next bit, practicing with the airbrush.

updated version of this werewolf/lycan form of setto. "green eyes" or... blue? i forget atm.

sad awooos intensify. should they be ash-white like a ghost? would be an uncomfortable thing to have crawling your way.

[samsarapavillion]

lol i’m like super falling asleep but when i read tiddy *opens up can of lols and tweaks out a little*

Art card commission of Settoiel tiddy for @samsarapavillion ! This was a LOT of fun to do, but these colors are just - mmmmmmmmm !!

Would you like me to draw your character? Hit me up!

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

Something different. Heat wave fucking with me~

My two Tarnished so far, El the bloody perfumer and Setto, my Lord of Frenzied Flame to be. I’ve always written/envisioned El to be a fucking bully… who would then go home and be like “why won’t you love me, you fucking critter”

And Setto is just a mobile mini-nuke. Eventually I’ll be able to draw it properly

Format based on a comic by… *checks notes* @\beetlemoses. On Twatter. I thought it fitting~

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

sketch. oc time complete… for now.

all setto wants is to love and be loved but is hilariously fucking stupidly terrible at it. be less crunchy and pointy and noodly and you won't scare folks... slightly less.

i like portraying setto as an amalgam of random shit. nothing says monstrous existence like being a fucking wall of hulking meat and gnashing pointies slowly gravitating towards you. “Be not afraid” “/throws McDonald’s and skidaddles”

I really was influenced too much by Angel Sanctuary and Final Fantasy.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

More dedicated sketch to my one request. So far. Lol

It. It still takes me for a loop, like if anybody noticed my offer at all, I was just expecting more fanart, not for me to ca… to draw my own shit, so it’s surreal. In a good way, though? Good… 😭

Pencil, ballpoint pen, grayscale copics. Shitty Michaels sketchbook. Copics do a cool thing where it makes the ink run. So I guess I did a partial wash.

So much lore hidden behind this one form of Setto cuz I’ve only used it for… fanfic? Which I’ve done very little in the last many years. And original stories where they’re NOT the MC (also little because oof). Basically our “vacation from suffering/canon” costume. Yeah, long hair = MC. Short hair = not MC.

But Setto is a full time sufferholic and even in another universe (last seen: FFVII, stalking Vincent), they must see fit to take another’s pain… Touch grass, my child~

Setto, alias “Yatsui.” Grey Angel, Sin Eater. All-around QQBaby troglodyte.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

Felt compelled to make another comic with my Lord of Frenzied Flame in training. I decided I wanted it to be a running gag that Setto’s head is a fucking bomb waiting to get exploded by any little gotdang thing, and that’s why they gotta meditate 24/7 or the nuisances reduce morale and structural, cranial integrity~

But let’s be real, those fucking dragonflies can eat a dick, I’d blow up too, I just wanna platform down the tombstones, please, let me platform in peace, plat~

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

i decided to abandon this, well, leave it unfinished.

i figured out some things last minute but then i was like meh, this is enough. here lies a record of my effort, because i can. dis my journal, my journey~

my first oc ever, made in high school and my ass literally said "my quesadilla in christ, take my pain" and i took it personally. i legit came to the recent realization that i like y-incision imagery so much is because it's one of the last memories of my sister, smh. setto, never fear, your pain will end when mine does, uwuu~ /starts playing "return to oblivion"

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

so i actually scribbled this out pretty quick last night. too lazy to... link the older ones for comparison. just... setto is more crispy. needed more horn. needed MORE char, therefore hair burned off.

actually a floaty centaur below the waist. why four legs if hate gravity? because heck, that's why.

setto contains a lot of everything, including bad things. this one likes to burn shit. shade likes to be a goddess of blood and lust. most of the other forms are just kinda sorta forces of nature that rampage and rest. the ones with mental faculties closer to human are more dangerous, for obvious reasons lol. a couple good ones, thoough.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

color practice with properly(?) [censored] black eyes!setto. mostly trying to use clip studio again without it crashing my computer. may or may not be going well.

something with a slightly more definitive color to this particular form of theirs. wait, shit, why did i put a tail?? this form just doesn't actually have a tail, i just like tails

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

*lol, had to repost because tumblr did not like the fake genitalia even with filter applied. Sticker sticked instead.*

Anyway. Sorry not sorry, here is another Setto redraw. “Black Eyes.” Demon. Sluttiest looking non-slut you’ll ever see. Also, small love story to horns that look like fuckinnnnnng religious accessories, thanks Shadow Hearts~

One of the few times Setto will ever have the most fourth wall breaking clarity of his entire character

It’s been 20 years but I still remember tiny bits of the story I wrote as some manic teen. They have the most clarity because they’re stuck the deepest inside Setto, and also have the shortest half-life. Basically they pop up to Drana and says, they says in almost Royal We-ness, “Listen, little lady, this weird… thing that we are, that chased you halfway across the cosmos like a lovesick puppy, we are destined for something great and terrible and all-consuming. We don’t know it yet. So we will fumble stupidly through time until that promised event…and also fuck your life because we’re down bad over an insignificant thing like you. Sorry about that. Kisses.”

Here’s the original lol. Haven’t touched this design since I was 19, whaaaat. Ugh look at this lol

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

The other redraw that spontaneously combusted when I saw this nice sculpture on Pinterest last night.

“Gray Eyes.” Gray goo baby, also known as…check notes… Legion? So I wanted to give this Setto a column of bodies. I don’t remember what this breakdown did other than maybe infect other things…or assimilate them?

Idk I think I got super inspired by Parasite Eve lol. Golden Age SNES and PS1 era molded me.

Not sure if this is an analog to El, I made El while getting down bad for Berserk and Vampire Hunter D.

Also original, O O F, what a turnaround~

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

And the last bit of OC indulgence. The duality of Setto. Nigga spends most of their time in the fantasy genre looking like somebody’s pet. But switch over to space opera story where they’re just a bit player, and then he’s like “what do I dress like… The fuck are these? Pants?? Normal clothes??? The audacity~” That lapel though. Inspired by Nigredo in Xenosaga.

Otherwise Setto is just naked a lot because somebody looked at ‘em weird and they rip ass and sullenly turn into a monster. Cannot contain the angst~

Hair stays mostly the same.

Scribbles.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

Scribble redraw of another Setto. One of their “ah shit somebody hurt me, better get bent out of shape QQbaby style” breakdowns.

Checks notes… “Orange eyes.” Dragon form. But the original drawing wasn’t interesting enough, so I ditched the wings, and fucked up Setto’s face a little more. Now with more lizard behavior, like picture how a gecko moves and then this thing just fucking…slithering your way up a dark corridor.

From the ancient 500 page story I wrote now long lost to life happening, I can’t remember if I actually used this or was just a what-if? I just wanted to assert that Setto is an unstable entity capable of just randomly turning crunchy or pointy. Or slimy. Or supernova. Or hot.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

and while i've been experiencing twitter and hating it, i've found a good few monster/lovecraft-inspired women artists who make me want to dive back into what makes setto and what makes el. since they are both mutable, roiling masses thinly viewed in pretty attempts at human flesh.

i randomly thought up a situation where setto is having a bad day, so his body is becoming unstable. and then he sneezes so hard his face flies open lol. "oh no, will drana like me like this? look away, i'm hideous". i'm sure universe #1 drana would shit bricks, universe #2 drana has been through so much shit, she'd go "uhhh...maybe a little bit of makeup". no but actually he still hides himself if he can help it. emo bitch

el, on the other hand, revels in being able to do to his body whatever he wants. he is the quintessential hedonist, epicurean whatever, he will want to experience everything every which way, all in his pursuit to quell an unfathomed loneliness. even if a twisted heap of eyes, claws, sinew and spine a cup of tea is good at all times.

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

i decided to finish this vampire hunter d comic i helped kickstart, and you know, just. dynamic poses, you know? comics are great for inspiring that.

and on the briefest oc kick, i returned to shade, one of setto's manifestations when he has a crisis episode.

shade is like an extra ass...baphomet, in some eras seen as a goddess of fertility and blood because they channel urges way too haaaard. setto doesn't like that, but can't control it so oops. tiddies.

suddenly realized i just randomly had a LOT OF TONGUE STICKING OUT HAPPENING. why, it's like some kinda...freudian...thing...lol...

[sixrealmsbeneaththesea]

celebrating the first commission i've paid for in many, many years with an oc comm parade. some of these people don't even exist anymore? the artists, i mean.

reject ai, buy all the art, you could make friends and fans this way. or make it yourself. idk. just... treat the shit like pokemon cards. i choose you, setto. eldritch angst attack

credits under cut (idk about actual links because half these folks legit have gone incommunicado lol):

wen-m was my first and bro damn near wanted $300, but i had financial aid from college. el looks so professional.

a lady named mookyvet (originally on deviantart) made setto (moonsuit) and drana (hibiscus) for me.

the two chibi stickers and THE most recent, done today, dom, were made by my internet bro's smol husband, neekko of http://www.neekko.art, he need money bad, my homies been dealt a lot of bad juju this year. he's also on twatter, @/neekko. i'm prolly crying into the void as always, but worth a shot.

mayabrisa/nootziq made that one setto bust. one of the old ACEOs i got from @/korsithkoris, this extra drana with a tambourine, idfk... holy shit. and the last one, by a *checks notes* dg-sama but i don't think they have that name anymore.

just an oc parade. because i have to be my own fan
