What?? Rubi actually drawing for herself, of her own volition? this is unheard of!

Experimenting with a sketchier style and I REALLY like how this turned out. especially since I did this in like an hour, which is way faster than my other methods lol.

I'm also trying out giving Rubi an eyebrow ring, since I think she needs something to spice up her look a bit lol. if I end up liking this in a week's time, I'll think about giving her the same piercing on her ear.

hi rubi!!

question: what do you think rubi and claire's favourite songs/bands/genres of music are? :0

Ooo good question! I'd say for Rubi, she generally listens to more Jazz stuff - mostly jazz fusion, bossa nova, and sometimes big band music. Claire leans more towards nerdier stuff, like video game soundtracks. There's quite a bit of overlap between their tastes, so they can usually agree on something to listen to!

i feel like rubi and paparazzi would get along great

Hhdhs telling me this stuff is dangerous because it WILL make me want to draw them together now and there's no power on this planet able to stop me

But yes I'm sure they'd be great friends! Maybe I could draw them going shopping or watching a movie together....

so she's egyptian-?

Nah, she's greek! I toyed with the idea of making her Egyptian, but ended up deciding on making her Greek just because I really like the food lol.

Not too long before deciding to make her Greek, I had eaten an unbelievable good souvlaki from a stand at my old primary school's summer fair lmao. It's crazy how seemingly inconsequential things can impact stuff like the nationality of one's fursona lol.

so she's an arctic wolf but has greek like clothing??

(interesting character clothing design not judging bc it looks great)

Hhdhs honestly I never really considered her nationality when I drew her - she originally didn't have clothing because it was anatomy practice (not in that way - there was no genitalia or anything lol) , but I showed a friend on discord and she suggested a toga so I went with it.

Since then, I have decided to make her Greek - though I haven't really done much with that information beyond telling a few people she's greek lmao

Her arctic-wolf-ness kinda has no bearing on her nationality.

what exactly is Rubi? do you have a ref built of her?

wolf? fox? or something else?

She's an arctic wolf! Or at least some version of my interpretation of one lol. I never really decided on her species while drawing her, favouring to just draw something vaguely canine, and a couple friends helped me choose the almost-white-but-slightly-purple colouration! Eventually I decided to start calling her an arctic wolf once I realised I never actually decided on her specific species lmao.

And kinda! I have a ref sheet in the works! I'm not really happy with the art at the moment but I'm pretty determined to get it done among the other things in the backlog lol.

I NEED to start making more posts about the world my sonas actually live in. If not for informing other people then just to remind myself what the lore even is. Like I don't know if it's public info that Rubi and Claire live together. Or that Rubi makes money for the both of them by just selling magic spells and potions online. Or that her "potions" are actually just lychee juice that she casts spells on to give them effects instead of actual alchemical products.
