A tumblr dedicated to my DMC OC fic on AO3, compiling all art and extra media supplementary to the fic. The fic is found here: https:// archiveofourown.org / works / 19362325 My main artblog is @gdiwes ^^
Been a while since I posted one of these, but weāre at 17/21!! Iām hoping to get some more work done before I go back to school, hoping to finish this by the end of February if all goes well!
Not gonna happen for a while (if at all lol), but some ideas for Clear in DMC5. And self-indulgent wearing of Danteās jacket because why not LOLĀ
Heās wearing Neroās shirt pretty much for the same reason that Lady wore one of Nicoās jumpsuits. Iām crying I canāt believe DMC5 gave Lady TWO girlfriends.Ā
Some ideas for the DMC cast lol Iām trying to strike a balance between the animeās designs and DMC4 which is uhhhh hard lol I will eventually color these. Hopefully.Ā
Trishās outfitĀ is very much based of Hyolynās in her DALLY MV, because honestly the croptop/big pants combo is illegally hot. Also Iām pretty sure Trish never changes clothes cuz she can snap them into existence, but look itās my fic I can do what I want.Ā
Ladyās got one thigh out, sheās allowed, itās a good design choice thatās my hot take. Iām too into DMC5ā²s design for her to not be inspired by that LOL oops
Is Dante wearing a vest because Vergil jsut died??? Is he wearing cowboy boots because he got them at a discount??? Idunno, maybe.
Did some floor planning after dinner because I ate WAY too much lol So here is the Arms Race warehouse in itās entirety, very badly drawn because I never too architecture as a class LOLĀ
The space is roughly 90% Dimitriās. The bottom left is weapons storage where customer returns/builds go and eventually Clearās Devil Arms (Grendel is stored there, along with EVENTUALLY Mundus Cereris when that gets finished lol Dunno about the rest of them, I think theyāre just gonna end up in Danteās basement.) Also between the two rooms Clearās is slightly smaller, that is not me fucking up drawing two even rooms; actually I think I just drew Clearās too big OOPS. Bathroom does not have two toilets, the one by the shower is a sink. Ā I did mess up drawing the shower to washer/dryer ratio tho LOL;;
Iiiiiiii donāt really want to transcribe my writing so hopefully itās legible enough lmao
My love of designing weapons will probably get me killed one day. But until then, it got me into art school, so have some wep designs for a DMC fanfic Iām working on lmao Favs are either Regalia or Grendel, hey capcom when youāre looking for DMC6 weps hmu ;;;;))))
A couple of OG designs for Clear lol Not a lot changed, maybe Iāll give him the beauty mark back tho LOL Thereās one other design I have from memory but it was lowkey based off the reboot and I Hate It so Iām not gonna redraw it lol
I did this instead of finishing my cosplay today but I really didnāt want to sew and just wanted to draw Clear instead so--Ā
While I could have been making Luxās shirt, I was mastering the art of freehanding straight lines instead.
The main character of my fic, more information/explanation and translation of my messy writing under the cut ^^Ā
First of all, I realize from early drafts his ponytail has gone through So Many Changes. I ended with it here because this is the mostĀ ārealisticā length. The notes on that are:Ā
- Hair is not quite black.
The reasoning is because V has black hair, and so does Lady, so Clearās more of a brunet lol A lot of my reasoning is to make him stand out from the cast in his own way, while still fitting in.Ā
- Red is more ruddy than Danteās coat and Neroās vest. Primary color is grey.Ā
I made his primary color grey/black since up until Vergil in the reboot/new game, Trish is the only one who wore mostly black. I also am really fond of monochromatic schemes with a pop of color around the waist, especially in action series where people employ a lot of acrobatics and kicks and stuff cuz the color accentuates the motions nicely. I also gave Clear something around his waist to match the long-coat silhouette since he wears a shorter jacket than every other character.Ā
The reasoning for red as his secondary color is mainly because of his relation to Dante lol But also, the game uses colors really well within the Sparda family to show each characterās alignment, and thanks to DMC5 giving Eva a model we can now assume that red is the color that represents humanity. So, going off that notion, since Clear is fully human, red became his second color.Ā
Other notes on his clothes:Ā
- Layers make him look more bulky. Yes, those are moto-jeans, I am trash and accept it. Sheath 4 knives. Generic black combat boots (2lazy2draw lol srry...)Ā
Notes on physical appearance:Ā
- Height: 5ā²9. I wanted him to be a little on the shorter side compared to the other guys, so he and Lady are around the same height when sheās in her usual boots.Ā
- Built for speed/acrobatics, not like Dante and Neroās more muscular build. Itās cuz he doesnāt claymore, bro lol. Not super lanky like V tho, kinda in-between.Ā
Because his primary weapons are a pair of knives, his fighting style is based a lot around hit-and-run, and block-checking his opponent. So, unlike Nero and Dante who just rush in swords blazing (literally in Neroās case) and just destroy shit in a flashy manner, Clear actually considers a lot of actions and backs out if he needs to reset.Ā
The Tat:Ā Custom made w/ maximum edge. Also is functionally a Devil Arm.
Iād say thatās a spoiler but it comes up in like, chapter 7 lol Design-wise, it has to be different from Vās so it only covers his arms/upper back/part of his collar and has much more color; it also doesnāt fade in and out of existence and So Far doesnāt give Clear a Devil Trigger (still deciding if I wanna do that or not tho). The current design was no where near what I was intending when I first started designing Clear, but I really like where itās ended up. The tail was a spur-of-the moment decision.Ā
- Based off of Sin DT and Clearās knives. Orbs and alchemic circles are featured.
The two sets of wings, tail, and then scales are what were inspired by Devil Trigger. The reason for basing it off Sin DT is because *lowkey spoiler* the tattoo is infused with Spardaās blood retrieved from Nero. We donāt have time to unpack all that so the TLDR is the person who designed the tattoo was a heretical scientist from Fortuna. Also, the top set of wings is supposed to be moreĀ āfeatheredā as a homage to how Clear initially was going to have something to do with angels/high-order demons. But I scrapped that idea pretty early on lolĀ
- Base of circle is a Directional Circle. Disposal nodes. None of these are real elements tho lol
I did my own research into alchemic circles and ended up basing mine partially on a circle used to make bread LOL But the intended use is deconstructing /redirecting energy from demon blood, disposing of the blood/remains, and transferring the energy left over into Clear to give him power. Iām not functioning with theĀ āequivalent exchangeā mechanic of FMA, so itās a little easier to sayĀ āthese are the parts of the circle and it will do this.ā As for theĀ āelementsā in the six small circles, I was initially going to use Actual Elements, but finding the makeup of blood that wasnāt more than plasma, water, saltĀ was proving to be too difficult for my feeble tired mind to handle lol So, I made up six 'elementsā: the top one is a drop of blood/eye combined to represent blood, the one to the right is just a random design, the two on the bottom are orbs (one is upside-down and grinning while crying, the other is just surprised screaming), and the left one is two crossed Sās with dots that when drawn wrong just look like boobies LOL The one in the very center is based off the sun/moon array but with two moons crossed over to form anĀ āeclipse.āĀ
If you read all the way down to here, thank you for sticking with me! I hope you found any part of my creative process interesting ^^ I hope to do more concept art in the future !!Ā
