my current main d&d pc is a rogue from Pixandria, where thievery is the #1 taboo. I am obviously very normal about him
and finally made new artwork reflecting urs' and aster's design tweaks that happened since the initial artwork. also just putting them in poses that reflect them a little bit better
ok so here's something that has been literal months in the making, maybe even a year now.
some type of light hearted/comedic monster boy dating sim that i entertained with friends
we have: Adam Frankenstein, Aster of Knossos, Oberon Midsummer, and Percival Wolfgang. also Mr. F AKA Mr. Frankenstein (you can't call him doctor cause. you know)
they all have profiles on my unvale if you're curious to read about them. it's not likely this will ever come to fruition, i've been holding onto these drawings for a while in the hopes of actually releasing them when we actually had some kind of solid idea/planned comic book/game release but that's just not realistic for all of our situations right now so i hope you enjoy them
i reworked and made a simple reference sheet for Aster🌌 !
Update on lore part: Born from the fallen leaves of Irminsul, Aster is a caretaker and guardian dedicated to the sacred Tree, having pledged his unwavering loyalty. He fights the taint that resides within its branches, prepared to oppose anyone to protect its integrity.
If honkai elements exist in genshin (highly likely), then he would be assigned imaginary, othewise i'd go with hydro or abyssal, lastly dendro
(author's note: the prev design wasn't exactly balanced, with too much heavy armor, unfitting of his style and deer-like (nimble) appearance-- I included the references since I thought it would be a fun/interesting insight
There might be further adjusments but they are most likely very minor.)
Violet: Violet was created in a lab using Sonic and Shadow's DNA. She mostly takes after Sonic, having his same adventurous and fun loving spirit and cocky attitude. They also inherited Shadow's sense of duty, wanting nothing more than to travel the world, using their abilities to protect it like their parents did at their age.
Aster and Jade: Aster and Jade were meant to be the children of Blaze, Amy, and Surge, but Surge left their partners before the twins were born. While Jade was born without powers, Aster was born with a strong connection to the Sol emeralds, giving her the ability to control light and access to her own burning form. Because of this connection Aster is the current guardian of the emeralds as well as the next in line for the throne.
The twins are complete opposites; while Aster is very studious and introverted, Jade is very outgoing and a bit of a slacker. While Aster is off studying or training with Blaze, Jade spends their time exploring the palace, gardening with Amy, or visiting Violet or Bramble back in Sonic's dimension.
Emerald: Emerald spends her time on Angel Island with Knuckles, raising chao and guarding the Master Emerald beside him. Emerald is naturally stronger than average, but while she likes training with her dad, she prefers flying. Despite being the oldest of the group, Emerald usually lets Violet or Jade take the lead on things, choosing to stay back with Aster instead of getting into too much trouble.
Bramble: Bramble was an orphan taken in by Surge and Sticks when he was very young. It's always been able to shapeshift and was originally born a tenrec, but once it got comfortable around it's new parents, it changed to a more hybrid form. Bramble enjoys the life he lives, basically having free reign to do as he pleases in the woods around Sticks' burrow or even going to visit Violet if he wants, as long as he checks back in at home. It can also be a bit obnoxious and rude, and gets along more with Jade and Violet than Emerald and Aster.
So yeah! Over the last few months, I've been working on redesigning the kids, and while I only have bits and pieces of a proper story, I feel ready to share the kids again!
Lunchtime!
This is something I've wanted to draw for years, but I never felt like I could reasonably complete and be satisfied with it until now. I'm really happy with it
I am very fond of my little guys and you should be, too. so here's the rundown on all of them, plus links to learn more! feel free to send me asks about any of them I will love you forever if you do
(I was two or three ttrpg PCs in when I realized I had accidentally named them all with something starting with the letter A. after that, I decided to commit to the bit. so here we are)
picrews/art for everyone will be beneath the cut!
Anika Templar
I haven't played her yet, but she's a changeling (in the literal fae sense and in the dnd mechanical sense) cleric of order. She is dedicated to the god of righteousness, order, and power, Andrake the Righteous Pillar. She's spent most of her life living in a place called the Marble Cathedral, which is a compound owned and run by the Pillar Temple, Andrake's largest and most powerful group of followers.
I have not talked about her much here so there's actually nothing more to link for her yet 😭
Aphim
My PC for @/herethereverywhere's life series campaign! He is a Watcher currently in the game to prove himself and maintain his Watcher status. He is also the worst. (We're using the monster of the week playbook - his class is "the divine")
posts I've made about him | posts I've vibe checked him with | writing | campaign tag
Aster
My PC for @/superioritycomplexes's post-empires season 1 campain! He's a tiefling inquisitive rogue. He has a few identity issues and a lot of daddy issues, both of which have recently come to light. It's very awkward when you steal from an empire's most prestigious/powerful Church using your father's name as an alias only to return to said empire five years later and run in to said father. Oops.
posts I've made about him | posts I've vibe checked him with [none yet, apparently] | writing
Avery Teck
My PC for a Supernatural-inspired monster of the week campaign one of my irls is going to run! Currently, he's a night shift gas station attendant in a tiny, rural Kansas town. He's also sharing a head with a demon, but this is actually not that big of a deal for him, because he's the host of a system (even if his other headmates haven't fronted in a while) (in their defense, last time they fronted they fucked around and found out with a cult, so they're chilling for a while) (the cult is, in fact, why Avery is now minorly possessed).

Anika - how she looked growing up and how she looks at the start of the campaign. picrew by crowsen
Aphim - picrew by caramael
Aster - picrew by crowsen
Avery - the one on the left is how he normally looks; the one on the right is from The Demoning (aka when he got sacrificed by a cult but, instead of dying, got possessed by the demon they were trying to summon. picrew by makowka, art by @/acentrics
AKA I finally made a proper reference for Aster! Our boy!!
I decided to ditch the idea of him having a quiver, since I realised that he could just create arrows out of energy-
Bonus shape form under cut, as well as info!
"A starfolk who is living in the age of man? I've never thought I'll see such a thing!"
~ ???
The twin brother of Aven, who has been locked away for the entirety of the brief existence of starfolks, and has been asleep for eons... until they crash landed into Skyworld. He now works as one of Lady Palutena's guards, and is incredibly curious and kind-hearted. But he can also be a bit impulsive and stubborn at times.
Be warned, despite their kind heart and peacefulness, when push comes to shove, his talons, bow and wind magic is certainly enough to cut down any foes who dare hurt his adopted family and homeland.
couldn't resist uploading the bg too i'm really happy with it

Digital illustration, depicting Aster, a humanoid being in a suit and a starry head, with Rigel fronting, indicated by red and orange colors and symbols of the sun on the backs of his gloves and tie. He is sitting on a window of an image viewing program displaying an image of grass, which seems to be growing out from the surface of the program, a mouse cursor laying in front of him, lightly buried by the grass. The two are surrounded by a collage of other image viewers, depicting various flowers, clouds, sun, and a grassy hill. The space behind him is filled with an ethereal light, shown separately in the second image.
