#hello darling. i also do not know what ''tavro'' means.

[meirimerens]

i noticed it a couple of times in your pictures (mostly those that are uh. you cannot show here) that you draw Burakh with tavro signs on his body. are these tatoos? scars? something else? and on a similar topic, how do you apply these symbols on herb brides when you draw them? do you do this based on their meanings (though as far as i'm concerned most of them haven't been given any clear meanings by the developers) or just randomly?

hello darling

if you mean signs like those:

(excuse the. crops on these two first ones you know how it is you've mentioned) (the third one was posted on here it's fine...)

they're scars! specifically scars i give him when i draw him in the ATA Extended Universe, meaning the drawing Exists with my fic's lore behind it :3 i'm not saying which chapters the scars show up you're just gonna have to read the thing. teehee giggle.

on burakh, they're all sigils that exist within the game's lore, either of those

or these

all kinda flowing into one another. as you can read in the first link, some of these sigils have meanings, and some don't, so i pick and choose what i feel is right. what i Fuck Wit.

as for the Brides, their models and/or character concepts come with sigils already smeared on.

depending on whether or not i follow their models precisely, follow them loosely, or go balls to the wall with my own concepts, i either replicate the exact same sigils at the same place, put other sigils in the same or other places, or take inspiration from the placements and lines of them to draw on my own brides. i either reuse the sigils i posted above, some others drawn on these brides that don't appear on the sigil sheet, or i make some up following the same design patterns as the canon sigils. since besides a few the sigils have no canon meanings i just go cuckoo. some patterns i tend to re-use when i draw Herb Brides are the facepaint-bride's elongated sigils on the thighs and knees, the flower bride's back-of-thigh sigil that looks inspired by mongolian traditional script and her chest-painted sigils, and those on the arms. I try to leep the sigils on places where the Brides could have drawn them themselves, as i think that's what they do for the most part.

examples:

^ reusing the patterns of sigils with elongated "tails", new sigils, same placement

^ reusing the patterns of sigils over the chest, new sigils new "texture" (on the left), same placement

^ reusing the patterns of sigils with elongated "tails", different (on the left) and same sigils (right) as the concept art, different placement

thank u for askin 🫂
