Warming up for artfight and the *official* official opening of my commissions by dropping in on various Hello Paint boards. Today was all about fire and Ice with the sprite girlfriends Ember and Icelyn!
This one was for the Kinktober 2022 prompt: Temperature Play. A fiery gryphon and her ice sprite girlfriend! Neither of them have names, just characters I came up with on the spot for this prompt.
Maybe I'll do something else with them later? Not sure. Anyone want me to?
But I'm pretty pleased with how the 'ice' turned out!
There are several Kinktober prompts I can't post here, but you can find the whole month's art on my Twitter or FA.
So, as part of Omni’s world and members of the Circus Town, y’all get to meet them! I do plan to draw more with these characters of course and I have many more currently getting designed. So ye!
Anyway, allow me to introduce these three below the cut.
Reilly-- the ever so vain Lion Tamer.
Reilly loves nothing more than his appearance as well as his job. If he’s going to do it, he’s going to do it in style! He’s the type of person who spends way too much time brushing his hair/tail. He will often times wear makeup to give himself a more vibrant look as well. The best way to make him cry is to shave his mohawk, but I mean. Good luck keeping your fingers after that stunt.
This cat is light on his feet, energetic, but also rather impatient. Most pun based humor goes right over his head. He gets easily irritated when he doesn’t get the joke like WHAT’S SO FUNNY??? He makes up for that with his spectacular performances with his team of lions. It makes it a little easier to tend to the animals when you can talk to them and understand them. After Monochrome is born, he also adds a specific albino lion cub to the family--who Mono affectionately names Ticky.
Valentin--sass master ice sculptor.
Valentin was designed by @skoopskoop! I just gave him color. Funny enough we both had the same idea and personality thought out for him. We were so in sync with this character and he was so much fun to make.
Valentin, as his title implies, is the absolute sass master. Picking a fight with him and winning is near impossible. With his quick wit, Valentin will rip someone a new one with his words. Which is honestly much better than him using his ice abilities! Being an ice sprite, I’d rather he gave tongue lashings than turned tourists into another one of his sculptures. Valentin may be a bit on the cold side and emotionally stunted, but he means well. For the most part. If he likes you namely. Otherwise he takes no shit from anyone. He doesn’t particularly like children either but at least he’s not purposefully an asshole to them.
On another note, each character’s pose is suppose to represent some side of their personality; and Valentin is an absolute flirt. Leaves a tad too many buttons open at times, flirts with pretty much anything with a heart beat. Though romance and commitment isn’t quite his strong suite (yet; first one to find out who I ship him with gets brownie points XD).
Charles (Chuck) Forster--the dad figure.
This is a familiar name I hope. Chuck and a few others are the closest thing Omni ever had to a family given Pluris and their nature. Chuck is skilled in wood working and giving the best hugs and advice. Being one of the eldest members of the town that is just under 20 years old, Chuck worked for Leopold (the Circus Master) since the very beginning. He didn’t always have his little woodwork shop, and actually assisted in the traveling circus troupe that Leopold had created before the construction of the town. This is also how he met Omni--the struggling skeleton figure who wished to see the show.
Pretty much, Chuck pulled some strings to allow Omni to join the troupe to give them a home. He’s been their family ever since then. This is also the event that caused Omni to pick their lavender skeleton form as their regular appearance as it was the first thing that the troupe had seen.
But onto Chuck himself as a person. Chuck is the most laid back character there is. He lives just across the way from the ice sculptor, keeping the sass master at least a little cool headed. He carries himself well, never really having any complaints about anything. He enjoys what he does, he enjoys his family’s company (all of Circus Town), he’s just overall a pretty happy dude. He’s ever so compassionate and pretty much everyone in the town calls him their father figure or simply “gramps”. Just another thing he’s such a good sport about; at least he’s got a good sense of humor! Chuck and Valentin have “crafting wars” that they do right outside their shops for the tourists to watch and enjoy. Security does help moderate this to prevent any accidents, but basically these competitions include the two artists having someone from the audience picking a topic for the two to sculpt. Whoever crafts the most creative statue/sculpture wins. Both are excellent sports about it; the two get along rather well.
