DotNW Draw-a-thon Days 13, 14, and 15

Finished up some of the bigger plant monsters and a mandragora on the Brute page.

Then I filled in the Decus page with the rest of the party. Athos and Aramis have some complicated designs and I didn't end up doing detail work because Athos feels like he has no neck and Aramis is smushed away in the corner so I'll probably tweak digitally and finish them that way if I end up completing them. Alice came out amazingly, though. Fully from imagination and construction drawing instead of a direct reference study. Very proud of it. Same for Porthos. I think that, especially for the human characters, I might leave more of the underdrawings so I can see what I'm actually doing and learning. I will say that while I still have a lot to learn, especially since I haven't attempted any full body humans other than humanoid monsters, I am still seeing improvement. When finishing the more polished monster designs, I find myself having way better pencil control and I can place and connect lines without doing chicken scratches. I just see the shape I want to make and give it a nice big swoop and the line is right. Hopefully this means my hand and eye are trained a lot better. Good pencil control means being better able to translate what I see onto paper and less revision on designs. Alice is my favorite face so far. Felt at least halfway competent making it. Hopefully I can fix Decus up into something I can be equally proud of.

Winx Yuu and First Years

Grim and Yuu

Grim's favorite transformation of Yuu is Dreamweaver form. He thinks they smell nicer in this form and also fond of the calming aura they exudes.

Grim is actually really careful with Yuu's wings because he likes the fact that the wings change with Yuu's mood. He prefers the happy mood of the wings because they glimmer and shine with different constellations.

Grim occasionally snaps Yuu out of their mediation state especially if they mediate for longer periods of time. He knows they need to train the Lunar Eclipse Form, but he gets lonely whenever Yuu's not sleeping beside him, okay?!

Ace and Yuu

Ace often snaps Yuu out of their own world, reminding them that they can still train with their powers, but to not forget about him and Deuce. He does teased them by poking their forehead which results in a protest from Yuu and a scolding from Riddle if Ace pokes Yuu in front of Riddle.

Ace actually keeps Yuu away from people that can cause them to feel extreme emotions and nightmares. He doesn't let them know that he does it for their own safety, he often leads them away, teasing them for wandering around and getting lost so easily or spending too much time in the library.

Yuu often uses their Stellar Aurora form often, Ace often forgets that they have much stronger forms than just that one. He occasionally examined their wings in awe, watching them shift and change.

If anyone tries to mess with Yuu, Ace is always quick to step in, defending them with his sharp tongue and wit. He might called then "annoying" sometimes, but no one else gets to mess with his friend. Likewise, Yuu stands up for Ace when needed, especially if he's caught in trouble that he didn't deserve.

Deuce and Yuu

Deuce often watches in awe whenever Yuu transforms, he's extra careful with their wings. His hands are extra careful when touching them and tracing the constellations on their wings.

His favorite ability of Yuu's power is Celestial Spark because he and Yuu can combo Caludron with it to blind and stun enemies. It was also used on Ace by accident which made the rest of the first years laugh.

Deuce definitely acts as Yuu's protector whenever there's bright sunlight due to their powers being weaken in day light, so he tries his best to cover their weak spots.

Deuce often talks about Yuu to his mom in his letters, telling her how much Yuu has helped him grow as a person. His mom has become a huge fan of Yuu.

Jack and Yuu

Yuu's number one supporter because he admires Yuu's dedication and determination to learn their new magical powers.

Jack often accompanies Yuu on their stargazing outings, drawn by the serene atmosphere they creates. He secretly enjoys how they narrate the myths behind constellations.

They train together frequently, combining Jack’s physical strength with Yuu’s magical prowess. Jack pushes Yuu to strengthen their endurance, while Yuu teaches him precision techniques involving light-based attacks.

Despite his tough demeanor, Jack is very gentle with Yuu, especially if they're feeling down or overworked. He offers his quiet support by staying by their side.

Epel and Yuu

Epel admires Yuu’s determination to master her cosmic powers, often comparing it to his own struggles to be seen as strong and capable. They hype each other up when facing challenges.

Their playful competition sometimes leads to hilarious mishaps, like when Epel tries to use magic for an orchard task, and Yuu counters with their starlight, resulting in glowing apples.

Yuu often encourages Epel to embrace his versatility, showing him how his delicate artistry and strength are not mutually exclusive. This earns her his deep respect.

The two team up for harmless pranks, like charming objects to float or painting Sebek’s shoes glittery pink. Their pranks often end with Yuu laughing at Epel’s mischievous grin.

Ortho and Yuu

Ortho loves analyzing Yuu’s magic, often asking questions about the mechanics of starlight and dream energy. They enjoyed explaining it in simple yet poetic terms, marveling at his intellectual curiosity.

Yuu admires Ortho’s inventiveness and often asks him to design gadgets inspired by constellations or dreamcatchers. Their collaborative projects strengthen their bond.

Ortho occasionally creates holographic simulations of the cosmos to surprise Yuu, earning their delighted laughter and a heartfelt “thank you, genius.”

He helps Yuu understand the science behind dreams, combining his advanced knowledge with their magic. They bond over their shared curiosity about the universe.

Sebek and Yuu

Sebek initially struggles to understand Yuu’s serene and soft-spoken nature, often mistaking it for weakness. However, he quickly learns to respect her after witnessing their unwavering resolve and the power of their magic.

Yuu finds Sebek’s loud and brash personality amusing, often teasing him lightly in ways that leave him flustered. Over time, they form a strong bond rooted in mutual growth; Sebek learns to temper his volume and pride through Yuu’s influence, while Yuu gains a greater appreciation for his steadfast loyalty and determination.

One day, Yuu conjured an aurora in the night sky just for Sebek, honoring his devotion to Malleus and showing him that their magic could reflect his fiery passion in its own way.

Their shared determination to protect those they care about leads to a begrudging respect. Sebek occasionally softens around them, revealing a surprising gentleness.

Group Dynamics

Despite their contrasting personalities, Yuu and the First Years form a close-knit team. They balance each other’s strengths and weaknesses, making them an unstoppable force.

Late-night hangouts often revolve around Yuu’s magic, where she creates constellations or dreamscapes for her friends. Each of them secretly cherishes these serene moments.

Ace, Grim and Epel constantly bug Yuu about her wings, while Ortho offers to design gadgets to enhance them. Sebek lectures them on respecting “sacred magic.”

I wanted to finish an extra monster but didn't have time.

Decus needs smaller eyes and he's heavily referenced from 2 pieces of official TotRays art, but I'm getting better, I think?

IDK how my hands are this good with just contour drawing, I SWEAR. How did my hands get good and my heads get bad over all these years of NO PRACTICE.

I guess at the end of this, if my faces still suck, I just gotta draw a bunch of bad ones and learn slowly.

Monsters are really fun to draw though. I love the monsters so far.

I'm pretty proud of just filling up the Marta page, honestly. Getting less precious with my old sketchbook but using it to its fullest.

Learning to make art again is hard, but I'm learning bits and pieces of perspective as I go and I'm trying to practice all the skills I lost. Gonna get into some construction anatomy instead of contour drawing and reference-only stuff eventually. But for now, whatever mishmash I'm up to is working.
