[UNDER CONSTRUCTION] Neither Quite This Nor That

Own character adoring writer/artist. Lots of original characters, primarily fandom-based or at least with fandom verses. Hobbyist creator I guess. Nori / she/her / RP via Discord! CHARACTERS KO-FI

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

(But, like, bass boosted. At some point I'll reblog stuff from my old blog, reupload old stuff from across twitter, etc. for now this is just here as a primary personal acct to go along with my personal personal acct (@nowwitry), which has shitposts et al)

[nethernor-i]

Bulk post of images/samples I’m putting on my website. Some’s new to here, some’s not!

[nethernor-i]

Colored up a quick doodle from yesterday! It... was meant to be something way different, ahaha. She reminds me of DBZ’s Trunks and... I don’t mind at all. I also tried that thing where you add blush/pink + shines to joints, and I have to say that, at the very least, it’s cute!

[nethernor-i]

Response to a palette meme I got on another blog. I feel like I should most definitely probably swap the colors around at some point or another... =v=a

[nethernor-i]

Forever ago I saw a fanart with short-haired Allura, and I just had to do my own take! First time properly painting digitally, but I have to say I like how it turned out. Is it bad the colors themselves are probably my favorite part?

Kaen’s Keyblade — it still needs a name, though, even if I’ve had the basis for it in my head for years. Something Bloom, perhaps? This’d probably be easier if I had a proper name + lore for the fictional flower as its focus...

[nethernor-i]

Have my Kingdom Hearts OC, Kaen (that’s KAI-en, as I keep reminding myself), who I finally got around to rebooting the design of. First there’s her full-body image/design, and then there’s the close-up edit used for her story.

And, yes, I did heavily reference official art to make this look as “real” as possible.

Various world atlases for Vitra, the world of Mutt. Most of the story will be set in La’or, but! Is it bad I stuff to be able to happen in Yvan aka the Bloodlands?? BC I DO ahaha

SO! I’m out of work and am about as broke as a shattered mirror. I’ve not even a month to earn at least two-hundred bucks for a special gift, and I’m hoping commissions will at least minimize the amount I’ll have to loan.

You can ask questions through any platform (Twitter, tumblr, etc.), but PLEASE email me about ordering commissions!

[nethernor-i]

Finally figured out how to paint digitally. Tai, my antisocial child <3

[nethernor-i]

Enjoy the stars.

Quick concept work - I like it~

Rememeber when I did sloppy commission examples

Daily doodles (more like scribbles in this case) from today and yesterday, and of course it’s basically all Magience. Kyra’s a cutie as always, though with that fur lining she reminds me less of the dweeb she is and more of the crime boss her character was, Gj, Kyra, gj. =w=;;
