Colored the first panel of this comic fully.

Look at this happy boy with his new magic robopuppy creation

I’m gonna do properly shaded version of the top one, but I wanted to leave this short comic simple. The birth of Mon-chan from my Stringmaster fic. This scene may appear in the actual fic as a flashback, but I wanted to draw it.

....He’s trying, but Sensei’s still not great about his choice of words.

more stuff I’ve drawn for this au:

Sensei No / Personal space Dabi / Troll dad / Dabi gif / The main cast / Oh look a background / The piece that started it all

[lumilasi]

So. I wanted to do kinda of a thing where the String connects through all four pieces, starting from AFO, and ending with Tomura. I gotta admit, I struggled with drawing Kurogiri, so I gave up and used his design ref piece for this OTL 

Today just wasn’t a “draw a magic robot” day. At least Dabi’s profile is one of my favorites I’ve ever drawn. I struggle with those a lot.

But yeah, the four main characters from The Stringmaster. 

I also have posted alternate versions of AFO and Tomura separately

These took longer than they should have ugh. Designs for the Steampunk AU story thingy I’ve been considering on writing. Alchemist Dabi, the Stringmaster pupil Tomura, a sentient robot Kurogiri (No hero kids were killed in making of this one) and Stringmaster AFO

......Gotta say, drawing AFO as a not-a-rotten-potato-face is hard because figuring out his hair and eyes is a bit of a challenge. (I don’t even know what his actual eye-color is, I just tend to make them red because his quirk has a reddish aura) Generally from what I’ve seen in the fandom, his hair tends to be drawn as “Adult Evil Deku” style, as I’d call it. I think the canonical one’s different from that tho. Whatever, I didn’t really draw FS Hisashi’s hair like the canonical do either.

Anyway, more notes about these designs below the cut:

Tomura’s mask is a two-parter; the hand gas-mask and goggles are separate objects, because sometimes Tomura may require different kind of goggles to go with his gas mask.

The hand on his head is a mannequin/robot piece that he made, it actually serves a purpose and helps him focus properly; it has a special kind of alchemy stone (basically sources of magic in this AU) build in that basically creates soothing vibes. The hand shape is more psychological thing (this time not caused by AFO tho)

The cogs in his boots help him tighten them around his legs so they don’t fall off. He’s already lost many pairs of perfectly good shoes running around the city doing his thing, and he got tired of it

The scarf-belt thing is used to carry tools sometimes, and the heavy cog “belt buckle” can double as a weapon

Dabi’s coat and hat are probably stolen, though he’ll never admit it.

Dabi tends to cover his throat both because he’s self-conscious of his scarring (in this AU) and gets sick easily so he likes to keep his neck area warm

Kurogiri is powered by another (shadow) alchemy stone, though it was modified by AFO to have more of a personality and sentience. Kurogiri was initially simply his babysitter butler, but later when Tomura showed up he became Tomura’s caretaker

Kurogiri has wheels on his feet that he uses to move. He can just use his shadowy form too that is sealed inside the robotic armor.

AFO’s cane has a blade in it, though he uses it rarely given he can just slice people to tiny pieces with his Stringmaster powers alone.

Tomura from Stringmaster

Figuring out the BG was tricky. Namely because I didn’t set to make a scene of any kind to begin with, just some themed background that would fit together with the character portrait themes. Also decided to go for a more cell shading style with this series, just to practice it some more. 

Next one will probs be Violinist Tomura

Shigadabiweek day 6: Distance

I loved the Steampunk designs I made so much that I wanted to shoehorn them into this piece too. Tomura’s holding some sorta tool or something, IDK. Also made this kinda look like a comic panel, except I had no ideas for a BG as usual.

....This is still giving me vague fic idea vibes

@shigadabiweek

[lumilasi]

He tries, but he’s terrible at setting boundaries. Poor Kurogiri is babysitting two mischievous kids who think committing crimes is fun past time. He needs a vacation, or two.

The shitpost I made this morning was foreshadowing for this disaster. It’s actually inspired by something Tomura’s gonna do in the next chapter of the fic haha. Also HOW did I make this version of AFO’s hair even harder to draw than Hisashi’s from FS??? WTF brain

At least this version won’t use Tomura as a tool and actually sees him as his child

Shigadabiweek day 5: Steampunk

....Knowing me I might edit this later on, but I just wanted to post it now. Gotta say, there was this one post talking about how you sometimes get vague story ideas based purely on an aesthetic of some art piece or so.

This is a post like that lmao
