My DC muse has returned with a burning vengeance after four years being almost completely dead in the water, so here's two attempts at our friend @thedragonchilde's baby boy Schuyler Dunne, AKA Cold Case, because we've missed him for all of that time.

On the left is a cold attempt on our phone and stylus using Samsung's art app PENUP, from memory and having never done so before. As you may be able to tell, I Was Struggling, and honestly I'm just glad that it doesn't look worse.

On the right is a pencil sketch, with references this time. An Attempt Was Made at blush and glass tinting. Gods, we haven't done traditional in forever, but he was a worthy subject to christen the sketchbook we got for Christmas. However we do not have a functional scanner right now so forgive the questionable camera shot.

We realised partways through the second one that while we technically have drawn Sky before, this is the first time we've done so in our own art style, as the previous drawings were just silly chibis.

My self-indulgent bullshit G Gundam next gen cast that nobody asked for!

Yuliya Gulskii, 21

Fighter for Neo-Russia, pilots Blizzard Gundam

- unflappable

- natural dry wit

- has been used as inspiration porn due to her athletic career and medical issues, and is Tired of it; what's a girl gotta do to get some honest competition?

- unfortunately this means she's got a reputation to live up to, and cool, even-keeled, brains-and-brawn perfection isn't sustainable forever

- never quite learned how to engage or express her emotions and at this point is too afraid to ask

- is set on going into sports medicine, but should really consider a surgical residency

- don't bring a gun to a knife fight, bring her

- may have been Victor Frankenstein in another life

***

Apollo Kasshu-Crockett, 16

Not a professional fighter at all and is kind of feeling the pressure

- actually a hurricane; mess follows wherever this kid goes make sure there are no more national landmarks to be leveled

- easily frustrated; overload/meltdowns not uncommon

- can def be a rambling chatterbox, but as he gets older suspects that most people can't keep up or don't want to listen

- hella ADHD

- will Absolutely speak up when something is wrong, even (especially?) if it's coming from an adult

- this has 100% gotten him into fights before

- activism might be calling your name, kid; lord knows politics could use some help

- preferred method of nonverbal communication is art, actually, with paint/clay in hair/under nails to prove it

- not always happy, but definitely always energetic

- gimme ALL the physical affection, from headpats to full body hugging

***

Niran Tangprayet, 25

Fighter for Neo-Thailand, pilots Garuda Gundam

- tfw your nation is counting on you to help rehabilitate their image on the world stage

- sunshine personified, apparently

- easy to talk to

- radiates warm confidence and sometimes it can even be contagious; “believe in the me who believes in you!”

- is he friendly or flirtatious?

- has been burned by guys using him as their Illicit Gay Experience

- between that and fractured family, anything past casual interaction with new people is approached with trepidation

- but get past that and he's yours, friend

- will gush about his sisters

- will also gush about his antique weapons

- spine of steel when it matters, but can get wobbly when the past rears its head

***

Rosana Andalusia Duran, 24

Fighter for Neo-Spain, pilots Quixote Gundam

- can tend toward Honor Before Reason

- a certified Elegant Lady

- technically skilled fighter, but is searching for the spark that fueled her father's fighting spirit even in spite of what happened to him

- feels especially compelled to interrogate the motives of fellow legacy fighters

- if you are planning any shady business in this fight She Will Find You

- has an idealistic streak, in the sense that she secretly likes the idea of being a mysterious romantic hero

- ...in fact I'm actually playing with the idea of her being a masked fighter, shh

- her body is not an invitation, and the next gilipollas who takes it as one is getting a very unladylike, dishonorable shiv to the side

✧ OC Asks Part II ✧

Since my original asks post did so well, I decided to make a second part. Feel free to answer these yourself, or ask someone else! Have fun!

Part I: https://liliamoon.tumblr.com/post/662398743322279936/oc-asks

1. What are your OC’s best and worst qualities? What do they think are their best and worst qualities?

2. Is there a meaning behind their name, or a particular reason why they have it? (either in the story, or why you as the author decided to give them their name)

3. What does their voice sound like, in a couple of words? (ie soft, scratchy, seductive, high-pitched, etc)

4. Do they have any underlying motivations? (ie they seem hard-working but secretly just don’t want to fall back into poverty, etc)

5. Does their fashion sense reflect an aspect of their personality? (ie bright and colorful outfits symbolizing that they’re an upbeat person)

6. Do they have any tattoos? What are they, and why did they get them?

7. What is their biggest insecurity?

8. What is their coping mechanism?

9. What is their main love language? (gifts, quality time, acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation)

10. What is their MBTI type?

11. What kind of person are they most compatible with? (platonic or romantic)

12. How do they feel about romantic relationships? Are they into casual flings or more serious, long-term romances? Or are they uninterested?

13. What are their views on marriage? If they want to get married, what would their dream wedding be like?

14. How is their relationship with their family? Which family member are they closest to?

15. Has their personality changed at all since they were a child? Why?

16. How do other characters in the story view them?

17. How many hours of sleep does your OC get on average?

18. Where do they see themself in ten years?

19. If they had a theme song, what would it be?

20. What AU would they belong in the best?

Seems this fandom goes nuts for pretty boys so here's one of our Tavs. We're sick right now so this is probably gonna be nonsensical rambling but his name is Mnason, surname of Ward, he's a Knowledge Domain cleric of Mystra who is also a wizard (what better way to prove his devotion to the Weavemistress than by studying and practising Her Art as best he can?), and he serves as the head librarian to a prestigious tower archive of our own creation in Baldur's Gate called the Tower of Shattered Glass, well known for its sizable collection of memory shards. His twin sister Mnemosyne is the Tower's Archivist and its Keeper. The Tower does have other devotees as well, fellow clerics of Mystra and of Oghma. His father is a human bard and worshipper of Oghma; he plays the flute. His mother is a high elf; she serves as High Priestess to Mystra's church. [I might make a separate post to toss his family's headshots in.]

Mnason and his sister were born prematurely and he was particularly sick; he should've died soon after birth, but his mother begged for a miracle, and so Mystra in all Her benevolence (lol) granted a favour by saving Mnason's life. He's being sustained by Her, by the Weave itself, so this also makes him technically a sorcerer, but he is unaware of this because his innate magic is kept in check by the fact that it's kind of The Only Thing Keeping Him Alive and so there isn't exactly a surplus of it to burst out of him at random moments.

He genuinely Was Not Supposed To Be Here if not for the mind flayer abduction and is trying desperately to get back to where he's needed while also finding a cure, but as you all know, Shit Happens. Winds up falling deep, deep, deeply in love with Gale and thus having his faith challenged and his entire life turned upside down as he grapples with everything he's ever known about Mystra, and everything he's learned about her now through his journey with Gale.

Oh hey legit if y’all want to come at me and talk to me about your Tavs I will literally sit here and listen to you tell me their entire fucking story. Show me their faces and tell me their backstory. Tell me who they fell in love with. Tell me who they can’t stand. Tell me how they reacted to major story beats. I want to know it all.

#we have two #one for me and one for my uncle #the first is a seldarine drow eldritch knight of urchin background #with a moral compass that DOES work but it's badly rusted and they start their story still firmly in self preservation mode #they fall in love with astarion and happen to ALSO be sexually traumatised thirteen ways to sunday so there's that #the second is a half high elf knowledge domain cleric of mystra who is also a wizard #after all what better way to prove his devotion to the mother of all magic by studying and practising her art as best he can?#he's the librarian of a tower archive of our own creation that we've called 'the tower of shattered glass'#he and his twin sister maintain it in tandem #which makes his unplanned absence courtesy of the mind flayers a bit of an issue #he and gale fall hard for each other lol #genuinely don't know how to go further in depth on either of them without flooding these tags lmao #reblog #baldurspeen69420 #mythral #mnason ward
