Ifor’s never ending dance with death (somehow death never ends up takes them)
Just wanted to say that I stumbled across your art today and I LOVE IFOR AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM PLEASE
( your art is absolutely amazing )
THANK YOUUUU I’m so happy that you’re interested in ifor 😭💖 Allow me to dump their lore here:
Once upon a time an ancient, nameless skykid made friends with a moth. That moth asked them, “what’s your name?” They pondered a moment, then replied, “I forgot”. The moth, somewhat dense, inquired in a confused voice: “Iforgot? What an odd name. I’ll just call you Ifor”.
Seasons passed. Long after said moth had grown up, sacrificed countless lifetimes, and eventually faded into nothingness, another moth lit that weary skykid’s candle and asked, “what’s your name?” That skykid answered after a brief moment: “You can call me Ifor.”
Ifor is a gratitude kid, and has been around for countless seasons. While most skykids of their age have long since faded into nothingness, they somehow never managed to. And so, they pass their time by seeking thrill wherever they can - anything to impede the boredom, be it dodging krills, purposefully getting krilled, exploring out of bounds, worshipping AURORA, or half-heartedly following along the seasons.
They own a vast collection of cosmetics, and often are seen passing their time by switching up their look. Most often though, they wear their signature tattered dark robe with black boots (halloween pants), and sometimes season of duet’s sleeveless grey pants. Their cape is that of a manta they hunted themselves, and it serves to attract krill’s attention. The krill horn they carry on their back is also used to summon krills. Quite often though, they carry a musical instrument (such as the e-guitar, violin, or piano) in its stead. They’ve had ample time to practice various instruments to perfection.
Due to the constant negative energy surrounding them, and the countless amount of times they’ve lost their light, darkness has started growing on their body. It recedes and progresses like the tide, but most often it can be found on their head and face. Everytime they get reborn, their darkness is cleansed, but their darkness can also wither and die when they experience positive emotions. Positive emotions always come from forming bonds with moths, but it’s only a matter of time before the moth fades and their darkness grows back stronger.
Morally they are ambivalent, their mood changing unpredictably. They will often help redirect krills from other skykids by taking it head on, but sometimes will also lead a krill over to target another skykid just for the sake of it.
Currently, ifor is quite happy as they’ve made some new friends. Only time will tell if these will stay, but ifor has a feeling that at least one of them might. Said skykid is my irl partner’s character, and I very much enjoy drawing ifor with some of the ice melting from their demeanor (soft blushing ifor is my new obsession)
I hope this satisfies your curiosity! Ifor is probably the oc with the most lore I’ve made so far, besides my last skykid oc from like 2020, but i feel much more personally connected to Ifor because I based them off of my own playstyle of the game.
I’ve been playing sky since its release in July 2019, and I’ve had phases where I’ve gotten so tired of it, but just couldn’t quit for real cause of all the time and money I’d spent on it and all the fond memories I’d made (plus the game is just so pretty). I wanted to imagine how those feelings would translate to the character I’m playing as - I imagine they’d be amplified by a lot, so me wanting to quit the game became my skykid wanting to quit life, essentially. Fun stuff, fun stuff. And I do love to be the krill bait when doing wasteland quests with other ppl, so that part is pretty accurate too. And I’m also absolutely in love with the aurora concert and her music in general.
The only inaccurate part may be the “practicing to perfection” - I definitely know my way around the in game instrument mechanics but I’m no where near as good as some of those sky musicians out there hahaha, I do enjoy playing it though.
If anyone read this far then wow, amazing, I love you, hand in marriage please?? Hope you enjoyed my ramblings, @ the like 2 ppl who got this far

Thank you for 100 followers!!! It’s barely been half a month ily guys 🥹
Late af to the complainfest but it had to be said
ifor when ((loredump)) every friend they've made ever inevitably fades away into the untold abyss and they themselves are somehow unwavering, ceaseless, perpetual,
This trend fits ifor so well
Hi everyone! How are all of you today? I was searching online for a SkyKid cape/cloak pattern for crochet and I haven't been able to find anything. So, I have been trying to make my own pattern to experiment with. If you guys have any ideas, let me know! What I am thinking so far is making a giant half circle that reaches to both wrists and then sewing on a bunch of rectangle-like shapes. I am practicing on some rainbow yarn, if this goes well then I might have a good rainbow SkyKid cape to wear in the summer!
GUYSSSS HELPPPP
I'm stuck on the golden wasteland temple !!! it won't let me see the constellation and some of the spirits are stuck like that. what do ii do??
Doodled my little bb because I started playing Sky: Children of Light recently and am completely hooked
I find it adorable how it turned out, although I'm still looking at how to improve this type of dirtier line "style" :D
another outfit for my skykid! :D I'm liking how the dirtiest line is turning out. I painted it as if it were without a line, lowered the opacity and BOOM, how beautiful <3
I'm completely in love with the wonderful game Sky, which I've been playing non-stop for a year and a half now
These sketches of strangers (whom I met from time to time) have been with me for almost a year. I don't know where to put these arts, so I'll post them here
Skykids, assemble!
