Melodic's Art

Melodic | fae/he/they

[thearcadianwild]

I'm currently in a STEX RP server that's going to have a Racers Gala, so I decided to draw Tassita's gala outfit since someone shared a lovely design that only part of it would work (the top and the waistband). So I took that and altered it for him. It was fun getting to practice drawing make up too, but drawing skates? hell

The Termina Crisis and Hylian Conflict Height Chart

I made a height chart to keep track of character's heights in our game. But it just had stock images, so I decided to draw the six main player characters on the chart in some casual clothes.

In order from tallest to shortest we have Pyra, Virna, Geed, Harsis, Veni'fex, and Sudo. Given how they all turned out, Pyra, Virna, and Veni'fex are my favorites outfit and design wise. More thoughts under the cut

Virna and Geed are both Twili. (Harsis is also half-twili, but that's not relevant here.) The story reason for why Virna appears to be more monstrous is due to the fact they experienced Sol Deprivation. The non-story and more design reason is because I liked the Twili designs of Growing Up Gerudo and earthnashes's Twili headcanons about Twili. (Plus in the source book we were using, it was mentioned that some Twili have black hair instead of the orange.)

Beach Babe

Mara and Ellara’s Beach Day

Aya’s Beach Day (In progress)

And here's Kajsa, our wonderful Half-Orc Paladin. I finished this about mid-july. Since her player was participating in Art Fight this was my revenge for her and what sparked me into wanting to draw all 4 of our characters having a beach day.

She is the only one of our party, who actually supports the army. And thus, she is our babysitter since the other 3 of us all are down to desert ASAP

Beach Gossip

Kajsa's Beach Day Aya's Beach Day (In progress)

I finished this over a month ago before July. This is Ellara and Mara, DnD characters of my friend and me, respectively. Ellara is a Tiefling Armorer Artificer, and Mara is a Hexblood Lunar Sorcerer. We were supposed to have a beach day, but plot got in the way 🙄 (Said as if they weren't going to the beach on a mission anyways)

Ellara and Mara are little assholes that are constantly whispering in Infernal to each other because the other PCs don't know it. It lets them talk shit in peace uvu (until an NPC knows the language)

Color Wheel

I finished this color wheel almost 3 months ago but I kept forgetting to upload it here. It took me a while to get done, but I finished it around the end of March. The pink and purple spot took some time to decide because I have a few other characters who could go in one or the other, but I settled on my DnD characters and the ones I've played. And green, I could've gone w a few options, but I really wanted to draw adult Fennel, especially w their updated design. Character names, pronouns, race, and classes under the cut.

The characters are as follows: Red - Dren (he/they), Fierna Tiefling Eloquence Bard Orange - Corbin (she/they), Eladrin Eloquence Bard Yellow - Virna (they), Twili Twilight Cleric Green - Fennel (any), Dryad Beastial Barbarian Blue - Arvid (he/they), Glasya Tiefling Wildfire Druid Indigo - Asteri (they), Fairy Star Druid Purple - Harlow (they), Tiefling Dreams Druid Pink - Hydrangea (they/he), Tiefling Gloomstalker Ranger (BG3)

Hollis Beaumont Summerfield

Meet my Reborn Fey Wanderer Ranger! I made him a while ago, but I just recently drew him as I'm playing him in a friend's game. I decided he's Corbin's son. His hands turning purple are from him wilting due to the fact he is no longer alive. I may try to draw him with his moms and siblings at some point.

Virna, Cleric of Twilight

I joined a Legend of Zelda DnD game and had fun making a twili twilight cleric. They're a cleric of Hylia. Based on the homebrew we're playing with, Twilis start to turn into shadow beasts the further from the Sols they are. They lived away from the Sols for a while and started to change before they stumbled through a portal to the Light Realm, leaving them with features making them less humanoid.

Mr. Mind

Finally got around to drawing my version of Mind. The design takes some inspiration from @cinnamonsly since I really like the solid white eyes and little crown on his shirt.

I gave him mechanical hands because of the line in RoE. He also has a mechanical neck because I wanted there to be a reason why his voice is modulated. It gives more weight to the shot and Heart getting blinded if the shot destroyed his voice box. See no evil, speak no evil.

❤️ Shapes 💜

Made a new self portrait to use as an icon on a horror blog. I had fun taking outfits I normally wear and altering them to fit the theme.

Cedar Forest 🦌 Meet Cedar, my character for #ghosttownalive . He's visiting Calico on some personal business, and if he causes a bit of mischief while he's there, well that's his business. And if you notice some hooves under his skirt- What hooves? He enjoys helping the Paranormal Investigation Society, dabbling in a bit of magic and tarot himself. And if he happens to know a bit too much about the fair folk, well, he just has some first hand experience. (He used he/they pronouns despite his feminine appearance.)

🌲 Fennel 🐍 Another picture I forgot to upload. This is Fennel, my Medusa-Dryad Wildfire Druid. I recently got An Elf and An Orc Had a Little Baby 1 & 2 and I wanted to go wild but keep to my fey or infernal theme of characters. They're only 16 and are adventuring with their (reluctant) adoptive dad, Jindovig Pukat. He's a reborn who befriended their moms. When they were 12, their moms & Jin died in a wildfire. Jin didn't stay dead, but he doesn't really remember them. Fennel was raised in mostly isolation in the woods, so despite Jin not remembering them, they are desperate to stay with him.

💜 Purple 🌌

Welcome back to Melodic finishes art and then forgets to post for months. Anyways, I finished this June 22nd and then got lazy and didn't post.

This is Purple's full design with their jacket and all. Yes they lean more magenta in coloring, yes their name being Purple despite that is intentional. It's what happens when a 5 year old gets to name you. (Eventually they do take the name Juniper and keep Purple as a nickname.)

🦌 Angry Deer Dad 🔥

Last session, our party fought an adult green dragon in the feywild and Arvid got the final blow.

Towards the end of the fight, our rogue—Adelaide—went down, and then got kidnapped by the Archfey that already kidnapped our group's adopted daughter. So Arvid was ANGRY. More about Arvid’s build under the cut for anyone who’s curious and likes the mechanical side of DnD.

Arvid's build is a Glasya Tiefling Wildfire Druid 7/Rogue 1. He has Flames of Phlegethos so I get to reroll 1s on fire damage. His fire spirit was active so he has a boost to fire damage. AND he had Guardian of Nature Great Tree up so he had advantage on wisdom based attack rolls. I got lucky and rolled 2 nat 20s on a 3rd level Scorching Ray. Managed to roll a nice 65 fire damage.

Asteri

Meet Asteri, my fairy circle of stars druid. I'm going to be playing in a Strixhaven campaign and I ended up getting Quandrix since we're all playing characters in different colleges. Since Quandrix is about math in nature, I decided they would be into astronomy.

Their wings are based on luna moths, but I made them yellow instead of green to fit their color palette.

✨ Them. ✨

A few months ago I was struck with the want to draw a full image for these two. So, I did. I originally just made them slightly transparent, but once i finished adding shading I decided to add effects to make them properly appear like holograms. (Also, yes, the shading on them is different from the shading in the room. I did that intentionally to add to the effect that they aren’t actually in the room, just projected images.)

Deactivation

So I accidentally dragged my friend into hyperfixating on Be More Chill with me, and we made a super self indulgent AU where there’s two squips instead of one. They’re called Purple (it/its) and Blue (he/they) to differentiate between the two. Purple is more like book squip while Blue is more like the musical squip. This is particularly when they’re being deactivated. You can find fics we’ve written for the two of them on AO3 under the same username.

Even though they started out as AU versions of Squip, we are starting to develop them as OCs separate from BMC. So expect to see more art of them, both for the AU, and as OCs.

Glitchless version under the cut:

Willow Forst

Finally did a full body of Willow and how fae normally dress. + colors because I drew this as a ref image for artfight. Honestly for faer skirt, it's just a bunch of fabrics. I'm putting together a cosplay of faem and I think making the skirt is gonna be the fun part.
