“Oh, darling, did you have fun playing in the sea with everyone? I wanted to make sure you were staying hydrated, so I brought you a refreshing drink! Shall I rub more sunscreen on your back~?” 

Mym got left out of the summer fun (actually it was just because we were on a beachside date together--), so I remedied the situation by giving her the Wyrmprint she deserves! It’s called Summertime Refreshments and grants increases to heal potency and skill charge. It pairs well with Verica and Ranzal ^^! I’m surprised that the drink came out so well, or, honestly just the piece entirely because I did the entire thing digitally lol 

(Border is ripped directly from the game, I’m sorry it’s such a shitty render but I’m So Tired and BAKING rn so I just wanna be done LOL;; )

I did this instead of finishing my cosplay today but I really didn’t want to sew and just wanted to draw Clear instead so-- 

While I could have been making Lux’s shirt, I was mastering the art of freehanding straight lines instead.

The main character of my fic, more information/explanation and translation of my messy writing under the cut ^^ 

First of all, I realize from early drafts his ponytail has gone through So Many Changes. I ended with it here because this is the most ‘realistic’ length. The notes on that are: 

- Hair is not quite black.

The reasoning is because V has black hair, and so does Lady, so Clear’s more of a brunet lol A lot of my reasoning is to make him stand out from the cast in his own way, while still fitting in. 

- Red is more ruddy than Dante’s coat and Nero’s vest. Primary color is grey. 

I made his primary color grey/black since up until Vergil in the reboot/new game, Trish is the only one who wore mostly black. I also am really fond of monochromatic schemes with a pop of color around the waist, especially in action series where people employ a lot of acrobatics and kicks and stuff cuz the color accentuates the motions nicely. I also gave Clear something around his waist to match the long-coat silhouette since he wears a shorter jacket than every other character. 

The reasoning for red as his secondary color is mainly because of his relation to Dante lol But also, the game uses colors really well within the Sparda family to show each character’s alignment, and thanks to DMC5 giving Eva a model we can now assume that red is the color that represents humanity. So, going off that notion, since Clear is fully human, red became his second color. 

Other notes on his clothes: 

- Layers make him look more bulky. Yes, those are moto-jeans, I am trash and accept it. Sheath 4 knives. Generic black combat boots (2lazy2draw lol srry...) 

Notes on physical appearance: 

- Height: 5′9. I wanted him to be a little on the shorter side compared to the other guys, so he and Lady are around the same height when she’s in her usual boots. 

- Built for speed/acrobatics, not like Dante and Nero’s more muscular build. It’s cuz he doesn’t claymore, bro lol. Not super lanky like V tho, kinda in-between. 

Because his primary weapons are a pair of knives, his fighting style is based a lot around hit-and-run, and block-checking his opponent. So, unlike Nero and Dante who just rush in swords blazing (literally in Nero’s case) and just destroy shit in a flashy manner, Clear actually considers a lot of actions and backs out if he needs to reset. 

The Tat: Custom made w/ maximum edge. Also is functionally a Devil Arm.

I’d say that’s a spoiler but it comes up in like, chapter 7 lol Design-wise, it has to be different from V’s so it only covers his arms/upper back/part of his collar and has much more color; it also doesn’t fade in and out of existence and So Far doesn’t give Clear a Devil Trigger (still deciding if I wanna do that or not tho). The current design was no where near what I was intending when I first started designing Clear, but I really like where it’s ended up. The tail was a spur-of-the moment decision. 

- Based off of Sin DT and Clear’s knives. Orbs and alchemic circles are featured.

The two sets of wings, tail, and then scales are what were inspired by Devil Trigger. The reason for basing it off Sin DT is because *lowkey spoiler* the tattoo is infused with Sparda’s blood retrieved from Nero. We don’t have time to unpack all that so the TLDR is the person who designed the tattoo was a heretical scientist from Fortuna. Also, the top set of wings is supposed to be more ‘feathered’ as a homage to how Clear initially was going to have something to do with angels/high-order demons. But I scrapped that idea pretty early on lol 

- Base of circle is a Directional Circle. Disposal nodes. None of these are real elements tho lol

I did my own research into alchemic circles and ended up basing mine partially on a circle used to make bread LOL But the intended use is deconstructing /redirecting energy from demon blood, disposing of the blood/remains, and transferring the energy left over into Clear to give him power. I’m not functioning with the ‘equivalent exchange’ mechanic of FMA, so it’s a little easier to say “these are the parts of the circle and it will do this.” As for the ‘elements’ in the six small circles, I was initially going to use Actual Elements, but finding the makeup of blood that wasn’t more than plasma, water, salt was proving to be too difficult for my feeble tired mind to handle lol So, I made up six 'elements’: the top one is a drop of blood/eye combined to represent blood, the one to the right is just a random design, the two on the bottom are orbs (one is upside-down and grinning while crying, the other is just surprised screaming), and the left one is two crossed S’s with dots that when drawn wrong just look like boobies LOL The one in the very center is based off the sun/moon array but with two moons crossed over to form an ‘eclipse.’ 

If you read all the way down to here, thank you for sticking with me! I hope you found any part of my creative process interesting ^^ I hope to do more concept art in the future !!

Hi!! My main blog isn’t my art blog so the name is unrecognizable but I’m mayocado/gdiWes from Sukutomo!! I’d been meaning to draw fanart of Chibi-hime for a long time (any of your girls really, I adore all of them ahdhrhej Esp Bad Girl, Young Innocent, Emi, and Chie) but I could never do an art that I was 100% proud of. But I was inspired the other night and I think I finally got it!!

I just want to say thank you for your time as part of the sukutomo community! I really loved your game of thrones style take with your Love Live OCs, and I appreciate the three community projects you’ve done ^^ Your takes were always interesting to listen to (ngl they did often line up with mine lol) and I know al of us will miss you. Thank you so much, I’m glad I’m able to follow your art on tumblr and see more of your original stuff!

OH MY GOD...THAT’S SO SWEET???? OH MY GOD.....

“Honey-bun, flex for me?”

When you’ve got a big buff wife and have to take advantage every time she takes her armor off.

Just a sketchy little idea for Summer Lucretia Dragalia Life lol Here’s the transcription:

Title: Unrestrained Summer Fun

Euden: Hey, Lucretia! Wanna play volleyball?

Lucretia: Oh?

L: How do you play?

E: Just toss the ball up and hit it! Here, try it!

L: Hup!

L: HI-YAH!

BOOF

Fritz: PBTT--F

E: OH NO FRITZ

Maybe... restrain a little...

[gdiwes]

That moment when Maki is more upset about being presumed straight than actually getting dragged. But also bold of me to assume Nico would ever mistake Maki for straight.

I miss my wife, Tails. I miss my wife.

My love of designing weapons will probably get me killed one day. But until then, it got me into art school, so have some wep designs for a DMC fanfic I’m working on lmao Favs are either Regalia or Grendel, hey capcom when you’re looking for DMC6 weps hmu ;;;;))))

[gdiwes]

They them girls!!! 

It’s the OG three Mew Mews, Ichigo, Minto, and Retasu! I’m thinking of making keychains of all five of them since I almost have Pudding done--I’ll post her and Zakuro separately. Also I’ll probably add Berry and Ringo, but idk if I’ll make keychains of them too haha

Edit: I added some bushing to Minto’s skin lol

[gdiwes]

Cats and cucumbers.

“Mew Mew Passionfruit! Metamorphosis!” 

Transformation reads right to left oops. I had the idea before I went to bed last night to draw my mega old TMM girl Passhon’s first transformation haha So I finished it at work ^^ Dunno if I’ll color this tho. I’ll add a small profile below the cut too if you’re interested~

Name: Himura Passhon

Fruit: Passionfruit 

Animal: Red Panda 

Color: Red/Orange

Weapon: Cymbal shield, pommel sword. 

Attack: Ribbon Pacymbal Crash, Aqua Ribbon Extract. 

Likes: fluffy cakes, reading, running, Kuroki Plum (her GF!!!), protecting those weaker than her, working in Café Mew Mew, relaxing in the bath after a long day, hairstyling. 

Dislikes: bitter foods, high jump, being lectured/getting in trouble, being underestimated, having to get up early to finish homework. 

Her biggest source of stress is balancing work, school, and family with being a Mew Mew. 

Outside of the girls at Café Mew Mew, she actually doesn’t have a lot of friends. 

She is a very studious and straight-laced girl who often prefers books to interacting with people, so it’s surprising that she can be so extroverted while working at the café. 

She goes to the same school as Retasu.

Although she reads a lot of novels, she also really likes to read yuri manga. 

Her first attack is a support type attack. It stuns enemies with the noise it makes, allowing another girl to finish it off. Her second attack is actually meant to be Ichigo’s, but ended up as Passhon’s by mistake. She can’t transform her pommel into a sword without Ichigo’s help to upgrade it. 

Usually she wraps her tail around her waist. When she uses Aqua Ribbon Extract, her tail unfurls and she gains a large ribbon at the base of it.

The last two Mews, Pudding and Zakuro! I love how Pudding came out so much, my other daughter <333 But Zakuro hands down has the best hair. I took some liberties with her Zacross Whip tho lol;; 

Funny story, the order of these was actually: 

Minto first (I had her sketched for like half a year and FINALLY got her done recently), sketched Ichigo/Lettuce/Berry/Pudding, Jotted down something for Zakuro and Ringo, lined Lettuce’s bangs, lined and base colored Ichigo plus her eyes/skin, lined and base colored Pudding plus her eyes, finished Ringo/Zakuro sketch, went back and finished Lettuce, one-shotted through Zakuro on a plane, AND THEN came back and finished Pudding’s shading today LOL 

Time and my work are The Same: non-linear and unstoppable lol

[gdiwes]

I haven’t played FF since Cornbread’s event but I KNOW my girls Kimchi and Tteokbokki came out recently so I thought “why not bring back two dead trends.”

Except K/DA still feels very In to me haha Anyway, I hope I matched them well haha I guess bias got the best of me so of course I drew best girl Tteokbokki the cutest lmfao

[gdiwes]

With the rise of the Sonic live action movie and the Sonic ‘06 real-time fandub, I think undeniably a trend that should be brought back is making Sonic OCs. 

Also I just wanted an excuse to draw and color Eon because she’s a colorful rainbow wreck and I love her. She calls herself Eon the Thunderhead but cuz she’s a hedgehog everyone else around her calls her ‘the Thunderhedge’ and she hates it lmfao 

Also! The font was generated from font-generator . com / graffiti / , faking a link because idk if Tumblr still destroys posts with links in them or not lmao

[gdiwes]

I got back into Xeno hell, I really love my daughters. Had to draw a hair swap for them!!

[gdiwes]

More warmup sketches. Has the K/DA train died yet?? Idc LOL I’m still hype from Blackpink’s KILL THIS LOVE comeback so I wanted to draw K/DA in some dance practice outfits inspired by both BP and the Behind the Scenes dance video.
