A fanblog for 'The Arcana: A Mystic Romance - Interactive Story' [31/nonbinary/you cannot misgender me in a way that matters, but she/her is fine] Header by: sharpfawngz
This is terribly spesific - but some art Evander has commissioned in some Sam @bottomvalerius and Heron @vesuvian-disaster continuity for them. It's not meant to be mean - those two just are something.
A quick render of Jinana (Classic mermaid with gills) to get my underwater scene ready for more mers. I will be randomizing the queue as I go, so stay tuned!
Requests are OPEN until Sunday, 5/7/23.
(Link to full size render under the cut, here's a detail snippet:)
Finally, FINALLY I have collected enough assets to do MerMay!
This one will go a lil differently from previous Renderpaloozas - I'll be taking requests all week (5/1/23 - 5/7/23), but instead of trying to cram all the renders into the same week, I'll be pacing myself and releasing them throughout the month.
Choices and rules are under the cut. I can't possibly show every variation available, feel free to DM me if you want to see texture options or have any questions!
RULES:
Please limit to 2 requests per requestor.
One character per render.
Renders will have a prefab underwater scene as a backdrop.
Poses will be chosen by me.
If you request someone else's OC, I will have to okay it with the OC's creator first!
I reserve the right to close the request window at any time, I am but one little guy and I can only do so much T_T
I will append a request queue to this post as requests come in! If you send a request and don't see it appear in the queue within a day, tumblr probably ate your request :c Try again!
Tail Choices:
Classic Merfolk (choose tailfin)
Seahorse Tail
Fantasy Lionfish Tail
Octo-Mer (fem base characters only, sadly)
Shark Tail (choose arm fins, scars, body paint)
Classic Mermaid (with gills, fem base only)
Eel Tail (with gills, masc base only)
Fancy Tails (choose fin options)
Snake Tails (choose scale options)
Texture Choices:
Color - most of these have a huge array of colors and patterns available. Feel free to DM me about the choices available for the tail you've chosen! I can also make some basic color adjustments to suit. You can also just leave it up to me!
Glossy/Metallic/Pearly/Bioluminescent - I can make the tail have a fancy sheen or bioluminescent markings!
Clothing/Jewelry:
Pearls, gems, gold, silver; rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and body chains; facial and body piercings - I can adorn your mer in jewelry if you like! Give a general vibe and I'll do my best to fulfill it from my large library of jewelry assets. (Otherwise, they'll just have their usual jewelry.)
Armor - I can put armor on the top half of your mer. Choose from fantasy or realistic styles.
Modesty top - if your mer has breasts, they can go bare (will mark the render as Mature) or I can choose a little fantasy top for them to wear. (If your mer goes bare, I can absolutely give them nip piercings btw)
Masc mers can absolutely wear a little crop top too, as a treat :)
Hair:
Unless otherwise specified, characters will have their usual hair, but you can request a long-haired version for your mer!
“Are you certain you can handle this on your own? It feels like you’re struggling back there.”
“You’ll be the one struggling as soon as I detangle myself from you.”
“If you are able to.”
@vesuvian-disaster once again planted a brain worm deep in my head and I dropped everything to try to tackle Heron’s majestic mane and equally majestic tits :’) I tested out a few new hair brushes and some new shading techniques that I’m p happy with, but Heron was also the perfect model to experiment with lololol
I obviously couldn’t resist an implied peepaw ;P Heron sasses him because it keeps Sam young and entertained (not providing your peepaw with the right enrichment can make them more annoying and bitey)
chúc mừng năm mới ! wishing you all good luck and good health for this lunar new year !!
in vietnamese culture, the zodiac animals are slightly different – instead of the rabbit, we celebrate the year of the cat ( aka my year hehe ) 😺 — print available here !
[PAMPER] with Jinana and Hjordis. - vesuvian-disaster
(It is, of course, funniest if Hjordis is doing the makeup... Modern AU time!)
---
It's a good exercise for Jinana not to fidget or flinch while the makeup is applied carefully to hir face. It's fun to try something new... and honestly, the view is pretty great as Hjordis bends forward to her work with the different pencils and tubes of makeup.
"Aaand done. Take a look."
S/he knows what to expect from the makeup Hjordis has done for herself, but it's still a bit startling as s/he peers into the bathroom mirror. The look is somewhere between Viking war-paint and death metal corpse-paint, with heavy black kohl spidering out over hir cheeks from hir eye area, highlighted with delicately branching veins of white. A blue Jera rune has been drawn above and between hir brows, and hir upper lip has likewise been painted blue, with a thick blue line down the center of hir lower lip, continuing down hir chin. A series of small white dots have been applied over hir brows, as if in homage to hir own culture.
"Oh my god," s/he says, "I look like I'm about to go out and kill a man." S/he grins at Hjordis. "Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick, I love it! Let's go tear up the club."
I've just noticed herons full name and recognized some parts, is he Vietnamese coded? 🌸
Yes! I've been trying to make his father's homeland a fantasy analog of Vietnam. So, in the context of the game world vs irl, he's something like half-Vietnamese and half-Italian. 💖
