All geared up ( Inks )

Helena and her team is ready to go for their next mission; mapping out the underwater ruins of a recently discovered site; the waters are shallow and relatively safe, but the thick cover of sand will make their job tricky. Nothing her team could handle, though!

- the vote eventually went in favour of her white-black wetsuit; will go with that! -

Been chipping away from these inks every eve after work for a little time now; been helpful to give back some art-mojo and confidence. No...

Chilling

Elise felt like unwinding a little at home, but it was a bit too chilly to wear her favourite suit itself; nothing a warm sweater and a cup of hot chocolate can't fix!

Little vent/warmup pic to summon the art mojo.

Hope you'll like et!

Autumn Elise

Been ages since I last drew Elise in casual clothes! With my favourite season rolling in, I thought I should draw her posing for one of Aahnaye's snapshots during one of their afternoon walks!

Took me much longer to nail the pose or even the general idea; having issues with mojo and art focus again >.<

Though, I'm happy how she turned out despite the troublesome first steps

Hope you will enjoy it!

Odraani Trooper

Been ages since I last drew some Odraani soldiers in gear! Thought I should change it up .3.

The gal here is your average trooper, with a standad kit and a short range coligun to wreck stuff.

Feeling a bit more positive with arts now, hoping the mojo is slowly returning!

Chill Dip

Felt like drawing some trash, so here et es!

Was a ton of fun though

SharKommando ( Inks )

Had to give into that urge to do complex backgrounds, especially a good old industrial setting. Was a ton of fun to work on these, even with some redos and messing around with the railings and that darn staircase <.>

Hope you enjoy <3

Suggestion Thread!

 Hey everyone!

Go suggest ideas, situations, interactions and such! Could be with Elise, Aahnaye, Helena, Tia,  a mix of them or some random chara! .3. 

Can be set in the 'real' world, or a fantasy, sci-fi setting, something totally different from my usual stuff!

Go ahead and suggest multiple times if you have more ideas in mind!

I'll pick the ones I really like and develop it into a sketch like the ones I shared before, and the ones I especially love; a...

Elise Diving ( Inks )

Had a bit urge to do a more detailed Elise piece and thought about drawing her scuba diving ... haven't actually thought about that she should be visiting underwater, so feel free to suggest locations! <3

Will tweak line weights and details, but hope you guys like her so far!

<3

Rubberelise

Still feeling down, though more like numb ... though to draw a bit of a selfish guilty pleasure of drawing Elise in her new silver rubber catsuit. :_D

Was mega fun, been itching to dress Elise into some rubber again .w.

Hope you guys will enjoy <3

Moody Elise

Had a bit of rough week, especially towards the end, so this is sort of a vent/unwinding piece.

Hope you guys will love it despite the simplicity

<3

Quartermaster Helena

The finished picture of Helena during her Odraani years. The role of a quartermaster was often looked down upon by the out of touch senior officers, but it was a sought after position within the army. It's a key role to make good connections, collect favours, make a side gig by selling some of the stock or just simply blackmailing other corrupt quartermasters.

While Helena herself was done for a while now, I've put her on the backburner for a little till I get some other arts done; I ev...

Badelise

Another Patron suggestion sketch! Crossover themed arts with Elise ;w;

Not totes evil though, just loves playing as one! Over time she got her hands on some vintage gear and put together the kit closest resembling what Helena's henchmen were wearing in the movies! ... and a plastic gun.

Elise and Aahnaye had a rad day shooting pics at the shore that day!

Hope you enjoys! <3 

Patron Suggestion: Scalie Caster

Lizard Wizard would have been the best pun, but that boat has sailed when I made Helena a snake

But here she is!  I loved the suggestion for Helena as a mage for hire! Insta fav .w.

Had some thoughts on what kind of magic she'd be using, but giver her Odraani relation, I went with poison or corrosive spells that ruins weapons and armour .3. + some bottles of acid to be thrown at her foes.

Will chip away from the other suggestions over the week! .3.

...

Suggestion Thread!

Hey everyone!

Decided to do something little different this time! I've been eyeing with a full proper suggestion thread here, but was been too busy to hold one .3.

Go suggest ideas, situations, interactions and such! Could be with Elise, Aahnaye, Helena,  a mix of them or some random chara! .3. Can be set in the 'real' world, or a fantasy, sci-fi setting, something totally different from my usual stuff!

Go ahead and suggest multiple times if you have more ideas in mind!...

MAY Q&A

Hai!

Here are the answers for the Second Q&A, focusing on Elise, Aahnaye!

Because of the lovely questions and the long, inactive times this summer, I decided to answer six instead of four this time to make up for it. Hope you enjoy these answers!  

Thank you guys for the incredible amount of support and kind words, you are awesomes! <3 

Thank you tons for asking away!!

Exploring the new site

Helena went on a dive to get a closer look at a recently discovered Jalla ruin. This new site is in remarkably good shape, with surface layer being relatively intact .. 

Time is short,  other treasure hunters will arrive in days: it is important to secure the ruin for the Odraani excavation team.

..

Really needed to work something BG heavy! I love thigh-up pictures, but nothing beats a full body environmental pic! Had a blast doing the ruins, which gave back some a...

Important(ish) Poll

Last eve I got an idea for this pic, that maybe I could go with Helena's white-black suit instead of the black-maroon. .o.

What do you guys think? 

Cheeky Snek

Had a super rough start for the week, with job related stresses, getting a lil ill and brain chemicals acting up. Still feeling icky, but hey,

Took the day off, but spent it mostly working on comms, the Q&A (getting there  <.> ) and to cap the day, this Helena sketch

I needed my dose of snek, booty and scuba gear. Hope ya enjoy et!

Odraani Answers! (Mostly out of date now)

Here are the answers! They are quite lengthy, but tried to cover the questions of similar topics together!

What is the Odranni homeworld like? What is it called? What biomes are most prominent? Is there anything special about it such as the amount on continents it has?

Any recommendations for sightseeing on the homeworld?

Setten is located in a binary star system, relatively close...

SharKommandó ( sketch )

Been having a tiring week, with the hot, humid air and work stuff, so to help me warm up for arts, I've chipped away from a Tia sketch each eve! Here she es!

Man, been years since I last drew my dieselpunk shark-gal Tia! ;w; Missed Shark Week, but it sure did inspire me to dust her off ;w;

*flails*

Odraani QnA update!

Thank you guys for all the questions! <3

For some reason I didn't expect so many in-depth questions, so instead of answering each of them one at the time, I'll sort them out and write up a longer answer for every group!

Will be a longer read, and should be done in a day or two! :D

Thank you guys again! It was a ton of fun to brainstorm over them! .w.  

Winter Dip ( sketch )

Sketched up the drysuit-themed Elise pic you voted for! I admit I mega love this gear, with the bulky suit and stuff, not mention the cooooold .w.

As soon as I finish the QnA pics, I'll jump into finishing this one!

Hope you guys will like it!

Ask about the Odraani!

Had a fun idea the other day, namely to have some sort of Q&A session about the Odraani in general!

If you'd like to know, just ask! Think it's a nice way to expand the universe and get to know it a little better, as most of the info are thrown about all over the web in little portions accompanying the uploads .3.

You can ask multiple times, but keep in mind that unlike the Elise Q&A thread, the answers will be text only!

Ask away! :D

Helena Update #2

She has colours and shading nao! Next step will be the background colours and final touches. .3.

Honestly it's been really fun to work on this, with a nice combo of Helena/Odraani and fully rendered arts! 

Hope you enjoy these smaller updates! ;w;

Theme vote result + Small update!

I'm suuuuper behind with the QnA pics, but I finally got the mojo to carry on working on it with hopefully fun answered and arts!

Thank you for all the votes on the theme about the next Elise pic, the winner will be a Drysuit-themed pic! Some ice diving will be a nice reprise from all this heat, am I right? .w.

(The other suggestions were fun, and got me thinking on more ideas!) 

This month has been super tiring and trying with all the project switching and task-jugglin...

Elise picture theme?

Somewhat indecisive what should I draw for bigger Elise picture next, so I turn to you guys!  <3

What do you reckon? .3.

(First poll! :D)

Helena Update

Been chipping away from her lines as warm-ups after work, hoping to finish her soons!

Quartermaster Helena

Helena's earlier years, back  when she was an Odraani Lieutenant, serving as the quartermaster at a garrison on Nitov III. 

 Been feeling more art mojo flowing lately, and made this sketch to warm up for me comms. .w.

Thank you guys for being so supportive and patient! <3

Tracy

Arts for the second winner of the raffle I held a little back!

Sadly I was struggling with arts-motivations so I've finishing her inks on hold till I got a bit more mojo back. Thank yous for being patient! <3

 Hope you'll like eet! <3  

Capo D'Acqua

Still feeling blue, but wanted to keep on arting nonetheless in hopes I won't get rusty and that it could help me get my arting energies backk.

After countless redos, scrappings and such, it's finally done! This one was one of the pics I -had- to finish, and just couldn't can it for good, which would have made more sense. All the previous versions were victims of the constant changes within Elise's scuba gear, general looks, my style and so on ...

But still, glad I managed to sett...
