And, feeling very inspired by season 2 so far, I’m back with another update to Corliss’s design and bio! Life’s been kicking my butt lately but things are getting better and I’ve finally gotten back into drawing. Hopefully I’ll be able to post more drawings and get a couple of stories knocked out too.
Anyway ... updated bio under the cut!
Name: Corliss Brava
Nicknames: Cori or Dutch (no one really knows how or why that nickname came to be)
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Species: Witch
Track: Beast Keeping
* She was adopted at a young age by the Bravas, which are a family of whatever these things are:
* The Brava clan, while not quite as influential as the Blights, is still considered to be one of the most powerful and respected families in the Boiling Isles.
* Quiet, laid back, and easygoing. She prefers to just take a backseat and watch events unfold around her. As a result, she is borderline creepy levels of observent.
* This does not mean she isn’t ready and willing to join/add to the chaos of a situation, should it suit her.
* Knows just about every odd law/rule in the Boiling Isles, and how to use them to your advantage. Want to pull pranks without getting detention? Not sure the thing you’re about to do is 100% legal? Talk to Corliss.
* Operates the largest supply and favor trade in Hexside. Out of potion ingredients, broke all your quills, need someone from another track to help you out? Chances are she can get you what you’re looking for, for a fair exchange, of course. So, care to make a deal?
* Also considered one of the best betting pool organizers in Hexside.
* Despises being even the slightest bit cold, despite being a walking space heater herself.
* Really enjoys being in the Beast Keeping track, but her dream is to one day take over her grandfather’s Antiques and Oddities shop.
* Can occasionally get overstimulated by too much noise or too many people around. As a result she tends to avoid large crowds, unless joined by her friends/family. This can also make her irritable during storms with lots of thunder.
* If she starts to become overly anxious or stressed, she will often chew/scratch/rub at her hands and arms.
* Does not shy away from physical affection AT ALL! A very affectionate friend, but she will respect other’s bounderies.
* Do not expect her to be the voice of reason ever. As long as she’s at least 65% sure you’re not going to get yourself or someone else killed, she is 100% going to be your hype witch.
Three more coven symbols down! I'm really enjoying these, Potions and Abomination are up next! Illusion, Construction and Bard are proving ... difficult to make patterns for but I'm getting there!
I decided to redesign Corliss, only a few tweaks but I think this suits her more. And since multi track options are a thing now I decided to join the fun. I think she'd study both the Beast Keeping and Illusion tracks.
I apologize for the phone quality, I don't have access to my scanner right now. I'll fix it later and add in a revamp of her bio.
A combination of promts #2: As a child and #3 As an adult.
I’m surprisingly pleased with how adult Corliss came out, but it’s still a very rough idea of what I think she’ll look like all grown up. Most likely this design will be tweaked and altered as we go along (and as I learn to draw decent hair styles *cough*).
I’m really excited to try my hand at all the prompts that @thatonedorkthatdraws came up with. I’m going to try and do something for all of the prompts, either some drawing or writing.
#1: Spellcasting
Corliss using a simple levetation spell to keep all her ingredients in order.
Just a little head practice, this show’s art style is really nice to draw. I don’t quite have the right markers for Gus and Willow’s hair color though.
I have fallen face first into this show, so here have an OC! Character points will be under the read more tab. (Note: this will probably get edited often).
Name: Corliss Brava
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Species: Witch
Track: Beast Keeping
* Nicknamed Dutch. Why? Your guess is as good as ... literaly everyone else’s. No one’s sure how the nickname came about, but the majority of the staff and student body use the nickname over her actual name. Close friends and family call her Cori.
* Knows just about every rule/law in the Boiling Isles, and the loopholes you can use to stay out of trouble. Want to pull pranks without getting detention? Talk to Corliss. Not sure an experiment is actually legal? Corliss. Would 100% be the bane of Bump’s existance if she ever put any effort into causing trouble.
* Always carries her supply pouch with her, and has jsut about anything you could ever need. Broke a quill? Out of ink? Ran out of potion ingredients? Chances are she has what you need. (And it’s totally NOT because she’s a disorganized mess with slight hoarding tendancies, not at all).
* Surprisingly great cook with a garbage disposal for a stomach. Will eat almost anything, but thankfully has enough awareness to know what is appealing/edible to other creatures.
* Naturally good with demons and other beasest, as well as skilled in tracking. This lead her to enrollinng in the Beast Keeping track at Hexside.
* Is interested in joining the Emperor’s Coven, if only because she dislikes the though of her magic being limited. Her natural talent combined with a surprisingly strong wourk ethic give her a solid chance of being accepted.
* Very observant, she enjoys taking a backseat to just watch others. As a result, she has a tendancy to memorixe certain habits, likes and dislike of others unitentionally. She never uses anything she learns to hurt anyone. This also makes her a great person to vent to and unload some frustrations.
*Despised being even the slightest big cold, despite being a walking space heater herself.
*Has a bit of a bad betting habit, but very rarely actually loses her wagers. Most are made in good fun or offhand, but some have involved either an exchange of money, items, or favors. There may or may not have been a secret betting ring in Hexside at one point.
* Doesn’t do too well in large crowds, especially after an extended period of time, and can start to get overwhelmed by too much noise. However, she knows a few sound manipulation spells to help cope with this.
*Dislikes thunder. Not exactly afrraid of it, but the louse noise does tend to make her uneasy.
* Comes from a very adventurous and well known family line. She herself, however, is a very easygoing and carefree individual, prefering to go with the flow of things rather than leading a charge.
* Corliss carries the Brava family curse, and is actually the first to carry it since her great great grandfather. No much is know about this curse, even to most of the Brava line, as the secrets were only passed on to those carrying the curse. However, unlike Eda’s curse, it is far easier to keep under control.
* Extremely protective of her friends and family. Friendly and easygoing as she may be, you will know true terror if you try to hurt her loved ones.
* Do not expect her to be the voice of reason for anything. As long as she’s at least 62% sure you’re not gonna get yourself or someone else killed, she is 100% gonna be your hype witch.
* Has a pet sludge slug named Gaksby. He’s the first creature she ever tamed.
* All beasts and demons are precious babies in her eyes. King? Baby. Gaksby? Baby. The school’s Grudgby griffon that she named Matilda? Precious baby!
