Sketchtober 31 - Elizabeth

It took me longer than I expected, but it is finished. 2023's sketchtober is a wrap! Had to end with Elizabeth, from one of my favorite games of all time, Bioshock Infinite. Now, back to posting some paintings!

[toonocosm]

I've made a custom Sketchtober prompt list this month and turning my OCs into fantasy MMORPG characters were the prompts from the 8th to the 11th. I've wanted to do this ever since I made this post, if you read it you'll get some insights into my design decisions here.

Necromancer Ravi

Ravi uses life force that he steals from enemies to conjure up necrotic spells. However, if he depletes all his stored life force he will start using his own which damages him (This is an excuse to draw him as a living skeleton lol). He can also create undead minions by using bones he finds in the environment. His outfit is based on the Ritualist Outfit from Guild Wars 2.

Virtuoso Kiana

I love how her design turned out! She's a magical girl fairy. LOOK AT HER, she's so fantasy! Her design is based on my main in GW2. She conjures up thorn knives that she lunges at her targets. She can't fly, but she can glide and get a bit more height when jumping thanks to her wings.

Guardian Api

You get a little look into what Api used to look like in 2016 here, he used to have angled back solar panels and different hands. And as you can see, this is not the first time I've drawn Api with armor (Based on the Protector's armor from GW2), so I just redrew that old piece from 2016. Like I said in my post from 2023 that I linked above, I still don't know what I want to do with Api in an MMORPG setting. But maybe I shouldn't overthink it, perhaps it's fun to just make him a classic knight.

Soulbeast Lotl

I based their clothes on the Rift Hunter armor from GW2, I'm not entirely sold on this design for Lotl though. But I might be able to grow to like it, I do like the slight viking vibe. I need to do more sketches to show off Lotl's whole gimmick in this mmorpg AU though. But basically, they're a pet wielding class and they can merge with their active pet. I'm thinking of giving them three different pets, one land-based pet, one aquatic pet and one that can fly. And I could make them have elemental powers, which Lotl would gain when merging with them. So that could be neat!

DUDELZ of the Damned | Punishment, Pt. 1

HEY THERE PEOPLE OF TODAY AND ROBOTS OF TOMORROW! IT'S ME, CLARK!

A chill is in the air. You can feel it can't you? Perhaps you even recognize it. That same chill arrives every year right on the dot. With it comes a frightful howl in the moonlight, the only other sound to be heard. Otherwise there is a strange calmness settling around you, like the point of ease before the storm. By now the howling has stopped. It has been replaced by a different sound. Footsteps. Big, heavy, dragging, as if the figure didn't quite know how to use their legs. Perhaps it's a random passerby. Perhaps it's a rotting, frightful feature freshly risen from the grave. Perhaps it's some other, unspeakable horror waiting to pounce! Whatever it is, you're not waiting around to find out! Yet no matter how far you run, it can't be escaped. The chill in the air, the howling of the wind, the heavy footsteps, it all leads back to one thing: October is here! And with it comes the return of the DUDELZ of the Damned!

Yes weirdos, like last year, my approximation of Sketchtober has returned. I call it an proxy because there was no list of prompts. Nah, that'd be too limiting. This is yet another case where I compiled my own list of ideas, sketched them out, then used one color per picture. With all that said, let's see what spoopy scribblings await us today!

Fighting evil by moonlight! Winning love by daylight! Never running from a real fight! She is the one called Sailor Moon! Meanwhile, I'm the guy who got tricked into wearing this stupid freak'n costume. Again. It never fails. Every year at least one of my friends manages to manipulate events so I end up dressed in a girly costume. This year it's for a character I'm not even a fan of. Well, like heck am I doing it alone this year! Not when @burningthrucelluloid looks so good in a skirt. >:3

Okay, this one's gonna require some context. Back in 2017 I had reached 300 Watchers on my deviantART page. As a celebration of this achievement, folks could suggest stuff for me to review, one peep picking a Sailor Moon mobile game. These were the original Giraffe's Eye Views, and this one in particular sported me wearing the iconic Sailor Scout uniform for a gag. Now you'd think that'd be the end of it. After all, hardly anybody read the review in the first place. So how could this possibly come back to bite me? Quite easily, as it turns out. See, I have malicious friends. One of them saw this review and decided to draw me in this outfit once more. They then drew me as Harley Quinn from Arkham Knight. From there Alec would keep the gag going by paying multiple artists absurd amounts of money to draw me as various other female characters, usually with boobies so large they have their own gravitational pull. I've been drawn as Mayday Parker's Spider-Girl, Carol Danvers's Miss Marvel, Pinkie Pie from Equestria Girls, it never seemed to end! Now far be it from me to foil a good running gag, but this really got annoying after a while. For crying out loud, it started to feel like my friends were forgetting I was a dude. So after a talk we all agreed the joke would be saved for special occasions. Turns out Halloween is one of those special occasions. Especially when it follows a year of my friend putting me through the wringer in Dungeons and Dragons. Remember this when you start up your next campaign, buddy! Besides, I've had that 'in the name of the moon, the bear, and the big blue house' gag rattling around in my head for a while now and Sailor Bumper demanded to be drawn. Here's hoping you all enjoy this more than Alec does. And remember: wear leggings under your battle skirt! The October breeze is not forgiving, even to magical anime chicks.

Also, since it seems I didn't post last year's DUDELZ on tumblr, here's how I embarrassed Alec back in 2023:

Here is my friend dressed as Abigale Brand from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, a show I convinced him to check out and a character he deemed 'sexy'. All this paired with a quote he said. Remember folks; giraffes can be devious! >:3

BONUS QUESTION: Which Sailor Scout is your favorite?

MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU!
