“And There Sat the Black Cat” 8x10, prisma color pencils and illustration board.
For my studio course this semester I had to make two series of three drawings. For my second series, I chose to draw humanized characters from Edgar Allen Poe works.
This is the last piece, an attempt at depicting Pluto, the black cat from The Black Cat!
Decided to draw my fav characters from Wuwa so far!
I love Jiyan but my gosh is this man's hair hard to draw 😭😭
Hope you don't mind me answering this over here rather than my fandom blog! Wanted to draw a mer!Thorne design in response ^^
To answer your question- my first thought was immediately that Thorne would be a shark mermaid! (and more specifically, a Great White Shark). Making her one of the ocean's notable hunters seemed fitting.
There's not a whole lot of species specific notes for the design itself to be made- her tail moves side to side like most non-mammal aquatic creatures, and is countershaded (not seen here but the dark coloring stretches across her back and starts fading just as it gets to her neck). I don't know if the gills should logically be on her neck instead, but I really, really love torso/chest gills. And ofc she got the teeth and a big ol dorsal fin on her back.
She still gets into a lot of fights and trouble as a mermaid, so her tail is covered in additional scars. How many of these are from humans/fellow mermaids and how many are from sea creatures? idk lol. I just know the sharp teeth definitely make her more of a menace.
But ye that's about it. Thanks a whole lot for the ask @rainbowprisimatic!! <3 It was super fun getting to draw Thorne as a mermaid lol.
Decided to revisit some old, retired ocs of mine since I've been redrawing old art lately
These are characters from a story I used to call "Entity" <3 It got dropped because I started obsessing over "Death Omens" instead, which is something I did a lot back then 😅 Still think about these guys sometimes though.
people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry
A drawing of China Sorrows, as requested by @nicstylus! I hope I did Ms. Sorrows justice.
(Bonus highlighted sigil version below the cut ^^)
Another redraw of my old art! Left to Right, 2024 vs 2021
Also posting this drawing of Thorne separately because I like it a lot <3
