⬪⟡WELCOME⟡⬪

(≧▽≦)

Welcome to this account dedicated to Diabolik Lovers, but especially to my obsession with Satoi's style. This blog will be dedicated to my Ocs and my drawing projects. As I am not an English native speaker, please forgive my mistakes I'm helping myself with AI translation, so if it's wonky I'm sorry about that.

First things first, I, the admin, absolutely love creating visuals and decorations in every way possible, so get ready for a lot of that! Secondly, I'm totally inspired by Rejet's visuals, so I don't have any rights to gate keep my decorations. If something inspires you, you're free to recreate it for yourself!

I could post things strategically to seem more consistent… but I’d just forget, so yeah, best to post everything while my two neurons are connected. 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠▽⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

┻┳|･ω･)/ ◊ I'm working on Lysebeth again. ⬪ She doesn’t look very different; I just made her eyes darker and changed her bangs. She still has her ears, but she hides them better.

There's been a bit of a chill in the air lately... I hope it's not a bad omen.

◊ I'm using a different way to work that actually suits me better. Blocking shapes makes it easier for me to "see" than lines, so it saves me from doing the lineart and base colors over and over again just to change them hundreds of times because something bothers me. ⬪ I totally use the same body position and just change the arms, but shh, that will do the trick. ◊ So now I'll have all the iterations planned, two haircuts at two angles, the four variations of the uniform on the four poses, and the expressions. ⬪ I gave up on casual clothes for now and the updates of the Chibis. I would like to stay alive (˶˃⤙˂˶)

⬪⟡REINHARDT⟡⬪

◊ Hello again, I'm doing my annual update (^ω~)〜☆ ⬪ I'm quite happy to be back with this halfbody. ◊ It was a long journey, but the result is quite decent. ⬪ Because that guy doesn't have a lot of official references, it was quite a mental exercise to make it look consistent despite my aphantasia. ◊ There are still those mystery pixels in his eyes that confuse me, so I ended up making a weird mix. ⬪ Honestly, it's been a long time since I've been satisfied with my rendering and finished pieces. ◊ Well, the chibis should be updated a bit, but they'll suffice for now. ⬪ So now I want to remake some halfbodies for Lysebeth. ◊ Guess I’ll see you next year with Lysebeth’s halfbodies...(Hopefully) ⬪ I don't know if I misspelled his name, but since I’m French, I have a free pass because we love silent letters! *╮(°ヮ°)╭

◊ Firstly, there would be no romance whatsoever between Reinhardt and Lysebeth, she is a child from his point of view. ⬪ I've already said that Reinhardt would basically be intrigued by Lysebeth’s case because it represents a possible new branch of vampirism that was not crafted by his hand but happened outside of his plan. ◊ The infirmary is some kind of "safe place" in Lysebeth’s mind, which is shaped by Reinhardt so he could keep an eye on this peculiar pureblood, so he mostly plays along. ⬪ They often talk over a cup of tea, Lysebeth sometimes helping out and often complaining about the Sakamaki brothers. ◊ Lysebeth considers Reinhardt a bit strange at times, with the way he seems detached or the way he talks as if he knows everything, but she mostly goes along with it because he seems to harbor no negative thoughts about her condition, which is rare among her kind. ⬪ Yes, she has the same problem as everyone else with him, she can’t figure out who he really is… I love the comedic potential of that too much to change it. ◊ This is mainly why Reinhardt would appear more often in Lysebeth's route.

[dlpurebloodlady]

(^o^)/ ◊ I've always tried to find it without success, so I ended up making my own version. It’s not a real font and I have to manually place each letter, but I actually like the result, so I decided to share it. ⬪ It’s definitely not “perfectly” done, but it does the trick, especially since I took a few liberties here and there. ◊ Feel free to use it if you’d like, just please credit me. ⬪ By the way, there’s also a font called Chopin Script that’s used in Diabolik Lovers. It’s the only one I’ve found so far.

-`♡´- For @strawberrypasteljuice Here I am again with another victim fanart ! It was really interesting to work with a different body type, and she came out absolutely adorable :3 I was quite surprised because it's unlike me to be this efficient, I know I didn't do lineart or a complex pose, and the coloring isn't super polished, but it took me less time than usual! At first, I was focusing on a bust, but I got a little bit more generous ;D She definitely has a cute vibe, and I love her rounded cheeks and freckles. She looks way too precious for those ass vampires! (*TｰT)b I definitely need to study the hair again because I'm more and more lazy with them XD

[dlpurebloodlady]

-`♡´- For @equinox-86 Well, it's been a while since I've wanted to start doing fanarts again, as it helps me study Satoi's style. This prevents me from just repeating the same thing over and over, focusing only on Erie or Lysebeth. Of course, I had to draw Noctis eventually, since she's a vampire hunter, and I must honor my first "child" coworker! ;D This is just a "clean sketch" because I was initially doing a face study, but the result is cool, even if I maybe have made her waist too thin. （ ；¬＿¬) If you're okay with me experimenting with your OCs, feel free to let me know, but please comment below this post to avoid DM spam. Maybe I'll sketch them sometime. Disclaimer: These aren't requests. I might or might not create fanart of your OC, nor it would be in that format. I apologize if this sounds frustrating, but I'm too inconsistent to promise anything. (≖_≖ )

[dlpurebloodlady]

Heyheyy!! So sorry if this is such a random ask- I've recently gotten back into the DL fandom and I just wanted to say that your art is absolutely stunning ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و u do satoi's style so well!!

( • ̀ω•́ )✧ Welcome back to the fandom then! Firstly, thank you for the compliment I'm a huge fan of Satoi's work, so I try to imitate it, even if it's a bit of a challenge! More artists are always a good thing! I don't interact much, but I'm always taking a look. I've seen your OC and you did a great job! I'm returning the compliment, her design is cool, I'm a big fan of her hairstyle!

I'm pretty inconsistent with my art, both in quantity and quality, but I really appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion! I still see details I could push further, and I'd say I'm 'okay' tier when it comes to rendering. :3 The only thing helping me is that I replicate parts of the game's designs to hide the flaws with overly decorative posts. XD All those visual details are what I'm most comfortable with. :3

[dlpurebloodlady]

(╥ ω ╥) Hi there ! I have this bad habit of getting lost in the details, spending hours on 'props' or non-essential stuff when I could be creating actual new artwork with that time.  >.> Of course, I was too indecisive, so I ended up making two versions of the student card. First, I based it on the card from the KarlHeinz references, but then I wanted a darker one too! Honestly, they both look fine, so I'm happy with them!  I really like how the logo turned out, even though it's pretty basic.  I'll admit that. :3 I know there's actually a fiction with the name "Crimson Tears"  I found that out after checking if it was taken. ˚‧º·(˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)‧º·˚ I wanted a name that could use a drop of blood as a symbol, but "Drop of Blood" just doesn't have the same impact. (˃̣̣̥︿˂̣̣̥) So, if it becomes a problem for the original writer, I'll try to find something else with my broken English skills.

For those who sent me an Ask, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you! I'll answer them soon. :3 As a little reminder, my Asks can include Lysebeth's perspective if you're interested! I don't want to make my lore posts feel "boring," so it's a good way to integrate it. Since I just can't write something as complex as a fanfic for her in English >.< I'd love to have more variety in Lysebeth's busts too, like some hand poses or even different poses. It would make her feel more lively!  And some things just need improvement, so I'm reworking on it too. So it would probably take a bit more time for those type of Asks to get an answer too.

[dlpurebloodlady]

Is it possible you could share your rendering process?

\(^ヮ^)/ Hi there, sorry for the late response! I don’t mind sharing my process, but honestly, it’s pretty chaotic, so I’m not sure if it would be all that helpful XD Since I usually don’t record my process, I’ll try to quickly create a new piece with Random-chan or Random-kun to illustrate it. For now, I still don’t have access to my tablet, so I won’t be able to do it right away. I’ll make a new post about it later, but if you have a specific topic in mind, feel free to reach out to me via DM:3

(˶˃⤙˂˶) It actually reminds me that I tried to start something before imposter syndrome knocked me down, so I might try again if there’s interest—but I don’t feel legitimate to actually do it since I’m far from mastering anything XD There are so many amazing artists who just do it better than me, but if it can help someone, I’ll try to kick off my intrusive thoughts. I know I’m a bit off-topic since I wanted to share a more general approach before diving into rendering.

I'm still alive~

(*TｰT)b Here I am again, I'm working on creating an original CG, but unfortunately my legendary luck struck, and my tablet cable died >.< So I'm posting this here because I can't know for sure when I'll be able to work on it again! I'm really happy with the general vibe, even if it's not rendered ! I received an amazing help by a friend of mine with the base ideas and composition ! Since I've discovered my Aphantasia, it explains so much about my struggles with art, and my friend was kind enough to help me with it! If I don't share a link to her, it's because she stopped being present online. To explain briefly, I can't visualize things in my head, not even basic shapes, and I never knew it wasn't supposed to be the case. I've always struggled to initiate something if I didn't have a reference to rely on, which has contributed to my impostor syndrome, since I never considered myself a creative artist! Well, back to the subject: reproducing the background was really relaxing for me! :3

I'm working with only one reference for that mister, so it's definitely challenging for me! XD So please excuse me if I'm ruining him; I'm still in the early stages. >.< I've added some chibis as an apology!

⬪⟡LYSEBETH⟡⬪

Some Lore :

◊She is the only known pureblood vampire born on a lunar eclipse night. ⬪While she apparently doesn't possess any unique abilities, her senses are far keener than those of humans. ◊KarlHeinz is intrigued by the possible connection between her lack of power manifestation and the night of her birth under a lunar eclipse. ⬪She is unaware that Dr. Reinhart is actually her king, KarlHeinz, she acts naturally in his presence and even like to complain about the princes behaviors. ◊Some vampire lineages still retain the "pointy elf ears" trait. These vampires typically hide them with illusions, a skill that Lysebeth don't possess. ⬪Lysebeth, deemed a disgrace by her pureblood kin, is considered unworthy of their attention. An outcast, she's spared their bullying, living almost like a shadow.

[dlpurebloodlady]

What exactly happened to your previous account?

Hey, thanks for the question Anon! I apologize for the late reply, I was working on figuring out how to answer as the admin.

So, basically, I think the same thing happened to this account as well. I tend to make a lot of updates to see how things look on both my computer screen and phone screen. Since I'm not very familiar with how Tumblr works, I've experimented a lot with posts and themes.

This resulted in their spambot noticing me and thinking I was a bot spamming.

Normally, I should be fine from now on, since they seem to have locked my refresh option with a minimal delay of less than a minute. I just have to wait a little bit to see my edits, it's not instant anymore.

I haven't received a response from support for my previous account, so I decided to migrate here. Maybe I did something else, but I can't be sure! But it's definitely my fault, so I can't complain too much!

I still feel uneasy when doing things here and hope I won't trigger their bot again. It would have been better if they had reached out to me instead of just deleting my blog or applying a cooldown period before I could make changes again.

Thanks again for that question, Anon, I was thinking of talking about it, and it's the perfect timing actually ! I hope I was able to explain it correctly.

The conclusion is I was a bot from the start ;D

⬪⟡Unfinished Project |001⟡⬪

(º～º) Well, well what do we have here? Isn't this the culprit of my torment ? Basically, I was trying to post this unfinished project just before my annihilation from Tumblr ! Was he too much for Tumblr to handle ? ;D So this one was made on my IPad so it doesn't have all my fancy texture brushes I'm using now on CSP. I wanted to do a gift for a friend but my Art Block just kicked me around at the same time, Shu became a victim of it. XD I remember to overly focus on his facial features to make my attack gift stronger! I'm not sure if I'll ever finish it, so for now, he's stuck in this cursed category due to my laziness! >.>

[dlpurebloodlady]

⬪⟡WIP | 001⟡⬪

\(^ヮ^)/ Here I am again~ I'm really sorry for this repost! >.< The Tumblr bot just decided to kick my previous account, so I made another one, crossing my fingers! In all this, I've made good progress and can even tell you that I finished the Chibis! And to make up for bothering you all with my legendary bad luck, here they are:

I absolutely love the last one, I like making my OCs have weird faces, and Lysbeth is so good at it. ;D I will now focus on a bust shot with various expressions that I can use for asks! Well then, until next time... I hope XD

⬪⟡ASKS⟡⬪

I've prepared a way to answer the Asks visually:

⬪You'll need to specify if you want a silhouette of Random-chan (feminine) or Random-kun (masculine). ⬪As an anonymous user, you can also choose, but if I don't have the information, I'll choose randomly ;D ⬪For non-anon, I will add your username in the speaker box. ⬪I don't accept NSFW Asks, I would appreciate it if you would potentially opt for lore instead. ⬪I'll respond in character if you have a question for me, admin, remember to specify that. ⬪If you want to ask question in character too, I'm happy to have your character join the fun! ⬪If you prefer to have your character instead of Random-chan or Random-kun it's can be done if you share an image of them.
