Inktober 2015 - Day 20 : Brush Pen

Inktober 2015 - Day 20 : brush pen

Violet taught Khet and Vekh anime poses, but they don’t look as cute when you have terrifying goat eyes. You can get away with adorable vampire teeth though.

I accidentally crippled myself copying up notes yesterday, so I could only manage a line drawing. No cross-hatching for you two. These two also don’t have the masses of piercings and weird haircuts that other Vrega have because they’re very devout Khukh-worshippers (Khukh is the god of nature) and are forbidden from cutting their hair or deliberately harming themselves in any way. Perfect for when the thought of detail work makes my hands cry. They opted out of the Trial for religious reasons (it involves ritual mutilation) so they’ve started adult life in one of the lower castes and work as general dogsbodies like Meruch (who took the Trial but performed poorly). The double canines and hourglass pupils are benign mutations that are pretty common in their clan, and are thought to be a blessing from Khukh. Violet likes these two because they’re some of the only people on the ship who can give a decent piggy-back ride (no spikes), and at ‘only’ 6′ Khet is one of the very few who are less than a foot taller than her.

Inktober 2015 - Day 29 : cartridge pen Lena is showing her brother how to tell fortunes with normal playing cards. It’s a real divination system, so bonus points if you know what the spread says. Although I had trouble drawing the cards that small so I’ll just tell you that it’s reversed ace of spades/10 of hearts/4 of clubs.

Inktober 2015 - Day 30 : gel pen For some pleasant symmetry, both the second and second-to-last pictures this Inktober are now slightly disappointing pictures of Nat that were hobbled by an uncooperative gel pen. I wanted to draw a full-length view of his robes.

Inktober 2014 - Day 19 : G-pen What would Ely and Trispin look like if I drew them like Poppet? I wondered. The answer was ‘pretty creepy and weird’.

Inktober 2015 - Day 28 : g-pen and grey pen Isaac’s just floating around, doing dead person stuff, you know.

Inktober - Day 27 : gel pen Just in case anyone wasn’t clear on where Lottie’s new friends come from.
