“ every piece of me, holds parts of you ”

↳ ❝ ¡love and deepspace headcannon, y’all know that one trend where you match nail polish with each other’s eyes? yeahhhhh!❞

•◦இ•◦

xavier

there’s something about his blue eyes that just aren’t like the others yknow?

they’re expressing and deep like one’s unwavering desire

pools of deep blue that surely if you look hard enough would reveal his heart and soul to you

and when the light hits them a certain way? they look almost space like

all things aside— this man is an odd one truly

he’ll never be aware of it but he’s incredibly clingy

and he’s such a pouty baby bless his soul

you were having a girls night with tara and a few other female coworkers

he was a bit perturbed when he came knocking at your apartment seeking his favorite napping buddy only to greeted by a tara with hair curlers in and a sheet mask

ever since then he had been insistent on having a “girls night” with you

you really didn’t know what to do with him some days

you explain to him the concepts of it— the bonding and the more or less gossiping with some snacks as you guys helped each other wind down for the night painting each other’s nails or doing each other’s hair

that man is unfazed— he wants all in

though he insists it’s less of a girls thing and more of a you and him thing, you figured

so after a long exhausting week of deepspace hunter stuff, you and him have your little girls night

you get into the nitty gritty of it, although he wasn’t one for gossip he liked hearing you fill him in on the work culture he didn’t bother to immerse himself in

you introduce him to sunscreen and a few other things in mortification after finding out his entire skincare is bar soap and warm water

as the night winded down, you both wearing your face masks and snacking— it was time to paint your nails

you didn’t exactly expect him to join in, it was a preference and he’d definitely stand out more than he likes to if he did so you just go on looking for whatever color you’re feeling

but you get an idea and suddenly you’re holding up every blue polish to his eyes

he’s reasonably confused but he couldn’t help but melt when you explained that you wanted your nails to match the pretty blue of his eyes

now he’s determined and starts doing the same to yours, pulling up bottle after bottle to match with yours

once you two settle on your colors, you get to work

but of course nail painting is a tedious task, it wasn’t long before the two of you fell asleep against each other with half painted nails

but at least you wore a part of each other

rafayel

his eyes— lord

they’re ethereal

like the blueish purple shifting to a pinky hue like that color combo is mesmerizing

believe it or not but he’s the one who approaches you with the idea

something about it being only natural that he and his self appointed bodyguard should match

of course you go along with his antics, after all it’s been a while since you’ve gotten your nails done

he’s very insistent that he paints them for you, after all they’re just another canvas for him

when you visit him at his studio he shows out with a multitude of different nail polishes and gems and what not

it seems like he lost the plot

he tells you not to worry and to trust the process but this man is gluing acrylic tips on your nails as we speak

his work is precise and detailed and before you know it you have a full set of acrylic nails on

he definitely went overboard but not in a bad way— aside from the color of his eyes the nails had elements of his other aspects

basically he gave you mermaid nails following the color scheme of his eyes

you can’t even complain because they look GOOD

genuinely you’re wondering when this man learned how to be a nail tech

you feel kinda bad because although you painted his nails your eye color (or colors for the heterochromia babes) they were kinda… meh

of course he comforts you… by saying there’s only room for one artist in your relationship

all jokes aside (after you smack him with a pillow) he reassures you, the color of your eyes was already beautiful enough for him and now he could look at his hands to remind himself of you

zayne

his eyes are gorgeous

like think summer greens and woodsy vibes

for someone who’s so cold, his eyes look so warm

lately when you’ve been getting your nails done you’ve stuck with neutrals, you didn’t want anything crazy to stand out yet you wanted something subtle and soft for you to look at

and you just so happened to have an affinity for the color green

the first time he notices is after he invites you over to make dinner with him

he was distracting you, you were in charge of chopping the vegetables and he had the audacity to make you laugh

it was no wonder you slipped with the knife and was now sitting on the counter while he tended to your finger while chastising you in his normal manner

as he stood positioned in between your legs cleaning the wound he couldn’t help but notice your nails, a nice shade in between olive and forest green— although the polish was chipping a little

you know he was going to ask so you pull your finger away in embarrassment

hearing you meekly admit that the color reminded you of his eyes stirred something in him

as he wrapped your finger with care he mentions that he has a day off coming up in the upcoming weeks

he offered to treat you, getting your nails done of course after all who is he to not feel honored by your color choice?

although embarrassed, you accept his offer it was sweet of him

when the time comes and you’re sitting at the salon getting your nails done, you join the sweet old ladies into egging him on to also get his nails done

and no clear polish nonsense either

although he could’ve argued that being a surgeon required that his hands neat and clean, he can’t help but humor you

so you both walk out with painted nails, you with your forest olive green— and his with the colors mirroring your own eyes

when the ladies at the salon caught wind of the reasons behind your color choices they insisted you got the magnetic gel polish giving the cat eye affect free of charge

now when you looked at your nails, you could also get lost in them like you would in his eyes

sylus

his eyes have to be the scariest pool of red you’ve ever seen

yet there’s a certain way when he looks at you that you can’t help but get lost in them for hours

when you first proposed the idea he thought it was stupid and a waste of time— but in that same breath… he couldn’t say no to you

also he liked the fact that you’d have something to constantly remind yourself of him and his presence when he wasn’t already physically looming over you

so he decides to humor it, just this once because it makes your eyes light up and he thinks it’s worth it

as you’re looking for the perfect nail polish to match his eyes, he’s also quietly searching

he might as well return the favor after all, even if having painted nails compromised his stature and respect he’d just get rid of anyone who even dared to think of such a thing

besides— you also had really pretty eyes

when the next time he sees you, he sees the ethereal shade of red shimmering on your nails and it’s like a force possesses him

quite literally cannot keep his eyes off of them and his hands off of you, your hand has a permanent place in his as he rubs against your knuckles with the pad of his thumb

you couldn’t help but notice that he also went and painted his nails, a familiar color as well

he was very nonchalant about his nails of course, giving attention to your nails only

the affect it had on him was insane— it looked almost as if it were a brand, a sign that you were his

he swears to himself that you’d continue to be adorned in red, it was definitely your color

❀° ┄───╮

I finished @thechrispavon 's OC, Zane Artemis

So shiny... + it glows in the dark too! :D

It all started as a redesign an OC tweet. I already showed the sketch here. I took it many steps further into a full-fledged painting 0.0

B4 I actually added any color, I had to research + test out which black inks can cover shiny metallic watercolors well. The answer + winner was the Speedball *reads bottle* super black pigmented acrylic ink. (Acrylic, huh? Interesting)

The next part was testing out the various dip pen nibs I already own. My go-to is the *reads nib* Hunt No.512 EX-Fine. The hardest part of inking/linearting with a dip pen is going over a previous line but ends up scratching it, or worse, when it doesn't flow or it needs to be dipped again. That was a struggle for reapplying the lineart after coloring. I outline the sketch so I know where to color, + then (heavily) reapply the ink to make it pop out. It worked :P

The fun part b4 coloring was actually painting the whole figure with holographic glitter X3 (specifically, Ugly Holo by iuilewatercolors)

The hair had to be specific with the colors as well as how I was approaching it. Took me 6 tries + a small-scale test to find what in looking for + satisfied with.

1. Imperial Blue by cactusikart_colors for the base color

2. No. 191 by iuilewatercolors for the color-changing tips of the hair

3. X-mas Blue by iuilewatercolors for the 1st layer of hair shine

4. Sondheim by reneeissancecolours for the 2nd layer of hair shine

5. Permafrost by stayceeillustrations for the highlight + brightest part of the hair shine

Inner ears were "Prism" + gold parts were "Golden Leaves" by lisilinka X)

I repeated the process for the tail but wanted to add more... texture? Fluff? The tail was definitely satisfying + the best part X3

The bottom was tricky, I admit, bcuz I didn't want to make it the same color as the tail. Solution: mix a variety of blues + a black in a porcelain plate + hoped for the best. I actually screwed up a couple times with the coloring of the pants. Luckily the shading helped separate the tail + the pants. That saved my life X)

Favorite part of the boots were those black shines. Its stands out in the light. Its reminiscent to something I used to do. It's a nice touch :)

I kept retouching the belt buckles multiple times bcuz I kept accidentally adding too much paint.

The bandana's color was a tough choice between this beige color + a red color. Sure the red would've popped out but I felt like it didnt suit him. Ultimately, I chose beige for a better reason: one of Zane's inspirations was Sonic (+ Tidus + Goku), right? He wears a bandana (or scarf?) in Sonic Boom. It worked out nicely X) I'm proud of that decision.

The "super sash" feels like a miss. Either could've done without it or change the color to black? Idk but something feels off about it.

The glow-in-the-dark stars (+ moon) was a perfect edition to the piece X3 1 or 2 good coats of that under the light 1st + then in the dark worked so well. I was astonished when I found out how well it worked. Makes me wonder... (Perla dont go there, Perla dont go there).

The multiple color-changing stars were a last minute decision. I orginally was gonna do 3 different color-changing paints but went overboard with *counts* 15. Oops. Thankfully its not too noticeable from far away + away from the light. This is kinda what I get for wanting more color.

Overall, I'm glad I did this as a last hurrah b4 I start animating again. Gotta shift my focus. I'd like to say thank you for letting me make a 2nd fabulous fanart of this OC (1st was back in 2017). I plan to send this sometime this weekend or next week. But for now, victory!

Yep!
