I guess the year 2019 was the year where I drew Noisulli headshots and nothing else. And also learned the magic and joy of shading fabrics :’D

[iolaria]

I was overdue for a sketchdump! The one with Laroc and Eroc there on the bottom, that one is my favorite~

[iolaria]

Aaaand part two! From top to bottom:

Kaleidoscope shipping (Esidiri x Etinifni): Impossible for these two to be in any sort of actual relationship, because Esidiri died about ten years after Etinifni was born and he never actually met her. More of an “admiration” pairing rather than romantic. Esidiri was a mystery to Etinifni regarding her personality and motives as a Creator, and his only knowledge of her is via video documentaries, written history, and stories told by her colleagues.

Undisclosed shipping (Etinifni x Ranul): This one I have no idea what to name it honestly. I’m not sure it’s actually even canon, maybe I just keep drawing it to confuse everyone, ha! Given their roles as first in command, and that they both reside together within a vast and empty Creator Program base for extended amounts of time, with no supervision or other witnesses, well... let’s say they get “bored and sidetracked”. Also should mention it’s strongly one-sided.

Blackhole shipping (Ralos x Diov): Another not really canon one but damnit I will keep drawing it because their dynamic is questionable and fun to draw. Like her counterpart Ranul, Ralos also is the dominant one in her relationships. Also just as questionable.

Went from drawing pink and girly Laroc two weeks ago, to now drawing “edge reincarnate” Diov?? Also I like to imagine he’d be the kind of go and full on headbutt his friends as a form of affection or something.

May we see what Diov looked like as a child? Or, what her horns looked like when she was younger? I'm assuming they weren't always so fluid, but dang I am ready for anything

babeh diov probably was like

some kind of white blob

I killed my hand with this drawing oh my goooood. I wanted to add in more details too pfffpfpt. Anyway, storytime!

-------------------------------------------------- Ralos joined an elite racing team during her civilian years, in which they eagerly accepted her. However they only allowed her in due to her celebrity-like status as Successor, and used this title as a way to promote and sponsor their team by advertising their by extension connection with the Creators. Despite her power as a future world leader, Ralos was treated less than and merely stood on the sidelines, not allowed to actually partake in any races or even get behind the wheel of a vehicle. She was even mistreated for her Creator Program status many times.

Diov, a member of this team, willingly let Ralos borrow one of his old vehicles so she could get the hang of driving, so she could one day compete. Ralos innocently found the gesture to be sweet and thought he was defending her, but in reality Diov was setting her up for failure by giving her an extremely dangerous and tampered with ship. Diov was bitter about the team allowing in a Successor, believing it to be a cheap method to get sponsors. He also despises the Creator Program in its entirety, and is part of an organization to get rid of the Creator Program and its members.

Finding out this fatal flaw in the ship's engine right before it was able to harm her, Ralos began to sabotage Diov's ships as well, creating both a rivalry and by some weird turn of events, a really bizarre "friendship" based on "pranking" each other. Diov got away with attempted murder of a Successor and avoided execution, but is now extremely threatened by Ralos and fearful she will tell on him. At this point in time Ralos literally owns Diov and has him completely at her disposal, but she doesn't do anything but let him feel paranoid.

Eventually nearing the end of her ten civilian years, she won her first race using this borrowed ship that she repaired and modified herself. When it was time for Ralos to return to the Creator Program and start her training as a future Creator, she brought the ship back home with her as a memento and to piss off Diov as one last prank. And of course, Diov wants his old ship back now that it's in perfect condition again and made iconic due to Ralos, the second in command Successor. Except he is still highly phobic of asking or saying the wrong thing to Ralos in fear of his life. --------------------------------------------------

Time for some fun facts!

- The races are typically long distance, such as around the entire equator of the moon Elpam. It's more a survival challenge than a race, as the forests of Remmus Elpam are extremely dangerous. - Ralos's ship is named the Muiralos! Because it has part of her name in it haha. - Another prank Ralos did on Diov was redesign his ship to have many useless and impractical features that are for show only, such as display monitors that serve no function other than to display flashy imagery. Diov is all about everything having a significant purpose, so gadgets that serve no other purpose than just wasting space annoys the hell out of him. However he is forced to say only good things about it. - Ralos keeps her belongings very clean and organized! Typically she trashes everyone else's spaces and is careless, but she actually values this ship that was given to her as if it were her own. - My headcanon for Ralos's voice would be similar to that of the song "If I Survive" by Hybrid. Even the lyrics are fitting for her! "So what if I survive, and live to tell the truth? Imagine the surprise to find me living and so very much alive!" - There's a cameo Eroc there since he loves machinery! Also I don't have names for those background civilians haha. I like the bird nose ones the most. - I have a thing with that bobblehead Muinnellim of Ralos's. I want one in real liiiiife. I should try to make one!

Headshots of Diov! I like drawing Noisulli with markings that resemble eyebrows. |:D

[iolaria]

Introducing my first civilian Noisulli, Diov! He was a character I had back as early as 2007, who featured a black/green/yellow theme. But, now I'm working on redesigning all of my previous Noisulli!

Diov does not have a last name or a symbol due to not being born in the Creator Program. He also has no relation to any of my main Noisulli, aside a brief encounter with Ralos during her civilian years. Diov's female counterpart at birth is currently unknown, however he does have one. I haven't decided what career/lifestyle to give him yet, but I'm open to ideas haha!

Diov originates from the cold side of the Elpam moon, where he was born with a grey/white color scheme, a very common Noisulli coloration set. He has a more pronounced nose than most Noisulli, a trait featured amongst Noisulli born from Elpam. All the green markings on Diov are actually fake and painted on with a type of permanent, tattoo-like bright ink. Diov did most of it himself. There are more intricate designs down his back that were done by a professional. Attempting to create markings down his legs, he horribly messed up and tried to desperately erase it. It's now a permanent messy splotch. The green left on his fingers after trying to get rid of the mistake was later fixed by creating green markings on each fingertip. He still tends to cover up his legs out of embarrassment though.

I kind of based his design around a great white shark! His personality is somewhat like a shark's as well... He has gaps in his teeth and a few missing ones from constantly getting into fights as a child. These fights were more for fun, in a bizarre way he and his friends did as a way to determine who was "leader". None of them know who the leader ended up being.
