doodle from a twitter poll thing
Gonna try and post more A+D stuff this year!!!
I did a redesign of Kuyah a few... weeks.. (months???) ago. LOL he looks nothing like the last redesign I posted here -- heās moreso influenced by his older designs? /rubs chin
I decided on a more mature look to reflect his role change in A+D. ( For those unaware, heās actually one of the MCs in theĀ āstoryā that takes prior to A+D. Thooough heās a shota there. >V> )
Heās sometimes referred to asĀ āThe Despairing Princeā due to how open he is with wanting to kill himself. Though heās a nice pleasant guy to be around in general. Heās into darkness and morbid things but heās not really a McEmo-type char. :)
...Iāve been kinda thinking about A+D a lot this past week and how some parts are pretty messed.. up. AH.. Ha... ha.
more doodles.. I was messing around in clip studio which Iāve had for over a year but... still havenāt really used it. My lines feel.. smoother in Sai? idK -- itās fun to use for rough draws/coloring though I color like.. 2-3x as slow in it...
The girl is a newer design for Luna. :3c
I still struggle drawing Haru... and for some reason Iāve been struggling with Thanatos too?! ;__;Ā
Been drawing some A+D stuff lately ( mightāve noticed by my twitter LOL )Ā
This trio crosses paths pretty early in the story.. :)Ā
Update!
Went through old posts and did a lot of cleaning up...!
I also have a site up for more.. organized info? LOL you can check it out here.Ā
Iāll still be using this tumblr for A+D related stuff as well as updating the site.
If you guys are ever interested in certain content ( like chars youāve seen but I havenāt done a profile page for.. lemme know..! )
Commission by @kinambrut ( posted with permission )
Sooo cuteeee these two.. T____T Out of all the relationships in A+D, they probably are my fave... LOL they just have a very fun dynamic ( putting darker... parts aside ) even if they do cause trouble for Grid and co. >V>;
A lovely ikemen Cross by @forkyspaghetti ! ( posted with permission ā„ )
Despite a sometimes intimidating ( and cool ) impression, this young manās actually shy and a bit socially awkward... He comes from a highly religious background and like most that follow the Church of Luxis, believes that the Saint of Yuda is key to mankindās salvation. Ā
some warm-up dooders
Sweats I need to make a reference folder or character sheets cause when doing draws from memory I tend to do a chimera of their past/current looks orz;;
Kain + Luāc
One always lived in his twin brotherās shadow--even after leaving, the results to his efforts to accomplish something were only mediocre at best. A victim to inferiority.Ā
The other, pampered and spoiled with every selfish whim out of duty/fear. Initially an ideal life only to later realize one lives to mistakes, learn, and gain experience--to not was to not be human. Ā
Two lonely souls driven to end it all-- but while itās fine for oneself to be selfish... when you meet someone else with the same idea, one canāt help but want to save them.Ā
Sometimes the hypocrisy of humans proves there is goodness in them as well. :)
Name Origins part 1
I thought itād be fun to share some of the meanings/reasons why I chose some characters names! Some have more thought than others... I mean most of these names I chose like... Ā over 10 years ago.
Grid:Ā
From Norse mythology,Ā ā GrĆưr ā was a giantress who aided Thor by supplying him with stuff to help against Loki. The name seems to have conflicting meanings since the word comes from āgreedā, vehemence, violence, impetuosity -- but as a name it meansĀ āpeaceā.Ā
Even though the meanings are are on opposite ends of the spectrum, they fit Grid in a way... ;)
Haru:Ā
From the Japanese word forĀ āspringā. I think most people are familiar with spring symbolism to a certain degree... transitions, renewal, etc..
I also thought it would be super cool to have chars named after the four seasons... in a true weeaboo fashion. HAHAHsd Iāve thought about just having these as aliases to soften..modernize the story but Iāve gotten too used to them so Haru he stays.
Thanatos:
From the Greek personification ofĀ ādeathā. Thanatos was associated with peaceful death which is why heās not generally a violent person despite his abilities. Thanatos was also the sibling of Hypnos (sleep) and thatās alluded to in the fact that he spends a lot of his time sleeping LOL.
Cross:
From the religious symbol of a crucifix as well as the basic meaning to cross... to pass or interrupt... You also canāt have aĀ āgridā without crossing lines-- kinda an obvious reference to how Cross is meant to play a supportive role.
Luxis
From the latin word lūx meaning light... so basically the Church of Luxis is the Church of Light LOL. Also luxury...
havenāt drawn in ages ahyyyyye

Haru Commission by tosca! ā„ā„ā„ ( Posted with permission >7<// )
Well-known in the capital as theĀ āGolden-eyed Priestā, many were disappointed when he suddenly announced heād take a hiatus from his duties with the church...
A young Grid exploring town for the first time with his brother. ...Itās not often Thanatos ventures out of the house willingly. ;)
..And for good reason as Grid soon learns that not everyone is as fond of his brother as he is. x(
A popular fashion trend amongst the more fashion-conscious is wearing a heart-shaped pin in oneās hair. Thereās many knock-offs, but the most popular, expensive, and original version is called theĀ āGiottoās Sacredā and can be found at a small shop in the capital city. Since they are hand-crafted and made with a very rare stone that is hard to come by, thereās a waiting list that can take several years.Ā
They are very popular for both males and females because theĀ āheart shapeā in A+D represents love in the form of strong devotion/loyalty, not necessarily limited to romance. Ā
Rury and Luāc both own one ;)Ā
This is from a scene that happens pretty early on in the story. Basically Haru and Grid have been planning to visit the main capital via train -- which is the fastest system of transport in A+D. But using the trains require proper paperwork/approval due to it being reserved only for the privileged and Haru belatedly realizes he messed theirs up...
Bonus trivia: The train system is owned by a man namedĀ āFaustā and thereās 9 stations total... ;) Supposedly once in a while, passengers disappear without a trace...
Abel wip... u ~ u
I told myself to do more ...Ā ārefinedā draws for A+D this year so.. letās see if I can manage.. LOSkfk
