My two Tarnished so far, El the bloody perfumer and Setto, my Lord of Frenzied Flame to be. I’ve always written/envisioned El to be a fucking bully… who would then go home and be like “why won’t you love me, you fucking critter”
And Setto is just a mobile mini-nuke. Eventually I’ll be able to draw it properly
Format based on a comic by… *checks notes* @\beetlemoses. On Twatter. I thought it fitting~
all setto wants is to love and be loved but is hilariously fucking stupidly terrible at it. be less crunchy and pointy and noodly and you won't scare folks... slightly less.
i like portraying setto as an amalgam of random shit. nothing says monstrous existence like being a fucking wall of hulking meat and gnashing pointies slowly gravitating towards you. “Be not afraid” “/throws McDonald’s and skidaddles”
I really was influenced too much by Angel Sanctuary and Final Fantasy.
More dedicated sketch to my one request. So far. Lol
It. It still takes me for a loop, like if anybody noticed my offer at all, I was just expecting more fanart, not for me to ca… to draw my own shit, so it’s surreal. In a good way, though? Good… 😭
Pencil, ballpoint pen, grayscale copics. Shitty Michaels sketchbook. Copics do a cool thing where it makes the ink run. So I guess I did a partial wash.
So much lore hidden behind this one form of Setto cuz I’ve only used it for… fanfic? Which I’ve done very little in the last many years. And original stories where they’re NOT the MC (also little because oof). Basically our “vacation from suffering/canon” costume. Yeah, long hair = MC. Short hair = not MC.
But Setto is a full time sufferholic and even in another universe (last seen: FFVII, stalking Vincent), they must see fit to take another’s pain… Touch grass, my child~
Setto, alias “Yatsui.” Grey Angel, Sin Eater. All-around QQBaby troglodyte.
so i actually scribbled this out pretty quick last night. too lazy to... link the older ones for comparison. just... setto is more crispy. needed more horn. needed MORE char, therefore hair burned off.
actually a floaty centaur below the waist. why four legs if hate gravity? because heck, that's why.
setto contains a lot of everything, including bad things. this one likes to burn shit. shade likes to be a goddess of blood and lust. most of the other forms are just kinda sorta forces of nature that rampage and rest. the ones with mental faculties closer to human are more dangerous, for obvious reasons lol. a couple good ones, thoough.
i decided to finish this vampire hunter d comic i helped kickstart, and you know, just. dynamic poses, you know? comics are great for inspiring that.
and on the briefest oc kick, i returned to shade, one of setto's manifestations when he has a crisis episode.
shade is like an extra ass...baphomet, in some eras seen as a goddess of fertility and blood because they channel urges way too haaaard. setto doesn't like that, but can't control it so oops. tiddies.
suddenly realized i just randomly had a LOT OF TONGUE STICKING OUT HAPPENING. why, it's like some kinda...freudian...thing...lol...
yatsui. setto, rather, in his 'grey angel' form. friendly reminder that setto used to be sephiroth until i decided i was fucking around with his character too much and made my own, but as a cosmic emo bitch with lavender/pink hair.
doing a little #dressuptober to keep scraping the rust away.
setto is usually pretty good for challenges like this because he doesn't know how to fucking dress himself. so you can put anything on him and it'd look good. almost anything anyways. even things that need boobs to fill them, as depicted when his body changes to "shade" form.
then lady character i don't draw often, just a cutie space elf before she dies in a war.
then me sneaking lady dimitrescu in, in a modified version of the prompt i made her for. cuz she gotta look fancy and also contain them tig ol biddies~
finally, domini dangling like a piece of meat because storywise, that's all he's treated as, and it's a sad existence for him.
more to come lol. 22-23 left~ /crawls back under rock
