Playing Metroid Prime 4 made me want to ramble a bit about my AU OC, Salina Aran. For those who don't know, she's Samus' younger (identical) twin sister. She's a character I've had since I was about 10 years old. Sal's therefore been around coming up on 26 years. Below is her last/current design.

Plan to shade this later, but I like the flats too. Tiri finally gets the spotlight! Been a very long time since I did anything for her myself. She's the first child of my OC/Canon pairing, Javik/Eshala. More info in the comments.

Trying to practice drawing my Prothean OCs. Started here with Vitani, my most recent. She lacked an outfit design too, so this was more an excuse to play with colors and a general style. Vitani is the daughter of a soldier so I wanted to call back a bit to the canon armor design.

Vasira does! The underside of her hair is dyed rainbow. It's just because she likes the look. Her hair color otherwise is her natural color (dark blue/almost black).

Time to talk a bit about Natalia, my personal Shepard for my Mass Effect run. She's been around slightly longer than Eshala, having been created, I believe, a year before ME3 was released. She is the one that started everything Mass Effect for me. The art is a bit bloody and has implied self harm.

My Mass Effect OC, Jiren, has been on my mind. I don't talk about him online outside of Discord though. I wanted to talk a bit about his eye scar, so that's what this is about! Read at your own discretion as my explanation is kind of graphic.

Many of the vampires in my story are connected to one another, all to varying degrees. It's been really fun to spiderweb things together for them. In doing so I've actually expanded lore and stories for the characters themselves. Funnily enough, it started with Vasille and is still going.

When you have a multi-post talk about an OC going, then you absentmindedly leave the page and lose it. 😭

Faeries in my fantasy story are the result of an overload of power left behind from the creation of the world. They are beings of pure magic and are full of life. Their physical forms are much more alien/bug looking than they appear in current times. Sometime in their history they became much rarer.

Vampires in my fantasy story have a connection to bats as an alternate form. This is because the God that created them was connected to a Goddess that (visually) represents the shadows of night. That goddess created the God who made the vampires, and she had a bat familiar that he used to work with.

Talked about Mass Effect OC stuff last night. Just realized a sad fact through development. When Eshala had Tiri she ended up naming her in reference to the nickname she gave Jiren which was, "Jiri". At this time Eshala believed Jiren was long dead thus why naming Tiri after him in a way.

A lot of pokemon thoughts led me to an idea I plan to implement for my Litwick pokemon trainer. So you know how there are colored flame candles? Well, she's going to have custom colored Litwicks! IRL the flames are changed by a chemical compound, but thanks to the anime, I'm going with the idea--

I forgot what an annoyance the set up process is for a new account, lol.
