=The Anthem of Dreams= (Shapeling Ref Sheets & Icons)

Hiya dreamers.

It's been a long time since I've posted here (sorry for the wait... [=-n-=])

But I've been quite busy for the past few months, taking apart of a special fanzine project tied to my "biggest inspiration" and making a new start to my sparkdreamers project.

So this post will be a showcase of the final designs of main roster. (and any other bits i've been doing since my absence)

but starting off, i have a main logo design for the project.

I've gone through about five different iterations, each developing the overall geometric look of the logo, which also follows the design language of my artist logo.

I'm super happy with how this logo looks, with the little detail & the geometric look.

You can also see the overall progress of how i've made my logo with this sheet. [=OuO=]

Next up are the shapelings icons.

I wanted to give them a distinct look & feel, that captures the essence of the characters

=Finally let's get to the sheets themselves=

i've spent five weeks working on all these sheets along with my fanzine contribution (balancing the two had been quite time consuming)

I've gone for a portrait layout so it doesn't take a lot of space & i have combined my whole year worth of making colorful ref sheets to make them the definitive designs for everyone.

First lot are the dreamwonder. Qu, Blaze, Skyler & Alley.

Next are the guardians. Kiro, Sora / Nova, Cassie & Pyrax.

Then we have the Dark Seekers. Prizm, Sidious, Shade & Cyrus.

Finally, we have some of the supporting cast. Veela, Aqua, Astra & Vayra.

There are a few more characters i've yet to make designs for, but in terms of my main roster of characters. this is it

I'm so happy with the final result for everyone.

i've been spending more time with my drawings instead of rushing things, in order to truly love the process & to make sure each aspect of the drawing is executed well.

I feel this is very important, especially in a world where things are constantly rushed to reach goals, but it comes at the cost of losing quality of our work & legitimacy. (Especially with Gen AI making things worse [=ònó=])

But despite that, i'm happy to finally lock in on a look for everyone.

As for what i'm doing moving forward...

I'm going to work on many more drawings & i'll try to post more often here.

Having way to many places to post art has been quite a headache, so focusing on a handful of platforms to post my art should make things much better. [=@~@=]

But regardless, thanks for having the patience and i hope to see you all sooner then another month hiatus.

Romellody.

An Explosive Performance!

Myself, along with a collection of other amazing artists, decided to put together a little bit of a Lycan Collab! A massive crowd of silly plants celebrating the art of making things go boom XD

Thank you to all who participated! Be sure to check out their blogs as well!

A little collab I've taken part of during my contribution to the beyond shapes & beats project.

[romellodyisdreaming]

My Contribution to the @beyondshapesandbeatszine Project

Hiya Dreamers, been a bit since I've shared art.

But while I'm getting the last bunch of shapelings drawings done for my sparkdreamers project, I have another project I'm finally happy to share with you all!! [=>o<] 🎉

Long story short, for the past few months i've been apart of a fanzine project called Beyond Shapes & Beats, which bring together various artists from the jsab community to create a multi-medium love letter to the little indie game, just shapes & beats (which celebrates it's 8 year anniversary today)

There's a few things i've done in this project for the past 6 months...

I've started off with revisiting my takes on the in-game shapes and modernizing them in my updated shapeling style.

I've taken inspo from various jsab au's for the overall designs of everyone here

It was a nice start to kickstart my project, taking some of the design concepts from sparkdreamers & bringing them back into my roots.

Next up is my take on barracuda, which is featured on the front cover of the zine.

Finally but not least, there's the main contribution. =The Dreamers of Paradise=

This is a bit of a personal piece, reflecting my love of the game's world & how it inspired me as an artist & a lover of edm.

In a nutshell, Just Shapes & Beats has made a big impact in my life, from the artstyle i draw & the sound i enjoy listening & making.

The Drawing itself has been one of my biggest pieces of art i've done in my digital era.

A drawing that required to be made in three different parts (due to me nearly losing the entire thing [=O-O=]")

It also took me 4 months to complete, mainly due to me also working on the official run of my sparkdreamers project, as well as my newly formed music alias.

But other then that, i truly had a great time working on this project.

being able to showcase my overall style to a part of the jsab community, while also meeting some new faces including a few i'd recognized years back with their prior works is a dream of mine in my earliest times in the fandom.

Seriously check out the beyond shapes & beats fanzine project

It has some incredible art from a variety of contributors, including some animations, written works & even a custom song.

I am glad to be apart of this special community project, tied to my biggest inspiration for the past 6 years.

I'm going to be a little more frequent here. (at least try too)

I got a bunch more shapeling drawings from my sparkdreamers project i'm going to share, including the new revised lore planed..

But before that, i might have something planed for my three aliases... [=I w I=]

[beyondshapesandbeatszine]

With only 3 weeks left until the release of the Beyond Shapes & Beats fanzine, we want to introduce you all to our wonderful team of 50+ artists, writers, animators, and more!

Hiya dreamers (gonna need to post more often here) [=O-O=]

So I've taken part in the @beyondshapesandbeatszine fanzine project for the past few months now, and I'm so excited for everyone to see the final result!!

It's been an great time working on my main piece & seeing all the amazing art from the various contributors.

I'll share my story with this game more in depth on the future post, but I'm so happy to take part in this project with a game that inspired my love for edm music & my shapeling artstyle.

Hope you all look forward to the final result from everyone later this month!!! [=>u<=]

=The Main Roster of sparkdreamers= [Ref Sheets + Group Heights]

Hiya dreamers, and at last, i've completed my main roster of shapelings, ref sheets and all. [=0U0=]

=The Dreamwonders=

=The Guardians=

=The Dark Seekers=

i am so happy with how everyone turned out, weeks of work on top of the years i've spent bringing these characters to life

i hope you all enjoy these characters as much as i've enjoyed drawing them 

i can finally rest & start to do some fun drawings moving forward!!!!!!! [=>o<=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

=My first experience with Art Fight= [pt. 2 the Defenses]

Hiya dreamers.

With the results of the winning team reveled, i thought is the perfect time to showcase the second part of my art fight experience, the attacks i've received back [=OuO=]

(ps. for any who's haven't seen my attacks, here's a link to the first part. =pt. 1 - the Attacks=)

So i'm going to showcase all of the art i've received back as either attacks or revenges from others.

Qu :) - This first one is of Qu, coming from DarkComets, i liked how they've captured him & the way they have captured his magic aura had inspired an updated change when i've redesigned him next.

Where There's Chaos... - this next one comes from LocalStickman, i liked how they've captured prizm here, alongside their oc. the piece gives me a stained glass kind of feel. Finally, i can say this drawing had inspired the overall idea of drawing some of my shapelings with others oc's in my attacks.

Skyler ! - this next one coming from isaacc0s, i've really been liking other peoples takes on my characters, i like how they done a humanized take on skyler, while keeping some of the aspects of her base design

Revenge: Skyler - back to back skyler drawing, this second one comes from softservesoymilk, i've received this attack as a revenge after i've tackled one of their oc's, i liked how they captured skyler here in a more simple like art style, akin to scribblenauts & kirby's dream land 3.

Well City Refractions - Alley, Seeker of of Final Answer and Cyrus, Seeker of Story End [2025] - So this one comes from TenebrisTortune, and they have made some of my personal favorite attacks i've received, the unique takes on alley & Cyrus are great & the little story they've made is quite nice.

I've also received two more attacks from them, during & after art fight, with their takes on Pyrax & vayra.

nyehehheh revenge battle - so this drawing by LazyDark is essentially a continuation of the attack I've done of their oc & mine.

Funnily enough, this drawing captured the initial idea i was going to do for my attack, so i'm happy that concept has been captured in their piece.

Ｊ～クー（最愛Ｊ） - this drawing of qu comes from rikoki as an revenge from my attack, i love how they captured qu, with the little drawings beside & a little feature of their oc too.

Subway Ride - this mass attack from skedizzle is quite a fun one, i love how they captured pyrax in their style, and the overal image is quite a fun one.

the lightbringer - the final attack i've received was this alley drawing from FluffySpaces, they have actually been a follower of mine, who i wasn't aware were doing art fight, so it was quite a welcomed surprise. i love how they captured her [=>u<=]

2025 has honestly been one of my best years in terms of my art side, it feels like i've finally found my place in this space, from my art style finally taking shape, my characters reaching that desired look, & i felt like i've broken free from the bubble i've encased myself for all of those years.

Art Fight had helped me expand my horizons in terms of meeting new people, seeing all of the art & being inspired.

I'm honored to draw many peoples characters & to receive their own takes on mine.

I want to say thank you to everyone who's done art of my characters & to anyone who decided to reed all of this.

I plan to fully take part next year with hopefully a finalized roster & a better understanding of the overall event

thank you [=UuU=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

=the first spark=

"When the first stars begin to fall, and the storms of fate begins to shift"

"Three dreamers would unite under the glow of a shooting star"

"Together, they are the first sparks of the dreamwonders"

Hiya dreamer, i'm here with one of my first landscape drawings in a good while.

So one of the goals of the art style, is to create a world that has a distinct, dream-like feel that complments my geometric characters.

This drawing serves as a good taster for what i want to capture for the realm of dreamcadia, with starry skies, open fields & bioluminescent trees. 

Lore-wise, this serve as the beginning of the dreamwonders, with Qu, Blaze & Skyler being the first members, followed by alley after her reawakening & later on astra.

I'm really happy with how this drawing turned out. I like capturing the overall colours and the overall composition for the piece. [=>u<=]

Similar to my last drawing, this has been another remake of a drawing i've done in the past, the context of the prior version was to draw is like a album cover, however i wanted to make the new one more dedicated to the illustration itself.

Other then that, hope you enjoy this one, i plan to make an original drawing for my next piece, either another landscape drawing like this, or a character based drawing. [=OuO=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

=My first experience with Art Fight= [pt. 1 the attacks]

Hiya dreamers.

So i think now's the prefect time to share all the work i've done for nearly all of july.

For any who's isn't in the know, i've recently took part in my first ever art fight.

for a quick explanation, art fight is a month long community event where people can draw each others OC's, receive drawing of their oc's back, and just in general, have a fun time cerebrating the creation of original character, fandom or original.

I was exposed to the existence of art fight from someone over on one of my friends discord server, and given i've been working on my art style for a good while + i've been beginning to share my work around the web. So i though it was the perfect opportunity to share my characters & get the chance to flex my style and draw others characters.

So i'll be making two posts, one of all the attacks i've done, and another for all the attacks i've received. I'll be crediting all of the people i've done / received attacks from, and i'll be linking any who has tumblr.

prepare for a long post, cause it's a big one

for this year, there were two teams, Crystals vs Fossils, i've chosen crystals, due to it fitting quite well with my art style, and i've gotten my base roster at the time set up ready to be drawn.

It was also at the time where i was shifting my art style to the more humanoid look, as appose to the chess piece body, which also gave me a great opportunity to get more use to the style and to get more use to it.

But without further ado, let's get into the attacks. [=>u<=]

So in total, i've done around 14 attacks, many took around 3 to 4 hours to do, though i've mainly done around 1 to 2 a day. I've also taken breaks on the weekends to work on some of my own drawings & to further experiment with the style.

Finally, although i wish i got to continual drawing attacks, i got sidetracked in the last couple of weeks, due to feeling a little burned out, attending my hospital appointments & going through my leg operation.

but despite that, i've been quite happy with what've achieved with the time i have, and i wanted to ensure that every attack had the same amount of polish & quality that all my art has.

=Attack 1= - Infinis. - by Infinis

so this was my very first attack i've done for the event.

i've loved the overall design of infinis's persona, so this was a nice drawing to kickstart the event.

This has also been the starting point of the overall drawing format i've been using since, with a 4000x4000 canvas size.

=Attack 2= - Inigo Valere-Vervain. by softservesoymilk

so they have been one of the first people i've seen art off when i've joined the art fight server on discord, so they have been on my radar

i liked the look on Inigo's design, the use of blues, the story connected to him & the overall design peaked my interest.

Plus their comment have been quite nice [=ouo=]

=Attack 3= - =Multiversal Conversation= Universal Keeper. feat. Pyrax. by Skye_Foxxe [Friendly Fire]

So for my third drawing, i wanted to do something a little special, so i've done a duo drawing of the universe keeper & one of my shapelings, Pyrax.

"Both beings share a purpose of keeping balance in their respective worlds, one who maintains the universe, another who keeps the timeline in check, all so the world's natural order can flow"

This was a fun little drawing to do, quite liked doing the universe keeper's design, with the galaxy & constellations within his outfit, and his overall colour scheme pairs nicely with pyrax's golden robes. [=>u<=]

=Attack 4= - Wiggle. - by ChebbsLY

Now this one a really fun drawing to do, wiggle's design is a simply fun experience with the color pallet & line art.

Also wanted to try out a more expressive pose to represent the characters personality, and i'll say it went really well [=>u<=]

Quite happy with how it all turned out [=OUO=]

=Attack 5= - Chronosti. by DarkComets [Revenge]

After receiving DarkComets attack on Qu, i took it upon myself to tackle one of their characters.

I've chosen chronosti for the nice use of gradients i can take advantage of, and never less I'm quite happy with the end result [=>u<=]

"the first week went nicely, i was mainly learning the ropes of the overall process, and i've got the format down"

=Attack 6= - Mint. by Sejr

Staring with the second week, i wanted to branch my style a little

So i've tackled my first anthro in the shapeling style, so it was an interesting challenge

Did had fun doing her colours & overall design [=>u<=]

=Attack 7= - =aethereal dreamscape= Dreamy. feat. Qu. by noriya-aria

My second duo drawing with my main boy, qu.

I've stumbled upon noriya's art and found it quite interesting with how they've used music as an inspiration for creating illustrations with atmosphere & world building. (An direction i wanted to incorporate in my own work for some time) [=>u<=]

I also wanted to point out their comment for giving me some encouragement & their overall point of view with incorporating music with art. [=>u<=]

=Attack 8= - Celestina. by TenebrisTortune. [Friendly Fire]

for this drawing i've wanted to do a darker piece to spice up my overall roster of attacks.

So i've chosen Celestina for her distinct colour pallet & design.

Had alot of fun drawing her, from her wings, black & white design & the overall tone of the drawing.

They have also been making some great takes on my characters in their world, which you'll get to see on the second post.

=Attack 9= - Blue. by xtrapolis100 [Friendly Fire]

Last attack of the second week, i Wanted to experiment a little with doing a sitting pose, and i'm quite happy with the end result

I quite liked the colours and composition on this one [=>u<=]

"the second week had gone well, i've started to play around with composition more and poses"

=Attack 10= - =Mages= Ashley Dogxim Foxhound feat. Sora & Nova. by Art3Onxy

Third duo drawing.

So this drawing took longer then expected. (mainly due to me being sidetracked again... [=@~@=]) But i had alot of fun drawing ashley.

Given her mage background, it felt fitting paring her with my star caster sora & their starbi, Nova

So i've encountered onxy before when i was doing my first reddit art trades, so it's nice to tackle one of their characters again.

=Attack 11= - Helen. by hexqbug (Transffjeffdr) [Friendly Fire]

So this particular drawing tailors to my interest in bright, colorful characters & EDM music.

I've seen this OC on the Monstercat discord server, and i was waiting on the potential chance to draw her at some point.

Never less this has become one of my best drawings i've done so far, given the incentive to try something a little different [=>u<=]

from the base character design, the chair (which took long [=@~@=]) and even the addition of various feed me art covers as a final touch

This drawing had also inspired a little side project i can do, of drawing various edm artists in my shapeling style.. [=OuO=]

=Attack 12= - Mechy. by Rikoki

Found this little goober during my search of OC on the art fight discord server

With this being a kirby styled characters, with the bright colours, felt like a nice fit to my overall style

Also got to experiment a little with the clouds & smoke

i had alot of fun drawing him, from the cannons to the hair, it was an absolute delight [=>u<=]

=Attack 13= - =Generals of War= Sylas, feat. Sidious by LazyDark

Wanted to try my hand at another darker OC, while also throwing one of my own in

Both sylas & sidious share similar attributes & narratives, which i find quite interesting

Had a lot of fun drawing the two together and creating this gloomy atmosphere in the piece

=Attack 14= - Kinetic by Kinyxo

So, kickstarting my final week of art fight, with my simplest & quickest attack i've done for the whole event.

This has been a characters i've seen around the Original characters subreddit for some time, and after seeing him appear in one of my art trade posts, i knew it was a matter of time for me to tackle him

i had fun drawing him, from the simple shapes to the speed-like aura around, it was a nice, quick drawing to start the week...

Unfortunately, due to being bombarded with two hospital appointments back to back & from that point, being a little drained creatively from that point, i didn't get the chance to finish the rest of my bookmark list.

But i at least had fun doing this event as a whole.

It's so nice to see all the nice comments from everyone about the overall style & piece as a whole.

And overall, i'm glad to provide the bit of happiness to others & to see my characters being taking in different directions with others styles.

Neverless i'm definitely looking forward to next years art fight, to try and tackle more oc's all month long & to have my now complete roster of characters represented.

Until then, thank you for checking out this post, and i hope you looking forward to the next. [=>u<=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

=a group of unlikely friends=

hiya dreamers, back again

And I'm here with my first full art drawing in a good while.

So this is a group drawing of my main group of shapelings, the dreamwonders.

I wanted to make this drawing a nice little intro to the artstyle and the characters, and neverless, i'm so happy with the end result [=>u<=]

Being able to unite these little goobers togeather is the most rewarding thing after spending neally three months finalizing all the characters.

Long story short, i plan to make many more quite soon, including some interactions with the other groups & maybe some lore related drawings. [=OuO=]

one thing i'm going to do for my drawings from now on, is provide some sketches of the overall process & maybe even some timelapse (though, currently i'm trying to figure that out)

So here's the initial sketch of the drawing and the individual shapeling layer, mainly due to them taking a lot of ram space, so i've exported the drawings into a new canvas.

Other then that, hope you enjoy this drawing, i'm quite proud of it [=>u<=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

=The final designs of the main roster of shapelings=

hiya everyone, it's been a bit, but as the title says, this post contains the final designs of the main roster of characters i've made for my project, sparkdreamers.

With a total of 16 characters, three groups & one shared realm, i present the shapelings of dreamcadia.

Starting off, i have created some new updated icons to represent the official roster of characters. i've built upon the first versions i've made & refined the looks and include a couple new faces. [=OuO=]

First off are =the dreamwonders=.

Design wise, qu, blaze, skyler & alley mostly remain the same with some final adjustments, but to spice things up, i've repurposed an old oc i've had in the past and reform them into Astra.

I'm quite happy with how everyone turned out here, fitting in astra completed the JSAB influence the main team comprise off, and i'm so excited to do a group drawing of them all soon.

Next up is =the Guardians=

i've taken the time to fully polish the looks of everyone here, with kiro's half shoulder, half cape look finally figured out, refining the designs of sora / nova, cassie, pyrax & veela, and completing the group with newest member, Aqua.

I'm quite happy with the half cool / half walm coloured group, with the way they contrast between the dreamwonder & dark seekers and each other, satisfies me.

Finally but not least, are =The Dark Seekers=

four of the core members, only had some simple / fine tweaks (Prizm, Sidious, Shade & Cyrus) while vayra received one more design change to give her a more ghostly, withered appearance, which i'm quite happy with the colours on her.

Never less, i can't wait to draw them along with the others in some cool drawings.

I'm so happy with everyone's designs, i can now confidently say everyone has their perfect looks to the vision i see them all at.

while i haven't done any ref sheets for them individually, at this point with how many time i've done that in the past, i'm going to leave that be. (that way i can actually do some drawings)

One thing i will do at some point to create some side characters to pair with the main characters (and some of my other shapelings from my sister project)

before i go, i do have something else.

recently i've uncovered character hub (a website where you can create detailed profiles of all your OC's) and i've spent the past couple of days assembling all the profile's of everyone you see here.

You'll see all of their details & lore, relations, colour pallet, and even a collection of old art tied to the characters so you can see the evolution of their designs (and see the endless pain i've subjective myself too [=Q~Q=])

(Ps. not all of the lore presented in the profiles are final, at some point i'll make some personal changes as the project progress's. so take the info as a rough direction for where the character could go.)

Hope you enjoy everything presented here, with art fight over & the designs finished, i can finally get around to doing more bigger drawings, while also getting myself together in real life.

See ya on the other side.

[romellodyisdreaming]

Hiya everyone.

Thought i'll break the silence with something i've done a couple of months ago.

So one of my goals for this project was to tell my story through a comic format, so this is a proof of concept for one of the scenes for chapter 1 of the story.

It was my first time tackling a comic format digitally so it was a fun little challenge

due to the limits of my past art style & my situation at the time, i've only wounded up with two panels

it was actually based of an earlier drawing i've done around a year before when i was developing the overall ideas for where i wanted to take the project

It'll be a while before i tackle another panel, but i do plan to create a rough draft of the overall chapter in the future.

Other then that, hope you enjoy a little snippet of what's to come from me in future.

Before i go i just want to give a quick update about how i've been the past couple of weeks.

Long story short, i've finally had my second operation to remove the frame around my left leg, so now i'm starting to somewhat walk again. (I'll properly talk more about that in a future post...)

Secondly, i've been wrapping up my art fight attacks, and i can't wait to show you all what i've done & what I've received [=>u<=] (i'll make that post in a couple of days time)

Finally, i've been making some more additional changes to my shapelings, so new group references & sheets are bound to come, but i do have some new faces i've been working on [=OuU=]

I'm also working of various character profiles over on character hub, each including some old drawings of many of my characters, lore & overall just a nice place where i can have all of my characters under the same roof. (I'll share that along with the design of all the groups)

I'll see you all again on the other side.

[romellodyisdreaming]

hiya dreamers, been a bit, but thought i'll share a drawing i've done during my weekend break from art fighting.

This is a drawing of one of my main shapelings, qu. i wanted to represent his overall character & vibe in the same format as i've been doing all my art attacks. (mainly as an experiment to get more use to the style)

Since my style has shifted to a more humanoid form, many of my drawings has seen a big step up in quantity, with this qu drawing being a good example of how far i've come.

I've been having alot of fun doing art fight so far, to see all the positive responses from people & to receive art back has truly put a smile on my face, and it made all my years of refined style searching all the more worth it. [=OuO=]

i plan to showcase all my attacks i've done & received at the end of the month (not sure if i'll upload them here or my side blog, but i'll decide from then)

Hope you all enjoy this drawing on qu, i'm quite happy with how it turned out & i plan to do more soon [=>u<=]

[romellodyisdreaming]

hiya dreamers.

After a few weeks of non-stop work, i've finally completed the main roster of shapelings from the sparkdreamers project.

this post will showcase everyone's ref sheets, i've done. as well as a little announcement..

=The Dreamwonders= (Qu, Blaze, Skyler & Alley)

“Born from echoes & Bounded by belief. We'll carve a future the old world forgot.”

The Dreamwonders are a new generation of heroes rising from the ashes of the Great Calamity. United not by blood, but by fate, they wield inherited magic, ancient truths, and the raw spark of wonder. Where others seek to reclaim power, they seek to understand it—and to protect those still dreaming in a world unraveling.

=The Guardian Order= [last light] (Kiro, Sora / Nova, Cassie, Pyrax & Veela)

“We were not forged to rule—but to remember. To stand between ruin and renewal.”

The Guardians were once Dreamcadia’s sacred protectors—beings of immense power, ancient duty, and living legacy. Each was chosen not for might alone, but for balance. Though scattered and scarred after the Collapse, they endure—guiding, shielding, and, when needed, rising once more to face what remains.

=The Dark Seekers= (Prizm, Sidious, Shade, Cyrus & Veyra)

“You can’t kill a dream. But you can unmake it.”

The Dark Seekers are not conquerors—they are unravelers. Each member is a fallen ideal, a corrupted truth, a soul twisted not by evil, but by clarity too sharp to bear. They don’t destroy the world by fire. They whisper to it until it collapses on its own. To them, collapse is not failure—it is freedom.

I'm so happy with how they all turned out, i can finally rest with the character design. (for now...)

but in the meantime, i do have an exciting think i'll be doing next month

I'M JOIING MY FIRST ART FIGHT THIS YEAR!!!

whiles developing the final designs of all my shapelings, i've also been preparing for art fight

I'm apart of team crystals, due to how well it fit's my art style, & because shiny things.

I have all my OC's up with some lore insights on them, and i'm currently been bookmarking, prepping & praying.

Art Fight

An art gifting game

I'm super excited to try something new since this'll be my first time, it's a little scary, but i can't wait to draw other peoples oc's in my artstyle, and see other's takes on my characters.

Other than that, hope you all enjoy hopefully the last designs i'll every do for my characters for a good while.

It's been a journey, but i'm really excited to finally start developing more of my world & story once i get around. (i'll probably do some drawings on the project in the weekends, since I'll primary do art attacks in the weekdays.)

Thank you for sticking around, & i'll see you on the other side. 💫

"it's time to run it back"

so i'm deciding to restart my project & style...

it's been a decision that has plagued me in the past, due to burnout, being lost with a certain focus & letting my perfectionist mindset take over me.

but this time is a little different

i've been so happy with the progress i've made so far, as i get closer & closer to the dream & vision i had for years now.

so i've decided to dedicated this change to refining my shapeling art style, give them a more humanoid shape that will aid in more expressive poses & to create more engaging characters.

hope you enjoy this rough diagram of what i plan to do with the shapeling style (even if i have to redraw everyone again, [=QuQ=])

Also you may notice a rough drawing sketch underneath, well let's just say it's an upcoming drawing i plan to share soon [=OuO=]

"the dreamwonders against the great calamity"

[romellodyisdreaming]

Hiya Dreamers.

So if you notice the massive amount of posts, well the day has come.

Today i've officially finished the main roster of shapelings from my sparkdreamers project.

Since there's so much characters to showcase, with all their lore, i've decided to make multiple posts.

This post will act as the main place for all of the posts today, until i make a proper welcome post.

hope you all enjoy what's presented here. [=>u<=]

The Dreamwonders.

The Guardians.

The Dark Seekers.

✦ Veyra. ⬣

Title: The Thorned Queen Age: Once timeless | Height: 7’7” Gender: Female | Pronouns: She / Her Personality: Coldly Elegant Element: Decay / Twisted Nature Alignment: Neutral Evil

✧ Quote ⬣

"What you call rot, I call rebirth."

✧ Theme Songs ⬣

Valkyrie I - Varien

LULLABY - PhaseOne & HVDES

✧ Lore ⬣

Veyra was once a Guardian of Renewal—a radiant force of nature tasked with healing the land and nurturing life after battle. Her gift was growth; her purpose, rebirth. Forests bloomed in her footsteps. Villages healed under her care. She believed that nature, at its core, always found a way forward.

But when the Great Calamity came, the natural order shattered.

While others rallied to fight, Veyra sought to protect an ancient grove said to be the heart of the world’s balance. There, she was deceived by one she trusted most—Shade—who lured her away under false visions of salvation. And while she fought illusions, Prizm reached the grove first.

By the time she returned, it was too late. The heart was corrupted. The land cried out. And Veyra… broke.

Twisted by grief, guilt, and the creeping tendrils of Prizm’s chaos, Veyra became something else—neither alive nor fully lost. She shed her title as Guardian and embraced the withering truth: that decay is not the end of nature, but part of its cruel beauty.

Now, as the Thorned Queen of the Dark Seekers, Veyra commands vines of rot, petals of poison, and forests that bleed. Her beauty is haunting. Her voice, like wind through dead branches. She speaks little, but when she does, it's with bitter wisdom—like someone who’s seen the world’s lies root too deep.

She does not kill indiscriminately. She lets the world wither on its own.

✧ Weapons & Powers ⬣

• Verdigrave – A barbed scythe grown from the corrupted worldroot; spreads decay with each strike. • Thornswarm – Unleashes a flurry of blood-thorns that bloom midair and seek vital points. • Cradle of Rot – Envelops the battlefield in choking vines and bramble walls. • Witherhex – Accelerates the decay of objects, weapons, or even flesh. • Deathbloom – Summons a massive, blooming blossom that explodes into spores of madness.

✧ Relationships ⬣ • Shade – Her betrayer. Though she no longer openly speaks of it, the pain of his deception defines her. She follows his orders, but trust between them is forever ash. • Prizm – The one who showed her what nature truly is: cruel, consuming, and beautiful in its destruction. She sees him not as master, but as muse.

✧ Notable Facts ⬣

• Once nurtured the eastern regions of Dreamcadia before the Calamity. • Was one of the first to sense Alley's reawakening. • Wears a crown of living thorns and decayed flowers—ever-shifting with her mood. • Often trailed by corrupted wildlife and decayed spirit-creatures born from broken lands.

✧ Enemies ⬣

Cassie – Former protégé. Veyra once guided her in elemental control and inner peace. Their battles now are silent elegies—Cassie fights to heal what Veyra let die.

Sora – Respected him as a fellow Guardian of balance. Now sees him as naïve, clinging to hope she long abandoned.

Pyrax: A living tether to what she once believed. His very presence reminds her of the choice she made… and the cost of it.

◈ Closing Line ⬣

Veyra believes nature was never kind—only masked in beauty. She does not seek annihilation, but transformation. Let the old world rot. Let the new one bloom from the bones.

✦ Cyrus. ●

Title: The Speed Demon Age: 18   | Height: 6’4” (but rarely still) | Gender: Male Pronouns: He / Him Personality: Wildly Unhinged Element: Velocity / Chaos Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

✧ Quote ●

"Blink and I’ve already smashed your future."

✧ Theme Songs ●

CYBERHELL – Eptic

BARRICADE – REAPER

✧ Lore ●

Where velocity becomes violence and chaos takes form, there you’ll find Cyrus—the razored blur, the temporal anomaly, the storm that grins. He isn’t a warrior. He’s entropy wrapped in a grin. A living exploit in reality's code.

Born as the byproduct of a classified acceleration project, Cyrus wasn’t so much created as unleashed. He was forged in a lab that sought to bind motion itself—to weaponize time through biomechanical augmentation and velocity cores. But the experiment was a failure in the eyes of its creators. Cyrus didn't bend to control. He shattered it.

On the day of his escape, he broke sound, steel, and time itself—moving so fast he phased through walls, guards, and even memory. What emerged wasn’t human. It was momentum given thought. He left a crater where the facility once stood, along with a trail of fractured seconds that still haven’t healed.

Now, Cyrus races across the world like a streak of thunderous rebellion, warping through battlefields for the thrill of destruction. His loyalty to Prizm isn’t bound by belief—it’s amusement. Prizm is the only one who doesn't ask him to slow down.

His fights are a blur. His attacks arrive before awareness. And yet, for all his chaos, there’s a flicker of something deeper—a boy who once wanted to belong, now lost behind speed, laughter, and ruin.

✧ Relationships ◈

• Prizm – Entertains him. Gives him freedom. That’s enough. • Sidious – Too stiff. Cyrus enjoys making his battles messy. • Shade – Uneasy respect. Doesn’t trust how silent he is. • Veyra – Calls her “Tree Beast.” He dodges her roots with glee.

✧ Weapons & Powers ●

• Crashkiss – A towering hammer laced with inertia coils, capable of condensing and releasing momentum on impact. • Velocity Blades – Floating, hypersharpened fragments that orbit him, reacting to movement like twitching nerves. • Time Skim – Skips through space like a glitch, bypassing obstacles and enemies in nanosecond blinks. • Rift Slam – Accelerates downward in a sonic dropkick, causing terrain to ripple from the impact. • Overclock Frenzy – Temporarily accelerates brain and body beyond human limits; unpredictable, devastating, and nearly impossible to counter.

✧ Rivalry ●

Cyrus vs. Blaze – The Wildfire vs. the WhirlwindTheir conflict is more than elemental—it’s personal.

Cyrus once crossed paths with Blaze during a Guardian raid that disrupted a Dark Seeker stronghold. What began as a chaotic brawl turned into a rivalry so explosive it warped the battlefield itself. Blaze's raw, focused flame clashed against Cyrus's unrelenting momentum—and for once, someone kept up.

Cyrus was thrilled. Blaze was furious. And neither has forgotten.

To Cyrus, Blaze is “the angry one with a stick up his soul”—predictable, focused, and endlessly fun to mess with. To Blaze, Cyrus is a walking catastrophe—reckless, mocking, and a danger that can't be reasoned with.

Their battles are a blur of fire and flash, often leaving destruction in their wake long after both vanish.

They don’t need to speak to know when a rematch is coming. They feel it in the air: heat and static, clashing on the edge of war.

✧ Enemies ●

Alley – Calls her “blinky.” Likes racing her, mid-fight

Blaze – His favorite enemy. Their clash is legendary.

Sora – Thinks their uptight. Taunts them just to see her frown.

✧ Notable Facts ●

• Escaped an experimental time research facility, leaving only temporal wreckage behind. • Has no known biological time signature—clocks often break in his presence. • Wears custom shades to anchor his perception in normal spacetime. • Regularly breaks the sound barrier just to make an entrance.

✧ Closing Line ⬟

Cyrus is no longer concerned with how time flows, his past, or his future

He only longs for the present, to be seen as someone who exists.

But when the world finally catches up to him... it won’t find a man. Just the static, the speed, and the ghost of a laugh still echoing through the ruin.
