In other news, from the blogger's life, I just bought a new phone because both the previous one and my PC are just. so. fucking. old. they can't run anything past my four Firefox windows with fifteen tabs each.

I made some designs for my favourite nomai!! kiiiinda wish I made em more goatlike but ohhh well
in order: solanum, poke, pye, idaea :D
unrendered versions + my thoughts behind the designs under the cut!!! (spoilers ofc)
rbs are appreciated these took ages lol I am slowest artist ever
SO here were my thoughts for the designs
solanum: quantum moon motif!! she’s intended to be mostly monochrome (even tho the colour filters I used make her look purple) and purple eyes + clothes bc eye of the universe yknow yknow, and the swirly patterns on her clothes are how I draw clouds but my friend said they also look like the nomai writing which yes!! totally intentional awesome double meaning LOL :> and the circle glasses bc people keep giving her them and it’s adorable ignore the fact that 3/4 designs have glasses IT SUITS THEM ALL OK
poke: yes!! asymmetrical design!! since I based her off the white/black holes since she’s the one who recreated the warp cores yknow yknow AND the icy blue eyes… ice….. interloper…..ehehehehehe >:) also the pattern on her clothes is the pattern on the glass on the advanced warp core!! same with pye
also the matching warp core earrings with pye I thought I was sooooo clever for that one I love yuri
pye: admittedly for these last two I did not have as many ideas as the first two BUT I did kind of want her to have a vaguely mad scientist vibe? hence the big kinda messy ponytail and cracked glasses and also green… bc ghost matter….ehehehehehe
idaea: sadly I had even LESS ideas for him but im still happy with the design!! my main ideas were making him look very neat/collected and have a sun station motif… the pattern on this clothes are the patterns from gravity tiles!!
