Celestial Melody - Subject: Polaris (OC)

"There is no such beauty as where you belong, Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home."

447.6 Light-years away, in the vastness of space, one lone deity sings a song for you and me.

Krita Test 3 (skipped 2 & 2.5)


If you were wondering where the quote came from, it's from this beautiful short choir song titled "The Road Home"

Give it a listen if you'd like! It was this song and other fantasy ones that really fuelled this piece, and I consider it Polaris' unofficial theme of sorts because the lyrics fit quite well.

Also, this is the first time I've shown Polaris here! It's an unofficial debut though, their design is still in progress. Look out for a ref sheet one day

Fun stuff I tested:

- Layering gradient maps on each other

- wet paint brush??

also, I tried drawing long flowy hair for once, I think it looks better than I thought, but I don't understand how to draw ribbons so it could be better ;w;

(these are just personal notes)

(1st of the year!)

I've been dabbling in this artstyle more these days. I hope to improve my skills in portraying characters properly + drawing scenery this year.

While Unitas is all frowns and serious business, Aeterna is...whimsical. Silly, even. Don't let that fool you.

(Life update: I've taken to reading books again, and I'm trying to exercise more frequently. Life is starting to feel more balanced again.)

Batch Drop of the remaining Artfight Attacks I hadn't posted yet.

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with what I managed to achieve in a month, especially with the comics and character interactions. + I improved drawing on mobile, which is nice!

2 Attacks: https://artfight.net/~Swiftdoodlez + https://artfight.net/~ZeeXe and: https://artfight.net/~saop

The first of which took around a week or more, the other only a couple of days. I need to practice effectively placing values...

Artfight Attack for: https://artfight.net/~Leafgale

As you know, I'm not typically drawing on mobile. But nothing is stopping me from trying to improve! Really wanted to draw him last year but ran outta time.

something a little different, special gift for someone ๐Ÿ‘ป

I'm participating in Artfight 2025!

Like last year, I'll try to return every attack with equal or higher quality.

It'll take some time for me to get everything back up and running on GJ. Thank you for your endless patience!
