well, i guess i’m gonna post some art on this blog too :^0 i was originally going to submit this to @purple-compromise but tumblr, for some reason, only lets you submit one image? which is stupid but, what can you do. anyways!! i stumbled upon this fic again a couple of weeks ago after literal years and fell in love with it all over again and read all 40 chapters in a few days and IMMEDIATELY had the need to draw a lot of art for it as soon as i could, and basically, since i simultaneously got my ankle sprained in the same week, dedicated myself solely to drawing and playing concept artist. also all of this coincided with the fic’s fourth (!!) year anniversary so! i guess this is a sort of late gift!? i have a lot to say about this so let me just sort of throw it under a read more, BUT!!! tl;dr, this fic is amazing and i’m definitely drawing more soon. because it’s the BEST.

OK. THE FIRST ONE. it’s basically the first image that stuck with me because every scene where the specialist is using her shield really screamed “WONDER WOMAN!!” in my brain, mostly because they’re so epic, and i wanted to practice some black and white painting the original screenshot this is based on is this one btw :^D

and now my favorite of all the things i did! a model sheet!! i spent some time figuring out how much i wanted the spesh to look like a mix of me and, well... someone that’s actually capable of doing everything she does in the fic 😂 in the end i guess i found a really nice balance of it. also this is the first study i did

i did a lot of some light stalking on the specialist’s tag to figure out the most, correct/official(?) way of drawing her clothes and the first one is the one i figured was the best, but the second was one i really wanted to draw (the double buttons!! is that what they’re called? i don’t know, i love them) and the third is just some alternative outfit i thought of. specialist cosmetics maybe? the second set is her clothes during the heavy boxing match (i WISH i had those muscles 😩 and i wish i could... draw better muscles)  and the BLU specialist which was originally going to be just a recolor but i remembered a passage where she’s described as a sort of distortedly perfect version of our RED spesh and that image stuck with me so i just. brushed her hair and gave her a bit of a smug expression) the third one is mostly a bonus because, after i rediscovered the fic, i distinctly remembered doing some fanart in 2015 and searched through my old sketchbooks and found her; 2015 specialist in all of her old, weirdly emo? glory!! i don’t know why i thought she looked like... This in my mind back then but i really wanted to redraw her. (why does she have a scarf? what’s up with that weird shapeless blob of a gun?! why did i draw her class badge like That?! did i forget how it looked like when i drew it? was it not a thing yet? who knows! 2015 me, probably)

and the last one is the most recent one of the bunch, and it’s basically a rom-com-ish poster that i had an idea for during one of my “oh my god i can’t sleep because this damn cast is so freaking uncomfortable” sleepless nights also the original idea was. this monstrosity i sketched on my phone

a masterpiece.

i just wanted to draw them having a nice chat maybe after capturing a point. in which map? who knows! certainly not me, but they’re being cute and i wanted to practice drawing medic and some actual painting so this is probably the most doodly of the bunch. (also archimedes on medic’s shoulder was my sister’s idea and i loved it too much not to include it) oh my god i wrote SO MUCH. i hope it’s all coherent, it’s like... 2am  :^P i don’t know how to finish this so uh... thank you so much for this fic purple-compromise! i hope this huge block of text is not annoying or overwhelming!? also thank you for inspiring me to draw non-stop for the past weeks?! bye?! *disappears*

Soulmate AU Masterlist

Tattoos or Marks

Red tallies appear for every person you’ve loved, black for every person you’ve loved that has died, and a white tally for when you meet your soulmate

A mark that matches, sometimes like a puzzle piece to someone else, and grows hotter the closer they are to you

You have a tattoo of what your soulmate is most passionate about

You have a tattoo of the first words they say to you

You have a tattoo of how old you both are when you meet

Changing tattoo that tells you the coordinates of where your soulmate is

Tree tattoo that changes with the seasons, but blooms pink in spring instead of white if you met your soulmate

Identical tattoos or birthmarks

Incomplete tattoos that complete themselves on your skin when you meet the person with the rest of your tattoo

Tattoos that change colour depending on what your soulmate is feeling

Eyes

Heterochromia - you have one eye of your soulmates eye colour and when you meet you get your own eye colour instead of having two different eye colours.

You only see in black and white until you meet your soulmate

Reverse black and white where you give up seeing colour when you meet your soulmate

You only see in black and white until you touch your soulmate

You only see in the different shades of your soulmates eye colour until you meet them

You can’t see the colour of your soulmates eye colour until you meet them

You see colour the first time you hear your soulmates voice directly and the colour spills from their lips

Ears

You can hear your soulmates voice in your head, but only when they sing

The secondary voice in your head is your soulmate speaking

You can speak once you meet your soulmate

You can hear once you meet your soulmate (the first thing you hear is their voice)

Time & Age

When you reach 18 you stop aging until you meet your soulmate

Watch countdown to when you’ll meet your soulmate

Reverse countdown, your clock counts up and freezes when you meet

You have a clock on your body that tells you what time it is where your soulmate is, it changes colour when they get closer to you

Body or Hair

At new years on midnight for a single minute you possess your soulmates body

Your chest glows when you look them in the eyes

Marks on your soulmate appear on your own body

You have your soulmate’s hair colour on a stripe at your wrist, when they dye or chance their hair colour the stripe changes

If you change your hair colour, your soulmates changes to the same colour (your hair goes to it’s natural colour when your soulmates does)

When you change your hair colour, your soulmates eyes change to that colour

You and your soulmate share all physical senses (I.E pain, heat, pleasure, etc…)

Other

Red sting to connect soulmates

Your soulmate is the only person you remember from your past life

Everyone is given a journal that they can use to write to their soulmate

When you sleep, if your soulmate is awake you can see what they’re doing

You dream your soulmate, but very basically (such as their silhouette or the view of their back) 

Telepathy soulmates

Sharing skills and talents with your soulmate

When your soulmate eats something you crave what they’re eating

When your soulmate cries you cry

When you kiss your soulmate for the first time your entire body glows

I got a lot of ideas from this post so I recommend you check that one out too!

41 Emotions as Expressed through Body Language

Found Here x

41 Emotions as Expressed through Body Language unique  This list, while exhausting, is soooo not exhaustive; it barely scratches the surface. And each entry could easily become cliché (if it isn’t already). But, it should be enough to get you started. Want more? Start watching people (not in a creepy way), and take notes of what they seem to do when expressing different emotions. Your repertoire of expression will double in no time. PS—do not use these for actual, real-life body language reading; you will fail. These are strictly novelistic.

Amused  -Smiling and throwing back her head laughing  -Slapping her thighs, stamping her feet, clapping her hands  -Shaking her head (That’s so wrong!)

Attentive  -Slow head nodding with a furrowed brow  -Leaning forward, toward the speaker, and sitting up  -Taking notes  -Looking over the top of her glasses

Bored  -Resting his head on his palm, peeking out between the fingers, maybe even slipping so his head “accidentally” hits the table  -Tapping toes, twirling pencil, doodling, and otherwise fidgeting  -Staring out a window, or at anything remotely more interesting (Which is everything …)

Confident  -Arms clasped behind body  -Head lifted, chest out, standing tall  -Walking briskly and making firm, precise movements

Confused  -Tilting head with narrowed eyes  -A furrowed brow  -Shrugging

Contempt/Superiority  -Lifted chin (The better to look down the nose.)  -Pursed lips, sneering, slight frown  -Circling a shoulder, stretching her neck, turning away—anything to indicate she doesn’t see the person as a threat or worthy of her attention  -Grabbing her lapels, or tucking her thumbs in her waistcoat (See this clothing? It is much nicer than yours.)  -Dismissive hand-waving

Cynical/Sarcastic/Bitter  -Twisted lips or a half-smile  -Sneering, sometimes with shaking the head and other defensive body language  -Pressed lips with a slight frown  -Eye rolling
