Xia caught Arwyn as she was going out to deliver a dress, and the giant & elf got to chatting.

XIA

I've talked a lot about Xia with discord buddies, and now she gets her debut.

In the MK21 verse, Xia is Kung Lao's support bunny. She's an absolutely spoiled princess.

She likes lettuce treats, but absolutely loves bananas. If anyone has a banana, she'll try to steal it.

If she likes someone, she'll nap at their side or in their lap. In Lao's case, sometimes she can be found sleeping in his hat.

To show her affection, she'll gently headbutt people or try to groom their hair. No ponytail is safe.

She can be very impatient for food, though, and will make her displeasure known by thumping her back foot rapidly against the ground.

Someone makes her her own little hat out of felt. When Lao is sad, she'll go get it and take it to him so he puts it on her.

Name Meaning Tag

Rules: Search and post the meaning of your OCs’ names (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! Bonus if you can find something for their last name too

Thanks for the tag @pluttskutt I’ll answer this for TDWAD’s cast as that one is characters I actually named and is decently sized (why do all my wips have no more than three characters?). I'd also like to point out that when naming them I did not look up meanings at all so this is a learning point for all of us. Let's see how accurate they are.

Also I need to settle on last names, so just first names.

Lila

Arabic: Simplified spelling of 'Leila' that means "night" or "dark beauty" or "one who was born at night".

Hebrew: Sometimes considered a pet form of Delilah, which means "one who has weakened or impoverished another".

Sanskrit: Derived from 'Lila/Leela'. Means "play, amorous, sport"

First of all, she was born at night. Fun fact. Don't ask why I know that but it's fun that it fits with her name. The Hebrew meaning is... kind of scary in that it does sort of fit in a way I will not elaborate on. So it’s decently accurate, though she’s not very playful.

Colin

Greek: Shortened English version of 'Nicholas' meaning "victory of the people."

Gaelic: English form of the name 'Cailen' meaning "child, young creature, cub, whelp."

I need to figure out his character more, but he's not super young and I don't think he's gonna be super victorious either. Sorry, buddy.

Ward

Arabic: "Blossoms, flowers."

English: "Guardian, guard, watchman."

Irish: Anglicization of 'Mac an Bhairds' or reduced form of 'McWard' meaning either "son of the bard" or "son of the poet”.

I got Ward's name thinking of protection wards and am a little surprised it doesn't mean 'protect' but 'guard' works too. And maybe the flower meaning will be sort of relevant? I don't have his backstory 100% figured out. It's also a semi decently popular last name.

Xia

Chinese: "Summer, great, grand" or "glow of the sunrise".

Greek: Variant of Xenia that means "guest, stranger" or "welcoming, hospitable".

Her name is actually pretty accurate. She is grand in her family and she fits in more with guest/stranger than she does welcoming.

Ella

Greek: Diminutive of Eleanor meaning "sympathy, compassion" or "shining one, bright one." Also possibly connected to the Greek word Hellas, which is the Greek name for Greece.

Latin: "One who heals."

French: "Little cinders, light."

Spanish: "She, her" or "young girl, feminine."

Hebrew: "Goddess."

German: Norman version of Alia meaning "all, other, fairy maiden."

So everybody want their claim on the name Ella, apparently. But surprisingly, they're all decently accurate. I’ll admit to not being 100% settled on her name but given how well it fits, I might stick to it.

Davis

Hebrew: "Beloved"

British/Welsh: "Son of David"

Davis is apparently more commonly used as a surname so it fits in the regards that he's strange. Sadly, I have to report that his father's name is not David and he’s a bit of a black sheep, so he’s not all that beloved. Poor Davis. Maybe he should do his work.

Sheets for my 3 giantess OCs that I’ve drawn previously on this blog, as I want to draw more of them in the future. The sheets were harder to do than anticipated, but honestly, I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed making them.

Below are zoom-ins of the doodles in the lower-right corner of each sheet, which were all really fun to do.

A Xia edit I made super quickly for @violetvineyardnetwork ‘s pride week (day five/blue/magic). I tried to write a thing but it wasn’t turning out so I made this instead.

It’s been forever since I’ve made an aesthetic/edit so please be kind and forgive any blurriness as this was all done on mobile.

An Actual Sketch Dump! 

Really really old OCs that @corvidcastles and I still love dearly 

Lilianna from the Hero RP because I never draw her even though I love thinking about how she looks. Such a nice, simple look~ I should draw her more 

I wanted to make kinda complicated transformation fan art of @hegurgurk‘s cyan werewolf. I still like the idea and I may get back to it but here’s some Human/ Sun form sketches 

Composition sketches for a Mermaid telephone I was apart of

and lastly, unused logo concept art for work. I ended up pushing 5 further to a totally different shape because my boss liked how angular it was
