More design stuff from last night. Completely redesigning this girlie after a major brainwave that fixed a bunch of stuff story-wise as I continue to develop them, so now I’m balancing her design with pink and blue

Something something, my persona as an MK OC.

Long story short, he's one of the member of the Sanctum of Seido (otherwise Orderrealm). Obsessed with keeping order, as any other Seido civilian, most presumably in matters of faith. Unlike other priests, Aquila is more laid-back and doesn't force his views of perfection upon non-Seidans. He may appear calculated and intimidating, but once you get to know him, he'll be the biggest jokester ever, competing with Johnny Cage. Some mistake him for an Edenian and he hates it. Loves dad puns and donuts.

Relationship with other characters:

Hotaru – despises him, despite the fact that priests are expected to treat guards with respect. Has nothing against other guards, just thinks that they need a different leader.

Darrius – used to be best friends until the Resistance happened. Is now mildly distrustful of him, even though deep down he still misses him.

Havik – is required to hate his guts, in reality - they're pretty chill together, even if Aquila tries to alter his decisions.

Ashrah – intrigued by her. Wants to know more about her path of redemption.

Kung Lao – mild crush (yeah OC x Canon cry about it).

Raiden – (previous timeline) worships him, but is concerned of his morality, (current timeline) "What a distinguished fellow!"

Johnny Cage – Friendly rivalry. Constantly compete on "Who has the best humor?".

Liu Kang – (previous timeline) tries to become friends just to get to know Lao better, (current timeline) worships, but recognizes his flaws and encourages to improve.

Dione: That's called a threat

Pandora: Damn

The rest of the Sarvipöllö-Hollolas (Minus Aimo)

Finished up the rest of the Sarvipöllö-Hollolas (Minus uncle Aimo because I do not have his colors yet). More about them under the cut because I wrote a lot. Massive post. Images are described in alt text! As always, these folks are for the @halfstack-smp

In image order

Sampsa was born into the Waxcoat ships business but never enjoyed all the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea quite as much as their sister Tuulikki. They broke off from Waxcoat ships in their early 20s, traveling to the Luumuseo to take up their residence there, though never becoming the owner.

Sampsa's entire arm was blown off while he was firing a bow due to the family curse, causing more than one catastrophe that day. The arrow caught a rope connected to the main mast of one of the docked ships, setting the balance off just enough to cause all the sails to unfurl the wrong way into strong winds, immediately tipping the ship all the way over onto its side. Nobody died luckily.

Sampsa wasn't aware they were queer until one of his grandkids introduced the concept to him.

Sampsa currently works as an archival assistant at the family Luumuseo. Hannu makes sure to give them easy but interesting work and has made the space accessible to account for his missing arm. They have a prosthetic, it's just itchy and he doesn't need it constantly, so Sampsa will frequently go without it. He is married to Ilona.

Ilona was born to 'Tengu' parents with some questionable hybridization back in her lineage. She's married to Sampsa.

Ilona is an art historian and conservationist, spending a majority of her free time cleaning, repairing, and re-framing artworks sent to her for her conservation efforts. She's got an excellent eye for detail and can likely tell you who made what piece in what era no matter the piece she's shown. She's also excellent at spotting fakes or forgeries of original works, as well as legally reproduced copies. Ilona has amassed a small collection of artworks she's taken in for study and research purposes.

She dabbles in a little bit of painting herself and all of Sampsa's prosthetics have hand-painted details from her.

Severi is a fashion historian and regularly works with Ensi. to reproduce and preserve old fashions and sewing patterns found through the Family's archival efforts. Most gifts from either of them are immediately recognizable given that they're a handmade garment 90% of the time. Hannu's Shawl was a birthday gift from Ensi and Severi.

Severi does not have a personal clothing brand but does sell some of the things he sews or crochets on the side that she doesn't want to keep.

Severi's legs exploded slightly due to the family curse shortly after her 17th birthday. She uses a wheelchair to help him get around now. He let his kids decorate her wheelchair when they were all young and still lets them do so if they ever want to. She lives close to his great aunt Ensi and the two of them regularly swap patterns.

Saana is a talented linguist, specializing in the discovery of old languages, their reconstruction, as well as the creation of conlangs. Saana has created more than a few conlangs for her husband Janne's books and is always credited in the back.

Saana developed her passion for linguistics from a young age, spending most of her free time learning anything and everything she possibly could about all different languages from the resources her parents could provide. She's fluent in at least 5 languages and regularly makes up new conlangs for fun. Saana sometimes teaches linguistics courses at the same college Hannu graduated from. Janne was born to tengu parents in a spruce taiga home. He is married to Saana Sarvipöllö-Hollola. He writes fiction and fantasy books mostly aimed at child and young adult audiences, telling grand stories of worlds that do not exist like their own. He has a science fiction publication but that one was enough for him to decide that he never wanted to write sci-fi again.

Columba was born to Tengu parents in a birchwood forest home. He has no siblings and is married to Severi. He came out as trans at age 13, allowing that experience to be a part of their fashion concepts moving forward. He'd already begun taking sewing classes several years beforehand and started to make clothes that would both bring him some comfort and look spectacular.

Columba creates and sells 'designer' style clothes under the brand name Dove and Raven. Dresses, skirts, blouses, shirts, all made by hand and fit to each origin's particular requirements on sizing and shape. He occasionally gifts clothing to his family members but it's a bit difficult to get them all done in time so he mostly offers sewing classes.

Corvus is an avian origins weaponry expert and, as such, spends quite a bit of time around Inka. His kids love it there because Inka shows them cool sharp things they usually aren't allowed to touch. She spent quite a bit of time around her great aunt Inka as a child, leading to him developing a passion for avian origin specific weaponry. It keeps an unsafe amount of claw extending knives around the house but doesn't seem to see the issue with having them, much to the delight of her partner.

Emille assists her with with reproduction copies of old avian origins weaponry, some to send to the Luumuseo, some to keep at home, and some to bring to fairs for entertainment's sake. Aquila is an avian origins architecture expert, focusing on the preservation and restoration of Tengu and Sirin ruins. There's been some debate as to whether or not feathered draconis count as avian, but Aquila includes them in xir research anyways.

Aquila spent most of his time sketching as a kid, drawing building after building and floorplan after floorplan. Once he found the original building plans for the Sarvipöllö-Hollola Family Luumuseo, Xir love for architecture only grew. One of his notable contributions was the addition of disabled avian origin friendly architecture in both the Sarvipöllö-Hollola Family Luumuseo and The Downfeather, calling on older blueprints for similar structures that had fallen out of modern usage.

Emille reproduces both actually dangerous and child-safe versions of historically avian origin produced weaponry. The dangerous reproduction stay at home, go to Inka, or go to Hannu at the Luumuseo. The safer reproductions are sold at fairs for entertainment's sake for younger audiences and also occasionally given to Raine and Siv as both education and a way to entertain them.

Emille picked up their love of blacksmithing from the local Daystone population, being taught by a smith that they remember as having iron inlays and strong but gentle hands. As such, most of their crafts are intricately detailed and tend to resemble the works of a daystone rather than the works of a faun. Raine fancies themselves a writer and is working on their own vast, interconnected web of lore for their 37 magical wolf oc's. Ae has always been a particularly ferocious reader, regularly demolishing upwards of 40 books over the course of a few months or so. Currently ae's obsessed with aer uncle Janne's book series, A Dance of Stars and Storms. Siv is going about her life as any 10yo child does. She is ABSOLUTELY convinced that she's an aspect of Aelrys. She isn't, but she has horns and wings and so does Aelrys so she's 100% convinced she is.

If you've somehow read all the way down here, thanks! I'm going to go dunk my head in cold water to cool off my brain.

My final project is complete! Getting from start to finish has been a wild journey but I’m so happy with how everything turned out. I’m very excited to introduce my original characters.

Artist Statement and Installation under the cut

La La Lune is a character design project featuring celestial magical girls. I aimed to create an initially small group that’s diverse in design and background with room to grow in numbers. Each character is based on their own constellation, this group focusing on the three that make up the Summer Triangle: Stella Cygnus (pink), Stella Lyra (blue), and Stella Aquila (yellow). The Stella’s not only come from the stars, but are stars themselves. Born from the cosmic dust from their respective constellations, they help to sooth the Nightmares, which are rogue cosmos dust touched by the Great Rift. Nightmares become stuck in an embryonic state, not yet fully formed as a child of the stars.

My process emphasized themes and symbolism for each design. Stella Cygnus is inspired by Swan Lake’s Odette. Stella Lyra ties in the themes of Apollo, the god who gifted the lyre to Orpheus. Stella Aquila’s theme is an eagle as is the namesake, but also conveys a royalty and princess-like appearance to tie back to Zeus, king of the Gods, who’s lightning bolts the eagle carries.

Slipstream

The second of my three superheroes, Slipstream! (His civilian name is Chris)

I’m really excited to draw more of him - especially considering his is the only story to involve aliens!

That’s two down, now I only have one left to draw. She’s going to be a challenge!

Oh, and thanks to @jasmineon who drew an awesome picture of Chris a few years ago! (Below cut)
