[heatherroseiv]

Hi, I'm Heather! Christian, fangirl, illustrator, and not-yet-published writer working on ten billion projects. (count 'em) My main fandoms are HTTYD, Redwall, Voltron, Ninjago, and TMNT, but I'll mostly be sharing about my original stories and OCs here.

my ArtFight!

Starblood

Side project and novella series about Rionnlluad, a half star half moon little guy trying to find his place in the world of mortals.

lore dump - illustrations - more - metamorphosis

comics: meeting Rayvu

Protectors of Peromia

my main-est main project. The Spell Broken is the first book in the series. fantasy with such things as a sacred magical sword, a kidnapped prince, a grumpy unicorn, and a city cursed with nightmares.

Hawkins' Pride

Non-magical pirate fantasy trilogy, of which HP is the first book. About an angry little guy trying to survive in an absolute hellscape of a country ruled by the Heartless. There's also cool sea monsters.

Enrique - Esmeralda - Hawkins - Vance - Ashton - Petra - Stabby - Esmerico - meme dump

comics: Petra's hit list

The Darkmist Code

Science fantasy about knights and a post-apocalyptic fairy realm. Worldbuilding project and someday hopefully a comic series, but I'm not currently writing it. It barely has plot.

lore dump - Rennard - Steel - Trigger - Hamar - Bailey - more Trigger - Underlands - eepy knights - more

Comics: sweater - good thing he's not a cat - Trigger's purpose - the door under the mountain

Underlands lore book: part 1

Zig

Sci-fi comedy, doesn't have much of a story I'm just making silly little comics every now and then. Two aliens and their angry pet human who bites, and their shenanigans.

comics: he doesn't bite - language barrier

I have yet to draw them because I can't draw dogs very well, but I just want to remind all Steel fans that Steel has 5 dogs. not only that, he has 5 medium to large sized dogs. and they all somehow sleep on his bed with him. this man is very much always covered in dog hair.

I did briefly consider making one or two of the dogs smaller, but as much as he loves all dogs, I just could NOT picture him with any small dogs. he is very much a big dog type of guy.

just in case there was any doubt that Steel does not constantly smell like dogs.

[heatherroseiv]

Jace, a little guy who I have terribly neglected drawing despite him being a very important character in TDC. he's a friend of Bailey's, and he's... a little bit trapped in the Underlands.

he also loves those shoes very much.

hi. finishing 1 Mermay drawing a day late. (May was like.... 1 week long. help.)

this is also a redraw of one from 2016, which was the drawing that initially sparked the Peromia series/universe. so it's the slightly early 10 year anniversary art! (I think I'll be doing more stuff for the 10 year anniversary though)

she's not any character in the series, doesn't have a name. I was just like "hmmm mermaid but a mouse" and then made an extensive universe and a 5 book series about it. as one does.

old vs new:

the stuffed animal situation is phenomenal these days. you can find any specific arthropod or deep sea fish or microbe etc. used to be back in olden times all you could get was bears and mutants

[heatherroseiv]

baby Vitaz!

Rionnlluad has raised his phoenix cousins so many times he just has a big box of their baby pictures and pulls them out when they're grown up to laugh over them.

humans should be able to do a special Ultra Sleep after major life accomplishments where you're just out for like 32 hours or something and then you wake up fully refreshed in every way

# 10 for any of the knights, but specifically Bailey?

ooh good one, I haven't nailed a character arc for her yet, but. I think it might end up having something to do with... responsibilities... stepping up into leadership... she has a lot of potential, I'll just have to see what happens with her whenever I straighten out more of a story.

I haven't really got solid arcs for any of the knights gang yet besides Rennard and Trigger. (Rennard uhhhh gets betrayed a lot and learns to stop letting other people walk all over him, and Trigger I'm going to repeatedly throw against a wall until he stops being a jerk.)

Steel and Hamar both have some fears and stuff to work out but I'm still fairly hazy on what exactly is gonna go down there.

they will all get happy endings. eventually. >:3

[heatherroseiv]

# 6 for the Peromia MCs?

HA. there was little to no thought process behind all of their appearances. X'D or maybe there was and I don't remember. but let's see...

I do remember trying to design Lance's outfit and at first I was giving her more of a warrior look before I decided it was better to put her in something more farm-girly so she could more grow into her warrior look. :) and I gave her my braid. other than that I just threw her together without too much thought and based her character and story around her design, rather than the other way around.

Ryder was. *gestures vaguely at Flynn Rider* yeah idk just random came outta nowhere... just a pathetic little man in rags...

Hal's tunic was a little tacky at first but I definitely was just going for vibes and I feel like he grew into his design more as I developed him. because he didn't used to have a personality. and again I based a lot of his personality and story around his appearance.

Niegra is based on a raven. I just couldn't figure out how to make her feathers look iridescent for the longest time. and her star markings were just the first markings that popped into my head I guess. I did add more feather details and stuff to her look later, when I thought about how pegasi work and didn't want her to just be a horse with wings glued on.

I don't even remember how I came up with Morthorn. golden unicorn cool.

also I'm still amazed every time I see how LITTLE all their designs have changed in almost ten years since the first time I drew them. I pretty much NAILED it first try. which doesn't happen very often.
