It's already Halloween month -- for this year, I just decided to repost all the Halloween art I've done throughout the years. (Except for a 2008 one bc it's just **too** old. You can look for it on my devianart at jadiner)

Here's the first one from 2012 feat. younger versions of characters that'll appear in Chapter 4 of A&C!

All this week I've been working on things for this and it's now that I finally have time to announce...the day before 😅😂😂😂 SORRY! But yes, along with my fellow members of the Aradia Collective, I'll be presenting a panel on "Magical Girls in Webcomics!" for the Webcomic Library Con! I'm quite excited to talk about the genre, the medium and the long journey the two entwined had...while having fun :B It will be on August 21, at 3PM EST/2PM (US timezones) on Twitch. And since Tumblr hates links, just look for "WebcomicLIbrary" and you should find the channel!

FREE TO WATCH and if you can't make it, it'll be archived later on YouTube! See you there!

Based on an idea Janaka Davis of Moonlight Apparition had (she also made the moon and custom lettering on right!), I made some promo materials for the Aradia Collective! Maybe one of my followers may remember the two characters on the right…

Happy Valentine’s! (Or Single Awareness Day ;) )

I tried to do something new for today, but I guess it’ll wait until March… It had Nonka and Fujiro, so have this extremely old art featuring them and their children instead.

Legendary Beings Ara and Celi - Magical Girls and Angels! - Ink, Sweat and Tears

Originally from Puerto Rico, NAAN now resides in the Midwest. Fluent in Spanish and English, she graduated from Iowa State University in 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Linguistics with Russian Studies and a Bachelor’s in German. As of 2018, she also now holds a Master’s in Graphic Design from the same university. She likes… Continue reading Legendary Beings Ara and Celi – Magical Girls and Angels!

I got interviewed for the great Ink, Sweat and Tears folk! Come check out my rambling self as I go DEEP into the process and Ara & Celi :D

[jadinerhine]

I’d post this tomorrow (as tomorrow IS Christmas), buuuuut I have no idea if I’ll be around tomorrow, so have this now instead. Very old art from 2016 I did for holiday card designs that I sent out 😊🎄 (Iiiiiii should’ve posted this last week tbf??? IDK anymore lol)

[jadinerhine]

Hallo! My name is NAAN! I am a webcomic creator working on my series Legendary Beings Ara & Celi and I am a huge language + comics nerd. I also like a lot of old stuff from your parents' and grandparents' times, so I may end up reblogging most of that. I'm also Puerto Rican but that's just a factoid for ya. Hurrah and hurray! Also, Mister Ed is the greatest philosopher of all time.

Found this other alternative to Tumblr, like Pillowfort – only this time it’s called Waterfall! Not sure if I’ll stick with it – unlike Pillowfort, it’s clear the coding keeps up the great tumblr tradition of being buggy and borks your posts regardless of your internet connection. Buuuut it looks nice? The way I posted is nice and clean but yeah! Another place to check out and assume it’ll die and become underground because lol what is time needed to nurture a community, Alex?

[jadinerhine]

The past two weeks has been one of my babies’ spotlight to shine for the DTYIS over on the @webcomiclibrary discord! Thank you to everyone who drew Celi from my comic! ^_^

(Please visit these people, as Tumblr just doesn’t like links anymore. I’ve confirmed it myself with my own stuff > (  )

「 SYMPHOGEAR AC: You sacrifice alone, a monster living of matter… 」

Happy Halloween!

Characters from my comic, Legendary Beings Ara & Celi, dressed as some of the girls from Symphogear! Two haven’t appeared yet, but they will in the fourth chapter when the comic comes back from hiatus. I just didn’t want this to be another trio of Ara-Miyara-Celi for now XD

I redesigned some of the outfits and the two weapons (such as Airgetlahm, which is the Gear Miyara is wearing) to fit the characters better or do callbacks to their actual canon outfits. I had trouble with Tanare and Wyda because in my head, Hibiki’s fighting style fits Tanare but her image color is orange, not yellow XD Meanwhile, I originally had Wyda dressed as Carol because she’s a jinn and in my head, she should have had a Faust Robe too. Plus, I LOVE Carol’s Dur da Blá outfit…buuuuut Wyda’s not a villain lol. So I opted for Kanade instead, since I could probably connect it to some Big Sister thing. Psyche was hard because Chris is the only Gear who has red as an image color but she doesn’t use guns, and then I remembered Chris’ bowguns XD

Ara was naturally going to be Shenshoujing for all the reasons, and Celi, I also had planned as a possibility for Carol’s Faust Robe…But Fine’s Nehushtan fits her better for Various Reasons :)

Miyara was also hard because in my head, she’s closer to Kanade just a bit in personality but her image color is shades between pink and purple. Ultimately I just had her wear Maria’s Gear because 1) it’s white, Miyara’s the main MC, yadda yadda usual MC symbolism of white and 2) Maria’s my favorite, so nyeh I just chose her because I wanted >: D

Wyda’s lion Gogol is dressed as Genjuro. Unlike Genjuro however, he really just supports her.

The actual title of this is “Attack and Dethrone God,” not for the political associations or memes, but because 1) it fits with what the theme of this illustration is, and hearkens to a plot point in Celi’s story in the comic and 2) that’s such a freaking cool phrase.

(I will probably still likely use the phrase as a piece of dialogue, and will have to make clear that it’s nothing to do with politics XD;;)

But Sacred and Wild still fits also nicely, so that’s the title!

….

Yeah, I have nothing else to say. I mean, I do, but they’re all spoilers and this is also one of those “YOU think on it, not me” pictures :V

The tweet that inspired this mentioned “adult t-shirts that say mommy and daddy” – hence, Nonka and Fujiro. 

[not pictured: Miyara, their daughter, wearing the shirt “I’m the result, SEND HELP”]
