↕️ "Hm? Looks like we have some misplaced relics again. Better put it back before we lose track of it…" 💎 "Have you seen this woman? I'm looking for her. She… owes me something." - monty / amani [here] - huang / nia

↕️ MONTY DARLING

A young archivist who works at Herta Space Station. Monty spends most his time organizing documents and items alike with the help of a gravity-manipulation Curio. Soft-hearted and supportive, he dreams of traveling the cosmos and befriending those who cross his path. Monty's mentor referred him to the space station for his current position on account of his stellar academic track record. Lately, despite his best attempts, said beloved mentor has been rather difficult to contact...

💎 AMANI CHEY

A wandering shapeshifter relentlessly pursuing a figure from her past. Cold-hearted and wary, Amani has a habit of quieting rooms full of people through sheer presence alone. She is a capable fighter, conjuring various weapons of ice to meet her needs. Her alternate form is that of a red-eyed chinchilla. Nimble and discreet, Amani likes gathering information about her target in this shape. Despite others' recommendations, she doesn't like using her chinchilla charm to disarm others with displays of cuteness.

hello to everyone !! i have some sketches of my ocs for their honkai star rail au, in a mostly splash-art-pose-with-label kind of presentation. i started this on a whim, but suddenly it snowballed into two ocs already (that's half of my main little group)! we have monty and amani here with their aforementioned little blurbs. both of these characters are ocs i translated from their previous setting into the world of hsr, and i'm really happy with their core concepts! i also pair them together a lot because they have a lot of contrasts between each other that i enjoy seeing side by side. i struggled with monty's design a lot in the past because he had a very classical-fantasy outfit from his original setting that i couldn't really translate over. it took a few attempts for me to give him a vague coat-ish outer layer with long-trailing tassels (to generally match asta). i think his cute little hat helped pull everything together!! amani's outfit came a lot more easily (though you can only see the back view here). i've always enjoyed giving her the high-waisted shorts (NOT vacuum-sealed to her body), thigh-high boots, and a cropped jacket. her boot designs also ended up being really fun, with the slight cutout behind her legs for more shape-y-ness. i have 2 more characters i hope to draw alongside monty and amani, so will see if i can get to them and have them all together as a little group !!
