Vent art? Vent art.

After six and a half months, my Shield gijinka team is complete, just in time for the Isle of Armor! Sometimes they’re called “The Syllables”, after the fact that Scout likes to give everyone one-syllable nicknames. 

Set in steampunk Galar, the story of the research team begins when Rain leaves from her hometown of Motospoke to research the magic of Dynamax. Along the way, she’s joined by Scout, a sassy child hood friend and fellow wizard; Cairn, a bold and rash miner and expert on Wishing Peaces; Jazz, a standoffish, righteous, and totally not tsundere cleric; Fritz; a nervous wreck after a magic experiment left him with wild fray magic; and Neal, a laid-back bard and swordfighter raised by the Ballonlea fey. 

During their adventure, they find that Dynamax isn't the divine blessing granted by the gods as people thought.... and there are people out there grabbing for its power. It’s up to them to solve the mystery of Dynamax before it falls in the wrong hands!

As you can probably imagine..... DnD is a strong influence this time around. One of my favorite gijinka teams, and definitely want to post bios and updated designs!

To Start Again || Jazz & Lyric

Jazz was trying not to let her nerves get the better of her but it wasn’t working. She’d sent that text over a week ago, surprised that he answered at all. Art created after a breakup or major life event was always different in some way, but since her breakup with Lyric she hadn’t sold a single piece. After hearing from one of their mutual friends that he wasn’t doing so well with his art either she decided to reach out.

But this wasn’t just about the art, well not entirely. She had something to say, whether or not he would take it well was a different story. But still, she stuck to cleaning up her apartment to calm her nerves and waited for her ex-boyfriend to show up. When the door knocked she took a moment to collect herself before answering it.

reality is lemons and the internet’s my lemonade

Over the last few years of designing gijinkas I’ve ended up doing a whole bunch of worldbuilding, so I might as well get around to making some sketches and posts that just feature the gijinkaverse.

Recently I’ve been really influenced by DnD and fleshed out how clerics, paladins, and worship of legendaries work in general. Some legendaries are deities and answer to prayers and worship, some aren’t. 

Cleric adventurers are as much of a thing in this universe as DnD, but their devotion to their deity is more a way to channel their own inherent magic than a source of it. It may inspire some gijinkas to learn non-STAB moves of their patron deity, such as Jazz learning Superpower and Protect to be a protector like her patron deity Zamazenta, or Pablo using Flamethrower to evoke he flames of Reshiram. Legendaries will sometimes answer to prayers from clerics... if they’re in the right mood - so that’s another way that legendary worship is more than just, well, worship, in this universe.
