Cleaver Red Rose - Guelith Hansahe.

Continuation to the Bellflowers, and the mention of Guelith... They are oh-so connected. Nidus shenanigans, Borealis timeline.

Attempting to imagine how she is styled in her cult-persona whenever she engages with them, be it work or pleasure. The Aeternae/demons are supposed to be kept a keen eye on within the religion or even subjugated, thus this leads to her hiding her identity, truly embracing "humanness" for the most part. She is definitely doing this all for pleasure... A rare sight within the cult, and most known for her legendary bouts in the colosseum Bloodsports are held in. Why is she there? Mayhaps a subject for another day. Just enjoy the Red Rose outfit. The Blood Maiden Thristania sure does. It is a rare-ish rose in her garden for her to observe.

Guelith and Silve.

They got some bad blood, though don't have fights often. Silve is unaffected for the most part of Guelith's eyes, making some fights possible. These demons aren't necessarily nemesis, but Silve really dislikes how Guelith preys on human targets to add to a collection of sorts.

Processing the cult/bellflowers stuff made me want to draw some Guelith and related things briefly.

Phillipa and her closer confidants of the Cult. Serene, Eros, Sunhi, Medea, Scarlet

During the Nidus' Borealis timeline and the initial meeting of Aurora's friends and her, she was in the Bellflowers of the Blood Maiden, located in a specific country known as Carnerra. Her position was one of high rank, below the Blood Maiden's Incarnation, Thristania, designated as her Maiden Daughter.

There will be more about this mess some other time. The closer confidants come from differing branches of the cult, that have their own desires and then purposes for the cult.

Serene the Stretcher is the tallest, and was extremely close to Phillipa, perhaps even a best genuine friend at the time. A colosseum combatant and an entertainer.

Eros Drakk, holding Sunhi Silque at the back upper portion. A mortuary assistant and corpse-cleaner, and a mask and jewelry designing event planner.

Medea Winter and Scarlet Lascrow having a sultry moment in the front. A go-to bloody beautician of sorts, and her favourite vampire-coded socialite...

Of course they have more interests and niches and skills. All of them with varying degrees of knowledge or skill in the human art of Mutation, which is one of the biggest cores of their religious worship. mainly drew to get some better visuals on them! btw the words are semi-nonsense, and may be altered in the future. meant to be suggestive of a familiar language but should have their own translations made later. Bell A'Madon will stay though. that will be used as a branding of sorts where the cult is involved. honestly? just trying to re-figure things out.

So it was that The Servant Lilith performed a surgery... "Our new Third Eye."

Yeteoa stuff.

Servant Bleu getting that cursed eye added into her forehead. When you have as much magic and skill as Lilith, this kind of a transplant is rather manageable every time. At the time, Bleu was left in the dark on how and when this surgery happened. Didn't even know it was a surgery. One day as an invitee to the Dimensions she woke up with it... and had to get used to it. A rather brutal task, whilst being showered with love while many preparations were taking place at the background. The brutal initiation task was to survive it and use it in the ever changing world that is the Dimensions. Her guide and trainer was Servant Dalia, a kind of an "angel of war and memories."

This angle of the closeup was really difficult in a way, damn. Drawing itself was simple. Lilith utilizes these specifically crafted "barrier bubbles" during a lot of her operations. Trying to figure out how I want to continue to learn how to draw better close up scales, or bigger ones overall... Also yay, spell stuff!

The Hero Unfortunate... This was inevitable.

During the Yeteoan Servant Hunts (the goal of Bleu and Udon both), Kio is to become an inevitable casualty. One day I will pop in to talk about his actual story and dreams, and how he ended up in this mess to begin with. But let there be no doubt, Kio is a good man, who did not understand the severity of getting involved.

Highly gruesome, includes Udon, Bleu, and Kio himself.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Wingbeat Guillotine. Bleu and Kio.

Nearly scrapped this one, but put that pen on paper anyways, and ended up satisfied after a shorter couple drawing sessions. The direction this was heading was a nightmare at the first.

I craved with a little more movement, or spellcasting-like stuff. Yeteoan magic on Servant-level should be fucked up. Yet I fail to represent it properly with the flair I dream about, brain kinda glitches out whenever I try to start that process on occasion.

This ain't looking too good for Kio Damieca.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Aemea, the space-age Aeternaen mech. An old idea thats jumbled around in my brain, that needs a lot of redevelopment. Incomplete on purpose, as I do not know what to keep and what to alter further.

"Aemea" translates into a word similar to 'instrument' in their native tongue. Initially the idea was to create a less biomechanical machine, but things have gotten out of hand in that department. At least heavily imitates those qualities, probably does not have actual biomass in there, unless its fully synthetic and receptive to 'onyx-lacing' (a gem-like material that conducts aeternaen/demonic abilities well, usually. different from a naturally occurring onyx, the naming conventions confuse humans while a demon knows the difference.)

Aemea's focusing function is to be a defensive tool and expand the abilities of its users. Imagine a magic wand, but the wand is a mech that can change according to user. Onyx-laced portions of the machine are able to conduct a demon's/half-demon's ability, whoever is in the cockpit and compatible. Though it's a whole another thing to make individuals compatible...

I tried to play with the idea of making my ff14-ified oc's into primals and what they'd be like, but eventually these fell off, so why not post them now. Maybe I'll salvage them for something one day, no drawing is truly failed.

Bleu, Udon, Greyl, Alice, Ruska.

I believe all of these but Alice's sketch and concept were not good enough to roll with. In this primal-like version of Alice, it expresses her ultimate consumption of Olivia, a voidsent and mother, once upon a time. Couldn't think of a good way to fix them, left them to sit, dissatisfied.

Hum.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Hm. Drew up a version of a meme I got sent a while back, good idea Hubby.

The Kardins are a normal and stable relationship! ♡ I uh, that other panel might be a little too extra. Hopefully the second panel has Alice look sufficiently idiotic.

Jayce belongs to Hubby.

I have no clue where this meme originates from.

Meetings in secret, Marinetail and Whirlwind Weaver.

Takes place in Yeteoa, character is a Merukh Yeteoan Lamia, and a Servant Morticia following Kuujaa Vastdiver. Pre-Apocalypse.

Normally, Kuujaa settlements shut out outsiders, so if Marinetail was ever caught by her community, there would be repercussions, with varying gravity depending on how it'd happen... Yet, curiosity is a common trait in anyone really, and beats dogma on occasion. Marinetail's head is dogmatic, but fights against itself by dreaming of many things. Whirlwind Weaver is a known solitary wanderer, exploring the worlds at the behest of his Servant Deity Lavlia, a mother of all Lamia. It is an expression of his appreciation, of sorts. Side characters that I enjoy very much! They deserve more fleshing out outside of my head.

[carnivorousalicearts]

man do i need therapy rn. one therapy please. (drawings will resume in time, dw!)

[carnivorousalicearts]

Kio Damieca, the Hero Unfortunate.

A fun drawing for me. A very notable character in Yeteoa pre-apocalypse, during Servant-hunt. He is unfortunate because he ended up crossing paths with Bleu and Udon.

He is a Kuujaa man, one exiled from their home and way of life (Uninemes Kuujaa). After his exile and a short ways of drifting around, learning about life outside of Servant Morticia's settlements, he wanted to be better. He develops a strong internal drive to help all kinds of people in need, forging himself a path of heroism around and beyond mountains of Scar. Just to put it extremely simply, he has some moral conundrums and struggles I'm not ready to put down in text.

A tall, lanky lad, with a clawed blade of what seems to be seaglass. Seaglass and the like was common in insults of the Kuujaa, thus it becomes a reminder of where he was from, and despite its perception, what he could be as his blade is an excellent weapon for himself. He lost a lot of his Kuujaa features as well at the moment of his exile, those being carved out of him, like fins and such. And an eye.

I love him a lot. Maybe went a little extreme on the proportions to portray the movement I wanted whenever this was sketched and initially inked.

The beginning and the end. Start of Borealis for Aurora.

They were supposed to have a happy marriage in their future, Juniper and her, despite their youth. But then he came at her with a knife and... She cannot handle it, and soon feels her only option is to flee. Flee. Never come back.

The only daughter of the Leauxie-Phillips family disappears, leaving a corpse of the Elledastrin son in her wake. What he said to her will never leave her.

(frick i hope i used the right form of that word) And ending of these drawings discussing the lost siblings for now (sakura, hedera, juniper). Some day I'll make more and continue my ramblings that have a trouble connecting together properly sometimes.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Horsing around, kinda. Initially intended as just a picture of things in the past with Aurora and Juniper with a more romantic twist, but then the horse appeared in my mind.

In the modern day Taruma, horses are still a respected form of common transportation, among being beasts of burden. The Elledastrin family has ties to the horse trade among other things, so naturally the son would inherit a fine stallion, Starline Setty. Juniper offered invites for Aurora to join him even if was just briefly in between studies and many other things they had in their schedules. She accepted a lot of them back in the day. They did a lot other stuff too, of course. Aurora liked Setty, and had horse caring knowledge as well, a lot of people do in their world.

There is a mixup in the current day technologies, as decisions for setbacks had to be made continentally after some catastrophes urged the countries to manage use and production of certain things (during Borealis' timeline modern days). Maybe that'll be a topic for some day. But simply, previous forms of ideal transportation have had their reneissance over there, with access still to some motorized transportation if one has those tightly managed licenses to acquire a vehicle... or has the balls to do crime.

Something lighthearted and unusual, showing off a past partnership in between the duo. And of course, appreciate the horse.

Young Lady Hedera Maleora. Talking to someone whom she's bought information from, including old or recent pictures. Neilikka, as she seems to call herself.

A little explanation to the previous drawing. At the back is one of the maids in Hedera's service. They are known as Old Sasha, despite their youthfulness. A title among the ladies in waiting, perhaps?

This other person is actually called Rinne... A recently departed person from Dehl, previously employed by a high ranked Dehlian family when this takes place. Timeframe is ambiguous for now.

A neighbouring country has a monarchy, and Hedera has been planted into a family that exists on the higher rank's lower rungs. Thus, becoming a noble. As a part of their system, she has a chance to become a Lady of a Territory, or even a Baroness, depending on where her life leads her, and how much she can survive the system. She has step siblings and plenty of other step family. Her family is fairly loving and provides her with privileges, but cons come with having the eyes of the higher ranked families gazing upon them... Yet, after a certain war over 100 years ago, the stability in between their families have been decent, and power-plays minimal. While Taruma still has specific volatile sayings rampantly guiding the actions of some, the pieces of this monarchy anxiously gaze at the Death Zone, and remember. Some things can never be taken back. Try and trust WPAF and their orders, as they supported the army during it's mostly cross-continent formation.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Wait... what is this?

Someone is collecting some sort of...?

Hedera Maleora's hand, and pictures of: Aurora Leauxie-Phillips, Juniper Elledastrin, Sakura Pagan.

Some kind of desk with a collection of evidence of existence of tracked persons.

[carnivorousalicearts]

Bodies, I suppose. Turaghat siblings Alva, Yiar, and Beua, excluding Udon. Went simpler with the hatching process. Pen was dying.

In their personal time, they have their own personal habits. Alva is quiet and contemplative, preferring to just rest and think by herself, whenever she does not need physical training to keep up with the demands of her job. Yiar isn't too much of a fan of being alone, and often plays games and gambles with magical crystals to pass the time. His nervous habits strike him even then, but he enjoys it in those moments. Beua sometimes has a partner and rather than have a spot to rest, the bedroom becomes quite... active and curious. Let's leave it as that.

I really should just focus on a "cheat sheet" for individual tattoos and such. This was fun to draw though. Its easier to motivate myself to draw things when the characters are expressing and doing something at least a little bit, heh.

Funfact: Turaghat family traditions also include a naming related convention for children. First the parents plan how many children they would want. Let's say, 4, like in the case of Udon, Alva, Yiar, and Beua. They then plan the amount of children to have names with as many letters as there are them. This has affected why the four siblings all have 4 letter names. If parents are unable to conceive enough kids on their own, adoption is a respected way to fill this goal, usually resulting in addition of a new name for that adopted child to fit in with the other siblings for that generation. So to say, Turaghat family traditions do involve a lot of planning, and mixes well with their family trades/jobs.
