Doodles before I go to bed:

AHSDKDKDSKJDIJFJIFF they’re so stupid….

Also: Hlin is a botanist in Asgard, and Njord is a “lawyer” for the TVA.

Njord Character refs!

[lokiwaffles]

Njord rework….ahhh this took wayyy too long

He’ll keep all his old outfits from the other sheet, but I wanted to mess with hair/body type. He’s so big now! I like how this stance is less stiff/expresses his personality better. There’s definitely a lot more variation within the TVA cast haha.

We have his new ref sheet, the full lineup sheet for all four main characters, and his old design vs. the new.

[lokiwaffles]

Tweaking Njord’s design. It was sketched from right to left.

I’m not sure with him…. I like the proportions of the first on the left.

[lokiwaffles]

Working on stuff…lots of concepts and things for Hlin and Njord Legrand….

[lokiwaffles]

Hlin Legrand!

Worked on this ref sheet for most of the day…and then tried to figure out how to draw the character I just designed. She’s so hard to draw for NO REASON. I definitely haven’t figured her out yet. Anyways, Njord is next! Hopefully.

Gray Lore Dump!

Art by @tinymintywolf and @lousysharkbutt !

Lore below >:)

Name: Gray Njord Legrand

Birthday: August 15 1916

Age: Biologically 24 years old.

Faction: Hydra

Current Occupation: Assassin

Likes: Iris, McDonald’s, Cats, Ava (his handler), Bucky Barnes

Dislikes: Remembering literally anything about his childhood, Hydra, his job, the Winter Soldier

Powers: Teleportation to anywhere he can visualise, (which he calls “glitching”) long lifespan, better endurance.

Languages: English, German, a bit of Russian.

Allies: Holly (sister) Iris (gf) Izzy(foster bro) Ava (handler)

Belief: He has a strong loyalty to his handlers in Hydra, but hates the group as a whole. He believes the strong rule the world and considers himself a weak person.

Achilles Heel: He follows orders to a tee, having lost hope a long time ago. Only after he meets Iris does he begin to question his place in the world. He also will bury any emotion that scares him or makes him uncomfortable, which sometimes frustrates the people around him.

Timeline:

Gray is a quiet, angry, and deeply sad individual. He was a bright, happy child before the accident that killed his family (excepting Holly), but being the lone survivor drove him to bitterness. After escaping the car wreck before the FBI arrives, he heads to an orphanage, winding up in a permanent home at around 15 (biologically and physically). He is happy, for a bit.

Around this time, he finally finds out about his powers. This happens when, during a heated argument with his foster dad, he feels threatened by how angry his dad is getting, and straight up disappears.

This of course, is his teleportation powers manifesting through the ways it usually does with mutants: trauma.

Unfortunately for him, he ends up in Russia. Specifically, the place where Bucky is currently being held by the Soviet Union.

After the initial shock of finding someone in a very high-security area, agents take him away and question him. They find out about his powers and quickly place him in a secret project involving a few half-blooded children of Asgardians. This project is nicknamed aptly Project: Demigod. Gray lives through a few years of nonstop lab experiments, before the project is closed and he is moved to the winter soldier program. He is the only survivor of Demigod.

He is trained as an assassin, and after a few false starts they figure out how to keep him from teleporting away: a slow-acting poison injected into him that only they contain the antidote to. It forces him to stay close in order to receive the antidote before he dies. After he receives the antidote he gets another shot of the poison, and the cycle continues.

Gray spends the next few decades becoming better and better at his craft. After his intitial training, he ends up following the Winter Soldier to Hydra, and works for them for a few decades. No one ever bothers to stick him in cryo, as he never ages.

He is sent after many minor political officials, and occasionally serves as a carrier pigeon for intel.

In 2004 he loses his left leg. (I forget to draw his prosthetic all the time. I suck lol). Hydra deems him too unimportant to get an actual high-tech prosthetic, and instead give him one that sort of sucks.

He goes to stay for a few weeks in a Hydra safe house, during which he meets Izzy and his foster dad. He forms a close bond with them both. After the Incident (see Izzy), he returns to his job.

His routine remains the same, until in 2011, when he meets Iris during a mission to exchange height-security information. She convinces him to go a bar, which helps spark the first bit of spontaneity and agency he’s had in a long while.

Yahaha! You found me! Or my blog, at least. Good for you!

I will mainly post my art and whatever scraps of cohesive story intrude my head. My main art mediums include sketchbooks and digital art.

My fandoms include Marvel, ROTTMNT and Zelda. Ocassionally there are others.

I also run a Youtube channel under the same name where I post speedpaints, commentaries, and animatics! (https://www.youtube.com/@DaLoki-IshWaffles)

Lastly, here are all my current Marvel OC lore dumps:

That's all for now. Have a lovely day!

[lokiwaffles]

Politely requesting lore on Gray. I can’t find a main post for him and I’m starting to feel like this…

You crack me up! I’ve just put the post up— however, it probably won’t contain any mention of the time loop! Thanks for the interest— you made my day! And here’s a sneak peak at a Gray and Izzy centric pmv I’m doing:
