SOLAYS

OC artist | character art, creature design, and occasional Bleach/Aizen posts.

[solays]

A small intro.

This blog will mostly be for my original characters, creature and dragon designs, redesigns, sketches, and occasional lore or writing fragments.

There will probably also be some Bleach-related posts here and there, including Aizen.

Team Tragedy? More like Team Purple. ✦

A little revenge-revenge for Auspice on Art Fight, featuring Rhizon and Sol.

I almost never draw chibis, so simplifying Rhizon while still keeping that monumental presence of his was a really fun exercise. I also happened to finish Sol’s matured true form right around then, so obviously I had to draw her immediately. :D

Rhizon belongs to Auspice. Sol belongs to me.

And a closer look at Sol’s new form because I’m still completely obsessed with her. <3

Art Fight 2026 ✦ Team Tragedy

My AF profile: https://artfight.net/~SOLAYS

First year participating, so I’ll be taking it casually between commissions.

Dragons, monsters, humanoids, sci-fi horror, and biomechanical designs are especially welcome.

See you there <3

Anatomy practice. Hands are still hell.

Soft on the surface. Dangerous underneath.

[OC] Iblis

Restarted this piece several times to find a workflow that felt right.

Iblis’s crimson mass is soft and semi-transparent, yet dense enough to handle contact with the ground. Smooth to the touch, and noticeably warmer than the rest of his body.

[OC] Apophis on Asphodel My first finished 3D mini-project!! Still very much a beginner in 3D, but I’m genuinely happy with how this turned out.

This is Asphodel — a planet wrapped in the remains of a colossal biomechanical god.

Pipeline: ZBrush — sculpt Substance Painter — textures Blender — lighting, atmosphere, stars, compositing, and render

“Even if they called it “geology,” the eyes refused to agree.”

Ksarkhael.

Another one of my cosmic creatures. One of the five biomechanical gods in the setting.

This reference still isn’t final and there’s more to refine, but I already like the balance between the organic and mechanical sides.

The gods’ main instrument is the sickle. The black part of the body acts as an additional shell for Eonis, serving as insulation and protection.

older Aizen art

This piece is from 2024. Still want to draw more of his anniversary design at some point.

[ design upd. ] Sol.

I’ve been reworking her second form for months.

I wanted to push it away from a more literal monster design and toward something more amorphous and cosmic. Version 3 feels the closest so far, but it still isn’t final.

Still slowly refining the arms and surface details.

Как неожиданно вас здесь увидеть ! помню вас еще по дракон-аску в ВК , умбра был моим любимчиком <3

О, ничего себе!! ;;

Очень неожиданно и очень приятно, что вы меня помните ещё по аску, и особенно Умбру. <3

Он, кстати, уже успел сильно поменяться по дизайну с тех времён.

Apophis

old sketch.

Iblis redesign.

His wet membranes usually have a wine-pink tint, but right before takeoff when the wings charge the air he flashes ultramarine for a few seconds.

He has no feathers. The white parts are rigid keratin membrane-shields that can fan open to provide maximum lift and stability.

[solays]

Apophis.

one of the oldest and most important beings in Sol’s story.

drifting through the dark, looking for something worth devouring.
