Noctilum Day and night 🥰
I think i still prefer the first one bc the deep is much clearer lol (Although, to be fair Noctilum night is so bright is hard to work with deep with all those glowing stuffs everywhere, And yet it's one of the things i like the most 😅)
I'll be drawing more xenoblade x continents 🫶
Mates relationship
*trying to not becoming it a shipping post.... FUCK!*
Okaaaaaaaaaay, what the hell did i just write?!!!! this is not what i wanted to write ISTG (kind of)... never mind. For whatever developing between the characters and my cross is cos my analysis on the characters and the interactions in the gameplay(of course it's subjective, i can't avoid it). I always like to question every word said by the charas, and do an inspection about the interaction so: this is what came out.
Yelv is a good character and i love to see yelv/cross interactions (andiwillendupshippingitifthecharactersfeelsnaturaland”true”tothecanon/notjustforyelv/4everypartymembertoo).
I rly question the ppl who said that the characters on X are worst than the xcx charas cos lack of character developing and poor personalities... PFFFF LIES!!!!, all of them develop in a subtle eye away from the main plot, just look carefully and pay attention adding a little brain is enough, they all are great (i can’t even say which one is the weakest character there).
Want to do the same with other important members (just dk what will be next....suggestions?... anyone?..lel i know) and it will not be as corny/drama/issues as this for sure, adding little funny HC (which couldn't do here cuz lost the control of what I was typing...istg) Also idk how to add some external crosses since all of them are the same and this HC comes from my gameplay... HOW?!.
Their first meeting was in NLA, Natasha had been allowed to take her first walk through the city freely and her first intention was to talk to as many people as possible to gather information. It was then, in one of the narrow alleys on the commercial district she ran into that rather grumpy man who immediately jumped aggressively trying to make her leave. Natasha, a bit perplexed, tried to talk to this man again without any success. It was the first time someone had been unkind in what she had been treading on these new lands, H.B. wasn't a thing yet. Minutes later, marked the spot on her communicator as: "asshole here, avoid the place"
It was a wrong foot starter, (after accepting the affinity mission) Yelv asked her to perform some tasks to prove if it was really true that, between mouths go round about the new survivor. They said she was pretty and qualified, taken in by the beautiful commander Elma, his former trainer in the reclaimers division. If she was taken by her, she must be capable of success and maybe she will help him to achieve his goal since no one else wanted to listen or help him, apart from that, lot of them were a bunch of pathetic weaklings.
In response, she simply ignored him, made excuses at his insistence, and finally aimed him with a weapon to get lost...
<<The kitten has claws and he likes it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) >>
We all know that story and the rest of it. Natasha accepted it of course, after all: an order/a mission has to been done (robot complex).
For Yelv, she was bleak, cold like a computer and a bit tasteless. It made him wonder if she was human and despite everything, she seemed like a well-trained puppy who you can give an order and she brings you the world, so he figured it might work anyway while he would keep doing his things at his way.
Perceptions changed a little, right after their first encounter. Natasha found an imprudent hothead guy which didn't measure the size of his tongue nor the limits of his thoughts (and loud, VERY LOUD) also, honest and a good man, he was different... and needed help with his combat methods. On the other side, Yelv found gossip wasn’t wrong, she was capable, quite capable. She was swift and clear, precise, nimble, a bit wild after a while, she banged with the weapons, strong kicks and hits, If the enemy was very large, she'ld easily ride the beast to hit it at key points, also used the environment in her favor and as an extra weapon, she really knows how to move. <<Damn! she was sexy>>.
Yelv had been satisfied, Natasha could definitely help him but they had to get a couple more missions done so she could open up a little more. In fact, was a short time that she had stopped appearing tasteless. Time that gained more and more recognition among BLADE members.
During the course, Natasha began to be bolder with her interactions and behavior in general, even beginning to make small jokes with such a serene countenance causing dismay on him. <<Is she was serious or was teasing him?>>. Anyway, she started to be more friendly and welcomed, while seemed everything that comes out from Yelv mouth made her laugh <<At last someone was laughing at his jokes!>>.
A good friendship. Natasha always was supportive with him and vice versa, trying to made him progress with his combat skills since he had strength and a lot of potential but wasted cos wasn't focused properly every time, rather he easily get distracted and unnecessary confident that being knocked out was common on him. They worked in complement that made them an unstoppable duo, or at least that was what Yelv said. While she weakened it he gave it the knockout, sometimes was the other way round.
Natasha found on him a great supporter friend, a comrade who during her excursions Yelv was the only one who didn’t contain her or reprimand her for not following the security protocols ( Frye and Mia too but they were different...*also Alexa-skellshead* Mia was good tho) or stoping her to exploring inaccessible and dangerous places; she loves to explore and he likes the risk. She also felt a connection since he was the only one who also suffered from amnesia. So their conversations could open up a little more to just earth memories, people they lost or skells obsessions, they could have much more casual, volatile and more fun conversations .There were few people with whom she could have such conversations, but their common ground made it more pleasant (sometimes the conversation topic was his lost friend but it was fine, as it was interesting * until he was over obsessed* ).
Nat stopped to worrying about recovering her memories, maybe it could carry her to something she didn’t want to remember.... What if she had lost someone too? maybe a lot of loved ones, or maybe no one which it makes it saddest, better to let it like this and enjoy their new home. Yelv was agree, but also told her that somehow not remember those who gave their lives for her was inconsiderate.
It was not a secret that Yelv developed a feeling for her. Well, since the beginning he never stopped to call her hottie/ babe and after a while pard (coming out from the translation pard=Figura=figura mujer= hottie). Lin knew it, Elma knew it, Nagi knew it (when Irina found out, she didn’t get him out of her threats), and many companions who had never imagined working along on occasional missions because of her. Yet Natasha did not seem to notice it and that was good, because his priority was his lost friend, he didn't wanted to get distracted by love, love was for the weak ones and if he wanted a lassie, he just take some when he desired and get some fun. But not her, she was his friend and in some way, she resembles him his lost friend because of her kindness, worry and her constant assist in people's problems without judging them.
The fact that she reminded him his old friend was not good at all either. It also had something bad, that is, his friend was the cool guy with whom all the girls wanted to date, the one with the ease speech and everyone liked him, he was so good that he was his best friend: he who was nothing to his side, damn!, even getting chicks was difficult as hell for him, fighting indigenous was easier than conquer hearts.
Well that also shared with Natasha who was a gorgeous and intelligent woman with a big heart and now quite recognized among all BLADE, citizens and xenomorphs, more than one did not take their eyes off her (issue that made him even more jealousy and aggressive with the men around her, some women, definians (god, he hates definians!) and suspicious xenomorphs in general). Even so, she was still joining someone like him. All this made him more unsettled: Getting distracted, avoid her, walking close to her because jealousy protective, belligerent and more obsessive about finding his friend. Whatever to put all his thoughts of her away and definitely wasn't going to admit his kind of crush on her, although it didn't stop him to strutting like a peacock in front of her, trying to impress her and get some hint that Natasha could showed attraction to him.
You know the rest (so so), their relationship is balanced with good and conflictive moments between them. Neither of them are perfects and the developing of a relationship took too long due to the conflictive, insecure and obsessive guy and the fearful concerned and dreamy gal. The ghost of her past made her feel fearful of get attached to things, persons to love because having materials and people in her life means that all this can disappear and becoming her vulnerable: “they can’t take away anything from us if we have nothing”.
However, following that kind of life also made no sense and by that time Natasha had a large circle of what she could call friends / family. To reach this logic wouldn't take more than it would take the man to admit his feelings and tell her. A big surprise by the people in charge of the artificial intelligence program since it was not provided, the question was whether this could help or could be harmful.
The fact that Yelv isn't a normal human been only adds a small but surmountable conflict. Natasha is just a similar case on the opposite side of the situation; That is, mechanical engineering and sustainable artificial intelligence was the counterpoint of the induced biogenetic engineering and modeled behavior.
Whether they came to know everything or only one part of it would be another conflict surmountable and material to forge a better relationship. Besides that regaining Natasha's knowledge would aid in the advancement of the manufacture of organic matter and the subtraction of consciences to obtain new organic bodies, or otherwise prosper as half machines.
Their relationship developed slowly (but save). Lot of time to become a couple and even kisses were a thing who also took a time(due to the nervousness/ distraction of his and a distracted/trolling Nat, it also depends on how was the declaration.... which has infinite possibilities *notgonnawritteaboutit...or...amI?NO!*), another one for the next step and more for the next steps. Patience wasn't Yelv's fort and yet he survived that way controlling all the mess of a person he was because he focused all his energies and Natasha kept him at bay. He also knew that sometimes she had crazy ideas ( with a mind out of her), it was better not to lead her that way cos some times it was creepy.
It is possible to say that in the case of Roxanne’s arise, it would generate tension since obviously Yelv was a primitive guy with a poor education type that doesn't come improving the human species (purpose of their creation) or nothing important to contributing (in Rox's point of view), also he wasn’t a human!.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Done (?) I had to stop. Also gonna add these sketches here... whynot?!.
Dropping a bunch of XCX stuffs bc the brain root never hit again.
Luv my crosses and also this Ship lol
AND the Qlurian girls who are very much like parallels to my crosses 🥹🫶
I took a look back in my stuffs and i said: I HAVE NOT ENOUGH OF MY SELF INDULGENCE OTP!!! should do more ⊂◉‿◉つ
No, tbh i need more practice and especially, these are helping me with interactions drawings: keep proportions and volume around the bodies. However nowadays I am unable to draw too much, so I can not improve much either.
I did a small practice for comic ya know... i risk too much but it wasn't so difficult after all :'3 (cuz i didn't put so much effort on it lol)
Song: 自愛自受(i love, i embrace)
Natasha (as any other cross) came without memories while everyone in NLA had it. Nevertheless someone else had this problem, a problem which made a connection between them, something they have in common and made Natasha feel much more comfortable to not get into odd feelings, sadness or uncertainty when everyone gathered to long for Earth and their memories
The rest is ship trash post but a good one. A strong link and well builded partnership through time. Yelv wasn’t the only one significant for Natasha tho. All the crew, some significants NPCs and xenos are part of her life now.
I don’t know what else to say, this has lot of significative charge, since the game anniversary to her own story. It could be her birthday too but i played the game until February and her actual birthday is in october (lel) so.... this goes for my birthday then!! ºAº)9... or the anniversary... it’s the same.
Ft. Roxanne and Natasha of course plus some other’s crosses:
Sergio/Singto @bloodrawknuckle(pissing off Rox (?))
Janix @eienias20 (dancing night!)
Pongo @kentucky-the-fried (Interceptor’s heart)
Flame @flametorchic (finding old weapons (wanted to draw real weapons))
Eureka @xenoblade-eureka(Similar tone hair, they could be Mira sisters :`D (couldn’t tag the other blog))
Chloris @lealilies (Chloris is important in Nat’s life and knowing she is ok and still around is enough reason to take some sodas! (?))
Pale skin is really hard to paint (why on earth do i even chose they’re gonna be pale ghosts?!!)
I love Roxanne!, she’s my IDOL!! *A*, and Natasha!!!; she’s my sweet angel TAT. luv ‘em both no matter what. Now I proceed to transcribe what Rox says (cuz I know can't see a shit of it):
-“I have 5 Doctorates and you settle me as a nurse!. It’s hard to say (even 4 me) if you’re trying to insult me or you really want to see them all dead”
-“I couldn’t care less”
-“you’ve been eating so much Lily~”
-“...All this kindness... I feel like i need to take a shower in pig’s blood to wash all the niceness off me”
-“I already knew that”
-“I am not pretending to insult you: your life is an insult itself!”
-“Such adorables friends of yours... a bunch of pathetic and mediocre garbage”
Rox:“What did I say about owning pets?!”
Nat: “He is NOT my pet!”
Yelv: “Hey!, I heard that!”
“you’re cute!”
-”Hey! it’s mom!”
Roxanne is much softer on Mira than on Earth.
Natasha's facial expressions are very limited, or rather subtle. Hearing her theme songs while looking the drawings... or this song, gives me so much feels!!! TAT P.s. Idon’t know chinese but sounds beautifulnsad (?))
