Ralsapril day 30: indicolite

My final post of Ralsapril! I didn't even know what this one was before looking it up, lol. I liked the shape and color of indicolite crystals, though, so just decided to draw Ralsei on the edge of some sort of cliff, with glowing blue crystals below him. I like how it looks! Even if it's kinda simple and not the most inspired thing ever... it's the last one, yknow?? I didn't want to burn myself out completely right at the end.

Looking back on Ralsapril: I really loved doing this! I was already doing near-daily sketches of Ralsei before this just for fun, but Ralsapril inspired me to share my art with other people for pretty much the first time ever, and I think I've already improved a good amount just from doing these drawings. I'm really happy with some of the stuff I've made this April. I don't know if I'm gonna post any art in the future, but I really appreciate how nice people have been, it means a lot :3

Thank you! And thanks to @dailyralsei for starting this in the first place. This was fun.

Ralsapril day 29: emerald

I realized I've basically just been using the gem-themed prompts as color prompts, so here's one that actually features gems! I thought Ralsei could be cute wearing some kind of cloak adorned with emeralds. This one's not perfect, but I think I like how it looks. Maybe I just really like the color green?

Ralsapril day 28: sunstone

I honestly really love how this one turned out. This might be my favorite piece of art I've done for Ralsapril, I'm very pleased with it! I think I did a good job with the colors, and the minimal shading I did looks way better now that I finally understand how to use overlay layers, lol. The original sketch I drew for this one was really lopsided and ugly so I was worried it wasn't going to turn out great, but I managed to save it and made something I'm really proud of.

Ralsapril day 27: lapis

I just wanted to do a basic drawing of Ralsei today, so I just used the prompt as a color prompt... the colors here are almost the inverse of the colors I did for the "electric" prompt, as I was trying to mimic the blue, yellow, and white shades of lapis. Even though it's simple and looks pretty similar to stuff I've done before, I actually really like how it turned out! I think it looks super cute for something I did relatively quickly, and I really like this pairing of colors.

I think I've said it before, but I really enjoy doing this no outline style... the process of making it is more fun, and I think the final product usually looks better. I might use this style for the last 3 prompts of Ralsapril. We'll see!

Ralsapril day 26: amethyst

I felt surprisingly motivated doing this one. This was my first time ever drawing Hat Ralsei... while I've never been super fond of Hat Ralsei as a design, I actually quite liked drawing them and I think I did a decent job! The triangle background was inspired by the crystal patterns of amethyst.

Ralsapril day 25: ruby

When I think about rubies, the main thing I think about is their deep red color, so I decided to just make something with a lot of red. I don't mind how it turned out, it's reminiscent of the kinds of drawings I was making at the beginning of Ralsapril.

Honestly, though, I'm starting to feel a bit of burnout entering this last week of Ralsapril. So my drawings for the last few prompts will probably be pretty simple.

Ralsapril day 24: indiecraft

why didn't you show up to ralsei's birthday?? :(

Sorry this one isn't very good, I'm tired today and I had no clue what to do for this prompt. I've been relying on the aesthetics wiki to help me with some of these prompts, but here I still wasn't sure what to do even after seeing the wiki page for this one... I kinda gave up to be honest, and just decided to do something that looks like it was assembled from bits of cut-up construction paper. Ralsei's expression here is basically how I'm feeling.

Ralsapril day 23: emo

Here's emo Ralsei! The outfit came together not really looking all that "emo" to me, but I think the dyed fur swoosh over the eye pulls it together somewhat?

Honestly, though, I really like doing these outfit prompts. It's nice getting to put together an outfit for a character I love, it's like I'm playing dress-up with them.

this game is hurting my productivity

Ralsapril day 22: scene

Here's my attempt at a '"scene" outfit for Ralsei... it looks kinda silly, but also I think it's pretty cute!

Ralsapril day 21: lolita

Another very simple one where I just wanted to focus on drawing a cute outfit. I've never really drawn this kind of dress, or platform shoes. I think it looks okay, if a little wonky and pretty basic. Still, it's cute and I think it's recognizably a lolita-style dress.

Also, yesterday I said I was thinking of doing more interesting backgrounds, but it turns out I lied! I decided it's flat colors only, forevermore!!

Ralsapril day 20: academia

Ralsei's getting an education! I really like the way this style looks on Ralsei, honestly... this fashion style in general really speaks to me, I like it a lot. I kept the background simple because this was one where I just wanted to focus on the outfit, but I don't know... maybe I should try to make the background more interesting next time. I think it's cute nonetheless.
