Ethereal Star of the North - Hope

My newest character design!

Hope is a pure-hearted kiddo associated with the North Star, Polaris. He's small, but when he grows up, his celestial light will guide the lost and weary to the path of redemption.


Oh, and here's more info about him if you were curious!

Hope is an incarnation of Polaris, a deity worshipped in the Northern regions, who was sent down to help humanity. Specifically, those who have lost all direction in life and have hardened their hearts. He, as the North Star, seeks to guide them toward a new direction and find their purpose, sparking new hope within them.

At this stage in his life, Hope is a very softhearted and thoughtful child. He wants the best for everyone and can be thought of as a peacekeeper. He's too naive to grasp all the complexities of the world but through his time on the mortal plane, he will come to know the suffering of humanity.

Hope is able to communicate with Polaris and other Gods on the celestial plane. Rather than long drawn-out prayers, however, Hope speaks casually to them like a child talking to their parents.

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.

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!

bunch of oc redesigns to prepare for artfight!

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.)

2 More Attacks, One for: https://artfight.net/~Melloobee and the other for @Hiiexist

I want to improve my visual storytelling skills. That means a whole lotta character interactions, and comics are one way to do it.

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!
