#1: Spell - Asra the Magician
Using this inktober to practice my inking, speed, painting and colour sense all at once. It’s really messy in places but I ran out of time. *coughs, embarrassed* (Yes I know it’s INKtober but it’s been a long time since I did some more finished stuff)
This is based off my theory that the Reversed ending is Asra turning into The Magician. Everyone’s dead, his Apprentice lost in the Arcana Realms. There’s only one way to end the plague and join his Apprentice permanently…

2. Journey (left)
Pencil sketch with quick colours. This is the weird place that Asra travelled in the early chapters, but I didn’t draw the beast. The sky and his coat together create eyebleeding contrast. These colors scream Asra all over. XD
3. Rainbow (right)
I wasn’t going to draw my apprentice, but this was perfect for him/her. This is Asra’s apprentice Amie, age 14. Swept by the crowd going to see Princess Nadia, the tiny dude crashed into Asra’s booth, then helped Asra up, picking up The High Priestess that landed onto Asra’s fluffy head when the whole deck went flying. It’s their first meeting, and Asra notices that outside of their ordinary appearance, they have RAINBOW EYES (sectoral heterochromia).

5. Roasted - Asra the Necromancer
“You must’ve been scared… Don’t worry, I’ll have you back soon.”
I’m TOTALLY BEHIND and it’s only a week. *flings self into the void in shame* I need a portable drawing tablet… just borrowed one off my boss. Hopefully things will speed up and increase in quality as well… (yes I know pencil sketches don’t cut it)
With a prompt like Roasted I thought of Lucio at first, but then I turned to MC and that scene where Asra was practicing what seemed like Dark Magic/Necromancy in preparation for the ritual. Ha. Maybe the glowing skull is pieced together bits of the burnt MC. 8D So~ Tadaa! This is born. I LOVE IT. I love creepy Asra. Asra surprises me at every turn. So many sides to him.
Y’know, if Julian hadn’t barged into Asra’s life and basically made his dorky lovable self available to let off steam, I have a feeling Asra could’ve gone down quite another path. Asra needed Julian at that point in his life, even if he doesn’t like to admit it.

7. Exhausted
“After the ritual, you have to get Ilya… and…. that’s all…..”
A soft snore drifts to Muriel’s ears.
How does Asra sleep like that? Muriel doesn’t know either, but he’s sitting VERY STILL because he doesn’t want to wake him. (That said Muriel must be quite comfortable to lean against. I have a big 6 foot friend and boy is he comfy to lean on)
No colour because it’s 4am and my hands are literally shaking so hard I can’t ink the background anymore. I skipped 6. Food (for now) because I didn’t feel comfortable drawing bedroom eyes in the train. Quite pleased with this, I think I’m slowly getting back my old mojo. Drawing tablet surface’s a bit slippery and the software’s got a few weird quirks to get used to, but getting the hang of it as well. Inktober’s working in whipping me into shape! 8D

How to Backup your Tumblr
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.

31 - Halloween
Always felt like Julian would work best as a werewolf. All that angst, can’t be around people during a full moon or he’ll hurt them. Perfect.
Tried a new colour palette. Trying to do finished works with inktober prompts. The challenge is 10x more, but doing finished pieces are kind of what I need to get as a good habit, so challenge it is. Maybe I can’t call it inktober. *laugh*
#the arcana#julian devorak#inktober2018#It’s probably going to take all the way till end of November.

Whew, Inktober really is quite a challenge. I’m still working on the rest of the missing stuff. Hopefully my wrist doesn’t act up too much, I don’t want to get carpal tunnel. x.x

13.Ebony & 30. Another Life
A modern-ish murder mystery AU for The Arcana definitely had to be film noir and Italian mafia. :3
Muriel (Codename: The Boss) The intimidating figure of Boss makes every other family think twice about crossing him. No one outside of the family has seen his face, but they’ve heard of his precognitive decisions... and felt it too.
Nadia (Moon) The real brains of the family. It’s a secret of the family that the Boss is mainly a figurehead except during certain big events... like the murder of a rival family boss sparking a war of vengeance. She is the one who hired the private detective.
Asra (Mercury) The right hand man of Boss. Has another nickname “Quicksilver” for the way he disappears quickly. Some people say he’s an assassin with a kill count of thousands, and others say they saw his supposed victims living a good life in a far off place. No one really knows.
Julian (Neptune) The good doctor who takes care of most injuries of the family members. Half the men and women in the family’s turf seems to have feelings for him at some point. Seems enamored by Mercury.
Lucio: Rival family boss who was murdered. Before he died, he was quite smitten by Moon and often tried to woo her to no avail. He died after meeting her, making her a prime suspect.
MC: Private detective hired to find the real murderer. As the investigation goes on, they realise that some suspects within the family are taking keen personal interest in them...

I was curious how the cast look like in my own artstyle so I sketched Asra on the bus on the way to class (ugh wobbly lines). He’s definitely more androgynous… Not sure if good or bad thing. I’m going to continue using Dana’s style for fanarts tho, since I’m trying to learn that style.
#crosspost#I moved all my Arcana stuff over there btw#so if anyone's following me for arcana stuff you can follow that blog instead#I'll be putting all my arcana fanarts there

Hello, the art in this game is beautiful. Can you give a young artist some hot art tips??
Draw a lot of butts. No, really. Go to figure drawing sessions/workshops/classes as much as you can. I feel I’ve benefitted a LOT from figure drawing, more than any other part of art education (formal or informal), and genuinely find it really fun & relaxing!
And then you might also draw butts for your job someday.
- Dana

Loved Asra’s new look, so tried a rough. That’s the look of surprise I thought would be under the mask when the game first revealed the Masquerade costumes on Asra’s route. *laugh* Imagine MY face when I saw his costume, I was squealing so much. Haven’t loved a character’s design this much in ages, Dana’s art style and design sense is brilliant.
First time trying this colour palette.

My current WIP. The top half is incomplete, I'm still deciding on an owl or a phoenix. This is a strange one... I must confess that there's literally no explanation for this piece other than the fact that "eyyy look I can pixel art!" and I need to relearn a couple of things after a few years. XDXD But yeah, eeeyyy look I can (somewhat) pixel art!
So far there's 76 colours, not too bad considering I've used quite a lot of different greens. Needed to differentiate grass and trees and add some kind of atmospheric depth. Colours still need tweaking, but I'm getting there.
