Fratmosphere ask: Kaolin angst?

Say LESS!

Kaolin has a very complicated relationship with himself. He feels very deeply and uses humor to cover up how sad he feels. Classic class clown syndrome.

He feels the most Alien out of his brothers, and struggles to make connections with them. He often makes them upset with his insensitive jokester attitude. Kaolin doesn’t particularly enjoy upsetting his brothers, but he’d rather make them mad than open up about how he feels inside.

As the glass middle child, he is not used to positive attention. He’s more comfortable getting negative attention for things he’s doing wrong, which kind of just feeds the whirlpool of self loathing.

Ok I have another gem in the works and two fusions I’m working on but have this little guy in the meantime

Kaolin my beloved, she does pottery and molds herself into tools like Bismuth and the pebbles

This is an easy post because he is baby

Simple character made while playing with friends = good boy

[allegro-mcvivace]

yeah i originally wasn't gonna post these because i was in the process of remaking them, but i genuinely haven't been able to focus on it likely due to burnout from how i was doing it for a month straight

so i decided i would just post the old ones so there'd be something for the characters that i didn't update yet

bonus: the two i did in fact update (i did not include arco's old one because it's genuinely bad, hence why he's missing above)

i only did up to lindsay so no major, natalie, or otto (and mint is not present here either) simply because i haven't drawn them before in this ref-worthy kind of way

Kaolin is one of the game contestants.

He's very snarky and boasts about his status. What status, you may ask? He's a collectors' item. Being a living porcelain doll, he's notably fragile and in constant fear of being devalued in any way. If he had his way, he'd be in a glass display case and never have to move around.

saw this. thing on tiktok where you redraw your oc in an album cover of a random spotify song so!!! i did it!!!!

WoL and OC Ramblings Before Work

I've been thinking so much recently about Eramus and his relationship with the OCs and Shards I've made in his world.

Kaolin, his adoptive sister Marie and Fenris, the lovely Hyur couple who adopted him

Yanlite and Oselle, his biological parents he never got to know

Harklan, his first child Altan, his second child Beguul Ja, his third child

Cionent, his antagonist in HW who would have done anything to watch him and Ishgard sink Ota, an innocent Au Ra caught up in Valigarmanda's release

Erebus, Azem Erephus, Golbez in the Thirteenth Shard Eris, an Allagan who fell in love with Vrtra Jazu, a broken man from Alexandria

Eramus has such a unique relationship with each and every OC I've made in his story and it makes me so soft and squishy. I need to talk about all of them so much more.

My Outer Wilds OCs

This may or may not be relevant to my current projects...

Gypsum is small and pale, frail-looking with a sweet smile and only a few spots on their cheeks. They wear a lot of uncolored cloth and a scarf of dark blue. Green eyes, claps to the music. Gypsum is chronically ill and is usually stuck on bed rest; they work when they’re able by mending clothes, calculating star distances from pictures, and a lot of other busywork. As a person they are gentle, soft-spoken, and very low energy and apologetic about it, as their illness keeps them from much else. They have a core of steel when needed though.

Citrine wears olive drab overalls with lots of pockets and a tattered, pale green sweater. They also have a giant clunky work belt, clompy boots which are a bit big for their average size (same as Feldspar), and a black flat cap hat. Blue eyes, plays the spoons. Citrine is very autistic-coded, they work as a janitor and general handyman in the village as their special interest is cleaning and maintenance. They became friends with the much more gregarious Slate when they started cleaning up their messes when things went wrong, then stayed friends when Slate realized they’re fine with being conscripted for projects. Citrine prefers things simple and safe, but they chronically cover for other people's errors to keep from rocking the boat. This does come back to bite them sometimes, but they're learning to stand up for themself better.

Orogeny is standard hatchling model, tall and lanky, with a washed out, grey scarf. Yellow eyes, plays the violin. Orogeny is a calm, horribly practical hatchling with a firm grounding in reality with bends towards despondency. They fall into apathy easily but also find a lot of simple joy in things.

Chlorite is a tall and sturdy person, a little on thicker side because they are very fit as part of being an astronaut. They wear a dark green scarf and have a few scars on their arms. Yellow eyes, plays the kazoo. Outgoing, reckless, brave, a little dumb sometimes, but stubborn and well-meaning. Their friends growing up were Marl and Hal.

Beryl is a very tall, very thin person who wears dark blue pants and a grey long-sleeve shirt with a leather lap apron over it. They wear a lot of white and brown patches on their clothes, these patches being scraps of undyed cloth. Orange eyes, plays the lyre. Beryl is the cloth-maker and dyer of the village, they act very courtly. They’re on the gentle side and polite, with a love for their craft and a sheepish lack of knowledge about sewing or anything to do with the cloth after it’s made.

Kaolin wears a brown dress with an orange shawl overtop, lots of patches on the lower hem of the skirt. They are on the shorter end, but they make up for it in sheer presence. Yellow eyes, plays the concertina. Kaolinite works as the Hearthians’ librarian/archivist, keeping all the books and papers that aren’t private in their house and sometimes lending them out for research or light reading. They’re friends with Esker in that Esker will deliberately keep a book until it’s overdue just so Kaolinite will visit the radio tower and call to yell at them. They are kinda granny-coded, outspoken, and a horrible gossip, with a rivalry with Hornfels over their work and where papers should be kept, as well as organization.

Orpiment is average size, same as Gossan, and they wear a grey miner’s helmet, tan pants, sturdy boots, and a red shirt with a gray kerchief around their neck. Blue eyes, plays the penny whistle. Orpiment is a lot like Feldspar but of the mines, their job as a miner allowing them free reign to explore the tunnels under the crust left by the Nomai. Their likeness to their friend causes Gossan some grief, as does their recklessness, and they clash once or twice because their safety and how they act isn’t for Gossan to control. They are cheerful, brave, and an optimist with a realist bend, with a love for song. They’re good friends with Tuff and they work together regularly with Tektite doing miner things in miner cultural fashion.

Um so I have never made any WOF Ocs actually, but I got this idea after a conversation with someone on Instagram about artisan mudwings and I just... had to do it.

This is Kaolin, she is a mudwing with a color defect (sort of like a lavender or arctic morph in hognose snakes) that makes her scales more off-white/purple. Her and her sibs speculate that they all have some small percentage of icewing blood which is showing up in her, but they are for the most part pure mudwing. She and her sibs were all named after different elements found in pottery clay, with Kaolinite being the main ingredient in porcelain! She has gotten a lot of blue tattoos since they show up so nicely on her scales, making her look like a porcelain pot.

She is the main potter in her sibling group, and creates the majority of their wares. Her brother Feldspar works with her in the workshop, firing her pots with his firebreath as well as painting and glazing them. He designed her tattoos. Their sister Shale forages for the clay they use in their pottery, as she has the best nose for the right minerals. Their bigwings Benton and their sister Mica run the front of the house, Mica being the friendly face and Benton handling the money (and being the hard negotiator when someone is being too pushy for Mica). All of her sibs look very standard, she sticks out like a sore thumb!

Kaolin has a delicate claw and sees the beauty in the details. She molds clay as though it were a living thing, coaxing the shapes from the earth. Her earthenware is revered far and wide for its versatility, durability, and beauty.
