I didn't draw her shoes because I liked how I ended up drawing her feet.

CLIP STUDIO CRASHED 4 TIMES JUST BECAUSE I WANTED A GOOD QUALITY IMAGE (the first time that happened but I was about to go mad)

I thought it was a shame that since everyone in Aurora is travelling, no one gets to dress up, so here is Erin in what I imagine he would wear back in Asera! (click on image for better quality)

@comicaurora let him be fancy!

I painted this a long while ago when the party first split cause I knew I wouldn’t have to time paint anything when the Hells finally reunited cause of my current job. I obviously thought it’d probably be Imogen in a really dark place and Laudna being full of joy etc, when they reunited, but based on last week's episode, it’s definitely going to be the opposite. Makes me want to redo this now and switch them around. Someday when I have time, maybe.

Here have some close-ups too.

Also it’s based on this still from “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”

Another year, another outfit to die in! Happy birthday again Izuna!!!!!!

Like last year, I played with someone else's lines for these charming patterns, thank you so much Lena @elhnrt ! I had a ton of fun :D

Check the readmore for pattern references and explanations, there are some easter eggs in there :)

(x,x,x,x)

My goal for this piece, in addition to playing with patterns and textures and adding some Naruto references, was to add as many death flags as possible.

The idea of having Izuna in a fireman's coat is obviously not from me. I've always like the idea of Uchihas in fire resistant clothes, and the opportunity for a thick texture alongside a reversible double pattern is very appealing. I used the image of the second reference as a base, with skulls on one side and stylized lightning patterns on the other (visible inside the sleeves and collar). Both were common immagery of firemen coats.

The actual skull pattern is taken from the third reference. I'd seen this one before and before even learning anything abt it it was too beautiful to pass up. Those white and navy gradients are absolutely delightful and I enjoyed using my gel pens for them very much.... This particular type of imagery with skulls and bones in a field is called Nozarashi, inspired by Buddhist representation of death and transience.

The lightning pattern itself is a reference to water and lightning dragons :) Like Tobirama's iconic jutsu, it's one of the hints of what's abt to happen to our little guy. The scabbard is also decorated with dragon motifs for the same reason.

The background pattern is taken from the first reference, another fireman's coat with an illustration of Raijin, the thunder god. He is often representated with drums decorated with tomoes. It works nicely as a standard looking sharingan illustration, with a reference to Tobirama's hiraishingiris with the thunder imagery, like the thunder patterns inside the coat.

If you're interested in this I recommend the book linked in the second reference! It is entirely about skeleton motifs in japanese clothing of the early 20th century.

He’s trying to be cool about it but he shouldn’t have opened that and you should probably get out of there…

OH MY GOD I NEVER ACTUALLY POSTED MY QUEEN BEE DESIGN. This one is definitely not book-accurate but like... sorry. The book design is boring to me 😅 The thing on her head here is one of those medieval-style beekeeper masks. (She uses it like a sunhat when her hood is down.) Her cloak is lined with slabs of honeycomb and functions as a giant artificial hive. I really wish she was more expanded on in canon, so I rewrote her slightly and gave her a more comprehensive backstory. The long and short of it is that she was (what would in modern terms be called) an animal psychologist with a specialty in entomology before she founded her orchard. I imagine she was the bug-lover equivalent of Doran -- but not as widely published. She gave up adventuring when she had her kids and shifted focus to the selective breeding of bees and plants to bring out their arcane properties. I imagine the trees in her grove are a special type in the same order as the lilies of life, hence their invigorating and healing properties. This will probably not be all that touched-on tbh but I think "ex-adventurer turned mad scientist" is a cool backdrop for her whole deal.

yes I am thinking about Amon tutoring her in music if he has time (he seems very busy with plots and evil science) like Viola has a *very* good voice and some training but not opera training so…
