Soul Types

So I have been trying for a very long time to figure out how best to introduce new mechanics in the story. For the most part, I think I'm doing pretty good, but I kinda wanted to make some "lore pages" that specifically discuss certain subjects.

Do you need to read them for the story to make sense? Nope! They are their own supplemental thing. They may improve your knowledge of the world the story takes place, but they aren't in any way mandatory.

Devil's Spark

Wow, I'm not used to doing such intense light sources, but I am happy with how this came out. This specific shot is from EP 12, so she's dirty, bruised, bleeding, and pissed as all hell. XD

Esther The Witch for MrMopp (GIFT)

A gift to a friend on Deviant Art. This is their wulver OC named Esther.

Breach Hopper

This is a gesture for a ref sheet I haven't finished yet, but I thought it would be cool to have the more expressive gestures like this as their own thing too so that I can just go all out on the lighting and such.


I am so happy to be at a point in the story where you guys get to witness this guy. Writing him is so fun, and I can't wait to get more of him on the page for all of you. ^.^

I think I literally re-draw these characters every year or so, lol I do it just because I know I can improve their designs so much, but it also means there are still characters I haven't even gotten to. So many get to the sketch stage and then because line art takes me so long, and I feel like I need to get ...

Jacqueline's Room

So this is the interior of Jacqueline's room. I choose her room because it's incredibly hard to describe in words. The 3 windows would be right where the "camera" is.


Rooms are so incredibly hard to draw oh my god. What I have done is really rough but it looks good for a concept and someone who is out of their element a bit here lol

Harpies of Pride

Someone made a comment about the harpies being a good possible gay icon since they are naturally lesbian. I know they meant in the story, but I just got this cool idea of two of them showing off the lesbian flag. I ended up adding 7 other flags because then I was thinking how cool they would look on a shirt.

Yeah, if you guys know my inspirations behind Wolf of Penumbra then you can probably guess what this guy is for. ;)

Dustin (Ref)

At first, I wanted Dustin to look kinda plain, like an average Joe, but I think I hit that nail a little too hard on the head originally. XD


Well, I let myself lean more into his interests and background, as well as his physical state. He is the least fit out of the trio, and I wanted to show that in a few ways. He's younger, skinnier, shorter, has worse off mental health, a stutter, etc. Yet he's still able to keep up with a werewolf. ^.^


Also notice how I d...

Ratchet and Spoil (Ref)

Here is a character I'm really excited to show off. He is part of the new wash of updates--specifically episode 6. :) I made this a gif because I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted the ref with or without the jacket, so screw it I'll include both!

Character Height Chart (WIP)

There are a lot of characters I want on here but just don't have finished. I'll probably just add them later or even make more charts because this one is already huge.

Here's the new ref for Harley. I've noticed how little I've posted art of the boys, there's literally just the ref sheets here. I have so many sketches but the events they portray haven't happened yet so I've gotta get on that XD it's also why you only get his 1 image here. The turnaround and gesture refs will come in due time.

WOP: Jacqueline (Gesture Ref)

Again, trying to make more expressive references and get better at the human form in general.

View Post

WOP: Jacqueline (Turn Ref)

Ok, these take forever to do. Not only does everything need to be lined up perfectly but the way I make them every article of clothing and such is its own layer. She's like a paper doll type thing because I want to use these to show of alt outfits and such too but wow lol it soaks up soo much time. I am proud of them though because it did force me to think about my characters from angles I normally don't and for the sake of consistency I really needed to do this anyway lol

WOP: Jody (Turn Ref)

A more technical ref. I'm trying to get myself better at human characters all around, thus the turnaround ref lol

View Post

Jody (Gesture Ref)

So yeah I've been playing with character designs and pushing proportions. I often run into the habit of "that's anatomically incorrect so don't do that," when honestly a little inaccuracy looks better to me. For example the human foot is roughly the length of the forearm but here with Jody I made her feet tiny because it helps with the childish look of a 12 year old girl.

I want to try and do more of these expression sheets that show character rather than little segments that point it ...

UPDATE To Bestiary Sheets

I'm updating the bestiary sheets. I've just made the presentation a bit cleaner and added a little bit more from my personal notes. The old sheets will be moved to the Cannon? folder because they are technically no longer relevant.

I'll get to posting those in a second. :)

Also STILL WORKING ON EP 11&12!

Bestiary Height Chart (WIP)

I decided to add a height chart for all the Umbral beasts in the story thus far. This will grow over time as more creatures are introduced. I'm probably going to have to make a couple of these over time due to the amount of creatures  and their sizes.

View Post

Stillmore Map (WIP)

I make maps and house plans and such to help me remember where things are at when writing. A lot of them aren't the most aesthetically pleasing because they are just tools, but hey if you're interested in this type of thing then here ya go. Lol


The blocks are essentially property zones, they aren't the buildings themselves. The discolored areas on the edges of the sectors are where boarder curfew effects.

The RustReaper is a "Mind-Frame" a mech essentially. Mind-Frames are a new technology created and developed by the UEA for the purpose of catching or neutralizing Umbral creatures.

Ep 10 Update & Tiers

Yup, it's taking quite a while. This is why I said try for 1 ep a month instead of promising. While I hate that I'm making people wait I just need to get it to a point I'm happy with it. I have also fallen into the trap of working on 2 eps at the same time again. And since ep11-12 are a 2 parter the work has been all over the place. Progress is being made tho! Sorry but I hope you all understand.

ALSO I've updated some of the tiers. As a benefit for ALPHA I have included the future "aud...

Sparks and Shadows

Oh man, I have been so sick lately. Sorry about the inactivity I'm still trying to pick up the pace, I've got tones of things that need to be done. I've had this piece technically done for a while now, it just needed the background and glows.


(I'm still working on ep 10 btw.)
