Winter vacations have arrived and college lets me take a breather for a bit,

so wanted to make a post to write down some thoughts on what to do with this free time and some ideas.

Want to grab some mint and chocolate chips ice cream...

What was done since the last post?

Nothing much really, I did some fanart for some fellow artists but couldn't get everyone on my list and added some pages to my SOL doodles; we were into finals for the semester so I could only produce 2 or 3 drawings a week (And kinda had to give up on rendering them so black and white it was, did had a fun time experimenting with my Flipnote studio brushes)

Also worked further on a character that I had mostly on drafts being ''The Tempest Unit'' to which I finally gave a design!

Unfortunately for it, it didn't get a full body, at first I wanted to make it mecha-looking but ended up going for a Golem style to match up with all the horns and roots that come out of it's shell.

It might get smaller vessel but that will be saved for the upcoming story I've been working since July.

Also been gathering some new brushes and watching some art streams which are actually quite fun, I made the recent SOL doodle page while watching one and hopefully put some techniques to test

As to what ideas had been in mind during these days, currently want to work further with the world-building of SOL and Elesia, wanna show y'all some of the wizardry stuff those two will do, hopefully, my skill in drawing machinery isn't that rusty

Also made wrote some notes on possible design choices for SOL for stuff like how the cosmic energy affects him:

The collective knowledge of SOL's world relates flying beings and stars to Angels (Christianity Angelogy to be specific) as it is placed in a time where the industrial age in a progress focuses on flying stations and machinery

There's this idea that depending on what magecraft a caster specializes their body begins to assimilate the traits recorded in the media/cosmic energy even if they're true or not,

For example, people believe that space is cold even tho it's a misconception about it.

SOL assimilates some angel traits but might be way too much for mysterious reasons as normally these traits only happen to the ones who been enlightened by the cosmos (The Moon should hold the answer to that) Those being the unchanging appearance of a young androgynous male, almost and the shape of his hair shifting to a Covered Seraphim shape whenever he starts using media.

"So if you learn all kind of magecraft, your body will turn into a mess of mixed traits malforming your being or is there a limit?"

That's a question to answer in the story but gotta say The Tempest unit 8 eyed face, roots and horns are some of the traits given by the runes inside it's core.

I would love to practice with clothes with moth-like motifs!

Oh yeah, I also want to draw Angel from Chainsawman, I apologize in advance if it becomes the only content I make for a week straight.

on an unrelated note, pretty excited about Armored core 6 reveal! From Soft being goated as always

And that should be all I had in mind for this time around, by next time I'll probably go into detail with the story project, thanks for reading, and have a good one.

 these artistic bursts will not project themselves!
