Dropping Raj and Alejandro as a pair...!

[nailamoonsi]

major error for antonio's bio is that i thought "antonio's heart is lost to alejandro" meant something else [that's negative]… changed it to "alejandro cannot reach antonio's heart any longer."

Neocities time.

Created a Neocities for Another Sky verse's OCs to chill out. There's 2 out of a hopeful few future "secrets" on the site (not hidden as some kind of ultra-coded thing in the HTML because I barely messed with the CSS and kinda suck at it).

My extra note is that I'm unsure what's cool to do or not when it comes to tradpub. Was fun to create so will be what it will be.

When I was little, I had this friend who used to see ghosts.

Messed around with brushes, but it's an Another Sky OC... kind of.

[nailamoonsi]

I'm planning on working on this sketch that will feature Layla (also has red), Antonio and Alejandro after finishing Another Sky WIP (very soon)! You first meet them as "the future children." Antonio is Ranvir and Armando's son.

This is Antonio (left) and Alejandro (right) at 20 years old. The red eyes are a part of the "Spectral Eyes" I brought up before, where depending on the eye color, they're humans in a futuristic environment who've gained specific psychic powers. More info on this post.

Red for the heart, gold for what you know, silver for what you reach for, and many more…

Long after Earthians traveled across the galaxy, by that era many tens of thousands of years in the future, humans began to be born with Spectral Eyes.

Including those two. That famous pair. Ranvir and Armando, who had once had crimson red eyes.

A while ago, now... But not too long ago. I mean, you’re their son, right?

image id under cut:

First image: Armando’s eyes from the art where he’s watching Ranvir walk past him. There’s a hint of a red spark in brown irises.

Middle image, an excerpt: Ranvir Chandrani smiled lightly at him, with his forsaken eyes, muted again back near the chestnut color both he and Armando and billions of other people around the world had been born with. It was a way they connected, the two of them.

Last image: Ranvir’s eyes, which are similarly brown, with the slightest hint of a red spark in them.

My own art of Layla, Alia, Antonio and Alejandro from left to right. They’re OCs within Blue Horizon, which has an ongoing comic (on both Webtoons and here), a character blog (originally on Tumblr and transcripted on Neocities), AND an epic science fantasy novel (and side adventure light novel) I’ve finished and am doing edits for. It was formerly code-named “Another Sky verse” due to initially attempting a tradpub path, but it is now a solo and indie project! (03/12/24 edit.)

07.03.23 edit: Another Sky WIP is complete at 214k words! It involves many POC and LGBT characters who are pretty invested in “ancient Earthian culture” (i.e., somewhere around our era) within a planet across the galaxy, tens of thousands of years after Earthians began exploring it.

Here’s a short summary:

Thousands of years after a distant planet becomes disconnected from galactic societies, its humans are back on their feet again. The world reaches for the future, and the Protector will lead the way. Ranvir and Armando, two boys from the Protector's class, begin to discover eerie happenings upon the planet as their friend group begins to merge. Including the sudden arrival of children who seem to be from that future.  

A lot of my previous information about the project is on Twitter. Including more detailed info, synopses, and snippets. However, I’ll slowly be shifting my focus here [as well]. Posts related to WIPs are largely tagged Blue Horizon (formerly #AnotherSkyVerse, which is now retired), but are also found at #mywrites and #myart and #my ocs drawing. I now also have a website for info on the OCs, including art.

P.S. This was the first time I drew digital art of human protags! Drawn with Clip Studio Paint. The flower is a brush by   ▷流河!

ALT under the cut:

Art 1: Layla has a red eye, eyepatch, and an odd smile going, is dark brown with wavy white-silver anime hair. She wears a light green suit with green shadow, and a red shirt. Alia is also dark brown, has falling anime ocean blue curls, with a noticeable aqua highlight. She's smiling to herself and wears a blue-violet coat. 

Art 2: Antonio has red eyes, a grin, is brown, has lighter ocean blue hair that falls like ocean waves, and has grabbed onto Alejandro, who looks a little shy, is sienna brown, has long violet hair, fuschia eyes (a power-up of red eyes), dark pink dyed locks in front of him, and he's wearing a pink shirt, as is looking back at Antonio. They both have slight blushes.

BLUE RIZE BOOK 1 BOYS' AND NBYS' RELATIONSHIP CHART with focus on romance~~~!!! 💝💝💗💖

if a few characters seem disastrous...they are. if i sound like i might be lying and /s, don't ask me if i am lying and /s, blue rize (another sky verse) is a fever dream i made up for reasons and i will not answer.

i did this to relax since i enjoy thinking about the characters' love troubles. that's about all!

(since it's troublesome, alt text beneath the cut, too:)

ALT TEXT:

smiley means admiration/very fond of as a comrade. heart means current crush levels. question mark means a mystery--can be friendly or romo. broken heart means heartbreak, usually due to breakup or rejections (or occasionally assumptions). blue lines and lettering means platonic (although relationships can start off this way, brothers + sisters + siblings by blood are canonically familial.)

khaleel (gay) with 3 hearts and "IN LOVE WITH" at leo (bi). leo toward khaleel is 5 question marks but it's noted he thinks of the two of them as "childhood friends." leo broke up with aimee, who's stressed despite his being aimee-able with her. she's "heard worrying rumors about antonio chandrani." khaleel has 1 heart toward antonio with note "cute," while antonio has a smiley and 2 hearts toward khaleel, with note "in denial over crush on him." leo has a smiley and 1 heart toward antonio with note "very cute" and antonio has a smiley with 2 hearts saying "likes him." antonio (gay) and alejandro (quote mystery unquote but not hetero) toward each other have a conflux of hidden hearts, black exclamation points and question marks implying foreboding + alarm, and an implied yellow garble of symbols atop implying curses. above the hearts is a gray cloud with blue rain onto the conflux of hearts + exclamations + question marks + garble. very tiny above the clouds says "nasir + shakir" in the same gray color. antonio and alejandro's note says "normal rivals" despite all of the above for some reason. antonio and raj toward each other is "brothers" and it says "can conflict but refuse to admit they're not as in sync as when the other is with fernando." raj (gay) toward alejandro is 3 hearts and it says "crush @ alejandro," while alejandro toward raj is 3 question marks @ raj. raj toward a face with question mark and smile with the moniker of "mystery boy" is 3 question marks, while the mystery boy has 1 heart toward him. alejandro toward diego is smiley and 3 question marks, as well as the note "best friend," while diego's toward him is smiley and 3 question marks with the note "bestie." antonio toward diego is a smiley with a broken heart and the note "likes him." diego towards him is a smiley and 3 question marks, with the note "finds him hot." diego (bi) toward fernando is 3 hearts with the note "ADORATION (crush)." fernando (bi) toward diego is 5 question marks. fernando and antonio toward each other is "brothers" and "(were close at 15)" in blue. fernando and alejandro toward each other is "good friends" in blue. fernando toward veronica is 2 hearts with the note "crush." veronica (bi) toward fernando is a smiley and 4 question marks. VERONICA ISN'T IN BOOK 1 but fernando starts crushing on her at 15-ish. this is a note on the relationship chart. diego toward raj is "wants to impress for no reason" in blue [aka platonic], and raj toward him is "weird but get along." fernando and raj toward each other is "always pretty close brothers" which contrasts with antonio and raj as well as fernando and antonio.

Finally continuing the profile arts after a long time with the last two of the main 6, Khaleel and Leo (respectively)!

They're childhood friends and in each other's orbit again in their current day.
