almost a whole month late to end roll's anniversary, BUT!!! i finally finished a video with my russell mmd model!!!

mmd russell says hi <3 i really went from trying for a serious video, to specialist just cause i was struggling a little bit with the stress over my initial anniversary deadline 😭

sleepy cuddles 💤

HEHE HAHA HUHU HOHOHOHO!!!!!!

(my first attempt at an mmd animation ever. models are also by me ofc 🤭)

[solaestial]

dragon age AU chris and russell 💪

more AU concepts from a while back that i've finally touched up enough to post!! chris' outfit is just a mix of the da2 warrior and rogue grey warden armors, but russell's i designed more properly, based on the datv crow armor aesthetics (the mask shape is pretty much just the corvid calling mask in the game tho)

anyway. i realise there's probably like. zero overlap between the fandoms other than me, but it's a franchise and universe very dear to me, so ofc i couldn't help it still ehe.... sorry for all the lore stuff that's unexplained for anyone unfamiliar 😭 got a little on my twt here tho

for the townspeople: leaning towards human for tabasa?? gardenia for sure a human noble. dogma a chantry priest, with cody similarly associated. kantera a dalish elf who left his clan, mireille as an elven servant, and yumi a city guard 🫡

bonus little comic doodle from way back with russell and raymond:

chrissell genshin au!!

i touched up my designs that i've had sitting for many months.... genshinroll, if you will 🙏

lots of related yappery below:

post-end roll, but genshinfied 👍 the fatui orchestrated the happy dream experiment after taking russell from the fortress of meropide. russell got his vision alongside his 'success' and it forcefully kept him alive

chris meanwhile being unable to move on after russell's apparent arrest and disappearance, is searching teyvat for him in hopes for answers and closure

i was pretty torn on their vision elements at first. i feel like if we're talking in general, russell has ice vibes throughout most of his story, with a definite touch of fire internally when it comes to his impulses, and then is just purely water energy by the end

BUT for this, i wanted to think of it more in terms of genshin and its general associations with the elements alongside the earning itself of visions, and ended up concluding that cryo is probably best for what i've got going with him here, despite him having gotten his vision only at the end

it's a manifestation of his guilt—the cold biting, while he also wields it as a weapon in this case. he craves the sea, for his sorrow to be washed away, but the waters stay frozen, as his guilt won't allow himself what he yearns. he wants to undo what he did more than anything, but can't. his actions are frozen into time, solid like ice and unmalleable. it's..... kind of glum and depressing really oops 😭

anyway, same reasoning process with chris kinda. at first i'd gone off the vibes and had him as anemo for a WHILE somehow— before realising how wild that is when his whole thing in this au is not being able to move on and be free—which is basically the opposite of anemo—and rather his resolve for finding closure. so now he's hydro, since honestly that seems to fit perfectly meanwhile, and also really doubles down on the water associations between them both LOL (if i ever do change it, it'll be to pyro though almost purely for the perfect healing dynamic of his fire melting russell's ice..... bc dang that's good and actually very tempting for developing the inevitable ship aspect of this au)

chris is an adventurer as of the present here, but might've dabbled into treasure hoarding for a bit first too before his conscience made it too hard. he sends most of what he earns from things to his mom 🥺 💞

WIP TIME because i still don't have much else new to show i've been very busy in blender 😔 working on making...... mmd models.... for almost the past few weeks straight legit sob (although i actually started russell and did the majority of his mesh back in like. august or so last year)

finally started chris just yesterday, and also am hoping to make russell's room to use as a stage in mmd

LASTLY have some of russell dancing to world is mine (because a still shot doesn't really convey how far i've made it with him 😭 )

motion and camera credit: sega, seto, minmode

i mainly plan to make him dance to way more serious things for legit videos BJKSKJSKJSS, but it feels more suitable to show him with something more cute and fun right now

I really like your art, you are one of my favorite End Roll fanartists and you make me consider ChriSsell

And your snipped fangame are adorable, also your Omori x End Roll crossover scritched my need for crossover, thank you.

SOBBING??? this practically made my day to see omg 🥺🥺✨✨ thank youuu for popping in with these kind words!! i'm so glad you've been enjoying my art!!! (and to be spreading the chrissell agenda LET'S GOOOOO. getting others to see their appeal is the biggest honor of all uwu uwu)

[solaestial]

have a pixel russell for your desktop in these trying times (aka i drew a russell shimeji ehee)

DOWNLOAD HERE <3

i put it on ko-fi (fully free ofc) mainly since i wanna be able to easily edit and reupload if there's anything i wanna add or tweak later HAHA, so there's also there's a google drive link in the description there too as an alternative for easier downloading 👍

Aitai no End 🎵

I want to see you. I want to see you, but— You know, I wonder why? The sounds of our hearts don't resonate.

alts w/o the text and frame:

(also since i realised it might be hard to tell at a glance and without my tags, this is fully chrissell art! the original song mv linked uses two gumis, and it fits to me as russell reflecting within himself over chris, with the informant here serving as russell's usual guidance while representing a more straightforward and understanding part of his heart and mind)

happy dream

i finally set up another of my chrissell artworks for wallpaper engine 💪

my original post for the drawing is here. it's still one of my favorites i've done of them :> steam workshop link for using the wallpaper is below:

(update 3/15/2025: changed the default visualizer and added slightly more customization options for them. since i realised the one i had there was a little too distracting for my taste)

some semi-recent maou!russell concept doodles for an AU i've been spinning around in my brain for a while
