I’m trying to get back to my oc roots, so from my original concept, I’m doing kind of a “where would the Savent agents be if they never joined Savent?” First is Poppy, who is the most brutal of Savent agents due to his past of killing his parents in a fit of rage. He would have still done that and sought out refuge in his church. But this version of Poppy would repent for his sins, eventually rid himself of his curse, and try to atone in other ways. Rather than sinking into self-loathing, he would find that his parents always wanted the best for him and would want him to turn his life around. So he would instead focus on his passion for music and eventually make a name for himself. This Poppy would travel the world, not as a world organization agent with a dark past and with hopes for peace, but as a star with songs about the highs and lows of life, creating a refuge for others through music.

Finally here with something I drew. Tumblr is seeing it first because I know Instagram will be wack.

I’ve been trying to experiment with new techniques, new coloring, new pencils, so on. So I used a reference to give it a better try so I can compare my drawing to something tangible.

So my reference was this picture of Jihyo from TWICE, aka the goddess herself who I can’t do justice to. (She’s my bias so fight me)

I took just the upper bust part of this picture and tried some new shading and lining. I still have improving to do but it was nice to try something new and learn a bit along the way.

It’s definitely different from my usual way of lining and coloring. I used completely different brushes than I usually do. It looks more lifelike than my usual works but it also took quite a bit of time. It could be because I was taking inspiration from a reference, but I think the quality is better.

(Btw stream “ZONE” her first solo album, I love it)

So I drew something finally.

Kanade is my main girl in Project SEKAI next to Saki 🥹 Please show this some love, Instagram flopped yet again. It’s so sad to try and post anything there anymore.

Also I’m gonna try to add the speed paint here too.

[demidrip]

So I’m mildly back. I kinda disappeared but I just haven’t been very inspired to draw lately. I’ve had some stuff going on and it’s just stressful.

I plan to have some different content soon. By different, I mean fanart. I have been playing a lot of Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage to where I have some stuff I wanna draw. I used to play Love Live! all the time and would draw character cards or my oc’s in outfits from the game, and I plan to do something similar.

Not sure if the PSCS fandom has headcanon lores or au’s buuuut I have some of those too.

I know Vocaloid is cringe to some but I don’t even care. I still love Vocaloids, Gumi will always be my girl, end of discussion.

<3

Gonna double post today from my backlog.

Yeah I drew Felix from Stray Kids. 🫰🏻

Yeah it doesn’t fit in my theme. 😡

What are you gonna do about it? 😤

👉🏻👈🏻

Hopefully like it 💕

Time for a snippet of the family tree 👀

⚠️ TW for blood, mentions of eating flesh, eye body horror, and sexual themes ⚠️

Okay for the rest of you cursed people who wanna see my disgusting kids.

These three goons are Lucius’ half siblings, Alaz, Beatrice, and Xavier. Alaz and Beatrice look like these could be twins, but are actually more complicated than that. Xavier is the eldest and was the one that was experimented on the most.

Xavier is 28 years old and is the oldest out of the demon kids. There were more siblings originally but Xavier has since killed most of them off for getting on his bad side. When he was a kid, his father experimented on him just like he would do to his other siblings. His original wings as a nephilim were cut off. His eyes were taken out and through them, his father stuffed various demonic souls into Xavier, where they pushed through as the eyes and mouth on his body. As a child, they used to scare and bully him until he learned to talk back to the demons inside him. Now, he uses them as a means of attack. Hiding from Xavier is futile and the mouths are skilled in tearing apart a body. However, he has to get in close and his sense of hearing was not amplified after losing his eyes, so he can be distracted by noises.

He works under his father to play his role in destroying life on Earth to bring about a revival of a new civilization. He hates working with his other siblings and is most likely to rebel to Lucius’ side. However, the trauma he dealt with as a child keeps him loyal to his father.

Next is Alaz, who is an unfortunate soul given the fact that his soul was forcibly split into two. Alaz was born 3 years after Xavier and was also experimented on at a very young age. His father wanted to test a theory that young souls were more malleable and therefore could be split into two people. After cutting off Alaz’s original wings as well, his soul was split into two different beings, which was an extremely painful process. This division allowed Beatrice to take shape as the other half of Alaz’s soul. However, in order to keep her physical body, Alaz must consume the flesh of one person a day, otherwise Beatrice will lose her form and be nothing more than a puddle of blood, as she can never return to the other half of Alaz.

Alaz has no feminine qualities to him, just as Beatrice has no masculine qualities. Because of this, Beatrice is very sexual in order to lure in victims. While Alaz eats humans in order to keep Beatrice alive, Beatrice kills to harvest blood that is used to build weaponry in Hell. Both serve under Markus and are very loyal to him due to their soul splitting having made both very aggressive and cold towards humans, to a point of having killed their own mother in order to be free to serve Markus and Hell completely.

All three have teamed up against Lucius in order to carry out the plans of their father. All four siblings don’t know much about one another, and all of them meeting isn’t exactly the family reunion Lucius wants to have…

Some summer vibes ☀️

I did a different shading method than usual and just used flats instead of an airbrush and colored the inside line art. I think it looks honestly better this way but I always take different opinions.

Welcome to the Show, Here’s My About Me

I go by Demi on all platforms. Full users are Demidrip or Demi of Uranus.

I’m 24, of Japanese descent, and have aphantasia (mind blindness). I’m also a psychology student with aims to be a therapist.

I love Sailor Moon, Vocaloid, and K-Pop. Before anyone asks, my favorite Sailor Scout is Uranus, favorite Vocaloids are IA and Rin, favorite Utauloid is Ruko Yokune, and my K-Pop groups of high choice are SHINee, Stray Kids, and Twice, and soloist is AleXa.

I’m primarily an oc artist, but I do occasional fanart or draw other’s ocs that I like. I do commissions so dm for info on that.

I reblog other artists but mainly use this blog to post original content, admin notes, stories, etc.

I try to stay active but sometimes I get busy with work and will disappear. Please keep in mind that I work a full time job when interacting in messages.

My other main platform is Instagram, where I’m @/demidrip but I’m mostly here now due to its shit algorithm there.

Please feel free to message to art trade, collab, chat, etc.

If you’re looking for oc content, I’ll be tagging it under #demidripocs from here on!

A “Guide” to working with Artists with Aphantasia

Keep reading

[demidrip]

Let me take a minute and teach about a lil something called

✨Aphantasia✨

Let’s use this as an example:

Most people I’ve shown this to can see number 6. I can only experience number 1. Aphantasia is essentially blindness in the mind’s eye, where you can’t “picture yourself on the beach”. For me, I can’t see what I try to imagine, nor can I feel a sensation unless it happens, taste something unless I’m eating it, or hear a song in my head unless it’s already playing.

My aphantasia plays into my art a lot. I can build figures like how others can, with shapes or base ideas to grow from. Unless I have a visual reference to look at, I struggle to make a figure. It changes how I draw. While I can come up with concepts, I can’t plan them out the same way, I have to start executing them in order to get an idea of how it’ll end up looking.

I do redraws a lot to sharpen skills based on something I’ve already done.

The left was an aphantasia drawing I did last year, the right is a redraw.

Because of my aphantasia, I tend to beat myself up over not getting my art to progress like others. But it’s also been important to learn about so I know where my struggles start and can look to other aphant artists to see how they combat it.

If you’re an aphant artist, tell me how you combat the struggles of drawing. I’m always looking for new ways to make it easier 🫰🏻

[demidrip]

Also I just wanna compare these different versions of Lucius because he is literally the oc I draw all the time.

This was in 2019, when I was first getting into the concept of Lucius having his gallium blood that could be controlled. I still wasn’t confident in his floofy hair.

Which is why at some point in the story it gets chopped off. Rip.

Last year I was thinking of how he would look with his original wings and kind of started thinking of an unhinged version. This wasn’t totally where I wanted to take it.

As I draw him more, I’ve been getting slowly more confident with his big ass hair full of secrets. This one is from earlier in March.

I do think this is one of his best renditions though. This unhinged version just contrasts his normal personality so well and I love all the red basically lmao.

[demidrip]

Some more old art, this time oc related. I have a story I’ve been working on, “Hell Hath No Throne for a Nephilim,” which is Lucius’ story. These are some of the other characters in that story. And I’ll start with Niko.

First up is the love interest 🖤 This is Nikolai, or Niko, and he is 21 at the beginning and 24 by the end. He’s an anthousai, basically a type of a flower nymph. He and Lucius relate to the sentiment of being “hybrids” since his mother is Rhodeia of the Roses, a flower nymph, and his father was human. He is very harsh and blunt, a no bullshit type of guy. But of course he’s got soft spots.

These were his first few designs. At first he was just too emo and Lucius was too hipster. So I made him more…punkish? And of course this man is 🫳✨ ya know?

And like this man loves Lucius, bro.

Like LOVES him.

And you gotta love that for him 💕

[demidrip]

So for a bit I’ll be posting some art I’ve already done so I can share it here too.

The first one being an old Vocaloid drawing I did literally in 2021. This was when Miku Monday was still a big thing, so I did a femboy Miku, because there wasn’t a whole lot of male reimaginings of Miku yet for it. And I reeeeally wanna do the Mikuo redesign challenge that’s going around too.

But for now, here is some old art.

I liked the idea of kind of a cheerleader/varsity design for it to reference back to her arm cuffs, and while there are no twin tails, we do have long hair and cute light blue makeup. I kinda want to do something more with this design too, like draw some interactions, so if anyone has a design and personality they want to drop as kind of a mini collab, drop it and I’ll draw some interactions ✨
