Lost Children quick character bust sketches

Yup! Your hairstyles are really pretty, haha!
I am a fan of shorter hair and when it is longer, I like when the hair goes over shoulders as well. Cannot complain here! :D

Not saying I was correct but what I meant about your style before kind of shows on the top left portrait. Plus she looks a bit like American McGee's Alice, haha!

Yeah, I like playing with different kinds, yet admittedly the more extravagant ones are a challenge, but not impossible :)

Mila's sketch actually was done before this and I just copy and pasted to this. It was a doodle by itself that found a home here haha! And thank you, they do have similar looks being both raven headed and pale dears~
Pretty! :>

How do you usually come up with color schemes for your characters? :D
I think yellow/blue/white is a good combo for this sort of genre offset by colors like black/red/purple.
While their eyes are switched but that makes sense.

Good question. I think I'm more subconscious of it than I am conscious, so it's always on my mind when it comes to having colour in my work, but I don't put heavy though into. Not that I have perfect understanding since I still double-check with Rue about it, but I understand what does and doesn't work.

In relation to Miriam and Rema, it's been established, though it always isn't setup for illustrative purposes. For this, yes, because Rema usually is known to me in darker/goth colours (though not during childhood), whereas Miriam typically wears brighter. Didn't notice the eye aspect of it, so good eye :) Kinda neat~
Lost Children Part 1 Protagonist portraits

Dusk Merloci

Full Name- Dusk Merloci
Alias (s) - Ira of Adjura
Date of Birth- Alti3/12/96 SE
Age- 18
Eyes- Grey
Hair- Black
Height- 5'10'' (177.8 cm)
Weight- 161 lbs
Sex- Male
Nationality- Surlvhalian
Occupation- Isalmian soldier; Ematus Sercia knight initiate
Interests- History, war strategy, theology, linguistics, herbology
Hobby (s)- Training, reading, nature walks

Born to a Surlvhalian aristocrat and his maidservant, Ira immediately fled in his mother's arms days after he was born; a father he had never known sending mercenaries to kill them for political reasons and war between Surlvhal and Resila. Dinah was unable to take back Mat'teniah, her oldest son, before fleeing back to her tribe of Adjura.

By the age of five, Ira and Dinah were forced to flee again when the war made its way to them. They were forced to separate from her family when the mercenaries came for them amongst the Surlvhalian troops. Fleeing west into Keldrian territory for the next four years, they sought refuge in Isalme and end their journey when Dinah contracted Breahs. A kindly well-to-do farmer took them in, but sheltered them in the barnhouse because of the contagious disease.

Ira befriended Mila Mulkivitch, the farmer's adopted daughter and she began to teach him their language. Scarcely a year had passed when their assassins found them out and set fire to the Mulvitich home, killing the farmer and his sons. Mila took shelter ira and Dinah, but that too was set ablaze. Bedridden, Dinah gave Ira a desperate choice in order to save his life, the boy not wanting to leave her. In the end, Ira and Mila fled before a band of Isalmian soldiers led by Transient Knight Rema Merloci rescued them.

The next chapter in Ira's life was as her adopted son by the name of Dusk Merloci. Grateful to her for what she had done, he kept his emotions distant, Mila being the closest to them. Taking time to adjust to the strangely assorted family, his sense of loyalty led him to train under Rema and do the same for others that had been done for him. Joining Isalme military to fulfill this oath did little to qualm the shadows forming within.

Before being accepted into Ematus Sercia's order, Dusk trained in the cursed forest of A Piedi del Morto, where he encountered the Daemon Wolf, Heraphent. Unable to overcome it nor withhold the enmity it sought to exploit, Dusk was possessed, found hours later by Rema and Miriam.

Dusk never revealed what happened, but Miriam's own past experience and ability to sense the abyss led her to conclude what took place. It would not be until Ez'eliazar Catacombs where he faced Asad of the Hasheek Tabalket that Alastor/Heraphent made himself known to Dusk. Before confronting the rest of the Transients at Ematus Sercia HQ for their involvement with Surlvhal's plot against the king, Dusk took the glyph meant for him, the Eye of Abaron; it's uncertain if this was of his own will or influence of Alastor.



Mila Arcturus

Full Name- Mila Ćharon Arcturus
Alias (s) - None
Date of Birth- Estas(8)/1/100 SE
Age- 14 yrs old
Eyes- Blue
Hair- Black
Height- 5'2'' (157cm)
Weight- 89 lbs

Mila is another orphan rescued by Rema Merloci. Unable to raise Mila herself because of "laws of conduct" between Huema and Penumbra, Miriam adopted the girl herself. Mila knows nothing of her real parents as she was abandoned on an Isalmian farmer's property. Despite realizing the baby was a Penumbra, Mulkivitch could not turn a blind eye having three children of his own. Life was ordinary as possible until two foreigners, a mother and child, begged for rest for the ailing woman.

Never had she met anyone like them before, their beliefs, language, or their story. Learning of the mother and son's sad tale motivated something within Miriam triggered triggered a curiosity of her own family. As much as Miriam loved her adopted family, it would come to an end when Dinah's pursuers came to take she and Ira's life. Her older brothers aided her escape to the barn but they lost their lives along with their father at the hands of the mercenaries. Mila witnessed Dinah's sacrifice and Ira's act, though neither have ever spoken of it, even to one another since. Together they fled from the mercenaries until fortune or fate led them across the path of a band of training Ematus Sercia trainees led by Rema Merloci.

She had lost her family, but took solace in Ira surviving with her. Because she was Penumbra, Mila spent a short time in an orphanage for Nisrians with Rema and her friend, Miriam visiting her with intentions to adopt. Miriam schooled the girl much like she had Rema, though particularly focused on teaching Mila her heritage. It also became apparent that Mila was connected to Miriam in some way due to the sanguine bond felt between them. Just as she had discovered for herself, Miriam brought her to Count Ambrose, finding her uncanny resemblance to Adriana as a child.

Mila's uncovering the past would lead her to an encounter with a mysterious woman calling herself Sorrow, claiming to know her birth mother, Vetrise Cardinal or now known as Ovara Marie.
I do not have all the profiles in mind but running away, severed bonds and being found and later the past tragedy catching up again seems to be a common theme! It is called Lost Children though...
The stories seem to be more sad than dark and gritty as I first believed.

Also, dem eyes o_o
Is there a reason? :O

Yes, the stories for Dusk, Mila, Rema and Miriam have tragic stories which relate to the series being called Lost Children. However, there are other details that I can't exactly put down also or it would explain the story. Their pasts may be tragic, but overall, its a dark tale overall if I had to explain it.

Yes, Penumbra's eyes are naturally luminescent, but really only in the dark. I did it for the portraits to add a bit of fanciness~

Wow! How do you even draw that hair, haha. Beautiful!

Practice and just used to it at this point. Mainly my hand is used to the motions of creating individual strands, but not so much other things lol!
Thank you ^_^
Can't believe how long it's been and how much I have to catch up on! A lot of these will be from mid and late last year, uploading this year's batch separate. Let's begin~

Dusk Merloci concept

Finished design after my previous wip I put up earlier last year.


Transient Ombra

A motif like portrait with Dusk...


Duraturo Notte

After the Alphyne Letter incident, Rema became a fugitive alongside Dusk, searching to unveil Isalme's council under-dealings with Surlhval, an enemy kingdom to Catheel's allied nations. Giving up her knighthood in essence, her honour still remained and was able to bare her Transient armor with magic enhanced light-armour made for her by Miriam.
For the greater part of the continuity of Part I, she dawns this until the attempted rescue of Mila. Though not necessary due to the Penumbra blood in her, Rema still pushed her physical form to where it is, furthering her attributes to where her glyph, Claymore, is a trump card.

What is the story behind that one? Haha!
Looks completely different to your usual stuff. That is not a bad thing at all but it surprised me a bit. Practicing or... it does look like something you do for a friend or during a special occasion.

Transient Ombra
Bro, you honestly need more recognition for pics like that one :/
That is like game cover illustration when game covers still meant something.
Good to see the CV like art is still going strong!
Wow, am I behind XD Let's try and get out of 2017, shall we? ^^;

Dusk (Act II)


Breath of Fire IV- Ryu fanart
It's a rarity, but every now and then I'll fanart some of my biggest influences growing up. BoF was one of them.


The Dumpster King is not Amused
Did a piece for one of my girlfriend's OCs, Ru.


Erthane Inland- Motif


Fragments


More incoming!
If I'm making duplicate posts of certain art, my apologies. I've forgotten which I have and which I skipped possibly if not finished/polished at the time.

Hannah of the Rivers

Hannah has led the Moon Clan alongside the chief, Maquinna, but began as the healing priest’s daughter and wet nurse to the newborns. A staunch itinerant of The Way, she has been known to have visions and prophecies concerning major changes on the face of Katheel, steering the Moon Clan clear of conflict or joining hands with other nuhuema to protect their last refuges. Given a vision concerning Tulamar of the Moon specifically, she advises the young warrior to venture out to join with those led by the one they know as Tulamar the White, their god.

Gigan Doma- Furui Inu

Tokatsu eiyuu project I'm putting to artwork. An old story idea that involved mecha, but this story might be a side-story in the same world. No other real details as of yet, but have some in mind; nothing solid. I'll be updating this eventually. Here is the main character, unnamed currently, but in his normal state and eiyuu armour. I had the idea one day to make a serious story revolving around the Japanese themed heroes even famous in North America (Power Rangers ect.). Furui Inu also focuses on mature characters, how experience adding onto the courage, tenacity and resolve rediscovered from youth.


Mila Arcturus (Act II portrait)
Touched up an older portrait of Mila to fit the age progression of her slightly younger self, and just to update it along with the other portraits.


The Enlightened Dragon

"Betamoth stole their knowledge and gained a god
For their god they were brought to ruin
And from those ruins arose a star
Brighter than the sun
More imminent than day
But in the shadow of that phantom
The Dragon readied its roar"


Bone Factory 0

BF0 is a series of illustrations I plan on doing centering around the themes of post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk, man's inability to control the force known as life, birth, death and renewal.
