake lol. They're the guild I jokingly call the most jockish, but some moreso than others. I really do hope I did all the characters justice, but if you wanna know more about the individual members, it's under the cut as usual!

Name: Neptune

Name Origin: The planet named for the god of the ocean

Pronouns: He/him

Age: 52

Guild rank: Guildmaster

Weapon: Trident

Ethos (Power): Ocean wave (Control over water- stronger with sea water)

Flaw power is based on: Originally based on his overly relaxed go-with-the-flow nature, but since becoming a father and guildmaster he's matured, and his power grew from simple wave control to more powerful control over the ocean's water. Waves aren't always peaceful, but he's become someone who understands their power and the responsibility needed for it.

Notes: If it's unclear, the marks on his chest are meant to be top surgery tattoos, but in cool wave shapes!

Name: Triton

Name Origin: Neptune's moon, aptly named for his son

Pronouns: He/they

Age: 24

Guild rank: 4 star

Weapon: Twin sai

Ethos (Power): Ocean breath (Underwater breathing as well as other aquatic adaptions)

Flaw power is based on: His ardent wanderlust, especially in regards to the ocean. They literally cannot leave it alone despite any possible better reasoning, which is when it becomes a problem.

Notes: Was his other parent a mermaid or did they just do the fish thing on their own? The world may never know.

Name: Otrera

Name Origin: A trojan asteroid named after the queen of the Amazons

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 32

Guild rank: 5 star

Weapon: Brass knickles

Ethos (Power): Preflexes (Hightened reflexes)

Flaw power is based on: Her overly-guarded and cagey nature.

Notes: But her brass knuckles are pink so its quirky when she knocks your teeth out.

Name: Naos

Name Origin: A star whose name means "ship"

Pronouns: He/him

Age: 21

Guild rank: 3 star

Weapon: Modified crutches

Ethos (Power): Helm (He can change the direction of inanimate objects. It's not limited to projectiles, he can change the direction of objects while they're in someone's hand too.)

Flaw power is based on: His avoidant tenancies, especially where more serious responsibility is concerned.

Notes: Honestly? Joined the guild to boost his playboy status.

Name: Aitne

Name Origin: One of Jupiter's moons, named after the personification of Mount Etna, a stratovolcano

Pronouns: They/them

Age: 27

Guild rank: 4 star

Weapon: Spiked gauntlets and armor

Ethos (Power): Molten Core (Lava manipulation)

Flaw power is based on: Their brash and destructive nature.

Notes: Likes all their food to be charred.

Name: Ariel

Name Origin: A moon or Uranus, named after an air spirit!

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 16

Guild rank: 2 star

Weapon: Baton

Ethos (Power): Harmony (Perfect balance on anything)

Flaw power is based on: Her own difficulty maintaining emotional balance under stress

Notes: She's a gymnast! And even though I didn't make the character named "Ariel" a mermaid, you can still see a scale pattern in her leotard!

Name: Maru

Name Origin: A white dwarf whose name means "Sky." It's orbited by the planet Ahra.

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 18

Guild rank: 3 star

Weapon: Claymore sword

Ethos (Power): Sky walking (She is capable of interacting with air as if it were a tangible object, creating leverage for herself to walk and balance on as if it were solid)

Flaw power is based on: Her somewhat vain tendency to place herself above others

Notes: Complete and utterly confident she's the cooler twin

Name: Ahra

Name Origin: A exoplanet whose name means "Ocean." It orbits the star Maru.

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 18

Guild rank: 3 star

Weapon: Claymore sword

Ethos (Power): Wave riding (Creation and control of tidal waves to ride on, as if she was surfing them with no board. But she does have to be on them.)

Flaw power is based on: Her arrogance and recklessness

Notes: Completely and utterly convinced she's the cooler twin.

Name: Pipoltr/Pip

Name Origin: A star named for "a bright and beautiful butterfly."

Pronouns: Whatever really?

Age: 8

Guild rank: 1 star

Weapon: Giant lollipop

Ethos (Power): None yet!

Flaw power is based on: N/A. This doesn't mean they're flawless, but until their power develops they're really just here to go on fun little adventures.

Notes: This child hangs around with sailors all day long. The words they know....

#finn's ocs #finn's art #oc references #FINALLY POSTING THIS SET #there was a bit of a delay bc i wanted to make sure i got the crutches w naos right #i ended up not making just the crutches a weapon but like. with modifications based on a real self defense item i found #but slightly different for both fantasy reasons and also i think its patented lol #his pose is also based on a real self defense w crutches video that my friend sent me (hiiii thank you for that once more btw <3)#so like hes very much in motion here. thats not how he usually stands w the crutches lol he usually like. uses them as crutches lol #the little trigger on them is what releases and returns the blade in them btw #also as for the rest of the group! i think neptune is absolutely the most fitting of his namesake out of all the guildmasters #i mean they all have aspects of it but he's fully embraced it. despite what i said abt him growing into responsibility and all #hes still such a chill nice guy. just in general. it would take a lot to get him angry (and if you did the sea is NOT peaceful!)#and in a lot of ways triton is like how he was when he was younger. responsibilities dont matter he needs to go to the challengers deep NOW #also the reason i picked twin sai to be his weapon is bc i didnt wanna do a trident twice. even tho like thats kind of the typical motif #but sai are like. also a 3 pronged weapon. so i felt it kept the energy. but smaller and 2 of them #omg speaking of weapons i completely accidentally added a trans flag to ariel's baton design lol. but i left it in why not #i had such a hard time w her colors bc i wanted her to be flashy but also to make the leotard mermaid esque #also for it to not be too revealing. like leda (from the lunar flare set) can have an exposing leotard tutu sure but shes an adult #and i wanted to give ariel more of like an 80s home gym workouts vibe. with the legwarmers and scrunchies lol #and the twins!!! i wanted to make them samey but differeny. in a way i havent done w matching outfits before #bc the actual shapes of the clothes are very different but the colors totally match!#plus the twins are fraternal. i feel like thats obvious what w their different hair colors but there are more subtle things #like slightly different eyes. the height and weight differences arent part of that tho bc that can happen to any twins even identical #otrera i also had a lot of fun with. especially the blonde hair in an emo bang with like a pink sporty outfit #the crown logo references her namesake being a queen too!#she really was fun tho bc shes just no nonsense trusts nothing but her gut. and shes meant to be like an MMA type #aitne was also super fun but a bit tricky to make it clear that their eye is half lidded from the burns and not just like a drawing mistake #but i think i made it clear! its important bc their vision is also impaired on that side #and the burns themselves were most likely an accident on their end. remember they're brash and destructive. even to themself!

Darling: you hate me, it's written all over your face

Reader's resting b*tch face: what?

darling says it just to annoy you lbr. bc no matter how bad your resting bitch face is, the tsaritsa's is worse. darling has had years to learn how to discern the tsaritsa's mood when shes as reactive as a statue.

#asks #pale-value #sagau #tsaritsa #darling #in the tsaritsa's defense it isnt intentional shes just Like That. shes only expressive when she wants to be unnerving #bc whats scarier then blank faced tsaritsa staring you down? tsaritsa smiling. start counting bc you have seconds left #its like 99% body language and its all extremely subtle though. its an art form atp #80% of that body language btw is her ears. its why she hides them bc they give it away so EASILY.#reader being as stone faced is a challenge to darling though. like oh worm??? bet #darling thrives off chaos bc its the only entertainment they get when ur literally g-d #especially if you do not give a shit abt them being the creator. it just makes everything Worse #they r keeping you in a container like a lab rat #also unrelated but im fully taking over darling sorry comrade. my oc now /j #ive been having brainrots abt worldbuilding w darling. they arent even an unreleased character like tsaritsa. im going 2 eat a brick #WHAT WORLD AM I BUILDING HERE. MY OWN PERSONAL HELL?????????#yes. i am. thanks for coming 2 my ted talk gn

I think hcs were the Harringtons are fine, actually, are cool or whatever, but I genuinely don't know how you justify "good parents" accepting their son was nearly beat to Literal Death twice in one year and apparently not doing a damn thing about it

#shut up az #like Steve gets his shit rocked in October #and then in July of THE NEXT YEAR #like first of all if that was my kid Billy would be in jail forever #because Steve was still a minor at the time I'm pretty sure #and so was Billy but like. your high school aged son almost died #this is ignoring all the shit he went through in junior year btw like FORGETTING THAT CONTEXT #thats enough #anyway so he bombs senior year #and you make him get a job if he refuses to do more college applications instead of like. getting him therapy #okay its the 80s whatever #but then at this job he almost dies again #like he disappears for 24 hours and then shows up and is like hey guys and he's been beaten almost to death AGAIN #IN ANOTHER INCIDENT INVOLVING THAT SAME BILLY KID #like you might accept the fire excuse except that fire doesn't beat the shit out of you and he has no burns or smoke inhalation symptoms #but okay #and you wake up and you see the news that Billy died in the fire and you're like #holy shit did my fucking son kill a guy? and like no question about self defense eight bc Billy has already done this once #but at that point you would be like oh . My son killed a guy in self defense because the guy was trying to kill him again #LIKE IT WOULD AT LEAST CROSS YOUR MIND RIGHT???#and anyway even if you ignored all of that and didn't immediately send your son to therapy to find out if he's okay #or like at least ground him for the rest of the summer #when he DISAPPEARS AGAIN THE NEXT SPRING #NEVER CAME HOME FROM WORK #WHILE THERE IS AN ALLEGED SERIAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE #KILLING BASKETBALL TEAM MEMBERS SPECIFICALLY #IDK I FEEL LIKE MOT BEING ONSCREEN MEANS THEY SPECIFICALLY ARE BAD PARENTA #oh this got out of hand very quickly #anyway like yeah they're probably not cartoonishly evil #but even if they're home every day and have never mistreated him

wow dating vace really is.............like that

#how do you say (derogatory) while also implying you like the character without saying (affectionate)#i always forget just how much time i spent being frozen with my mouth open in shock during vace routes #i never know how to describe the emotion it makes me feel. its always. like a mixture of complete terror and slapstick comedy amusement #i did every version of romancing him i could think of. made the mistake of doing sidechick first. that was hellish #in my defense. i didnt know it would be. i didnt. listen i dont know what i expected #it is crazy to get disconnect the array while in a relationship w/ him and like. apparently actually grow old with him.#you get so little detail but that seems to be what it implies. just INSANE compared to his other romance endings.#like wtf tell me more thats not supposed to happen! we are supposed to break up or die!!!!#digi discusses #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers //#also because it was my assol run i was talking back to him to see what would happen and then reload #and theres one specific quote i wish id ss because it has not left my brain since i read it. its petrifyingly awful.#and losing like 80+ friendship from a single dialogue option was new 4 me this run. it was funny w/ vace in a way but Not w/ nem. that hurt

love the girl trying to choreograph our choir stuff asking us to bring in sunglasses as if half the choir doesnt wear glasses

#i literally dont even own any sunglasses bc i cant use them #so annoying not only is the one we're dancing to the SEVEN MINUTE song. but also i hate dancing.#if i wanted to dance and sing at the same time i wouldve done musical theater instead of choir idiot #anyways i gotta stop complaining out loud she was telling us this last class #and i thought i was being quiet when i was sadly like 'i wear glasses.... :(' um. i was not being as quiet as i thought oops #IN MY DEFENSE. i was very eepy. and i hate having to dance for choir THE SONGS ARENT EVEN GOOD #the end of year concert is supposed to be the fun pop music time and the theme is fucking like. retro. its all shit 70s and 80s songs.#LIKE THE 7 min one is a medley of fucking YACHT ROCK. including a worse version of dancing queen by not abba #i hate the songs soso much. theres one w a line about squares (nerds) and the prof gave a lecture abt what it means WE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS #complainibg. ill have to remember to see if i can find sunhlasses before tomorrow i can steal. i literally dont own any sunglasses.....

are u ever so entrenched in gender nonconformity u accidentally loop back around to conformity. just had the thought ‘feminine butch double gnc 🤩’ what are you talking about. That’s the most gc.

#in my defense i am very tired ☝️#its like. girl who is masc in the way boys are femme #crop tops and daisy dukes but in an 80s jock way #is this anything #its like when rupphire switched presentations for the wedding #ruby wearing a dress was double gnc #RED alert

got bored and started drawing the bitb guys in action park :]

#my post #realized today that they COULDVE gone #i mean being from lousiana they would have had to travel past several other probably better waterparks to get there #but did those parks have the ASBESTOS SLIDE i mean ALPINE SLIDE #did they have MAN IN THE BALL IN THE BALL #anyways. smiles. fun fact about me i have this dormant obsession with this random ass waterpark from the 80s #in my defense. i saw a defunctland video about it. and its just so fucking weird guys #anyways i think rolan would look at the wavepool and have horrible flashbacks to when he saw the bodies in the river
