[sapphire-the-dragon]

Hello all!

I don’t really have a main focus here haha, i just really enjoy drawing me and friend’s ocs so you will likely see that most of the time. I may make fanart of things that interest me though. My art mostly is just sketches and will likely be traditional, but I will throw in a colored piece every now and again ^^

I will take requests from time to time, so if they’re open feel free to send a request to my inbox! (Please keep in mind however that I will not draw NSFW, political/hate art, or anything LGBTQ+ related. thank you!)

Requests are currently: closed

I have a few other blogs if you’re interested in visiting as well:

(^ This is where I post questions about my ocs and their lore. I take asks on my main acc or there, feel free to ask me or my ocs directly if you’re curious)

(^ this is more of a work in progress but it’s basically info on my fictional species, WereCreatures. Nothings really set in stone there yet, I more have basic concepts of my story lore to keep myself organized)

(^incorrect quotes of me and my friends Hylian Hoonter and @mak-layne-yt’s ocs)

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, hope you have a good day/night!

THIS IS AN OC CHECKPOINT

give me 1 cool fact about your oc RIGHT NOW

[peony-pearl]

UPDATE it doesn't even have to be 'cool', give me a fact about ur oc!!!!

[sapphire-the-dragon]

my MC Claira is synesthetic, meaning she can see colors when she hears music

[sapphire-the-dragon]

Oh to live with the desperation to rant about your silly little hallucinations to whoever wants to listen yet to also have the desire to withhold as much lore as possible while still keeping them interested, all while barely being able to string together a coherent sentence on a good day

[sapphire-the-dragon]

This is the form you see when Claira and Kaidan decide to start working together for once. It finally has a name lol

[sapphire-the-dragon]

Jeez Claira is so detailed…..why do I do this to myself….

[general-book-nerd]

Hihi! I saw you had reblogged a oc question list and I got curious haha, could I have 14 and 43 for Kurabani if you want to answer, please?

Thank you for the ask!

14. She doesn't hold grudges per se, in that she's very quick to forgive, but she also doesn't have much confidence in others so if you mess up it's a long time before she'll trust you fully again.

43. Friends dying, failure , and abandonment.

[sapphire-the-dragon]

This is an old world building concept I had never managed to finish so I’m chucking it here. I’ve always loved the idea of alternate dimensions, and in this piece I was trying to map out my idea of the multiverse

when you gave your comic characters a big height difference and now you have to come up with a different cinematic angle for every panel otherwise they look like this

[paulinerspezicomics]

hihi!! I know it’s been a long while but I have been loving your art, you’re such a good artist <3. I have been wondering, what is the world building in your stories? Like what kind of creatures commonly live in your world, because Ive seen quite a variety in your art pieces haha. I’m also curious about your newest ocs, I’d love to know more about their personalities/backstories if you’re up to sharing.

that’s all for now, hope you have a good day/night!! ^^

hiii!!! Sorry for the late reply! 🥹

I actually had to think about this for a while cuz world building is not my strong suit hahah.

The creatures that live in my world are the following:

Humans of course, Plumaureae (the winged folk), the Holloways (the creatures with the masks on their faces), then we got Vampires who also live in my world, and they like to reside near Plumaurean villages because they like to drink their children's blood.

Then I also have Luonto, who is from a rather unknown species. He lives in the Hollow Valley Forest along with his apprentice, Liz. The Forest is where the Holloways live in, too. As for a backstory— I don't have that much yet...

What I thought about first was something like Luonto falling into a human trap and then being rescued by Liz, a very young child who got lost in the Forest. In turn, Luonto guided her out of the forest and made a promise with her: to teach her his magic once she's old enough.

And then she was old enough, and now she helps him with the forest and in turn she gets to learn magic. Her parents always belittled her because of her "naive imagination" but Luonto praises her for it, saying a healthy mind full of imagination is exactly what magic feeds in to grow strong and effective. So he always makes sure she has enough confidence in order for her spells to go well. (Tbh I created them while watching Witch Hat Atelier hahaha)

I also have my two musicians, Juliette and Jane. One is a pop idol, another a rockstar... never meant for watch other. But still, love finds its way into their hearts and they can't help yearning for each other. As you may know, Juliette likes to pretend to be a Plumaurean, but she's a fraud. Eryon actually catches wind of her by accident and wants to check it out with Ammy, but ends up disappointed when finding out she's not a real Plumaurean. But Ammy and Eryon realise she's doing it for a reason, and that the things aren't as they seem to be, so together they try to help her overcome her fears and insecurity, and manages to ask Jane out, etc. I included them too, cuz Jane's new and at.

But I also have that demon. This is basically just a design I thought of in case the demon succeeded in getting Eryon's heart it is after. Should it succeed and merge its body with it, that character sheet is what its appearance would be like. Yeah it doesn't really have a sad backstory. It's a demon and wants only destruction and does most things because it finds it funny or is bored.

____

Personality wise, Luonto is very serious about his duty and acts as a guardian or parental figure around Liz. He's very strong, but not stoic. He is also always up for a few jokes, and is generally seen as kind and forgiving, except when someone harms his forest or his disciple.

Liz is very cheerful and full of life. She's kind, energetic and very enthusiastic. She loves magic and is determined to do everything to learn it. She always works hard to study it and doesn't hesitate to lend a hand to people in need.

Jane, the rockstar, is a bit more secluded. She doesn't talk about herself often and struggles to open up to others. But once you get to know her better, she is like a waterfall and never stops talking! She's more hesitant to help others because she struggles to trust people, but other than that she is very passionate about her job and loves to make music.

The Demon is cunning and manipulative. It's selfish and uses its power against others, often harming them in the process. It doesn't really care about others, not even Lorelis whom it spent a lot of time with. I think you could compare him to Mephisto a bit– the devil from the book "Faust". It doesn't plan to take over the world or anything, though and merely wants to take Eryon's heart because it feels threatened by him, as the pure heart could kill it.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

I think that's all for now. Let me know if you have any more questions! I always smile when I see you liking my heart, and I very appreciate it🥹❤️❤️

I'm actually celebrating my birthday today, too, but I'll make sure to read your reply if you decide to :)* 💖

[sapphire-the-dragon]

Happy birthday!! Hope you’re having a good one so far ^^. This is all really cool too!! I can def understand not having everything figured out haha, I struggle with world building as well so it’s totally understandable. Love your stories, excited to see more from you!!!

[askthemultiverseguardian]

if anyone’s interested, send one or two of these to my inbox for my ocs Claira or Aventurine (or both). I’ll try to answer as soon as I can ^^

[sapphire-the-dragon]

Ya know, if you think about it, Claira and Kaidan’s dynamic is pretty similar to Goku and Vegeta’s

[sapphire-the-dragon]

No plot just Claira being unhinged

(⚠️ lotta blood for some of these)

Not all of these are finished but my motivation has been very inconsistent so I wanted to at least share a WIP in case I never finish them ;w;

anyways have a funny thing I made to make up for all the crazy (images below)

[sapphire-the-dragon]

WIP that I’m hoping to color. Trying to give my girl a proper reference sheet

[sapphire-the-dragon]

turns out, you can’t fix yourself alone no matter how hard you try

[askthemultiverseguardian]

I'll get uhhh a 1, 13 and 19 for Aventurine (and Claira too if pos)

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

    Funny enough in the early parts of developing Claira, I was pondering many different scenarios/designs. What originally sparked me creating her was a thought I got one day: “Ive seen a lot of different species of dragon that people have made, so why don’t I make one too?” 

    At first she more resembled what dragons/creatures look like in Pokémon, but after a awhile I started giving her more HTTYD design and she even was a WOF fan tribe at one point until I sort of scrapped that idea and made a concept that looks close to how she looks in present times. 

    I wanted to base her after a peacock and gave her all of my favorite colors, and once I really had a feel for what I wanted her to look like I started to work on designing other members of her kin, and that is partially how Aventurine was born. The other reason was that as I was developing Claira’s storyline, what is still very true today is that in canon Claira’s species Ikrystalu (full credit to my good friend Hylian Hoonter, she came up with the name) was very rare if not extinct.    

   Because Claira’s…circumstances would lead to her ending up with no family who could care for her and teach her, Aventurine was designed to fill in that role. He was not only meant to be the basic model for Ikrystalus (including height, name and colors, not so much the colors themselves but more how dark they are), but also Claira’s caregiver and teacher, someone who would be goofy and brother/father like to her since she’s way too serious for her own good and would need to lighten up sometimes lol

13. Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

  Ummm….i don’t really have a voice claim for Aventurine as of yet (it’s not something I think about often ;-;) but Claira…since I based her personality off of mine in a lot of ways I tend to imagine her sounding like me (if you want an example you can find that here). She’s naturally soft spoken due to having sensitive hearing, but she can get loud when the time calls for it.

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

    Right from the start I loved how highly dependable and affectionate Aventurine is. He’s the kind of person you can lean on when everything hurts so much, and he’d let you openly express your pain in however you feel comfortable and even offer a hug or a snack when you’re feeling up to it. I’d say for least favorite he tends to not share his pain, not in the distrustful way but more of just because he doesn’t want to be a bother. He’s rather allow others to talk about their problems rather than open up about his (boi I swear if you keep up this people pleaser habit of yours-)

    For Claira…I’d say her desire to do the right thing. People have mocked her for this but she will go great lengths to save other worlds even if it’s pointless, but she has never done it for the fame and fortune (not that she is offered that luxury anyway). It has always been a mix of instinct due to her position in the multiverse and a desire to prove to everyone and everything including herself that she is not a bloodthirsty monster many have claimed her to be. My least favorite would be her highly distrustful attitude. Starting before she was a year old, Claira has been through a lot of traumatic things. Because of that it’s very hard for her to make friends because she is either actively self-sabotaging by making herself unlikeable, or she is downright violent towards anyone who tries to be friendly with her. Girl is terrible at first impressions lol.

I hope this all makes sense haha, thanks so much for asking!!
