☽ Moving News ☾

Hello!

After much deliberation I have decided to move accounts. An in depth explanation can be found here. Long story short, this is a side blog. With art becomes a more serious aspect of my life I want to have a true full blog for my work. 

So I'm moving to a new domain! Nothing is getting delated or removed, I just simply will not post here anymore. 

Find me at: TheAtomicMagicalGirl for all new art!

Spider-Man: No Way Home made me so nostalgic for my high school days, obsessing over Spider-Gwen.

It was that initial volume (along with Young Avengers) that got me into comic books.

☆ Electric Android: Magical Girl Juno ☆

I am bursting at the seams to write out all the ideas I have for this lady’s story. Her shawl, skirt, and other glowy aspects are made of a adaptive “hard light”. Don’t think about it too hard, It’s sci fi. Her design is based on mid-century anime, 1950s fashion, and miller moths. 

It took forever for me to finish these images as I could not decide on a background. I’m in a bit of a rut on how to make my “character design” work look interesting. Look better as full images rather than just design's. Alas, something to work towards in the future. 

Oh I also have a bonus “mode” she can adapt too. Cyberpunk intrigue indeed!

After much work I am very happy to announce I have an online shop! 

MoonLiner Lexicon, a store specializing in handmade paper goods and mid century inspired artworks.

☆☽ A thank you and an update ☾ ☆

Hello!

I want to open by thanking anyone and everyone who has looked at my art this year. I was never expecting such a positive reception to my Monster High work and I'm elated people actually like them. I’m beyond amazed by the positive feedback on any of my art. 

I’ve seen so many amazingly kind responses and I wish I could reply to them all. However, due to this being a side blog I can’t do quite that. 

I made this blog in 2017, as a side blog to my personal. Which honestly was a mistake as I do not have the level of control here that would now be ideal. Younger me should have futureproofed more, but she didn't, so here we are. I’m not quite sure what the solution is, but I’m figuring it out. I’m still gonna post my random drawings here. Yet if anything goes temporarily haywire. Well, you now know what's happening. 

The most important take away from this text jumble is just a big and sincere thank you. I have seen the wonderful tags and comments you've all left and I appreciate every single one of them. 

☆☽ Thank you all so, so much! ☾ ☆

Monster High Lagoona Blue : 2021 Edition

-

After a mini hiatus doing other art, I am back in the Monster High Zone. 

A small recap on these illustrations as its been a hot minute. These designs are based mostly on the Monster High books, with some details of the dolls. All mixed together into a hypothetical pitch for a teen drama-esc reboot. 

Laguna was a nice opportunity to explore more athleisure or casual clothing. At lest compared to the fashion of her friends. Plus curly mermaid hair. All ways a plus.

FarSea (Adventure, released 1994)

Henrietta Vivian. One of the many playable protagonists. A cleric of unusual powers devoted to the lifeblood of mortals on the unseen waters of the FarSea

Faux point-and-click adventure game screenshot of my current D&D character  Henrietta Vivian, a Drow Cleric of blood. She is far less scary than she looks and mostly just moms the entire crew.

I also have a non CRTV-ed variant with more accurate colors.

It’s time for a new social media Icon!

A refreshed Ida and introducing a new gal, Francis! She's the face of my online store that hopefully(?) I will be launching soon!

One day I’ll have a whole army of space themed magical girls.

Concept art for a new project! Perhaps she looks similar to something else I've drawn in some way? Hmm..

Older Diona.

I can’t wait till this girl is old enough to cause even more havoc on the Mondstadt Wine industry.

Sabrina “The Teenage Witch” Spellman: 2021 Redraw

I sorta deiced on a whim this would be an annual tradition now. I’m very happy with my improvements (especially in facial proportions. 2018 you ok?), but also my speed. It would just take me so agonizingly long to get any illustration done. Nothing would kill my moral like a glacial pace.

The Princess of the Abyss

-

No shade to Aether, but if my player controlled Lumine became the princess of the abyss order she would have the good taste to fully embrace the goth space aesthetic. 

Different versions and close ups under the cut!

Monster High Draculaura: 2021 Edition 

-

So hey uh, Monster High started trending again. How about that?

I wanted to give Laura (her name in the books) a mix of cute pastel fashion and gothic grudge inspired looks. What teen doesn’t want to be soft and cute and cool and edgy at the same time? That’s honestly Monster High to its core.

I also hope you all like pink. I promise you, I tried to bring in as much secondary colors as I could but the draw of rose tones is too strong.

Monster High Clawdeen Wolf : 2021 Editon

-

Sooo my last “2021 redesigns of Monster High inspired by the book series and my own aesthetic whims” went over rather well. So now it’s a series.

So next up Claudine (how her name is spelled in the books)!

I knew she was gonna be the hardest from the start. Claudine is fashionable in a modern, cool way, and I only dress in anachronistic vintage clothing so it was a struggle.

Thus I stuck closer to her doll designs. I also think her dolls had some of the most amazing outfits so you must indulge me.

Monster High Frankie Stein: 2021 Edition

-

All right, so stay with me here.

Did anyone else read the Monster High novels? No? Well I did. Those things were foundational to my childhood.

I’ve seen so many amazing modern day updates to the original dolls I thought: “hey, I should design a 2021 update to the book versions of the cast”

And you know, one thing lead to another and it kinda spiraled into an entire Monster High AU. Like you do.

I’m still unsatisfied with my Ballet Magical Girl designs I posted earlier this year. Anyway, that’s the explanation for trying a deeper, darker color palette for my OC Meg.

New palette on the top, old on the bottom.

[the-atomic-art-archive]

I meant for this to have some dark natural lighting. Something akin to a dark forest with a lot of browns and greens.

But then neon lighting happened and didn’t stop happening.
