Happy Art Monday!

Hands have always intrigued me.

Capturing hands in art is both challenging and rewarding. A simple gesture, a tender touch, can convey a myriad of emotions – that's precisely what I aim to portray when I draw them.

This piece is part of a series delving into hand studies. Rather than mere exercises, I chose to illustrate various characters from the game 'Andromeda Six', revealing their connections to the main characters across my multiple playthroughs.

'Us' captures a moment suspended in time, where the interlocking of two hands tells a story of love, connection, and a delicate balance between humanity and technology. In this evocative artwork, Rina's hand, with her ethereal blue skin, delicately clasps Bash's hand, bearing the marks of hard work and devotion, against the backdrop of a sealed steel door.

Bash, a skilled space mechanic/engineer, possesses a bionic arm—a testament to his technical expertise, strength, and resilience—while his remaining human hand bears witness to his vulnerability and connection to his humanity. Standing beside him is Rina, the tilaari, whose touch and presence anchor him in the warmth and essence of what it means to be human.

The subtle details of the clean skin on their connecting index fingers signify their profound bond, transcending technological barriers and embracing the fragility and depth of their emotional connection. 'Us' captures a moment of contemplation, where Bash questions the cost of fully adopting bionic prosthetics, while Rina, through her presence, reminds him of the intangible treasures found in the embrace of humanity.

This artwork is a visual poem, inviting viewers to meditate on the complexities of love, the intertwining of human emotions with technological advancements, and the eternal essence of connection in a vast and ever-expanding cosmos.

But above all, touch, fundamental to our humanity, is the theme of this drawing.

Shoutout to my sister @valkblue for her invaluable advice on this piece!

The title is a reference to the song of the same name, 'Us,' by Movement. (on youtube)

Stay tuned for more hands ;)

So uh, Andromeda Six is coming out with a new chapter. So in honor of that, here's a traumatizing dream sequence of my Tilaarin Traveler, Cassandra Peg'asi. Because God forbid I do anything that isn't just angst central.

Cassie’s heels clicked quietly against the polished stone floors as she wandered through the winding halls of the palace, the heavy skirts of her gown swishing around her. Once bustling halls were empty, leaving her completely alone from what she could tell. And despite her knowledge of every hallway, every room, every passage of the opulent palace, she couldn’t tell where she was. Or where she was heading. For once, the young princess was lost in her home, with no idea of where to go next. But she knew somehow that it was a special occasion. Or at least assumed, from the heavy gown of sparkling gold silk with black embroidery and the sparkling tiara balanced atop her curls. Finery that she only wore when operating in her official role as Princess. Lost in thought, she continued walking through the winding halls, lifting her skirt to keep from tripping on it as she moved faster. 

In the corner of her eye, she could see black wisps that almost looked like people. But whenever she turned to look, there was nothing there. And as she kept walking, she began to hear whispers, sounding like they were far away at first, but growing louder and louder with each step. 

“Cassandra…”

“Cassandra, where were you?” 

“Did you just leave us to die?” 

“This was all your fault. If you’d never shown him those passages…”

“How could you be so selfish? Why didn’t you stay?” 

“Why didn’t you die with the rest of us?” 

“Of course you’d leave us all to die. You’re the most useless out of all of us.”

“Typical Cassandra. Shirking her duty for frivolous things.”

The insidious whispers pounding in her mind were the voices of her siblings. Nerissa. Auberon. Ecko. Elettra. Noa. Sorenn. Tavaris. Celest. Ven’dela. Arlo. Their rasping voices overlapping and growing louder, until the overwhelming cacophony of voices drowned out even the sound of her now running footsteps. And then a voice began to scream. A voice, she realized belatedly, was hers. Filled with pain, heartbreak, sorrow, and despair. A heart-wrenching sound that brought tears to her eyes, even as she reached up to clutch at her ears, bowing over as she tried to block it all out. Tried to keep out the blaming voices and the screaming. 

Suddenly, the voices and the screaming stopped, and all was silent. Slowly, Cassie dropped her hands and began to straighten up, looking around in surprise as she found herself in the middle of the throne room. Unlike the rest of the palace, the throne room was bustling with servants. But as she looked closer, none of them had faces. With black mist covering up where their faces should have been. Gripping her skirts tightly, Cassie felt herself walk towards the thrones where her father and his wives usually sat, guided by some urge that she couldn’t describe or resist. 

As she came closer to the throne, the crowd of servants suddenly parted, allowing her to see the opulent throne where her father, and generations of her grandfathers had sat ever since the Peg’asi took the throne. But the central throne was bare, with her father nowhere to be seen. In fact, the only person sitting there was the Stellar Queen, Ta’jean. Her mother. 

Smiling gently at her daughter, the stern queen held out her hand to her. A rare show of affection to her youngest child, who had always caused her so much trouble. Dropping her skirts, Cassie reached out and took her mother’s hand, clasping it tightly. “Mother…” she whispered, forming tears starting to sting her eyes. “Mama… I miss you so much,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she fought to keep from crying. Her smile unchanging, Ta’jean reached out with her other hand and began to caress Cassie’s cheek, brushing away the welling tears. However, she said not a word, just kept staring at her with a blank, glassy look in her eyes. 

And it was then that Cassie noticed the deep red spreading across the delicate pastel yellow of Ta’jean’s gown, staining the silk, something that would have usually drawn the queen’s ire. But she didn’t react to it, just kept smiling at Cassie. Dropping her hand, Cassie immediately leapt forward and pressed her hands against the open wound, bared by a tear in her dress, showing the sword wound piercing her chest. “No! Mother!” Cassie screamed, pressing her hands, already slick with blood against the wound, tears coursing down her cheeks. “No! Please, stay with me Mother! Don’t leave!” She knew that it was useless. That her mother was already gone. Gone and dead, and she was all alone. The last Peg’asi. But even if this wasn’t real, it didn’t mean that she couldn’t try to save her mother. Maybe she could at least change what happened in her dreams.

Ta’jean reached out again and touched Cassie’s cheek, her soiled hand leaving her mother’s blood smeared across her luminescent blue skin. And as she touched her, the servants melted away. All around her, she could see her family lying dead. Strewn about like puppets whose strings had been cut, with puddles of deep crimson staining the polished marble beneath them. And all Cassie could do was stare, her hands slipping away from her mother’s chest. “You should have died with us, Cassandra. You didn’t deserve to be the one to live. Not when it’s when your fault that we died.” As the Stellar Queen spoke, blood spilled from her lips, staining her sky blue skin  and polished white teeth. 

Cassie stared in horror, and she began to scream, scream as she had never before. Scream for her fallen siblings, for her mother, for her father and his poor wives. For everything that had happened. And because in her heart, she knew her mother was right. 

Still screaming, Cassie awoke with a start, tears coursing down her cheeks as she sat upright in her bed. The scream died in her throat as she looked around her room wildly, her chest heaving as she fought to catch her breath. Burying her face in her hands, all she could do was cry. Cry and mourn her family. And wish that she had died alongside them so she wouldn’t have to feel that pain. That isolating loneliness. The despair and loss.

another personal hc list, for Ta'jean, the Stellar Queen this time.

Eventually i'll finish the queen's character sheets, eventually.

The youngest and shortest of the three queens, Ta'jean clocks in at below 5'6" and was ~47 when the coup happens.

Has a primarily pastel and low-contrast color scheme with pastel pinks, blue, and rose-gold.

Longest hair out of the queens that she often wore down or half up in loose curls. When she glows (which is particularly rare) her hair is reminiscent of starlight.

Was never happy about being married off and moved away from her home planet and was not shy about it. This did not make her popular.

However, eventually accepted her role and duty with a small amount of grace but no happiness

+ Never made an effort to make friends on her new 'home' and butted heads with Lucrezia from the start

Despite everything, she became great friends with Nikolle, who was kind and also terribly homesick.

Though they did not agree on Fenris or loving him, Ta'jean considered her to be her only true friend on the planet

Preferred to stay indoors most of the time and being awake at night. Though Nikolle often convinced her to go for walks in the gardens

+ Appreciated the fountains that had been built in the gardens as Goldis was far too dry and yellow for her taste. But also felt a measure of resentment that no one would ever go to those lengths to make her happy.

There was no love between her and Fenris. Ta'jean refused to be intimate with him and he took no issue as he did not wish to have sex with a woman who clearly hated him. With multiple options at their disposal and a need to create as many heirs as possible- their children were made via artificial insemination.

As with most things, was controlling and stern with her children: wanting them to keep as far from their 'family' as possible. Even so, she loved them more then anything.

Was happy that her eldest, Tavaris, was so like her and gladly let him study on her home planet. On the other hand, had to be more stern with Ven'dala, who wanted to make friends with the other children.

Her children were very close and Ta'jean was glad for it

+ While she did understand that her duty was just that- a duty, she enjoyed the material wealth afforded to her as a Queen and preferred expensive fabrics and delicate jewelry. Her clothes were often made of high quality silk or chiffon and often had lace worked into them.

+ She saw this partly as a tithe for making her stay on Goldis

Wore heels whenever she could, though never came close to Nikolle's height

Was often flustered by Nikolle's casual skinship but found it comforting.

There was a rumor that she had a crush on the Lunar Queen. Neither of them addressed it

Enjoyed logic games and reading

+ Would have been very good at the political machinations within Goldis elite and may have been able to rival Lucreiza if she gave half a shit about doing so

Acted as a spy for her people, and was purposely withheld information as an act of rebellion and control

This did, however, allow her a private line that she used when her best friend fell ill.

+ Despite her best efforts, she was not able to secure aid from her people (who had made many medical advances since shutting out the system) or even information on Nikolle's large, extended family.

She was never particularly warm with the other children, only slightly more so with the kits as an association, but when Ta'jean failed to secure medical help she withdrew from Nikolle and her children completely.

+ with the combination of losing her only true friend and failing to help her, Ta'jean fell into a deep depression. While she did eventually recover, she still gets terse when the Lunar Queen is mentioned and others avoid the subject around her.

While Ta'jean did not like Nerissa for many years- due to who her parents were and what she represented, Nerissa had more power then Ta'jean as the 3rd and least loved queen, and simply because she disliked almost everyone on this planet- they did end up forming an alliance.

+ It took a great deal of effort, persuasion, and reassurances on Nerissa's part before Ta'jean would give her the time of day, stubborn as she was.

Her mother's death set in motion the events that lead to the secret alliance between Nerissa and the Tilaari council.

Fenris being dethroned meant Ta'jean could go home. Of course she was happy to help. Though she would not admit it, there was a spark of hope that she could bring Nikolle as well for proper treatment, though it might be too late.

#again ill likely add and remove things as i think about it #i likely wont make one for lucrezia b/c i hate her #and it would be short anyway #andromeda six #ta'jean peg'asi #her relationship with a tilaari mc is a whole other post #again i can't take credit for everything here

Happy Art Monday!

Unlike the portrait I posted last week (which only took me a day to complete), this illustration took me ten days do draw and paint.

I have to admit I had no idea it would take this long, as it was my first time working on this type of illustration, and I even thought it would be quicker… a big mistake ^^

However, this project allowed me to learn a lot about depicting clothing (especially perspective and textures), shadows (although I believe some might be inaccurate), and color combinations.

I also had the chance to explore the 3D resources in Clip Studio Paint for posing.

It was quite fun; I felt like I was revisiting my childhood and playing with dolls (or The Sims), but without the usual limitations, as the only thing that could have held me back was not being able to depict a piece of clothing. Fortunately, Pinterest is full of various models and types of clothing that can be mixed and matched in numerous ways.

I must admit I am particularly proud of how I drew the tousled hair on the last outfit.

There's a good chance I'll create more character sheets in the future, although I currently have no projects of this style planned.
