Hey friends, I'm back with a Julian! I remember drawing a similar one, but this one is far more superior. I had fixated on something else, which is why I hadn't been posting much Arcana stuff.
I've been gone a while, and I decided to come back to play the Arcana again, only to find the app got worse. Seriously? I'm sure it's been like this for a while, but I have to scroll down for the stinkin dailies. The pop up ads were already bad, but like... I can't
This is so sad. And I've heard about the news with all of the artists being striked for art and fan content. I can't believe Dorian would do that. But maybe I should. Because they don't really care, they just want money. And I hate that they have to shit all over a beloved game that a lot of us cherish, just to make a quick buck. So sad. I love the game for its characters and rich story. Not for the BS they added for advertising their own app. What a shame.
I don't know if it's true, but I keep hearing something about them taking down the app. Is that true? Man, I just want to enjoy this game without all this crap. Thanks, Dorian.
Dorian, go do something anatomically improbable with yourself.
The Main Six! (Left: Asra, Julian and Nadia/Right: Muriel, Portia and Lucio
Guess who got into Kandi making? Me. Wanted to make some Arcana inspired singles (cause that's all I can make lol)
So I went with the most obvious characters:the ones you can date in game.... Duhhh....
(I'm gonna make more, maybe the courtiers next???)
(Read for more photos and explanation)
Asra: I chose a heart charm that has a smaller heart inside of it for... Obvious plot reasons. Then the teal and purple because I think teal is their favorite color? I think? And purple because that's what I see when I think about him. Star beads because magic. Also, the little white tri-beads kinda look like bones from the side, so take that as you will.
Nadia: I picked an owl charm for her because it could either represent Chandra or The High Priestess. Her colors are mainly her color palette, and most of the beads are pearlesent.
Julian: There wasn't a raven, but this bird that kinda looks like a hummingbird? Whoops, I just couldn't find anything else that reminded me of him. So the bird is supposed to represent either Malak, The Hanged Man or a plague doctor mask (the beak is long lol) This one is pretty plain, having black beads in the back and two ab finish black beads in the front. And the red.
Muriel: You can't really see it in this angle, but I picked a house charm, because it reminds me of his little hut in the woods. Also Muriel's a home body. Used the tri-beads again for the same purpose as Asra. Chose big blocky letters because it better suits his vibe. And then more earthy tones, with the black ab beads for his cloak.
Portia: A cat charm to represent either Pepi or The Star. Star beads because The Star. Then the rest of it is just her color palette. (Don't know a whole lot about her, sorry)
Lucio: I picked a crown charm because... Because he's the count. Also it's so ugly, I honestly dislike his bracelet, despite him being my favorite character. I chose those awful gold beads because, let's be honest, Lucio would love that. Picked them because they were kinda over the top. (Originally was going to use the same letter beads as Asra and Nadia.) Uses small red beads and two faceted yellow beads at the front (looks like gems). The rest is his color palette, although it's mainly ab, pearl and glitter colors other than the red, which is solid. I made his bracelet ugly on purpose because he would probably have something like that. (Oh, he has his necklace haha)
Them all laid out together
Then all of them on my arm
Anyways, that's it for now! If you stayed to read all of that, thank you! I liked trying to come up with meanings behind them and designing each one.
thinking abt lucio in his upright ending except hes a liiiitlee morally gray, just a twinge, just a slight, just a tad bit
maybe he takes on bounties? something like that? idk he still kills... kinda, ish- his hands are not clean, no longer drenched in blood BUT theres a smudge of it
would be funny tho if asra just came across a wanted poster of aries and lucio and a list of their crimes
I have this head cannon where so like during the plague when Asra and Julian were together in their really toxic relationship, that often times, Asra would hallucinate. And if they were around Julian, they would hallucinate it being the apprentice. So even if they were doing "things", Asra would get caught up with it and see his apprentice instead. I imagine they finally broke it off when Asra got up during it and had a freak out.
So that's my thought. I think it makes things all the more messed up, considering Asra didn't like Julian the way Julian did and they were so hung up on the apprentice.
Also I tried lighting just for practice. Turns out I need more practice. Also I tried to give him some white hairs. We need more Lucio with white hairs.
Not me watching The Amazing Digital Circus and then thinking about how since the Arcana is a game, what if there was an AU where our character (The Apprentice) was just playing it on their phone when they got transferred to it.
And then all of the main 6 were once people too before they got trapped in the game. And they are all stuck and trying to figure out how to escape the game. And since it's a romance game you could still follow a route/routes....
Lol, then there would be a meta reason for the Apprentice's amnesia...
