Some sketches on my tablet I never posted. I was tired and bored and kinda just gave up lmfao

The crowd and the flat arcsins are because i was being encouraged to pull an all nighter in order to fix my sleep schedule. I needed vent art.

I just wanna toot my own horn for a sec. Since I’m usually self deprecating I hope it’s alright this time lol!

In this video I watched a while back, I heard worldbuilding advice like “go deeper, not wider.” It’s usually in reference to magic systems: “instead of making dozens of spells that are just glossed over, make only a handful but their full possibilities are explored.” Avatar the last airbender is something I’ve seen been given as an example of this. Instead of having tons of elements with basic powers, the show only has four, but they’re well very thought out. Possibilities like “hey, isn’t there water in your blood?” “lightning is superheated air just like fire” “metal is a type of material found in the earth” were accounted for and expanded upon. It was awesome

Id like to think I do this as well, at least sometimes

The elemental barons are a blatant example, since they’re pretty much the same concept as benders in atla. The baron of lightning is the one I’m proudest of. He can manipulate electricity, which is the flow of electrons. I’ve researched tons of sources of electricity and strange properties of electrons in order to understand just what he can do. Neurons and muscles are activated with electricity, electric currents generate magnetic fields, manipulating the electricity in a wire technically means manipulating the electrons of the metal itself… I’m having a lot of fun learning what crazy thing he could do next!

I’m also proud of the fact that there really aren’t that many individual technological advancements. The ship’s dome is made up of a force field. Instead of coming up with tons of high tech future stuff, I just keep realizing that being able to generate force fields has a ton of applications. Ochron’s eyepatch is held up with a force field band. Space suits are force fields generated around the wearer. An idea that may go unused is a glove that creates pointed force fields to act like claws. I’ve entertained the idea of resizable phones by having them be made of a force field that can be transformed like a desktop window.

Idk man, tldr I took the “go deeper not wider” rule to heart and I’m having a blast figuring out what every implication of the magic and tech I’ve imagined could be

Oh boy time for some self promotion!

I have a YouTube channel, simply called Arcsin! It’s more of a hobby and my upload schedule is nonexistent but I do enjoy making videos! Mostly gaming and reactions with a few memes sprinkled in, and I’d love to expand it to speedpaints and animatics someday!

I have a sideblog dedicated to the scifi fantasy series I want to write someday, Steldomo! The blog is aptly named @steldomo, and it has art and some story ideas. You could also explore some tags here to see my ideas, such as #steldomo, #my characters, #my ocs, #my story, or some characters names!

I have another sideblog, @shared-english-vas, where I scroll through the website Behind the Voice Actors and document my findings, looking for the funniest instances of characters with the same actor. For example, did you know that the voice actor of Mephiles from Sonic 06 might’ve been in bootleg film Ratatoing? Or that Overhaul from My Hero Academia plays Freddy Fazbear in a couple fnaf games? Or that Prince Zuko from ATLA guest starred in some fanmade Homestuck dubs?

Dream

I suddenly realized tomorrow was the beginning of inktober so I quickly whipped up this thing. Not my best work but whatever. I dream of creating this as a full story someday!

Not to self promote but there's more content and info about it at @steldomo

This one was a hit with the discord

[steldomo]

I keep thinking I shouldn’t start steldomo until I have Perfect Art but I just realized even pro tv shows change art styles/quality as budget or direction changes

[steldomo]

"i should draw characters people actually know so that my work can get noticed" *does this anyways*

i was just testing following a reference model. i both didnt give a shit about how itd turn out and also tried my best

[steldomo]

I’d love to put a polumnia omnia quote here but idk if this little sketch is worthy. Might be too cringe

Edit: omg I forgot the lapels-
