Just like the previous I decided to make some more Gijinkas, mostly of Box weapons that didn’t quite fit into the Vongola gear boxes but weren’t Millefiore or Varia, but basically the side characters who are allies. Also known as the misc boxes. I did edit some of the insect box weapons look to look a little more correctly shaped to their real life counterparts.

Vongola || Varia || Millefiore || Misc.

Below the cut is an explanation of my process when designing them.

Alphin It was actually pretty straight forward in how I wanted to get him done. the gloves work like fins and the scarf was for the tail, fairly easy to see, i made sure to make his shirt white for the under belly of the dolphin. Also just like Kojiro I had the pain of colour picking when it was covered in rain flame... pain. But I think he turned out well.

Zamza This one is a little more complex, but the hardest thing with this design was actually the fact that Zamza has 3 colours that are incredibly similar to each other. In the end I needed to add white in order to make the design work better. The whole hair is actually the centipede itself with the goggles being it’s eyes the bangs being the pincers and feelers and the tail being the second pair of feelers. However I also made the zipper on the coat more pronounced to make it more like little legs as well. The rest of the design was to more or less tie into an aesthetic that would fit the coat and goggles i think in the end she ended up looking good!

Scuderia This was a very fun one, except for oh you know, the drawing of the horse. The horse took so long I’m not gonna lie. ‘oh I should make the wings lineless flame! with feathers! that’ll looks so good’ it took four hours alone. Why did I do that. Any way, of course I needed to give Scuderia long flowing hair, and fur at the end of his coat for the tail. The finger less gloves of course are hooves to match with the cowboy boots. the extra bands and stuff are more to be reminiscent of reigns and such. and of course a cute lil wing decal on the back of his jacket.

Storm Scorpion Genuinely a shame Bianchi’s Box weapon doesn’t have a name. I get why since it’s a bunch of little ones. But was it not having a name going to stop me? no, because Bel’s for some reason is just mink I am not letting it stop me. Of course the helmet is to be the scorpion head with big eyes, and the hair the long tail of the scorpion. There’s only two sets pink legs for decal because all together with the actual limbs it counts as 8. I also clawed two of the gloves in order to make them more reminiscent of claws. Plus the armor and padding that comes with the motorcycle gear gives a more exoskeleton feel. You may be confused by the mouth scar that splits her mouth but it’s to evoke the mouth part of the scorpion which is split into two pieces. Funny enough the name Storm Scorpion does sound like a racer name now that I think of it-

Alphin and Verkea, they are an android made from nanotechnology called 'Aelirophide'. Their main function is to restore dead planet into a habitable one.

Despite have no cell structure and made purely of inanimated matter, they need to consume food to maintain temperature in order to function. However they are unable to digest ordinary salt and sugar which means they can only consume each other meat and blood(or carrier fuel if you prefer). Most Aelirophide pair up in salt and sugar to maintain their diet.

Both of them are genderless and prefers pronouns 'it/its'. Also it's might be hard to see in the ref but they have paper white skin.

And for their personality.....

Alphin Oakhorn

Info:

Face: Jack Lowden Age: unknown Occupation: King of the Fairies Gift: He can change his body, he can control the elements, he is very skilled in the fae magic, he is not as strong as his dad. Sexuality: Omni Position: Top-leaning, secretly submissive Gods Connection: Family:

Parents: Oberon Oakhorn (Laurence O'Fuarian) and Titania

Body Type:

Cock Size: 6.2 inches (16 cm) Cock Shape: Gets thick when it’s hard Type: Uncut Balls and Pubes: shaved balls, hairy crotch (he is red down there) Ass: Round and firm cheeks, a bit hairy, fills up the pants quite well Tattoos:  Body type: well taken care body, muscles but nothing big Body hair: Chest hair, armpits and hairy legs. Special attributes: In his most natural form, like his dad, he has pointy ears and wings like those of a butterfly

History:

If someone should go to therapy for Daddy Issues, that would be Alphin. His hate and love for his father Oberon is hard to explain. It all started with the realization and following resentments for the fact that his dad was not only immortal, but eternal. He was here when the first god awoke and he would be here until the last of them would go to sleep. He was as old as humans, as old as stories. And he would be sitting on the Throne forever, wearing the crown forever.

Luckily, Alphin was his mother's reason to exist. And a little convincing would help him dethrone the old man. All he needed was a reason for Titania to be mad at Oberon and that was not hard. Everyone knew his father could not keep his pants on. Titania didn't mind much, except Alphin seduced his dad and made his mom catch him trying something with Alphin. The prince pretended he did not want that and then, all hell broke loose.

He got the throne. His mother is on his side. But he still comes to the human world after his dad. Unfortunately, Oberon is hard to find for him. The man uses his magic to make it impossible for Alphin to find him. And instead, the Prince keeps finding himself sleeping with men that he calls daddy. He hates humans, he hates his dad, but he fucks humans to pretend he is fucking his dad.

Alphin doesn't show but he is insecure and spoiled. He cannot hide his contempt for the humans he fucks but he can't stop wanting to be in their arms neither.

In bed:

he likes breeding, dirty talking, humiliation, a man who manages to break him apart and fuck him dumb, enslaving humans, spanking them, tying them up, making they break up with their loved ones, etc.

Audi "quattro Festkogl Alm" in Obergurgl, Austria.

Information on the client Audi AG is a german premium automobile manufacturer and is owned by the Volkswagen Group.

Task Concept, design and execution of an Audi quattro brand staging in the alps. (LP 1-8)

Approach The Obergurgl-Hochgurgl skiing area is known as the ‘diamond of the Alps’, with an international reputation based on its extreme altitude and guaranteed snow. The quattro Festkogl Alm represents a dialogue between the Alpine environment and the world of high-tech, revealing Alpine images and themes in a new light and presenting design that combines traditional elements with avant-garde, and craftsmanship with high-tech production methods.  Part of the Festkogl Alm, located at an altitude of 2650 m at the heart of the skiing area, was renovated shortly before the start of peak season. The complexity of the plans was further exacerbated by severe weather conditions and extreme logistical challenges during the Alm hut's continued operation. The realization of this architectural metamorphosis begins with a visual impetus arising from the parapet and extending throughout the terrace to reach its culmination on the facade.This core visual impetus is continued throughout the interior of the hut. The section of the dining area located behind the aluminium facade features faceted interior walls, forming the maximum contrast to the existing interior design of the hut and establishing a dialogue between the smaller-scale, traditional sectioned wooden elements and the large-scale geometric aluminium surfaces.  The contrast between old and new that begins at the entrance to the hut builds throughout the interior, with its media-enhanced elements, before subsiding again at the entrance to the second dining area. The decor of the heating stove is inspired by aspects of traditional mountain hut interiors, but combines them with elements drawn from the history of the quattro. Instead of a traditional stag's head, the stove features a 3D sintered model of a gecko – symbol of the quattro technology. In their ‘non-activated’ state, the tables appear to feature red-and-white checked tablecloths as centrepieces. When the tablecloth is ‘activated’ the checked pattern dissolves to show a mountain landscape through which an Audi with quattro technology is seen making confident progress.

  Digital brand staging

One element of the quattro Festkogl Alm brand staging are interactive tables. In their ‘non-activated’ state, the tables appear to feature red-and-white checked tablecloths as centrepieces. When the tablecloth is ‘activated’ the checked pattern dissolves to show a mountain landscape through which an Audi with quattro technology is seen making confident progress. Guests seated at these ‘media tables’ can also view further quattro clips and access concrete information on the skiing area, including an interactive plan of the pistes and up-to-date weather information with forecasts for the next few days.

"This is a pretty painting, don't you think?"

"Psh, you can do a better job than that, Princess."

"Oh, you flatter me, Dolphin Boy. But seriously, it's beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you, my dear Alice."

Begin Again

"Seriously, Alice, you have got to get out of your room sometime," Alice's friend, Macy, said through the phone as they were chatting.

"There's nothing to do outside," Alice replied. She was busy reading The Mysterious Benedict Society in her room. "What do you suggest I do?"

"I don't know, girl! Take a walk, go shopping, relax. For the love of God, just go out and get some fresh air, will ya?"

Alice laughed. Macy was always like this; telling her to go outside, take a break from reading all day long, things like that. It was like she was being her mom. In a good way, of course. Having Macy as her friend, she never forgets to do her homework, pass them on time, and all those other important stuff. "I'm about to finish this book I'm reading. I just need to know if the gang will be able to defeat Mr. Curtain and stop him from meddling with other children."

"What kind of name is Mr. Curtain?" Macy asked rhetorically. "Anyway, you're not going to get any younger than you are now, Al." There was a pause on the phone, and Alice could hear her friend talking to someone else in the other line. The line started to die, and Alice thought Macy was about to hang up, when she heard her say, "I set you up on a date. Tomorrow, 7pm at the California Pizza Kitchen. Will come to pick you up, alright? See you soon!"

Macy hung up even before she could hear Alice say, "YOU DID WHAAAAAAAT?"

It was a hot, sunny, and not to mention, boring Wednesday afternoon. As if she had no choice, Alice followed Macy's instructions and decided to get ready for her 'blind date'. She had nothing else to do at the moment, and when her mom heard about it, she went all ecstatic and said, "My baby's going on a date! An actual date!" And screamed a bunch of other stuff. As for her dad-er, step-dad-he couldn't care less a damn. "Hm, that's great, dear," was her step-father's only words pertaining to the said topic.

At 5:30pm, she took a shower, and for almost an hour, she stayed inside her bathroom doing nothing. After, she dressed up in this fancy red dress that her mom wore on the day she met Alice's father-her real father, that is. Alice didn't know why her mom was giving so much care on this 'blind date' thing. She honestly thinks it's pathetic to be set up on a date without actually knowing the person or where he lives or how he acts, etc. Besides, she'd rather read and stay in her cozy room all day than be all lovey-dovey with a guy and hold hands and kiss and every other froo-froo. She was perfectly fine being that 17-year-old single socially-awkward penguin who doesn't care about relationships and all that nonsense.

It was 12 minutes before 7pm. Alice's mom had just finished making her up and was escorting her outside to be fetched by her friend, Macy. She was crying, saying how her daughter was already growing up so fast and that she was proud of her for finally being independent and choosing to love again. Alice didn't quite get what she meant by that but she just kept nodding, anyway.

"Hey, girl!" Macy gasped upon looking at the newly transformed Alice that was right in front of her. "You look absolutely gorgeous! Who did this to you?"

"My mom did." Alice chuckled while pointing to her mom that was beside her.

"Mrs. Bright, can I just say how beautiful your daughter looks right now?" Macy complimented. "You certainly did a good job on her today."

"Thank you, darling, for that compliment." Mrs. Bright smiled. "You girls better get going. Wouldn't want to be late for my baby's date."

"Mooooooom," Alice whined, rolling her eyes.

"I'll take good care of your daughter, Mrs. Bright." Macy helped Alice get in the car. Soon enough, they were driving away from Alice's home while her mom waved goodbye.

"Your Mr. Right awaits," Macy joked as Alice got out of the car. Turning around, Alice made a face as if to plead her friend to not make her do this. Macy only laughed. "Come on, it'll be great! Have fun, sugar!"

She drove off, but not before Alice could tell her, "I'll get you for this!" 

Again, Alice turned around. She sighed, thinking, Welp, here goes nothing. She entered the restaurant and was greeted by a tall waitress, probably a 5'9, with long, silky black hair that made Alice feel a bit insecure of hers.

"Ms. Bright?" the waitress asked. At this, Alice nodded. "This way, please," she told her as she led her to one of the tables with a guy sitting on a leather chair and another chair empty.

"Your table, ma'am." She smiled a little bit, and quickly walked away.

Alice turned to her table with the boy looking down on the ground, clueless. Was this the guy she was obliged to have dinner with? Whoever he was, he was awfully familiar to her. Maybe even too familiar. His curly brown hair was hiding his eyes, and it made it hard for her to distinguish who the person was. Only one way to find out, she thought. Slowly, she tapped his shoulder. He turned to her direction, looked at her straight in the eyes, and smiled. He smiled that mischievous smile Alice was so often familiar of.

No, Alice thought. No, no, no, no. She couldn't speak. Couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't anything. She was so shocked that she had lost the will to control her mind. It was as if the world had stopped spinning and she was stuck in that particular moment where she had locked eyes with that not-so-stranger stranger as he smiled at her. Smiled.

That boy, that troll excuse of a boy, was no other than-

"Connor Stoll," Alice murmured. Her body tensed.

"Princess." Connor grinned. He stood up and was about to hug Alice when she took a few steps away from him.

"What are you doing here?" Alice snapped. It was not normal for her to speak at all like that, but after all this boy has done to her, she felt like she was allowed to do so. If only I had my bow and arrow with me, she thought.

"I-I'm here to have dinner with you, of course!" Connor's voice was shaky, and he obviously did not expect Alice's reaction to be like that. "Like your friend, Macy, said-"

"How did you find me? Where have you been hiding? ARE YOU SPYING ON ME?" Alice said loudly. A little too loudly, apparently, as people were beginning to stare at them.

Connor noticed this at once. "A-Alice, people are starting to stare-"

"ANSWER ME!"

"Alice, please! Let's just have a normal chat, you and I. I-I'll explain everything as we eat dinner," Connor pleaded. "Pretty please?"

Alice breathed deeply. After a few moments, her shoulders began softening and her heartbeat was finally calming down, returning to its normal state. "Fine. But just so you know, this is not a date."

"... So let me get this straight. You left without saying good-bye because your mother forced you to study college in London and took away all of your drachmas and every magic items you own?" Alice repeated, still doubting whether to believe his explanation.

"Yes, yes. Exactly." 

"That's why you never left me an iris-message or even a note or anything?"

Connor nodded. "I wanted to write you a letter, but then I learned that you moved. I didn't know what your new address was, and neither did anyone at camp."

"Hm, I see. And how did you find me now?"

"Through Facebook."

"But I don't even have Facebook."

"Ah, but your friend, Macy, does."

"I don't see how that's connected."

"Macy mentions you in some posts. Posts like, 'brb having fun with mah bff Alice~' At first I thought it was just another Alice, but then I saw pictures of you and her and I realized that it was you. My instincts immediately told me, I need to see my princess again oh how I miss her so much aaaaaaand now I'm here, with you. And looking at you, it's like I've never seen true beauty until now."

Alice smiled a bit. Her cheeks began to redden but she shook it all off, reminding herself that she didn't have feelings for him anymore. "And how are you connected to Macy?"

"She's my cousin from my mother's side," Connor said.

"... You don't say?" Alice replied. "Wait a minute. What were you doing on Facebook? You know demigods are not supposed to use the internet! Now monsters are going to find you!"

Connor laughed. "Oh, princess. You haven't changed a bit."

Alice blushed. "W-What does that mean?"

"It means that you're still the same girl I fell in love with back when I was in camp. And you know what? I still do."

"... Still what?"

Unexpectedly, Connor held her hands. His hands were really warm while Alice's was cold. Probably cold from shivering too much. He looked straight into her eyes, took a deep breath, and began, "I am still very much in love with you, Alicia Jane Bright. There is no one else I'd rather be with in the world besides you. And you know what? I don't care whether monsters come and find me. Call me crazy, but I don't. I don't regret a damn thing because I know that what I did has finally led me to you. You're my one and only princess, Alice. And you always will be."

Maybe I've been wrong about him, Alice thought. Maybe I've been wrong to call him stupid, arrogant, a schisty excuse of a boyfriend. All this time, the boy whom I thought Connor was, wasn't really that boy that he truly is. Maybe he's actually nice and sweet on the inside. Who knows? Maybe he'd be a great father someday. But am I ready to love him again and give him my whole heart? I trusted him with it once, but he unknowingly broke it and left it shattered into pieces. Is it finally time to move on from the past and begin this relationship once again?

Alice sighed. All this thinking is making my head hurt, she told herself. She couldn't leave Connor behind, not like this. Not without an answer. So Alice, without hesitating this time, spoke, "This is all too much for me to process in just one day, Connor. But if you give me time, maybe a year or two, I'd get back to my senses and realize how sweet and romantic you really are. But tonight I just think you're a real douche bag for leaving me after all of these years, even if you have a proper excuse. Maybe someday, I will learn to love you again. Just as much as I used to love you. I mean, that is if you're willing to wait for me. But there are a bunch of other girls that might be better for you than me, so I suggest tha-"

"Alice..." Connor placed his finger over her lips, interrupting her. "There is no other girl that would be more perfect for me than you. You know that."

She smiled. "You have always known what to say."

"What can I say, princess?" Connor smiled his usual mischievous smile. "I was born with quite of a romantic sense of humor."

"You were. Yes, you were." Alice chuckled. She planted a kiss softly on Connor's cheek. "Such a troll you are, aren't you? My precious dolphin boy."

They continued talking, reminiscing about the old times, back when they were still a couple in camp. It wasn't obvious since Alice was such an expert in hiding her feelings, but she had missed her dolphin boy so much. She acts like she doesn't care about him, but she does. Indeed, she does. She hadn't been so happy until she saw him again, the only guy who loved her despite all of her flaws and imperfections. Alice isn't entirely ready to commit to a relationship again, but she is certainly ready to begin again, to start over. She knew that now with him in front of her as they held hands, laughing together like old friends. It was as if nothing could've ever gone wrong that day. And it's true; everything went exactly as they hoped it would be.

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again
