Uhm...so, yeah. Anyways--so the sketch is SUPER rough, and I plan to refine it quite a bit, but behold myself as a scout, accompanied by my faithful Jabberwocky! It's been a while since I've drawn anything, and the first time I've drawn my current hairstyle, so my hand was a bit shaky...but yeah. :)
Picture taken with my phone since my scanner isn't working, so sorry if the quality kinda sucks :(

waitwhatMage?
aaa you look awesome!!I'm not saying you should team up with mage me from some pages back but you should totally team up with mage me
okay NOw im going to bed for reals
team? TEAM?! //dives into the pages to find//
I'd like to think that SSSS-AU me would totally come from one of the few families who fled to Cape Breton island in Nova Scotia (my family has no actual roots there, but we have a Scottish (on my dad's side) background so I KNOW that we'd be welcomed (been there a couple times already and we were practically adopted) and in Cape Breton many communities still have stories about fairies and such, so AU-me would totally be happy to have a mage around xD
now that I think about it...//skips off the the thread about other survivor communities to hopefully put in her two cents about Cape Breton//

........ as a postapocalyptic viking mage.
my tumblr (where I post art???) is www.unicorngender.tumblr.com (http://www.unicorngender.tumblr.com) so yeah there's a bit more over there but not a lot
Helen Olaussen, born in Norway, luckily turned out to be a mage (wayyy to scrawny for a troll hunter) and sent away to Academy of Seiður to cause everyone grief by being neither a seiðkona nor seiðkarl, going by both interchangeably (or seiðkid! that's a fun word but maybe too english-yfied hahaha). not particularly talented, but stands out with a weird mix of rune/spirit magic? believes in both the old norse gods and nature spirits/forest gods, courtesy of finnish relatives and sami ancestry. kind of a useless oddball.
oh gosh I hope it's not off-topic or somethign

Drawing yourself in the SSSS-verse looks fun, maybe I'll join you guys!

yesssss we'll make even more of a ragtag team than the protag crew
This looks fun! I may also join you guys to form the most chaotic and unbalanced team in the history of ever because obviously ragtag teams have the best luck.

another doodle
and an attempt at a comic with an event Haiz and I talked about involving her magesona and my scoutsona
quality would be better, but I'm still not sure how to fix the scanner, none of my pens wanted to be found (so I had to use a regular blue ball-point), my skills with coloured-pencils is lacking (I also couldn't find most of them) and my phone's camera decided it was going to be extra crappy xD not a good day for me to Art
still, here they are!

(and some braidy *joins sigrun marie in hair drawing club*)

They are all pretty, I see you've had some fun when drawing :D But...OMG DAT BRAID1) i take sketches very seriously and I've been doodling in every class at school since fifth grade so. you know. after idk, 30? sketchbooks you get good sorta at things
Just hoooow can you people draw the hair so damn good even on the sketches?! D:
2) i love drawing hair so much you have no idea. (also one of my OCs from..... another postapocalyptic scenario......... has a super mega long braid so. i practice)
3) gosh thank you
Haiz: I really like the cat and the two Braidy sketches! What's that decorative eye in the Braidy picture?the eye thing is just. uh. this? some kinda face constructed out of swirlyswooshies. my sketchbooks are full of the weirdest things
I finally finished the line art for my SSSS-self!

Thank you! :D yes I am! I guess I could also be somewhat of a cook and map reader as well ^^ Other characteristics: anxious/worry-wart, not very high endurance, allergic to cats and probably immune since I almost never catch anything beyond the common cold.

I am working on an SSSSelf that will be done soon (just need to adjust some things and colour and scan/photograph [probably photograph cause I also have to photograph a little alt-timeline that I made cause the scan turned out kinda meh] ^u^) and yeah. *sits back down, pats hair*
Me too! I haven't properly drawn mine yet - I'm working on a lot of other drawings - but I should finish mine within the next week!

Go right ahead, I was thinking of doodling the fan-squad myself. Lol. Also personnel notes state, subject rarely makes eye contact, and is prone to suddenly walking off. (And shiny things are very distracting) I kinda hope everyone can read my hand writing. It's kinda bad.

Beautiful. Very accurate. My old friends said that I always looked half-awake, or in thought. But lately I seem a little bipolar. At work I'm almost like Tuuri, excitible, and full of energy, off work I retreat to my true personality. So I kinda change personality depending on what's going on.
Now random question: if you're handed a carved totem/rune-like object with a mumbled 'I carved this for you' what would your reaction be?

I can only pay in imaginary cake (although I'm on the point of mastering Latvian saffron yeasted coffee-cake IRL), but I'd be forever in your debt (for a given value of "debt").
In the Known World I don't think I'd be adventuring. I'm older than Taru and have a bum knee that sometimes bends the wrong way, so like her I'd be dead immediately. But I love the thought of wearing some of those fancy Mora-style clothes and sitting behind a great big desk with a great big typewriter.
There's a picture of me on the "How do you look?" thread, but I can upload a mugshot if that helps.
No worries if other priorities intervene.... I know it's kind of vain to ask at all... :-[

Um... do you energetic young adventurers need a friendly librarian/scholar-type to load you up with info? Would somebody be willing to draw me sitting behind a desk overloaded with stacks of paper? I'm so envious of all your cute pictures! I'd play along, except I can't draw at all.

First is a picture of me in my adventure outfit! Those are goggles, and not a superhero-mask, but still xD I'm not in the same crew as Minna's crew, so apparently my crew-outfit is looking different.
The second picture is me at home. I'm a Skald, so of course I'm going to be surrounded by books! Also a map of the Known World since I'm very curious about it (why else would I join the research-team to travel into the unknown?). There's also my two grade C-cats, who are mostly there just to show how bad I am at drawing xD

I did pictures! I cheated a bit since I can't draw to save my life (case in point: my derp cats), but at least I made something!
First is a picture of me in my adventure outfit! Those are goggles, and not a superhero-mask, but still xD I'm not in the same crew as Minna's crew, so apparently my crew-outfit is looking different.
The second picture is me at home. I'm a Skald, so of course I'm going to be surrounded by books! Also a map of the Known World since I'm very curious about it (why else would I join the research-team to travel into the unknown?). There's also my two grade C-cats, who are mostly there just to show how bad I am at drawing xD

This was fun, I'll never do anything like it again! *dies a little*
That's so cute! I love your grade C cats okay. Guess who's gonna draw you like right now. Spoiler alert: it's me.

ALL RIGHT since there are more crew members to come eventually, I decided to just do some Serious Sketches instead.
here we are
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/e9c6579fe7049b2ade96f0ad192a1fa9/tumblr_nlktsfHikk1r6soqlo1_1280.jpg)
In order: Koalalou, me, Curry, AquaAurion (+ Jabberwocky the cat), DancingRanger ~
uh it's a little messy so maybe it's hard to see what exactly is going on, but. i think we're about to enter some Possibly troll-infested building or something. on top of some stairs apparently. (idk what happened to the composition when I was gonna draw in dancingranger's guy but he was suddenly too short ehehehe sorry)
I hope I didn't mess up anyone's personlities too badly!!
also first (very quick) attempt at drawing you guys:

These look awesome! I'm liking the group dynamic we've got going on here ^^
What a wonderful crew! I like your "oh-god-why" face ;)
And I join you guys in some sense... As a feline trainer :3

Yay, another skald! =D I actually skimmed through the comic to get a grasp of the clothing style and the straps + zigzag pattern seems pretty universal in Minna-verse, so I imagine our crew doesn't have an uniform and people just took whatever clothes they had ^^

Personally, I was just like "Okay, I can't draw, let's do something really simple" :P At least there's leather and a black collar! I would have loved to add all the stuff, but that would have just been a mess and I would have given up before I actually got somewhere ^^'

I think it looks good! I actually like the fact that all of us have different uniforms, it makes the team feel haphazardly thrown toghether xD

Actually, I think the team I'm supposed to be in consists of a bunch of scientists from Mora. I'm just tagging along to record their process. I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, which is why I ended up with you guys :P

(rifle slung on the back to hide the fact that I suck at drawing guns. Tried to combine the standard military uniform with the mage uniform. So I get a dumb cape. Trimmed with raven feathers. The graphic on it is based on an old depiction of Odin. Glasses are meant to be more like goggles, based on Hanji Zoe's glasses - also, hands - how do they even work?)
Name: Váfuður Magnusson
Age: 22
Nationality: Icelandic
Area of Birth: Egilsstaðir
Gender: Male
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Mage (seidkarl), soldier, farmer, academic
Languages: Icelandic, Norwegian, muddles through Danish and Swedish. Finnish is fascinating, if incomprehensible.
More Danish in soul, really. Has an unhealthy interest in the past and wanderlust for an Icelander.
His father is a peasant, but his mother is an academic (a law-speaker, in fact). Not terribly rich, he was able to afford academic education, if only to become a government clerk. As a youth he had been afflicted with rather disturbing nightmares, but it is only in his teens that those were recognized as proper signs of awakening magic potential. Already in Reykjavik for his clerical studies, he moved to the Academy of Seidur where he was a moderately successful student. He is now serving his military service, working in tandem with Norwegian teams to clean up more of the Norwegian shores. During the off-season, he returns to the family farm to help with the chores. He also helps the town through the less battle-oriented runes and magic.

Oho, another snk fan! (Or at least, I have been in that fandom!)
This looks really cool, but I must say I'm rather sad I didn't wait to start drawing everybody because now I have no space on my page and too many new people help? Looks like I'll have to start another page eventually.

Curry used to have really long hair and managed to get 2 or 3 months into training without putting it up once. However, they got caught up in how cool their mane looked and forgot that it's very flammable about a week into flamethrower training. Good job Curry you're an idiot and also crazy

Done!
Once I've moved all the self-inserts out of the general SSSS Art Gallery thread, I'll ask whoever is the "owner" (i.e. creator of the earliest post) to edit it to spell out what this is for. Meanwhile, I'll ask Lenny, owner/creator of that thread, to update her first post and include a pointer to this new thread.
Thanks for asking! :)
Done.

Post by: Sunflower on March 22, 2015, 05:22:06 AM
In creating this thread, I missed some self-insert posts still in the main SSSS Art Gallery, which one person kindly bookmarked for me. I'm in the process of moving those now. However, it's 2 a.m. out here, so I may still miss one or two.
Meanwhile, it's possible I may have wrongly moved some posts that were mostly SSSS art with only an oh-by-the-way comment about someone else's self-inserts.
Either way, here's how to help me straighten things out:
1) PM me about wrongly placed posts, and I'll move them (whether your own or someone else's).
OR 2) If you created a post, you can copy the content into a new post in the correct thread, then delete your old post.
3) If you think of it, delete or edit any posts you made that were purely directional (such as this one!).
Thanks for your patience. And carry on with the great self-inserts -- they look like a lot of fun!

useless oddball Helen 'Haiz' Olaussen
I'm aware Helen isn't a very nordic name but it's my name and helen/helene is pretty widespread here so I'm gonna pretend it survived into the 90's norway
Age: ……..20
Nationality: ……..Norwegian
Area of birth: ……..Hitra
Gender: ……..N/A (ze/hir pronouns. prefers 'hin' in norwegian)
Immunity: ……..Yes
Profession: ……..Academic: Mage (seiðkid, or some other butchery of the word)
Languages: :norway: :finland: :iceland:
- Father is a hunter in the Norwegian military (previously farmer), mother is a Finnish academic (specializing in biology and farmingy science I guess) that moved to Norway. + some sami ancestry down the line.
(my irl mother is czech so. I'm keeping my dual nationality and trilinguality)
- Very good at drawing, very bad at research
- Knows how to archery! which is absolutely uSeLEss in this setting. Alas, I don't like guns.
- Believes in all the gods. at the same time. Has 'access' to both known types of magic, but is more trained at runesy stuff.
- Scared of the unknown. scared of trolls. scared of having to be a productive adult. scared
- somewhat autistic and obsessive compulsive. refuses to wear uniforms because they're uncomfortable as heck and I just can't deal with that
- A natural at magic, but awful at practising, so while I'm good at what I do when I do it.... I usually have no idea what or how to do it.
- Carries a pouch-belt full of useless (and some not-so-useless! look at these runes) trinkets to fiddle with.
- too honest and open for own good
- pretends to hate swedes but doesn't actually. doesn't have the guts to hate anyone
- never intended for any of this to happen

As a swede I think Helen is common in the nordic countries. Helena is probably more common though :)I don't know a single norwegian helena, but i know several helen and especially helene. There are also a dozen variants on how to pronounce them and I have yet to meet a teacher that will get my name and/or pronounciation right on the first try because "I know someone named x and I'm so used to it!"
I think even my own brother says my name wrong. For those who wonder, it's Helen with a long second e, like helén,, not hélen or hellen.
(plus there are variants like Ellen, Elen, Ellinor, Helle............ i first thought Hilda and Hilde were norse, but they're german, so I'm just sticking to my birth name after all)

Helena is common in Sweden at least! It sounds like your name is pronounced like it would be in Sweden ^^ I'm used to getting my name wrong all the time as well.

Here is me. (http://indieanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Mage-Me1.jpg)
Oh, I should probably do a character description thing too. Here it goes:
Kahli
Age...15
Nationality...Finn
Area of Birth...??
Gender...Female
Immunity...Yes
Profession...Just kinda wanders around the forest doing mage stuff
Languages... :finland:, Elvish (She found a LotR book in the old world and taught herself the languages she found in it)
Other stuff: Likes hats. Can do archery but is bad at it. curious. agrees with Lalli on the topic of cities. collects random objects from the silent world as well as interesting looking sticks, rocks and leaves for no apparent reason. Seems shy and quiet but is really just an introvert. Very perceptive. Usually sees trolls as poor suffering people rather than monsters (but has no problem with killing them). Doesn't easily get scared. Very go-with-the-flow. She generally lives outside the safe-zone because she has a case of wanderlust, although she mostly sticks to the forests, avoiding the troll- infested cities. If she is spending time in a base or town it is by no means permanent, she'd just be stopping by for a night or two to get supplies you can't find in the forest.

Oh, I should probably do a character description thing too. Here it goes:
Kahli
Age...15
Nationality...Finn
Area of Birth...??
Gender...Female
Immunity...Yes
Profession...Just kinda wanders around the forest doing mage stuff
Languages...Finnish (How do you make a little flag?), Elvish
Other stuff: Likes hats, can do archery but is bad at it, extreme introvert, curious, agrees with Lalli on the topic of cities.
For the flags, write :country name:

(https://41.media.tumblr.com/ed150815a18ef2c61a6bba1e30c392da/tumblr_nlfnfm3pKK1suxlkro1_540.jpg)Yep yep gonna make an understandable character description now
Karri (their parents made... interesting name choices)
Age...... 18 (made myself about two years older because cleanser training most likely takes a while)
Nationality...... Norwegian
Area of Birth...... most likely Aurland
Gender...... Female
Immunity...... Yes
Profession...... Cleanser, Scavenger
Languages...... :norway: (native) :iceland: (left over from minimal education so she can barely make basic conversation)
Other notes:
- Not generally quite as crazy as they are in the two comics I drew, just very very talkative and enthusiastic about the things that interest them. Generally doesn't actually threaten bodily harm on a regular basis
- Has a habit of picking things they like up before burning everything else down, so whatever the mission is they will probably end up with 40% more old-world trinkets because of their sticky fingers
- Very food-, "science"-, and cat-motivated. If you bribe them with any of the above ("WHAT IS THIS TREASURE. A BILL NYE BOOK. MARRY ME" -curry, probably) they will do actually anything
- Their old-world ancestors were actually tourists just trapped in Norway once countries starting closing borders and halting air travel
- their bun is distinctly off-center because they caught the left half of her hair on fire and therefore that side is much shorter than the other, so they have to put it sideways to catch all those dumb burnt strands that they refuse to cut
Edit 5/31: wow I missed the pronouns in these

*ahem*
Clara “Piney” Bergström
Age: ……..18
Nationality: ……..Swede
Area of birth: ……..Svenstavik
Gender: ……..Female
Immunity: ……..Yes
Profession: ……..Military: Cleanser
Languages: :sweden: :iceland:
Everyone told her she shouldn’t join the military, so she joined the military. Those people were right, but she’ll get over her fear of fire eventually.
Adding some more to mine:
-Both parents born in Sweden, but there's some German in there a ways back
-Mildly allergic to cats, but purposefully didn't tell anyone in the army this (is often sniffly)
-Kind of hates being told what to do, but always does it anyway
-Is a lefty, if you can't tell from the picture
-Doesn't like having to burn buildings, because abandoned buildings are aesthetically pleasing to her and it also makes her sad
-Will only talk to people if they talk to her first
-Can't stand being around people for very long, but quite often gets lonely

What you mean obnoxious?? It's super cute!
I have a feeling that our team will consist of two different types of people: those who nope at the sight of danger and those that blow up everything they see without thinking of the consequences. Makes me wonder who put the team together xD

no but seriously though, every single one of you looks amazing and I really really want to draw you all!!! but since the week just started and there are Things To Do I might be a little too low on time and brain juices to do you any justice just yet, but i promise. it will hapen

I think there's a book about fixing mechanical stuff on one of my shelves, let me just grab it and then I should be able to fix anything that breakes down, no worries! I also think there was one about first aid... *shuffles through books* Ah, yes, here it was! I can do some basic medical aid as well now ^_^
I'm not a hunter though, someone else needs to fill those shoes. I do know how to build some small traps on the other hand, so I'll help out a little!

Post by: Laufey on March 23, 2015, 11:38:36 AM
Stats:
- almost blind but hears and senses movement extremely well
- can only move fast backwards, good at retreating into a hiding place, rubbish at actually chasing anyone
- relies heavily on ambush, climbs well although slowly, is very quiet
- has a good reach due to the accordion-like body and captures prey by suddenly lurching forward as it walks past, in a similar manner as the ceiling troll
- EDIT because of Fimbulvarg's comment: actually makes an accordion-like sound when lurching forward. Nobody knows how and why, it is a mystery. :D
- as long as you don't knock anything over and keep your voice down you'll probably go unnoticed; my troll-sona can't really see you if you stand still and stay silent
Happy hunting! :D

- Thinks killing trolls is super fun and may get a tad overexcited when fighting
- Hasn't quite killed one barehanded yet, but it's definitely on the to-do list!
- Is literate, but doesn't make the fact known to many
- The staff may only be good for blunt force, but as a smallish person the extra reach is definitely appreciated, and there are spare knives in the boots, up the sleeves and occasionally tying up the hair because a girl can never have too many sharp pointy things!

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been any trolls already (same with medics and mechanics)! You definitely captured the creepy "has this thing really been a human?" feeling that the trolls have.

I feel like we're the pool of applicants for the original crew. ;D called in when they have the money for more ventures. Could be really fun. So I think we need a doc/some sort roleplay thing. What do you guys think?
There is actually a SSSS roleplaying thread somewhere around, they have rules for classes and health and stuff and it's amazing! We should start a roleplay session on one of the chats or something! ;D We'd need someone to be the gamemaster though...and the different timezones and schedules may prove to be a problem... :(

There is actually a SSSS roleplaying thread somewhere around, they have rules for classes and health and stuff and it's amazing! We should start a roleplay session on one of the chats or something! ;D We'd need someone to be the gamemaster though...and the different timezones and schedules may prove to be a problem... :(
I am a DM. I use pathfinder/my own system. . . there is always forum based roleplay. Like http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2434538. And I have lots of experience with those too. Those generally move slower and are 100% text based. Idk.

I feel like we're the pool of applicants for the original crew. ;D called in when they have the money for more ventures. Could be really fun. So I think we need a doc/some sort roleplay thing. What do you guys think?

Using your self-insert in that rpg system does come with the risk of said self-insert dying horrendously, just so you know.
This is something I may be able to help with - if enough are interested. I have what we could call extensive experience in play-by-post roleplaying from spending time with friends on forums. You have a game master and players, a roleplaying thread as well as an out of character thread, in which tactics and plot are discussed. You write up your response to the gm's situation or to other player's post and updates move the plot forward and it reads as a kind of collaborative story. (if albeit of low quality because it tends to be directly correlated to the quality of writing or of the writing prompt). It's an imperfect art, to say the least and a roleplay can easily stall due to a number of reasons, but if done right it is quite a bit of fun (especially if you like to write - it's like continuous writing improv).
Nor does it need to be dangerous to self-insert. In the spirit of the source material, it can be scary, even tense, but we can avoid player casualties (as long as nothing incredibly dumb is done) and focus on other themes - exploration, discovery, friendship, an emphasis on dungeon crawling over pure stabbity stab - it's all a matter of writing style. Scenarios could range from checking out an infected island to going on a whale hunt.
If some of you are interested, I could set up a demo in a week or two (I will soon have considerable amount of free time), and this could be tried out.
These are examples of past stuff I've done, if someone needs something more concrete than my awkward description:

Leading participants include P__ (the project lead), FinnishViking, Korppi, Fimbulvarg, and others whose names I'm sure I'm forgetting. ThisCat, Rollo, and kex were active too, in the early days.
If you want to launch your self-insert characters into play, I'm sure the RPG people would be pleased to test their system. (With Fim's warning about the risk of sudden death in mind...)

Same! I'm so game, although it's been a very long time since I have done ANY roleplaying so I will probably be realllyyyyy rusty? I think it would be super fun though (and properly chaotic to boot)

Tis not a big problem, I often wait a while for responses. As long as the majority of the RPers don't mind giving recaps, and such. Things go rather smoothly.

I am def okay with giving recaps it gives me an excuse to summarize things, but with added sarcasm and humor.

i would maybe join for rp thing but i think i'm super bad at rp'ing so i have no idea
also i'm too tired to read through everything that has been said right now so maybe i'll. look into it later or something.
From what I've seen of you creative impulses you'll do great. With text based RPs remember one-liners suck. They are really hard to reply to, and if you have multiple characters, don't have them move as a group all the time. I am playing Lalli and Sigrun in a RP and I do have them interact but not exclusively with each other. ^_^
I really like D&D, but I've never done any online RPing before, so I'm not too sure how it works differently, and there's a high chance I'll be failing miserably at it for a while :-\It's much different but kinda the same. I feel it's more interaction based rather than battle. (Well in my Shaman King one it was equal) as long as you have good personalitys with your characters there isn't much failing. ^_^ I started learning how to write good fiction from roleplay.

^^ this. As a person who has, um, "gamemastered" with friends in personal systems, I've seen a lot on how to roleplay well with just text. However, it is tons of fun with good characters.
On an entirely different note, here's the WIP of my insert. You can probably tell that I was drawing three of my least favorite things - guns, people, and myself. (Not to say I dislike all of them, just that I have a hard time drawing them...) I dunno, thoughts?

Age: 24
Nationality: Norwegian
Area of Birth: Leikanger
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Troll hunter
Languages: :norway: :iceland:
Gudrun has been training under the watchful eye of her dad to be one of Norway's military élite from about the time she learned how to speak, and learned how to shoot as she was still taking her tottering first steps. But just because you're good at something doesn't mean you like it. So despite the fact that she's a crack shot and a clever military mind, Gudrun loathes her work and yearns for the opportunity to go somewhere nice and safe and sophisticated—a shot at the big city, Reykjavík, is what she really wants more than anything, possibly doing something in the city's high culture, like music or writing. But until she catches her big break, it's the daily grind of troll hunting for her.
– Father's side of the family hails from Stavanger, mother's side were originally pre-Rash immigrants from Poland.
– Control freak. Enormous control freak.
– Spends a great deal of her free time writing; prefers Icelandic because of its greater accessibility.
– Wants to learn all the languages of the Known World, but Finnish is proving a bit of an obstacle.
– Fierce holly tea addict. Spends the rest of her free time trying to devise ways to make it stronger.
– Sometimes hides out during her shifts to knit things for her girlfriend. Totally worth the tongue-lashing from her boss.

heh. i spent all weekend thinking about it but i didn't have any free time to sit down and draw or write it out! so when the weekend was over i had to get it all out of my system. i'm glad you like it! and i'm sure your & my character would probably cross paths sooner or later, what with it being a much smaller world. :)

Awesome, an Icelandic one! If I can make one suggestion though, Eriksdottir is not an Icelandic name but Eiríksdóttir would be. Sonja we do have, though it's a rare one. Icelandic naming laws are super strict; here you can only choose from an already approved list of names unless you have an acceptable reason to suggest something that's not on it, and even in that case the naming committee can just decide they're not going to accept it, pick another one and pay the fee again. The names have to be able to decline in Icelandic, they have to be spelled according to the rules of Icelandic and can have no letters that don't exist in Icelandic alphabet, such as C.
Come to think of it if any of you need any help with Icelandic names I'm all yours. Just PM me with what you have in mind. :)

Icelandic naming laws are super strict; here you can only choose from an already approved list of names unless you have an acceptable reason to suggest something that's not on it, and even in that case the naming committee can just decide they're not going to accept it, pick another one and pay the fee again. The names have to be able to decline in Icelandic, they have to be spelled according to the rules of Icelandic and can have no letters that don't exist in Icelandic alphabet, such as C.

Cause mages are cool. Any way, I think I should have gone with my second idea, since I don't think I have any
What do you all think? Shaman or Medicine man?
Post by: Vafhudr on March 25, 2015, 09:36:41 PM
I mean, this is not really about actual ancestors or anything. Some people here seem to have some and use that as basis for their backstory.
I have no Scandinavia related ancestor - unless I feel particularly pedantic and suggest that my ancestors came from Normandie, who in turns are famous for having been a viking kingdom for a while. But like who cares. I made a dude from Iceland. I wanted a mage because magic is cool. Danes or Finns are more my jam, but Iceland, in lore, is more closely to what I would like. Just go with what you would like to be in such an adventure.

What do you all think? Shaman or Medicine man?
But like Vafhudr said - my main ancestry is Scottish but cleansers sounded more fun to me than vikings (well, warriors/troll hunters/the like). Also just so I could be like Emil.

I actually have Norwegian and Swedish ancestry, so it's not actually too far of a stretch?? It's just mixed in with a lot of other pale countries (I am pretty much a vampire who reflects sunlight okay) But yes. No officially trained medic. No officially trained mechanic. I told my freddiethefantastic that if they ever made a(n? depends on house you say this) ssssona they need to be a medic/mechanic/COMBO because we are going to break everything and die because we're all too crazy

Illuminators are exactly what you read about. They were specialized scribes who embellished manuscripts with calligraphy and other arts. They are the reason that medieval manuscripts are often very beautiful to look at - which makes sense in this setting, where skald once more copy books by hand. It's gonna take a while - might as well make them pretty.

Yes, you can all all the chocolate you want. I usually have plenty.
I know, I was wondering that too about the various Native tribes. I think the Plains tribes would have little problems surviving, lots of open space, but they'd be really technology deprived, more so than Finland in story. Hmm. . . so many ideas.

Age: 15, but super close to 16
Nationality: Norwegian
Area of birth: Aurland
Gender: Agender (No pronoun preference)
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Medic, and supposedly a Mechanic (Medchanic, hehehe)
Languages: :norway:, :iceland:
Was trained to be a medic, but when she joined the army, she suddenly got the idea that she could also be a mechanic. I mean, she could use a screwdriver, how hard could it be? She soon realized however, that she didn't actually know anything about fixing things. "What is the tool that does the turny thing? A wrench??" Oh well. She couldn't just back out!
A few other notable things:
She is...... PUNSTOPPABLE (forgive me please)
Is hella shy and cannot actually talk to people and be social?
Must be prepared for anything, so wherever she goes, the first aid bag goes.
Idk man, is there anything else I should write here? Not sure, not sure.

After realizing at a young age that her lot in life would be cleaning up other people's mistakes, Caja-somewhat irritably- joined the military so that she would be in a position to do so.
*Basic medical skills include patching up wounds, setting bones, and stitching up cuts. Don't ask her to perform surgery.
*Enjoys infuriating Swedes by mumbling when talking to them. Has a fascination with old architecture and textiles.
*Personality varies between spacey, irritable, and excited, much like anyone else. Is always tired due to lack of restful sleep. Claims to have vivid dreams.

There are actually so many of you making ocs so quickly that the 12-square grid I initially was too small so I had to redraw it. Then, the 15-square grid was also too small, and the 18-square grid, and the 24...

Age: ……..............25 (assumed)

Area of birth: ……..Unknown
Gender: …….........Male
Immunity: ……......Yes (assumed)
Profession: …….....Military: Scout/Overwatch
Languages: :denmark:, :finland: (mangled), :ukraine: (mangled), :usa:
History: Encountered during Operation [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] near the shattered wreckage of a TU-95 bomber; due to his skills at survival he was conscripted into the operation as a night scout rather than wasting resources to get him out of the area.
Currently working as night scout at [site redacted].
-Survival tracking and hunting skills
-excellent shot
-someone taught him runic magic but they're not very effective beyond the one rune that explodes when something touches it
-keeps quiet mostly
Hmm. Age: Assumed. Place of birth: Unknown. Nationality: Assumed (and I'm assuming none of his finders ever saw or read Dr. Zhivago (http://www.shmoop.com/doctor-zhivago/pasha-antipov-timeline.html)). Speaks at least two languages previously assumed dead.
Found near the wreckage of.... a strange, semi-legendary Technological Thing from one of the pre-Rash Great Powers. Precise place encountered, purpose of the team that found him, and current work site all *highly* redacted on orders from the highest level of the Nordic Council.
Former investigative reporter Sunflower would be *highly* interested in following up on this mysterious night scout's story... except she's on deadline editing the Year 91 edition of The Scandinavian Encyclopedia of Edible Garden Plants. :P (Freelance journalism doesn't pay any better in the Known World than in 2015.)

Haiz!! These are amazingly nifty! You captured everyone's likeness, *and* expression, *and* drawing style (where applicable). These could be in the New Yorker! (Extra credit for Accordion Monster.)
Curry!! You gathered us all into a grid, like the most best "Hollywood Squares" ever! (Plus, you made me look cuter than I really am.)
I'd better hurry up and post my SSSSona:
Sara Hållander
Age: ……..............Late 40s
Nationality: ...……..Swedish
Area of birth: ……..Mora suburbs
Gender: …….........Female
Immunity: ……......No
Profession: …….....Skald, domestic worker (cook, nanny)
Languages: :sweden: :iceland: :denmark: :norway: Some: :germany: :UK:
Twice divorced, once widowed. No children. Currently living with her brother (a diplomat and trade expert) and his family in Mora. Freelance scholar, translator, and editor. Knows a little about a lot. Used to work for Sverige Public Radio; still comes in once a week to organize their program libraries. Writes for the radio soap opera "Recovered Hearts" under a pen name.
Vastly curious about the Old World, but not very systematic in her approach (which is why she's not "Professor Hållander" today). Taught herself rudiments of two now-dead Old World languages out of sheer curiosity. Wishes she could go adventuring herself, but lack of Immunity, age, and an old leg injury would make her instant monster chow. Compensates by offering explorers way more background info than they ever asked for -- perfectly spelled.

Beautiful. And it's more my fault really but I's not a mask in mine but just a beard with a bandanna over my head, though your renditions are awesome. When I wear the bandanna in a certain way when I'm at work because of how much shaggy hair I'm trying to tame with it, it likes to tuft up like cat ears though.

Holy wowness - you actually DID draw everyone *is very impressed!* and those are such good likenesses as well :o Looking back over the pictures you hardly need the names at all because, well, you can tell who everyone is because they look like them! When we got the huge influx of self-inserts I honestly didn't think you'd be able to do it because there were just so many, but I see now the error of my ways, and shall never doubt your amazing mad-awesome skillz again :P
(heheh, I kinda look a mite
Also WALES!!! You're going to my hooooooommmmmmmeeeee! (Well, chances are you'll be down in Cardiff where most of the tourists end up, which is far away from my lovely hilly North, and I've left for uni now so not actually in Wales, but still…..). Handy hint if you do end up in one of the more Welsh speaking areas however, is if you make an effort to speak a bit of the language (hello, please, thank you and the like) you may just get extra ice-cream/bigger coffee/friendlier smiles ^_^ There are so few of us who speak the language now that it really melts our poor stubborn hearts when visitors are kind enough to learn a little :D

Everything looks so tidy in those boxes, but you've gotten us all down to a tee and don't you dare be modest about it! Well I'd say that this was done in a very distinctive and fairly consistent Curry-style, but you know your work best of course ;D Anyway, this is so so SO lovely!!!! ^_^ And boy do I love the expression on my face here, it's like looking in a mirror :P

blanket thank you for all your compliments!!! I'm so happy you like it!!!!
I wanna apologize for some people ending up a little on the sidelines or in the ~*Dark Corner*~ or for getting a bit wonky from the inking - what was I thinking, using my sharpest nib on the ridiculously thin paper? Also my internet was out of whack so I hope I didn't miss someone whose picture didn't load properly!! I could hardly search up reference pics for Sunflower's typewriter (which I didn't even need, the way I drew it......)
Curry: yeeeeep there are
and I admire your dedication to drawing detailed eyes even behind glasses
Wavewright62: aahhhahah perfect!! I love your creative choice of profession
Lenny: ahahahah I wanted to apologize for making you only a hair blob, but there wasn't a lot of material to got after!! I gave you a hand (it's a hand) as compensation. I'm glad you like it anyway!!
BarbaryLion22: thank you!!! I really hope I got everyone's personality right!! and i do so love to imitate the SSSSsona reality
Solokov: ahahah I'm sorry mine is a little messed up I'm glad you like it anyway!!
Gwenno: First of all thank you!!! and eeeeee yes, wales!! I don't think we'll be staying in Cardiff, I haven't checked yet, but my mom is all eXpLORE EvERYThInG and we don't usually stay in big cities for long. I'm gonna keep your language tip in mind!! The welsh language is ridiculous and beautiful. ALso I know that when we visited the baltic countries, we got a lot more service and help when mom spoke Russian than if we tried English, so that's definitely a thing
edit: .......they don't actually like russian in the baltic countries. they just didnt understand english. woops

Not a problem, it was my fault for posting a WIP....Also I apparently didn't learn my lesson because here's another one. I've been raging at 2004 mx fireworks because every now and then it'll internal error and lock up... as a result I've been compulsively saving.

I'm so sorry, I just got too excited about you going to Wales (and also maybe bored because I have actual work I should be doing instead -oops :-\ ) so here is my ssssona teaching you some of the most important Welsh you'll need (namely, "Good morning! Can I have an ice-cream please" ), while sitting on top of one of the nicer castles near where I live ^_^
I don't have access to a scanner now, but photo sorta works I guess, although it seems to have distorted it a tad.... Heheh, I'm also not too fab at drawing quickly so please excuse that, but if I'd wait until I actually had time to draw something acceptable you'd probably be back from your holiday already and you wouldn't know how to ask for ice-cream *gasp*

Yes I was inspired to give him a mask because in other peoples work it looks better... also when I did the beard it made him look like homer simpson.
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2livreq.png)
Coats based off a camo coat I've been working on for about... three years. random cloth base with burlap over it and then patches of burlap dyed and stained and roughed up to look more natural and break up the humanoid shape.. Kinda ghillieish but not really a ghillie suit.
Yes those are runes in the suppressor that are uninspired and spell out "silence"... if I ever decide to be arsed enough to go through the process ( buy it, register it with a government agency, hope and pray to the god emperor of mankind that they deign to not reject your application because a q looks like a 4 or something equally silly, and then pay a 200 dollar tax on it and that's only if the local state allows it) I indent to have it laser engraved with the same runes wrapping around in a repeating spiral pattern which I'll then fill with thermochromatic paint...Personally I think it would look wicked sweet as it warmed and cooled while firing, going from a flat black to various colors.
Seriously that's one of the major things I like about most european countires, is that suppressors/silencers/whathave you are considered basic safety equipment and you can go down to the corner store and just buy one with not hassle beyond paying for it..and before I run my mouth of this is where I'm gonna end my social commentary.

I love your hair and that coat looks really comfy! Let's eat pastries together! :DHeh, thanks X3 non-blow-dry hair for the win I guess! I'm glad the random coat looks like a coat too...
PASTRY QUEST OM NOM NOM ;)
first of all, blanket thank you to everybody!! You guys are super fun to draw and I'm thinking that I'll do this for everybody who makes a SSSSona (good facial diversity practice and such 8))Owl, you are SO CUTE!!! I just drew you and once I finish the other drawing on the page (the cleansers in ACTION POSES, WOW) I'll post it!! I can't get over how adorable you are.ERMAHGERD CLEANSERS!!¡1 *excited dance*
You drew me?! :0 ooooh!

HELLO I AM HAIZ KEEPEr OF PROMISES
I HAVE DRAWN E V E R Y O N E
............ as wonky ink portraits that almost didn't fit on the page
I hope I didn't miss anyone!!! and I hope I didn't get anyone wrong!!! BEHOLD
edit: I really wanted to make a huge picture with everyone in action, like that sketch I did wayyy back when there were only four OCs, but I currently lack time and mental/physical capacity to do that with 25 OCs, eHEHEHH..... maybe one day. in the future.
I wanted to do something before I'm in wales for a week, so THIS WAS IT
frick, I better upload this before somebody else uploads an OC!
There are actually so many of you making ocs so quickly that the 12-square grid I initially was too small so I had to redraw it. Then, the 15-square grid was also too small, and the 18-square grid, and the 24...
hhhhh things i discovered while drawing these:
-if motivated, i can draw 14 headshots in 40 minutes
-my style has nO CONSISTENCY and is heavily influenced by the style of the character i'm drawing
Ah these are amazing! I love the ink, Haiz.
...also, it was surprisingly easy to find myself without looking at names. Thanks both of you for capturing my unimpressed face very well. ;)

Cleansers from left to right: Callipygous, Curry stop that, Piney
They're probably running away from something dumb they did that ended up in an explosion and Piney, being afraid of fire, is not wanting to be left behind while Curry runs like an idiot.
OrigamiOwl don't worry about being late, that means I had more effort left over to put into your headshot! I love pencils okay

You got me :D Also it would be a "No don't leave me, what if I get lost!?" We can safely say that I very little or nothing to do with that explosion.

Waaaah, seeing all the SSSSonas interacting is great! I've a feeling you guys shouldn't be trusted around the rare and expensive books however, although that may be completely unjustified…...

Can we add some kind of poll or something to keep track on how many we have of each job? Maybe it will make it easier for new people to pick out their jobs? I know I already picked skald, but I was considering cleanser as well, but figured there would be tons of them :P

Night scouts are relatively scarce as well, though I am thinking of remaking my self-insert with that in mind - there is an appeal to the wilderness. Even if it is full of scary monsters. It's something I am at least vaguely familiar with. Plus the more time I spend on this forum the deeper my interest in Finland grows.
Plus now that I have read Lauffy's small essay on staves I don't think I would ever have the patience for that! Better just straight up talk to the spirit.

I'm a bit torn on whether or not I want to see the ax part in action. On one hand it would answer my burning curiousity - HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK WAIT MAYBE IT'S ACTUALLY GENIUS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW YET - on another hand my self insert is a troll with limited ducking options... like, I can always quickly retreat into a hole in a wall but the worrying thing about axes is that they can go through walls as well.

Not gonna lie, I'm expecting the precious scope to shatter and the rifle axe to lodge itself firmly in the head of a troll that subsequently absconds with both the rifle and the axe.
But that's how progress is made! Progress is 90% failing spectacularly and trying to learn something worthwhile from it.
No one would want to kill an accordion troll. It's like, one of the seven wonders of the post-rash world.

You look so pretty! But that axe/rifle looks dangerous, both to you as a user and whoever happens to be your target. How do you swing it properly? =O
I thought a sash was like a big ribbon?? It sounds very usefull though! (Maybe not as a meal???)

There haven't been any since Callipygous posted hers. Surprisingly enough there are lots of Skalds and Mages here (I actually also made an OCD list with everybody's info, a file with everyone's picture, and a list with people grouped by profession? eheheheh it's a habit that I can't stop but if anybody wants it I could PM it or post it here.)
Can we add some kind of poll or something to keep track on how many we have of each job? Maybe it will make it easier for new people to pick out their jobs? I know I already picked skald, but I was considering cleanser as well, but figured there would be tons of them :P
"Can someone, uh, please take this out of my hand??"This is actually adorable and I feel bad for your SSSSona, being stuck on a team with 2 very... 'enthusiastic' cleansers. Good luck not having too many heart attacks ("Hey, Piney, you might want to run, I might have accidentally set the entire hospital on fire. Hate it when that happens, except not really.

Adorable picture! You could easily be the Mikkel of a team. Speaking of it, how do you feel about performing surgeries? Hopefully you brought the sharpest knife in the pantry. And a shovel maybe. A shovel is good for fending off the grosslings and it doubles as a spatula.
The buying pastries part might be harder to pull off (cf the bonus comic).

Adorable picture! You could easily be the Mikkel of a team. Speaking of it, how do you feel about performing surgeries? Hopefully you brought the sharpest knife in the pantry. And a shovel maybe. A shovel is good for fending off the grosslings and it doubles as a spatula.I'd be fine with surgeries :P maybe. Depends how complicated they are O__O but common sense should prevail! ;P I actually used to get told a lot that I should go into medicine, but I'm not very good with theory haha. However, if you need precision slices and stitches and splints and dressings then *nods*. I /suppose/ a lot of stuff I know could carry over into more serious first aid... Except pumpkin carving. O___O
The buying pastries part might be harder to pull off (cf the bonus comic).
And I'm totally fine with blood. Unless it's animal blood. That makes me sad.
A shovel does sound handy! Usually, I prefer to just whollop things but if there's something sharp and metal involved then that would be extra good, especially with grosslings and the like.
Hmmmm...the pastries.... Do I work for money or pastries... Choices...

Here is the link to the very WIP information station. Only thing that is up-to-date is the list of professions (and yes it really is up-to-date, KauniitaUnia is even on there :p)
Speaking of which, that's a really pretty rendition of the uniform! I love your penwork.
so cool!!!!! and why were you debating posting it it looks fantastic!!! also wow you know how to draw a rifle
(I hope nobody ever feels discouraged from posting your OC because you ALL deserve to be here!!! (and if you can't draw describe your SSSS-sona anyway, someone might draw it?))
(also aaa yes Simo Häyhä........ i kinda had a presentation about the winter war in 9th grade and did the whole shebang with newspaper front pages from the time and was all and sIMO DIDN'T EVEN DIE DURING THE WAR HE WAS SHOT IN THE JAW AND WOKE UP AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER HE LIVED TILL 2002 ACTUALLY and all that)
fantastic
Awww thank you both!!! I am honestly so happy that you like it :)
Simo Häyhä's story is pretty amazing, isn't it? It happened to be one of those random history facts that I had lying around in the cluttered mess that is my brain, so its weird but cool that I could somehow fit it into this context! I have a habit of spending hours researching interesting/odd things while procrastinating or bored, which is why I knew of that c:
Also the information station thingy looks great so far! It feels weird that I'm on something official-ish for this fanbase after just lurking around
[EDIT: wait, am I allowed to use 'd*mn'? I don't know how strict the rules here are here, so I'll just remove it for now...]

ame: Francesca (writing my name cos people in the comments of the comic already mistake me for a french guy... I'll probably not going to forget it anytime soon)
Age: 17 (18 in may and very afraid)
Nationality:
Area of birth: Ostersund
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Military,
Languages: :italy: :sweden: :iceland:(understands but doesn't talk or write too well(probably just lack of practice))
- her ancestors were a geek italian couple, who in the exact moment people vith the rash-illnes started to bite randomly other people, said with an epic voice: "Our time has come" and then they run away as far away from italy as they could trying to convince family and friends to join as well. They then stopped around Ostersund and tried to preserve their culture
- sometimes uses latinisms that no one usually understands
- cat-like person
- curious person
- initially joined the cleaners because she is a pyromaniac at heart, but after 2 years understood that she was more interested in exploring, so then she decided to became a scaut.
- always wanted to see those far cyties her ancestors came frome and that her elder family members always talked about.
-very lightly astigmatic, but enought to be annoying. (usually doesn't wear her glasses becous she simply forgets)
- pretty forgetful
- thinks finnish is a very funny lenguage (there are a lot of finnish names/words that in italian saund just hilarious/weird, the quality of the false friends (?) between ths two lenguages is the best thing ever)
Edit: forgot some very important parts of my personality last night
- So sassy she can't control it
- Strong mentality of "I rather cry or make fun of it than cry or panic"
- her laughter sounds like a mixture of hiccups and a dying chiken
P.S. drawing mysel not-chibi and without partial cat-like feathures has been extremly difficoult.

I believe we are currently in dire need of a Danish mechanic, if we are looking to fill niches.
Night scouts are relatively scarce as well, though I am thinking of remaking my self-insert with that in mind - there is an appeal to the wilderness. Even if it is full of scary monsters. It's something I am at least vaguely familiar with. Plus the more time I spend on this forum the deeper my interest in Finland grows.
Plus now that I have read Lauffy's small essay on staves I don't think I would ever have the patience for that! Better just straight up talk to the spirit.
Well Strelok is already a night scout/overwatch... I should add on mechanically inclined to the list as well.
((I know almost nothing about guns, but I heard that this one was once very popular amongst snipers in the Finnish army. Finnish marksman Simo Häyhä was famed for killing over 500 Soviet soldiers with this gun during the Winter War of WWII!))
Correct, additionally Finnish captures during the winter war were usually kept in better condition than the average soviet grunt's rifle. The mosin is one of the few firearms I would reasonably expect to work (after some severe TLC) after digging it up fifty to a hundred years later.
Updated profile for anyone interested:
Current image (http://i58.tinypic.com/2livreq.png)
Strelokov
Age: ……..............25 (assumed)
Nationality: ...……..Danish (assumed)
Area of birth: ……..Unknown
Gender: …….........Male
Immunity: ……......Yes (assumed)
Profession: …….....Military: Nigh Scout/Overwatch
Languages: :denmark:, :finland: (mangled), :ukraine: (mangled), :usa:
History: Encountered during Operation [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] near the shattered wreckage of a TU-95 bomber; due to his skills at survival he was conscripted into the operation as a night scout rather than wasting resources to get him out of the area.
Currently on leave from Project [Redacted].
Skill group: Survival, tracking, hunting and mechanical repair/re-engineering.
Additional notes:
-someone taught him runic magic, but they're not very effective beyond the one rune that explodes when something touches it, and the set that he engraved into the silencer and action of his rifle.
-keeps quiet mostly
-sixth sense for finding hidden ammunition caches in the silent world
Addendum 1:
Do not allow this individual to work on vehicles without authorization and supervision. I don't care how useful the CT-9 is with a cabin controlled pneumatic cannon with dash hud linked video sight on it is, that was still an unauthorized change of design and the addition sacrificed the radio mast, and took five days to undo.
Addendum 2:
And it doesn't matter that the cannon turned a giant into a kebab. We still had to kill the damned thing and it woke up the grosslings that were in the building it was pinned to.

Here I am leaning over a park bench, at probably about the same angle you might see me leaning over my desk to talk to people. You can't see in this photo, but I have lots of hair. I generally put it up in a clip or pins at work.

I actually only started practicing drawing like three days ago, so I'm still at the stage where bodies are confounding me. Also, image hosting seems like too much work.
Anyway...
[Insert brilliant drawing of a Filipino male with short black curly hair wearing a Catholic priest's robe. And glasses. Please just look up reference pictures for Filipinos and priests so I don't spam this with links or anything. Sorry.]
Name........................Karl Manúelsson/ Carlo Rodel "Kaloy" Marapao de los Santos
Age............................18
Nationality................Icelandic
Area of birth.............Reykjavík
Gender......................Male
Immunity...................No
Profession................Mage: Priest
Languages................Icelandic, Filipino, English (words only)
Carlo is part of a minority with 329 people in total. Along with his fellow Filipinos, Carlo has tried to preserve his own culture. Their greatest feat is creating the last ever Jollibee restaurant in the world (sure, it might be a school, as well, but hey. It's Jollibee). Carlo's ancestors can be traced all the way back to Manila. Specifically, somewhere in Makati City. As an Icelandic mage, he goes to to the Academy of Seiðu. However, as a Filipino Icelandic mage, Carlo is expected to be a priest for one of the three churches around Reykjavík (there are only three priests, including him) every Sunday, so right now, he is very confused about his beliefs. He can speak Filipino because of Filipino class held every Sunday after church.
Also, he ain't going on no trip to no unknown, no sirree.
Carlo isn't actually my name, but my name is not an approved Icelandic name, so I used another one instead. Those aren't my last names, either. Self-insert with fake name, yay!

And a high-five for a Pinoy character! My brother (who works for the U.S. State Dept.) and his family lived in Makati for several years and really liked it. I love the thought of a Jollibee becoming a precious heritage site. :)

Profession: Falconer
Languages: Mandarin & Icelandic
Bio Points
- Bound by her severe allergy and strong obligation to family, she spend much of her life cooped in the countryside caring for the farmlands.
- Her siblings, much older than she, have long since scattered to the four winds. She only knows them from worn out photographs, but they sent back letters of their epic adventures. But then their correspondences trickled to a halt. She never really found out what became of them, and imagining the worst, her childlike wonder of the outside warped to fear and bitterness. From then on, she resolved not to abandon her family like they did.
- Her parents and the ancestors before them were insistent on maintaining their Asian heritage even through the calamity. Though she is adamant on acknowledging only the Icelandic gods and customs, she learned to speak and write her ancestor's tongue fluently. Her Icelandic was proficient in childhood when she attended the local school program, but gradually declined from disuse at her household.
- At adolescence, her father found an injured peregrine falcon, unable to migrate away for the winter. Seeing that she was lonely, he gave it to her as a companion. As she nursed it back to health, she discovered that her avian companion was just as clever (if not more) and just as immune to the Illness as felines. She took to training pet how to hunt down vermin Beasts and scout for larger trolls.
- Over the years, she started accompanying cleansers during the spring purges (with a mask to keep allergens at bay) and the occasional scouting trip at Silent outskirts, but invariably gravitates back home to care for her elderly parents.
- Inevitably, the morning comes when parents, tucked in to bed the night before, never woke up again. After performing the burial rites (Asian customs, just this once out of respect for them) she's left for the first time untethered by any obligations or responsibilities. Despite her fright and grief, she couldn't help but feel that childhood hunger for adventure rekindling just beneath the surface. She faintly remembers, just about a month ago, an stranger from the outside countries giving her a unique job proposal. With nothing left for her here, she just might take up the offer...

So, hey guys! I noticed that there was a lot of SSSS OCs circulating the Tumblr tag, so I decided to make one for myself!
Age: Mid 20s
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Nationality: Icelandic
Area of Birth: Reykjavik
Profession: Falconer
Languages: Mandarin & Icelandic
Bio Points
- Bound by her severe allergy and strong obligation to family, she spend much of her life cooped in the countryside caring for the farmlands.
- At adolescence, her father found an injured peregrine falcon, unable to migrate away for the winter. Seeing that she was lonely, he gave it to her as a companion. As she nursed it back to health, she discovered that her avian companion was just as clever (if not more) and just as immune to the Illness as felines. She took to training pet how to hunt down vermin Beasts and scout for larger trolls.
- Over the years, she started accompanying cleansers during the spring purges (with a mask to keep allergens at bay) and the occasional scouting trip at Silent outskirts, but invariably gravitates back home to care for her elderly parents.
- Inevitably, the morning comes when parents, tucked in to bed the night before, never woke up again. After performing the burial rites (Asian customs, just this once out of respect for them) she's left for the first time untethered by any obligations or responsibilities. Despite her fright and grief, she couldn't help but feel that childhood hunger for adventure rekindling just beneath the surface. She faintly remembers, just about a month ago, an stranger from the outside countries giving her a unique job proposal. With nothing left for her here, she just might take up the offer...
So awesome! Both the bio/profession (I think falconry and other uses of birds will see a *huge* increase in the Known World) and the beautiful illustration.
That amazing antique-looking Chinese writing in the stamp at the lower left -- is that what they call "seal script"? What does it say?

Of course you can add it on!

My whole Google account is kinda like a huge, unsightly monster which I tend not to touch or think about unless I absolutely have to :)

Gosh, your design is lovely! Falconry seems like a really cool job!Thanks! The jacket design was something I had in my head for a long while, inspired partially by Mongolian falconers (https://www.google.com/search?q=mongolian+falconer&espv=2&biw=1688&bih=1464&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mqIcVbLaJYyyogSKpIDgAQ&ved=0CB0QsAQ&dpr=0.9).

How about port security, picking off potentially infected rats and mice (and other critters) that come off ships? That's always been a well-known vector of infection, going back to the Black Death and beyond.

I agree with this, the last time we had a plague over a third of the population died. Would not want to see that repeat, like, ever (we can argue that the plague was probably carried here by humans rather than rats but it did arrive via a ship). All ships go through rigorous quarantine and are most likely checked a few times on the way to Iceland but it pays to be careful.
The sea creatures Pessi mentioned might also be a hassle, especially seals because they like to occasionally wander on dry land. Maybe there could be work at making sure all the small islands around and near Reykjavík definitely are grossling-free?

Psst @SolarPoweredGirl, I think your last should end with -sdatter rather than -ssen if it's supposed to be a patronym.only if she's icelandic! lotsa -ssen names around in norway, for example *points at own name* mine means 'son of olaus' despite me not really being a son - nor is my dad, grandfather or even great-grandfather named olaus. i don't think anyone in the whole of norway is still called olaus. what a ridiculous name.
also wow so many great new self-inserts!! i don't have the brain juices to comment on everyone right now but WELCOME TO THE CREW(s)
Post by: Laufey on April 02, 2015, 05:18:15 PM
Icelanders are not allowed to have actual surnames as per the naming committee's rules, unless you're born into one of those few families that took a surname during the short time window when that was possible. That's why Jón Gnarr had to leave country to officially change his name to Jón Gnarr. These families are really rare however and I think their names must all be listed somewhere... plus since Icelanders don't take on the spouse's last name when they marry (for obvious reasons) some of these names may even have died out long ago.
I can help out with Icelandic names if it's needed by the way, just PM me. :)

In the previous version of Strelokov's profile he replaced the antennae mast on some vehicle with a pneumatic cannon that could pin a giant to a building like a giant kebab.That is awesome.

The top portion was transformed into a more modern-ish vest/waistcoat. The design were adapted to be sunflowers.
I gave you a cane because I was unsure how else to convey the information that you have a bad leg. For some reason you came out looking like an Edwardian schoolteacher. Miss Frizzle bled into the character concept, I am afraid. No colouration at this point because I frankly do not know where to start with regards to that. One day I'll make the jump to digital, but since I can barely draw in analog, this will have to wait, but the colour scheme is gold, blue, white, green. I considered giving you a sun hat, but considering you mentioned the bun-thing I tried to include that. My hair-game fell short for this and I had a hard time convey your particular hairstyle.
So yeah.
I tried.
Edit: how do I spoiler.

Alright. So. Sunflower. I have taken a stab at your OC.
I had to improvise for what you are wearing.
This is the base.Spoiler: show

Oh my goodness, this is WONDERFUL! Best Easter present ever!! Thank you so much!
You had no way of knowing, but I always envied the Scandinavian traditional dresses (like the bunad Haiz drew Sigrun wearing) and regretted not having anything that cute in my WASP-y ethnic background. (One of my aunts is Swedish-American and wears the most adorable dress from Dalarna on holidays.) Wish granted! :D
I like the cane idea. IRL my "leg injury" is just a knee sprain that never 100% healed, so sometimes it's sore and wobbly; I have to favor it in yoga and dance class. But I thought in the Known World they might not have as sophisticated physical therapy, and/or there would be a lot more risk of injury. Besides, I figured that would explain why I'm not charging off into the unknown like all you brave young people. (Like Taru, I could say "I would die immediately. And I, personally, do not want that.")
You also happened to hit on a color scheme I like. As you may have seen in the reference photo I posted, I have reddish-blond hair and green eyes, so I wear a lot of blues and greens. AND the hair looks very pretty!
Again, thanks so much for the wonderful picture!
The very grateful
Sunflower

Edit: how do I spoiler.
Deal with spoilers is this: forum doesn't support them at the moment. One of the first things that were requested to be added, but there were complications. As far as I'm aware, though, we should have working spoiler codes after the server move later on! For now, though, just resize the images to smaller sizes instead to get a similar effect.

Psst @SolarPoweredGirl, I think your last should end with -sdatter rather than -ssen if it's supposed to be a patronym.So like Yarasdatter? Or just Yarsdatter?
Post by: Fimbulvarg on April 03, 2015, 04:38:31 PM

For an Icelander it would be Yarasdottir.
Post by: SolarPoweredGirl on April 03, 2015, 06:50:09 PM
For an Icelander it would be Yarasdottir.ah I see.
Here is my completed SSSSona
Name: Maja Yarasdottir
Age: 16
Profession: Mage/Author. Writes spellbooks and sells them at different ports and markets. Obtains new magical knowledge through interviewing other mages she meets.
Pets: Snowy Owl (Bryndis)
Backstory: Maja's true ethnicity is Spain, but she has Icelandic citizenship and name, as her ancestors moved there coincidentally a year before the rash epidemic started. Her mother is a Cleanser, and her father is a Skald. At the age of seven, Maja found an abandoned Snowy Owl chick in her backyard, and took it in. Her family never pushed her to do anything she didn't want to, but she knew they wanted her to be a Cleanser. Instead, she leaned more towards her father's reputation. But her poems always turned out to be about magic, and her stories always starred and adventurous mage. It was then she discovered her true passion.

How about port security, picking off potentially infected rats and mice (and other critters) that come off ships? That's always been a well-known vector of infection, going back to the Black Death and beyond.
I agree with this, the last time we had a plague over a third of the population died. Would not want to see that repeat, like, ever (we can argue that the plague was probably carried here by humans rather than rats but it did arrive via a ship). All ships go through rigorous quarantine and are most likely checked a few times on the way to Iceland but it pays to be careful.
The sea creatures Pessi mentioned might also be a hassle, especially seals because they like to occasionally wander on dry land. Maybe there could be work at making sure all the small islands around and near Reykjavík definitely are grossling-free?
A tardy response, but this is a great suggestion! Thank you! I'm still in the progress of fleshing out her backstory, and I'm sure to take this into consideration.

I've been perusing this thread, and saw a lot of you drawing each other's characters, some of whom are determined to draw all of them! I wanted to jump the bandwagon too, but I realized quite quickly that I don't really have the energy to draw that many characters, and it would be really unfair of me to pick favorites.
So, I decided that art trades– a drawing of your character in exchange for a drawing of mine– would be a good solution to this. Is anyone interested?

I've only done small headshots for the characters I did back then, but if you draw my oc in your awesome style I will most definitely put a tad more effort in a drawing of yours (i love ur design and i love falconry so I really really wanna draw u anyway)
i'm still gonna draw everyone else at some point too.... i'm just. a bit swamped with not being at home and having a lot of stuff going on hahahaha

(drawing is hard.)
Name........................ Voitto Seppanen (there should be umlauts in there. But my keyboard is not cooperating)
Age............................22
Nationality................ Finnish
Area of birth............. Kajaani
Gender......................Male
Immunity................... Yes
Profession................Mage, blacksmith, engineer, scholar
Languages (in order of proficiency)................ Finnish, Danish, Icelandic
Voitto began having dreams young. Very young. Him and his sister, in fact, had to be handled by the local temple's priest as it was judged that they had to be initiated to the ways of the spirits simply to keep them safe. Simple techniques were taught to them around the age of 8. By the age of 10, they could already do some spells. By 12 they were brought into the forest and taught the Paths and the Names. At 16, they joined the military as proper mages. Attached with a standard military unit, Voitto engaged in regular military campaigns for 3 years. He took a medical leave after receiving a rather grievious wound while engaging a giant with his unit. The wound healed up just fine, but the fight had a negative effect on his psyche and he found himself unable to continue fighting. During his leave he return to Kajaani and, like his father before him (that is, until he got himself a farm) he enrolled in the blacksmith apprenticeship at the Old Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, hoping to become a vital asset and be spared re-enrollement. He was eventually considered fit for service once more, but this time he enrolled as an army mechanic, based in Keuruu. Not particularly inclined for physical labour, he tried to obtain a government job through his mother, a skald in the justice department. This didn't pan out and instead he applied for a position as a naval engineer with the joint Finn-Danish Baltic Fleet and he found himself relocated to Ronne. The navy was not terribly active during his stay, so he found himself hanging out in the cafes (well if you could call what they served coffee) of Ronne with other Finnish ex-pats and learned the language of the place by getting himself a rather well learned old gentleman to tutor him. It is his through this man that he became acquainted with a considerable amount of lore and information – kept mostly in private libraries and collections, and therefore outside of government and religious regulation. He became particularly interested in biology and psychology and its intersection with his own knowledge of the spirits.
His particular angle, as a trained mage, was not very welcome among the Danish circle of intellectuals he frequented. Whenever he mentioned spirits or magic they would roll their eyes, exchanged glances and lecture him on the lack of proof and the impossibility of such a phenomena – though he was welcomed to try and show them, even if such a performance was to be seen as a mere spiritualist seance. Frustrated by their lack of faith (though to him this was not a matter of faith, but rather a matter of fact) in the old gods and spirits, he decided to apply for leave and to go study in Iceland – and hopefully get some support to begin research in Meta-Biology. He knew the Icelanders were pumping considerable amounts of money into trying to find a cure and increasing the immunity of humanity, and so he hoped he would receive a more favourable ear. Once in Reykjavik, he found little support for his ideas. There was, it turned out, a rather considerable distance between the mages of the Academy and the knowledge he had received during his training. The mages he met were not open at all to his ideas – and he eventually fell under suspicion for having consulted old world documents. Insularity and suspicion for outside ways and people prevailed. Frustrated, he left Reykjavik for Ronne once more, this time hoping to go to Sweden. The Swedes may be godless heathens, but at least, he heard, they were pragmatical godless heathens and perhaps they would see the usefulness of his ideas. Or at least, maybe give him some money. He was unable to gain passage to Sweden, ultimately, as he was recalled to Finland for the winter campaign. This was to be a major operation and he was re-enrolled as a mage – they would need all the firepower they could get as they planned to tackle a considerable amount of territory and hoping to recapture an old hydroelectric plant. This is year 90. Somewhere, out there, a bunch of losers just got funding to go treasure hunt in the Silent World. Meanwhile, Voitto is scribbling notes and thoughts as the Finns begin to muster. There is no set cannon of mage teaching in Finland, which makes it hard to generalize about his own observation and a lot of mages are taciturn and reluctant to discuss what they consider to be sacred knowledge. He begins to record his own experiences with magic and the spirit realm, but encountered considerable difficulties right off the bat. Frustrated by the growing amounts of hurdles, he put on hold his research and sent his notes to Kajaani from Keuruu as his unit sets out toward Eastern Finland.

Curry, I hardly need to say that those are some wonderful sketches, but I'll say it anyway "What wonderful sketches you've drawn!". I wish I could drawn hair half as well as you, you just seem to understand how it works and it looks so natural!
As for art trades I would be more than up for this! I'm drawing something at the moment, but aren't too fussed about the SSSSonas involved trading because I really just did it for fun ^_^ (This picture may take a while to emerge because I'm kinda phenomenally slow at drawing, same thing goes for art trades as it usually takes AGES for me to get anything finished :-\ )

THIS WAS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN, so if anyone else wants an Actual Effort Drawing of your self inserts instead of a wonky inky headshot,, I'm definitely open for more art trades!! and if you're not a drawing type of person I guess there are other ways to bribe me?? i can also do it in other styles if you want to!!
I'd really love to draw every single one of you like this, but it keeps getting less and less realistic of me to think I can do that out of nowhere, ahah ha............ i'm still gonna make more headshots in the Far Future though

The only thing is the picture is a bit blurry up top and, being extremely bad with cursives, I can't really decipher parts of your handwriting.
Well, l rarely answer to comments (broken english, you know) but I'm really happy when someone complimented my arts ;_;oh, but I have nothing but the highest praise for your art and style and your English is just fine.
So, I decided that art trades– a drawing of your character in exchange for a drawing of mine– would be a good solution to this. Is anyone interested?I'll see what I can do, though it must necessarily be highly underwhelming compared to your very professional style.

Gwenno: it has taken years of constantly drawing hair. Like, 5 years. No exaggerations there actually?? Wow I have been drawing for a while what is this
Daaang, this is so good! You have such an amazing style, it's so personal and expressive~HMM let's see what I can do as far as translations! (so sorry for crap picture my scanner hates both my computer and me, getting delight in not working)
The only thing is the picture is a bit blurry up top and, being extremely bad with cursives, I can't really decipher parts of your handwriting.
to the left of your face it says "I like your hair + your chin" (useful curry commentary) and to the right of your face, you are saying "I'll gladly demonstrate my weapon's effectiveness on anybody who questions it". Hopefully that clears that up! If anybody else needs a translation (what is my handwriting even) I will gladly give one, unless even I can't tell what is happening ehe

I did a super quick drawing of what my magesona looks like without hir cape. it's probably not less confusing than before, sorry.

- hir outfit is a mix of the icelandic mage outfit from the infopage on mages, and my own viking market outfits.
- i didn't put a lot of effort into the brooche detail, buuuuuuut here's an actual photo of brooches (http://41.media.tumblr.com/5bc8b1ffffab2ed83e1913ff82b61966/tumblr_mosbr57G291r6soqlo1_1280.jpg) I own
- i also added some hairstyle drawings, because my hairstyle is like. let it grow until I can't handle it anymore and cut it short - repeat cycle. so there is no 'canon hairlength' except for never longer than shoulder length, and always fringe.
SO YEAH that is me, good night

okay so I should PROBABLY talk to people before actually doing art trades
but I did a little-more-effort draw of Almond-Goddess' falconer OC!!

sorry for the weird pose idk where that came from hahahaaha
THIS WAS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN, so if anyone else wants an Actual Effort Drawing of your self inserts instead of a wonky inky headshot,, I'm definitely open for more art trades!! and if you're not a drawing type of person I guess there are other ways to bribe me?? i can also do it in other styles if you want to!!
I'd really love to draw every single one of you like this, but it keeps getting less and less realistic of me to think I can do that out of nowhere, ahah ha............ i'm still gonna make more headshots in the Far Future though
AHHH Haiz this is beautiful and it really captures her character!! Thank you so much for drawing this! <3
Post by: Almond-Goddess on April 07, 2015, 01:33:08 AM
Wow, I was REALLY BEHIND in drawing you people. I expected to have to do like, 4, but hot dang there were 10 new OCs :0
(http://i.imgur.com/Usd0DTE.jpg)
Your names are next to your heads! OCs featured are Fimbulvarg to now.
Sunflower, I redrew you because I got your first drawing kind of inaccurate and also really small :3
EEee, I almost missed my character at the bottom! She looks remarkably like me, which is a good thing because her facial structure is heavily referenced from mine. :D

Also, thank you to everyone who complimented the headshots! You guys are really fun to draw and also really nice for a bit of diversity practice (AquaAquarion, part of the reason why I'm going to keep up with all the self-inserts is exactly that :p don't want everyone to become a Minna-style face, no matter how pretty that might be!)
Post by: Fimbulvarg on April 07, 2015, 04:45:49 PM
I've been perusing this thread, and saw a lot of you drawing each other's characters, some of whom are determined to draw all of them! I wanted to jump the bandwagon too, but I realized quite quickly that I don't really have the energy to draw that many characters, and it would be really unfair of me to pick favorites.
So, I decided that art trades– a drawing of your character in exchange for a drawing of mine– would be a good solution to this. Is anyone interested?
Deed eet. Or tried to anyways. Whatever it is layman-artists do. I forgot that your falcon was peregrine black and not merlin brown.

Thanks a lot! Thing is I spend incredibly little time on art. Like, I've hardly produced anything these last few years. But since a certain person (*glares at Haiz*) told me photoshop was now freeware I just had to get back into it (I say that but this thing was actually drawn in Krita, which I just got my hands on as well).
That hair is like chaos and order locked in an eternal battle for domination of your scalp!

Haiz, that's actually really helpful and ... I need to go redraw your hair now, because you have no bangs.

I seem to be responsible for a lot of things actually?
- this thread/trend (partly responsible at least)
- people drawing emil with a ninetales
- EL DORADO EDITS and that animation oh goshhhh
- blanket party drawings
- more widespread reaction image usage (i've seen people use the "my poor neglected responsibilities" edit in the comments and it makes me Very Proud)
well look at me being a positive influence on this fandom

Fimbulvarg, this is beautiful! I saw this on my mobile and liked it so much that I had to duck away into the break room to comment on it. And really, thank you for drawing this! It brightened up my otherwise typical work day. (:
I think I referenced a peregrine for the falcon, though I'd have to check my reference images back at home to be sure.
I'll PM you when I get home about my part of the trade.

On the topic of art trades, I'll be working on Curry, Noodly Appendage, and Fimbulvarg's next, though not in any particular order. But that being said, please PM me first to make sure that I'm also open to do art trade. This is a precautionary measure to avoid the awkward situation where someone does their part of the art trade, but I'm too busy to get to mine.

Here are some sketches of Karri. Body posture is challenging, so I had to reference most of these, but I hope I'll be able to make one that is less sketchy.

On the topic of art trades, I'll be working on Curry, Noodly Appendage, and Fimbulvarg's next, though not in any particular order. But that being said, please PM me first to make sure that I'm also open to do art trade. This is a precautionary measure to avoid the awkward situation where someone does their part of the art trade, but I'm too busy to get to mine.I have to agree with this policy I think ... Wait, whoops~
That being said I might have to approach people for art trades after doing my part because I like working slowly and incrementally.
(http://i.imgur.com/oGrN2db.jpg)Awesomeee!
And the sketches are amazing in their own right, I wish I had something like that but unfortunately I didn't make any.

I see you're having more luck with the hair than I am :P
Is that... are you looking up pictures of Enfield SMLEs for gun reference?
Edit: wait what do you mean alt for framtung!?!?

EDIT: Googles Krag-Jørgensen 1898. Will try to make it recognizable :D
Iii googled bayonet? But maybe I should google Enfield SMLEs instead?
And I loved your weapon and the concept of mounting knives and axes in innovative ways, but I thought IRL this bayonet/halberd maybe would make someone tip over? Since it's on the tip? Notice the question mark after alt for framtung :P I think I'm going with that version anyway, since it looks nice ;) (Too much garlic? Nonono there's no such thing)

These look great!! And I totally agree, posture is... interesting. I try and use references a lot but then it looks even wonkier than before so I just end up using myself (which is why ALL the hands i draw have short fingers and big palms. allllll of them)

A rifle is a rifle (Lalli's rifle looks highly generic). The SMLE is just very recognisable to me because I've seen it a lot in the flesh before.

Actually, I've already started drawing your insert. I just haven't told you because, like I said, I work over a long time frame (and I have poor, neglected responsibilites) :P.

I haven't been able to come on the forum much over the last couple of days due to study needs, but you have all been really busy! I wish I could comment on each picture individually, but it would take quite a while.
Of course, when I say "study" I really mean "procrastinate 90% of the time while mourning my poor neglected responsibilities", so I also spent quite a bit of time sketching some other people's OCs...

Okay. So. Haiz. I combined your oc with the picture you posted very early in the thread of you and your cape blowing in the wind. Hence why you have a cape now. Also you end up looking a tad boyish - but no matter what I did, I couldn't make it look more like your face. The more details I added the greater the distortion. Sorry. D:
(http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss44/VafhudrGrimm/Curry20oc20001_zpsudtkzkby.jpg)
Curry. I have decked you out in what I presume is cleanser ware. Tired and dirty after a hard day of burninating the unclean.
Mask and goggles because a full face gas mask would make it hard to convey that is in fact your character in the picture. Your hair game is too strong for my skill level, so I kind of butchered it.
Oliga. Yours is a work in progress. It turns out I can't draw cats for shit. They all come out looking like Mikkel. I have now a whole page of disturbingly human looking cats. I am calling it quit for tonight. I want to draw an norwegian forest cat and the fur around the face make it look like Mikkel's sideburn.

this is so great!!! I love the epic pose!! and the cape (wait, early in the thread? ......oh. we have 30 pages now.)!! and don't worry about how boyish i may or may not look, my goal in this life is to cause confusion about my gender so that's perfect actually.
I feel like this is a lot to get from just drawing a very quick draw of your OC's face........ I should maybe do some full-body sketches of you guys who put effort into drawing me..........

Usually I try to let my pictures tell their own story, but in this case there's a lot that isn't very clear, and there are a few things which I wasted to clarify or explain, so yeah, below is the inmyheadthings put into text….
The troll hunters are all together because they're on their way to Sweden to help out with the cleansers on a 'vacation trip', which explains why despite being from different settlements they're working together.
Sigrid Marie didn't have any weapons in her picture, so I wasn't too sure how she'd end up fighting (being the cutest viking warrior ever may put the trolls off guard, but nobody has ever died of cute…..), so I decided she had no weapons because she NEEDED no weapons and was just that badass and awesome! I also decided she joined the team to keep Gudrun company, because I've a vague memory of both of them deciding their SSSSonas would be friends ^_^ I hope all that stuff's okay with you….
Ruth (Gudrun) is leader of the team, and stops everyone from being stupid and getting killed. The vacation trip may not be Iceland, but at least it's a chance to get somewhere else, and who knows, she may make some contacts on the trip who can help out…. Also, how obvious is it that i know nothing about guns? I've not really been able to internet much recently so I wasn't able to look up reference pics as I'd like and I've a feeling that gun enthusiasts on the forum will notice this point right away so I'd just go and state that here first!
Fimbulvarg - when I started out the picture you were supposed to be using the rifle-axe to do some troll bashing, but I just couldn't make the picture work, and decided to add an extra use for the woollen sash instead (you're right, that's a very handy thing to have around!). Maybe I'll manage it someday :) Wasn't sure what to do with eyes since they were closed in the reference pic, but if you'd rather be a Mikkel with eyes closed almost always I can change that before inking and colouring :P
Oh, and I'm just bashing trolls, not much else to be said there really

Here's my take on Karri. I don't know what happened to the warrior pose, your face turned out a bit wonky, so I made this instead! (And yesIhaveanewtoy, I got sick of drawing with the mouse so now I have a tablet. Look what you made me dooo!)

I didn't have a chance to say this during the weekday, but these sketches look great! There's just something about traditionally drawn things that is appealing. Freddie, you've caught my character's grin spot on, and Kauniita, I'm really amazed that you sketched not one but three things for me! :D

Wow, the thread has grew so fast these past days! It was a bit hectic at the end of the work week, but tonight I was able to do some quick gesture studies – aesthetics which are inspired by Minna's info pages – for my next three art trades for Curry, Noodly Appendages, and Fimbulvarg. I'm thinking of polishing these up with this particular style (http://almond-goddess.tumblr.com/post/111544602271/braidy-and-cat-by-almond-goddess).

Uh so I don't usually post unfinished art, but you guys have been posting so many amazing things recently, and I've posted nothing so I felt bad and decided to at least contribute SOMETHING! Anyway this is the troll hunters/troll punchers/viking warriors group.

I'm also somewhat tight with my schedule, so although I'm definitely interested I'm afraid I'm a bit useless with art trades... but my troll has been drawn a few times and I want to at least return the favour! Starting with the two mages Haiz and DancingRanger, admittedly because I wanted to paint two mages cooperating instead of just working alone. Drawing even a single stave can take a while and what if there's no time and you really just need to blast something to smithereens immediately?
(http://i.imgur.com/HiBAavq.png)
Haiz drawing a stave against darkness* with sunlight, DancingRanger creating a Veldismagn stave which increases luck and power and traditionally has to be made with the user's own blood. I'm figuring it will increase Haiz's stave effect about hundredfold. I'm not sure why the magepile... possibly they're both too short to suitably reach that one spot of sunlight available, or maybe they just specialized in different kinds of staves, who knows. Also Haiz wasn't supposed to end up looking so worried but I guess it's ok, after all if the attack stave fails in any way whatever happens will be massively powered up by the Veldismagn. :P
(Failing to create a stave correctly doesn't always mean that it simply won't work, most likely it will work but in a very unplanned, possibly disastrous way. At least that's how it goes in sagas.)
*This is actually based on another real stave that's supposed to work against "fear of darkness" but used here to simply gain some solar effect on whatever's coming at them. Read that as "mages exploding things".

Oh thank you! Art trades is such an awesome concept, and makes it easier for me to stick with actual effort projects instead of just abandoning them. And EEEE I went around with a big grin after you drew me so I'm up for more art trades, if anyone's interested!
This thread just fills up with awesomeness all the time. Please accept my pathetic blanket praise everyone!

I didn't have a chance to say this during the weekday, but these sketches look great! There's just something about traditionally drawn things that is appealing. Freddie, you've caught my character's grin spot on, and Kauniita, I'm really amazed that you sketched not one but three things for me! :D
That's great! Interesting expressions, and the falcon is very lifelike.Thank you both! And yes, 'interesting' is definitely one way to describe those expressions... ;)

This thread just fills up with awesomeness all the time. Please accept my pathetic blanket praise everyone!
I'm also somewhat tight with my schedule, so although I'm definitely interested I'm afraid I'm a bit useless with art trades... but my troll has been drawn a few times and I want to at least return the favour! Starting with the two mages Haiz and DancingRanger, admittedly because I wanted to paint two mages cooperating instead of just working alone. Drawing even a single stave can take a while and what if there's no time and you really just need to blast something to smithereens immediately?
(http://i.imgur.com/HiBAavq.png)
Haiz drawing a stave against darkness* with sunlight, DancingRanger creating a Veldismagn stave which increases luck and power and traditionally has to be made with the user's own blood. I'm figuring it will increase Haiz's stave effect about hundredfold. I'm not sure why the magepile... possibly they're both too short to suitably reach that one spot of sunlight available, or maybe they just specialized in different kinds of staves, who knows. Also Haiz wasn't supposed to end up looking so worried but I guess it's ok, after all if the attack stave fails in any way whatever happens will be massively powered up by the Veldismagn. :P
(Failing to create a stave correctly doesn't always mean that it simply won't work, most likely it will work but in a very unplanned, possibly disastrous way. At least that's how it goes in sagas.)
*This is actually based on another real stave that's supposed to work against "fear of darkness" but used here to simply gain some solar effect on whatever's coming at them. Read that as "mages exploding things".
Eeeeeeee! This is so beautiful. . .It's a pleasant surprise on a bad day. Thanks. And I'll probability be drawing your troll-sona again soon.
Edit- in RL I don't have blonde hair. But I kinda wish I did have that pretty ashen colored hair though.

Same happens with Finns. I had platinum blonde hair as a kid and blue eyes to match but when I got older my mum's genes kicked in and now I have brown hair and green eyes instead. However, sometimes I also wonder if the stereotype of blonde Nordics isn't a little bit affected by what's perceived as blonde in different countries: what Finns would already call "dirt-road brown" still counted as blonde in the UK, and hair dye kits always make me wonder just how dark will your hair have to be before it would be labeled as non-blonde on those. Icelanders seem to think similarly and count only the lightest hair colour possible as blonde, f.ex. ash blonde is already out of the blonde category.

While I have seen changing hair colour in my family, I was not aware that eye colour could change. D:

It can change with age, most typically with people who start with blue eyes. Usually your eyes change colour either within the first three years of your life or at puberty, although at puberty it's more common that the colour you already have just gets darker. Blue eyes changing colour doesn't happen to the majority of blue-eyed people of course, but it's not entirely uncommon either. :)
Mine started changing at the same time with my hair getting darker though, I'd say between ages 10 and 13. My little brother's hair turned darker much earlier than mine but I think his eyes changed colour around the same age as mine.

Sigrid Marie didn't have any weapons in her picture, so I wasn't too sure how she'd end up fighting (being the cutest viking warrior ever may put the trolls off guard, but nobody has ever died of cute…..), so I decided she had no weapons because she NEEDED no weapons and was just that badass and awesome! I also decided she joined the team to keep Gudrun company, because I've a vague memory of both of them deciding their SSSSonas would be friends ^_^ I hope all that stuff's okay with you….
YES. Yes all that stuff is very much okay with me.
I am actually going to have a weapon, I'm just scared of drawing a gun because I don't know anything about guns and I'm pretty sure I'll mess it up <_<

One suggestion: Do consider resizing your images down a bit so readers with small screens (like me) don't have to scroll. I resized your first image to "width=600". I think anything up to about 750-800 pixels should work. The first post in this thread contains a good tutorial on resizing.
Good luck, and keep up the good work!

Yes, fellow cartographer high-five! (And heh, I'm so very far from Nordic also. I was too lazy to come up with an "actual" name, though...)
I also just realized that book-binder is probably a very, very valid profession. Oh well. Skalds who work with paper probably need to know how do some archival work, anyway.

It probably is. And I was considering Skald, but wanted something not represented by our canon crew.
Post by: Curry on April 12, 2015, 10:01:42 PM
I also drew up a bit more of a backstory for Karri (me SSSSona). Sorry for long post, I can't wait for spoiler codes :I
As a child, Karri used to have varied and vividly terrible dreams. They would repeat themselves over and over, and they were perpetually tired and afraid of sleeping. Their parents took this as a sign of magical prowess and hastily sent them to Iceland for training, proud that they had a Mage in the family and also completely unable to deal with Karri's developing neuroses. They passed it off as "Mage behavior", and considering they were both peasants (from a once-rich bloodline, very proud of the fact) and inexperienced with the military, they had no idea of what to expect with magic. So, Karri left their parents, grandparents, and little brother for a gigantic new country at the age of 10. Once they got to Iceland, they got a normal education as well as the beginnings of a Mage education. They quickly found that the dreams were stopping and they had little talent, if any, with magic. School became tedious and their grades started to fall below acceptable levels and after seeing their older cousins return from the military on break back in her home country, Norway, Karri decided that they would join the ranks of the cleansers, due to their love of one thing and one thing only in school: chemistry. Having moved around a lot, they generally know how to make friends, but their innate quirkiness, slightly off sense of humor, and sometimes-abrasive bravado can also rub people the wrong way rather easily. They use their rudimentary chemical knowledge to make eyeliner and more intense explosives because they're trash. Their sticky fingers come from their upbringing in a peasant household where NOTHING was thrown away due to the high costs of getting new items. Therefore, they're handy with a sewing needle, and they can make whatever the military gives them work without complaint. They also have no taste for fancy foods and are perfectly happy with a potato and some butter, thank you very much. (however, if they somehow found a way to get their hands on some curry, no doubt they'd love it :p )
Personality-wise they tend to go with their gut instinct and focus either on the vague, general feeling of things or random minutiae (no in between). There's no real way to get a proper description from them. They are somewhat insecure at heart but they cover it up (pretty successfully, I might add) with bluster and exuberance and they often forget their insecurities herself (fake it till you make it) but overdo it to the point where they don't know how to handle other emotions like sadness or depression or anxiety, internalizing it all. They swing between irritation and enthusiasm most of the time and can be incredibly absent-minded (this shows through in their navigational skills. do not, I repeat, DO NOT let Karri navigate you anywhere or you will end up lost in the wilderness and eaten by trolls). Also has a habit of getting stuck on certain phrases (you could call them "catchphrases" I guess) and repeating them after like every sentence. They're also impulsive and will make poor financial decisions if put under pressure (example: spent half of their life savings on a really swanky pair of glasses. only regrets it a little bit.)
Also really loves cats. Too cute, too adorable, fluffy and aloof and absolutely perfect
Sized it down a touch for a slightly smaller wall of text 8) maybe I should add "doesn't know how to shut up" in my character description

(http://i.imgur.com/H3pYafI.png)Welcome! Gosh everyone is turning out so cute and pretty!! :D I like how you made it look canon with the layout!
Alrighty, I got a few things to post before turning in for the night! Firstly, Curry, here's my half of the trade! I was inspired by some watercolor artists I followed on Tumblr, and tried to experiment with a new coloring style... which ended up looking like my typical coloring style with a watercolor paper texture overlaid on top of it, hahaI really like how the you did the colors! :)

I love the coloring so much (even if it does look similar to your normal style, it's stunning!) and I look so cute oh man I don't have enough words to describe how magnificent this is? What a gorgeous picture omg

Curry: yooooooooo that backstory(yes obviously, let's do this. they probably lost touch after curry went to set things on fire [how good is post apocalyptic communication for civilians anyway) and then coincidentally being on the same team was like. the best surprise ever? yes obviously makes sense)
(I'm totally gonna pretend u befriended my mage the short time you were at my academy)
Seeing all these SSSS-sonas, I want to make one now. But there are so many things I'm not sure of, starting with where my character would be from since I'm in the US irl. But....Ooh, you should make one! I'm also American but I took some Creative License and made myself a Norwegian cleanser because FLAMES and NOT EMIL
All these cute characters! They all look really well-thought out.
I started doing thank-you-sketches for those who drew my ssssona! For Haiz and Curry:Ahh these are so pretty! I look so cute and your style is so lovely and clean :0 You got my SSSSona's crazy hair on point!

Also, as a kind of important note, I am going to continue doing headshots of everyone's OCs, but don't feel like you have to reciprocate or anything!! I don't want to make anybody feel like they have to do something they don't want to do and honestly I really enjoy drawing you guys because you are all adorable and really fun to draw. However if you *do* want to do an art trade, I can and would love to do more than just a quick shoulders-up doodle (see almond-goddess' art trade with me for about how much effort/detail I can put in) and just message me because I have a surprising amount of time on my hands • w •

(darn right it does)i assume they move around a LOT in very uninhabited places without easy ways to communicate?? BUT since karri is literate letters are an option!! even if they're like, very small vocabulary, 'i blew up 3 more buildings today. got a cool thing that reminded me of you!! i don't know what it is here's a drawing' *rest of page is filled up by detailed sketch of yoyo*

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-eK02k_ivEG8/VSwLwmucdYI/AAAAAAAAAL0/tcaehjVxHsw/w785-h589-no/Marja.jpg)
Name: Marja Korhonen
Nationality: finn
Age:20
Immunity: no
Her family comes from the Russian part of Karelia. They have preserved the traditions of the historic homeland; Marja likes to use Russian when she doesn't want to be understood by other people.
Marja is the fourth child in her family and she is much younger than her brother and sisters. While older children have inherited the character of their mother, calm and reasonable, Marja is the very image of her father, hyperactive and far from reality.
In addition, she is known for her clumsiness and an amazing ability to use every opportunity to get into trouble. With these personality traits it was difficult to find a job.
As a result, Marja has chosen not a very respectable occupation. She is a courier and she likes it. A lot of people to chat, a lot of free time to think about everything and no need to sit still all day .
And if someone from time to time gets a package that looks like a piece of garbage - don't worry, there are worse things in the world.
Anyway, she is not so hopeless. Marja even has formulated several clever ideas. Like "To fall from the pier in the middle of November - it's funny and good for your health", "a bicycle without a wheel - it's still a bicycle" and "you never know, what a cat can do if it gets really angry."

Sara Hållander (maybe a bit younger). And what's in her hands? The "Recovered Hearts" scenario, that's what! And... a parrot-head umbrella? I think I've seen something similar... Somewhere. Well, okay.

Wow, everyone makes me look so much cuter (and younger and slimmer) than I really am. :D Thanks for the beautiful picture, mad robin!
(In real life, (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=223.msg19064#msg19064) I'm considerably more Tuuri-esque -- larger in both the bustline and hips/thighs. But you gave me realistic-shaped feet for once, not Minna's tiny little doll feet -- which I appreciate!)
I adore your character. Marja looks like she'd be *so much* fun to get a package from! The drawings are pretty as well as great character exposition. In the lower left, is she holding that steaming mug with prehensile feet? ;) I also like how she overturns the cliche TVTropes calls "No Bikes in the Apocalypse." (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoBikesInTheApocalypse) In the winter, does she use a kicksled or one of those other cool ice-scooter things?
Since her family has hung onto their Russian/Karelian heritage, does she have a Russian-style patronymic? E.g. Marja Petrovna Korhonen? (I'm sure I'm misremembering how to form a patronym from the Russian version of "Peter.")
Keep up the good work -- we love your visual storytelling!
Yours with gratitude,
Sunflower
P.S. I can't draw in reply, but I can... uh... write you a runo for speedy delivery, to protect your bike's tires, or heal a scraped knee or something?

Post by: mad robin on April 13, 2015, 05:54:54 PM
Honestly, holding mugs with feet it's not a good idea. I learned this from my personal experience. Marja will learn this soon.
A kicksled is the best thing in the whole world. Especially for such neat and responsible girls like Marja. So many options to kill yourself.
I'll let her live without her patronym. Because in real life, when my mother calls me Maria Alexandrovna instead of regular Masha or Marja it means "You did something really terrible, young lady, and now run, run as fast as you can!" Bad associations you know :D

Hello, friends and citizens! I am here to share with you the Great News that our New and Updated SSSSona Infodump is completely up-to-date, with features like EVERYBODY WHO HAS POSTED AN SSSSONA HERE sorted by not only name, like most other organization services provide, but also by nationality and profession! What an amazing product, right? Well, that's not all! There's also a Handy Language Chart with EVERYBODY EVER and the connections between people who can understand and communicate with each other! This AMAZING resource, headed by the intrepid Curry and KauniitaUnia, is available at any time at this link right here!

Holy Frijoles, Curry, this is incredible!
I will have to flesh out my persona a wee bit more somewhere other than inside my head. Would I post that here ? I admit I don't know how to operate Google docs or Google drive.
My persona drawing actually has a punchline - she is stuck carving stamps as part of her living, but she has made a big and fairly ornate one for the word "Ei" which means "NO."

I will! All information/pictures by the OC's creator are automatically added, with extra pictures and extremely long blocks of text as links to this forum, so definitely here where everybody can access it.

Thank you both for the encouragement. I'll probably write something up soon, I can't guarantee any art since I'm more comfortable with writing. I'm kinda debating between putting my SSSSona in the situation that seems to fit the closest to how I grew up (which would probably put me in one of the smaller villages in one of the more technological countries), or what seems to fit my personality now and/or what I'd like the most (Finland, apparently).

Has hinted at before, here's my take on your OC. I didn't go for your dream dress, opting instead for the generic Finnish night scout attire and your mosin-nagant.

I was wondering what the crew's reaction would be to learning that my 'Sona knits/crochets/etc especially since he's well male and such. (Kinda a 'so that's what he does in his spare time' thing. With surprise gifts, cause who doesn't need a super warm scarf?)

My guess would be very little reaction, given that
1) the Known World seems to be very gender-egalitarian [regardless of all the fan speculation of how gender roles would play out in case of an *actual* apocalypse] and
2) in a world where manufacturing is much more difficult and expensive, any kind of handicraft/hobby that produces useful things would probably be respected. The crew would probably be lining up, begging you to knit them warm scarves and hats!
This is somewhat different from IRL America, where there's still (regrettably) a certain amount of stereotyping about knitting and crocheting. The hipster knitting revival of the last 20 years at least went some ways towards removing the "little old lady" stigma. And the younger generation seems to be at least a bit less judgmental about "boy things" and "girl things" than when I was your age... which is a relief.
That answer your question? :)

My guess would be very little reaction, given thatYeah. My mind keeps thinking how would people here react, and forgetting that in a post apocalyptic society useful skills are useful, no matter what. I think the shocker might be the motifs he'd use, making the patterns for wampum belts (traditionally made with beads) into his knitting and such.

The hipster knitting revival of the last 20 years at least went some ways towards removing the "little old lady" stigma. And the younger generation seems to be at least a bit less judgmental about "boy things" and "girl things" than when I was your age... which is a relief.
That answer your question? :)

So I sketched some people. Mostly some people I've talked to the most. Mostly. :DThanks so much, tabeabd! Once again you make me look way cuter than I deserve. (I have a round little apple-face -- and my cheeks are even more apple-y when I'm smiling... or trying hard *not* to smile.) The hair is faaabulous. I can see I'll have a lot of work to do to look this good in person, if and when we hold the first-ever Minnions Meet-Up!
The other drawings look great too. All those bright-eyed, alert expressions! I particularly like how Laufey's troll is neatly clad in coat and tie... ;)

And the younger generation seems to be at least a bit less judgmental about "boy things" and "girl things" than when I was your age... which is a relief.
Attitudes toward knitting etc. change quickly and depending on what skills are needed, so I would also wager knitting would be seen as a highly useful skill. My dad's generation of boys was still taught how to knit, how to darn clothes and sew buttons, and it wasn't thought of as anything specifically feminine. Likewise I was taught to handle a carving knife (the puukko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko) of course) at very young age because among the skills seen as necessary were cleaning mushrooms, fish etc. It had less to do with gender and a lot more to do with your family teaching you what you need to know in life in general.
Up until very recently knitting had fallen out of favour though, but when it was seen as uncool it was seen thus by both genders and possibly powered up by their parents' opinions, because everyone has to learn to knit at school and most people have horror stories of how their teachers treated them if they didn't get the hang of it fast enough. My friend's mother knitted too tightly so her teacher took scissors to her halfway done work and cut it off the needles... she never knitted again after ground school.
Nowadays knitting is back in fashion as both a skill and clothing, and it makes me really happy to see all the modern variations of f.ex. the traditional Icelandic round collar sweater. Besides it's a really useful garment for the weather here! :D So TL;DR the crew would probably love anyone with the skill and interest in knitting and unusual patterns would simply be seen as a positive thing, something you don't see every day.
Post by: Mélusine on April 14, 2015, 04:57:08 AM
I was wondering what the crew's reaction would be to learning that my 'Sona knits/crochets/etc especially since he's well male and such. (Kinda a 'so that's what he does in his spare time' thing. With surprise gifts, cause who doesn't need a super warm scarf?)Knitting had been a male occupation by the past, my teacher was spoking about the sailors an fishermen since the Vikings. So I answer later but I really think all will be alright and, as some others had answer, a very useful skill.

I'm thinking of writing a little blurp with some of the Sonas if you're interested in seeing yours in it either PM me, or post here. I'll have it done in a few days.Ah yes I am definitely interested!!
Also, I'm thinking about maybe doing a couple of character-interaction comics (short things, maybe not even really 'comics' per se) and same to the PM me or post it here thing? I'd love to try and get a feel for the group dynamic
Edit: Tabea and Vafhudr, those are both really pretty! Tabea I love your thin lines so much. You have such a wonderful style!
There are so many of you guys on here with lovely, clean styles and then I'm over here like. hMM I AM PRETTY SURE THERE COULD BE 14 MORE LINES HERE. WHY HAVE ONE LINE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE 400 *brandishes pencil wildly*

I did the thing!
(http://i.imgur.com/H3pYafI.png)
Too lazy to write any bio atm. And wow, it's been so long since I've drawn in PS, I nearly forgot what I was doing.
Not real name because Tabitha [REDACTED] is far from Nordic. Granted, Tabea isn't either, but it's still more European. "Söder" because my actual heritage is all south of Sweden haha.
Wow, wonderful! For name... Well the first thing that comes to mind is Beate or Beata. I had to google the latter and I think it's primarily a Lithuanian version of Beate, but maybe that is a good thing. Bea and Thea are also common Nordic female names.
Alrighty, I got a few things to post before turning in for the night! Firstly, Curry, here's my half of the trade! I was inspired by some watercolor artists I followed on Tumblr, and tried to experiment with a new coloring style... which ended up looking like my typical coloring style with a watercolor paper texture overlaid on top of it, haha

(There will be others, later) it's based off a Native American legend about how Raven stole fire, and was singed black because of it. It came to me last night when I was thinking of what designs fit each 'sona.

Knitting had been a male occupation by the past, my teacher was spoking about the sailors an fishermen since the Vikings.I'm not sure how pervasive knitting was among sailors, but back in the age of sailships, they had tons of experience tying knots, tons of ship's rope that had to be replaced due to the wear and tear to work with, plenty of time to go creative with both, and a distinct lack of opportunities to go shopping for something else to bring back home as a gift to wife and kids. Yarncrafts and carvings were thus pretty much guaranteed to happen.

@ Almond-goddess
A question for you - do you work with digital tools or is this actual paint on paper?
If you're referring to my art trade with Curry, the drawing is drawn entirely digitally, though I overlaid a watercolor and Bristol paper texture over it. For other works, I sometimes do studies and rough sketches traditionally, but I almost always finish my work digitally.
So I sketched some people. Mostly some people I've talked to the most. Mostly. :D
Sorry the photo quality is so terrible ack.

The eyes look just fine to me! (...says the person who draws everyone with huge round eyes) But I mean, also aren't eyes supposed to look bigger behind glasses anyway? They always do in cartoons, so it doesn't look odd to me, just stylized.
Post by: Noodles on April 15, 2015, 09:38:43 AM
But I mean, also aren't eyes supposed to look bigger behind glasses anyway?It depends on what kind of glasses you have. Glasses for far-sighted people do make things bigger, but near-sighted-glasses shrink them, oddly enough. It has to do with the one being convex (like a magnifying glass) and the other being concave.
But like you said, it's a style thing and most people draw eyes large anyway. And the picture is really pretty the way it is.

So an updated version with tweaked profile.
Anyway what I'm thinking for anyone that wants in what I eventually do is a large spread of multiple files laying across a table with two or three people off panel speaking with the text being something akin to:
Quote
TA: Well, what do you think? It took a bit of dirt but I can any one of these for you.
TV: Well they're nice, and the skills listed would be good to have on the team...
TA: ....but?
TV: Weeeeell.....they're a bit expensive..
TA: I don't follow.
SV: What he's trying to say is do you have anyone that we can pay less?
TA:.....I do have a few more that might fit that bill...*grumble*all that dirt wasted */grumble*
Or something like that....So if anyone would like to have a dossier made up for your character let me know and I'll dig through the thread and find yours, and just kinda give me an idea what kind of makrup stuff do you want like the red notes and other fluff for the profile.

*ahem* A "bit" more background / wall of text about my character.
Helle-Mai Räätäli, age 50s (*mumble mumble*), immune, based in Saimaa area, Finland
"These tools belonged to my grandfather. I spent quite a bit of time with him when I was young, and he would tell me stories. He was a teenager when the Rash illness came to Estonia, and his father and sister died of it. His mother fled with her two surviving children and her orphaned niece. They made their way to Finland, and stayed a while in Lahti. That was where he met his first wife, Katri. She was apparently quite a lively and daring person, and they used to raid abandoned houses in Lahti together after most of the surviving populace fled to Saimaa.
It was on one of those raids that he got these tools. He’d loved drawing as a boy and had been shown how to make woodcuts, and he took up the practice again to while away the evenings in their safe house. I still have some of the blocks he made. See this one?
(http://i.imgur.com/ajafuhq.jpg?1)
It’s supposedly about a real true story, about the time Katri was attacked by a troll while taking a sauna. Seems she managed to lock it in there and she stoked the fire to get the sauna roaring hot. After about an hour, she opened the door to the sauna, whereupon the troll staggered out and lurched to the stream here to cool off, and then stood up, thanked Katri and walked calmly into the woods, never to be seen again.
But Katri died somehow; I don’t know if it was Rash or not, my grandfather would just shake his head and sigh and change the subject. My grandfather came to live with the rest of his family here in Niinisaari, married my grandmother and they had my mother and uncles. One of my uncles went up and worked on one of the boats on the Keuruu-Pori waterway, but the rest of the family stayed here. I’m one of four children, well six originally I suppose, two of them died as babies, the first one and the one right before me. My husband comes from a really big family, he’s one of nine! We don’t have any children, but two of my nephews live with us.
I get by from the honey from my hives and the birch beer and mead I make with my nephew Jukku, and a bit from making these stamps for all the official paperwork. I sometimes try to make pictures like my grandfather used to make, but I have no talent for it. He said a lot of his pictures had meant to be book plates, but he also told me he didn’t have books before the Rash came, they just had some sort of, I don’t know, magic apple where the stories would appear on it and you could turn the pages by waving your hand over the apple. He left his behind in Estonia because they couldn’t bring anything from the Rash areas. I don’t know, doesn’t make sense to me either, he said it was an apple. It’s probably like sending a troll to sauna and having it come out like a human, just a story."

The radio's distinct garbling echoed over the small cabin, where two of the expedition skalds sat. Sonja was frowning deeply at the noise, she'd seen how one of the other mages had silenced the anguished voices. Had that been Matthew or so someone else? The radio's sound changed and the officials at the base spoke.Sonja, shook her head half formed wonderings of where the rather eccentric scout had wandered off too.
"Oh! It is good to hear your voice! So how is everything?" Sara's voice cut through the silence that came with the radio's connection. Soon Sofie was recanting the last few days events, a slight worried tone to her voice as she spoke of the dangerous encounter with a couple of trolls.
"Oh sounds like you've had quite an eventful week. I take it you've also recovered some things?" Sonja's ears perked at a sound from one of the interior areas, she could hear two voices making their way to the place where she stood.
"Sofie, I'm going to see to our returning scouts. I'm a little worried about the one." Sonja paused long enough to meet Sofie's eyes, the two exchanged a knowing look before the Icelander moved into the darker area of the research vehicle.
Immediately Sonja saw two of their known Finnish mages, she sighed hoping that one of them might have seen the scout she was looking for. She was about to ask when she remembered neither would understand. She frowned, and sighed.
"Kahli, Maja?" The two mages looked up at her, she scratched the back of her head before attempting to collect her thoughts "ah, um. . .I'm looking for Matthew." The pair looked to each other and then back to Sonja, speaking quickly. "Matthew?" She asked again this time raising her hands up in questioning manner. This time the two looked at each other obviously asking each other about the mentioned scout. They shrugged and indicated that they didn't know where he was. Sonja nodded thanks and continued her journey, she felt like she'd be searching for several minutes before hearing a squeak from on of the bunk areas. She wandered to the area to see Karri grinning at a scarf, that itself wasn't odd, but it was the black bird motif that stood a stark contrast to the other flame colored yarn that caught Sonja's eye. Karri looked up at Sonja and showed her the scarf.
"This was on my pillow! It's really cool" Karri proceeded to wrap it around her neck, still grinning from ear to ear. Sonja smiled softly at the young cleanser.
"I think I know who might have made that." Sonja looked around the bunk area "have you seen Matthew? I'm a bit worried about him." Karri tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"He's the really odd Finnish-Icelandic mage, right?" Sonja nodded, before Karri continued "I usually see him around Haiz. I think he sleeps under hir's bunk." Karri lead Sonja to the mentioned area, where the two found the scout tucked and asleep, a couple of scraps of flame and black colored yarn laying on his pillow.

So I gave a quick read to the thread and for whatever reason, I the urge to draw Almond Goddess' character.

I had never drawn a bird before, it was rather tricky.
Looks like you've gotten a good handle on it, though - nicely done!

DancingRanger and Wavewright62 - yissss, stories!!!!! Everything is becoming so fleshed out now and it's totally awesome, your stories and backgrounds are adding such character and history and it is super to read ^_^
SolarPoweredGirl - I'm really impressed with how much your art has developed recently, as in, your pictures are improving REALLY quickly and I'm looking forwards to seeing more of your stuff :D
Solokov - mememememe! I totally want an awesome file ^_^ *ahem* anyway, I'd like you to know that the building was totally rotten and going to fall down anyway, so I don't know why they even keep it on record :P
Curry - your stuff is always awesome, but this was especially adorable, had me grinning quite a bit there ^_^

@kahli: Sure. Any special notes you want added on the dossier Or just a basic but scant dossier? Also this is the correct post right? (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=359.msg24124#msg24124)
As an FYI I will be drawing mugshots so that way the style is uniform.
Anyway for starters I now need to make an exploitable Manilla folder, photograph and dossier sheet so that way I can just make the head-shots to fit into a photo square.....This may be a bit more ambitious than I initially planned.
OH WELL!....::worried laughter::
Additionally, any particular backgrounds for the dossier photo? I mean I can use the height bars, but I'll need how tall each is for that.

My SSSSona wouldn't be an adventurer candidate, but could I have typed up some research notes on your table? e.g. "You didn't hear it from *me,* but old land-use records show there was this big horn-of-plenty called an IKEA about 50 miles from here..."
They'd have to be typed, because I have atrocious handwriting. And that would probably be the case even in the 22nd century.

Thanks, your sona's on my list to draw next.*meeeeeeeep!* (Heheh, I think I need to produce more varied onomatopoeia :P - assume this is the sound that happens when I'm excited by an art thing!). I get drawn :D !!!!!!!!!! If you're happy waiting we could art trade? I've some other stuff being prioritised now (and I'm really slow at drawing) so you probably wouldn't see anything for a week or two, but if your happy with that then I think it would be pretty fun to draw your SSSSona :3
Huh, that's strange it looks like it's there for me :/ Well it's on the powerpoint of absolutely everyone however, so it might be better for me to post that rather than repost (slide 19 at the moment).

Background can be height bars if it makes it easier :3 (165ish centimetres) or wooden panels as you'd expect to find in a viking hall if you'd like something different - you're the one drawing so your choice!

I have tried to put these pictures on here for maybe 15 minutes now please someone teach me how to do this before I throw something.First you need the image url, so upload the picture somewhere (dA, tumblr, imgur etc) and then right-click on the image. Instead of clicking "copy url" there should be an option like "copy image url", which you should choose.
When you write your message there are some symbols up on the left side over the smileys. One of them is a small Mona Lisa (right below Bold), click that and put your link inside the tags.

It's sorta messy and not very detailed, but you get the idea ^^ consistent art styles? What are those?I also never gave her a name for some reason, so here it is: Hanna Jansson. 'Hanna' is the shortened and more Scandinavian sounding version of my actual name, Hannah, and Jansson... sounded nice. (It's also the name of Tove Jansson, who I love, but I only realised that after I picked it. Weird.)
Solokov - is it a too late to ask for my own file too? I somehow missed your earlier post, but if you're too swamped with requests right now then it's fine if you don't want to do me as well c:
[shameless self-promotion] A quick update on the Infodump - it is now updated up to and including the extra information that wavewright posted earlier, and you can view it all here; https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.p [/shameless self-promotion]

So I realised that my main picture of my OC does not really give a good view of her facial structure or hair, so here is another sketch of her in a forward-facing profile. I tried to make it look a bit like a photograph, complete with coffee stain and fold lines, but you can be the judge of how well that turned out ;)So pretty~!.....(https://40.media.tumblr.com/ba73abd5c52354ff57075e87beb8f1a2/tumblr_nmy60jAvea1tki1pto1_540.jpg).....I was going to use 'Bergström' originally, but Piney is using 'Bergstrom' and AquaAquarion has 'Bornström', and they both sound a bit too similar for me to use it
I wouldn't mind if you use Bergström (Piney is actually using that, I don't know why it says Bergstrom in the infodump), I was thinking I could change mine and we could be cousins or something ^^ (I won't do it unless you guys want to ofc)

Thank you! That's a really nice idea, and it would sort of make sense - we are all 'Swedish' after all. I would absolutely be up for doing it, if Piney also agrees. If she doesn't than that's also fine; I really like 'Jansson' as well, so the loss of my first choice didn't make me too upset :)
(I'll just go correct Piney's name in the infodump, thank you for telling me about that slip-up!)

I have a question. Are people drawing themselves in the SSSS universe, or are they making OCs?? I mean, not that it matters, I just really really need want to know because I'm a bit confused (personally I've made my character exactly like myself except that she can fire a gun, sort of. Which she is only able to do because it'd be required of her)

I mean, not that it matters, I just really really need want to know because I'm a bit confused (personally I've made my character exactly like myself except that she can fire a gun, sort of. Which she is only able to do because it'd be required of her)I'm drawing myself =) if I get around writing a bio I will also try to base it on myself.

Yeah okay. I guess the thread is called "self-inserts" after all, but some people have been referring to their drawings as OCs so I was just wondering
(Hehe, my bio will be heavily based on myself as well)

That's ok! It was just an idea :)

Well I am mostly drawing myself (personality wise), but I have taken some liberties with languages, nationality, appearance - although I have mostly stayed true to how I look in real life -, backstory etc. to help my character fit into the SSSS universe.

I'm kind of drawing myself, but definitely tweaked a bit and given a backstory different to my own life story (there are some parallels but i've kind of broken myself of the habit of making pure self-inserts and i'm trying not to go back to that :I ). Karri's personality is a *touch* more volatile than my own but the facial expressions at least are very similar 8)
Also, blanket thank you to everybody who said nice things about my drawing of baby Haiz and I!! I'm working on doing a couple more, actually! Fimbulvarg, the sketch in the background is a doodle of how Karri and Freddie would react to each other ('eyeLINER?? TELL ME UR SECRETS WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND WORKS BEST GIMME YOUR INFORMATION' -both of them, probably) upon introduction. What nerds.
Frenci and Oh Deer, we're all so cute!! I will be working on another installment in the headshot series with all you new cuties soon! I think there are 4 of you to draw now. I might wait until another person posts theirs just so I can properly dedicate a page to you guys in my sketchbook • v •

Personality and appearance, mostly, but, you know, self-insertish because I'm not even remotely from Scandinavia. I personally haven't given too much thought to my character's history because she's not quite a character in my eyes, but I guess if I ever get around to making a backstory it'll become less "what I might possibly look like in year 90" and more "a person I might be in year 90," if that makes any sense at all. So, currently just a sort of representation.
I'm most definitely an accordion troll IRL as well.

Wow, that's some dedication right there. I like how easy it is to tell people apart without eve looking at the name labels.

other than the name (which i just yanked from my grandmother and great-grandmother) and the gun-firing proficiency, it's mostly the same thing for me. like haiz, i've done some alternate-universe mapping for my real life interests/talents/languages. so alt-universe me longs for an artsy or skaldic existence in the big city while doing stuff that i'm not thrilled about to make a living. norwegian takes the place of spanish as a native language, but i prefer using the lingua franca icelandic/english because of its utility.
frenci, your drawings are so great! i love that everyone looks unique and like their own person.
maybe now that some of my exams are done, i'll be able to do some more drawings of my own... i may redo my ssssona with my new haircut, and i might also doodle some of you guys. :)

*meeeeeeeep!* (Heheh, I think I need to produce more varied onomatopoeia :P - assume this is the sound that happens when I'm excited by an art thing!). I get drawn :D !!!!!!!!!! If you're happy waiting we could art trade? I've some other stuff being prioritised now (and I'm really slow at drawing) so you probably wouldn't see anything for a week or two, but if your happy with that then I think it would be pretty fun to draw your SSSSona :3
Huh, that's strange it looks like it's there for me :/ Well it's on the powerpoint of absolutely everyone however, so it might be better for me to post that rather than repost (slide 19 at the moment).
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.p
As for being a bit more ambitious, well that seems like half the fun of things :P and so long as your happy with your work take all the time you need and make it awesome!
Background can be height bars if it makes it easier :3 (165ish centimetres) or wooden panels as you'd expect to find in a viking hall if you'd like something different - you're the one drawing so your choice!
Sure, I haven't started yours yet, so take however much time you need. I will be posting my bio before I post the next story.

Yet, base bio done!
Mathew Mäkinen (Sequoyah)
Was born in Finland
His mother was descendant of a group of Cherokee Indians that had been asked to demonstrate their customs, when the rash broke out they stayed to help.
He's trained as Medicine Man, but is regarded by Finnish military as a mage.
He's studied both Icelandic and Finnish mage traditions.
Speaks; Cherokee, Finnish, Icelandic,a few words in Swedish/Norwegian/Danish
His actual name is Sequoyah, but it's Matthew that appears on his paperwork.
Sequoyah means sparrow in Cherokee.

Something in the air didn't feel right. Pale eyes wandered the corridor, the light from the Cleanser's lamps lighting up all but the darkest corners. Something, no someone brushed against his shoulder. Eyes wandered to the figure next to him.
"You okay, Haiz?" The voice was soft, and very concerned. The bright green eyes darkened to a deep emerald ghosted to meet the other's eyes.
"Y-yeah. I didn't mean to startle you." A gloved hand came up and a those pale eyes looked around. The Cleansers had moved out of sight, and the two mages were alone.
"It's fine." Again the voice was soft, calm, almost too calm. A gentle hand was placed on Haiz's shoulder and the scout moved a bit closer. There was definitely something here that didn't feel right.
"Sequoyah?" His name whispered over his ears, and the pale eyes found their way back onto Haiz. The other mage had just seemed then to pick up on the same feeling that he'd just been thinking about.
"Hmm? You feel it too?" There was a nod and the slightly shorter mage closed the distance between them.
"We need to get out of here." The pitch of Haiz's voice jumped up, and Sequoyah gently squeezed their shoulder. He moved forward and gently lead toward where he thought the Cleansers had gone.
The pair quietly moved through the dusty hall, the silence becoming deafening.
"Sequoyah?" The silence fell back, and the the scout paused, and turned to look at the other.
"Hmm?" Haiz started to speak, when the scout's head whipped to the side, the eyes boring into the darkness. Suddenly Sequoyah, grabbed hir wrist and drug them to run. There was a sudden panic to those cold eyes as the pair charged through the corridors. Just as suddenly Sequoyah stopped, his head whipped back and forth, and he pushed Haiz behind him as he stepped back. From the darkest corners several trolls move forward, effectively trapping the pair where they stood. Sequoyah had already begun murmuring a soft plea for the spirits of the trolls to leave them be. Haiz's eyes scanned the area before spotting the small spot of sunlight above them. A tap on the shoulder and the faintly glowing eyes flitted to the other then to the small broken hole in the window above them. The pair nodded to each other and the scout crouched allowing the the other to clamber onto his shoulders, before hoisting them up to the light. There was a frantic urgency as both mages drew out the staves needed to rid the troll from their path.
From outside the building a solid thuump was heard before being followed by the screams of trolls. Not long later the excavation team came running out, the mages covered in dust and some troll blood. All four unharmed and quickly recovered.

Yes, a typewritten memo/note was what I was picturing. Signed with my SSSSona's name if it makes dramatic sense to you -- but not if it doesn't. You can just assume a bunch of blurry newspaper clippings barely visible under the dossiers are from me if you prefer.
BTW, the pneumatic cannon 'splosion actually happened?!? :o Now I want to see your IRL dossier. ;)

Post by: princeofdoom on April 18, 2015, 12:28:19 AM
Name: Ilmari Koskinen
Age: 26
Birthday: April 22
Immune: Yes
Nationality: Finnish (mixed with Norwegian)
Appearance: Dark straight hair, short everywhere except the forelocks, which tend to go behind his ears/get swept back. Green eyes, near-sighted and wears glasses to correct for it. Oval-ish face shape. Thick eyebrows, long upturned nose, thinner upper lip. 5'6, on the thin side, but wiry. Tends to wear comfortable clothing when not working as a night scout. Also vests.
Personality: Not mean, but kind of clueless in daily life, including being completely unable to understand simple instructions half the time or having no “common sense”. Gets along perfectly fine out in the forests sneaking around beasts and the occasional troll. Can't iron a shirt to save his own life.
Family and history: His father is a Finn skald and his mother is a Norwegian who traveled when she was younger and ended up meeting Ilmari's father and settling down there.
His father did have another son, Ilmari's half brother, who passed away for unknown reasons when Ilmari was a little under 13. The family had been planning to move to a Norwegian settlement with his mother's family, but the death put that off for a while
Talents/skills: On top of some basic skills for life, Ilmari does have some skill with magic though not quite enough to be a mage. He can cook well, and brings back the occasional wild herbs and mushrooms. He can speak some Norwegian and the related languages enough to get by if he really works at it. Then again, he doesn't really talk to new folks if not spoken to first, and tends to do simple tasks in odd ways.

I'm not that much of a visual artist so I've gotten used to describing people a bit more when needed. But if I do get a good drawing, I'll post it.

In actual fact, Karl is pretty much like Onni times two with the blackmailability of Ása, which means the Karl is currently out in the Silent World, silently cursing Sara Hållander for getting him into this mess. That picture was at the Academy.
That is also pretty much me with magic, don't worry.

You don't have to if you don't feel like it, but it's nice to have a picture. Don't worry about how skilled you are, it will look great anyway no doubt! c: And thanks for pointing out the mistake -- usually I go over the slides and correct any glaring spelling mistakes, but I must have missed that one. Oops :/
Okay. So, because it's probably getting really annoying having me without a face, so here:

I drew all the ssssonas/OCS!
It took all day!
Also drew Lalli, Reynir and Emil in chibi versions cos i still had free place on the paper
*****I tried*****
EEEE, you drew everyone and I love your drawing of me!
So much have been added when I've been away, it is so much fun browsing through the threads.
Laufey, your watercolor art of Fimbulvarg is stunning *throws roses*

I made a quick picture of Karl/me in SSSS looking like I'm actually cool. In actual fact, Karl is pretty much like Onni times two with the blackmailability of Ása, which means that Karl is currently out in the Silent World, silently cursing Sara Hållander for getting him into this mess.
Hey, Karl, don't blame me if you took literally all that stuff I gave you about Euro-Disney! Don't you know Disneylands aren't real? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEWIaJud44k) They're just symbolic, like Mt. Olympus or the Finnish "birds' country."
I mean, we know the Before-Timers had some weird superstitions, like drawing people with the heads of mice or ducks or rabbits. But animalheads and "furries" who talked normally and wore clothes didn't actually exist, any more than "spaceships" that would "fly" people to the stars.
Gotta run now -- I'm late for weekly worship at the Golden Arches.

@Sunflower: and then someone digs through the stuff that was on Strelokov's companions and finds photos of him +4 others off at the Baikonur Cosmodrome checking out the structures, killing grosslings and examining a few dead cosmonaut trolls that were strapped in a prepped for launch but now heavily corroded and falling apart Buran.
General comment goes here: Any news or word on the forum rpg?

Waitaminnit. A) Are my former news-reporting contacts at Sverige Public Radio that good?
B) Don't be silly -- everybody knows there's no such thing as cosmonauts. When Frank Sinatra sang "Fly Me to the Moon," he was being metaphorical. And those hilarious photos of "moon landings" -- c'mon, those were just a running joke in the Before-Times, like jackalopes. Or elephants.

Bad news: I really wanna draw all your adorable ssssonas (or as much as I can). But for now - only three victims, everyone else are in safety (I'm not threatening you but it's probably not for long).

I've decided I'm going to give a few little stories about Ilmari and him having no common sense or similar.
Ilmari is not allowed to use a clothing iron because the last time he did, it somehow got stuck to the ceiling. Despite there being witnesses, no one is exactly sure how it happened.

These drawings just keep coming! I... just.... there are no words how amazing and strange it is for me when have people draw her. She started out as just a falconer gal in the SSSS-verse, but seeing how much love you've all been putting in your respective characters compelled me to post a little bio along with the my drawing of her, and eventually start doing art exchanges. I had no idea that I would become as invested in her now as I was at the beginning of this month.
So, really, thank you for being interested enough in her to draw such lovely pieces!
P.S. Fimbulvarg and Noodly Appendage -- I'm working on your art trades right now! (:

It shows how much skill you have at designing a vivid, unique character, that so many of us want to draw her and read more about her life. (I particularly like mad robin's drawings of the naughty falcon and its facial expressions -- reminds me of Archimedes and other creatures in "The Sword in the Stone.")

Almond Goddess and her lovely pet (it looks like a pigeon but it's a falcon, I swear). Oliga and... ahem... grade OMG cat. And Haiz - brilliant mage doing hmmmm... mysterious magic things. Finnish andnorwegianicelandic both at once.
These are beautiful, mad robin! As I told Almond-Goddess, the expressions you gave her falcon are priceless. I also like your portrait of Oliga (who has the MOST BEST uniform of anyone in the Self-Inserts crew) and her "Grade OMG" cat. It looks like she's saying, "Oh no, Herra Nuha [Mr. Sniffles], you've been fighting again!" (And the cat's like, Yeah? So?)

Oh man you guys have done it!
My fingers are itching, I tell you - ITCHING! However I can't draw for the life of me, and right now I have Unneglectable Responsibilities (workkk) so I won't post anything right now.
Also I'm debating wether I should make my self-insert Norwegian or Icelandic. Because my name works in Icelandic and are SO MUCH COOLER than in Norwegian. However I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD LIE A LOT OR JUST A LITTLE!
Also, can I be mechanic with uncontrollable mood swings and silver colored hair who hums and whistles unrecognizable songs while happy and mumbles non-understandable words when grumpy? (Lol that was about 3/4 of my character idea. I made her only to describe her with those exach words..)

Pfff, I can't draw either. I just came up with a persona and kind souls pictured me (making me much cuter than IRL). So don't let a lack of art ability stop you.
A mechanic sounds like a useful person to have around, and Icelanders seem to be dominant by numbers in the Known World. I think it would be very entertaining to have bits of that fine old traditional ballad Waterloo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj_9CiNkkn4) lilting out from under the truck as you're inspecting the drive train. ;)

@Aquaaquarion: If I ever finish the dossier page (color it to my liking) I'll crop out the page from the background and offer that up as an update to replace the text bit on my page in the infodump since I've changed Strelokov's profile a bit since I initially posted it.I'm not sure why you're telling me this, but it sounds like a nice idea =)

Yeah, I gathered you might need one whole mechanic since you, as far as I've seen, only have a bunch of halves (that sounds terrible) - I also noticed all the cleansers seem to be a little too excited about explosives/other stuff and the thought was to make a girlman (girl/woman, though I see the combination doesn't work like I wanted it to) who just mumbles and hisses at everyone when they break her beloved machines and when she's finished she'll always go: "THIS KS THE LAST TIME I'M CLEANING UP YOUR MESS!" but everyone knows that's a lie she loves working on those machines she's just keeping up appearances
Also Sunflower - now her main theme will be Waterloo. That will be her favourite unrecognizable song to hum and whistle AND THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO STOP IT BWAHAHAHA

Unless you don't want to of course.

Age: 25 years of age
Nationality: Icelandic
Birth Area: Dalvik
Immune: No
Profession:
Languages: :iceland: :norway:
Appearance:
- Pale skin
- Greyblue eyes
- Short, silverblonde hair with sidecut lefthand side - almost always messy because mechanic
- Round face with ashblonde eyebrows, always a little dirty again because mechanic
- Oval shaped body, slightly muscular
- 1.70 m/~5.7 ft
- Uses rectangular shaped glasses because she's shortsighted; the glasses almost always rest on the top of her head, unless she's tucked under a vehicle
- Probably wears something inspired by this (http://www.islandia.is/boknord/Myndir/Buningarvef/storir/Hildarbuningur.jpg) only it has pants and a shirt+vest+jacket or something whenever she's not fiing her babies, I don't know but I like the pattern and colour. However, she might be wearing something less pretty so she doesn't have to roll in the mud in her pretty icelandic clothes because reasons (I'm not even sure what I'm trying to get across anymore..)
Backstory:
Iða Kristínudóttir Leifsdóttir was born to Leifur Jónssón and Kristín Mæjudóttir 25 years ago in Dalvik, Iceland. Leifur is a sheep farmer, and Kristín is a nurse. For many years, Iða, who is the youngest of four siblings and rather far from her older siblings in age, was expected to take over her fathers farm, since all her older siblings had gone and gotten other jobs before she was old enough to understand the concept. Therefore she was well raised and taught how to take care of the farm and the sheep. This went on for several years before Iða discovered the most bestness that is machinery. It started out as a hobby, but after a while she decided to study mechanics. She later was offered a job as a mechanic in Reykjavik, and she moved away from home, promising that she would come back to take over the farm when her father is no longer able to. She also took the time to study Norwegian after she moved from Dalvik. Has since then been hired for different jobs here and there, currently with a group of other.. professional characters.
Personality:
Pros
- Hard working
- Efficient
- Good with machinery
- Patient (even if one would not think so)
- Resourceful
Cons
- Usually grumpy
- Not very talkative
- Stubborn
- Headstrong
- Direct
When Iða is happy, she's humming and whistling unrecognisable songs, often in a beautiful mix with no apparent system for when she changes the melody; she only knows her humming and whistling is FABULOUS AND EVERYONE DESERVES TO ENJOY IT!
When she is grumpy, however, all she can muster is non-understandable strings of words that never seems to stops. Well, at least until she's finished fixing whatever she has to fix; then the seemingly never-ending string of mumbling noises will be replaced with a loud and clear "I'M NEVER CLEANING UP AFTER YOU GUYS AGAIN" - however everyone knows that's a lie; she loves working with machinery - she's only keeping up appearances.
Iða never talks to anyone when she works on her babies; most people think it's because she's busy either humming, whistling or mumbling, but it's mostly because she has to get everything done JUST RIGHT. She will probably be eavesdropping on nearby conversations, but she's not one to make a big deal out of the things she's heard unless it's vital she tell someone.
She doesn't really dislike anyone, and drops sudden hints now and then that she enjoys being around other people. She's not very talkative, but she's not shy either. It's just that she's more of a listener than a talker.
EDIT She loves owls - she's almost obsessed with owls, and though she thinks ALL THE OWLS are beautiful, her one true owl-love is the Eurasian eagle-owl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_eagle-owl), of which she has gathered and impressive amount of information on.
ALSOOOOO: I am so sorry this is so long, I've been sitting with this for several hours now just pouring my entire heart into this SSSSona and this just happened I am so sorry I truly am please don't shoot me with all your awesome magic and weapons and accordion noises..?

WELL I've been spending my last who-knows-the-amount-of-years roleplaying in forums similar to this, so after I learned what a Mary Sue is and how you should NOT powerplay, I started getting the hang of writing long, but not necessarily very GOOD background information about my characters. And I LOOOOOVE details. I could've made my entire family tree with icelandic names and I'd love it and have so much fun with it because I'm weird like that. Mehehe ^^'
And thank you, I try to contribute properly, especially since I can't(or won't) humour you with my amazingly bad drawing skills! : 3

Well, I've spent about half my life now role playing in some form, but I still always feel like I can't really set down a lot of info for sure until I start playing the character. I also feel like my descriptions are a bit terse in general. Despite writing a lot for forum posts and such, I'm pretty minimalistic on description and tend toward things that are absolutely necessary until someone asks about other subjects.

Noooooooo! Don't be sorry, your backstory is awesome and I love how much of a character you've become!!!! In fact, all these well thought out backstories are making me feel bad about mine (in response to Sigrid Marie several pages ago, my SSSSona is basically just me where I'd fit in best in the SSSS universe). Maybe I'll add more to it, but I doubt it would be as convincing as some of the things you guys have been posting :/
Well anyway, this is finally finished.

Either one. As for colors, you can refer to laufey's pic, the pre-expedition outfit would be earthen tones with the medicine wheel colored like this http://5c73a61a517b0fe8a592-3848f4fcbec919e3fd233a88730636bc.r92.cf1.rackcdn.com/medicine-wheel.png, and yes there are a pair of feather in the hair. Face paint is optional.
On another note would your 'sona attempt to communicate with mine? I'm playing with some ideas.

I'd want to get to know them, but if that means "ask them questions" or "start conversations", then unlikely (too scared). I'd stand around listening to their conversations and hope they show interest in me.

Despite writing a lot for forum posts and such, I'm pretty minimalistic on description and tend toward things that are absolutely necessary until someone asks about other subjects.
OK, so we're quite different when it comes to backstory creating. But I mean, that's just cool, because if everyone were the same, I guess there wouldn't be much excitement in life. Also a character isn't necessarily good or exciting just because the backstory is detailed. I could probably have written a whole book about my self-insert - sometimes writing a lot of backstory is the wrong way to go, it all depends on if you know how to restrain yourself and only keep the important parts or the interesting parts of the backstory. I sometimes wish I didn't feel the urge to put in so many details because, as you're pointing out, sometimes it's hard to know your character before having tried them out.
(...)
Noooooooo! Don't be sorry, your backstory is awesome and I love how much of a character you've become!!!! (...)
(...)
Oh wow thank you!! I just really got into it and then there was no stopping me. I'm glad it hasn't been a bother to anyone just yet.
Also, if anyone feel like it, I'd be superhappy for any art contribution. I'm not going to force anyone though, just making sure people know it's okay if anyone feel inspired enough to draw my SSSSona - or include it in their writings or something. I'd love popping in here and there mumbling something or humming/whistling.

Sweet, I've got them all on a doc now to make it easier ^_^ Facepaint is quite tempting…..
Well both 'sonas speak Iclandic so technically we could communicate, and I'm pretty sure my 'sona is all for going on troll hunting vacations so we could also end up in the same location. As for actually attempting to communicate, it would probably be in the form of me asking questions about all the strange stuff you're doing as a mage, or asking about the place where we're at probably. Depends on the situation largely I guess :)
I started feeling bad about how 2D my 'sona seemed in comparison to so many of the others and created a backstory. It is kinda long I'm sorry, but I guess it just felt necessary…. (I haven't actually written anything in quite a while now so be nice please!)
Gwenno grew up in Svolvær and had always wanted to be a troll hunter for as long as she could remember. Each winter the hunters would fill her head with such stories of terror and adventure that she wanted nothing more than to take part in them herself, and each summer they would go out and fight and fewer would return. Year after year this went on and Gwenno decided that as soon as she was old enough she would join them. She grew big dreams of being the best troll hunter ever, of protecting her home singlehandedly, and of nobody ever having to be scared of the world ever again, but dreams are brittle and sometimes there are more than trolls standing in their way. As the years progressed it became apparent that she had no affinity with any kind of firearm, and after more than a few close shaves including blades while training, her teachers and family kindly suggested that it would probably be safer for her to stay away from trolls.
Her mother was from Iceland, and much to Gwenno’s dismay had made sure to teach her daughter to read from a very young age. Because of this, she was given a job as an assistant to a skald, and although her heart was still tied up in stories of troll hunting, she kept it hidden and worked hard to keep her family happy. She tried her hardest, she really did, but the dreams burnt a hole in her heart, and each night she would sneak out and train with anything she could get her hands on, be that cutlery, tree branch clubs, or rope. Some wondered how she’d collected so many bruises working such a mundane job, but it was mainly accredited to clumsiness and left at that. One night, while bruising herself and still making no progress, she saw a broken broom handle and decided to give it a spin, and somehow, something just *clicked*. While she still had a hard time getting things to work, she started getting better, and after a while she progressed to “borrowed” knives, and crafted her own wooden staff. Far away from the eyes of the world she grew stronger. Due to her previous failure she had become timid however, and scared to ask for any form of help lest she seem weak. This meant that although she had become a better fighter she found herself unable to ask to join, and as summer arrived she watched the warriors leaving for their first hunt of the year from her seat at the window-desk. Night fell and once again Gwenno sneaked away to find a quiet spot to train, before realising that the hunters still hadn’t come back. In a brilliant if ill timed moment of bravery she grabbed her staff and knives and climbed over the fence, with the intent of joining the team and helping them if they were caught in trouble. The night was still, and as befits a plan of such phenomental glory and stupidity, her presence in the darkness didn’t go unnoticed, and before she had even reached the first settlement a shadow crept behind her and lunged.....
The troll hunting team found her the next morning on the way back to Svolvær, proped up against a tree, covered in blood, with two cracked ribs and a smile on her face. Sourrounding her on the floor were various pieces of troll. As she was treated back at home, nearly in tears she shouted that if they wouldn’t let her join the team she’d just go out and fight the trolls by herself. What she didn’t know at the time however, was there were pieces of at least three trolls littering the floor around her that day, and it was agreed that maybe she deserved another shot.

One question: is the premise here that: these are people Torbjorn &co. considered for the mission but rejected; people who just live in the known world; or people who went on new missions to the silent world after Torbjorn &co. became rich and famous?
I will try to make myself post at least one drawing of my SSSSona in the next 24 hours.

- She talks to machines more than she talks to people, and can isolate herself from the world when she's working or repairing something.
That's cute! We could use a Rude Goldberg machine of some sort in the fan van actually. Like a machine that kicks you out bed, drags you to the dining space and puts food in front of you.
Or we could just hire someone for that, but a machine would be great.

I'm sorry for bad quality. There are several reasons:
1) I haven't drawn properly since I was 14
2) The apartment I live in haven't got very good lighting
3) My mobile camera isn't the best, even though it's pretty good
4) My uploads lose quality when uploaded
I might update my drawing of Iða, especially since I think this went MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED and hope to UP my drawing game.
Also you guys are hecka inspiring I must say, I've never wanted to draw so bad I actually went through with it - not since I was 14. You must all be Mages with Magic Powers. Or you must be SuperAwesome. Or both.

Here is your slide on the infodump! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.g99a0f29f7_0_0
I look forward to seeing the artwork of your character :D
Also, you were not far off from making the flags correctly -- the only thing wrong was that the coding can't have a capital letter in it (:Sweden:). All you need to do is type it like this; : sweden : (But without the spaces, obviously :) ):sweden: :denmark: :norway: :finland: :iceland:
Thanks for the tip and for making my slide! I'll edit that in a moment.
Drawings of Clara:

Other random doodles:

Another couple questions: do you think the military settlement is at Hitra? It's close enough, anyway.
Is there anywhere to discuss the possible history of Denmark being evacuated? Now that I've started to think about it, I'd be interested in theories, but I don't want to spam this thread. (probably I'd never actually say anything, given my history on the forum, but I'd read other people's opinions.)
Do you think it would be possible for someone with no magic talent to carve runes and then a mage to imbue them with magic, or that a mage would have to do the whole process themselves? I guess there's probably a thread for that too. *grumblemumble*

Hi, Quabus. There is at least a thread for the latter: http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=66.0 ... and you'll find a lot of people eager to discuss that topic with you.
As for your first question, we don't have a thread addressing it yet -- although it's an interesting issue! The closest parallel is discussing what happened to the Faroe Islands. (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=99.msg2965#msg2965) And some of the Survivor Communities Outside the Known World posts touch on areas at the edge of Denmark.
I encourage you to start a thread on that topic. Even if you don't want to go on at length, I bet you'll get plenty of opinions to read. :)

Depends on how well my sona knew the crew member. If they were close, miserable, depressed and more of what Piney and Noodly said. If they were more of an acquaintance then probably just shock and vague forlornness.

Don't be sorry! I think you're amazing at drawing, and I will be really happy whenever you get it done. It would take me at least two weeks to draw all those characters anywhere close to that well.

Okay general question time, cause this ficlet wants to go dark.
What would your reaction to losing a crew member be? (don't worry, it won't be any of you, unless you want to volunteer. . .)
Well darn, that's definitely taking a darker turn…. I guess in the immediate aftermath (assuming the team was still in a dangerous situation) my 'sona would probably be the awful excuse of a human being who's telling everyone else to get their stuff together if they don't want to be next :/ Once everyone was safe it would probably be a mixture of being obnoxiously cheery, and over-normalising everything while trying to cheer everyone up, and maybe eventually giving up and walking far away from people to be alone
Quietly wandering off to burn down a row of buildings.
Edit: Oh wait you meant my ssss'sona's reaction..... Eh....probably about the same but with more explosions.
Seems like a totally legit and healthy reaction to me, and those buildings are probably filled with trolls as well so you're really helping out everyone!
*Eeeeeeeek*, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, wow! Lookit the pretty art trades!!!! Haiz, Piney and Almond Goddess those are just so cool and wonderful (and you guys are just wonderful as well of course)! Haiz I've no idea why a chainsaw would need a knife attached to it, but I'm going to assume that the logic of "all things are better with sharp things attached" applies :P (It is a good chainsaw by the way, and quite a shame that it will be your last to draw :( ). Piney I just want to stroke the feathers, they just seem so poofy and soft. Great job on bird, and ya know, all the rest of the picture as well of course :P . Almond Goddess - Have I ever said how much I like your art style? Because if not then there's something very wrong with past-me! The picture is just so creepy and beautiful, and the way that the tentacles seem to frame Fimbulvarg give me chills. I can't even say that the troll parts are gross, because overwhelmingly it's just haunting and lovely.
Also welcome to new 'sonas :D You're all looking great and it's wonderful to have you all on board :P

What would your reaction to losing a crew member be? (don't worry, it won't be any of you, unless you want to volunteer. . .)
My ssssona would probably try cry a little at first, then become oddly calm and comforting the others. Then when she's alone she would bawl her eyes out until she falls asleep from exhaustion.

Probably cry a lot and go about like normal, but... sobbing. Once Karri starts Karri doesn't stop until there are no more tears to cry ahaha

I'm so glad I signed up for this art trade because that is absolutely outstanding! And so immensely well composed, the balance between light and shadows, focus and background - it's just so professionally done! And I think you've really captured a lot of Minna's style in how to portray trolls.

The night was warm, too warm, as the day scouts returned. There was a pause in work as the small group was debriefed. The night scouts were already speaking among themselves, with Sequoyah translating between Icelandic and Finnish. Ilmari was the first to get up, and move forwards the dispatcher, quickly followed by the others.
"All the Day Scouts have returned. And the news they brought wasn't good." There was a pause as someone translated for those that couldn't understand. "The weather is unseasonally warm, and trolls are starting to stir." Hanna and Francesca, looked wide eyed, while Strelokov looked unmoved. "Tonight we want you to go in pairs, and scout for possible troll nests. But do not engage!" All eyes fell on Strelokov, who mumbled a soft 'fine'. The dispatcher looked between the scouts before her and sighed "I know that there is always the possibility that one of you may not return, but please be careful, so that we don't lose anyone." The scouts nodded solemnly, and then paired off, before being released.
The night was quiet, and the warmth was noted immediately by the scouts as the moved. There was no sign of anything out of the ordinary, just crumbled buildings, abandoned cars, and something stirring out of the sight of the scouts now moving between the ruins. The night was quiet, the air still and sticky, nothing made a sound. Sequoyah frowned, and looked over his shoulder at the other scout. They met eyes and a feeling of unease fell between them. An explosion of gunfire from a few blocks over spurred the two back into motion. They can around the corner in time to see the first team, fall beneath a wave of trolls. Bile rose into Sequoyah's mouth as he turned to run, his partner frozen where they stood. Suddenly there was a warm, moistness across his side, and the other scout charging to him. They didn't waste any time getting back to the vehicle.
Three scouts did not return. The ones that did sat in silence, eyes trained on the floor. When morning came, there was a brief meeting to relay what had happened during the night. There was a moment of strange denial among the crew, then their was mournful signed, and sobs as reality set in. For a while a couple of people moved between members of the crew, attempting to cheer them, but to no avail. Soon there was silence as everyone found their own spots to morn. Losing was a hard thing, but it could always happen.

Oh! Forgot to mention - I would love to do some more art trades, so if anyone wants me to properly draw them and such, message me!
I can't straight away (got to finish Haiz, Curry / poor neglected responsibilities) but definitely at a later time, if you're interested.

Yeah absolutely! I have a couple others on my plate, so I won't be able to get around to it for a couple weeks anyway.

Whoop, I'm super happy with it!! I like the vivid colours and the dynamic pose! It radiates all that (misplaced?) confidencea hunterOdin's chosen warrior with a (golden) chainsaw would have! Maybe it could be the scene preceding Laufey's picture chronologically :P
You took me by surprise but I've nevertheless got good news: I hope to finish my part of the art trade by tomorrow night! I just need to redo some parts that I'd like to be better.
Aaaaahh I'm so glad you like it!! ESPECIALLY THE POSE BECAUSE
the amount of sketches i made to find a good pose

your oc can be glad they're fun to draw
also yayy EXCITEMENT OVER BEING DRAWN
Almond-Goddess: i have no words anymore. I'm. just gonna lie on the floor and stare on the roof for a bit
Gwenno: all art so far of Fimby's OC seems to have some makeshift composite weapon and I tried to keep the theme, but my creativity when it comes to makeshift weapons seems to die out after "attach a blade maybe", ahahah
(also it's PROBABLY not the last chainsaw I'll ever draw,, whenever i say im not gonna draw a thing I always, ALWAYS end up having to draw it several times shortly after. Nobody told me to draw a chainsaw, though. i just decided to and started to hate myself immediately after ahahahahaha ha ha)
ALSO BLANKET THANK U to everyone who commented!!!!

Great! I love sketches! Sometimes almost as much as the finished work (mostly for the expressions/wacky poses)! I can see you've been busy. Sadly I don't have any sketches to show myself.

Maybe something like a flamethrower attachment (to tenderise the meat for the saw) could work? Then again that's not really sharp.

Neat. I would like to point out Strelokov is not trigger happy, though the question of him being trigger happy could be brought up due to him being clearly new to the military, despite being experienced in surviving in the silent world, when I get these dossiers done (my sketch pencil wandered off I think it's in my truck) I'll be doing a short story a bit.
Anyway the rough ending moral of the story I'm working on is "it is the elder foxe's job to teach the younger kits how to remain quiet until the wolves and bears have passed by, and occasionally to lead the more inquisitive bears and wolves away from the den without making a fuss".
Edit: Also I didn't mean that as a jab btw, I feel I was a little unclear regarding Strelok's motivation and mental stuff. He doesn't exactly take losing a team member well.

Especially depicting different characters than the ones I usually create. I'm still quite unsure with characters that fall way outside my normal perimeters. Strelokov is one of those outliers, I will do better in the future. ^-^ (I also need to write when I'm not in the dozy half-awake state I was when I wrote that one.)

I like it very much, but you should probably put it in an image bracket so that it doesn't get buried in the torrent of text and images that is this thread.
Unless you don't want to of course.
Yes, yes, I totally meant to do that right away once I had access to an actual computer, but I... guess I got sidetracked. So! Here is an "official" introduction to my ssssona - this time with fun facts! (This thread moves too fast, wow.)

Nationality: .......................... Dane
Area of birth: ................. Bornholm
Gender: ............................ Female
Immunity: ............................... No
Profession: ....................... Student
Languages: .............. :denmark: (:iceland: sorta)
- If not plain forgetful, is certainly scatterbrained.
- Has no business being anything but a student at this point in her life.
- She's not shy, but is uncomfortable talking to people she doesn't know.
- Signed up for this team by accident - no one's quite sure how it happened. She was frantic at first, but got used to the idea fairly quickly and is now even looking forward to it.
- Knows just enough Icelandic to get by in language classes and read, but knows she'll be in over her head as soon as she needs to have a conversation with someone who actually speaks the language.
- Is not too concerned about her lack of immunity. The chances of her getting the Illness are just as high as her chances of breaking a bone or something. Right.
- Has general interest in almost all academic fields, but is yet to decide what she actually wants to study.
- Does not want to be a doctor.
- Can be too cheerful.
- Can be too free with the use of verbal irony.
- Knows lots of useless facts because she's read too many random books.
- Really needs a haircut.

Yeah, I was doing similar things. I also did some proper Bo-katas and knocked over the table. I had also brought out my knife and sword, and had way too much fun with those too.

Ah no, no scars here. That was just a 'fold' in the photograph. I did wonder whether it looked like that, but decieded to leave it, so I can see where you are coming from :). As for eye and hair colour, I (and she I guess) have green eyes and really dark brown hair - almost black. I hope this helps!

Haha, awesome I love it :D Real life me is actually Welsh, so the dragon totally fits in as well (here's a picture of our flag to explain the dragon reference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Flag_of_Wales_2.svg/1280px-Flag_of_Wales_2.svg.png - it is the most best flag!). As for Bo Staff practice we don't have a garden big enough for me to practice so I usually just go to one of the local parks, and the funny looks are something I'm more than familiar with :P (Sunflower, it usually ends up being horribly immature swooshing and playing about after a while as well, but either way it's really fun. My teacher also has a lightsaber bokken which we're all insanely jealous of)
I've got the lineart done for yours as well DancingRanger ^_^ but it probably won't be coloured and finished until maybe monday or tuesday
@Gwenno: Would gwenno the ssss'sona be the kind of person to be holding a knife in the teeth when having a photo taken of her?
Also I need eye color.
Yes, I think you've managed to grasp my 'sona's character quite perfectly here :P A knife held between the teeth is exactly the kind of accessory a girl needs to look awesome for a photo! The eye colour is a grey-blue

For instance - I have pale green eyes with an gold-brown inner ring. I tend to favour cool and earthy colour tones in clothing so most people see either green eyes or grey depending on the combinations. From afar, though, they usually cannot identify the colour.
Post by: AquaAurion on April 23, 2015, 11:22:23 AM
They don't turn. You have a baseline hazel colour. They will look blue or green depending on the intensity of the light, angle, and what you are wearing.It's exactly like this for me =) I have pale grey eyes with a dark blue/gray outer ring and a golden inner ring. Depending on what I wear they look either more grey/blue or more green :D

I love the colours, and that's a very Haiz-like pose too, reminds me of one of the photos with the cape... also though you say you don't know runes it still look like there'll be two different versions of ægishjámur (= strikes fear into anyone who might try to attack you) in there once it's done, so whatever this is aimed at is soon going to be pretty scared.
E he, Sorry *fingers crossed behind back*
Maybe it would be a great prank spell ("Myahaha, your face looks totally scared!")

Here's a list of viking markets being arranged in scandinavia this year (http://www.eikthyrnir.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:markedskalender-2015&catid=37:markedskalender&Itemid=54), hee
(not in trondheim this year :/// but if it were I'd be there as an archery instructor)
also thanks, i had to sew the outfit myself......... you can't see how wonky it is on pictures...........
*hugs bow* mine
(it's not even an accurate viking bow. it's a hungarian horsebow, vikings used longbows)
TFW when you can understand a lil' bit of Norwegian- I want a viking market here in Spain ;v; but eh, at least today is Catalonia's day (Sant George or Sant Jordi) and we have some mediaval things hehe
Nah, it looks well :3c
nuh It's mine ;^; (Hehe I don't care, I want it-)

...annnd onward! These two are just killing time, quite possibly in a deliberate attempt at neglecting their responsibilities. Btw my sincerest apologies to Noodly Appendage for kind of sort of using her idea of Frenci up a tree. Bigger version of the pic can be found here (http://kuukab.deviantart.com/art/Francesca-and-Tabea-528726198?ga_submit_new=10%253A1429824853).
The other one is Tabeabd, whose character (unlike Frenci's) cannot climb trees very well. I think she used the words "absolutely helpless" when I asked. ;D

Arr, that's so amazing *shakes fist at Laufey*. The tree, the leafs, the two of them - everything! How dare you!
I guess practicing tree-climbing is a useful excercise if you'd rather stay out of the beasts' reach (?).

And "deliberate attempt at neglecting their responsibilities" is painfully accurate, at least for me.

Alas, Fimby, trolls can climb well as the ceiling pug proved (KauniitaUnia's character is indeed marked as immune)... Also RealRedCloudYT did you really just ÅMG. ;D

Thank you! I'm assuming you're getting the Mikkel vibes from the hair? I tried to base her hair off of how my hair looks when I don't straighten it with a flat iron (it's a fluffy mess that looks pretty Mikkel-ish lol). Making her a Danish medic proooobably didn't help either pffft (look at my life, look at my choices).

Wow! It looks amazing so far! Has my eye stopped roaming yet? I keep telling it that it really needs to settle down one of these days, buy a house, get a wife, you know...? It never listens. Very annoying I must say.
Anyways... can I just be really nitpicky and annoying for 5 seconds and tell you that my parting is on the right side if my head, and not in the centre? I know that my hair is kind of wild and a bit ruffled so it's sort of hard to see, so I drew this Helpful Diagram (in MS paint, with my mouse...)
(http://s28.postimg.org/ujbice2kt/parting.jpg)
Otherwise, she's spot on! I really love the detail you've put in the edging of her jacket/parka thing ;)
Oh and Baku, I may as well tell you while I am still here that I updated the infodump with your profile. I love your character design, and you're right - she does remind me a bit of Mikkel ^^

I'm totally OK with that! 18 -- count 'em, **18** separate portraits!! That's a lot to draw. Very impressive! Everyone looks "Piney-fied" and yet totally themselves.
Besides, I already have Unlos' lovely drawing, featuring me at the prettiest desk I've ever seen (hopefully strong enough to stand up to my wrapping my feet around its legs, as I often do) and something cute in my hair. (Is it a scarf? A snood? Anything like that would certainly work to restrain my mass of insanely fluffy hair.)

Alexis Eklund
Age:13
Nationality: Swede
Area of Birth: Mora
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Cleanser (Trainee)
Languages: :sweden: :france: (Its a long story, but the layout of it is that there are more french speakers than creole speakers in the new world. She does know the basics of creole however, so its not too bad.)
History: Alexis grew up on the reaches of Inner Mora, living a cushy, if somewhat pressured and lonely life. By the age of ten however, she had become became completely fed up with her current situation, with her older twin sisters having fled to the four winds, and her mother not trusting her scatterbrained brother with anything. The pressures begin unloading to learn her heritage and keep on going, even though she doesn't really want to. She begins dreaming about running away and joining the (a highly romanticized version) cleansers. Then she does it. She may have not thought this through enough.
Personality: Alexis is an inconsistent kind of person, and she tends to think in extremes. Despite her "I don't care" attitude she is actually somewhat afraid of judgment. Not too afraid of judgement. She's overly exuberant, too the extent that she tends to drain the energy from other people. Makes bad jokes at people she likes. Snarks rudly at people she doesn't. Alexis doesn't have much of an idea about personal space, but she will respect your wishes about it if she likes you enough. If she doesn't, she will make you uncomfortable. Intentionally. She is a good liar , but prefers blunt honesty, and can be afraid to speak her mind sometimes, but only if its really personal. Pretty clingy. Forgetful, so she tends to use other memories to reference for something she forgot. If she gets in trouble or just hates you very much, she will shift into a stone cold,'you are beneath me' demeanor. She'll start speaking in clipped, short sentences like this, or just not speak at all. This also appiles to photos. Is angry at many people and gets angry easily. Is trying to fix this
Skills: Alexis isn't suited to the cleansers. She can't throw charges, believes in magic, and is doing nothing to build camaraderie with her fellow teammates. She does have an eye for precision, and she does have magic.
She has magic, but it is mostly wild and untrained, because there are no magic schools in Sweden, and her grandmother, who could have taught her, died soon after Alexis was born.

Skills: Alexis isn't suited to the cleansers. She can't throw charges, believes in magic, and is doing nothing to build camaraderie with her fellow teammates. She does have an eye for precision, and she does have magic. Its just she considers Voodoo overly complicated, and a waste of time and resources. It doesn't mean it she won't use it if she considers it necessary.
Wow, this is sophisticated (and rather dark) character analysis. A lot of us make the mistake of going way too Mary-Sue with our characters (I've been there, done that).
While this level of complexity and rich character detail will make for *great* interaction (I'm curious to see veves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veve) in action like Icelandic runes), I hope you don't think this harshly of yourself IRL.
OTOH, I don't use a cane IRL -- I just thought it would be an interesting character detail, and possibly reflective of how various IRL injuries could have handicapped me with Known World-level medical care. Nor have I been divorced and widowed; those are just cameo roles by IRL ex-boyfriends. The nicest one earned a heroic death in-story. ;)
ALSO:
Alexis, since both you and Sara (me) live in Mora, is it plausible that we would have met? I work evenings as a baby-sitter, after all, so I might have known you and your parents when younger. I'm sure the Voodoo belief system would interest Sara, who's curious about all kinds of Old World beliefs.

OTOH, I don't use a cane IRL -- I just thought it would be an interesting character detail, and possibly reflective of how various IRL injuries could have handicapped me with Known World-level medical care. Nor have I been divorced and widowed; those are just cameo roles by IRL ex-boyfriends. The nicest one earned a heroic death in-story. ;)
ALSO:
Alexis, since both you and Sara (me) live in Mora, is it plausible that we would have met? I work evenings as a baby-sitter, after all, so I might have known you and your parents when younger. I'm sure the Voodoo belief system would interest Sara, who's curious about all kinds of Old World beliefs.
I probably wouldn't have met your SI in Mora, my sisters were my baby-sitters. And no, I don't think of myself this negatively in real life, but my SI's baseline personality is me IRL, and the rest is " Who would I be in Y90?" (For instance, my sarcasm and disobedience is gone, and the lack of camaraderie is just something adapted from how my most of my classmates treat me. Me and my SI don't try to be anti-social, and she and I do have friends.) And the think in extremes is a Y0 attribute amplified into a Y90 one,because my SI is kinda sheltered .

Its fine! She doesn't like smiling for cameras, but she might have been wanting to make a good impression. Or she might be glaring at the camera. Either or, honestly.

Nope, I think your character is both mysterious and amusing. Yeah, his back story's a little over the top, but not in a way that makes *him* a Gary Stu. Unless, under that bandana, he looks like a young Harrison Ford. And he plays guitar like Eric Clapton, and he's as rich as Tony Stark...
I look forward to finding out what Strelock was doing in all those REDACTED episodes. Those spoiler tags will come in handy! :)

No he doesn't look like Harrison ford, he can play guitar but isn't that great at it, and no one's as rich as tony stark. As for his backstory. Most of the the unredacted portion is actually in the google drive post.
See what'll be interesting is if he ever gets his memory back.

A thank you for my character's imPineyation. Her character is spending another afternoon fleeing the rampant flames.

Hopefully Trond is not in charge of the operation. Odds are he will order Clara back to retrieve that expensive piece of equipment.

Yes, all the drawings of your insert so far have had different takes on that same deadpan expression. It's amusing.

Here's a bio as well:
History: She grew up with her parents and younger sisters in a small cottage in the woods nearby Mora. Both of her parents were academics working in Mora and owned a small private collection of books, which Sofie would spend her days flipping through. Seeing their daughter's amazement while looking through the books they decided to enter her into a school in Mora. The family eventually moved to her grandparent's farm and it quickly became evident that their oldest daughter was not suited for farm life, being allergic to the animals (and the hay they ate). Instead Sofie spent most of her time at home in the kitchen. With the encouragement of her parent's she moved to Mora when she turned 20, in order to continue her studies and pursue a career as a skald.
Personality: Is rather quiet and shy until someone talks to her, but when she has become comfortable with someone she get's talkative instead. She is quite emotional and easily starts crying, but she'll only show her tears to someone she's very close with. After spending most of her childhood caring for her younger sisters she has become slightly paranoid and will imagine all sorts of horrible outcomes if people don't come back when they said they should etc. Because of this she also have a very strong need to be in control and will get very frustrated if people don't collaborate or if something unexpected happens.

She'll probably have a neutral expression. She might have realized that joining the military is a bad idea, but she's gone too far to go back now.

Besides, I already have Unlos' lovely drawing, featuring me at the prettiest desk I've ever seen (hopefully strong enough to stand up to my wrapping my feet around its legs, as I often do) and something cute in my hair. (Is it a scarf? A snood? Anything like that would certainly work to restrain my mass of insanely fluffy hair.)
I'm glad you like it! What's a snood? (*googles*) No, it was just supposed to be a bun with a hair clip or hair comb, like the one SolarPoweredGirl gave you.

Hmm well, I didn't really include that much extra information, and I don't know whether it's the sort of thing that you are looking for :/ You could incude something about how she 'can be easily bribed with promises of pastries or other sweet foods', or that the rifle was a family heirloom (seeing that its age might affect how useful it could actually be, especially in stressfull environment - although I assume that it has been looked after very well!). The fact that she has a bit of skill in mage-craft might be worth mentioning, although it's not that useful in the long run, really ;)
If you are looking for more information/extra clarification, you can always reference my entry on the infodump (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.gacf9446b3_2_113) (surprise surprise...) :D

All the special notes? Ok,
Other stuff: Likes hats. Can do archery but is bad at it. curious. agrees with Lalli on the topic of cities. collects random objects from the silent world as well as interesting looking sticks, rocks and leaves for no apparent reason. Seems shy and quiet but is really just an introvert. Very perceptive. Usually sees trolls as poor suffering people rather than monsters (but has no problem with killing them). Doesn't easily get scared. Very go-with-the-flow.

I'm guessing it would probably be about being kinda stoopid, reckless, and not a fantastic team player, communicator or order follower, but despite all this all being very good at bashing trolls, also that there are instances where she'd been sent into buildings and the whole thing ends up falling down, although it couldn't be definitely proved that this was her fault! An official document would also probably note that she was actually literate in both Norwegian and Icelandic (although she would definitely deny this!), and maybe that she had some experience travelling to help out with the cleansers. Also, as I said before, she isn't proficient in firearms which would definitely place her at a disadvantage in many situations.
DancingRanger - looks like my poor neglected responsibilities are catching up with me so I might not actually be done by tuesday as I said I'd be :/ Here's a WIP anyway, and who knows, maybe I'll be super productive and get all my work done quickly. Should hopefully be done by the end of the week anyway :D I'll explain a bit more about my ideas when the thing is finished, but for now I'll just say that I decided to go along the Finnish mage route seeing as your 'sona was trained in both types of magic. The outfit is also a bit of a mix of the two, and will include the face paint, feathers and wheel (because awesome)

Camera is kinda broken, so I can't focus and the picture is crummy quality :/ but I hope you can still see what's going on!

Okay my mind likes playing with ideas. I am toying with the thought of totem animals for each crew member. I want any opinions, I'd like to only use each one once, so Dragon(western), and unicorn are taken.
What exactly is a totem animal?

Eurasian eagle-owl for me please? If I can have it? I love it so much, I love owls in general, I'd be happy just to have an owl but the Eurasian eagle-owl is the most best owl!

What exactly is a totem animal?when I hear it, I'm picturing the animals from the golden compass-series. Am I grabby if I want the lynx? (I have absolutely nothing in common with a lynx but I would love to have it anyway!) Alternatively, a crow.

Gwenno I just got home so I could upload this http://yoruhana-hitsugaya.deviantart.com/art/Art-Trade-The-Dragon-Roars-529376042?ga_submit_new=10%253A1430086325&ga_type=edit&ga_changes=1&ga_recent=1 if you want I can add a background, but for now I'm happy with it.
Also it looks awesome so far! (I understand the camera feels. )
I've already fangirled over this on Deviantart but I'll say it here again anyway because why not :3 - this is so totally awesome and I love it! Dunno if you decided on the dragon as totem animal because I'm Welsh, or because that's what your mage senses were telling you, but for whatever reason the dragon is exactly right ^_^ No need to add a background unless you particularly feel like it. I seem to be in a minority here where backgrounds are often my favourite parts of a picture to draw (such a weirdo I know…)
I'm wondering... could a kind-of-very-short-novel be a self-insert ? *Nervous smile*The fact is I fear I won't do anything else with that character but she won't let me in peace before I take her out of my mind....
Everyone is creative in different ways :) If your self insert wants to exist as a novel then that's perfectly fine, and really, some of these 'sonas can be phenomenally bossy they just do as they please and you'd end up with that story regardless
Also *ppppphht* troll dancing :P I really hope this becomes a thing…. actually, if anyone knows of caramelldansen THIS is something I would love to see some of the 'sonas doing (also the real SSSS crew…. and just everyone in general. I sometimes feel unhealthily addicted to that dance)
....Who if I may ask is the dragon? Also greedy dragon or wrathful dragon?
The dragon is MEEEEEEEE! The Welsh have an understanding with dragons in our stories, they can be either good or bad, but the red dragon symbolises our people, and so we adopted it as our national animal ^_^ (my 'sona is Norwegian, but any excuse to have a dragon right!) Anyway, might post the most famous story in the global mythology thread actually seeing as it's pretty nice and everyone likes dragon stories :D

I am rather fond of great horned owls, especially after bumping into one when I was back into University. Walking back to the bus stop, there was just this big owl in the middle of the road. We made eye contact and I kept going. It went into a bush to hunt or something. I was a bit surprised to just find an owl messing about on the ground, but it didn't seem injured or anything so I didn't push my luck.
Super cool! I thought Great Horned for you, I think they have that same unimpressed expression. I had a run in with a possible Red-tailed hawk(I couldn't get a good look at it people were gawking at it) on my college's campus, he'd just caught a squirrel. It was cool, but I had to get to class.

And dang - that's even better. Speedy hunters are so hard to catch a glimpse of. Too bad there was a crowd. :/

So the short story bit I'm working on involves a cafeteria, Strelok getting smashed in the back of the head with a steel food tray and a trainee basically taking out his emotions on Strelok about how the trainee's older brother not coming back from some mission while the wildling outlander did and how it's not fair, and more or less blaming Strelok for his brother not making it back as though it were his fault.
If anyone wants to be involved in this story make your voice known, additionally how would your character react to any of the mentioned events?

Um, my character would probably retreat into a far corner and not get directly involved. That's probably not the kind of reaction you were looking for though :-\. Perhaps she would quietly attempt to do a spell from the corner that would make the trainee calm down a little or melt the food tray so it can cause no further harm or something. Is that helpful to the story?

oh, good, because I didn't exactly ask for permission before I gracefully threw your troll down the stairs
(also puffins are great. I saw puffins when we were on Iceland and they are so beautifully ridiculous, hopping off cliffs and flapping their teeny tiny wings...)
nobody has asked whose the unicorn totem is yet, but I think it's pretty obvious it's mine ehehehehe.... If I had to pick a "real" animal it would probably have been a sparrow or something.

Hahah yes, the accordion shape probably works as a shock absorber. :D

I loved every moment of that no worries. ;D
(Oh yes, they have to flap quite hard because they're not exactly aerodynamic in shape. The best part is when they land in water, flip their feet up, go in butt-first, submerge because when I say land in water I mean more like fall in a half-controlled way, and then after a while they plop up like a cork.)(Puffins!)

Okay my mind likes playing with ideas. I am toying with the thought of totem animals for each crew member. I want any opinions, I'd like to only use each one once, so Dragon(western), and unicorn are taken.This sounds awesome! :D I kind of want to say eastern dragon, but it totally does not suit me, so I'd say a seal for me x)
when I hear it, I'm picturing the animals from the golden compass-series.Gosh, I love His Dark Materials!! <3 So much feels though ;n;

This thing has been going so fast recently, I can hardly keep up. :-[Wow I'm barely on ever, but I would be totally thrilled if you drew me!
ALSO Considering my own self-insert is a medic, I think I'd like to try my hand at drawing the rest of the medics (as a group maybe?)! As long as I receive permission from you folks with medic self-inserts of course.

Oh my that was HILARIOUS! Please never stop drawing.
I'm going to make some request of y'all oc's with my oc, only I need y'all permission
Sorry for not answering that one, I just didn't really understand what you meant. But feel free to use my OC, if you like. And I'm happy to do an art trade with you, too, if you still want one. A drawing of my self-insert is perfectly fine.
@Mad Robin: Funny, well drawn and spot on!
@Daea Reina: I really like the expressive faces. Also, nice job on the hands.
The daïmons ? (Was it this name in english ?) Which reader had not dream of his/her own ? :)Yes, it was daïmons in english as well. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want one :)

I love it! I didn't even notice there was a problem with the glasses. I'll work on yours this weekend. :)And I hate having to correct people but my hair is longer than that>_>

Huh, that's weird. In my edition (English, of course) it's written 'dæmon'. I love this series by the way, it was (and still is) one of my favourites :)
Oh and btw - I've chosen the (European) hare as my totem pole/spirit animal thing, so if anyone wants to use the arctic fox, that option is still available! ^^ The hare just seems quite fitting for my character... although maybe not so much with the whole reproduction/fertility association in Anglo-Saxon paganism, but shhhhhh

Nono, you were probably right - Unlos confirmed as well. Maybe it's the different editions? I'm not sure why you would change the spelling, but it could just be a question of aesthetic appeal or something. I may have to look into this

But some editions in other languages have "daimon"...I don't know why it interests me so much, but there you go
*Think about what could be her animal totem even if she hasn't a "real self-insert" right now*
Post by: Vafhudr on April 28, 2015, 02:01:48 PM
For instance, for both of us, since we have a background in the French language, we can read daimon as "dèmon" - the 'ai' sound, as opposed to how it would pronounced in English: aie, as is die or pie. So daimon would read phonetically as diemon, which is a bit of a distortion.

@Khali and dancingranger: Additional note regarding the short I'm working on Strelok is very fresh face around base, the people that know why he's there and what happened on the expedition that he was conscripted on basically can't say why, however it somehow got out that he's a "wildling" of some kind, which until I ask in the comments on one of the posts and hope Minna responds, I will presume a person who was living out in the silent world/outside the known world is considered a bit of a bad omen. So there's kinda of a bit of distrust about him and it's sort of the culmination of opinions being voiced when the kid starts trying to beat Strelok's head in with a food tray in the messhall.In that case I would step in. There would be magic crackling. (My S'ona was raised with stories of his people's real home. Strelok would be seen as a hope that it's possible that the is a chance that others have made it) it wouldn't win me any friends, but then again I'd been made to take a name they gave me.

Ok. I had actually planned for my character to generally live outside the safe-zone (or be a "wildling" as you call it) too, because she has a case of wanderlust. She wouldn't see anything weird or suspicious about Strelok at all. She'd probably even have a sense of kinship with him because they have this in common, and definitely side with him if a fight ensued. She may have even seen him before in the silent world, although she mostly sticks to the forests, avoiding the troll- infested cities. Her presence at the base where your story is taking place is by no means permanent, she'd just be stopping by for a night or two to get supplies you can't find in the forest. I'm going to go add some of this to her profile thingy now.

That's lovely! All those little details -- the flying hair, glasses slightly askew, sparking explosive (or whatever scary thing Clara's carrying), the ballerina-like posture combined with the unnerved expression -- wow!
It looks very Pixar-esque. I mean that as a compliment; I could totally see this drawing in, say, "The Art of 'The Incredibles'" as an in-story illustration of some other Super. Uniform by Edna Mode: "White, darling, it's all the colors in one. Special stain- and smoke-resistant coating on the snowsuit. And as always, NO CAPES!"

I think you did a wonderful job with the emotion in this one! She looks as if she's trying to be intimitating with her grenade-thingy (lol what is it called?), but her posture with the raised arm and her slightly leaning back suggests that she is frightened. (The facial expression too of course, but I think whatever she's dealing with probably wouldn't focus on that)

Two things I really like: The expressiveness and the way you combine so much detail with a smooth watercolour-ish style. It's like... impressionistic (not that I know anything at all about actual art theory).

Yes, sorry for any confusion. I still need to go back and change pronouns in all my past posts to they/them/their (initially I had they/them, but then I chickened out and just put female ones on here because I didn't know how accepting this forum was at that point :P)
Post by: Solokov on April 29, 2015, 06:33:58 PM
Will that work?
Post by: Curry on April 29, 2015, 06:53:21 PM
I'll see what I can do to fit that request. Since the dossiers would be based off official documentation I'm thinking that it's written with gender specific pronouns, and then edited by someone other than the skald who initially wrote the dossier (basically distinctly different font with the original pronouns crossed out) to insert gender neutral language.
Will that work?
hhh I'm sorry but I'd really rather have the gender-neutral pronouns if it's not too much trouble? If you're uncomfortable with it, you don't have to make the dossier :0 I'm just. really not comfortable /w girl these days ahaha
Post by: Solokov on April 29, 2015, 07:43:32 PM
While I want to respect your request (not uncomfortable with it, mostly uncomfortable with not being able to meet the request), at the same time I'm trying to keep a similar theme of the skald having used files from official sources for the basic dossier in blue ink, and then asked people that knew them for details resulting in the red notes, which is why I was thinking a compromise where the dossier was done standard and then Karri got a'hold of it and did some editing.
Not sure where to go though since that idea got shot down.

OHHHhhh!! I'm sorry, that would be totally fine! I didn't understand the first question :) Sorry for the conflict.

Also any particular way they might respond to a camera?
Post by: Curry on April 29, 2015, 09:13:03 PM
Additionally I'll fire off a copy of Karri's dossier to you over a pm for overview beforehand.
Also any particular way they might respond to a camera?
Thank you! And very wide smile, probably some dumb hand gesture, like the peace/victory sign in my icon or 'framing' their face (http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/framed-face-2276514.jpg) or idk whatever that rock on gesture is? Camera's don't scare them and they are. very enthusiastic ahahaha (in other notes, what even is the face that model is making in that picture)

). Anyway, standing still and staying silent probably won't work at this point so he runs away. He asks for help from the spirits of the forest to slow down the beast *insert awesome chant/runo here*, which are represented by the strange person-ish figure in the left-most tree as well as some vague face-ish shapes in the other trees. They wake up, and extend branches to make it more difficult for the beast to pass. Matthew/Sequyah also creates a wind, using the sparrow-spirit as a medium for his power (at least I'm guessing that's what the bird spirit in the original picture was). Wind would probably happen a few seconds after this picture I guess…. I'm basically thinking that while Lalli's magic is cat-shaped, other mages may have other shapes. May be proved wrong however, but meh. Post by: mad robin on April 30, 2015, 12:10:45 PM

The karri has been on the oven for a while (I said I would draw them but the struggle has been real) and I think it's done. I wanted to do an experiment so there's actually two versions of the same picture, monotone and the same old paintaroo.

Love them both! I've taken a while trying to think which one I like better but that's a futile job. On one hand the monochrome one is stylish and simple, but the colour one is nicely balanced and that flame thrower is so shiny (and now I wish I could one day get on this level of weapon-drawing)...

And to the rest of you, I got a big silly grin on my face when I read your comments liking the vErY hELpfUl tRoLL.

Heh, oops ::) well that teaches me to make assumptions doesn't it! I'm glad you were okay with the bird anyway :)
While my 'sona is all for tall tales, she doesn't really work in the realm of magic or fire so I doubt she'd be involved in that one. Seems like more of a cleansers/mage thing really
Gwenno: that is really good!!! I love the way you did the foresty setting and the creepy creatures
Thank you ^_^ Forests are my favourite thing to draw, but they're so difficult and I never really manage to capture them as I'd like, but I'm still really glad you like it :) (heheh, my sketchbook now has a fair amount of pages dedicated to creepy boar skeletons and various forest creature designs as well - had a tiiiny bit too much fun designing those)

Beautiful, Gwenno! You say disturbung boar-beast? I say disturbing Vætte or what is that?! in the birch tree.
Ah, I'm so sorry!!!!! I didn't see this, and replied to all the rest and now I feel bad because you said a nice thing and it looked like I was ignoring it, but I really wasn't, and I'm so sorry >"< (and thank you for saying a nice thing as well!)
The figure in the birch tree is supposed to represent a tree spirit, so not good or bad per-se, just rather indifferent most of the time to the quick passing of animals (*hint*except for when someone uses the proper runo chant). I guess it could be kinda disturbing, but my favourite fairy book as a child was filled with creatures like this who were pretty freaky-looking so it doesn't really register much for me nowadays ^_^
Gwenno yeah, it is perfectly fine, as he'd work magic using his totem as well, which is a bird (I haven't nailed down which yet). And the ficlett is telling stories over a campfire. I was still a little bit too just woke up when I was typing.
Heh, well I wasn't planning on changing anything in the picture anyway (watercolours ya know, just don't deal well with painting over :P ) so I'm glad having the magic channeled though a bird totem is a thing and not far off!
Campfire stories sound within the realm of happening ^_^ As I said before, my 'sona is all tall tales and exaggerations, possibly also trying to scare people, but she also loves hearing stories, and would defo listen assuming the story is interesting enough and has enough bashing

Hah, I was kinda worried to click the link, thinking what kind of book could result in such a temperament, and it really wasn't too bad. I can see how that could inspire you ^_^ it looks like a most awesome book!
Post by: Almond-Goddess on May 01, 2015, 12:18:49 AM
It looks absolutely beautiful!!! :O (Once again I really really wish I had the time to do art trades)
Thanks! As I mentioned before, just shoot me a note when you get time for a trade. (:
Your work is so incredibly beautiful!
I think you did a wonderful job with the emotion in this one! She looks as if she's trying to be intimidating with her grenade-thingy (lol what is it called?), but her posture with the raised arm and her slightly leaning back suggests that she is frightened. (The facial expression too of course, but I think whatever she's dealing with probably wouldn't focus on that)
I hereby declare myself your fan, that's just pure brilliance! Everything's perfect from the pose to the nervous expression and oh my the sparks! The cobblestones.
I put a lot of thought in Piney's expression and pose and the smoke/cobblestones/sparks and I'm really happy that you noticed it!
Yup, that's Piney alright :D
Two things I really like: The expressiveness and the way you combine so much detail with a smooth watercolour-ish style. It's like... impressionistic (not that I know anything at all about actual art theory).
Thank you! The watercolor style is greatly assisted by Kyle Webster's brushes (https://gumroad.com/kyletwebster). They're fairly inexpensive considering how much mileage you can get out of it, and I highly recommend purchasing a set or two.
I suppose it's loose-ish in an impressionistic sense. It's been nearly half a decade since I last brushed up on art history, so don't worry about not knowing about it. ^_^
Did I told you before "I love your drawings" ?
Well, I love your drawings.
Aww, thank you. <3
EEEEE IT'S PERFECTTTT THANK YOU
I especially adore the look on her face and the windy effect. Also the askew glasses - my glasses already are really loose and kinda do that IRL so that's spot-on ;D
Yaaay thank you for liking it! Nervous facial expression + wind-fluffed hair + crooked glasses are the best!
I love your drawings! You are an inspiration!
Almond-Goddess, you continue to inspire and impress! I agree with Unlos. You're so talented and I hope to someday have such a grasp over digital art and color and EVERYTHING ahhhhh
Aww, thanks! *blushes*

Haiz, these are incredible!
What I particularly like is how you capture a wide range of face structures, eye shapes, expressions, etc., even within the constraints of your (very pretty) sketching style.
Even some well-established cartoonists fall into a rut of giving all their people more or less the same face (cf. Gary Trudeau, author of the award-winning "Doonesbury," with his trademark pointy noses and circles under the eyes). So when you can depict all of us (mostly female, mostly Caucasian, and the majority ages 15 to 25) so differently -- kudos!
Have you ever considered a part-time job as a caricature artist (https://www.gigsalad.com/Variety/Caricaturist)? I don't know if it's a thing in Norway, but at parties, fairs, and resort areas it's common to have someone drawing cute cartoons of attendees -- either hired by the hosts or running their own little business.
Piney, you too -- and quite a few other artists on this thread. (Of course, I have no idea what a business license, taxes, etc. would entail...)

Hellooo do you remember when I made inky-wonky headshots of all the current OCs wayyy back on page 13 of this thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg25326#msg25326)?
I may not be able to keep my promise of drawing everyone for all of the future
BUT I CAN STILL TRY
inky-wonky headshots, ROUND 2

My apologies to
- anyone I didn't get quite right look-wise (particularly those with darker skin, I'm so sorry :c)
- victims of slight inking mishaps
- anyone I might have missed (PLEASE TELL ME IF I DID)
but otherwise, enjoy!
Don't feel obligated to draw me back, gods know I've been drawn enough as is - SPEAKING OF. Several of you have in fact drawn me already, I'm especially talking about you who drew my OC fullbody and some even in colour:
Noodly, Gwenno, Vafhudr, Oh Deer, SolarPoweredGirl (.....as a cat....), frenci, BarbaryLion22, and Laufey are the names I wrote down but I might have missed someone.
QUESTION: do you want to make it into a proper art trade? I don't feel like my quick headshots are really worthy the art you have made of me, so I'm more than willing to make some Extra Effortsy art of you guys. (Well, I've drawn Laufeytroll a few times so I guess you're good, but still)
as for art trades in general, I'm opening up shop again!! Unlos is up next, and I will probably message Piney and RedCloud pretty soon!! But if anyone else wants one, attempt contact and I will gladly neglect responsibilities for your sake!
Yesssssssss. I like Alexis' expression most of all? IRL I am always instigating fights so the "FIGHT ME" expression fits.(and she is smirking which also fits)

I am game, though I feel a bit bad for kind of putting in you in that situation. It was not my intention to initiate a reciprocation escalation - so yes, let's make it a formal art trade.

It is so much fun to watch the different sssonas being recognizable in the respective artists style. And hurra, art trade! I'm working on yours, trying to understand anatomy (and expressions! What I've done most, have been self-portraits with pencil, so cartoon-style and poses is not internalized, to say the least) and photoshop better. And it's fun, I'm looking forward to getting it finished!

Some names seem to be very popular. There's Marja, Marie, Marie, another Clara (and a Lara).

Cries because ohmigosh it's meee (or my character I guess) ;_; She definitely looks like she's planning something... I wonder what it is. That sneaky side-glance is actually something I do quite often... how did you know? ;)ahahha I didn't mean to make your smile so smirky, that was one of the slight inking mishaps I mentioned.... but I'm glad it fits after all! You're welcomee
Haiz, these are incredible!Aahhh thank you!! I'm actually surprised people find I've drawn them so diverse, because it doesn't feel that way to me? But oh, I do like character design diversity so SUCCESS.
What I particularly like is how you capture a wide range of face structures, eye shapes, expressions, etc., even within the constraints of your (very pretty) sketching style.
Even some well-established cartoonists fall into a rut of giving all their people more or less the same face (cf. Gary Trudeau, author of the award-winning "Doonesbury," with his trademark pointy noses and circles under the eyes). So when you can depict all of us (mostly female, mostly Caucasian, and the majority ages 15 to 25) so differently -- kudos!
Have you ever considered a part-time job as a caricature artist (https://www.gigsalad.com/Variety/Caricaturist)? I don't know if it's a thing in Norway, but at parties, fairs, and resort areas it's common to have someone drawing cute cartoons of attendees -- either hired by the hosts or running their own little business.
HMMMM i really doubt I would get a job as a caricature artist, I think they mostly work in the newspaper business, but that would be a pretty fun job..... problem with Norway is that with a population this small, the need for fancy fun jobs is much smaller than other places, I guess. MAYBE. i dont know i'm kind of in a ditch when it comes to jobs and future talk ahahahaha ha ha
EDIT: my dream job would be working with cartoons or concept art/character designs so I FEEL LIKE I HAVE POTENTIAL HERE, but i probably will have to move outta norway to have any opportunity for that kinda thing.....
I feel like I'm just repeating everyone else but yeah, you've got a great touch for different face types! Also yes I'm good (although obvy I'll never say no to more, eh, Laufey-trolling or you know any art by you), no worries. ;DAhh thanks!! And don't worry, I'm sure I will come around to throw good ol' accordion noise down some stairs again, or other hilarious accidents that might befall it......... hee hee
Yesssssssss. I like Alexis' expression most of all? IRL I am always instigating fights so the "FIGHT ME" expression fits.(and she is smirking which also fits)Ahahah yayy!!! I'm quite pleased with how Alexis' expression turned out. I think your username "KicknRun" gave me a good hint as to what kind of expression would grace your countenance
I am game, though I feel a bit bad for kind of putting in you in that situation. It was not my intention to initiate a reciprocation escalation - so yes, let's make it a formal art trade.AHhh don't worry, I kind of already wanted to draw your 'sona in full figure spear and all, so SUCCESS

I hear ya. The market for full-time, professional cartoonists/caricature artists isn't much better in the U.S. I just meant as a part-time gig, kind of like musicians busking.
In the Wealthy Quasi-Socialist Paradise Known As Norway, would it be possible for you, some nice summer holiday weekend, to just set up an easel and chair on a well-frequented boardwalk with a poster: "SKETCHES WHILE-U-WAIT. 80 Kr/one person; 100 Kr/couple"? Your drawings here would actually make good work samples, especially if you could convince a couple of us to share photos that shoppers could compare with your sketches.
Or would the Norwegian government swoop down and demand that you incorporate as a business, file a tax statement, pay 1,000 Kr for a business license, or what-have-you? (Imagines Haiz as a hit-and-run pirate sketch artist in a burglar's mask, with lookout around the corner making hand signals, "Scram, it's the cops!!!")

(I have so many nibs but I only really use one or two of them. Most often the weird curved one currently attached to the pen,, I don't even know where they can be bought. It was among mom's bought-super-cheaply-in-communist-czechoslovakia stash, like the majority of art supplies I use.....)

Ok wow I'm sounding awfully elitist here. bold words from someone who can't get a summer job......

I've actually never ever seen a caricature artist on the streets of Trondheim (it's a tourist city but not tourist enough for that), and besides, I would have to compete with our beggars and street musicians for the spots..... There are probably some street artists over in Oslo, but I'd probably have much better luck in, say, Prague.
nooooo don't ask me about law and economy stuff or adult words like "tax" or "license" I'll just start crying because I literally don't know how any of these things work
Edit: not sure what you mean by "quasi-socialist". are you implying we're not bordering on communism as some countries would have you believe

Oh. Ooops. Didn't realize you 1) already knew about street caricature artists and 2) felt "instinctive contempt" for "tourist kitsch." Yeah, it is kitsch, I suppose. OTOH, it's authentic artwork, and it makes people happy by helping them capture a moment. And it helps you by bringing in money via your artistic skills (as opposed to, say, scooping ice cream).
Also, I didn't mean to scare you by mentioning permits and the like. I used to be a newspaper reporter covering local government and business (among other things) so it's a casual question for me.
BTW, 5 minutes' search on Google got me the legal requirements for street performers/artists throughout the U.S. If I knew how to say "regulations affecting street performers" in Norwegian, I'd have an answer for you. If you ever actually wanted one. (See how accurate my self-insert is? ;) "More information than you require.")

So my friend Grace is making a D&D campaign based off of Stand, Still, Stay, Silent...she is going really in depth with it, she's planning to have 60+ pages to the manual...
Interesting.
To spare her from re-inventing the wheel, has she read either of these threads?

(I WOULD HAPPILY ACCEPT ICE CREAM SCOOP JOB THOUGH. There are just. incredibly few ice cream scoopy places in norway. they are here but very very very few compared to about every other country I've ever been to - which is. the majority of europe. ha ha ha)

I'd definitely be up for a proper art trade whenever you feel you have the time however ^_^ I'd draw your 'sona properly for that one!
Also, I feel you should be warned that the ice-cream scoop job is a killer on your wrists so beware! (You eventually get huge muscles however, so not all bad….)
It looks awesome! I really like how you did the spell and the tree spirit! The coloring of the rock and moss is really pretty! :D
;D Thank you! All the kind things people are saying are making me really happy ^_^

Speaking of art trades, maybe I could write short stories/scenes with people's ocs in exchange for visual art stuff? I do want to get back into daily writing or at least writing something most days. I figure, around 1000 words a story. Definitely not under 500 for sure, but i'm not certain how much over 1000 i would go. Also, info for personality would be nice and it would be easier if I can use my own character for them to interact with or them alone. If multiple people would want a story together we could work it out, i'm sure. Any thoughts?
I'm game! Heck I'm up for art trades, art-fiction trades, of fiction trades. Pm me if your interested.

My apologies to
- anyone I didn't get quite right look-wise (particularly those with darker skin, I'm so sorry :c)
- victims of slight inking mishaps
- anyone I might have missed (PLEASE TELL ME IF I DID)
but otherwise, enjoy!
Don't feel obligated to draw me back, gods know I've been drawn enough as is - SPEAKING OF. Several of you have in fact drawn me already, I'm especially talking about you who drew my OC fullbody and some even in colour:
Noodly, Gwenno, Vafhudr, Oh Deer, SolarPoweredGirl (.....as a cat....), frenci, BarbaryLion22, and Laufey are the names I wrote down but I might have missed someone.
QUESTION: do you want to make it into a proper art trade? I don't feel like my quick headshots are really worthy the art you have made of me, so I'm more than willing to make some Extra Effortsy art of you guys. (Well, I've drawn Laufeytroll a few times so I guess you're good, but still)
as for art trades in general, I'm opening up shop again!! Unlos is up next, and I will probably message Piney and RedCloud pretty soon!! But if anyone else wants one, attempt contact and I will gladly neglect responsibilities for your sake!
these are so great!

I resisted, but the mighty power of Windfighter and Lars_B's evil enabling have caused me to create a character. Basically me, but different. Janni Tähtivaara, Finnish skald/mage. She lives in Mora currently. I figure she is from Keuruu, but then moved to Mora for further studies. I believe she is into biology, specifically with animals, and has a strong interest in feline communication. I have her in Finnish and Swedish clothes, since she probably needs to blend in a bit more when living there, but keeps her Finnish clothes (and kantele and puukko) for field wear.

That's pretty darn neat! The Swedish versions makes me think of a younger, less gloomy version of Siv.

That's cool! Is it the yoga Tree Pose? In some religious/spiritual traditions body poses are important conduits for calling on particular powers/moods, so I could see a creative seiđr practitioner like Haiz trying yoga (or the Icelandic-pagan equivalent).

And, yes it is, is a yoga pose. I think, like you said, it's the tree. I have to ask my mother because she practices reiki and it's pretty similar to yoga.
Also, because she's a mage, she probably would do that (at least, that's what I think).

Amorphous blobs are the only correct answer to the evil of hands. Only problem is, with enough time, we'd start automatically over-analyzing those blobs, and would have to figure out how to make them "look right"... seeing something so often makes it absurdly hard to draw, strangely.

pretty but impossible to decipher.*raises hand* me.
Unless I'm trying really hard, my handwriting devolves into this half-cursive mess, with all kinds of weird swirls and things sticking out. I should post a picture of my notes somewhere on here at some point, it's kinda ridiculous.

I just went through the infodump and saw something that needed correction. Ilmari is a scout by trade. I realize that I didn't put that in the original bio I wrote up, and just went into things he was interested in, so he got put down as a cook.
Fixed! Thank you for pointing that out :)
Post by: Unlos on May 04, 2015, 03:22:46 PM
Thanks you, everyone! When asking what Unlos' OC could possibly have as a weapon, this is what she sent me (http://www.gardenliving.no/products/epleplukker)
And it is so cool! I've actually never used one, and hadn't put too much thought into my SSSSona until the art-trading started. But now Unlos (Or Una, which is my actual name) has developed into an apple-picking farmer, skald on the side.
Here are some more headshots (I don't promise to draw everyone, but I'm working my way from W so maybe I'll make it? Drawing/redrawing people are good practice!). of wavewright and Vafhudr.
(http://i.imgur.com/xX7470I.png?1)(http://i.imgur.com/uYTYWaN.png?1)
Lastly, some of you have given me permission to pin their art onto this (https://www.pinterest.com/Unlos/stand-still-stay-silent-ssss-self-inserts/) pinterest board (here's (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=415.0) the thread for it), I'd love to have the rest of you guys there as well!

I can pretend that in the SSSS-verse where there is no internet, I would procrastinate by actually practicing my norwegian folk music.

Shane Lou
Age...21
Nationality...Canadian
Area of Birth...(idk?)Somewhere in Cape Breton
Gender...Female
Immunity...Yes
Profession...Scout
Languages...English, French, Gaelic (didn't feel like getting the tiny flags xP, also, this is not a reflection of my irl skills, I just think this would be true given the situation/area SSSS me grew up in)
Other Stuff:
--has some magical/spiritual ability, enough to know when something's up but not enough to warrant any training in the Canadian version of Magecreft
--has terrible eyesight, but wonderful hearing. Wears prescription goggles when out scouting, allows the world to blur and herself to run into other objects when in safer areas, relying mostly on scent and sound.
--has raised Jabberwocky since kitten-hood, and paid for her training. They are inseparable.
--was being moved from a military installation in Nova Scotia to an outpost in Newfoundland when her ship was blown off-course and she was ship-wrecked (that's how Haiz and I discussed SSSS-me getting to the land of post-apocalyptic vikings)
--cannot speak a word of any Scandinavian language, so communication is often...interesting
--enjoys people, but often disappears for hours to have some 'alone-time' and recharge her 'social-interaction-tank'
--enjoyed reading while back home, and managed to find quite a few books on vikings and Norse mythology. Doesn't quite understand where she was ship-wrecked, but has managed to put together her own exciting conclusions. "Omigosh you're all VIKINGS THAT IS SOOOOOOO COOL!!!" (lmao SSSS-me needs to learn how to speak the language/languages so she can be a little less ignorant xD)
--has a tendency to babble nervously/enthusiastically and act like a child one minute, then turn around and be quiet/shy and sometimes downright grumpy the next. Especially if she's been teased. She doesn't always know when she's being teased, so it tends to bug her and she'll pout for hours.
...that's all I can remember xD Everyone else had done a bio in the posts I've been reading through so I figured I might as well, now that I'm back xP

So here's me.
Nationality: Norwegian
Interview with Trond goes something like this:
T: Soo have you had any experience yet?
Me: I'm really good at standing still and staying silent
T: But have you actually done anything?
Me: I've listened to all the storys from the other teams, shouldn't that coun't for something? And I really want that vacation?
T: Hmm, nno. Sorry Lady, we'll stick with our most best Captain Eide for now.
EDIT: I haven't put in age and profession. Hmm. I guess I would be a combined farmer/skald. Age 34, since it somehow fells like cheating to make a persona younger than my actual age. Apple farmer, maybe?
Did you change it at any time since then? Because if not, I will be using this for my template as I fulfill my part.
Post by: Unlos on May 05, 2015, 04:04:51 PM
Okay. So. Unlos. I scoured the the thread and this is what I found for your character submission.
Did you change it at any time since then? Because if not, I will be using this for my template as I fulfill my part.
Ehm I worked on an update actually:
(http://i.imgur.com/hn8Z6nH.png?1)
As for the rest: Apple farmer, with an apple picker (I don't know if they are actually practical, but I liked the idea) for a weapon. Also adept at throwing apples and making cider, and legging it downhill in case she meets anything too big to whack.
Age: 34
Nationality: Norwegian. Speak norwegian, read slowly. Thinks icelandic looks sorta familiar but don't actually understand a word.
Probably from Gloppen in Nordfjord, since that is an area I have a slight claim on through my grandparents, and Oslo would land me right smack in the middle of troll-country.
Look-wise: Both of these are attempts at self-portraits, one where hair has met a brush, and one where it hasn't. I've put my SSSSona in the team uniform although she never made it to the team. I dont't have a good explanation for that one, except I like the uniform.. And name: Una, since it seems to be a trend to use actual names for our SSSSonas.

Alright alrighty. I was not following closely the newest developments.
This makes my task much easier.
Apple picker? I was sure that was an odd lacrosse stick. Nevertheless.

Ehm I worked on an update actually:I really want to see her chasing a troll with her apple picker and flinging apples at it xD
(http://i.imgur.com/hn8Z6nH.png?1)
As for the rest: Apple farmer, with an apple picker (I don't know if they are actually practical, but I liked the idea) for a weapon. Also adept at throwing apples and making cider, and legging it downhill in case she meets anything too big to whack.

That is lovely, Haiz! Obviously a very adviceable idea. Great expression, great coloring and beautiful work on the brooch! All that tiny shadowing..Thank you!! THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE BROOCH i cannot believe i actually decided to draw it at all, I picked up my irl brooch and thought "how hard can it be" and the answer is VERY HARD. ART ADVICE: DO NOT DRAW DECORATIVE KNOTWORK. i ended up cheating a little, but if any of you notice I will personally shake your hand and congratulate you on your decorative knotwork observation abilities
You don't know how much I love this kind of hair. I think they're cool heheahah thanks, this is the Ideal of how I want my hair to look actually..... it was getting a little odd to draw myself/see drawings of 'me' with blonde hair
Also, that story thoTotally me in some assignatures in my school probably (?)

Post by: Haiz on May 06, 2015, 04:57:18 PM
ANd actually, you still look awesome with blond hair but eh, it's your choice ^^Well, to be fair I've drawn myself with a prettier blonde colour than I actually have - not on purpose, but because I literally forgot what my real hair colour looked like. HAHA WOOPS. Turns out it's actually some kinda awful dark-grey-blonde.
But it's more about my absolute obsession with colours (i showed up in black/grey clothes at school once and everyone freaked out), I started dying colourful stripes into my hair when I was like, seven or something? and it just escalated from there. it was a harsh realization that they might not have colourful dyes in post-rash scandinavia......... and since my history of haircuts and -colours is just a bunch of experiments, it's only reasonable to think my year 90 self would blast hir hair full of colour magic at every opportunity ehe he

I also don't really like the cold, but if I have to do something you can bet I'll do it. I would embrace the more savage side of life relatively quickly and a shovel, (seen here) would be my tool/weapon.
Most the people here have definitely cultivated their art skills to a higher degree than I have, but, I draw power from my own inadequacy!! I see what you all are doing and I say (I think it, I'm not crazy, yet) "I wanna be able to art that well!" So I thank you all for providing me with a view on how far I have yet to go.

I was a bit intimidated about sketching her, since her SSSSona is so well drawn, with beautiful lineart and smooth colors, it strikes me as so professional! So I tried a redraw that doesn't really do it justice, and a more realistic sketch. Not too pleased with the hair, have you hair-drawing people some tips (other than observation and practice, which are the best advice, of course)

In all seriousness, though, this looks great! I admire your ability to replicate styles so well! :D Hmmm, how to hair... Flowy lines on long hair are really pretty (I say, as I insert curly-qs and swirls everywhere) and you seem to have a really good handle on that! Your linework is very pretty and your shading looks good too, but maybe use a sharper-edged brush on the hair to better illustrate the texture :)

(it's my magesona so it's still on topic ahaha ha yes very clever)
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH. um. how do I draw hair. I use firealpaca which is similar to SAI, and I switch between the watercolour and pen (with lowered opacity O:) tools, and then make LOTSA SWOOSH LIKE JUNGLE RIVER
and uh. vary thickness of the strokes?? shadowings?? IDK REALLY i draw hair so intuitively

FWOOSH
*i'm dying*
But seriously, I just draw a lot of lines, looking carefully where it starts and where it ends and trying to figure things as I draw (volume, waves, etc). Maybe look at some reference pictures?

Right now I have:
Walk Off the Earth--Rule the World
Woodkid--Conquest of Spaces
Alan Doyle--I've Seen a Little ( I swear, the chorus of this one always gets stuck in my head when I think of the self-insert gang--if our self-inserts were in an adventure/comedy cartoon, the chorus of this would totally be the opening song xD)
Julie Fowlis--Touch the Sky
Jonsi--Where No One Goes (couldn't resist)
whoops, just noticed there is an actual thread for SSSS music, my bad! xD
moving on---here is a small doodle I did while at Tim Horton's
I only had a small notebook full of graph paper, two pens (black and blue) and two or three coloured pencils on me, so its not the best quality, but seeing as its a doodle of someone else (Haiz) I thought I should still share xP

Everybody go read Mélusine's fantastic short story because it's written really really well and her character has a really interesting story! 11/10, I recommend much for a well-developed character and IT'S JUST REALLY COOL GO READ IT
Piney that's a really cute draw and I like her backstory! A link has been added to your slide on the infodump (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit?usp=sharing) • v •

I was reading the infodump and I realized I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE. I said that Día spoke Icelandic and Brazilian. Brazilian?!! BRAZILIAN???? What was I thinking??? She speaks Portuguese! There's no "brazilian" language. I was capable of getting my own language wrong. Who am I.

She speaks Portuguese! There's no "brazilian" language.FWIW, as far as I'm familiar with (European) language teaching, the institutions will differentiate between "Portuguese" and "Brazilian Portuguese" even before they feel it necessary to split English into any regional variants. Considering how far the Portuguese spread across Europe in search of jobs, clarifying that you're speaking Brazilian Portuguese might be sensible for a self-insert into the post-Rash sorry remains of Europe.

Of course, I have about several cubic feet of fluffy, frizzy hair, so multiple colors might look more scary than cute on me. :o

So. I took some... liberties with your character. I flagged when it came to make your character fight with your apple picker. So I gave up.
Instead I have you enjoying more peaceful days in your small corner of post-apocalyptic Arcadia. The fact that I kind of got carried away with the background might be able to obscure the fact that my current skills made it hard for me to give you a distinctive face and or dynamic pose. So you get the generic Vaf-face.

Trees are hell hard to draw so they are largely unfinished. Like a good chunk of this sketch.
The thing in the bottom left corner was meant to be some stylized flourished that kind of went nowhere. Welp.

You call it a sketch so casually, but as usual it is plain amazing and really stylishly done.Agreed! I find myself wondering what the "garbage work" looks like, too.
Nice! Somewhat irregular "weapon" but I'm sure it can be weaponised into an effective troll mace.Thank you :D Hmm, Yees, add a morningstar to the apple end, and and *

@Piney: Lovely image, and such a beautiful owl.
@Kick'run: I've had the same thought about glasses. Looking through the thread, quite a lot of us wears them, so someone must be really adept at repairing old glasses and making new ones. And good that you don't let anyone shame you from dancing!
@Oh Deer: Nice deer. And my thought when I saw Pineys face after firing that building was: Poor Piney, whoops no books for her!

Ooh, I like this even more than my idea (spiked helmet, studded leather jacket and two baseball bats to be flailed around). You're a natural at this, have a weapon innovations seal of approval.
I think this marks the point where I've played too much doodle or die
What!? No! Nonsense, we're loving it.

I suppose you could reinforce the basket end and fill it with gunpowder and splinters, then add a crude trigger mechanism. You ram it into a troll and hope not to be impaled by the recoil.

All right, that's bedtime. I'll try to do something more appropriate tomoroow. (I'm guessing Sara would be kinda pleased with new colors, but maybe she has a job interview for archive work in the new university?)

Yes, that could work. I was also toying with the idea of a modified spear:

Anyway, on top of that piece of strangeness, I'm liking the art which has been popping up these last few days ^_^ Piney, that's a nice picture of SolarPoweredGirl there, she just looks so happy and vibrant, and the hair looks so fwooshy! Almond-Goddess, even for a WIP I'm impressed, the picture just overflows with life and energy and I can't wait to see it finished! Vafhudur I like this a lot (I'm such a total backgrounds fangirl, as soon as someone adds mountains, and trees, suddenly the picture is part of a bigger world to me, and well it just makes me happy)! The patterns and swirls give it a nice effect and that's a well drawn dress as well :) Mélusine I read your story and really liked it! It is well written and that's an impressive feat if English isn't a language you're comfortable in, but mostly I just like the story itself and now I kinda want to know what happens next!
YOU ARE ALL BAREFACED BABBIES!!

You look like you could be Gwenno's dad (the messy braided hair is strong in the bloodline) and a close relative of Admiral Olsen :P
I agree with whoever said you look like you're related to Gwenno! I like the use of a shovel as a weapon ^w^
*ahem* as probably the forum expert on what my dad looks like (unless he or my mum have actually started using the forum, in which case oh gosh I hope they don't see how much time I've spend on it :o ) I can attest that it is not like this! My youngest brother has promised me that he'll grow and style a Gimli beard once he's able to however, so messy braided hair may indeed be genetic :P Maybe they'd be somehow related if your 'sona is Norwegian, as there is definitely a resemblance.

I am insanely impressed with your work, and how well you manage to capture everyone's characters (I'm especially loving Haiz's rainbow hair because COLOURS!, but yeah, all the colouring in is so lifelike and perfect!). You not only caught their appearance, but also personalities I feel, and gosh I'm loving the chibi versions on the side as well, and if I don't stop typing now this will go on a rambling spree about all the things I like about this picture and go on typing for hours…..

FWIW, as far as I'm familiar with (European) language teaching, the institutions will differentiate between "Portuguese" and "Brazilian Portuguese" even before they feel it necessary to split English into any regional variants. Considering how far the Portuguese spread across Europe in search of jobs, clarifying that you're speaking Brazilian Portuguese might be sensible for a self-insert into the post-Rash sorry remains of Europe.
(As a less-than-authoritative actually-U.S.-based, but online, example, Livemocha (http://livemocha.com/pages/learn-languages/).)
Sorry for the late answer!! But yes, Brazilian Portuguese is really different from European Portuguese... But is Portuguese, nevertheless. So we never refer to our language as Brazilian, but as Portuguese. My mistake was referring to the language as Brazilian, without any further specification.
And thank you for introducing me to Livemocha! I didn't know this site existed, and it is amazing! :)

Hahah, I bet the interviewers would be shocked :P
This is exactly what came to mind when reading that comment ^^ My bf actually dressed up as Gin no saji one Halloween and it was surprisingly many who knew what it was :P
The dress is really pretty! Trees are hard xC Try referencing from pictures if you're having problems with the branches and stuff.
She looks so sweet and I like the owl! :)
I'm open for art trades if anyone wants to! :)
Apples trees are gnarly pieces of work.
And I'll trade with ya!
Huh, well that was an interesting few pages of reading - you're all kinda crazy, but I guess that's why I hang around :P
Anyway, on top of that piece of strangeness, I'm liking the art which has been popping up these last few days ^_^ Piney, that's a nice picture of SolarPoweredGirl there, she just looks so happy and vibrant, and the hair looks so fwooshy! Almond-Goddess, even for a WIP I'm impressed, the picture just overflows with life and energy and I can't wait to see it finished! Vafhudur I like this a lot (I'm such a total backgrounds fangirl, as soon as someone adds mountains, and trees, suddenly the picture is part of a bigger world to me, and well it just makes me happy)! The patterns and swirls give it a nice effect and that's a well drawn dress as well :) Mélusine I read your story and really liked it! It is well written and that's an impressive feat if English isn't a language you're comfortable in, but mostly I just like the story itself and now I kinda want to know what happens next!
*ahem* as probably the forum expert on what my dad looks like (unless he or my mum have actually started using the forum, in which case oh gosh I hope they don't see how much time I've spend on it :o ) I can attest that it is not like this! My youngest brother has promised me that he'll grow and style a Gimli beard once he's able to however, so messy braided hair may indeed be genetic :P Maybe they'd be somehow related if your 'sona is Norwegian, as there is definitely a resemblance.
Well deyum! This got posted while I was typing and wowness that is good! I am insanely impressed with your work, and how well you manage to capture everyone's characters (I'm especially loving Haiz's rainbow hair because COLOURS!, but yeah, all the colouring in is so lifelike and perfect!). You not only caught their appearance, but also personalities I feel, and gosh I'm loving the chibi versions on the side as well, and if I don't stop typing now this will go on a rambling spree about all the things I like about this picture and go on typing for hours….. (it is so good!)
Thank you! Landscapes give me life and are definitely something I am trying to improve and one of my major motivation to make the jump to digital as soon as I can.
/but it's so goshdarn frustrating
/on the other hand, I would have gotten to paint this in all the pretty autumn colours I had in mind.
The struggle is real.
@ Curry
Speaking of colours - that is fantastic.
Post by: Curry on May 09, 2015, 10:25:07 PM
I tried to choose characters different than those Haiz drew especially because I wanted to spread the love and halfway through I realized our lists were very, very similar so if you were on Haiz's list, I love you too
A lot of you mentioned the Extreme Variety of colors and that makes me think you might enjoy this picture of all the pencils I have available to me (http://i.imgur.com/mJJncsi.jpg)
koalalou and Fimbulvarg, these are BEAUTIFUL and I love them both and I am probably going to introduce them both into my icon rotation B)
Daéa, they're actually just colored pencils! Really nice, soft colored pencils ; v ;

I'm in the process of working on some art of Marie as well, which I may or may not post as soon as it's done because it's going to be a little gross. Let's just say it involves her having a not-so-great encounter with a troll... entrails becoming extrails and all that (i'm sure she'll be fine with a few organs missing?).

Hellooo do you remember when I made inky-wonky headshots of all the current OCs wayyy back on page 13 of this thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg25326#msg25326)?My gosh, my despair when I opened this thread to where I left off and ended up *26* pages behind. I've been making my way through and coming across such spectacular work by Haiz and Gwenno and Almond Goddess and then I come across this beauty by Haiz, complete w my SSSSona. I don't know what to say other than Thank You. The talent here is boggling, even more than the productivity!
I may not be able to keep my promise of drawing everyone for all of the future
BUT I CAN STILL TRY
inky-wonky headshots, ROUND 2

Curry: Seeing all those beautifully drawn, expressive and nicely colored drawings
Piney: Wow, is she making this necklace (https://www.etsy.com/no-en/listing/216942162/solar-system-necklace-with-tardis-stone?ref=shop_home_active_8)? She looks really absorbed, great work!

Mélusine I read your story and really liked it! It is well written and that's an impressive feat if English isn't a language you're comfortable in, but mostly I just like the story itself and now I kinda want to know what happens next!*Blush* I'm... I'm happy you liked it :) And I had perfect beta-readers who corrected my mistakes.
What... what happens next ? I might have a few ideas...
Well, I'm sure drawing is a best thing to share here, I mean easier to share and be seen than something written, but ending like that I was thinking "Ok, people have created so much and so interesting, now the next step could be putting them - the characters - into something..." Interactions. Could be fun. Maybe.
To all of you : sorry, I don't comment everything because there is to much to admire, but you're talented and I'm always happy to see new draws :)
Post by: Vafhudr on May 10, 2015, 04:00:52 PM
Vafhudr, the headshot I did of you didn't feel quite enough as my part of the art trade (since I'm aiming for drawing everyone regardless of trades), so I explored your magesona a bit more. I don't remember if you chose a spirit animal when that was discussed, but the design on your summer wear looked so much like a raven so that's what you got! Have a sketchdump (drawing in old gnarly trees is my way of chickening out when I've drawn someone half sitting and need something appropriate for them to sit on - rocks didn't work at all)eeeeeee!

I love it!
And okay. Spirit animal wise. In the early design stage I went for the raven - for the following reasons.
So. Vafhudr. There is actually a bit of history behind that name. When I was a youngster, one of the first computer games I played was Age of Mythology - and little Vaf found it hella baller. It still holds up, actually. Anyway. It had a very detailed section that would explain to you the various gods and mythological creatures in the game and I spent a lot of time reading that. I especially liked Odin and Loki, and in the Odin section there was details on the many names the god had.
One of those names was Váfuðr, translated as wanderer. 11 year old me found that really cool, especially so after having moved very far away and being in a place where I did not really fit much. I updated it to Vafhudr because the accents and foreign letters are hell for my keyboard. That became my online name ever since and I have grown very fond of it since then. It's very much my trademark, moreso that I found much of interest in Odin and his stories. His association with oracles, magic, fury, war, poetry and writing, as well as quest to prevent the end of an age are very appealing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin)
Anyway.
So. In shaping my persona for this I went with that - the persona I already kind of had online anyway. Ravens are very intelligent birds, especially the ones in the places where I grew up. They are a symbol of intelligence, of cunning and of speech - flattering stuff, plus the additional link to Huggin and Muggin. The owl is something my friends joke about, as I tend to be the intellectuel de service. Owls are rad as well, so I am okay with either or both. I veered toward ravens because I could find more about ravens in norse mythology and the mythology of the cultures where I grew up. The owl, though, largely embodies the same quality - with usually more emphasis on wisdom. The owl also loses the trickster disposition the raven has in some folklores.
ANYWAY. Since Icelandic mages receive direct intimations from the gods (or so they pretend), I thought it would make sense to make a mage of Odin, since I presume that it is the source of much their power. Hence the spear. Hence the ravens. Hence the little glyph on my mage cape, which is based on an old drawing of Odin. Plus, the spear becomes a pun - it's a staff to conjure staves. And stab things.
But the more I looked into the matter - and the more we got to learn about the mechanisms of magic, I found more interest and affinity with Finnish magic. Plus, after doing research I discovered that Icelanders have a registry of names - and the one I made up was very much absent from it. So, about that point, I decided to flip around and make him Finnish. Voitto Seppanen is based on my real name through Finnish approximations - words that kind of mean the same thing but not. They convey the same sense without being the same words. Being Finnish would also give me an excuse to have in-char the theories I developed about the silent world anyway, as they are very finnish-mythology centric.
So there.
All that to say that your observations were correct. The owl-stuff emerged from a conversation with Dancing Ranger, which occurred after the initial sketches.

Piney: Wow, is she making this necklace (https://www.etsy.com/no-en/listing/216942162/solar-system-necklace-with-tardis-stone?ref=shop_home_active_8)? She looks really absorbed, great work!
Thank you! I don't know what she's making. Something weird and complicated, probably some kind of machine.
Post by: daItrick on May 10, 2015, 04:34:23 PM
I wanted to draw you two with me, I don't know why hehe. I'm sure all is wrong, I just came 2 hours ago from a lake like... 50 Km away from my house, maybe? Well it was so hard to walk through the sand arround it and I'm tired as heck 7-7 (I'll show images later)
Anyways, I hope you 2 like it!
I was going to draw more... But maybe tomorrow, I need to study AGAIN for tomorrow, hopefully, this exam is about maths AND last one! Woohoo!

Baku: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FLOOF FREND
Piney: your art trades are super cool and I'm gonna. I'm gonna pm you for one. at some point in the future. i said i had open shop for art trades but i shouldn't have so. it will have to wait a few weeks. you probably have enough art trades as is ahahaha
wavewright: oh gosh I'm glad you like it so much!!!
koalalou: aw yiss outfit details!!! especially since you've got a different uniform type than all the uniformed nordics around here O: the cat scribble is adorablee
Red Cloud: ahahah wow thank you!!! DON'T WORRY WE'LL PROTECT YOU FROM THE SCARY CAT-TANK. good luck on the Last Exam~
AS FOR ME
as much as I enjoy macing trolls in a rather unconventional manner, It's time to... ahem... reclaim my Coolness, assuming I ever had any.
First of all, I spent my day looking like this
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/08d597b194ac76cf196fe9de8688c6c9/tumblr_inline_no5b4uDWRT1r2g2kx_540.jpg)
so if I ever seem too enthusiastic about being in-character.... it's because I literally am my character.
(https://41.media.tumblr.com/b7584f8d7323aeeaf69230abe2ff3200/tumblr_no5j6mCr2K1r6soqlo2_540.png)
so here's
and spending all that time surrounded by people with both prettier and more authentic viking outfits than me, I felt very inspired to draw some alternative outfits, like so:
(https://41.media.tumblr.com/6889ee11c5f443d637a65d83d0f95a5e/tumblr_no5j6mCr2K1r6soqlo1_540.jpg)
1) how Haiz looks whenever ze no longer needs to look Presentable - pouch belt; jewellery; overdress/tunic thing; leg wrappings; sleeve strings; and if no longer needed, even the shoes and glasses - all of it goes off, leaving hir in the shirt and poofy pants that slide down to the ankles. Honestly, as much as ze likes to wear cool and interesting outfits, this is how you'll find hir 60% of the time. wearing stuff is exhausting.
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/534ac5df7fcbeff254e505ea4bcceb9e/tumblr_inline_no5j38EDas1r2g2kx_540.jpg)
(Haiz is capable of waking up pretty early in the morning, but there is no point in talking to hir before the glasses are on. Putting on glasses is in the final phase of the Waking Up routine.)
2) Pretty dress!! Formal wear for Formal Events.
3) Warrior-y outfit. The sword is only for show and confidence boost. The clothes ze wears when visiting hir family in Norway, probably.
Also, my Normal Outfit is supposed to be a mix of a feminine and a masculine viking outfit. The tunic part + the jewellery is taken from dresses, and poofy pants + leg wrappings from warrior outfits I've observed. I own both fancy brooches and poofy pants irl, so I'm being True To Myself here, haha.
The blue coat I have yoinked from the SSSS infopage on mages. I'm pretending it's hir ~*Official Mage Cape*~ or something. Maybe one day I'll manage to draw it a little more interesting, or even *gasps* decide on what shade of blue I want it to be. For now, let's say it's.... made of magically shimmering wool or something.
(I also really want to draw

Btw, 2 things:
1. I love the drawings tho!

1. I love the drawings tho!1. thank you!!

I-I don't know what happened. I had reached S on the infodump, and I was gonna try some fwooshy hair. And then just:Spoiler: show
All right, that's bedtime. I'll try to do something more appropriate tomoroow. (I'm guessing Sara would be kinda pleased with new colors, but maybe she has a job interview for archive work in the new university?)
She/I would in fact like the new hair colors! But yeah, I think for the university job interview we'll be wrapping that opalescent range of mage-tones in a nice headscarf. 8)
(I have no idea what range of looks/fashions the Known World admits, or how dressed-up it expects you to look. Things have loosened up considerably, at least in Silicon Valley, since the late '80s, when I was first interviewing for jobs IRL. You kiddies have no idea how restrictive dress standards used to be -- no more than one piercing -- in the earlobes, where else?, no tattoos, no colors on your hair that aren't found in nature, suit-and-tie or feminine equivalent. Nowadays, it's still a good idea to look neat, clean, professional, and well-organized, but there are a lot more ways to do that.)
Also, you make me look considerably more sleek and impressive than I am IRL. I actually have round little doll-like features with practically no cheekbones visible and a small, pointy, Tuuri-like nose. I wish I could look as elegant as that portrait! :)

RealRedCloudYT that's adorable!! :D I agree with Haiz, we'll protect you from the scary cattank. If it tries to do even one thing I'd BURN IT TO THE GROUND
Haiz YOU ARE ADORABLE AS USUAL.... i love the new outfit designs! you make me want to do a real rundown on Karri's outfits (because I have changed it a significant amount and I have Many More Designs in my head, wheeee)
Also thank you to the people who said nice things about my art since I last blanket thank you'd! Sunflower, I'm glad somebody enjoyed my ridiculous captions :P (and I was not exaggerating about your hair koalalou I really want that haircut hhhh)

Laufey, this makes me laugh every time I look at it. I hope your hand slips more often!
Oh, uh. Poor Haiz. Yeah, um, that must hurt. *BLAAAART*
I'm not sure which one takes the worse hit here, me or Haiz. Thank you, I will try to keep myself out of control. :D

Heheh, I have two, but it's not like I'm in a hurry to finish them. I did get an idea for yours today though :)OOooh REALLY? hmMmMmM how about we officially agree to an art trade, but to just do our parts whenever it fits to do so? since it's gonna happen anyway eventually

Hehe, that's a really good description of a likely sequence of events. The bigger question is who was most surprised.
And darn, now I'm trying to imagine how to weaponise books. Literature armour maybe? We'll call it Smart Armour™. Who cares about the skalds' opinions anyways, they don't appreciate art.

I'd forgive you after about 10 minutes when I find out what happened and that I suffered no major injuries. I'd pretend to keep a grudge and the crew groans in unison whenever I start retelling the story for the ten thousandth time

She/I would in fact like the new hair colors! But yeah, I think for the university job interview we'll be wrapping that opalescent range of mage-tones in a nice headscarf. 8)Heh, I tried to model it after the first picture you posted on the how-do-you-look thread, and then I looked at the picture you posted in this thread and was superconfused because you hardly looked like the same person! Nose, mouth and eyebrows were completely wrong but eh, that just means I'll have to try again later whith the picture from this thread ;)
Also, you make me look considerably more sleek and impressive than I am IRL. I actually have round little doll-like features with practically no cheekbones visible and a small, pointy, Tuuri-like nose. I wish I could look as elegant as that portrait! :)
eeeeeee!Glad you liked it, and that Vafhudr with raven was acceptable even if he wasn't Voitto with an owl. And I've played hours and hours of AOM! It certainly holds up ;) (But that is a discussion for another thread)
I love it!

Nose, mouth and eyebrows were completely wrong but eh, that just means I'll have to try again later whith the picture from this threadI have small features with round apple cheeks on top of unemphatic bone structure. So how I look depends heavily on how my expression is moving my face-muscles etc. around. (The only thing that stands out is the point on my chin, which was built up when I had to have a bunch of jaw surgery a few years ago. :-\) I've always looked cute, or at least unthreatening (a Tuuri-type face), which was helpful back when I was a newspaper reporter and asking strangers impertinent questions.

Well, like I have a work outfit picture from AquaAurion so, a casual outfit like sweater and pants? IDK, i'm pretty sure if the known world had t-shirts, he'd be running around in them except in the coldest winters, but I don't think they do.
Also I'm still gonna shoot for between 500 to 1000 words, and the last one was mid-700s, so whatever you feel is a fair trade for that is great :J

Lemme give the best explanation I can on this stupid outfit. The underlayer is some white leggings/pants + a grey shirt. The over layer is like what alter servers wear, but with a cape attached. The skirt is many different colors in strips, and is kinda feathery looking. The hood has something like a birds beak I guess, but there isn't any change in fabric.
The blue thing is my spirit snake. Which will probably be redacted in the near future.

Daea is there anything I can use as reference for below the waist? like, I assume she's wearing a tunic and stuff, but is there anything you had planned for the pants/footwear?

The notes just say what each clothing is/there for. The large section of notes says that the blue triangles appeared on her outfit after she joined the military, since I believe them to be a Swedish military design and not a standard Known World design.
Notes under the skirt say that the amount of strips change from dream to dream.(black base part stays)
The small poncho above the big sketch is how the poncho is supposed to work. I messed up with how the shape would interact with the blue triangles.
(You might have to open it in a new tab, oops.)
This is the thing that looks closest to how priest poncho looks.
(http://cdn3.volusion.com/dgmxt.gydrr/v/vspfiles/photos/AS190TCB-7.jpg)
Actually, Priest poncho is smaller in the back, and the triangle shape in the big sketch is slightly wrong, look at the sketch above it.
The hood looks like this, only the pointy part is black.

At church next Sunday, I am totally whispering "priest poncho" when our choir, altar boys/girls, and lay readers come down the aisle dressed like that. ;D
I'm an Episcopalian, and when my denomination split off from the Catholics, we copied all the fancy regalia. I think the white thingie is formally called an alb or a cotta or the like -- but "priest poncho" is better because it's self-explanatory.

I'm still taking a stab at the watercolor style, and I think that this attempt is more successful than the first, yay!
P.S. Okay so far I'm going through the art trades at a rate of one piece per week, which is unacceptable in my books. But hopefully this will change! Tomorrow I will (probably) have the whole day to work on Fimbulvarg's, then maybe Piney's trade. Fingers crossed!
P.P.S. John Candlebury and Mad Robin, since you guys drew my character and went through the efforts to color and ink, do you want to formally make it an art trade? :)
Wow!Amazing!Stupendous! At this rate of mastering the learning curve you are going to be able to sell your work anywhere real soon.

I'm a skald and I overthink (and probably overtalk) everything. I'd be intrigued, ask you where it's from, how you heard it, and go off on some tangent about parallels in Greek and Finnish myth (until DancingRanger heads for the door, murmuring about Poor Neglected Responsibilities).

It seems to be fixed now.
The story would be told over a fire by my S'ona, as it's a Native American story. To him it would be more true than Norse legends, but not by much. He still respects both, it's just he very proud of the forgotten culture that he carries.

I am of the firm belief that the First Nations peoples of Canada would still be around and kicking, especially way far up North with the Inuit and such, so stories like that would totally get tossed around the grapevine along with others. :)

Hey, I've got a writting idea itching at my brain. I need to know how your S'onas would react to this story, How Raven stole fire.

My 'sona would probably be intrigued, and eager to learn more (but not too verbal about it!). I have always had a fascination for traditional myths and legends :)
I hadn't heard of this one before, but I can spot some parallels with greek myth in there

My sona likes listening to stories a lot, but would probably cut across all the time with thoughts and opinions (and seeing as she's Norwegian and probably hadn't heard this one before she'd speculate at the ending and feel soooooo clever if she guessed something right!). It would probably annoy many people I'm sorry to say :-\

She'd also more than likely like to discuss the plot of the story with the other SSSSonas afterwards.

Ilmari would probably listen while trying to keep watch (he'd probably be on guard even if he isn't technically working. He prefers to keep his normal sleep schedule/routine). Also, he'd find it interesting, but might already know a story of how humans got fire that Totally Makes More Sense.

*ears perk up* Have I heard about this?
I probably mentioned it like... once? A significant while ago. It's pretty much the main characters making a lot of stupid faces and doing stupid things so of course that means comedy, duh
Ahhhhh it looks fantastic! I can't wait to read it once it's done c:
Thank you, I can't wait for it to be done ;___;

So cute! I'll get to work on yours tomorrow when I have more light. I just messed up a personal project when I used 'raspberry' instend of 'mahogany' . . .I think I can fix it. I've also have had a week of meh. Doodles will come soon I promise!
If anyone else want to add one to my list PM me!

Kinda got distracted by work and getting ready to move (transferred to a different ranger district) and I may be not having internet starting Sunday until probably October (probably not I'll probably get expensive wireless or something).
Aditionally I'm still arguing with my scanner to get the art stuff onto my computer to start the digital work on it.
Good luck starting chaos in the new ranger district. Where is it? (Just in case we start hearing news of mysterious explosions in the Bitterroot Mountains, or roving packs of man-eating Chihuahuas, or the like...)
Lack of Internet couldn't keep a man of your ingenuity away from SSSS. I picture something like this going up in the back of your truck:

North of Crater lake National Park now. Mostly the issue is that there's maybe 2 providers up there that do wireless internet but it's all capped at certain amounts of data per month, and none of the wired internet folks run cable to the barracks that I'll be living in apparently.

17th may group picture is in the works...... If I'll work on it in my """study breaks""" it will hopefully yield results c:<
What quality/medium it'll be in is uncertain so far (PROBABLY INK) and i should definitely not colour it (maybe except the flags) and uh, I realized fitting 12 people (+ 1 troll) on one page proves a bit of a challenge.......

Anyway, as to getting inspired by your efforts, I figured no one would complain if there were more pictures of al the Norweigan 'sonas :P (Still working on it, but will hopefully be done in time!)

My part of the art trade with AquaAurion. More cooking! I drew and redrew your face so many times, still couldn't manage to make it look like you. After I had made the table, I realized I had forgotten where you where supposed to actually warm your food. So that is just outside the picture.

uh-oh, I almost forgot about this thread and about Marja too, but it's a really good week for her.

Two knives and an axe so far. There's probably a pile of weapons on the deck just waiting to be added on once the figurehead is finished as well…..
Gwenno and Haiz, those are so great!

Well you seem like a sensible-ish kinda of person, and to be honest, our resident troll has already displayed an interest in eating Karri and having someone pull them back seems like a good idea….
That's a nice picture of AquaAurion as well ^_^ I really like the shading, and I can see you've put a lot of effort into the face. Even if you aren't happy with it it looks pretty impressive!

OOOOKAY I'M REALLY LATE BUT a little while back, Haiz posted some really adorable draws of the SSSSonas with the hair ze liked to draw the much, and I made a list of my favorite SSSSonas to draw in general and I have been working on these for days ;_; just consider this as a thank you for making really cute designs although I legitimately love every single one of you guys!

!!! I'm really glad that I dug deeper into the thread otherwise I would have forgotten to formally thank you for the cute portrait of my character!
Wow!Amazing!Stupendous! At this rate of mastering the learning curve you are going to be able to sell your work anywhere real soon.
As always the style is simply amazing and very inspiring.

Hey guys! This is kind of inspired by Haiz's project to draw a group picture of all the Norwegian characters. Would you guys be up for doing a collaboration piece? Basically everyone contributes by drawing their respective characters, then a person compiles them together into a single picture, complete with fancy background and everything. I want to get a headcount of interested parties before I get too excited about this, haha.I'M IN

Sara likes long fluttery scarves and shawls and such. She doesn't wear rings or bracelets (they clink annoyingly against typewriter keys) but brooches, necklaces, hairclips, and other twinkly things might show up.

I don't know what to say about mine really, maybe "Happy Constitution day!"? Anyway, it's my attempt at all the Norwegian 'sonas :)
From left to right we have : Fimbulvarg, Freddiethefantastic, Sigrid Marie, Gwenno (me), Fenris, Ruth, Karri/Curry, Unlos, Kex(bottom), Cheescake(top), Eldrew and Haiz/Helen. The troll is of course Laufey

Hey guys! This is kind of inspired by Haiz's project to draw a group picture of all the Norwegian characters. Would you guys be up for doing a collaboration piece? Basically everyone contributes by drawing their respective characters, then a person compiles them together into a single picture, complete with fancy background and everything. I want to get a headcount of interested parties before I get too excited about this, haha.Sure, I'd be up for this :) Seems like there's quite a few on board already!
Also, I'm slightly more free now, so if anyone feels like art trades let me know ^_^

(for those of you who haven't seen what a 17th may parade looks like, it's intense (https://www.google.no/search?q=17+mai&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=GL9YVcm9Lsv7ygOnnIGwBw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1304&bih=650))
(the rest is perfect too, but accordion troll has gotten a special place in my heart! I also like the flag on the apple picker ;-)I think accordion troll has a special place in all our hearts at this point
(I'm secretly really really happy that there's even a blart in there)OF COURSE the blart is there.
Also a good guess on Laufey-troll's butt-end, it really does not have hind legs. It's just a snek.
*finished inking* "hmmm, it looks okay, but something is missing."
*writes tiny blart in the lyrics*
"perfect"
I always thought Laufeytroll was connected to something, somewhere, and just sneked around a certain area like a... plugged-in vacuumer or something. I was a little sad at imagining fim ripping it out for the sake of the parade, but since you reallyreally wanted to join.........
(I'm laughing so hard at *furious accordion solo*)
Aww! Everyone's so cute and I look so TALL! *cackles at my new verticalness*
I like the vertical gradient here, it's like me and Gwenno are nearly twice as tall as some of you :PHAHA WOOPS
I'm really really not very used to drawing a big group of people together like this, so I was like "hm okay, if I draw myself first, VERY TINY, and then everyone around me VERY TALL (except for sigrid who i know is about my height), it will look accurate, no?" and this is the result. Also the heads have very diverse sizes, too. Just a lot of messing around with proportions all over the place
(TO BE FAIR it feels like a lot of people are nearly twice as tall as me)

I love the colouring and I understand completely why you'd avoid drawing legs, ha...

Putting me on flag holding duty was definitely the right choice.
Also I'm really happy we're planning a BIG GROUP PROJECT thing, because I wanted to make a drawing with everyone in it back when we were like........ six 'sonas or something. It became very clear very fast I would not be able to create a group drawing of everyone. Heck, fitting twelve people + one troll on an A3 paper was challenging enough for me. So I'm also veryvery excited about this!! And I also hope there isn't a deadline soon soon, because, well... reasons...
like the fact that I should get back to my last-minute studying ASAP (hi fives Noodly)

Aaahahaaa more awesomeness happened! You two are seriously impressive drawing whole teams and I'll try my best to match that in about exactly one month. Also from a trollish point of view this pic is a total smörgåsbord waiting to happen, so many sonas hanging over the sides (or in Haiz's case a second away from falling in). ;D

You say that but stretched to full length the Laufey-troll would probably be taller than the whole Norwegian team stacked up...

That's very much how it works: it anchors itself to one place and sneks around waiting to ambush possible prey. That's why it can duck and retreat quickly, it just yanks itself back to the anchor spot like an ugly vacuum cord.

Now that's some next level wish fulfillment right here
also haha no i'm definitely not falling into the water, look at me being all super anchored by my friend Lana and using the flag as a parachute if need be

The watercolouring looks very very good, especially considering that you've just had one day for it.

It's not criticism, I think it's very appropriate ;) I don't see anything wrong proportions-vice.

I would love to take part in this! I would quite like to now the time frame for it though, seeing as I'm unsure of my abilities to draw anything at all right now due to art block and that fact that all my muscles are complaining. I just completed the bronze duke of edinburgh award hike - if you haven't heard of it before, it basically involves a lot of walking, carrying a massive pack, which inevitably ends in pain.. Is it okay if the art is done traditionally and then scanned? My tablet has been broken for a while now :/
Anyway, gratulerer med dagen to all the Norwegians celebrating today! I'm loving all the art that has been posted recently :)

THANK YOU, so are you apparently, this is fantastic!!!! I love the colouring and I understand completely why you'd avoid drawing legs, ha...Haha, thank you ^_^ and I'm glad you sympathise on the legs front, someday I will learn to drawn them properly I'm sure!
Putting me on flag holding duty was definitely the right choice.

Also from a trollish point of view this pic is a total smörgåsbord waiting to happen, so many sonas hanging over the sides (or in Haiz's case a second away from falling in). ;DWell now I'm excited for what happens in exactly one month! Might not be a good idea to mess with this boat however, there are quite a few sonas on board with troll bashing/burning/magicking experience. It could end up with worse things than "blart", so maybe some standing still and staying silent is in order :P
Nice! It looks like we're all on our way to conquer England again in our soon to be vastly improved viking ship :DThank you very much ^_^ I usually do one to two pictures a week at my fastest, but now I feel as though I've just been lazy this whole time and should have been drawing faster :P As for conquering England again, I'm pretty sure with our amazing crew and the slashing, stabbing doom ship, we should be finished in time to enjoy tomorrow's SSSS page from Buckinham palace ;D
The watercolouring looks very very good, especially considering that you've just had one day for it.
I wish I was good at drawing.Not everyone is a drawing person, but I liked the story you created before very much! If you'd like to trade I'd be happy to draw you a sona in exchange for a story (although probably not as long as the story you created for yours, I don't think ANYTHING I could draw would be a fair trade for something like that!). Would you be happy with this?
Post by: Almond-Goddess on May 17, 2015, 03:41:21 PM
I'M IN
I'm pretty much in by default
I'm in! I can draw one or two more, if some of the self-declared non-drawers wants to get in as well.
This sounds like the most best thing ever! :D
I am vain and enjoy seeing pictures of myself. (Especially because y'all are better for improving my looks than expensive face creams containing alpha-hydroxy-acids.) Might I humbly request...?
Sara likes long fluttery scarves and shawls and such. She doesn't wear rings or bracelets (they clink annoyingly against typewriter keys) but brooches, necklaces, hairclips, and other twinkly things might show up.
This is a brilliant idea and I'm definitely in! :D
Sounds like a cool idea, but whether I can participate depends on the deadline.
I would love to take part in such a projet :)
It seems I can draw just a little bit, but I would have to find a scan somewhere...
Have a great day!Sure, I'd do that, it's a brilliant idea :)
Yesssss I'll do it.
I'd like to participate! ;D
I'm interested!!
I would definitely be interested. I was just thinking of something along those line.
*raises hand*

Seventeen people already? Seems like the level of interest for this project definitely not in question, haha! I'm going to go ahead and type up a thing for it explaining the rules, participants, and deadlines. Probably going to make a new thread for it to keep things organized, so keep an eye out for a link! I'm super excited to see what we can create together! ^_^

Also since I'm getting pretty deft at drawing everyone here (if i dare say so myself), I, too, can offer to draw other 'sonas than my own for this project ^______^
(depending entirely on deadline times and the amount of responsibilities to neglect, of course.)

Haha superb ;D No worries about how long it takes, I seem to be an exception here with exams finished and minimal actual work to do so you can just do that when you're able to and I'll be looking forwards for it in the meantime. As for knowing my character better, I posted a backstory a while back (buried under all the new posts now!) and have placed it under the spoiler, it's probably as good a way as any on knowing what my sona is like ^_^ I'll message you as I work on your design, and feel free to message me if you need any info on my sona (but once you have time from your poor neglected responsibilities of course!)
Spoiler: show
Almond-Goddess - Thank you for such kind words, it really means a lot to me ^_^ I'm also pretty darn excited to see how this project ends up!
KicknRun - Don't give up on digital art just yet! I think your picture is very good, and I love the bright colours on it and the creative design :D

Also since I recently got my to-draw list down to *looks at smudged writing on hand* 11 items I believe? I am so up for an art trade! I'll pm you about specifics :O
KicknRun, I agree with Haiz, digital art does take a while to get used to (I'm still getting used to it to be honest) but what you posted looks great and I really love your SSSSona's design! :D I wish you the softest of pillows to relieve your art-related back pain, by the way.

Iceland's National Day is June 17; I think someone on this thread already brought it up. (Maybe Laufey?)
Google tells me June 6 is Sweden's national day (though only since 1905). However, Swedes seem to be a little conflicted about it. As that country's own tourist board (https://sweden.se/culture-traditions/national-day/)says:
Quote
Not known for displaying their national pride, this day offers a rare chance to see Swedes waving their flag about. ... In 2004, the Swedish parliament voted to make [June 6] a public holiday, which may cause people to become more interested in celebrating it. The final decision took decades to reach − various proposals had been discussed under a succession of governments.
There are also groups lobbying for the introduction of an official national pastry, and a national dish, and for the key-fiddle (nyckelharpa) to be made the national instrument. But even for ideas as innocent as these, arriving at a consensus has proved difficult.
Denmark doesn't seem to have a full-scale National Day. Wikipedia says Constitution Day on June 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Day_(Denmark)) is the closest equivalent -- or maybe Valdemar's Day on June 15, which commemorates King Valdemar's victory over the Estonians in 1219 and the discovery of the Danish flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Denmark).
Finland's National Day isn't till December. Maybe our Finns can celebrate with a group selfie on Juhannes?
(Solokov, I'm not sure where mysterious barbarians from outside the Known World fit in...) ;)

Noodly: what a good draw, I like it
Sunflower: ahahah, I doubt Sweden's and Denmark's national days are as intense as the Norwegian one, seeing as our day is celebrating the independence from Sweden and Denmark... (well, okay, just from Denmark when the constitution was written, Sweden took over Norway almost immediately afterwards. But Norway has been part of sweden and denmark several times in the past and we're very fierce of our independence as a result. the reason we even have two official norwegian languages is because on of them sounded too danish.)
KicknRun: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's really impressive (i would know, ha)! I like how you did my portrait with a rune :3c
Almond-Goddess: aaaaaaaa I love falconer gal!!! and i love outfits!! this is great and i love the sleepy sweater version, she's adorablee. I also love the middle version, and the expedi- you know what I just really like all of them

Google tells me June 6 is Sweden's national day (though only since 1905). However, Swedes seem to be a little conflicted about it. As that country's own tourist board (https://sweden.se/culture-traditions/national-day/)says:I don't know anyone that actually celebrates nationaldagen =\
Aw yeah, double-posting, that's me. I finished Cil's art trade! Bask in the glory of dim lighting and poor photography skills! (it looks better in person, I promise.)I think it's pretty =D

After all those art trades, I realized that I've been neglecting to draw my own gal for ages. So, here she is wearing her expedition, ???, and casual outfits. Studies for the falcon hopefully coming later!
I finally finished my part of mine and Vafhudr's art trade!

Studies for the falcon hopefully coming later!With special grossling-fighting, high altitude observer, and (food)hunting equipment? ;)
[Imagines a falcon with a teensy pince-nez pair of binoculars on the beak to increase recon range to insane levels. Catapult launch to help reaching the proper altitude, too.]

RealRedCloudYT, sorry for taking so long to finish yours! I did linework with a bit of shading/flat tones on yours because I'm pretty sure that's what you did too :0
koalalou, I don't know how detailed you were going to go, so I just did linework and full shading • v • (plus Jabberwocky because what a cute cat omg)
Gwenno, those wonky sketches on the bottom are all pose iterations for your trade! (except that one with the leg up. I don't know what that is. :I ) If you see one that really stands out to you tell me, because personally, I'm torn between two and I can't decide and you know you best of course!
That brings me down to... one art trade in my to-do list! So, if anybody wants to do one with me, I'm open for more! :D

Deym Curry, you had way more art trades to do than me and still it looks like you'll be finishing first at this rate! These ones are pretty sweet however. Heheh, I envy your ability to make realistic looking clothing (and hair, but that goes without saying :P ). As for poses I'm pretty spoilt with these pics ^_^ each one looks like they're telling a different story, and boy to I love my stories :P I think my favourite has to be the jumping/falling one on the far right (although crouching and cocky sitting down look fun too), mostly because I just want to get some context for it, and also I love the way the hair is acting ;D
Because Mélusine didn't have a visible character when I started the trade (before she posted the picture yesterday) I've been designing her features and clothes based on the information in her story and also some insight from Mélusine herself. Here's what I have so far, and once it's been okayed I'll go ahead and paint her within the story (which I'm pretty excited about because I've a fun idea I want to play about with sooooon!). *ahem*, anyway the sketches:
Waking world:Dreamland first concept design:Dreamland full body:
(http://pre12.deviantart.net/e6dc/th/pre/f/2015/140/8/b/von_wip3___waking_world_by_mursen-d8u2upg.jpg)(http://pre07.deviantart.net/c134/th/pre/i/2015/140/8/c/von_wip1___dreamland_outfit_by_mursen-d8u2uau.jpg)(http://pre08.deviantart.net/3734/th/pre/f/2015/140/d/b/von_wip2___dreamland_full_by_mursen-d8u2un4.jpg)
AquaAurion - that's really pretty, the dreamland colouring and the mist make it look ethereal and Vafhudr looks really pensive in the setting. The ripples are my favourite thing though ^_^ they make me think of footsteps on water
Almond-Goddess - After all those trades you deserve to draw your falconer gal! The two new outfits are lovely (awesome hannuvannukah pjs there :P), but it's the bed hair that really makes it!
KicknRun - impressive feat! This is why I'm glad my name is at the start-ish of the alphabet :P You even did some colours which I don't think anyone's done before for an everybody draw ^_^ awesome job!
Noodly Appendage - Ah, I like the hair and the fabric for this one as well, and the expression on Cil's face is just lovely. I always find hands difficult, but you seemed to have managed to make it look non weird even from a side view (ah the small things which impress me ::) )

It's kind of ugly, so here's the picture under a spoiler!

And also here's an animation how it opens its giant maw! There aren't enough muscles in that skinny little second neck to open it, so it has to manually do so :I

Nice! Very nice. I see you got some inspiration from the recent updates. ;DThank you, I'm happy you like it :D I couldn't resist trying to draw the dreamworld after the last couple of updates ^^
Curry: Youre trades look really neat =D And holy wow that's a creepy troll! I get goosebumps from it opening its mouth (◎n◎)
Gwenno: Thank you so much! =D I tried to get that mystical feeling that Minna has created. The ripples are actually supposed to be footsteps ^^ There are some hard to spot rocks under them!
Piney: They look wonderful :) I'm impressed you drew everyone!
Haiz: Thank you! (σ‿σ)
Post by: Curry on May 21, 2015, 09:24:26 AM
All of you guys described it as elegant, so naturally I had to ruin it.
Spoiler: show
Oops.
Fimbulvarg, how about Lord Trolldemort the Jawful :V
and I agree it's not a very practical troll. Probably best suited for sneaking up on people and hoping people punch it in the face? Either that or using some of its limbs (I'M SORRY I WENT OVERBOARD 15 IS A LOT ISN'T IT) to hold people in place until it figures out what is happening with its face... there are lots of possibilities here and none of them are very cute :I
Gwenno, I forgot to say this earlier (got WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT TROLL) but those are adorable draws of Mélusine! :D I think the falling/jumping one would be really fun to draw and I could think up a pretty good scenario for that ;)
Piney that is SO IMPRESSIVE GOOD JOB

Noodly, I really liked your drawing, the hair, the pose, everything!!
Curry: The pronunciation of ":V-troll" sounds a little like the word "vitrola" in Portuguese, which means "gramophone". Coincidence??? (and now every time the gif troll opens it's mouth I imagine gramophone sounds coming from it)
Piney: Look, it's me!! *happy dance* Congratulations, Piney! That must have been a LOT of work!

That. Is. Beautiful.
I don't know what made me laugh more: the gramophone thing or the "limb count" on the top left. Looks like the troll is counting the number of limbs he has ripped off. Maybe he is like a siren, attracting people with his beautiful music and then dismembering them.

obviously tru fact:
it steals people's arms when they try to punch it in its face and sticks them on its back. it ran out of ideas and stuck one on its leg instead of being smart and using it to hold its torso together (although that would ruin the sound quality. there's enough buzzing as it is)

Fim- Its a homage to Adventure Time, an American cartoon. All you really have to do is look up the opening to get the joke.

So who is the cutest troll around? The Blep Troll from Dood Leordie or The Blorp Troll? (Blep, blorp, blart... people here can get really creative with words :P)
I suggest a rap battle between the two of them.
I can imagine how this would unfold:
Blorp Troll: *Angry squeaking* AAAAAAAeeeeOOOuuuAAA
[Translation: In west Copenhagen born and raised/In the ruins was where I spent most of my days/Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool/And all stalkin some kitties outside of the school/When a couple of guys who were up to no good/Started setting fire to my neighborhood/I got in one little fight and my mom got scared]
Blep Troll: :þ
[Translation: I like flies]
I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF RAP BATTLE

Wooop I love it when people actually show how the uniform thing works! Nicely done too, I love your drawing style... besides this pic just got me thinking how handy it is that the backside of the cleansers' trousers is black because even at a distance, even if they and you are both moving fast and even if you only glimpse them from the side of your eye you can immediately tell which way they're facing. Not saying this would be important to know around Karri unless I actually am.

I'm also imagining :V and Accordion Troll both being very annoyed by this nuisance, and constantly kicking it out of their own territory into the other's in an eternal loop, until it is One Fateful Day found by some bold explorers. (Haiz does not think it's cute, even if Galatea is squeeing about it. Ze does not, however, have the heart to end its life. It's poor, pitiful, squeaky life)

And Oh Gods, Blorptroll. I know exactly what sound it makes. I'm positive it doesn't need a microphone. It's its very own amplifier and I think my sssona out of sheer desperation would stuff its mouth full of apples just to shut it up, if it ever wandered into the vicinity of her apple yard - it is a bit too pitiful to bash on the head after all...

Nice! I really like watercolors! At first I thought she was fighting the troll with a flower...Thanks you both ^_^ I think I'm getting a bit better at poses and colouring with all this practice so I'm glad other people think so too!
First good thing in an awful sunday THANK YOU Gwenno ! <3 *Delighted* I know I told you before but it's an happiness for me to see my character(s) by someone else's eyes :D
I was preciselyprocrastinatingwondering yesterday evening how to start something for you and began to take notes :) It might, hum, be the beginning of something bigger. I'll need a little more time to figure out what and by which sense I can catch it but I don't forget.
Well that makes me very glad that I posted it this afternoon rather than around now as I would have done had I been sensible with managing time and possessed any self control :P I hope your Sunday got better from there!
As for my vision of her, so many things changed over the course of drawing and painting and as I'd re-read the story I'd get little tweaks in expression and pose, but I'm happy with how it turned out because it feels like part of her story to me ^_^ I didn't really put much emphasis on the necklace or flower crown in the end except for that they're there (and you can sorta see the right shape if you zoom in), but the flowers were supposed to be these types (https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluetiger/4845483163/ and http://www.focusonnature.com/Icelan145.jpg ) and the colour of the scarf and the magic were purposefully made to match it :D
Anyway, on to other stuff I was planning on posting about: ;D
Trolls - This is a strange new development in the thread, but I like it a lot! Any chance we could have a page dedicated to the trolls on the info dump so that they don't get lost in the thread, they're well developed enough now that I think it should be okay, right?
Haiz - That's a pretty Piney there ^_^ and congratulations on getting the hair right, it seems to be quite the feat apparently! I like how mildly worried she seems about the whole "there seems to be a lot of fire about here" thing :P
Latent Leprechaun - I agree with Daéa Reina, dat hair!. The lighting is also very well done, but I kinda got sidetracked by the hair for the first few inspections, oops!
Curry - Handy uniform guide is handy! Not just for Karri's design, but also for cleanser stuff in general methinks :) I'm very happy this has appeared before I had to draw your sona because it's so detailed i'll know exactly what I'm supposed to do!
Kookeking - I enjoyed your brain fart very much! (eugh, that sounds weird, but same as you I'm kinda half asleep because it's 1am here). To my eyes it's very obvious that there are a book and gun and the glasses and baggy trousers add a nice splash of character to your sona. Maybe when you have time you can say more about then ^_^

So I googled "sketch online" and somehow happaned upon the most infuriating online-sketch site I've ever had the misshapen to come across...
So basically a lot of things went wrong, errored or simply disappeared. Sadly these things only came into being when I'd already sketched enough to either give up completely or muster through. I haven't drawn on comps for over a year, and only had a mouse. Oh well
This is around 10 min sketch of a concept:
(http://i.imgur.com/anliNcz.png)
"The 'Dollavárri'-Company is a elite cleansing unit consisting of descendants of the Sami people of northern sweden. Being housed in Luleå military base, these fierce warrior are nearly nothing like their nomadic ancestors. When the Rash came to the northern parts of Sweden, it quickly swept away all resistance when literal swarms of infected reindeer descended upon the hapless Sami- and Swedish inhabitants. In a last ditch effort to stem the tide, Luleå airbase (F21) launched a series of carpet-firebombings throughout the dense northern forests.
They succeeded, for a time, enough time for a few Sami tribes to get to the coast and take refuge in the luleå archipelago together with their swedish compatriots. There they would stay until contact was made with the rest of Swedens scarce survivors.
The remaining Sami had been assimilated into the Swedes in the refuge, as they were highly outnumbered in terms of population. However, their habits and clothing had also been adopted by a few of the surviving groups.
When it became their time to supply troops to the Swedish cleansing program, those groups who had had the greatest number of Sami descendants were the most eager to conscript. They had never forgotten the debt they felt they owed to the Swedes who had saved them, grandfathers- and grandmothers would tell fierce stories at the camp-fires: How the "Great roaring metal-birds, tamed and mounted by swedes, would come crashing through the sky, blanketing the troll- and beast hordes in fire and heat."
This legacy led to a huge appreciation for fire and its properties. Some would even go so far as to call it a mania or lunacy, as the Dollavárri made themselves famous for their wild behavior. Indeed, few military units have as many decorations as the Dollavárri... But then again few units also have as many injuries.
Still, any competent commander knows when and where to apply these unbreakable pyromaniacs: Because if there is a job that involves immense danger, as well as the possibility to burn things up; The Dollavárri are ALWAYS eager."
Basically the outfit, as well as bearing cultural pride, also serves as a multi-layered fire-repellent outfit. Indeed the most heavily armored dollavárri integrate chainmail into the layers as they often take point when it comes to cleansing operations.
They also wear masks, not so much to protect themselves from the disease but to make breathing possible when they fire up their high-pressure flamethrower which are effective at ranges up to 45m.
The beret is earned after a soldiers first successful cleanse-operation, which must at least include combat action and/or the slaying of (a) troll(s). It is the only part of the outfit togheter with the insignia that wears the old sami-color of green. The insignia is the old Sami flag, combined with the swedish one (and I'd made the yellow fade better together if, as I said, not for the arse site).
I'll make the one who depicts "me" later. I did my real-life conscription in Luleå Airbase, F21, as "Counter-Special-Operation-Forces"... Long name I know but it's the direct translation of "Flygbassäk". I was part of the K9 unit. My lore would basically be that the "me" of today would've been called up to F21 when the crisis began in earnest, and I'd flee to the archipelago with the surviving forces. My descendants would be part of the Dollavárri, whilst also bearing a slightly darker complexion and strong dark hair. Although not all would have brown eyes, since my fathers genes include berber blood (and they sometimes have blue eyes). So the "me" of year 90 would have my hair, but sami-blue eyes and somewhat dark complexion. It wouldn't be that noticeable but it'd stand out if he was standing next to those who would not share his genes. Being a bit of a pyromaniac myself he'd be extremely fierce, (somewhat) crazy, very loyal to his friends and unforgiving to his enemies. He'd be stubborn but not foolish, and quite the pragmatic even when forced to work with people he'd perceive as idiots. "Do what you can, with what you have, if you get nothing from it, at least you get a clean conscience" would be his old family motto. However his stubbornness and principal attitude would hinder him from ever gaining a commanding-rank; As he would blatantly show resent to any "superior" officer he'd deem as incompetent, cruel, or disloyal.
I would've added pyrotechnic grenades and other stuff but sadly the site I was using was arse so I was just content to leave it as it was before it crashed or something.

I like the idea of a sami cleansing unit being total badass. I'm just imagining several robed characters calmly and intently spitting hellfire on whatever stands taller than two feet, besides their own squad, with the occasional joik being whispered as the flames crackles and purges anything for the vile taint of trolls. Mmm.
Of course!
Their robes would flutter in the wind and the exhaust-shock-wave, with their masks giving of their fierce stare as flesh and trolls burn before them.
Whenever anyone of the unit would die, his of her funeral would be that of burning. The company would then sing a sad joik in memory of the fallen, but also one of pride. As to be part of their old legacy: "Fire saved us, fire consumes us, so that we can be part of that burning flame". It is their somewhat spiritual belief that when the dead become part of the fire, they carry that dead into combat with them. And when they spew fire, they do it with the fury of all their ancestors.
"Dollavárri never die, they only go to hell to regroup." - Mora proverb.

But its not like you can't improve or anything! I think my art sucks sometimes, but when you compare

this, it really puts things into perspective for me.(and yes, that is the same character)
So keep trying! Flounder around feeling useless! Cry a little! Stop comparing yourself to people who have been drawing consistently for a while. We all had stick figure stages.
Post by: ParanormalAndroid on May 25, 2015, 08:13:33 PM
We all had stick figure stages.Much as I love art, I'll resign myself to never being good at it. Not enough co-ordination. Again, thanks for the kind words, but I'll just do what Sunflower recommends and persuade someone else to draw a load of stuff for me. Easier that way too.
(And again, I'm just being all self-deprecating because it's what I do- not fishing for compliments/reassurance here.)

KicknRun - That's quite the development and I'm glad that you can see the improvement as well. Some artists are so self critical it gets in the way of fun and getting better, and everyone who draws from the heart is an artist! I hope you continue drawing and getting better because your stuff really has been improving and I know it will improve some more!

It's pretty exciting for me whenever another speaker pops up (as some people may have noticed - sorry guys)) Basically just saying that pictures start off rubbish but if you try that do get better, and if boyo is willing to wait until after I'm done with Curry's trade, and sketch a bit to give me an idea of what to do I'll draw something.Gah! Another Welsh speaker!

Piney: It makes me really happy you liked it so much ^___________________^
and everyone who commented on it, thank you lots and lots, I'm really happy with how it turned out!! I tried to go for, idk, the moment you realize you may have done a wrong choice, but you can't turn back and you won't turn back and you feel pretty lost and scared but also determined to see things through? But being haunted by the sight accordion trolls and cacophonous potato sacks works, too
KMK: if you want to make a self-insert character, you're free to do whatever wishfulfillment you want!
Daéa Reina: hahaha YES that's my troll
there have been a lot of really great drawings here the past few days, all of you are amazing, and WELCOME to new crewmembers, you look hecka awesome. Special mention to the sami cleanser, or more like HELL YES SAMI CLEANSER
and for those who don't draw, don't worry!! You can create a character anyway, someone will get around to drawing you at some point ^___________^ and even then, we're all pretty encouraging of people practicing their drawing, too :3c art evolution is Real and Beautiful

I really love the concept, and it's actually pretty in-character too!
And, um, I said I would finish yours on Monday but I was terribly unproductive so... I'm still on the lineart. :P
(Also I don't know how in-character it is, but I passed the point of no return long ago)

Well, I finally have something new!

SO, sorry I haven't been around--there's been some funky stuff going on with my college tuition so I haven't really been able to log in until now : \
Curry, I saw the pic--I love it! and stop beating yourself up over drawing my face so long before--seriously, my side-view that I originally posted looked kinda long anyways so its not your fault. If you don't stop I'll...throw Jabberwocky at you or something idk... xP
anyways, we're having a huge thunderstorm right now so I'm headed out to the gazebo with my sketchbook and some wine to enjoy some birthday lounging and watch my favourite local nature show (haha)
I'll try to get caught up on what you beautiful people have been doing when I get back inside (it's just too hard on my phone xP but I am gonna try)
right, off to finish my art trades--I've been having some trouble with positioning TT VTT there's this really cool pose I wanna do with Curry and a flamethrower that I just can't seem to get right--and every pose I try to do with Haiz requires me to draw articulate fingers @ A@ but imma do it!

Ahhh, I'm glad you like it :D I'll... actually, cats are really great, so maybe I'll stop apologizing for the sake of your adorable cat D: I can't wait to see what cool pose you get - and flamethrowers are IMPOSSIBLE. I drew one for Emil but ended up hiding the majority behind his back. SO COOL
Thunderstorms are my favorite thing and that sounds like a really nice way to finish up the day! (or wait, I don't know your time zone. spend?? the day??) Happy birthday!

Asdfghasdfs honestly it's less the pose I'm having issues with and more the position of the flamethrower...and the flamethrower itself xP
Yes, flamethrowers are SUPER impossible @ A@
And I'm unfortunately going to have to wait until later to try and get more done on it
Inspiration struck for the one I'm doing for Haiz so I'm trying to ride that wave as long as I can xP
And yeah, the storm was awesome
Alas, it only lasted from like 1pm(ish)-3pm(ish) so I'm back inside now = 3=

Augh, yes, I referenced the one on Emil so heavily I probably can't actually take credit for it. Ah well. Thank you, Google Images. And that's entirely alright! I understand that wayyyy too well, ahaha... Ride that inspiration wave into the sand >:D They're rare, take advantage of it while it lasts!
Oh nooo! We had a really big storm last night, and our street flooded a little bit, but that's normal since I live at approximately 1 foot above sea level (.3 meters) and the swamp next to my house isn't very good at absorbing any more water (it's already underwater 100% of the time, soooo)

I drew this today! I kinda have Problems with it, and you can see I attempted shading. (or you can't)
But at least I got to draw Alexis with her swords, finally. And the pose is kinda wonky because I did the pose breakdowns on Friday, before I had my first real Artist Burnout. (they are not fun)

Her great-grandmother was in Sweden as a tourist at first, then the rash hit. By the time she has a child, the gods have already taken notice, and my grandmothers magic is a bit wonked up. My grandmother has a lot of kids, and none of them have magic. (Maybe their kids do, not touching on that). My twin sisters are born, and instead of seeing spirits, they see the future(possibly why they left? iDK. ) My brother is born- no magic. Alexis is born- she sees spirits.
About the aligned thing, the magic started wonking up. People in Sweden who had "magic genes" , a.k.a Alexis family, lost the attention from the source of their magic when the shrine to ancestors was lost in the Outbreak of 37(long story, look at page 123). But the "magic genes" were still there, just standing around and being junk. So another two generations later, magic starts reappearing (not sure what is so interesting about my sisters that the gods took notice, but here we are).
This is kinda an-off-the-wall theory, but I wanted Alexis to still have a connection to her heritage. And now she is an untrained mage. She has the idea of what magic is about from some of her grandmother's journals from after the outbreak, but her grandmother really got that many encounters with mages, and some of those mages didn't know much either, so she is completely untrained. (if her magic does show itself, her it tires her out alot, and it pretty much always ends in (metaphorical) blood, because runos are a far better way to focus your magic, and because she is taking energy from herself.
Welp, this ended up way longer then expected.

OMG I love it! //hugs//
The pose is awesome! And my hair is so fwoosh--and don't even get me started on the Jabberwocky at the bottom--that expression xD
There's too much new and amazing stuff on this thread to comment on everything, so congratulations to everyone!! You're all so very creative!

Asdfghasdfs you make me look so confident and cool~
And you totally got it right! You even got the zipped-up-collar part that I always seem to end up drawing (you made it look better that I did too)
And the unamused look on Jabbers's face--perfect!
Omg I know what you mean about guns. Their right up there with drawing flamethrowers for me--but yours looks pretty impressive :)
Thank you both so much! I'm gonna add these to the folder I have in my new flashdrive along with Curry's--I wanna make sure I save every bit of art depicting my insert--an somehow typing that out made me feel like a dragon hoarding treasure
Now I'm babbling because I'm so happy with everyone's trades so I'm gonna stop and try to finish the one for Curry
Thanks again, you three! TT wTT

Aww, look, it's a baby blartypus. It looks cuddly.XD I guess it does? lol
H-how did you draw it so cute? How's that even possible? :-*? I randomly want to hug my own trollsona despite originally designing it as un-huggable as possible!XD U welcome? XD
(...baby blartypus...)
lol
good to know the weird attempt to draw Laufey's trolsona in chibi style has been apreciated XD

I drew only people's sonas of people who drew mine. is ok. I wouldn't have remmember eather if i wouldn't have chek before :PAhh okay!! I just wanted to make sure that I hadn't started an art trade and forgotten entirely @_@ I'm... I'm rather good at forgetting things, I must say
so you own me nothing ;)
Post by: Daéa Reina on May 28, 2015, 07:22:27 PM
Asdfghasdfs you make me look so confident and cool~
And you totally got it right! You even got the zipped-up-collar part that I always seem to end up drawing (you made it look better that I did too)
And the unamused look on Jabbers's face--perfect!
Omg I know what you mean about guns. Their right up there with drawing flamethrowers for me--but yours looks pretty impressive :)
Thank you both so much! I'm gonna add these to the folder I have in my new flashdrive along with Curry's--I wanna make sure I save every bit of art depicting my insert--an somehow typing that out made me feel like a dragon hoarding treasure
Now I'm babbling because I'm so happy with everyone's trades so I'm gonna stop and try to finish the one for Curry
Thanks again, you three! TT wTT
I'm so glad you liked it! :D
I think we are all dragons in this forum, because I have a folder to save SSSS fanart that I like and other stuff (lots of Dood Leordies), so... Maybe it is the dragon sickness??
[cute art]
I'll just repeat everyone else: it's so cuute! Specially chibi-Laufey! Now she can participate in the cute trolls rap battles for the Supreme Crown of Adorableness.

And I don't know if we are that similar in real life, but our SSSS-sonas really look alike.
Lol, I wonder. They do look a lot alike xD Long lost twins.
Tabea and Daéa, if you make a story about your self-inserts really being long lost twins that would be kind of amazing and kind of hilarious

sorry about how messy it is, Curry--but I have finally finished! ;D
I totally wanted to have you holding two flamethrowers...but I could't seem to get the second one right so I had to go to plan B before the eraser-marks got even darker TT vTT
the eraser marks under the flames lend a fairly nice effect, though...

There's too much new and amazing stuff on this thread to comment on everything, so congratulations to everyone!! You're all so very creative!Both of these look really good! :D

Omg that's awesome O vO
Also, have you tried watching a bunch of videos on them? I'm just assuming you're drawing the falcons, and that always seems to help me get a handle on how a certain animal's anatomy and stuff works :\
Like, watching how they move and stuff in-flight or taking off...

Well anyway, here I am with my art trade with Curry :) My reasoning was that since Karri was both a cleanser and likes science that they'd probably be able to create their own fireworks. Also, pretty sure Karri can get down fine from the balcony of the burning building, but don't you guys try this at home!

(as for the hair, it actually DID look fine in the lineart, but for some reason the painting messed it up :-\ - which is weird, because that's actually the opposite of what happens usually - and I also forgot the flamethrower until about halfway though painting… buuuuut seeing as I'm really bad at weapons it probably looks better without anyway)

It's fine! Since when I first saw it, I started rolling around on my bed so hard I nearly fell off. I don't have much to say about uniform inaccuracy, except from the black thing in the hood. And I applaud you on the skirt. That is more strands then I would ever draw. And cape/cloak thingy is missing, but that is optional.

"nope, no nuh uh, no way, get it out or at least keep it away from me, it's giving me nightmares. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S TINY, GET RID OF IT!"
it would be the most talking he did at one time and for half of it he'd be yelling in Finnish while most other folks don't even speak it.

Don't suspect the tiny person with access to explosives. She did nothing wrong, nope.
but blorptroll is pretty hilarious. Just the matter of how she would kill it without anybody knowing it was her. That might be a problem.

ack, this post is long enough as is: Curry, koalalou and Gwenno: those are some really good arts you've got there!!! Love Karri's star cape and FLOMF HAIR. Love what you did with Alexis' skirt. The fireworks and building climbing reminds me of Mulan, for some reason. Which is a good thing because I love mulan
as for mary sue-ness, I don't think my magesona really qualifies, ze's too much based on myself to really be one. Unless... I am the mary sue..................

It's... so... beautiful. By beautiful I mean perfect. And by perfect I mean that combination of creepiness and humanity is awesome and so disturbing - I'm agreeing someone probably finally managed to silence the blorp, my troll has sensitive ears to begin with so that "? bLEsseD LacK oF NOiSe ?"-look would totally happen.

Laufey: That badminton pic is beautiful 8,D
Gwenno: I really like all the action going on! :D
koalalou: It looks really neat :) I like how you drew her outfit!
Curry: Wow, that's one cool outfit :) For some reason I love the fur tufts sticking out from the gloves ^^

omg I kept erasing things and you can totally tell
sorry about how messy it is, Curry--but I have finally finished! ;D
I totally wanted to have you holding two flamethrowers...but I could't seem to get the second one right so I had to go to plan B before the eraser-marks got even darker TT vTT
the eraser marks under the flames lend a fairly nice effect, though...
!!!!! Oh my god this is AWESOME! I agree, the eraser marks under the flames are really cool and that kind of makes me want to try that out somewhere! I have no idea where, but... eventuallyyyyyy
Well gosh, there's a lot to comment on here and I hardly know where to start! I think maybe I'll have to just give my blanket compliments to all the pretty arts and the funny concepts rather than try to comment on everything that I've missed, which is a shame because this whole thread gets me smiling each time I read it, and it would be nice to comment on each of the gazillion individual things ^_^
Well anyway, here I am with my art trade with Curry :) My reasoning was that since Karri was both a cleanser and likes science that they'd probably be able to create their own fireworks. Also, pretty sure Karri can get down fine from the balcony of the burning building, but don't you guys try this at home!
(http://img11.deviantart.net/f7ea/i/2015/149/1/5/enjoying_the_view_by_mursen-d8v7s9w.jpg)
(as for the hair, it actually DID look fine in the lineart, but for some reason the painting messed it up :-\ - which is weird, because that's actually the opposite of what happens usually - and I also forgot the flamethrower until about halfway though painting… buuuuut seeing as I'm really bad at weapons it probably looks better without anyway)
This is SO CUTE!!! *squirrels away to treasure trove* Also, the fireworks detail is really cool and now that HAS to be a thing that happens!
During a Very Serious Mission:
"Karri, why is that fire pink"
"I dunno. Magic."
"Karri, why is the fire pink."
"..."
"Karri-"
"Okay fine I was testing out prototypes for fireworks. Don't judge me. Maybe it'll confuse the trolls LEAVE ME ALONE"
...ahahaha, it's official. Flamethrowers seem to be the bane of everybody's existence, but it looks great without it!! Thank you so much! I actually started doing the final sketch yesterday for yours, so it will be here... soooooon ;)
just got back from sushi and somehow this happened while I was waiting for my food...Yoooo these are really cool and that second one is hilarious! Double flamethrowers and a wink ;)

Post by: Fimbulvarg on May 30, 2015, 10:54:00 AM
well my cleanser has gradually been getting more and more mage powers, but at least they lost that skill eventually so maybe not??
I mean... their mage outfit is pretty ridiculous. Speaking of which........... I finished it

And of course, you have all the warmth of the coldest place in the universe (?)
Well, actually, a big problem with space (at least the part we've been in) is that it's *simultaneously* too hot and too cold. It'll instantly freeze-dry anything you put in it, but heat is actually a bigger problem for spacecraft designers. Basically, if you don't cover it in reflective foil and/or something white and/or something that won't conduct heat through whatever bits of it are touching the craft, a spacecraft will absorb so much heat from the unimpeded rays of the sun that it will become uninhabitable and possibly fry the electronics or other components. And none of that heat can radiate off into the outside air because, well, there *is* none. So, for example, when the heat shield on Skylab (the American precursor to the International Space Station) tore off during launch, the first crew had to put up a foil parasol to keep the plastic insulation inside the station from melting (which would make a whole bunch of icky poisonous gases) and also to keep themselves from getting broiled.
Tl;dr: Space is cold, but things you put in space get really hot, really fast if they're anywhere near a star.

See, Karri kind of knows what they're talking about... SCIENCE
And RedCloud, (time for ridiculous oversimplification) most of space is very, very cold, but the particles are spread very far apart, so if something's really hot (like a star), there's not much to spread the heat around and chill it out. Summary, it all depends on where you are!

And none of that heat can radiate off into the outside air because, well, there *is* none.Actually radiation is the kind of getting rid of heat that does work in vacuum, while convection and thermal conductivity fall flat on their faces.
...so the space is hot and cold at the same time? //It's really lost//To be precise, it is simultaneously cold and good at keeping stuff thermally insulated. Hence, as soon as there's something heating your spacecraft up - from solar irradiation to the spacecraft's own systems running -, your problem will cease to be "it's pretty cold out here" and start to be "how can we get rid of the excess heat?" really fast.

BlorpAlarm sounds like something that's not actually an alarm but something you toss in your flatmate's room when their alarm clock has successfully woken up absolutely everyone else but them. I once had a flatmate like that and I would have probably considered giving a kidney for a blorptroll...

Ooooh yes do it!! And Karri actually has about the same level of mage-ness. They used to be more magey as a kid, but gradually lost it as they got older until they can only access the dreamworld when there is a ton of mage activity around them, something that doesn't really happen in atheist Sweden where they work. So!! Whatever everybody ends up doing on the trip would probably be the first time they dreamworlded in a veeeery long time, ahah

So!! Whatever everybody ends up doing on the trip would probably be the first time they dreamworlded in a veeeery long time, ahah
Hey! I see Alexis's magic how a lot of people see Reynir's- powerful but untrained.Maybe she could trigger Karri's mage powers or something.

Lol I can see my SI having a dream-gap too, though her's would likely be more from a bad experience as a child that caused some mild insomniac-ish tendencies that cut down on a lot of her dreaming :p

Do we need to hear this story? ;)
I think we do need to hear this story.Haha, silly timezones and sleeping though another page of stuff :P Chances are that you've all come up with a waaaay more interesting version of events in that time than actually happened. Long story short it was during Aikido practice and I was training with a beginner - Me: "hey, that space over there is empty try to flip me in that direction when you do the technique" -Gwenno is flipped-, unfortunately one of the other groups had exactly the same idea about empty space a few milliseconds later and the astrophysicist is thrown on top of me (the guy is of a Mikkel-esque build and a good foot and a bit taller than me so - ouch!)
BlorpAlarm sounds like the kind of thing you'd have in the military for initiations and trolling superior officers. Duct tape its mouth (which should keep it quiet for a few minutes hopefully) and quietly deposit it in the sleeping unfortunate's room :P I can almost seeing it becoming the unofficial mascot of a cleansing team actually……

Post by: AquaAurion on May 31, 2015, 06:20:24 AM
It could work like the dreamworld of Wheel of time (Tel'aran'rhiod) where ordinary people would drop in unawares for short moments, believing they were dreaming for real, and then drop out again, just continue dreaming as usual. Only the gifted could actually stay there, or bring anyone they wanted to as well.Oh, that sounds neat :D
...kind of an explanation/excuse anyway. If you want a dreamworld/mage outfit, make one!
And if I may: I hope you're ok with me dragging this one up, Haiz, it just fit sooo perfectly! ;) I'll delete it if you want to!
My headcanon is that normal people can get there, but they will appear ghost-like (or like will-o'-the-wisp dependent on latent magical abilities) with no powers and they will only remember it as a really fuzzy dream.

(And I dunno about the mage thing... Heck, do we even know Reynir believes in magic?)Iceland has an official academy teaching that stuff, he'ld need to be pretty clueless about his own nation to dismiss the entire concept.
(For all we know, some of his siblings going places and killing interesting stuff might be mages. The Dagrenning guys would be outright stupid to not welcome mages as donors, and we've seen too many instances of "magic's running in this family" for it not to be at least partly hereditary.)
some people have more, ahem, practical uses for [blorptroll], and some people just want to kick it down the stair for making all that noise. The other trolls will be happy to see it go, anyhowMy mind keeps coming up with the German term Fußhupe whenever it's mentioned. ::)

also Almond-Goddess you have no idea how in awe and totally jelly I am of your bird-drawing capabilities--if I ever see you drawing detailed bird wings (I have this obsession over them) I may just convert my religion
Laufey yesssss do eeeeet I wanna see the accordion fez
also---I may have started drawing one of the many designs for my dream-world outfit
somehow it turned into me being dressed in denim overalls like I used to wear when I was a kid (though to be fair I'd wear them if I had a pair that fit me now) with plaid bits flowing off the sides, a plaid almost-shawl (what would that actually be called?) braids in my hair, and bare feet with bangles on my arms and ankles
I shall clink-clink-clink as I skip my way through the water
I think I'll be keeping the bare feet and bangles for most of my designs xD
Spoiler: show
this is, of course, just a preliminary sketch
I'll be finding my inking pens (or a black pen at the very least) and coloured pencils for the voting--and extending the plaid bits on the legs, maybe the not-shawl-thing too--make them look almost ethereal in contrast to the very not-ethereal outfit xD

- i also added some hairstyle drawings, because my hairstyle is like. let it grow until I can't handle it anymore and cut it short - repeat cycle. so there is no 'canon hairlength' except for never longer than shoulder length, and always fringe.This is my life. I have been in a state of hair limbo since 9th grade: my hair goes from pixie cut to just past shoulder length, with bangs that fwoosh to the side or hang in my face like an alpaca! (°w°)
SO YEAH that is me, good night

IMPORTANT: curry found me some actual live footage of the blorptroll (http://roxxxylalonde.tumblr.com/post/120409504738/jennilah-noodle-nut-bendface)
OMG, the blorptroll lives!
I suppose a plushie is just a matter of time.

Now, you just have to learn not to mix "stun enemies by shifting" with "stun friends by shifting". :P
*imagines the whole battlefield going silent for a minute, while everyone's gawking in awe at the unimaginable, bloodthirsty war-creature, proudly standing before all of them. A lonely fly flies through between everyone, it's camera buzzing quietly, as it shoots photos of the bow, then leaving with the next tourist-tumbleweed (driven by a drunken cricket), treasuring fond memories and collected troll intestines*
*the fight starts again, when Fim smacks their opponent on the - without a better word, let's call it "neck" -, stating that staring is rude. Then stares at it with a smirk*

For some reason I found this way too funny, and even doodled my own ssssona doing the same thing with her fluffy hood, before I realised that the thread has moved on...
Oh well! Here, have a messy sketch of a slightly grumpy Swedish scout trying to protect herself from the cold/human interaction by using her hood and a scarf.

Yes, and a little bit squishy! Not too much, otherwise they wouldn't roll, and might potentially be dangerous. They're just not hard plastic like real hamster balls.

It's crazy, man. 8) Things have taken on a life of their own (including Haiz's blorptroll, which now has its very own Magical Girl AU persona). Kjeks and I have been invested with Admin powers, and we've got a slew of new members. I can't even keep up with all the promotions.
So what's up with you? Did I hear something about Crater Lake? Any mysteriously crashed Russian planes there?

Fuzzy hoods are the best~ x3
Hmmm I should try a design with a fuzzy hood
I've got three already that I can't quite decide on--inked but not coloured
I'll post them in a little bit--hang on

(http://pre01.deviantart.net/176f/th/pre/i/2015/153/f/6/image_by_skipperlou-d8vq3oz.jpg)
So, this top image I like the best so far. Its cute, and practical--and it reminds me of all the farming/fishing/coal mining history that Cape Breton has. And since, in my head, that's where I think my SSSS-sona would have grown up because I think it could have survived to Y90 as a safe area--the overalls make a lot of sense to me. The not-shawl bit and the long bits on the legs would be plaid--specifically that of the Clan McKinnon's tartan--bare feet because for some reason I always like walking in bare feet the most--and in a dream/dreamworld I'd feel more confident about walking around in bare feet everywhere xD
the bare feet and bangles are going to be a thing--i love the idea of clink-clink-clinking my way through the dreamworld--and I'm one of those people who feels naked without their jewellery xD
(http://pre00.deviantart.net/d773/th/pre/i/2015/153/1/9/image_by_skipperlou-d8vq3qb.jpg)
The sash on this one would of course be my family's tartan, the dress kinda makes me think of an old-style-esque farm dress almost? idk exactly but BreezeLouise likes this one a lot. Bare feet and bangles again, plus the same locket that will be appearing in all the outfits.
(http://pre08.deviantart.net/71f9/th/pre/i/2015/153/1/5/image_by_skipperlou-d8vq3nw.jpg)
I like this one the most for its cape (family plaid)--and I can't remember what all else I was going to say about the outfit. Oops?
so, I think I already mentioned that I'd come up with at least three outfits and not be able to decide. Well, while writing all this out I had an idea for a fourth.
I'm never going to be able to decide on a dreamworld outfit at this rate @ A@
Post by: AquaAurion on June 02, 2015, 11:32:11 AM
I think all of your outfits are pretty, but I think I prefer the first one :) It's simple and sweet and I love what you did with the shawl-thingy ;D
Post by: Curry on June 02, 2015, 11:49:00 AM
koalalou, I really like the first and last ones :o They're all great designs, but those ones seem really dreamy to me. (huehuehue) The sash and cape are really cool touches and have I ever said how much I love how you draw fabric? I love how you draw fabric. It's so flowy and beautiful!

So I've never actually drawn myself, not to mention in the style of a self insert or anything, but discovering SSSS has opened a barrel of many many firsts for me (making a comment on an internet thing, posting on forums, sharing my art with people, and drawing fan art just to name a few) and I thought why not another first? So I drew a magesona (I learned a new word today! :D) and I thought I would share it to see what you guys thought. It's not finished yet, I still have to fix a thing or two and add some colour (which is why the eyes might look a bit odd), but without further ado:

But yes, that is a good mahoshona. Lacks a tiara but that's not important.shoot, I knew I forgot something important. If I ever draw it again (which I might), I'll add one.
also...... drawing a whole magical transformation would be really cool............ but if I will get the opportunity to do that any time soon, I don't know...........

Dayum. I'm a little bit startled by how an idle joke developed into this, but mostly impressed and somewhat dazzled by the amazingly creative stuff that's being thrown around.
I told you not to point inspiration at people, now see what can happen. :P
(Glorious things, that's what.)

Feartheviolas: that's a really nice drawing!!! welcome to the mage squad, you seem to be an icelandic one... will you be at the academy of seidur?
Thanks! I'll post a colour version of it when it's finished. I have to decide whether I want (or am physically capable of) to colour it digitally or not first though. And yes! I will be at the academy :)

“Hey, Kick!”
“Yeah?”
“Have you ever watched a magical girl anime?”
“Uh,sure!…like one episode.”
I'm gonna have to redraw this, because this was procrastination art, which I drew while I was procrastinating. But I like how the shading on the skirt came out. And, no, my hair does not actually work like that, it just looked very space princess to me.

All these things you guys have made are really amazing and wonderful! I love looking at all of them. :)
So I've never actually drawn myself, not to mention in the style of a self insert or anything, but discovering SSSS has opened a barrel of many many firsts for me (making a comment on an internet thing, posting on forums, sharing my art with people, and drawing fan art just to name a few) and I thought why not another first? So I drew a magesona (I learned a new word today! :D) and I thought I would share it to see what you guys thought. It's not finished yet, I still have to fix a thing or two and add some colour (which is why the eyes might look a bit odd), but without further ado:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/BZKTzTT7n4b5hmqaxakZ1x6z6MOrpwQjihHmpgDRc8U=w472-h631-no)
This looks great! I've added a slide (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit?pli=1#slide=id.g58ce971fe_3_0) for you on the Infodump - it looks a bit bare right now, but we can update it as you add extra information. I can't wait to see what your 'sona looks like when it's coloured and finished ;)
Kauniita: floff
indeed.
and damn there's so many magical girl/troll ocs now, they all look so cute ans sparkly and ughhhh
I wish I had the time to do one of my own, but alas it cannot be ;-;

Oh hi! *waves timidly*
Sooo this is my SSSSelf-insert, her name is Alice V (yes, that is her full name) and she can be a cool person once you get to know her. She gets a bit nervous when meeting new people, though ^_^"
(http://i.imgur.com/bVDPCA1.png?1)
Name:..........................Alice V
Age:...................................17
Nationality:..............Norwegian
Area of Birth:...............Aurland
Gender:.......................Female
Immunity:.........................Yes
Profession: Mage, Knife thrower
Languages:................... :norway: :iceland:
A little backstory: Alice was born in Norway in Year 73, raised by her Ma and Pa, but because of some complications her father and Alice had to move to Reykjavik where he continued being skald (mother stayed behind since she was a Troll Hunter Captain and couldn't abandon her team). Alice was 10 years old at the time and still very innocent, until a couple years later she saw a very faint vision in her dream of something devastating. Although these visions seldom happened, her Pa took her to the Academy of Seiður just to make sure, and yes, the administrators found a faint but potential power between Alice and the runes.
And yay! Alice V is now an Icelandic Mage in training, soon to become the Bestest of the Best, throwing knives, killing all the trolls and taking back the Silent Lands of her home country. I mean, how hard can it be? :D
-Is a very nervous person until you have something in common with her, then she goes all gaga over you
-throws knives (and sometimes other objects(especially when she's mad))
-has to cook for not only herself but her Pa
-heh and you would think in her big pouch Alice would have a bunch of runes or necessary things for survival? Nope. She has a kitty plushie instead
-She sews all her clothes, but not very good at it (which is why you can still see the stitches on them)
-has read every single thing that her Pa has written/transcribed/published, so yes Alice is very very smart
-the little necklace she wears was passed down from generations to generations, mother to daughter

Post by: Sunflower on June 04, 2015, 01:36:27 AM
So a bit of discussion in the comments indicates wildling or changeling, depending on region could be used as a term for anyone who lives or lived outside cleansed areas.
I'm going to be a word nerd, but I personally wouldn't use the term "changeling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling)."
Historically, that was used to refer to children taken by the fairies in European legends -- either the human children taken (as in this poem by Yeats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stolen_Child)), or the inferior, not-quite-human substitutes the fairies left in exchange. (From an anthropological standpoint, changeling tales probably were an attempt to explain special-needs children -- autistic, dwarfed, made blind or deaf by childhood illness, etc.)
"Wildling" as it's used in "A Game of Thrones" sounds like a very good match for your concept -- people who could be any combination of outcasts, criminals, savages, foreigners, or cooperating with Dark Powers (White Walkers in "Thrones," Rash-Monsters here).
If you don't want to use that term, maybe "barbarians"? "Silent Folk"? "Illegals"?

It's pretty much fully up-to-date right now because I spent an hour and a half going through 90 pages to get all the new SSSSonas and their languages added to the Language Chart, which can be found on the fourth page right here (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit?usp=sharing)!

If you don't want to use that term, maybe "barbarians"? "Silent Folk"? "Illegals"?Hermit, ranger, bushwalker, pioneer, trapper, loner, ... I'm pretty sure that there are similar terms to be found in the Nordic languages themselves, too.
(LEO translates "Einödbauer" as "isolated farmer", is that actually in use?)
If you're looking for a term that specifically expresses the view that people living in Y90 safe areas would have on such people, I'm sure that they'ld be willing to use all sorts of synonyms of "crazy" and "suicidal". ;)

Cleanser in training, has (a lot of)magic. It tends to manifest itself if she's really angry with intent to hurt, and its completely uncontrolled,because nobody is around to teach her how to channel it properly. (And whenever it happens she kinda just drops to the groud b/c hot damn was that exhausting), so yeah. Cleanser-in-training, untrained mage.

(And whenever it happens she kinda just drops to the groud b/c hot damn was that exhausting), so yeah. Cleanser-in-training, untrained mage.
Kick explains everything without explaining anything.
^me explaining anything
However I will update the slide then! :D

I'm going to be a word nerd, but I personally wouldn't use the term "changeling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling)."
Historically, that was used to refer to children taken by the fairies in European legends -- either the human children taken (as in this poem by Yeats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stolen_Child)), or the inferior, not-quite-human substitutes the fairies left in exchange. (From an anthropological standpoint, changeling tales probably were an attempt to explain special-needs children -- autistic, dwarfed, made blind or deaf by childhood illness, etc.)
"Wildling" as it's used in "A Game of Thrones" sounds like a very good match for your concept -- people who could be any combination of outcasts, criminals, savages, foreigners, or cooperating with Dark Powers (White Walkers in "Thrones," Rash-Monsters here).
If you don't want to use that term, maybe "barbarians"? "Silent Folk"? "Illegals"?
Fair enough, Wildling it is.

Aren't you kinda young to be throwing around metal sticks of death

Maybe I'm not to young for that because I used a gun when I was 4 (my parents were there too)

Colours are not messed up at all don't be silly it is just too awesome *eeeeeeekkk* thank you so much Curry!

And there's more magical girls! Haiz and AquaAurion, those are fab! :D

Also, koalalou, that is an ADORABLE magical girl design! I love how not even Jabberwocky could escape the kawaii. Alllllll the hearts and glitter :D
Also, I felt like I had to step up my art trade game and you know, also improve my handle of dynamic poses, the usual v__v

Ahhh Gwenno I'm glad you like it! I LOVE both your magical girl SSSSona and the reaction to blorptroll (still sitting here giggling quietly...)Heh, glad it got a few giggles ^_^ and boy I still can't get over how much I like the picture even after a few hours :P
Ahaha, yeah, as I was drawing it I was thinking "this is an incredibly stupid idea and nobody should ever do anything like this" which means 30% more in-character for an overenthusiastic troll huntress, I guess 8)
"this is an incredibly stupid idea and nobody should ever do anything like this" should be my sona's definition of what's a good way to use up free time to be honest…
Haiz - I would be up for a proper trade, buuuut as of this moment it looks like you've got *counts* four people asking for trades and adding another on your plate would be something I wouldn't feel like inflicting on you today :P maybe when you get another batch of free time (you're just too good at drawing and everyone wants to trade with you!)
Laufey - Your watercolours are so pretty! How does one make a snake skeleton troll thing look pretty?!?! The magesona also looks pretty cool, but that's a tad less surprising :)

Been meaning to ask, been feeling kinda shy, but since I'd already offered myself up for another with Haiz I was feeling at bit braver : p
And thanks! I'd been keeping that pose unfinished, wondering what I could use it for--then the epiphany hit me xD

Oooooh yes I'd be very up for this (please don't be shy, your art is so tidy and lifelike and lovely)!!!! I'm nearly finished doing *the thing* (will post it tomorrow when I'm done - it will be quite impressive I promise!), which means more time for art trades, and your 'sona and kitty would be so fun to draw ;D

Her name is Madeline Christensen. She's of both Swedish and Danish descent, but was born in Denmark, so she speaks Danish. She has studied Icelandic, but is better at translating it on paper than in conversation. She wanted to be a skald or translator, but decided to run away at 14 for an adventure and somehow ended up in the Silent World. She'll go back eventually, but for the time being she is exploring, collecting, and foraging. She lives in an old abandoned house- it's in such bad shape she's surprised it hasn't come down on her head, but she lives there because that makes it a terrible home for trolls. She has a sword and two daggers that she found in the Silent World, and a gun that she stole before she left, but uses the blades more often to save ammo. She wears black clothes in layers for warmth, camouflage, and because she thinks it looks cool. She doesn't wear her glasses when fighting trolls, beasts, or giants because she is paranoid that they'll break and she'll get glass in her eye.
Edit: I realized I didn't give her current age. She's 16.

Spoiler: show
Martine Aarberg
Age:...................18
Nationality:..........Norwegian
Area of Birth:........Svolvær
Gender:...............Female
Immunity:............Yes
Profession:...........Troll Hunter
Language:............Norwegian, Icelandic
- Mom is a medic and midwife, and teaches other medics. Father is a builder, with some sami blood. Her grandfather and uncle on her mother's side are both hunters, which is what inspired her to join the military. Oldest of four siblings; two girls, two boys.
- Is quite small (158cm) and not very heavy. Has problems handing big guns due to the recoil.
- Usually sticks to guns when fighting. Keeps two one-handed battle axes in case of close-range combat, in which she will gladly dual-wield them. Usually avoids close combat. Also has a lot of knives stored everywhere.
- Puts her hair up in a bun when it's time to work. When the bun is up, things are serious.
- Hoarder. Only keeps things that are necessary, but everything can probably be useful one day...
- Believes in the ancient gods.
- Androgynous. Often mistaken for a boy by children and elderly people.
- Loves her stuff. Will resent people who borrow her things without asking or shows little respect for her property in other way.
- Not too poorly educated, mostly because of her mother. Only knows bits of information here and there, however.
- Terrified of women giving birth. There's something about the screams.
- Patriotic. Pretends to dislike people from big settlements/cities (doesn't), from the south (doesn't) or Sweden (doesn't).
- Natural hair colour is dark brown (can be drawn black). The top is dyed, probably by mystical magical means provided by Haiz.
- Really stubborn and suffers from a mild inferiority complex due to her height, left-handedness and not very strong physique, so she makes up for it by being sarcastic and playing tough.
- Talks with her entire body. Lots of facial expressions and hand gestures.
- Likes to draw and read. (Reads anything she gets her hands on, really. Thanks, mom!) Also enjoys fishing, which always reminds her of her grandfather.
- That one friend who is always on Spider Duty, ready to remove all the gross insects. She's not very squeamish.
Will probably edit some of the info later. Just posting this before going to bed~ The drawings are some sketches I cleaned up or lined digitally before colouring. Haven't touched my tablet in a year or so, so this was a challenge. I usually stick to traditional stuff .v.
A lot of the info is taken from/inspired by myself, and the surname is in my family but I don't have it in my name. The beginning of Aarberg (Aa) is pronounced Å, for those who want to know.
Hope you guys like her (me?)! ;v; aaaa i just hope i don't seem really OP or something??

This is super neat! Actually, her outfit makes me think vaguely 'French' for no apparent reason, but my brain is a strange place so we'll just move on...

Oh, I love it :D I really like the simplicity of it and how coordinated it feels :) Did she use to have wings?

RandomTexan: I'm pretty sure you can draw, but as you will. I'll probably take you up on that offer as soon as I can get enough written detail so the character's more than a stickman with long hair.
Curry: The same applies, only I'm *most certain* that you can draw, but I need to get some proper written detail so you actually get it.
(Did I start an art duel?)
(I think I did)
Anyway, watch this me-shaped space and I'll get back to both of you, probably via PM so I don't embarrass myself too much.
Also, thanks for taking pity on someone who genuinely cannot draw anything past stickmen!

Always glad to see a new face!I just did a MASSIVE clean-up of my room and I found birthday cards from like... four years ago oTL
I relate to the hoarding thing so. much. My pocket litter ... :P
Hey hey, more tiny lefties!
No, you're not OP. I mean, everybody here has various awesome skills. She looks pretty cool.
I mean, she's not particularly good at troll hunting and stuff and she's/I'm not that cool, so I just hope I don't come off a lot cooler than I am. Although I probably think I'm a bit cooler than I actually am already ::)
Then we both had this 'aha' moment where I looked at the half-body go Martine with her hair up and went 'Sokka?' then had to mentally smack myself for the nerd moment... YOU'RE RIGHT THO IT DOES LOOK LIKE SOKKA
but omg I love your style--I can't wait to see more from you!
Thank you! I have no idea what my style is (except not consistent in style or quality), sometimes I draw more realistic than this but I can't draw realistic stuff digitally to save my life. I've so much great art here I can't wait to be a part of it! ;v;
Tiny lefties unite! She's adorable and sounds awesome! I love the hair :)Looks like there's a lot of tiny lefties here :D Thanks, I started bleaching it IRL not too long ago and I really like it myself ;v; (although I still frown when people call me blonde. takes a while to get used to, I guess)
North, I will add your information in a little bit! (I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE HHH)!!!!! Thank you! AAAA I always get really happy when people like my stuff ;v; (warning it's not very consistent in any way)
North: Such a little cutie :D I like your style!Thank you so much! ;v; really really tiny cutie
EEEI AM THE WARRIOR. IT IS ME
behold, the WARRIOR WOLF-BUN
I'm sure the hairdye incident went something like Haiz being all "hmrmmhmhmh why do people mistake HER gender all the time?? why can't people be confused about MY appearance? why is it always young lady at me? I'll... no, don't zap her. definitely don't zap her. she seems cool. you should befriend her. don't zap-"dude that's totally how it went
*zaps*
"oh NO
oh nOOOOOO what did I do
wait it looks cool
it looks really cool actually
........I have to befriend her now"
also p sure i LOVED the hair and that's how we became friends

North - What is this? Another troll hunter from Svolvær? BESTIES!!!!!! (Or rivals I guess, both are pretty fun :P ) I agree with the others in that your style is super cool, and you seem to have a pretty fleshed out ssssona there so I look forwards to seeing more of your stuff ^_^
Keeper - Yesssss, emerge from the margins of notebooks and join us! I really like to outfit, seems like it would be just the thing for staying nice and warm and safe in the silent world

Anyway, finally finished and I hope people like how they were drawn ;D It's sorta in alphabetical order except for the new people who just got placed wherever I was at the time, and Melusine who doesn't have a slide in the info dump yet so ended up at the end :(
Poses got better and more creative as it went along so sorry to the people at the start of the alphabet. Also sorry to the people who were drawn while I was binge-listening to eurovision music, erm, those ones turned out a bit weird…..

North - What is this? Another troll hunter from Svolvær? BESTIES!!!!!! (Or rivals I guess, both are pretty fun :P )YESS! I just wanted to be from as far north as I could, tbh. I'm actaully from an area right next to Senja, but seems like there's not much left of Northern Norway :(
Maybe a mix of both? Nothing wrong with some friendly competition eve
I agree with the others in that your style is super cool, and you seem to have a pretty fleshed out ssssona there so I look forwards to seeing more of your stuff ^_^Thank you so much! ;v; I am used to making characters, although not fandom-related, and this time it was really easily with background/personality/random info as I could just pick stuff from my life. The charm of self-inserts!
I took a look at your character from the SSSSona Infodump, and she looks really cool as well!! They/we should definitely go hunting together sometime.

YESS! I just wanted to be from as far north as I could, tbh. I'm actaully from an area right next to Senja, but seems like there's not much left of Northern Norway :(Heheh, I can imagine it being something along the lines of Legolas and Gimli having their competition to see how many orcs/trolls they had killed, and a gradual escalation in stupidity as we try to outdo each other. The trolls around Svolvær are probably terrified, and with very good reason :P (the regular people might be slightly worried as well tbh)….. yeah, I think I'll probably end up drawing that once my art trades are done. I'm starting to get real bad at resisting the urge to draw all the cool things ::)

I like it a lot. 8) I'm really looking forward to drawing more, I have been on a "hobby hiatus" to focus on school so I feel a bit rusty. I think some fanart can solve that, tho ;)
I didn't know the freckles would be that important but I'm hella glad that I remembered to put them in now :PI'm just ridicuously proud of my freckles. Love 'em. I usually don't like the heat of the sun a lot, but I suffer through it because I get freckles in the sun :P

i think I mentioned (super briefly) that I've been helping my friend BreezeLouise with her self-insert
we got most of the important stuff down, and sometimes yesterday morning I finally started to doodle/sketch something out
she's in the American military as a Scout/Cartographer, and this is just a little thing of the two of us teaming up and getting lost together xD
its a work-in-progress but I should be able to refine this...eventually, and I'm hoping to do more of her soon :)
Gwenno I just realized that one of those people you drew had a cat (it's harder to see since I usually use my phone to get on the forum @ A@) then I realized it was me then I squealed so loudly my sister actually looked away from her Dota game to glare at me incredulously
It's so cute! //flails//
Post by: jesty on June 06, 2015, 02:19:34 PM
*GASP* That is amazing Gweno!!! Thankyousomuch! I love the epic pose you drew of Alice! (I hope she's not aiming at anything living o.o)
And now I will draw you! ;D
Post by: KicknRun on June 06, 2015, 02:33:35 PM
And this is the art trade for Haiz! I have so many regrets, but I'm still up for art trades, for some reason.
(also, my tablet has one job. one job.)
EDIT: I found my purple marker. Are you kidding me. This could have turned out way better.
Post by: Adrai Thell on June 06, 2015, 02:36:54 PM

IT'S ME:3 I'm glad you're happy with her, and it would be pretty difficult to draw her without making her look cute tbh :P
I'M CUTE
aaaaaaa this is amazing! ^.^
Whoaaa this is so impressive, you really drew everyone. I'm very happy that Lauftroll has several dinner options one accordion sound away!Thank you ^_^ and yep, I sure hope I managed everyone anyway! Now stop threatening to eat all the ssssonas blasted music troll! *picks up nearest object to start troll hunting…. is a pillow - oops, shuffles away*
Wow, that's a lot of people :o Thank you for drawing me :DHaha, yours was one of the unlucky start ones who didn't get an exciting pose, but I'm glad you're happy with her anyway
Whoa Gwenno, you drew everybody and full-bodied too, whoa! *respect**fistbumps in totally cool response to "respect"…. cuz that's what all the cool kids do, and I'm defo one of the cool kids…*
I need to step up my game...
As for upping your game, I've finished all my uni work, and now only work part time meaning for the first time in forever PLENTY of free time :P It's way easier to do things like this when that's the case!
:O GWENNO THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE AND ALSO AMAZING!!! I'm speechless and Karri is so on point, help me :__)Haha, I had so much practice of drawing Karri from the art trade I didn't even need the slide to reference - that was one of the reject poses for the trade so i'm glad it got used properly!
i think I mentioned (super briefly) that I've been helping my friend BreezeLouise with her self-insertHaha I'm so glad you liked it ^_^ , practice sketches for the art trade apparently (actually that was a few days ago, so pre art trade so meh…). Think I'll need to up my cat-drawing game however :P

Your friend's ssssona looks like they'll be really interesting once they're done as well (okay, well they seem interesting already, but early days and I'm sure the more we see the more we cement the opinion)
*GASP* That is amazing Gweno!!! Thankyousomuch! I love the epic pose you drew of Alice! (I hope she's not aiming at anything living o.o)Thank you!!! I'm glad you like it and that you posted the picture in time for me to draw her ^_^ Pretty sure it's just target practice, and definitely not aiming at poor Kex!!!! No siree! Aaaaah, drawzzzzz ;D I really like your style so I'd be excited to see it
And now I will draw you! ;D
Gwenno... thanks to you, I now need to surgically reattach my jaw.Are you suuuure you're not a troll? I hear jaw dropping can be a very common problem.. Your ssssona was pretty detailed to start with so I tried to capture them all as best as possible ^_^ Glad it made you happy
WOW. That's amazing! And you made me look good! And I've been staring at this for a long time, capturing little details and events!
Seriously, you (and everyone here, really) are (is) amazing!
Gwenno that is so impressive! It's amazing you got everybody's, even mine when it's so new! And I love all the poses!Thank you :) I almost felt bad hiding all your pretty clothes under the cloak, but you were the last ssssona to draw and because I'm a lazy little thing I decided to just use the remaining space on the page which meant lying down… ah well, I'm glad you like it!
Haha, it felt a bit bad only doing pencil sketch after the big one because I was like "nooooooo, Von need the dreamworld and monsters and things", but ah well, at least she got another draw ^_^I think it could help if I write a little presentation and/or try to draw me again, I quite understand nobody would re-read all to find some informations here and there.
Thanks Gwenno ! It's funny you draw me one more time, guess what I have done (in french) during my five hours in a train today ? :D
And congratulations for drawing all of us here !
Also *eeeeeeekkkkk* Is it the story?!? I'm so so excited to see that ;D
Gwenno - Wow, you actually drew everyone. I am in awe. I (along with everyone else of course) look so good! Thank youuuuuAaaaaw, I'm glad you like it :) I couldn't find any pictures showing your ssssona's outfit for the legs and feet so just went with generic boots and trousers, I'm happy you think it looks good ^_^

and my pose is 120% in character
I'm taking of all my hats to you. all of them
(sorry for commenting right after you did a whole thank-you post, hahahaha)
Seriously though thank you ^_^ I'm happy you like the pose and the draw and it was such fun to do! I may keep one or two of the hats, you seem like you'd have excellent headwear style :P
You drew me! Wow! I feel so honoured to be drawn by someone. You have made my day, thank you so much! :)Of course I drew you ^_^ You are part of our amazing self insert silent world exploring crew now and as such deserve all the fun that come along with it :P I'm really glad it made you so happy :3 (when I make people happy it makes me happy too so technically this was a very selfish thing to do :P )
What can I do in a train ? Read ? Look by the window, dreaming ? Listen to music ? No, I know : WRITE with music :D So yes, I have a first version of a short story for you. Let me do some adjustments, a few hours to translate, find a beta-reader aaaaaaand... you'll see ;)Well I am VERY excited to see how this turns out ^_^ and yeah, trains are actually the best places to be productive. I have instances where I manage a week's worth of coursework in a long train journey day just because they somehow make productivity happen? I think trains may be magic…….

hey all, just wanted to post this real quick--
(http://pre06.deviantart.net/6ca1/th/pre/i/2015/157/e/c/image_by_skipperlou-d8w839m.jpg)
i think I mentioned (super briefly) that I've been helping my friend BreezeLouise with her self-insert
we got most of the important stuff down, and sometimes yesterday morning I finally started to doodle/sketch something out
she's in the American military as a Scout/Cartographer, and this is just a little thing of the two of us teaming up and getting lost together xD
its a work-in-progress but I should be able to refine this...eventually, and I'm hoping to do more of her soon :)
You already know my thoughts on this. There aren't enough "eeeee"s in the world to properly convey how much amazing is contained within these 774x1032 pixels.
(My guess is that we were supposed to be heading towards a sandy beach but somehow found ourselves sitting on a pile of rocks)
Post by: daItrick on June 06, 2015, 06:39:20 PM
Anyways,
1. welcome to the new members of the crew! ^w^
2. More awesome drawings, yessss
3. Happy national day to all swedish persons!
4. Gwenno, Thank you so much for drawing me! It's impossible to me to do everyone in full body like you :0

Me: "I told you that tree wasn't the right shape!"
You: "Shane, you said to go past the funny-shaped tree along the river. That's what we did. Unless you meant this river, here..."
Me: "...I dunno. Does that one have a tree that looks like one of those hula dancers we've read about?"
You: "...Well, this one looks more like a looming creature of some sort..."
Me: "So we're at the monster river."
You: "What?"
Me: "That's not a tree."
You: "..."

holy wow that was QUICK (says I, the lightning sketcher)!! but wow I look awesome and THANK YOU SO MUCH i love it!! also wow several versions O: O: O:
it takes a time to get used to digital art, yeah... I'm still more comfortable fusing digital art with a traditional base.
Hah, you got two versions because I wasn't sure the marker would look good,but it did.
And I may have finals coming up, which isn't increasing my procrastination or anything.
Ah I like these versions a lot better than the digital one ^_^ You're obviously more comfortable working there and the colours look pretty spot on!
Traditional is going to be easier for me for a long long time. And everything I do digital is some kinda experiment, and they tend to fail. But it isn't too bad,honestly.

Ahhh me too!!! Actually, I love talking about art and drawing in general, so if anybody ever has some cool thing or complaint about drawing or art and they want to talk about it HIT ME UP BECAUSE I WILL TALK ABOUT DRAWING FOR H O U R S
Seriously though, I'm slowly getting better at digital, but I still have to go back a couple steps in skill because the proportions and things don't come instinctively to me digitally. Like, I actually have to do those skeleton bases where I'd usually just head straight in and draw the body in traditional art.

Had something of a crazy moment and decided to do the thing - how hard can it be right?
Anyway, finally finished and I hope people like how they were drawn ;D It's sorta in alphabetical order except for the new people who just got placed wherever I was at the time, and Melusine who doesn't have a slide in the info dump yet so ended up at the end :(
Impressive! You drew me, wheee :)
Post by: Lenny on June 07, 2015, 04:53:53 AM
YAY more self-insert stuff. I have drawn much more of it than I've posted here, but none of it was quite right.
Bio is still a work in progress, but so far...
Age: 19
Occupation: Illuminator, calligraphy artist, woodcut artist... Illumination is her main thing, but what actually pays bills is the woodcuts (for signage and other informative illustrations) and calligraphy. Sometimes when she gets some old tech working, that can be sold off, too, but that part of her life is mainly a hobby.
Location: Mora.
Nationality: Icelandic.
Languages: Icelandic, Swedish, some Finnish
Bio: Born immune, she decided the path of an artist was hers very very soon in life. When she was old enough to pay passage, she moved to Mora (much to the dismay of her relatives) and set up a business there. She's been pushing pretty hard to get a party to take her along to the Silent World, but so far has had no luck. She's got multiple reasons for this, mainly studying trolls, giants, and beasts from close up, perhaps getting her hands on some old tech parts, and also gaining more info on what people lived like back then. Currently she's pondering whether training as a cleanser would let her gain entry to the Silent World... and if it takes much longer to find a willing party to take her along, she'll go do just that.
As for her personality, she's very quiet and likes her work more than humans. However, if anyone can break through and get her talking about subjects she's passionate about, she will talk an incredible amount, regardless of who it is. She dislikes showing her face, and has very long, fluffy hair which she stuffs underneath a cap, usually - except for her fringe, which hangs over her face. She doesn't dislike cats but prefers dogs with a quiet personality over cats. She is incredibly stubborn. She might not seem very affectionate, but close friends and family know otherwise - she just shows it in odd ways.

'Well, mead. Its somewhat less work than beer, but I don't think either is that much work really. There's really just three points in the entire process one has to do anything (bottling being the final one, and the only one that's obvious enough that I can draw it recognizably). Personally, I spend about 3-4 hours of actual work on each (20-22 liter) batch over the course of a month or two (ie, its a lot cheaper than anything one can buy even if counting cost-of-labour, and the results tend to be better). The one time I tried beer took more work, though.

I have an idea since I saw how many of us like creating their self-insert. Moreover, some of you start to make them move or interact, so all become more interesting (Yes, it's possible !) Since I had discover this thread, I have only one regret : so many characters, but... nothing more. I mean, for me, it's like saying "Hey, let's do something cool and funny !" and gather together, all in a few same places, but doing nothing more whereas our ssssona's have a HUGE potential !
I promised a short story to Gwenno in exchange of her wonderful drawing of Von, my character, and I think it could be a beginning for a bigger collaborative project. Let's make our characters live ! Let's see how they could work in a team !
So... what do you think about this idea ? Would you take part in, or am I too enthusiastic in my corner ? ^^
Post by: Laufey on June 07, 2015, 09:32:54 AM
(I've said this before but it was so far back in the thread that it's probably best to say it again: the accordion troll is free game for everyone. You can mistreat it any way you like, my only wish is that you don't outright kill it because I've grown sort of fond of it... although I'll be a good sport if it has to die. It is a troll after all.)

I have an idea since I saw how many of us like creating their self-insert. Moreover, some of you start to make them move or interact, so all become more interesting (Yes, it's possible !) Since I had discover this thread, I have only one regret : so many characters, but... nothing more. I mean, for me, it's like saying "Hey, let's do something cool and funny !" and gather together, all in a few same places, but doing nothing more whereas our ssssona's have a HUGE potential !
I promised a short story to Gwenno in exchange of her wonderful drawing of Von, my character, and I think it could be a beginning for a bigger collaborative project. Let's make our characters live ! Let's see how they could work in a team !Let's put them into troubles !(Hello, Curry, we spoke a little about that before. Hello Haiz too, I'm still thinking to make our ssssona's meet.)
So... what do you think about this idea ? Would you take part in, or am I too enthusiastic in my corner ? ^^
Awwww YES!! I am so in! :D I agree with the gathering together thing and I also want to do more with our SSSSonas showing up and interacting :o I know I have a comic about Karri discovering mageness

I'll finish the short novel for and introducing Gwenno and will translate it first, then we'll see in which direction all could go. I have nothing absolutely decided for this moment, because some of you could want to do something/have a better idea, so the situation may be quite open at the beginning.
It might need a new thread...

I can do a picture for you , Para, unless you have someone else lined up.I'm still working on it, but thanks for the offer! That's.. The third, you're competing with Curry and someone else, if they're not too busy.
You can PM me outfit/appearance details, and I'll whip something up.
Ooh! I could have an art duel!
But your art's all great, and I don't want to end up favouring one person.

Beta-readers for what? *confused* *has forgotten the proposition*You beta-readed my short-novel-as-a-self-insert, and I proposed to do something for you in exchange ;)
Wonderful idea, Melusine, and I'd love for my ssssona to be in on it - If you wrote the story, I could illustrate a page or two, since writing feels like a chore for me while drawing is relaxing!I think we'll have several "teams" or we'll be too numerous, and hope we could be several to write, but illustrations are ALWAYS welcome, no ? ^^

Or profession ones.I will do an "egoist" answer : may I just finish Gwenno's story first ? :) It's built with a possibility to construct something with a few persons. And I'm sure we'll be able to have other situations too but, to my mind, it's more interesting to mix a little the professions.
AND it could be a little slow project because translating french to english is still long for me ::) (Or I write too much.) But I'm enjoying such enthusiasm !

I propose mage party.Not technically a Mage--still screwed xD
Edit: Unless it becomes a Scout party
This whole idea sounds super awesome, and Melusine is right--there is a slight stagnation in the thread. It kinda makes me wanna write (not that I'm any good at it but I've done it before and it was fun)
Or draw some comics, like that one I did with Haiz. I think I might even try to re-draw that first one as soon as my art trades are done...

Gender: Male
Age: Basically 16
Immune: Yuuup.

Languages: Welsh, Icelandic, English (woo, communication problems incoming!)
Profession: Academic/Field Researcher
Appearance/Traits: Gawky, lanky, about 6' tall, wears John Lennon-esque glasses, shoulder-length brown hair with an emo fringe over the left eye, skinny and massively socially inept. Walks with a very slight limp. He'll do just fiiiine.

KicknRun - that's a really powerful backstory there, I think I got slightly too emotionally involved, but that just means that I thought it was interesting and well written. That's a pretty promising start if you're planning on working on the thing

Also, I really love everybody's character and want to interact with them allllllllll, so perhaps they're on a major expedition with multiple teams going through a largish area (like Copenhagen, but through the entire thing) to divide and conquer then meet up every couple of weeks or so to compare findings and level with each other?

Ahahahahahahahahaah yeah, I'm pretty sure all three cleansers would be split up (sadly ;__; YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO GREAT) unless something reeeally big needed to be done (example being a high-rise or something like that) and Karri's aggressive chemical modifications weren't enough. Karri would probably be the most destructive because although callipygous is Canonically Stupid, Karri is Canonically Stupid And Chemically Experimental, so maybe they wouldn't need to be on a team.

Lára will be pretty useless though.... she's far from athletic, her self-defense techniques consist of lots and lots of screaming, she's not very good with runes, and while she can tell you things like "you're going to hear a small sound today and wonder what it is" she can't tell you "it's actually a troll." What with school debt and everything though, she might end up padding her resume just a bit...

That's an awesome idea! *starry eyes*
Of course, I wouldn't be that much good. (yes I am calling my ssssona 'me' because she's pretty much exactly me except in the ssssverse)

I'll create a new thread for this project with my promised short novel for Gwenno this week :) Maybe with an other short novel too, and after... after we have a whole world to explore, and I love the idea of different teams meeting ! :D Feel free to think about what you would like to do or see. (Little voice inside : "This project is too big for me, this project is too big for me, what have I done ?") We may think to an organization, but... *Tired* later.
Hmmmm yes I might make a thread for the organization? Actually, I'm... I'm not sure...... but you know what having a thread for it would be useful. Actually let me PM you and we shall work out the details B)

Ahhh I'm so glad you like it! I just really really love character interaction and such • v • I remember when there were like, 5 of us, and we could fit the entire team (full-bodied) on one page. Now there are so many that it's hard for me to make proper ways of interaction up so maybe an overarching scheme would be a good start! :D

I'll probably be available as another cleanser (eh, so many directions things can go in...), but a sparkly new cleanser. My character will just have lost patience with parties that do not want an SSSS equivalent of a bard, and gone and done the training instead, even though it did take a chunk of her life. (Cue family freaking out again.)
Post by: mithrysc on June 08, 2015, 09:54:17 AM
Spoiler: actually not grumpy for once • show
Nationality: .......... Swede
Area of Birth: ..... Luleå
Gender: .............. Female
Immunity: ................ Yes
Profession: Skald, Bookbinder/Archivist
Languages: :sweden: :iceland: :finland:
Born in the far northern reaches of Sweden, the girl who called herself Mith soon decided that if she was ever going to get anything done, it would be in the capital. Mora was far away enough from the trolls and the hunting parties. And then, of course, there were the books and the researchers and everything! After several months of scrounging up funds and dodging questions, she took the longest train ride of her life (and the most tension-filled one, despite the crew's constant reassurance) and got off in the capital.
Of course, as soon as she was through inspection, she realized the major flaw in her plan: mainly, the lack of an actual plan. After several days spent longingly drawing the outsides of research buildings (and maybe libraries!), she worked up the courage to go and apply a job. Given what she had heard about the poor materials and bindings of pre-Rash books, she figured there would also be a need for someone to try to put the books together.
While working (and also while not working...), she prefers quietness and areas free of other people who might mess up her projects. She doesn't completely dislike socializing, but the times she does want to talk she doesn't know what to say, and usually ends up just staying silent and impassive. She also dislikes danger very much. The Silent World is very, very intriguing--old ruins and old books!--but there's also the problem of trolls and beasts and whatnot. Maybe if she had people to hide behind that didn't burn or explode everything in sight...

Also, you've done a picture with five pencils that I wouldn't be able to match with a full spectrum- skill over equipment and all that, and you've got plenty of the former and just enough of the latter, apparently.

Ok, I have a question, and it's going to sound really really stupid, but I really haven't had a ton of experience communicating with people on the internet and such (I only text three people regularly that are not related to me, one lives in iceland, one lives in denmark, and one lives in the us) and so I am a bit behind at speaking internet lingo. What is a headcannon? I know cannon is what happens in the story, but what makes something a headcannon?Headcanon is what you imagine happens outside of what's shown in the story. It's canon---but in your head.

What is a headcannon? I know cannon is what happens in the story, but what makes something a headcannon?A headcanon is something you personally believe to be true about the characters. Like, example: I headcanon that Emil's hair turns green when put in pool water. This may or may not be true but I believe it (except I don't really, his hair isn't that blond ahaa)

Firstly another picture:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/XcnX8ihXt00G3N5RCznLV7Z8AZimUxy9ZVUQW67N7Xg=w346-h675-no)
Next to her is some new information about her personality since her backstory is still trúnaðarmal at this point. It will hopefully help with guiding other people who will be interacting with her. I thought I would write it instead of type it because you guys seem to like it when I write stuff and also I have fun doing it so
(also sorry for the bad photo quality, I am using my phone to take pictures, I hope to do some digital drawings later this week)
Aaaaand in case some of you don't believe that she actually has a backstory, here is a picture of part of her file:

My OC:
Bosse
Grade A Cat
Male
H: 34cm tall (extra 6cm height in fur)
L: 49cm nose to tail
W: 5kg (plus 1kg in fur)
Bosse, in this case, isn't a name. At some schools Bosse is taught to the cats as the one in charge of their team (of cats). When they are given an assignment with multiple cats, the lead cat is always Bosse. If on solo missions, they are Bosse.
Now this particular Bosse has been bred and trained specifically for military purposes just as most Grade A cats are. After graduating and obtaining his certification he was put on a team boarding the Tunfiskurinn. He hated it. They never gave him enough fish, so he would regularly be reprimanded by his employers and his Bosse for sneaking a bite from the stores. He was also banned from the Old Lady's room for trying to play with the long red stuff whenever he was off duty. Eventually his assignment ended and he was free to take on new assignments. Better assignments. More "him" assignments. And thus he became Bosse!
His new assignment (and currently on-going) assignment was to help protect the couriers. Communication between the safe zones is of the utmost importance, and now he is part of it. He is out to watch the couriers as they deliver mail and parcel. He is out to protect those who would protect the word of others. He is out to eat mice, bugs, or any edible thing he can find on the road. He is...
BOSSE
It will be easier for me to give examples to describe Bosse's physical appearance so...
Imagine this FLOOF! (http://www.dogbreedslist.info/uploads/allimg/dog-pictures/Chow-Chow-3.jpg)
On this cat (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c9/a7/93/c9a793fa714e14bdae0f210484e30e04.jpg)
---------------------
In his free time, Bosse likes to eat things smaller than himself, lay down, and keep himself well groomed to maintain a professional appearance.

Oh, wow...she's probably gonna hate when Shane comes around (drifts in from group 1) to visit Haiz (and probably Jon as soon as she realizes he speaks English

[...]ahaha great bio!
Lets Haiz (her classmate) terrorize her.
I gotta clarify that Haiz doesn't do lots of terrorizing on purpose exactly, ze's just.. kind of vERY INTENSE and often too caught up in hir own head to realize if something's too much for others. You gotta speak up if you want something to stop, or ze's just gonna think you don't mind it (or even enjoy it) and keep going forever~
Now I'm wondering what (strange) we all could have in our bags or pockets ::)why do you think I've got that belt full of pockets >:]
Post by: RandomTexanReader on June 09, 2015, 12:07:19 PM
welcome new and maybe-soon-to-be members of the squad!!Yeah, Lára's got Haiz pegged. It's all in good fun :D
ahaha great bio!what was that about the runes

Ruth: WHO PUT A RUNE ON THE BATHROOM DOOR SO I CAN'T GET IN?!?!?
Lára: It was Beth!!!
Beth: What?
Lára: Beth, how could you! Go and take it off right now!
Beth: But...
Lára: Okay, FINE, I'll take it off for you. But don't do it again!

Haiz: ?!
Shane: Here. Isn't it cute? and looklooklook! When I take my hand away, look how funny it is!
Blorptroll: AAAaaaAAaAaAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAaaAaaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAA----
Haiz: //says something in Norwegian Shane doesn't understand//
Shane: //pushes the creature into hir arms// Great! I'm glad you like it! Anyway, I need to go let my cat out--I had to lock her up when she kept trying to kill it before I could get it to you. Have fun! //walks off whistling the tune to 'Tell Me Ma''//

There's a sudden craze about actually doing things with our SSSSonas, sparked by Mélusine and vaguely organized by me :0 We've made a great big giant team for the expedition right here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=486.0) and your mechanic is greatly needed by group 4 (๑╹w╹๑)

so I decided to start on my art trade with Gwenno first, since I'm less familiar with her character...taking a little break, now, but I think its going well :)Spoiler: show

every time you say something like that it makes my face go all red irl q////3////q
but thank you! to be honest, this wasn't the pose I originally set out to draw. I'd originally had it in my head to draw her running...and then I stopped really paying attention to it for about ten seconds while I was trying to get the anatomy down
next thing I know I'm squinting at the basic shape of the body and thinking 'wait, no she is totally about to whack someone in the head with her staff'
and from then on she was no longer running xD
Post by: AuthorOfLight on June 09, 2015, 03:00:52 PM
It means that she throws you under the bus constantly though, sorry.
I just had a thought of Lára doing some cooking, and then:
Lára: Could you watch this for a while? I put a rune on it so it won't burn, but just make sure that it doesn't boil over or anything, okay?
Beth: Sure! Doesn't sound too hard.
Later...
Lára: Stirring the food I thought I told you to watch this!
Beth: Well it didn't boil over...
Lára: But look - it's all burnt!
Beth: I thought you said it wouldn't!
Both: ..........
Lára: Nobody will notice... right?
And then people eat it and:
Person: Ugh, who made this? It's half ash!
Lára and Beth: Pointing to each other IT WAS HER FAULT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I SWEAR
So... yeah. There's blaming all over the place. :)

so of course I made a s***post-style copy of it with curry put in there

((what do you mean I should be serious for once?? nahhh))
I also redid the design of my own ssssona, and decided to show it here with a really really crappy sketch

Wowowow! Haiz, koalalou!!! Awesome art as always. Can't say how much you guys inspire me. *v*So cute! I like your style :D And it's your first time with a dynamic pose?? I think it looks wonderful!
TROLL!!

Weeee! This is for you, Gwenno! Enthusiastically excited to bash a troll's head in mid air while your majestic braids fly around and making lots of noise because why not? You need a spectacular entrance right? ;)
This is my first time drawing dynamic poses, I hope it looks okay >.< But I had lots of fun drawing your character! ;D
And ahhhh! Alice and you are gonna be in the same Expedition Group. She's gonna be verynervousexcited to meet you \o/

however, as you might se, im not a really good artist (noses? eyelashes? drawing in general? how?) so i made some better ones on a dollmaker site. All the image credit goes to dolldivine.com, the games are called "Lotr & hobbit" and "Adventurer" and can be found in the fantasy category.

First time drawing dynamic poses is a complete success ;D You've got all the things spot on and the little detail of "Gwenno" at the bottom of the shoe is scarily accurate (I've a habit of modifying my stuff in a similar fashion IRL actually :o ) You've captured all the fun she gets out of troll hunting perfectly and the expression is just golden.

Also TEAMMATES! Alice shouldn't be too nervous ^_^ most of the crazy is just over the top enthusiasm, and you will be well protected from trolls while in the danger zone I assure you (not that Alice seems to need much protection)! I'm pretty sure Gwenno would love to have a go at throwing knives with her as well (although undoubtedly with far less success, because ya know, practice and such other important stuff :P ). Heh, anyway will remember this for when I eventually get round to drawing a group picture :)
Okay, it's probably about time I got to this. I can't draw, I'm sorry, so I'll mostly be relying on Koalalou (who is most best) for art purposes.
Oooh, interesting. It's also nice to see how you two will end up joining the rest of us, and as a cartographer in a new land there's definitely a lot of fun to be had :)
I finished my drawing for my self insert. It took way too long to draw and it is really simple because I am new to this electronic drawing apps thing but here it is.
And yet another shady person who doesn't want to delve into their past joins our motley crew… Hmmm, well at least she must be mostly capable seeing as she survived in the forest for years, and that's one of the most important things! Welcome to the crew (again I suppose, because more infos now etc.)! The eyes really don't look that bad to me
ok so i managed to email myself the picture of my self insert Iina [spoiler](http://i59.tinypic.com/jr4glc.jpg)Aaaaand this got posted while I was typing ^_^
Hunting sea beasts, well that's a new one, but definitely needed to be fair! (good idea on the bright clothes, our lecturers keep making us wear high viz jackets for similar reasons when in the field - we are obviously not trusted as responsible adults yet *sigh*) I actually really like the picture you made yourself, it's really drawn softly, and you did eyelashes and proper lips which I'm usually too lazy to do so kudos to you :) but the other ones are nice for seeing the whole body so guess that's good to have as well

Also, that picture is so adorably hilarious!But now I have a bit of time in front of the computer without a very cute but sadly sound-wise twin of Blorp next to me soI can browse the threads again.

I am happy that you liked it Gwenno!! I didn't know what to do with the bottom of the shoe and didn't want to leave it plain, so I just wrote your name \o/ (I did the same thing with Karri by sewing her name on her collar, and I guess I will do something similar like that for everyone that I draw).
Well, about Alice, she gets nervous about everything and everyone no matter what. Just takes a while to get use to things. But she can break away from that nervousness when people are intrigued at what Alice is most best at: throwing knives! ;D

Anyhow, meet Teovald Veggerson!
Age: 62
Nationality: Norwegian
Area of Birth: Liekanger
Sex: Male
Immunity: No
Profession: biologist
Languages: Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish
Appearance
Height: 5 feet, 8 inches
Eye color: blue with green flecks
Hair color: Salt and pepper
Biography: Teovald is the son of a Norwegian man and a Swedish woman who was stuck in Norway following the outbreak of the rash. As a child Teovald always wanted to be a troll hunter and travel the world, but he could not realize those dreams because he didn't have immunity. His sister Vala was in a similar situation but instead of accepting her fate she ran away from home with fake ID and successfully joined the army. Unfortunately, she was killed shortly thereafter in the summer of year 43. Teovald took this news very badly, further crushing his hopes of one day leaving Norway.
"Vala was so stupid... but so brave. I always looked up to her, even after she died."
Teovald was a gifted student and excelled in science, specifically biology. He combined this with his love of animals and pursued a career as a veterinarian for the military. After completing his training Teovald worked with the army, but left after only a few years because he couldn't handle seeing so many cats hurt. Teovald then decided he wanted to pursue his fascination with animals further and went back to university in Aurland where he got his masters in biology and his Ph.D specializing in the study of trolls. During this time Teovald worked with troll hunters to collect specimens for study.
"Of course they do their jobs well, they barely leave any troll left for me to take back to the lab."
During this time Teovlad met his husband, Frei, a hunter captain at the time. They were married in the winter of year 70. Frei usually spent the summers in Sweden working with the Cleansers, Teovlad would have gone with him if it weren't for the international travel ban for the non-immune. Teovlad devoted these long, lonely summers to his research and eventually became one of the foremost experts on the biology of trolls. He has worked extensively with other researchers in Iceland and Sweden but never gotten to see what they've been working on in person. During this time Teovlad also started a retirement home for military cats. When the travel ban was lifted Teovlad was eager to begin traveling the world and fulfilling his childhood dreams. So far he has spent a few months in Reykjavik working in a lab, half a year traveling through the rest of Iceland, and done six four month tours of Sweden. He plans to go to Denmark and Finland but he's still waiting for the right opportunity.
"I've accomplished so much but my life felt so small until now, now a whole universe I've only read about in books has opened up."
Personality: Teovlad is generally goop natured and energetic, especially now that he's allowed to travel. Teovlad approaches everything with enthusiasm, passion, and a light hearted attitude but is liable to get very angry if something seriously upsets or annoys him, which is not very often. Teovlad still struggles with feelings of isolation and loneliness that have troubled him through most of his life. Right now his major struggle is with the sheer size of the world, there are so many things he wants to do but fears he will have the time to do before he either dies or becomes to weak to travel safely.
Cats!
Teovlad owns 3 cats and many more live in his cat retirement home
Munin: One of Frei's old cats, he is 10 years old. Munin is tremendously lazy, but stalwart and brave in the face of danger. While noble, this trait has cost Munin an eye.
Still he remains friendly and approachable despite his numerous scars. Though he has not been deployed in a long time Munin still becomes calm and professional when danger is near.
Hugin: Hugin is Munin's sister, they were part of the same litter. Hugin has unusually keen senses, even for a cat and is always restless. Hugin barley seems barley able to stand still, making petting her very difficult.
Kuller: Kuller used to belong to a Finnish officer who retired in Norway. Long story short, Kuller is a very bad cat. He is bad tempered and eager to fight. Kuller's saving grace is that he is an absolutely ferocious fighter. Which while useful in the field this has proved troublesome at home, prompting Teovlad to keep Kuller in his own home and away from the other cats (well except Munin and Hugin).

- Name: Julian Adamsson
- Age: 27
- Nationality: Swedish
- Area of birth: Mora
- General appearance: ginger, blue eyes, slightly emaciated, glasses, etc. Last seen out of a lab coat sometime before the Danish defeat at Kastrup.
- Occupation: academic (an acceptable knowledge of a couple of disciplines but specialises in research chemistry and biochemistry. Has to do drudge-level admin as well)
- Immunity: no
- Languages: Swedish, Icelandic. Knows enough Finnish to ask “Can you put me on the next boat back to Sweden please?”
- Having spent his whole life in the safe lands of Mora, Julian is your average arrogant Swede. He firmly believes in the excellence of Swedish engineering, military tactics, culture – you name it, the Swedes are the best at it, whatever those idiots in Iceland say.
- Do not get him started on magic and mages. He believes it’s unreliable and unscientific and that placing too much trust in the whims of the gods (who he doesn’t believe in) is setting you up for a fall. This might have something to do with the Nordic Council constantly denying his lab funding in favour of the mage academy in Reykjavik.
- He has had a part to play in a number of projects at the laboratory complex where he works. These include: an advanced reactive armour system for the new Dalahästen-II train (that never got built), a hotter-burning flamethrower fuel for the cleansers (that nearly killed three people), a project to enhance the energy density of battery tech (that fries every circuit they hook it up to), and a series of initiatives to synthesise medicinal biomolecules from wood pulp (which didn’t work). Noticing a pattern here?
- Perhaps because he’s never met a live one that wasn’t contained behind six centimetres of armoured glass, he’s fascinated with trolls and the infected in general. He’s recently been making some worrying noises about how useful the Rash’s mutagenic abilities would be if it could be harnessed somehow, which have earned him some very hard stares from his supervisors. He applied to work at the same lab that Siv worked at once, but they semi-politely turned him down.
- Because of his litany of academic failure, he’s always on the lookout to make a quick kronor or two out of his work any way he can. Hasn’t found one yet, but the hunt continues. [But what’s this – a second expedition he can ride the coattails of? *scurries off to the Squad Organisation thread*]
- He’s still very low down on the academic food chain but has his sights set firmly on the top – where he hopes, if he ever gets there, he can turn the tables on those Odin-fearing, Edda-thumping snobs in Reykjavik and get their funding cut for a change.
- Socially, he’s quite shy but fairly friendly and talkative once you get to know him. He’s also prone to cursing a lot when things go wrong, or even when they don’t, often switching to the dead language of English to do so (a habit he learned from his grandfather). Suffers from mild neuroticism and can be a bit of a control freak, and often needs someone to tell him to calm down.
- Don’t give him more than one cup of coffee a day. No-one’s quite sure what happens when you do, but everyone’s sure they don’t want it to happen again.
I’ve just realised as I put this together that it might come across like this guy’s meant to be some sort of attack on the (moderately high) number of mages here – that’s not the case! I just feel that if I were transplanted into the world of SSSS, I’d be a bit dismissive of magic right up until someone mage-slapped some sense into me. :D
Like I say, I can’t draw so this guy’s probably going to remain faceless.

Wow! I really like this! It looks super intense and the glowing swords are awesome :)
I don't know how many of these you committed to, but if/when you have time in the future, I would be interested in doing an art trade as well.

This is a scene set in Norway in summer, a giant has been flushed out and is chasing a team back to base. Here we see Karri holding open the door to the electric fence, Fenris is almost in, followed by Fimbulvarg, with Gwenno bringing up the rear after a valiant attempt at a flanking manuoevre. Piney is calling back to the outpost to time the switching on of the electricity. (Why is Piney in Norway? Dunno, leave me alone.) Haiz and Almond Goddess have a plan, though - the falcon is to take a rock and drop it on the giant's main head from a great height. But this is no ordinary rock, now that Haiz has cast a rune upon it for unerring accuracy and deadly effect, while not harming the falcon who must carry it. (The off-duty personnel are not in uniform.)

I have had a rare day off with time to draw, and have made a picture featuring some of you. I can't do a proper art trade because of how seldom I get to come here. I also have not seen updates to your ssssonas. Anyway....

Sorry for spamming but I finished the drawing of Bosse wondering whose bright idea it was to bring a certain Blorp
From left to right: Jabberwocky, Bosse who's his very own Bosse, and Blorp who will never ever be Bossetrained! I have no idea who put that Bow on him - Cloud, was it you?
Someone posted this .gif on Disqus and I don't know why it reminded me of Blorptroll -- but it did.
I think it was the combination of the size and being perfectly oval in cross-section.

I didn't know that my tiny annoying trollsona would gain such popularity, but maybe that is the magic of a simple and easy-to-memorize design... I do feel a little bad for :V-troll with its 15 limbs though.......
I think it was the combination of the size and being perfectly oval in cross-section.
also Trinka, congrats on reading through! I can't even imagine what it's like to catch up on this monstrosity from the beginning now. Maybe we should add explanations for some of the self-insert memes in that minnion meme thread, possibly linking to their origins... gosh that sounds like a lot of work i do not volunteer

Piney is calling back to the outpost to time the switching on of the electricity. (Why is Piney in Norway? Dunno, leave me alone.) Haiz and Almond Goddess have a plan, though - the falcon is to take a rock and drop it on the giant's main head from a great height. But this is no ordinary rock, now that Haiz has cast a rune upon it for unerring accuracy and deadly effect, while not harming the falcon who must carry it.

I have a thing that I want to post, but first I should clarify where it came from first. I got my little sister into SSSS and she drew a sona. She's a bit of a lurker, and hasn't made a profile here yet, but she asked me if I could post it here so you guys could see it. So without further ado, here is my sister as a sona:

(as you can see she is much more of a digital drawer than I am, she teaches me about the internet)
I am going to ask that you don't put it on the pintrest just because it is not my art work to give permission for.

Post by: Laufey on June 12, 2015, 08:30:46 PM
(Characters are a mix from groups 2 and 3 because according to Curry those two overlap somewhat.)
(http://i.imgur.com/vHxr84u.png)
Lauftroll basics: it's basically built for ambush but it does have some weak points regarding that, too.
(http://i.imgur.com/L1CtjsY.png)
It's really bad at estimating correct height of a target for example, especially if the target moves suddenly.

Another problem: it's used to prey that tries to get away. If you don't move it practically can't see you, and since it doesn't really have any feeling left in the arm parts it can't really tell if a non-moving object is edible or not.

Lauftroll basics: it's basically built for ambush but it does have some weak points regarding that, too.

It's really bad at estimating correct height of a target for example, especially if the target moves suddenly.

And Feartheviolas: lovely laufeytroll is very good for giving rides to itty bitty demons! They're all so cute.

(http://i.imgur.com/1ccpevh.png)I was going to accuse you of writing me OOC but... it's not. it's not OOC at all I'm so ashamed
also lovely informative comic about the lauftroll's abilities!
Post by: Gwenno on June 13, 2015, 09:56:07 AM
This is a scene set in Norway in summer, a giant has been flushed out and is chasing a team back to base. Here we see Karri holding open the door to the electric fence, Fenris is almost in, followed by Fimbulvarg, with Gwenno bringing up the rear after a valiant attempt at a flanking manuoevre. Piney is calling back to the outpost to time the switching on of the electricity. (Why is Piney in Norway? Dunno, leave me alone.) Haiz and Almond Goddess have a plan, though - the falcon is to take a rock and drop it on the giant's main head from a great height. But this is no ordinary rock, now that Haiz has cast a rune upon it for unerring accuracy and deadly effect, while not harming the falcon who must carry it. (The off-duty personnel are not in uniform.)This one! I love how totally plausible the scenario is (says she talking about characters from a made up part of a fictional story ::) ) You've got everyone acting very true to character (as far as I can tell anyway), and we're all looking pretty darn cool to boot :P
(http://i.imgur.com/RbpPFKY.jpg)
RTR - some real funny comics you've been providing, thank you for the laughs :D The troll chase and daiseerose's ssssona's ambulance run are golden, and I was real glad nobody was around I'd need to explain why I was laughing to :P
Almond-Goddess - It's looking so super pretty but also kinda melancholy? Gargh, now it's got me feeling melancholy as well, stupid well conveyed emotions in a good picture!
Feartheviolas - Excellent use of demon cats :P I've got to agree with the others that it somehow really is adorable! That's some real nice colouring as well
Kicknrun - Shall we call this particular manoeuvre "pulling a Reynir"? Lets hope your silent world endeavours work out a little better :P Also, I agree, that's a pretty good "oh crap" face Jesty has going for her in the second panel

Bah! Poor Lára having to deal with Laufeytroll's hugging :P Well at least everyone made it out alive in the end and that's actually pretty informative and useful for us troll hunters! I'm also loving how my ssssona has become so tall in all these comics ;D and berserk mode? HELLZ YEAH! (Also I would like to at this point deny that Fimbulvarg's current state has anything to do with the fact that he thought it would be funny to pull my braids at training that morning, although I'll spread a general caution to everyone - leave the braids alone!)

Okay here goes!
Quote
Emil hails from a norwegian settlement on the border of Hitra. Coming from a somewhat wealthy farmer family, he wanted more out of life than watching over critters and crops.
Having studied mechanics, he is also a decent medic when no other alternative is available, and is quick, nimble and silent enough to serve the role of a scout, if needed. All this combined, he's more or less a "handyman", though his skills within medicine and first aid is questionable at best. As he said once; "what's different from putting equipment together to putting a person together?"
He's a massive sleepyhead, a bit blunt at times, but overall friendly and wants to be part of something.
He carries with him tools and a bag containing more tools and stuff, and a gun along with a pair of binoculars, just in case.
Though quick to complain when things get heated, with proper focus he has the ability to get the job done well (most of the time).
Is a bad joker. Don't let him tell jokes. Ever.
He is also followed by a fat, lazy and arrogant cat. Though he seems to ignore the cat most of the time, he regularly feeds it whenever it needs sustenance. It doesn't have a name. It's just the fat, unknown cat in orbit around Emil.
It is suggested that he has the potential to become a mage, though he has dismissed any pursuit of such things, as he believes magic is not his schtick at all. Like, seriously. He doesn't want that at all.
Also has a thing for mead. Watch this one carefully.

Ruth: "What do you mean? She's got it on her resume."

Haiz:
Ruth:
Haiz:
Ruth: "Yeah, I'll take her off the roster immediately."
Allow me to clarify: Lára did not kill the spiderdog. She found it. And since it was already half-cooked it seemed a shame to waste it, and nobody else wanted it, so... stop looking at her that way.

The composition has since quintupled in width (not seen here) because I need to expand it enough for the art collaboration (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=440.msg35052#msg35052). It's rather refreshing to go back to creating environments again!

Name:
Sex: female
Age: 29
Country: Iceland but father is a Norwegian who came to Iceland to study magic
and met her mother who was studying also.
Immunity: yes
Profession: Scout and mage (Ice)
Language: icelandic and Norwegian
Skills: rune magic, sharpshooter, path finder
- Has a polydactal cat, Mynd, who seems to communicate telepathically with her. He is a gray tuxedo marked cat, Grade A. His extra digits give him the scary ability to manipulate bolts and latches. Few things escape his curiosity. He sometimes takes food with his "hand" and eats from it like a person would. His pale green eyes miss nothing.
- Friendly enough but if the party gets too loud or the room too crowded she has a tendency to slip outside.

Hm, I'll consider it! I've actually wanted to illustrate a book for a while, though as you predicted the story's very much still in my head and not in writing.
Also, have another WIP!

Okay, so I've tried to draw/design the 'sonas for SectoBoss (Julian Adamsson) and Emil (you gotta write a bio now, dude)!Both of these look awesome! :D I love how much character there is in your drawings!
emphasis on tried, tell me if you want something different!
SectoBoss, who has already written that fantastic hair dye conversation between Julian and Haiz

Name: Maja Gunnarsson
Age: 25
Nationality: Swedish
Languages: :sweden:. Currently studying Icelandic.
Immune?: Yes
Occupation: Cleanser
Bio:
The Death Metal cult of Jävelhåla, located on an island north of Luleå, developed rather differently than the rest of Sweden. Shaped by isolation, harsh cold in the winters and relentless troll onslaughts in the summer, the Jävelhålas have developed a tenacity equaling a thousand burning suns, and a way of life that revolves around religion. Almost all of the origin myths of the Death Metal faith has been lost with the Old World, but the Jävelhålas are pretty sure it had something to do with death, and metal. And so, generation after generation, the Jävelhåla warriors pick up their steel and their fire, and they use metal to bring death upon their unholy enemies. Their honor creed is simple: protect people, destroy trolls. Destroy trolls with metal, fire, and a stupidly fierce tenacity worthy of the Old Gods! In fact.. if one destroys enough trolls and save enough people, in death, you will proudly join the fallen warriors on the Fields of Wacken, the great metal paradise.
Maja is no exception, and to anyone who isn't a Jävelhåla she will likely rub off as a religious extremist with suicidal tendencies. She walked all the way from Luleå to Mora just to join the military, and learn the art of Holy Death from the best warriors that her country has to offer.

- Alma was born to immigrant parents (haven't decided yet).
- A family friend had to pull some strings to get her into the military.
- Alma is socially anxious and extremely reserved. She also hates being touched and scrutinized by strangers.
- But if she does know and like you be prepare to be swarmed with hugs and glomps.
- Alma can however, engage in conversations when the right buttons are pushed (beware though, she does go on a tangent and spout a lot of unrelated nonsense).
- Her pet cat, Molly, is sarcastic and the sane man (ha!) of the duo, especially during Alma's petty melodramatic moments.
- Molly was unofficially adopted by Alma as a kitten, hence the lack of collar (she can't resist cute things shhh).
- Between saving a limb and a book, it will most definitely be the latter.

Well, i think i managed to get everything in there, and i hope this makes her personality a bit clearer!
Edit: im tired and I just realised that I didn't proofread this at all, so please tell me if there is something in there that doesn't make sense. Also I only have Swedish spellsheck on my computer and the red lines made it annoying to check closely so please excuse me if there are a lot of typos

How would they ask the rest of their ten children to become academics and doctors if the eldest got away with doing whatever she wanted?
So Lis made studies to become a mechanical engineer and she’s been serving as one in Ronne's military base, with the mechanic’s squad, ever since. She’s very competent at it, and is always looking for books on Mechanics to improve herself, but she still dreams of retiring someday and do what she always wanted… make dreamy dresses. She still draws them in her spare time, but never shows.

Lis always wanted to wear a pretty dress, but never found the means to make herself one (if you look into her sketchbook you'll find lots of drawings of herself in gorgeous Elie Saab'esque gowns). You know, cloth was meant to be used in useful and important things, not wasted in stupid dresses.
Any appeal she could've seen in an uniform vanished the first day she tried hers... boring and ill-fitting (she thought "Maaaaan, this sh*t is f*ckin' ugly, I look like a freakin' killer whale!").

Lis always wanted to wear a pretty dress, but never found the means to make herself one (if you look into her sketchbook you'll find lots of drawings of herself in gorgeous Elie Saab'esque gowns). You know, cloth was meant to be used in useful and important things, not wasted in stupid dresses.
Any appeal she could've seen in an uniform vanished the first day she tried hers... boring and ill-fitting (she thought "Maaaaan, this sh*t is f*ckin' ugly, I look like a freakin' killer whale!"). Anyway, years away from that day, she recognizes her mechanic's uniform to be pretty comfortable and she even some days she finds it lovely.
Those look very lovely. Her expressions are great. :)

Nuuuu I'm not brave enough to read through all pages I've missed. And I have absolutely no idea what's happening in the thread. I'm such a loser ghhhh.*flails*
But I can see so many new gorgeous self-inserts eeeeee!
Rosepieces was kind enough to let me draw Bosse, this adorable fluffy little guardian of couriers, and Marja together.Spoiler: show
omg I love you!

Nnnnh it's supposed to be but I didn't have a reference so it's really awful and I'm sososo sorry.It's great! It's really cute. (I'd probably end up taking Blorptroll away from Haiz at some point and begin caring for it myself.)

Eventually I'd probably end up carrying it around. Until I found a good place to hide/corral it.
Meanwhile, migraines for the night scout. Or whatever effects having a troll around would have on someone with some magical sensitivity but not enough for mage status. (i just went with migraines since i used to get them and lack of sleep can trigger them for me).Considering the Blorptroll screams, I doubt anybody would want it close. I'd end up keeping it out of sleeping places, or attempt to use it as a pillow to keep it quite.

That is perfect. I can totally relate to the hair thing, too (cue near-strangers asking to touch my hair).
Haha, can totally relate to this xD The feeling when you're sitting in class and feel someone behind you pull your hair to see if it springs back up (it does)
BAH I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR ART RIGHT NOW BUT APPARENTLY I HAVE NO SENSE OF PRIORITIES EITHER SO HEY. WIP for now though because I REALLY don't have time for this in fact why am I even doing this to myself why.Oh~ this looks really cool (so mysterious) :D

And a high-high-high-quality comic, that probably explains why Bosse prefers to hide. And why Marja will fired again.

Here's my falconer gal in one of her rare bouts of melancholy. Understandable though, since she's homesick and about to head out on a long expedition.

Also, I think I have a nickname for her now! Ari, which means, eagle (I think. Is the Nordic Names wiki (http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Main_Page)a reliable source?). When she's around strangers she doesn't feel comfortable using the "foreign" one her parents gave her. But more on that later! There's a lot that I want to share about Ari, but I want it to happen through interactions with other characters rather than just telling it outright.

As for the Nordic names wiki: I took a quick look at the Swedish names and there's a lot that I've never seen before and that don't sound remotely Swedish. I clicked at a random one and apparently there's 7 people in Sweden with that name, so I presume it lists all/most of the names registered in each country.
There's always http://www.behindthename.com/ (http://www.behindthename.com/), where you can also select a specific country, but it lists the origin of the name as well. I find it a lot more reliable.

Hmm, noted! Is there a reliable place where I can find Icelandic names, or just Scandinavian names in general? If Ari isn't a remotely accurate name, I don't want to offend anyone.

How about Arna? It means "eagle" - or if you'd like a name based on some other bird I've got Nöfn Íslendinga (= Names of Icelanders, a list of all Icelandic names and their meanings) right here! :)

Cool, thanks! Ari is confirmed as an Icelandic name but it seems to be for males WHOOPS. Maybe she didn't realize this when she chose the name but it kind of stuck because she is a falconer??? I'm not sure anymore.

Almond Godess, your Falconer looks lovely, and I want to comfort her! *gives apple, pats on back*
RTR: more comics, yay!
Solokov: Looks good :D
Haiz: I'm repeating myself but those sketches of yours are so expressive and well done. *Admires*
Mad Robin: I love the Bosse and Marja interaction there
Fauna, Kizzy, Antillanka, nice inserts, Welcome!

That's not lame at all, that's amazing!
I love that cat's expression.
Also, that last point is absolutely true.
Thank yooouu ;u;
I thought the cat seemed lame because a mistake I did with its hind legs. But if people like it then I take back what I've said :D
Yes, Alma has her priorities set straight.

Quick preview of gwenno's colorized photo. I decided to start over from the ground up because the way it was looking was destroying my calm, so rather than salvage a disaster (in my eyes) I removed all the original layers and started over.

I love this because my friends and I have an inside joke on our hair- for one, it's "bounce back" which is basically the above, for another, it's flipping her hair over her shoulder, and for me it's bouncing my bangs- we love to annoy each other. :)

So, here we have:
Strelokov - trying to upgrade a gun, as usual (and trying to restrain his urge to murder a screaming little troll);
Iina - tried to play with BlorpTroll but got bitten;
Freddie - looking for something to soothe Iina's pain;
Klarissa - holding an incredibly annoyed BlorpTroll that is screaming it's rage ("how dare they try to play with me, I'm no pet")
Ida - wondering how hard it would be to kill BlorpTroll with her tools;
Daéa - wondering why she agreed to come along with these people;
Galatea - doesn't matter how angry BlorpTroll is, Galatea still wants to poke it;
Mith - trying to block the noise with her books;
Matthew - wondering what is going on with these people.
I hope I was able to draw all your lovely sonas properly, I apologize for any mistakes.

I was feeling inspired to draw all the groups from our self-insert expedition, and of course, I decided to start with the group my sona is in.
GROUP 4 FOR THE WIN!
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/1014515010aa341023ef6037ccb0964a/tumblr_nq028zAOoy1taas6qo1_540.jpg) (http://daeareina.tumblr.com)
So, here we have:
Strelokov - trying to upgrade a gun, as usual (and trying to restrain his urge to murder a screaming little troll);
Iina - tried to play with BlorpTroll but got bitten;
Freddie - looking for something to soothe Iina's pain;
Klarissa - holding an incredibly annoyed BlorpTroll that is screaming it's rage ("how dare they try to play with me, I'm no pet")
Ida - wondering how hard it would be to kill BlorpTroll with her tools;
Daéa - wondering why she agreed to come along with these people;
Galatea - doesn't matter how angry BlorpTroll is, Galatea still wants to poke it;
Mith - trying to block the noise with her books;
Matthew - wondering what is going on with these people.
I hope I was able to draw all your lovely sonas properly, I apologize for any mistakes.
EDIT: I forgot Eich! He is away from all the noise, playing his guitar, as you can see.
True. That's so in-character xD He'll be like ''I don't care what they say, Imma poke it anyways.''
Hehe awesome pic! :3c

Omygosh I love it! Your art is wonderful and I feel like this is totally something that would happen. Iina might be good in actual dangerous situations, but she instead somehow manages to hurt herself in stupid and totally avoidable ways ;D
Post by: Daéa Reina on June 15, 2015, 03:53:12 PM
That's beautiful, Daéa
//wipes a single tear from her eye//
This is so great! I love how you were able to capture all the different personalities and characters! :)
You should totally do group 1 next XD
This is so. Perfect.
I really like the group dynamic and composition!

I think I'll draw the other groups by order (1-5), based on what has already been posted on the Expedition thread (if it is okay with everyone).

That's amazing, and as Haiz said if you manage to draw all of the groups, you're some kind of wünder-artist and we should all worship you or something (not sure how you'd do mine because it still doesn't have a picture, but just hide it or something because everyone else's are way better).
Also, love the facial expressions.

I like it. Though Strelok would probably be the one to duct tape it's mouth shut.
Aeeeeee, it's looking good and I'm so excited to see this finished ;D and you should see how many disasters I go though before posting anything here, it feels to me like I'm destroying a small forest :-\
I'd be a very bad forest service employee if I'd done it all on paper because of how much redoing and restarting I've done on this.

Nice. Though if Blorp is loud enough I would clamp my hands over my ears (like Lalli did upon meeting Sigrun) and glare at the troll and whoever ticked it off.

Such a lovely piece! I adore the soft (?) textured coloring~Thank you! It's been a while since I tackled an inked and painted piece. Glad that it came out well.
Awww, her sadness is so cute (heck, I wish I looked that nice when crying, haha)!! Ari is perfect, it matches her face! And the coloring is just beautiful!
Aww. She's so cute! Can I hugles her to make her feel better?
Two things : one, it's beautiful, two, I think I'd give her an hug.
Aww, thanks! Hugs are appreciated. C:

Aw, poor little thing ;n; The picture is lovely!
As for the Nordic names wiki: I took a quick look at the Swedish names and there's a lot that I've never seen before and that don't sound remotely Swedish. I clicked at a random one and apparently there's 7 people in Sweden with that name, so I presume it lists all/most of the names registered in each country.
There's always http://www.behindthename.com/ (http://www.behindthename.com/), where you can also select a specific country, but it lists the origin of the name as well. I find it a lot more reliable.
Thanks for the Behind the Name link. It is helping me nail down my name.

Working on my characters name. Katja for the first. Mother is Icelandic and being born in Iceland she is using the Icelandic naming. Mother's name is Svanna. So dose anyone know the correct way to put that with "-dottir"?
If we ignore the strict naming law rules the matronymic would be Svönnudóttir. If you want to go by the Icelandic law on names (ridiculously harsh) it would be Svönudóttir.
EDIT: the naming laws here are stupidly harsh. Let me rant about it in the spoiler cut.

If anyone wants the offical site that lists all the Icelandic approved names: https://www.island.is/mannanofn/leit/%20
It's not in english but I think if you google translate the page you should be able to get by. But just in case,
Stúlkur = girls
Drengir = boys
Millinöfn = middle names
Post by: JoB on June 16, 2015, 11:42:52 AM
You can't use foreign spelling, meaning that even in the off-chance that the naming committee allows the child a foreign name it still has to be spelled in an Icelandic way (and cannot have letters that are not in the Icelandic alphabet, such as C).[Ponders going on a donor spree in Iceland just to drive the bureaucrats to insanity]
To be allowed a foreign name the child has to have at least one parent of foreign ancestry, and over here that means that the parent must have been born outside of Iceland and have lived elsewhere for most of their life.

To set the proper mood, here's the national anthem (https://youtu.be/P-3y0nnNOK4) of Iceland... and here's the unofficial national anthem (https://youtu.be/n82uMVlkpws) that you hear wayyyyy more on the 17th June. :D In fact you rarely hear the real one, it's the Hæ hó jibbí jei that's played everywhere.
No one's wearing their work uniform because the National Day is definitely not for working. Some SSSSsonas didn't have a picture available so I went with whatever I had of them instead, and I reallyreallyreally hope I caught everyone whose character is Icelandic...

From left to right
Lára Árnadóttir (RTR) and a crucial part of the day, the cotton candy. It's everywhere. And yes, it does tend to come in blue, pink and white...
Sóley (Viola) trying to make sure the demons behave. It's a bit hard with loud crowds everywhere and all kinds of interesting things to see.
Sonja Eiríksdóttir (Noodly) and Lenny showing both their colours and the typical weather on the National Day - windy. Soooo windy.
Jón Llewelynsson (Para) getting pelted in the face with a mysteriously appearing bag of cotton candy.
Maja Yarasdóttir (SPG) - the snowy owl was left home because it liked to sleep during the days and huge, noisy crowds might upset it.
Katja Svönnudóttir (KMK): every year she thinks she can handle the crowds, every year she ends up stuck in one wishing she could go home. Her cat sympathizes.
Maria Skjöldursdóttir (Silenter) and Iða Kristínudóttir Leifsdóttir (wildfire) lounging around as you do. People skip this part only if it's raining.
Día Vikarsdóttir (Daéa), Karl Manúelsson (Dane Murgen) and Ari (Almond Goddess), more lounging around. A properly trained falcon can be sent to do your whole group's cotton candy purchases for you!

It's That Day in Iceland today, so to celebrate here's team Iceland! Originally I started to paint one picture but more characters kept joining the team, so in the end I just painted each one, cut the pictures out and propped onto a piece of paper... except one piece wasn't enough, which is why it has those obvious lines BUT let's pretend it doesn't matter.OOH (yes, I'm going to keep saying that)

Also, the fact that Jón is tall, gawky and even has hair that's similar to mine is super-cool, how did you knoooow? (you even included the glasses, ahh, thanks; it's genuinely pretty much how I imagined him, (ie: me, but somehow more awkward and Icelandic))

Nice scene! And that cat must be heavy... Or is it just fur? Anyway, this is pretty! :)
Haiz is significantly more experienced a mage than Lára.
And Lára is a very obtuse student.

I really like your comics! This is really good!
It's That Day in Iceland today, so to celebrate here's team Iceland! Originally I started to paint one picture but more characters kept joining the team, so in the end I just painted each one, cut the pictures out and propped onto a piece of paper... except one piece wasn't enough, which is why it has those obvious lines BUT let's pretend it doesn't matter.
To set the proper mood, here's the national anthem (https://youtu.be/P-3y0nnNOK4) of Iceland... and here's the unofficial national anthem (https://youtu.be/n82uMVlkpws) that you hear wayyyyy more on the 17th June. :D In fact you rarely hear the real one, it's the Hæ hó jibbí jei that's played everywhere.
No one's wearing their work uniform because the National Day is definitely not for working. Some SSSSsonas didn't have a picture available so I went with whatever I had of them instead, and I reallyreallyreally hope I caught everyone whose character is Icelandic...

Nevermind! You are amazing! *-*

I love it! Cute Icelandic sweaters and boots for everyone! Except for Sonja, Maja and Karl -- are they wearing historic garb? They look great too.
I listened to both your links and while I think the official Icelandic National Anthem is lovely (that arrangement is very Mendelssohn-ish, or maybe a Lutheran chorale is what it reminds me of), who can resist a song whose chorus goes, "Hi ho yippee yay!" (What's the translation of the rest of it?)

And secondly, Lára will eat every bite of cotton candy she can while singing Hæ hó jibbí jei until those around her beg for mercy.
Post by: Laufey on June 16, 2015, 09:06:32 PM
Piney: Clara is entirely invited to partake in the cotton candy, in fact anyone who's around is more than welcome to the party. This is a great addition to the picture. :D
Viola: this sounds like a great plan, don't forget your flag!
Daéa: I kind of... painted it little by little so I'm not sure how long it took after all. Thank you!
Sunflower: much agreed. The national anthem is fine, but the other one fits the mood of the day better.
A quick translation would go that "the flowers pop up to gulp down sunlight, summer rapture and half a year until Christmas. In their hearts people are happy and sing a little song, for the Republic of Iceland has birthday today.
Next it mentions Jón Sigurðsson, who has the nickname president despite never having been one, and Fjallkonan (= Mountain Lady, a mythological figure that represents Iceland) reading a poem. Selecting an important woman is an annual tradition on the 17th, she dresses up in the national dress and recites a poem.
Then it goes on about parades and music, small children with balloons and - if I'm correct - older ones with drinks and tobacco. Hot sausages are also mentioned as a stable treat of the day.
Lastly dancing goes on until the night with expensive entertainers from the south. Only rain can end the day's happiness, for when the gates of heaven open everyone goes home... which, alas, is another stable of the National Day, it rains so often...
RTR: thank you! I see you have the correct idea of how the day should be celebrated, that's exactly what I plan to do too.

thanks fear I was about to try and link to it!
Martti, this thread is a thread for all of us making characters based off ourselves and putting them in the SSSS world! For example, I'm an ex-mage Norwegian cleanser who loved science and has too much hair. There are lots of people with really co different jobs (Unlos is an apple farmer, almond-goddess is a falconer, lots of really cool niche professions) but you can see the general spread of professions in the document (LOTS of academics if the fighting life isn't for you.) It might not be updated, I'm away and I'm not sure how much KauniitaUnia is on :\

First up, my half of an art-trade with Gwenno.

(I promise your head doesn't look all squished on the original, it just got foreshortened in the photo)
Two Dreamworld-Sonjas, also my first two attempts at backgrounds in years. I'm proud of the one with the sea-stacks, the other I kinda blepped the colouring so it's not as good as I'd like.

(yes that is a real tree [the branches aren't all in the right places but it looks mostly like that] [it's in the Fairholme Campground, near Lake Crescent (which is almost 200m deep :O )])
Some sketches for the dreamworld-outfit:

That is so perfect. And you know why she braves the crowds? Her one exception to loud and crowded is live bands, really good bands.

It's That Day in Iceland today, so to celebrate here's team Iceland!Ah wow Laufey, that looks great! Your water colouring is amazing and it's wonderful how you have all the different characters doing their own thing :D
(http://i.imgur.com/BABFEEP.jpg)
OK, here goes a whole load of art/sketches:
First up, my half of an art-trade with Gwenno.
(http://i.imgur.com/ijARsG0.jpg)
(I promise your head doesn't look all squished on the original, it just got foreshortened in the photo)
Two Dreamworld-Sonjas, also my first two attempts at backgrounds in years. I'm proud of the one with the sea-stacks, the other I kinda blepped the colouring so it's not as good as I'd like.
(http://i.imgur.com/a7wJBOF.jpg)

(yes that is a real tree [the branches aren't all in the right places but it looks mostly like that] [it's in the Fairholme Campground, near Lake Crescent (which is almost 200m deep :O )])
Aeeeeeee! This is so cool, and colours to boot (I feel so spoilt now ;D ). I think this may be the first time someone's drawn a non crazy expression for a trade and I've got to say I'm quite liking it, makes her look more competent rather than just *enthusiastic* :P I really like the pose and how the movement is shown with the hair as well
These dreamworld Sonjas are pretty darn cool as well if I may say so :) You've good reason to be proud of the seastacks one as it is awesome (the feeling of wind in it is what I like best), and as for blepping on the other I don't think you really did ^_^ It has the same feel as the mossy forests where I live, except for bigger and older (I was waiting to see how the picture would turn out from when you commented on the other thread actually)
Haha, I think Bloptroll is glad that at least one person is scared of it ^_^
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/2c66d6e5ac1cde1084e87075fefba760/tumblr_nq3oqeXkDE1sw05nto1_1280.jpg)I can see that you had a lot of fun painting that ^_^ it shines though everything in the picture and makes it look so vibrant!
I finished my side of the art trade with Haiz!
Ze was so much fun to drawespecially since I actually got 3/4 view right for once.
Also I COME BEARING ART TRADES! multiple, because I've managed to finish both Haiz and Koalalou's today (woohoo!)
Firstly for Koalalou ^_^
I think this may be the calmest art trade I've drawn. Seriously, it has no trolls, no fire and no explosions, what the serious hell was I thinking? I quite like it though :P
(http://pre05.deviantart.net/94bb/th/pre/i/2015/168/d/a/koalalou_by_mursen-d8xo4c0.jpg)
And also Haiz
(http://img08.deviantart.net/6f2b/i/2015/168/5/5/haiz_and_rainbow_troll_by_mursen-d8xo3fp.jpg)
Rainbow troll attacks! Rainbow troll felt that it's position as the most colourful being in the dreamworld was being threatened and so was very rude and decided to invade Haiz's personal space! Rainbow troll is very strong unfortunately, but I felt so bad about doing this to hir that I created a mini comic of what happened next….

I can't draw but I can do.... something. Runo verse or personalized filk, or something. Because you know the beach group would need Sara to bring the sunblock, picnic basket, and extra towels. (This is assuming this is within a day-trip of Mora. If not, all bets are off.)

Anyone up for an art traddde??more art trades WOOOOO! :D I wanna get in on this beach pic! Just so you know, my skin tone is very blue all over. No tanning here. I get two more freckles then go straight to burn
Edit: Wait if any of you say "yes" your ssssona would be in a group beach pic. Is that ok?
OK BEFORE I GET KILLED FOR THISY E S I'm very interested in this as well O w O
I MADE AN SSSSONA HUNGER GAMES
DO YOU WANT TO SEE IT
Post by: Noodles on June 17, 2015, 11:09:59 PM
Aeeeeeee! This is so cool, and colours to boot (I feel so spoilt now ;D ). I think this may be the first time someone's drawn a non crazy expression for a trade and I've got to say I'm quite liking it, makes her look more competent rather than just *enthusiastic* :P I really like the pose and how the movement is shown with the hair as wellaaaaaaaa yay thank you so much praise :*) I'm glad you liked them ^u^
These dreamworld Sonjas are pretty darn cool as well if I may say so :) You've good reason to be proud of the seastacks one as it is awesome (the feeling of wind in it is what I like best), and as for blepping on the other I don't think you really did ^_^ It has the same feel as the mossy forests where I live, except for bigger and older (I was waiting to see how the picture would turn out from when you commented on the other thread actually)
(if I'd had more motivation, the tree and background would have been darker, to match Sonja's colouring, and the forest would have vertical dark/light bands to make it more like trees)
Also, I did better in that hunger-games than I was expecting. Last time someone put me in one of those, I grabbed a sword out of the cornucopia (srsly, Noodly? What did you think you were going to do with *that*??) and promptly got flattened. Which is totally fair, there's no way a sword would be more useful to me than "I ... I have a weapon and I'll use it on you!" "...your arm is twitching from the effort of holding it level." "shaddup"

Do you think they have vacuum cleaners in The Known World? I mean there are can tanks and other machines but maybe vacuums wouldn't be seen as necessary. But then, if the disease can be spread by vermin beasts and the like, maybe having was to clean stuff like that would help to stop outbreaks. While the cats kill the rats and other small beasts, someone immune could help clean out the nests that might be in a normal house.
And if they were common enough, households might have them too. Also then Ilmari could be found vacuuming the window drapes or something equally awkward. (this is what i get working for folks cleaning their house all day.)

Firstly for Koalalou ^_^
I think this may be the calmest art trade I've drawn. Seriously, it has no trolls, no fire and no explosions, what the serious hell was I thinking? I quite like it though :P

Uh...deeper, I guess. And I don't have an ear for accents whatsoever (lemme tell you about the time I mixed up British and German), so my brain translates your accent as 'nice voice' apparently. Also more regal-sounding-ish , I think?

But then, if the disease can be spread by vermin beasts and the like, maybe having was to clean stuff like that would help to stop outbreaks.Vacuums were invented in the 1860s, but remained a luxury item 'til about WWII. Even quite a while after that, they had issues combining power and maneuverability so as to truly get at the dusty places, and would not have been suitable to clean out anything heavier and stickier than dust.
Depending on where you need to clean up and how infectious the Rash is, using a post-Rash-grade vacuum might even be a non-starter. A vacuum having a filter that keeps it from just spreading microscopic allergens around (much smaller than the particles of common dust) is still not a standard feature even today.
(Fun fact: If you should ever have a chili powder spill, do not try to use a run-of-the-mill vacuum to clean it up unless it's pretty tame stuff or you can afford turning the room into an off-limits zone for a day or two.)

They're allergy resistant, being made mostly from lava and other volcanic bits, so you should be fine ;)

A bit like my mum then. She's this small, harmless-looking person and usually people largely ignore her up until the point that she decides to do something... and afterwards people don't even suspect it was actually her. She's also rather formidable when she goes in full power mode, I never realized just how strong she was before I saw her dangling my brother upside-down by the ankles (he was choking on a piece of candy). I guess working in the garden a lot does that to you.

If someone is interested and lets me know today, I have time to do one more art trade before I leave the continent and don't come back until august. I am leaving early sunday morning and I'll be on the forum duringmy trip, but I won't have all my art supplies with me, just a small pocket set of stuff because packing light and all that jazz.
Haiz your recordings are making me nostalgic for Norwegian. I have a really close family friend whose family is from norway and he always texts me in norwegian (or google translate icelandic which is hilarious) I ended up listening to the news in norwegian last night because of you. :)
(I listened to it in Finnish the other night for the first time and I actually figured out that they were talkig about the US presidential candidates and Jeb Bush. I have no idea why though on account of the fact that I don't understand actual Finnish words)

First of all, I'm sorry I haven't been on the forums a lot over the last couple of weeks! I have had a lot of work and revision build up recently, and I needed to take a break from time consuming internet things - mostly because I am a terrible procrastinator and will do anything to avoid work.
Which leads onto my second point, which is about the joint project; seemingly even banning myself from going online too much couldn't stop me from avoiding responsibilities, because I still decided to start work on the joint project that's currently in progress. Buuuut, having mostly finished the lineart I just realised that not only have I gotten the dimensions and resolution wrong, but there is now a prompt as well. Which my drawing doesn't really fit into. Oops.

I tried. I failed.
It looks like I'm going to have to start anew, but I might finish this some other time. It's all practice, I guess! I have one more week of trying to avoid the internet left but after that I'm good to go, so I'm looking forward to that at least :) Now I just need to try and catch up on all the posts I missed...

Um...I literally have no idea on what kind of background to put in there, well I do have an idea but it's basically the tracks and side to one of the armored vehicles. Also do you have any particular pattern you want for the magic spell you're concentrating on?
Also I found this and have no idea what to use this for but it's awesome.

Piney: Iceland Viola is perfect. Mage Viola is great too, I like the effects you've used to create a kind of television snowstorm from unspeakable dephts,
Viola: Me like :)
Solokov: I'ts coming along really nicely, I like watching your progress on these!

Also I like your art, very mysterious. And are you new? We have squirrel cookies for you! :)
i already like your 'sona. Metal things are my jam, dang.
Anyways, welcome to the forum and the crew! :D
Welcome, Fauna! I like your drawing, she looks really mysterious and prepared-for-anything.
Also, we have another Maja, so I vote we stage an xkcd bracket (https://xkcd.com/1529/)-style showdown. ;)
In all seriousness, there are 4 people with my name in my French class, and three or four others in the school. (Of course, there're also 2 Sam Ls and 2 Allison Ks in that French class, so who knows)
Fauna, you're absolutely new so welcome (!) but your art style is amazing!
I'm jealous (again) of yet another person on this thread.
Omg Fauna, Maja sounds awesome! x3
I like the art style, it's sinister. And the notion of a death metal tribe is ... well, interesting.
Hey all :) I'm a bit taken by surprise by how quickly these forums move, so late reply xD But thank you!

Their language:
They both are finnish born hungarian, or at least their father tried to keep the hungarian line into his children. He taught them, talked to them in hungarian, also their grandparents were talking mostly hungarian anyway. They almost never use hungarian, unless between each other privately to keep other out of their small talk. they both speak finnish as native and fist language, a bit of hungarian of course, Martti speaks more of icelandic because of his studies, while Riika speaks only veeery basics of icelandic (hello, how are you?). Riika got more interested in swedish when he had his studies, unlike Martti.
Martti also understand a bit of Swedish (and norwegian) but avoids to speak it. Riika is same with Icelandic.
Riika and Martti has ver slight accent on their hungarian, but they can speak it without any problem. Riika never cared to speak swedish perfectly and she has really strong finnish/hungarian accent on swedish. She learnt the language by using it to everyday life (friends), while Martti give more attention of learning the proper pronounciation of icelandic, and managed to speak it with very small accent.
Childhood:
The parents, one was finnish one was hungarian. Father was not immune, but really careful, but died early (when the children
Personalities and interests:
Riika:
he is a boyish girl, with interest of seeing the known world and loves travelling around. she is really sarcastic and often seems really rude. She never means any harm. She is really noisy and loud too. he seeks for attention.. She is learnt to be a healer doctor because parents make her, she almost finished her studies when she left it. she still could be a healer, but she decided to become something else she would like. She liked to the medical studies and is still interested, but she is more into travelling and exploring, wondering around.
Martti:
He is a bit nicer and calmer, prefers to be alone, but not completely. he likes people around him but he is prefer to stay out of the attention. He used to learn to be skald too, because of parents, He also left this studies, when he learnt about cleansers. He is into any kind of pyro stuffs.
EDIT I.:
Jobs:
They both had academic studies. Riika was getting trying to get to be a doctor/Healer, while Martti choose to be a skald, but both left school before completely finishing. The parents made them choose some academic studies. they simply lost interest in them as they were really close to finish studies. They also tried to work as them later. Riika tried to get an other job, as Scout, she thoguht it would be cool maybe and easy, Martti followed her, until he found out about cleanser job and joined to a group first. They joined to the military in Keuruu for a longer time, then moved to Saimaa, where they tries to get same job, but currenly unemployed. They also don't mind to work as Healer/Skald. They both more like freelance workers.
Love interests, sexuality and such things:
They never got any bond to other people for real, they got friends at many places, but mostly lost contact with them (happy to see them again anyway) they both had crushes many times, but got over it easily. none of them ever dated. They both has male and female crushes. They are unsure.
Family Tree:
On their father's side, everyone was (finnish born) hungarian. the father's parents were both hungarians, who was born in Finland. they met randomly and grew love and tried to keep the hungarian side. which half ended, when the father of the twins found a finnish girl. but he tried to keep the tradition and taugh the children hungarian and some tradition. trhe father's grandmother who is still alive, she loved to make clothes and make many clothes for her grandchildren, which Martti often wears (these clothes often has hungarian tradition themed stuffs on it)
the father died long time ago in an accident. The mother is still alive, living in Saimaa.

were around 14). the mother were immune, who took care of them (she was also a trained mage). They often travelled between places, they lived in sweden for a longer time, just like other cities in Finland. currently they live in Saimaa again. Martti and Riika was never separated for longer time, they always stick together.
EDIT II.:
Studies and skills:
- They studied a lot in Finland (age 5-12) then in Sweden (12-20), to get higher studies. the family was really a brainy family, even the father was never finished higher schools.
Because of parents they went to school for really long time, they are skilled for their studied, but they never got any papers about them (they are not official for them, but they could do those jobs easily with no problem)
Riika was sent to study medical studies, She was really talented in her own way. She knew everything but se could not pass the exams, whenever she had to say what she was doing.
While Martti was learning history, literature. at his younger age, he did translation of many hungarian books, or papers, he could got but he never give the translations out (probably they got lost too). he has a slitgly good sense to translate between hungarian-finnish-icelandic.
- They both have finnish mage skill, which they have never trained ever. They can't even use a spell at all. (Their mother and her family were mages) They were never interested or realized about their skill or ability about this. They often forget when they meet and talk in the dream world. They have a save dreamplace, which they share. it looks like an old Hungarian fort (often turns to a battlefield after fight). only abilities they have, they can sense when a beast, troll or giant are getting closer. they got trained for this by their mother, who said, if they feel anything, put mask on and hide. This is how they survived anywhere (the father had no this ability).

While riding in a chariot with scythe blades on the wheels.
Oops. Well Haiz is my fave too. (The glasseslessness threw me off)eeee
I am done with mine, which can be weird, since it is two instead of one, I basically slipped myself into a twins. Here it is....that is actually so cool!!!!! WELCOME TO THE SQUAD! both of... you..........

nice uniform on Martti, where'd he get such one as that?
Post by: viola on June 20, 2015, 04:11:48 PM
So let's see... Haiz plays the violin, right? Then Viola here - obviously - the viola. Yes I think we could put together some kind of a musical act on the off-chance we ever ended up NOT separated by the Atlantic ocean... anyway you wouldn't happen to play some instrument?
I can also play violin if I have to. But I don't actually own one. A lot of violin stuff can be done on viola as long as it doesn't go up too high. If you get up high like 5th position on the E string though, then that's hell to play on viola. But I used to go around school with a spare violin concerto in my bag and transpose it from treble clef into alto clef whenever I had a spare moment *is such a nerd* I may have also analyzed the entire chord progression in Bach's suite for solo cello in C Major during english class... (that was also the year I ate like 5 levels of music theory in a week and my teacher had no idea what to do with me)
Martti: I love your sonas! Your art work is so clean and well done!
Post by: Daéa Reina on June 20, 2015, 04:25:33 PM
Martti: First thought - wooo, this is so cute!!
Second thought - wait... that means I will have to draw not one, but TWO more characters in one of the expedition groups.
Don't mind me. Both of your ssssonas are amazing.

ooh, I have actually more ideas and stories for them, I had days to think of that for long time, but i am really bad at writing them all down. i kind of created the ancestors too (like the characters the prologue) for them.....
Martti: haha hi finn twins! You both look awesome ^^ I can see you used China's and Denmark's desing didn't you
and I tooootally based the hair on my old and current hairstyles..... i have now short and it is easily can be styles up like that, with no any hairproduct, while because I used to have long hair like that

Well, Ilmari grew up in Finland (Saimaa to be specific, and Pihlajavesi to be super specific)*, at some point in his teens he went with his parents to live with mom's family in Norway, and then he chose to move to Mora. So he's moved around a bit himself. Though I feel if he knew the twins before, it would be in an older brother way, since he is a bit older than them.
More likely though, they could meet up on base and he'd just be happy someone actually speaks Finnish.

I got that document, which shows well who is from which country, or at least the nationality (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.gad10b482b_25_0). who is actually finnish and which area they live/grew up, and who would be interested to be kind of friend (or enemy) with any of me (don't have to be both).
My characters moved in few places, not decided, born in saimaa, and currently lives there, but they lived in Mora as well (they studied there for a while) and lived at least 2-3 other finnish places for short time. (why moving is unknown yet)
One or both might know my insert. I'm not sure where he'd be from other than Finland at the moment.

She knew that those runes were gonna fall, but sometimes fate just needs a little push.Lára is being a good friend and make sure the runes topple over blorptroll instead of Haiz. too bad Haiz didn't know that

Edit: I just now noticed blorptroll's little hand about to topple the stacks and I feel really stupid now, oh well.

Kick, those are some pretty great swords.
Daea: I love the group picture, and the interaction between the different characters.
EDIT: Calli, Karenanna looks really good. And falling asleep anywhere, and surviving most anything? Sounds like there's quite a bit of cat in there..
I finished my trade with Daiseerose, I hope you like it:

Here's a bit of a breakdown of the process, if you're interested:
[spoiler]I use a looot of layers atm.
First, the sketch, done on its very own layer (not the backgraound layer but a new one)
(http://i.imgur.com/8nmdNzA.png?1)
Then I add the clipping masks: which are the base colors of each garment (skin/sweater/pants/boots/hair/cat)
(http://i.imgur.com/JgW5zvb.png?1)
Finally I put in shadows and highlights, and hide the layer with the original sketch!Having the clipping masks at the bottom of each makes me not having to worry about being very precise. The background, is in one sketch-backgroundlayer and one color-background-layer.

...... I'm almost tempted to draw people finding Haiz and Karna sleeping on random places.
"check the top ofnthe tires fo the tank to see if there aren't any cats there, they tend to sleep there in winter"
"... there's a mage here"
"hey can you go to the supply storage place and get me a real food thing"
"...... does this cleanser kid count as food,, because, um,,,,"

Anyway Strelok borrowed Eich's guitar sat on top of the tank and was playing an accented version of Johhny Cashe's "God's Gonna cut you down" to a crowd of trolls while a couple of the more explosively oriented people prepped to drop a few sticks of dynamite and firebombs onto them.
Awesome dream I think.

I'm trying to write them into a note on my phone right now so I don't forget--my sister reminded me that I have a couple out outstanding art requests I promised to do for a couple of her friends too, so I figured I should keep better track of this stuff xP

HELLO HELLO TO YOU! Yay for couriers, they are super important! Your character gave me inspiration for what I thought I could be (because risking life and limb to go out and battle monsters all day? nuh-uh, no way i could do that IRL), so yay for that too!
I'm sure Mimmi and Marja will be friends, as soon as she can move past your *ahem* somewhat shoddy methods of mail delivery. She just needs to get off her high horse and relax a little ::) The two are just too fun and cute to not be friends :)
Blanket for all saying you guys are so cool and awesome! Never stop <3Alrighty then, I promise not to stop!
Way too many moving parts for fluff to get caught it! He might have tried it at some point and hated you forever after... but generally he's much busier picking up all the stuff Marja drops xDAnd I'm sure that as soon as the poor baby got stuck in the spokes Mimmi would have stopped the bike and been pleading as the cat skulked away,
"NO KITTY I'M SORRY IT WASN'T MY FAULT I LOVE YOU PLEASE COME BACK FORGIVE MEEEEEE!!!"
I've accidentally stepped on my own cat's tail once or twice, and I guarantee I've groveled just like that. He holds grudges :'(
Really pretty, I'll join the people admiring your work with coloring! I love the raven, too. And all the thoughtful details in your picture.Aaawww, thanks! I'm glad so many people like the little details, I stressed out way too much over them... OTL

OHMYGOOOOOODDDDD, SHE'S THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEEEENNN!
hhhhhnnnnn
YES, YES, YES, that girl is the MOST BEST. That's exactly what I was going for, she's like EXACTLY what I wish I looked like! HOW DID YOU KNOW??? I need to read more Norwegian literature. Mimmi would also most definitely wear that outfit, and sit in that exact pose.

Part of the reason why I lost my motivation is because the drawings in this thread aren't organized (not that I expected them to be, of course), which makes it kind of hard to find the references I need. And I can't even keep a line of thought for very long, much less organize all these characters in a way that makes it possible for me to draw them cx
I will try again later, though. Probably when I get back from North Norway in a few weeks ;3

And uumm, I know this thread can be daunting, but if you go to the first page of the SelfInsertPermission thread, it has a link to the info dump, which should have pics, bios, and extra links to more pictures of each self made character.
Hope that was helpful :)

Oh, I know about the infodump. But as far as I could tell, it only shows one drawing of each character, and I'm way too much of a perfectionist to draw someone else's character unless I can be absolutely certain that I'm drawing them correctly <_<

there's no point in linking to my magesona tag (http://unicorngender.tumblr.com/tagged/magesona) since you've already drawn me, then... but hey if anyone is looking for haiz references I have plenty. I do understand the struggle though, since I've kind of moved on to doing a lot of art trades instead of drawing everyone ever, I spend a lot of time searching up various references.
oh and welcome new self inserts!!!!

(http://i.imgur.com/nGEM6or.jpg)
Part of the reason why I lost my motivation is because the drawings in this thread aren't organized (not that I expected them to be, of course), which makes it kind of hard to find the references I need. And I can't even keep a line of thought for very long, much less organize all these characters in a way that makes it possible for me to draw them cx
I will try again later, though. Probably when I get back from North Norway in a few weeks ;3

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THANK YOU so much??!?? I LOVE THE WAY YOU DREWMEHAIZ
Omg this is awesome--Shane looks so pretty!
I'm glad you guys like them! I was so worried I wouldn't be able to do them justice ;~;

Thanks! Here goes:
Arbet Skugganotadi
Age: 26
Height: 6"4
Weight: 192 lbs
Eye Color: Gray
Hair Color: Black
Immunity: Yes
Occupation: Former Cleanser/Mage
Nationality: Icelandic
Bio: A Dagrenning baby. Showed early signs of being a powerful mage, and was quickly trained. Showed high skill and ambition, and volunteered for Cleanser teams. During one incident in Year 88, his squad was attacked and overwhelmed by an unexpected Giant. Arbet used his powers to drop a building on it, despite being badly wounded. Was rescued shortly thereafter. Over the following year, his magic....changed. Rather than repelling and killing the Infected, the spells seemed only to draw them closer, though it killed them in the process. Arbet disappeared into the Silent World on a routine mission shortly thereafter. Though assumed dead, reports of a "shadow mage" living near what was once Hamburg have occasionally drifted in. According to these reports, Arbet has survived, and continues to slaughter Infected, his powers growing greater and darker by the day.
Abilities:
Confirmed:
Markmanship, especially with high-caliber handguns.
Knife fighting skills.
Standard Cleanser training.
Unconfirmed:
Shadow manipulation
Teleportation
Superhuman speed and strength
Quote: "How far we have fallen. Time to climb."
aw yes
cool self-insert
hello
And then I started wondering how my self insert would react to yours, and then this happened. (i was going to draw it, but i am weak and pooping this out in like 3 hours was way easier)

Will there be more Alexis shenanigans? Yes. Haiz, you're next up on Alexis' annoy list. Just a warning.

HEYO! It'sa ME, TRINKA! Whahhoooo!
ok I'm done now with the Mario reference
Mah sister drew MOAR ART! YUS!
Mad Robin, this one's for you ;)
This one is most likely of Mimmi and Marja's first meeting. Mimmi does not approve of her shoddy delivery habits, and is ripping her a new one. Marja is of course a sweetheart about it, also, OHMAHGURD fat Bosse with mail in his little kitty mouth! Swagger also does not approve, and is telling her off in the only way he knows how; squawking loudly.

I think I'm going to finish yours before agreeing to more trades, I don't like having too much on my plate because I start stressing and end up doing nothing :v

North if you're not booked yet, I'd like to try a trade with you o 3o
I just finished a couple of things on my to-do list so I've got space open--and obove all that I'd love to see Shane in your style--especially the hair if that makes any sense xD
If you're booked though then that's cool

Poor Mimmi's nerves! It's impossible to explain to Maria that her method of delivery is terrible. Gosh, this girl is still alive only because of a cat who's looking after her.
Meanwhile I have something for Unlos.
Don't ask about the pose, I don't know what is this :D
The Spontaneous Dance With Apples maybe?
And ADORABLE CURLY HAIR EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it was a pleasure to draw them.

I'm here with my half of an art trade with Callipygous (getting art done quickly, yeah, I'm on a roll!)
So the reasoning behind this is that one of the things I found funny about her character is that they pick up useless skills, like juggling. And with a spaztastic go-getter like that hanging around, of COURSE they would have tried juggling knives at some point in time. But hasn't died yet, so there's that.

Trinka DUDE I love the way you colour!! Are your drawings big? Just wondering 'cause it seems like you got a lot of details there. I usually use half of an A4-paper for one drawing when using pencils, I don't like working on too much space 'cause my porportions end up all wobbly.

And Trinka, what a wonderfully inventive Calli, juggling not only with knives but with differently shaped knives!! I'd probably run or close my eyes too..I'd probably yell at her until she got so annoyed she stopped, and then I could rest easy. Usually works for me IRL ::)

[heart eyes] guyssss your art is so coolThank you! I think it's kinda funny how much people like my coloring; I thought everyone used colored pencils and they were just a poor man's choice? I find them super easy to work with, so I'm glad people like it so much!

And nope, I don't really do my art very large. I usually use an 8.5 by 11 inch (standard printer size) piece of paper and draw within the confines of that space. Calli's picture was on 7x10inch paper, so a bit smaller. I just really like small details, and have an XSmall nib pen for inking (http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/shrug2.gif)

This time it's an art trade with Haiz! Ze's magesona, because I don't think it's gotten enough love.
Watercolors this time, becuase I haven't used those in a while, and I thought they'd lend themselves well to the dream realm.

This time it's an art trade with Haiz! Ze's magesona, because I don't think it's gotten enough love.And because I wanted to find an excuse to draw a unicorn.I don't care if riding your spirit animals isn't cannon, I want Haiz shooting magic arrows from on top of a spirit unicorn dang-nabbit!
Watercolors this time, becuase I haven't used those in a while, and I thought they'd lend themselves well to the dream realm.

Trinka, how many sisters do you have? Or is it just one that does all the drawings? :P
Anyway, there's so much new stuff here, congratulations to all! <3
Haha, just the one older sis-that's me! We have a younger brother too...

So the character herself is still a work in progress, but my 'sona will be an Icelandic mage and this is her in her dream regalia (she would be far too practical to have her hair flowing everywhere otherwise)!

I just finished a full-body pose for my 'sona, who I have decided will be named Anna (short for Johanna)! She is a Norwegian hunter-mage (she received mage training in Iceland). ;D She takes her work very seriously, is quite practical, and therefor usually has her long hair back in some kind of braid, in this case an updo! She carves runes into her equipment and onto plastic tags that she then hooks onto her smaller belt for easy access, who knows what the contents of that pouch are ...

I think using watercolors for the dream world piece was a good move, since it adds to the atmosphere :)The idea of having the unicorn being see-through is really neat!
mad robin: I like the pose and you draw curly hair beautifully!! :D
Alethryia: Your insert is really pretty :) What are the runes at her belt for?
mithrysc: Wow, that style is really cool :o

That's - wow, holy wow, I did NOT expect that and it's brilliant! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You got the clothes so accurately I'm wishing I could go have a walk in a forest, so it's a bit of a shame Iceland has maybe one forest and that's a tiny one but still. I'm just... going to save this pic and put it everywhere because I can and no one can stop me. Mwhahahaha sweet dreams to Laufey. :D THANK YOU AGAIN HAIZ I'm kinda speechless here because it's just... so awesome, and awesome is not big enough a word to describe my feels, even. Maybe I'll just scream a bit more.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! It's perfectly in character too... "I'm pretty sure I carved it right..." (Well, technically she did, it's just that she carved a mosquito-attractant rune instead of a repellent one)

AAAAAAAAAAa your art is REALLY BEAUTIFUL
I wish I could handle watercolours like that
;D THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ;D I wouldn't say that watercolors are the easiest, but I do find them a very forgiving medium because you can "erase" by adding more water and make something darker by adding more pigment. They're really fun to play with, so I'd recommend that- try adding rubbing alcohol, sugar, salt, and "lifting" colors by dabbing them with cotton balls for really cool effects if you haven't yet! <3
OH MY GOSH she is so cool! I love her!! And that updo! Love the idea of a hunter-mage and those runes carved on equipment ouo

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa, I cannot say thank you enough!!! You guys are all AWESOME! <3
Alethryia: Your insert is really pretty :) What are the runes at her belt for?
The runes at her belt are for a variety of defensive spells, they clip on so she can switch them to make whatever runes she believes are most relevant to the situation readily available!
You definitely got the look your wanted ;D

This is important because that means I can continue editing the infodump (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit?usp=sharing)! If you posted any art (of your ssssona), information (about your ssssona), or new SSSSonas here in the past 3 weeks, please PM me so I can get all that together and onto the infodump. Otherwise my usual infocrawl would take a large amount of time and I'd likely miss something.

Mimmi and Swagger. Mimmi was probably trying to deliver some mail but there was something guarding the door so she couldn't get in. Thankfully Swagger is trained to deal with these situations (or who knows, maybe it just saw something interesting and decided to investigate).

This drawing just got a bit more detailed than originally planned - there's still tons of fiddling I could do but at the same time I think it works as is: Art trade with Mad Robin (I originally planned on putting her on a bike but as Bosse seems to be opposed to that I started thinking of what kind of transportation Marja would use. I ended up with a winter version. She's really very skilled at Telemark style:

I haven't done any marker work for a while. When I did I used Rapidograph ink pens to do the line work. Then I would use a copy machine to copy it onto (what is called in the States) onion skin paper. it is finicky and easy to jam in the machine so sometimes it takes a couple of trys and I found that feeding the paper in manually (instead of putting it into the drawer) worked best. Make more than one copy so you can have practice pieces. Then I used professional markers to provide the color. The pro markers can make the Rapidograph ink run but the copy machine ink is heat set and stays in place. If you would like to see the result I can post a picture I did that is in my portfolio.

Oh wow, I love it! I think the colors turned out just fine, no problems here. So pretty, I love the way you leave the picture soft, with pencil lines showing, rather than outlining everything in black like I do. Laufey, Queen of Watercolors, strikes again!
I imagine Mimmi has had to deal with quite a few situations like this, and has learned to keep a straight face, even when she is internally screaming. KILL IT DEAD SWAGGER! GOOD RAVEN!
Then mail delivery can continue, and all will be right in the world again :D

She mostly keeps to herself at Seiður, not talking about her past much, partially because she was forbidden by the government but also because she knows that no one would want anything to do with her if they knew about her past and what she did
Her demon cats sometimes misbehave and get into mischief, therefore she can sometimes be seen chasing them through hall ways yelling in Icelandic and throwing galdrastafir at them, causing small explosions and other minor damage until they stop eating her magic books or whatever it was they were doing that they shouldn’t have been
She recently joined group 1 of the SSSS Expeditions because she wanted to leave Seiður and had previously been prohibited from leaving by the government
She’s a bit shy and nervous to be working with a group for the first time in her life, but feels loyal and dedicated to the group and the mission

Oh, this is really cute! I love how we can see your progression in technique over all this time, keep up the good work!
I love how Mimmi has made it her mission in life to improve Marja's delivery methods, for the benefit of society and her own sanity (that's totally something I would doooo).
"As per Mimmi's specs": I LOLD SO HARD!
You have no idea how much I laughed at this! Thank you for including Bosse! :D
Thank you so much! That makes me so so happy ;D Bosse just needed to be in this picture, you can't say no to a cat that tells you he belongs in the drawing. And being winter and snow everywhere, SOMEONE had to make sure those letters would arrive somewhat safely.

That is ok :) You can bug her all you want. Who knows what'll happen? One day she might be totally exhausted and let something slip...
And petting the hell cats is totally allowed, just at your own risk. Ask yourself: Do I really need all my fingers? Are they really that important to my daily life and well being? If the answer is "No" then go right ahead, pet alllllll you want :D

As for why he’s catching the train, that will hopefully be answered in a later story featuring Haiz’s ssssona as well. (This is all taking place a year or two before the big self-insert expedition brewing in the other threads.)

Ok, so some people have been curious about Sóley's background, especially with the tarot card that Laufey made earlier. I have decided that I will finally post some of her bio here so that people can know a bit about her and hopefully it will help with the stories and stuff that are being worked on. So yep. Here it is for those of you who were asking me about it. For those of you who weren't, here it is anyway :P
Name: Sóley Elín (goes by Sóley)
Age: 19
Nationality: Icelandic
Area of Birth: Iceland
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Mage
Languages: Icelandic, Danish
Bio (sort of):
Born in rural Iceland to [classified] and [classified] as [classified]
Her father was a skald who spoke several languages, including a few dead old world languages, he taught her Danish because he thought it might come in handy one day, he also taught her to love books
Her mother was a mage and when she noticed that her daughter had an affinity for magic she began to tutor her informally
Sóley began a self study in [classified] at age [classified] and began experimenting with [classified] magic
[classified] went horribly wrong [classified] …. [classified]
Found by [classified] living alone in [classified] …. [classified] for [classified] years
Name changed from [classified] to Sóley Elín, relocated by the government to live at Seiður for proper training
Currently lives alone at Seiður academy in one of the boarding dorms for Norwegian mages (possibly how she met Haiz)
Has two hell demon cats named Sindri and Aska she obtained from [classified] during [classified] …. [classified]
She mostly keeps to herself at Seiður, not talking about her past much, partially because she was forbidden by the government but also because she knows that no one would want anything to do with her if they knew about her past and what she did
Her demon cats sometimes misbehave and get into mischief, therefore she can sometimes be seen chasing them through hall ways yelling in Icelandic and throwing galdrastafir at them, causing small explosions and other minor damage until they stop eating her magic books or whatever it was they were doing that they shouldn’t have been
She recently joined group 1 of the SSSS Expeditions because she wanted to leave Seiður and had previously been prohibited from leaving by the government
She’s a bit shy and nervous to be working with a group for the first time in her life, but feels loyal and dedicated to the group and the mission
Arbet's reaction to her would run along the lines of "at least you don't attract monsters all the time". Then he'd pet the demon cats, and succeed because he's just as demonic as they are.

Go for it! Julian himself is an atheist so I don't think Karl's going to be converting him anytime soon, but I'd be interested to see a priest's take on this all the same :)
And I'm glad people liked the story!

The sonas are quite interesting! It's kind of like a blend of Minna's comic mixed with who a person is, who they want to be, what kinds of things they have running around in their head, and other subconscious influences. It's also so fascinating to see different people's takes on displaying their own and other people's sonas. I know at least when I draw or write I always end up putting pieces of myself into it, even if I am trying not to. Anyway, that is the psychology student in me trying to claw it's way out and analyze things. I'll go tell it to be quiet :P

If any of you are feeling bad because people haven't reacted to your posts/art/stories, don't be. We are, and often times we love them.
Problem is, we just don't post it.
I know, kinda weird. But I know personally for a fact that I can see art that I really love on this forum, or read something very well written, and not post anything in response. I silently admire it in my head (or vocally by squealing out loud), but as far as the forum community is concerned, it's like I never even saw it.
I'm a lurker. As are many other people on the forum! We look, but don't say anything. I feel bad about this, because I know praise helps people feel good about their posts, and inspires them. (I've often stressed out myself because only 3 people have commented on my art, but I know more people have seen it and liked!) But it's just something I do.
Sorry long post! Long story short, keep on posting, and never be discouraged, because I guarantee, we all like it!

I haven't done any marker work for a while. When I did I used Rapidograph ink pens to do the line work. Then I would use a copy machine to copy it onto (what is called in the States) onion skin paper. it is finicky and easy to jam in the machine so sometimes it takes a couple of trys and I found that feeding the paper in manually (instead of putting it into the drawer) worked best. Make more than one copy so you can have practice pieces. Then I used professional markers to provide the color. The pro markers can make the Rapidograph ink run but the copy machine ink is heat set and stays in place. If you would like to see the result I can post a picture I did that is in my portfolio.
I would love to see the piece from your portfolio, funny that I haven't heard of onion skin paper paper before (live on the west coast of the U.S.)! ;D

I added few more information in the first post of them. I wish I could like work with other ssssonas, to make them as friend or someone they worked/work with or anything, it could be cooler, but for working on that par I need other's ssssonas, I don't want to choose randomly.....
my characters basically lived mostly some places in Finland as really young, then moved to Sweden (they studied there) then came back to Finland. the parents were most that kind who loved to travel, even it was not the safest, but they both grew up with danger, so they are not affraid to go out to the wild either (even they need mast all the time)
I didn't decide on cities/places, neither for Finland or Sweden. they were Born in Saimaa, and they once lived in Keuruu as well, that's it, and lived at some other finnish places also. for Sweden, only one city they lived, where they had studies (what you can offer to get studies????) probably visited more places there, but not living other places.

EDIT: I found a list of most of the new SSSSonas that were posted, but I'm pretty sure that I missed some that were posted, so please continue to PM me new information unless I PM you first :0 Thank you guys so much, it's a bit difficult keeping up the infodump sometimes (especially because KauniitaUnia, my other mod, isn't as active here.)
How come? Are you putting together some sort of list? Wouldn't it be much easier to just have an open Google Doc or something so that anyone could edit in and work on their own character information?
Thanks for doing it, though. But you might want to see if you can get that kind of information in the OP, if the person who started the thread is still active on the forums.

I'll try to get to a computer today and put the link to it in the into post that I still need to write--at the very least I should have put that in so people could be directed to the doc more easily > A<

That would be really nice. It's great that someone is putting together all the info and stuff, but as a newbie I can't really comb through over 180 pages to find the summaries that may or may not be there.. you probably wouldn't need to repeat yourself so much if there was an easily accessible 'master post' with all the information an SSSS fangirl would need to jump on the self-insert train ;)

Ahh your art is really pretty!
And yes, it's a google doc with everybody on there for ease of art and fanfiction writing-reference. It would certainly be easier, but I've had some less-than-great experiences with open google documents, so although it's inefficient I can make sure that nothing majorly terrible will happen ;__;
As for that (koalalou this might be easy to just copy over) I've actually made an index on the first post of my organization thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=486.0) so that should help??
Post by: Haiz on June 28, 2015, 06:28:58 PM
- this thread didn't start the way threads usually do, it was ripped out of the fanart thread because the self-inserts started growing in there - and while I was the first to post a self-insert, dear darling koalalou was ended up having the first post to get turned into this thread, making her the OP. Which is a shame in that she was then gone from the forum while the thread actually appeared and till it grew like, 80 pages or something? meaning the first post never got updated into something informative - it should be soon, though!
(koalalou you know I love you so don't take this as any critique! I'm merely implying that if I had ended up as the OP the first post would've maaybee been super informative from the get-go ahaha ha... when you get around to fixing it, please add links to the doc, the self-insert expedition thread (the thread for fics about the inserts!), the expedition organization thread, and maybe even the collaboration project, while it's still going?)
- and everyone who is afraid of posting things: please don't be!!!! a lot of us are super interested in whatever you have! and even if it doesn't seem to get a lot of comments, it's as Trinka said - a lot people just lurk without commenting on everything, and that does not mean it went unappreciated. I always appreciate everything, even if it takes really long for me to catch up on text-heavy stuff.
We don't want to intimidate non-artists away!!!

Are we allowed to just pop up randomly and say "hey, I want this character to exist" or is there like an initiation process we have to go through in order to be a proper self-insert?
Nope! Just give your character a bio,and you're good to go!

You have to click your heels three times in a row, backwards, and the if Laufeytroll appears in the mirror you can have a self-insert.
Ahaha, no, of course you can just show up with a character! Although if you do the above and Laufeytroll DOES appear I must say you're probably blessed by the self insert gods or something

I drew a thing!! *insert fanfare and confetti* Feartheviolas asked me to draw this because she's sadly far away from most of her art supplies. So I want to make it very clear that the comic idea was hers. The dialogue is hers. I just drew it :)

Yes here is that promised information thingy. It's partially inspired by some stuff I had to yell for a school project recording thingy (You had to yell in Icelandic for a project at your English speaking school? Why? Ehhh well it's kind of a really long story that partially involves Hamlet) and also partially inspired by Laufey's Iceland day picture :D
Basically I wanted to give a bit of a picture of Sóley's character and the demon kitties and Ana helped me out with the art because travel is crazy and it would have taken me months to find the time. Thank you Ana!! :D

This drawing just got a bit more detailed than originally planned - there's still tons of fiddling I could do but at the same time I think it works as is: Art trade with Mad Robin (I originally planned on putting her on a bike but as Bosse seems to be opposed to that I started thinking of what kind of transportation Marja would use. I ended up with a winter version. She's really very skilled at Telemark style:I just had a thought... what happens when she's going to fast and suddenly stops... poor Bosse!!

Post by: Unlos on June 29, 2015, 02:34:10 PM
I just had a thought... what happens when she's going to fast and suddenly stops... poor Bosse!!Well, that is a problem. For both of them, as it's in the nature of skiing to not stop suddenly unless you encounter an unexpected tree or stone. The turns at Telemark is a lot smoother than some other downhill styles, so he shouldn't fall off at those points either. So as long as Marja doesn't go over a cliff or into a tree, they should both be all right. I firmly believe Bosse will keep that from happening :D

but on the other hand... Bosse has claws and fangs. Nobody wins in that situation.
So as long as Marja doesn't go over a cliff or into a tree, they should both be all right.In this case they're doomed

This art trade is for Koalalou, our poor misled Canadian.

The real vikings are kind enough to set her straight. (http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/meow.gif)

Of course I shall do an art trade with you, and they'll be pretty close on the expedition (they are, in fact, in group 3) so Karri will probably be working closely with them on the weekends.

A fellow Swedish scientist! I hope Rune has a bit more common sense than my own self-insert Julian, who was last seen brewing up very nasty-sounding explosives derived from magical hair dye and making Karri and Kicknrun's Alexis rather nervous... That aside, I'm sure our ssssona's will find some common ground over how cool the Rash is.
Or perhaps not?
Okay sorry for doubleposting, but I have noticed a strange phenomenon that I find actually kind of hilarious? For some reason everybody is putting Karri/me in charge of me and the expeditions with Karri as the leader or something, but guys have you even seen Karri
I think that's probably because you started the expedition organisation thread. I guess you could be Team 2's unofficial leader, perhaps?

Pff, I forgot to comment on these, the first one really cracked me up.
I'd imagine there's no one leader for the whole troop, but one for each group. Like group 1's would be the most experienced scout, group 2's would be one of the troll hunters, group 3 I don't know (but I guess whoever's the most competent), group 4's would be the most experienced medic, and group 5 wouldn't have a leader because they're on the home front and wouldn't need one. Though I can imagine Clara seeing Karri as leader of the cleansers or just as someone who she can ask dumb questions to.

Maybe we could assign Fimbulvarg as the leader of Group 3, just to see what would happen.

Thank you!
Humm, let's see...Thank you! Hair has been super hard for me to color, since I've mostly drawn hair with pencil. Switching to digital and colored is certainly different, so I'm experimenting a bit. This way is closer to the pencil-teqnique than anything else I've done so far.
Unlos: I really like how you drew her hair, so pretty! :)
I come bearing two more sketches:

Post by: Viisikielinenkantele on June 30, 2015, 05:22:03 PM
I thought you could use a musician for the obligatory parties...
My self-insert:
Name: Aamu Suonen
Age: 28
Origin: Finland, Ontojärvi
Profession: Musician, Skald
Immunity: yes
Languages: Finnish, Swedish, English, a little bit of Icelandic, Norwegian, Italian, German
Hair: reddish blond
Eye-colour: blue-green
Aamu began to sing before she could speak and as soon as she could ask questions, pestered the old ones in her settlement about songs, instruments
and music in general. When she discovered that there was a whole world of music consisting of old sheet music and CDs (and a working CD-Player)
in her grandmother's attic, she knew her destiny: she would try to learn and preserve as much music from before the ending of the old world as she could.
While caring for her grandmother and other retirees in her settlement she learned everything from them she could, including runo-laulu, playing the kantele, piano, flute
and a little bit of every instrument she could lay her hands on.
Soon after the death of her beloved grandmother she began traveling all over the known world, working as a wandering bard and always searching for new
music. Every time she feels she has learned a sufficient amount of the regional music (or is thrown out because of her ability to annoy everyone around her), she travels on.
Her language skills come from the need to understand the lyrics. This led to a very wonky vocabulary (just guess what italian words you learn solely
listening to italian opera)
Fun Fact: Because of her immunity status she felt that she wanted to contribute to survival of humanity and donated to the Dagrenning program (the other
reason was maybe that she was utterly broke when coming to Iceland but she doesn't like to be reminded to this profane reason).
Sometimes she thinks of her probable offspring and wonders if they're happy. But honestly she doesn't want responsibility for children now.
Aamu is not very interested in violence but is skilled in throwing knifes. She refused to learn to shoot though.
Her curiosity often gets the better of her and she is known to be thrown out of more houses of elderly people than anybody else because of her relentless
pestering.
She would probably try to train Blorp-Troll to scream in pitch with her and poke Laufey-Troll again and again, just to find out how it makes the
accordion-noises...
When you search for her, you can find her probably sitting somewhere with an instrument playing to herself and trying to fit her lyrics to an old-world-melody
She often ends up writing new lyrics because the old ones don't fit the modern world in her opinion (no copyright-problems, yay!). In her free time (which she has a lot at daytime, because she mostly plays in the evenings, heh...) she is writing on and off a comparative history of music. But it probably never will be finished, since she is never stopping her research.
This little scene came to my mind (I don't know if anyone remembers this awful song, but I found the thought funny that she would sit there and rack her brain what the text means) :

Anyway, I imagine if your ssssona ever made it to Mora, Aamu and Sara's paths would cross, given our common interests in the Old World and old-time music, languages, and technology. (Sara even knows what a Barbie is.) Maybe she could be a beta reader for Aamu's manuscript?

Anyway, I imagine if your ssssona ever made it to Mora, Aamu and Sara's paths would cross, given our common interests in the Old World and old-time music, languages, and technology. (Sara even knows what a Barbie is.) Maybe she could be a beta reader for Aamu's manuscript?
I am sure that at one point she would be in Mora :) As for the beta reader thing, I think Aamu would freak out at the prospect of actually showing her work to someone else. But maybe Sara can coax her patiently.
Viisikielinenkantele that's really great. And it's nice to see other Finnish ssssonas that have traveled. Ilmari would probably also be interested if she ever came to Mara (and he had a night off work to do something). She might even get him to talk first. :P
IRL i've always loved music of basically all kinds. I'm guessing you're a music person too.
She would surely be delighted to meet your SSSSona! You will find her at the bar after performances in whichever pub she plays at the moment. ;D
Misea: Wow, your self-insert looks really good!

AAAAAH these self-inserts are all so CUTE *flops on bed after reading 120 pages*She looks cool, and excellent work on the backstory. It'll be interesting to see how she fits in with the rest of the crew. :)
Uhhhhh I'm so late to this party (college i h8 u) but here's my self-insert (I took a few days longer than I thought I would because of my dratted elbows FFFFFF):
Expedition uniform:
(http://pre01.deviantart.net/b941/th/pre/i/2015/181/8/8/ssssona_by_carolrtang-d8zebc3.png)
Mage outfit + lineart (maybe I'll add shading + more details later--totally burnt out right now):
(http://img06.deviantart.net/344b/i/2015/181/b/8/ssssona_mage_outfit_by_carolrtang-d8zebz7.png) (http://pre14.deviantart.net/b343/th/pre/i/2015/181/3/7/ssssona_mage_outfit__lineart__by_carolrtang-d8zg3fw.png)
I have a headcanon that mages descended from non-Nordic ethnic groups totally have some of their ancestors' cultural clothing/accessories in the dreamworld.
Also my hair is actually ridiculous. There's straight strands in the back underneath the big curls (there's really small weird curls along individual strands GO FIGURE) and the front is wavy, and then sometimes a small-ish bunch of strands will look like I curled them with a curler. So I'm really happy with how this turned out because MY HAIR IS SUCH A PAIN.
And a headshot (she usually has her hair in a ponytail or stuffed in the hood not pictured here):
(http://pre08.deviantart.net/88c4/th/pre/i/2015/181/0/5/ssssona_close_up_by_carolrtang-d8zfi8p.png)
ANYWAYS info about my self-insert in the spoilers because it's so loooong.Spoiler: A whole lot of blathering • show
Shorter summarybecause I realized that wow the stuff in the spoiler is so unorganized and also who needs sleep:
Name: Karoliina Tiainen
Age: 19
Nationality: Finn
Gender: Female(?)
Area of birth: Saimaa
Immunity: Yes
Profession: skald (more of a translator), mage
Languages: :finland:, :norway:, :iceland:, mostly fluent in :sweden:, knows enough of :china: to mostly hold a non-technical conversation, and trying to learn :denmark:
- has Chinese ancestry
- moved to Keuruu @ 3 years old
- dad signed her up for an expedition into the Silent World because "you need to practice your magework and this is perfect!!!"
- skald/mage accidental-sorta-badass who has a weak-ish stomach and didn't tell anyone she was probably a mage until she was 16
- overprotective loyal worrywart extraordinaire
- specializes in what defensive magework she knows and a couple of offensive moves just in case
- scared to death of the Silent World
- loves cats, languages, safety, and personal space
- absolutely useless when it comes to salvaging books because she'll freeze, scream, and forget she has weapons (and training, however little) if she encounters a grossling

Ruth and Galatea, who is extremely good with animals since Blorp is actually calm for once (unless it's still scared by Haiz' outburst):

Well, anyways! I'm actually just dropping by because I want to ask a question.
Sunflower, is it alright if I use your sona in the novel I'm writing for Camp NaNo? She probably won't have a very large role in it, but since she apparently is kinda responsible for my character getting the work she has it'd feel wrong not to have her poking her head around.

Another Kahli preview.

With a spell focus, still no background (changed the canvas color so I could see where I have overlap on layers better)
Probably going to work on Dancingranger's next because I'm currently at a loss for what to do for a background for Kahli's while I have a decent idea for dancingranger's. (he just walked out of the messhall)

It's fine Daéa! IRL I have super dark brown almost black hair. I've just been using laufey's water color pic (which was the first done in color of my insert) for the colors. ^ - ^ and honestly I'm never hard to please.
Post by: Alethryia on July 02, 2015, 02:41:30 AM
Honestly, I figures it would be darker given his cultural heratige, although I guess enough pairings of heterozygous/homozygous for light-hair parents he could end up with lighter hair. *Shrug*
I will happily darken it if that's preferred DancingRanger, it'd be like a 20 second fix with watercolors.... ;D

Ohh, you did a good job on these!! I specially like Galatea's pose! And Blorptroll isn't screaming at all?? How this?Thank you! I don't know what happened to Blorp, it has perhaps eaten its fill of slugs and is not hungry for once?
Alethryia, beautiful job on DancingRanger. Gwenno, I love the way your pictures always have a story, with beautifully detailed and softly watercolored people and backgrounds.
For the newcomers, I'd like to collect your stuff on this (https://www.pinterest.com/Unlos/stand-still-stay-silent-ssss-self-inserts/) pinterest board, if you'll give me permission here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=415.0) :)

Solokov's coat is a mistery yet to be fully understood. And is that the Blorptroll?
Gwenno, I love the way your pictures always have a story, with beautifully detailed and softly watercolored people and backgrounds.Thank you so much :D I think that may be the loveliest compliment I've ever had for my pictures (The stories are the most important thing I try to put into every picture, even if it's just one frame of the whole scenario I've concocted in my head I want to show that. I'm so happy to see that that aspect is appreciated)

That guy is oozing Frank Miller superhero with a dash of V-dystopia, so I tried hard for the superhero style:Okay, now I'm going to admit that I thought those poses on the side were suppose to be manly sparkles at first ??? (think Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist), but that is a helluva awesome picture, and I'm impressed with all the muscles and anatomy stuff! Your people drawings are definitely getting more realistic. I'm getting the distinct vibe that I should NOT get in a fight with this dude……

KicknRun - Uh yeah, also wouldn't want to get into a fight with this version… This is very atmospheric and totally radiates the creepiness which I think you were trying to go for :o
Trinka - This is beyooootiful! As in, this is positively lovely and amazing and I don't care if I'm inflating your ego here, you've got to hear it. I'm also impressed with the creative way you decided to depict your art trade and I think everyone else is as well :D

(http://img13.deviantart.net/0ab2/i/2015/183/1/a/von_by_adriannavo-d8zor4f.jpg)I've never commented on your art before; I've just been simply admiring it from afar. I really like how you handle watercolours, so clean *-*
Von looks so adorable and I love the fact that you emulated Kell's artstyle perfectly ❤
Aaaand here's my part of an art trade for Curry. Karri is possibly having one of those rare moments where they're a total badass for a little while before reverting back to her usual self.

Trinka: Wow, that's gorgeous!! I really like the dragon thing, it almost looks like Mith has a pet dragon that helps her on her book binding! Also, I think it would be nice to read a fairy tale book illustrated by you.
Haiz: SO CUTE!! (I know, I know, you're a powerful mage and blah blah... whatever. You're cute, there's no escape from it.) The "bring it" face, I love it.
Alethryia: I really like the colors in this. And the flowercrown! <3
Kizzy: What a cool dynamic pose!! Love it! For a moment I thought "hold on, is that a pokeball... oh, it's a grenade, got it" ;D

Okay, now I'm going to admit that I thought those poses on the side were suppose to be manly sparkles at first ??? (think Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist), but that is a helluva awesome picture, and I'm impressed with all the muscles and anatomy stuff! Your people drawings are definitely getting more realistic. I'm getting the distinct vibe that I should NOT get in a fight with this dude……
That vibe is your survival instinct. It is correct. Not only will you die if you fight, but it will be gory and excessively painful.

Well, after a few hours of work and long pauses to contemplate my entire existance and re-evaluate my life choices, I finished this thing.

So, the idea here is that a part of the group is happily returning from a troll hunt with a lot of kills and explosions and fire, to meet the other part of the group that stayed behind to plan something (maybe a new camp site, I don't know).
I have a lot of regrets:
I'm so sorry, everyone, for the horrible perspective.
I'm sorry, Piney, for making you a hobbit.
I'm sorry, Curry, for drawing you so tiny.
I'm sorry, Jesty, that you don't have a full body drawing on this one.

Ok, so Group 2 has too many people in it. I didn't want to split the group pic in two, so I had to make things a little different. So I thought "hey, what about something with people running AND perspective? I suck at drawing both, but HOW HARD CAN IT BE".I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON AND THE ACTION AND PERSPECTIVE AND ALL OF THE PERSONALITIES and way to go pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, girlfriend, that's something to be proud of.

I love it. All of it. All the faces are great and I can't stop laughing at how the second half of the group is like "...what." ;D
Also the characterization of the cleansers: Karna's running cheerfully, Maja's running fiercely, Karri's running excitedly, and Clara's running... in terror. Just yes.

AAAAHHHHhhaahhhh! Look look! Its Alice! So pretty! I don't care, don't apologize! And it makes sense! Since Alice would be the type of person who would like to be as far away from people as possible. Shoot, she would be the type of person who wouldn't even be in frame because of her shyness. And I just feel so honored since I don't contribute much to this thread ^^'. Thank you so much ;D. And I just have to give you extra kudos for drawing the whole crew, just...wow...

I was actually talking with callipygous about our OCs earlier today, and I felt like drawing them actually buckling down to do something and not just being doofy nerds? So wheee, expression practice it is
(http://i.imgur.com/MOr2Vum.png)
So here's Karna being bloodthirstier in the middle of a hunt, and there's Karri being mad at... somebody, probably. Since it was a more cold-blooded look (that is probably towards another human and not in the middle of an expedition), I also drew them a mid-cleanse look:

This is wonderful :D I've been looking forwards to seeing your group 2 shot and it didn't disappoint. Regardless of what you say I think you did a bang on job with the perspective (and perspective is difficult stuff!), and the way you're displaying the characters seems spot on to me ^_^ (btw, headcannon is that the planning was actually devising an elaborate prank to pull on one of the other groups while we were waiting for stuff to happen…)

Age…………………n/a*
Nationality……… Swede
Area of birth…….Mora
Gender…………....Female
Immunity………...yes
Profession……....
Languages……..:sweden:, :iceland:, :finland:
*presumably in her thirties
She comes from a family of academics. One of her ancestors on her mother’s side was a foreigner, a man from Hungary, who was an exchange student (an Erasmus student, whatever that means) at the time of the outbreak of the rash. Unfortunately his language was forgotten; she can’t even pronounce his name.
Her most valuable possession is an old, handwritten recipe book (volume 2, pastries) inherited from her grandmother, who won it from a farmer at a drinking contest in Bornholm.
She led a comfortable and uneventful life as a teacher in a public school in Mora. She wasn’t particularly good at teaching and had trouble handling adolescents, especially those who showed no interest in her subjects (Known World history; Culture of the Old World). She was often dreaming of quitting her job and opening a small pastry shop – making all the cookies and pastries from the recipe book. As she became more and more fed up with teaching, she finally handed in her resignation; the last straw was the arrival of a pompous and annoying student in her class – a spoiled kid of a formerly wealthy family.
However, instead of opening the pastry shop, she accepted a job at the New Nordic Museum, mainly because she couldn’t resist the temptation of paid trips and field studies in foreign countries. She even started learning Finnish, and when she felt confident enough, set off to Keuruu to do a „participant observation” by living there and study the culture of Finnish mages. Not that she believed in magic, but the exotic beliefs and superstitions of the Finns were always a hot topic among Swedes.
After arriving in Keuruu she had to face two major problems: her Finnish was not sufficient enough to engage in deep conversations; and talking to mages was much harder than she had imagined. Nonetheless, she tried. She was so enthusiastic, that she even developed a silly little crush on a certain mage with the worst haircut. This one-sided feeling was doomed from the start, and disaster struck soon, when – after too many cups of birch sap ale – she asked him out for a walk by the walls, and started joking about sneaking out of the settlement to the romantic wilderness. She couldn’t exactly recall what happened after her joke, but this incident made it impossible to continue her field study and she felt it would be wiser to leave Finland for now…
So, she needs to find another topic for her research (coming of age rituals in the Sognefjord region? traditional wool production in Iceland?) – or, perhaps it’s finally time to open that pastry shop.
By the way, she believes in magic now…

*presumably in her thirties
She comes from a family of academics. One of her ancestors on her mother’s side was a foreigner, a man from Hungary, who was an exchange student (an Erasmus student, whatever that means) at the time of the outbreak of the rash. Unfortunately his language was forgotten; she can’t even pronounce his name.
Her most valuable possession is an old, handwritten recipe book (volume 2, pastries) inherited from her grandmother, who won it from a farmer at a drinking contest in Bornholm.
She led a comfortable and uneventful life as a teacher in a public school in Mora. She wasn’t particularly good at teaching and had trouble handling adolescents, especially those who showed no interest in her subjects (Known World history; Culture of the Old World). She was often dreaming of quitting her job and opening a small pastry shop – making all the cookies and pastries from the recipe book. As she became more and more fed up with teaching, she finally handed in her resignation; the last straw was the arrival of a pompous and annoying student in her class – a spoiled kid of a formerly wealthy family.
However, instead of opening the pastry shop, she accepted a job at the New Nordic Museum, mainly because she couldn’t resist the temptation of paid trips and field studies in foreign countries. She even started learning Finnish, and when she felt confident enough, set off to Keuruu to do a „participant observation” by living there and study the culture of Finnish mages. Not that she believed in magic, but the exotic beliefs and superstitions of the Finns were always a hot topic among Swedes.
After arriving in Keuruu she had to face two major problems: her Finnish was not sufficient enough to engage in deep conversations; and talking to mages was much harder than she had imagined. Nonetheless, she tried. She was so enthusiastic, that she even developed a silly little crush on a certain mage with the worst haircut. This one-sided feeling was doomed from the start, and disaster struck soon, when – after too many cups of birch sap ale – she asked him out for a walk by the walls, and started joking about sneaking out of the settlement to the romantic wilderness. She couldn’t exactly recall what happened after her joke, but this incident made it impossible to continue her field study and she felt it would be wiser to leave Finland for now…
So, she needs to find another topic for her research (coming of age rituals in the Sognefjord region? traditional wool production in Iceland?) – or, perhaps it’s finally time to open that pastry shop.
By the way, she believes in magic now…
Oooh, now we're all dying to know what happened in that incident...
BTW, does it make sense that your SSSSona and mine would know each other? Since we're both in Mora and share an interest in the Old World? (Not to mention baked goods...)

So, the idea here is that a part of the group is happily returning from a troll hunt with a lot of kills and explosions and fire, to meet the other part of the group that stayed behind to plan something (maybe a new camp site, I don't know).

I think mage-uniforms might be a thing, Reynir isn't an actual team member after all.
I imaged them pronouncing "bring it" with the most squeaky, high pitched voice, it's really funny :P
Also I've been informed that my ssssona has somehow been promoted to group leader. How did that happen? I thought Karri was the leader of group 2.

I thought Karri was the leader of group 2.well, I wasn't present at the time, but it seems there was a discussion on leaders a not-too-long while back - some people got appointed without being consulted apparently. But hey, having you as a team captain would make for some.... interesting happenings

Speaking of group leaders, who is the leader of group 1?

My reasoning was that Karri's only a teenager and the hunters would naturally be put in leadership positions anyway. I was also just thinking along the lines of Sigrun, that she's the trained hunter, and a general. Dunno how many Norwegian hunters are trained to be in leadership positions though.

I figured that I'd go along with Ragnarok's suggestions because of this, and ALSO because Karri doesn't deal with pressure well at all. They aren't actually as stupid/dumb as the Our Fearless Leader comics portray them (I thought those were kind of clearly sarcastic, but some people might have missed out on that) but when put into REALLY high-pressure situations, those kinds of doofy things happen, so being unofficial cleanser leader is near to the maximum amount of responsibility Karri could handle. Fimby, are you ok with being leader or shall we open the position up?

They probably know each other and have common acquaintances - the number of history lovers in Mora must be low after all.
and the incident... she doesen't remember, but it certainly involved a minor snow storm. Well, you shouldn't be pushy with a mage and anger him with stupid jokes, especialy one without a sense of humour...

Oh I'm fine with it, just don't expect them to be 100% goof-free. That being said I'd like them to have a second-in-command. A yes-person (this is the most important qualification) who knows how to motivate, shows initiative, can handle pesky correspondence with skalds/scientists and the likes, can direct the cleansers in a meaningful way .... oh, and if they can communicate with the puffins (Icelandic) that would also be kinda cool.
Maybe that would be something for Karri?

Sure, sounds good! Karri's Icelandic might not be the absolute best but they understand it fine and can speak it pretty well and will remember more of it as they use it. Definitely yes-person material 8)
Also, goof-free would be boring! Who wants completely businesslike leaders?? not me that's for sure

Ok, well it was an assessment through Ilmari's eyes, and since i'm bad at figuring out why people do things, i'd figure my ssssona would be too. so mistaking hesitance for disinterest maybe? it is kinda hard to show certain character traits in short works, especially if it's of the POV character.

Don't worry about it - though they spout an average of a thousand crazy ideas a day team two are actually consummate professionals and not at all suicidal (although the war-boys mannerisms seems kind of appropriate for the group).

as for the rune, WELL, Iiiii know very little about runes and i'm too lazy to do actual research, so I usually just scrawl something runelike. It's not the first time I do this^^"
but I like to think that maybe the way icelandic magic works, a rune might have a bit of a "fluid" shape before it settles, depending on how you summon it. Like a bunch of writhing lines or something.

In norway, there's a myth that badger will bite your legs until they hear the bones crushing, so that you ought to put coke (stone coal) in your boots, to trick the badger into believing it had done just that. Completely untrue (they can be pretty fierce but coal in your boots won't make a difference), but fitting for this kind of story?

Hopefully someone knows about cleaning wounds and setting (missing! where did part of that bone go, did the giant eat it?!) bones, otherwise those nasty breaks will kill or cripple the most effective trollhunter we have!

Oh I'm fine with it, just don't expect them to be 100% goof-free. That being said I'd like them to have a second-in-command. A yes-person (this is the most important qualification) who knows how to motivate, shows initiative, can handle pesky correspondence with skalds/scientists and the likes, can direct the cleansers in a meaningful way .... oh, and if they can communicate with the puffins (Icelandic) that would also be kinda cool.
Maybe that would be something for Karri?
Sure, sounds good! Karri's Icelandic might not be the absolute best but they understand it fine and can speak it pretty well and will remember more of it as they use it. Definitely yes-person material 8)*Back in Mora, Sara facepalms.* She's been cc'd on the expedition organization memos (and has been kiiinda eavesdropping on the radio traffic), and she's got a very clear picture of how this is going to go down. She'd better start drafting condolence notes right now.
Also, goof-free would be boring! Who wants completely businesslike leaders?? not me that's for sure
She's heard about this "Fimbulvarg" person -- very much in the "punch trolls and blow s*** up" school of Capt. Eide from the Y90 expedition. Well, that kind of gung-ho combat leadership has its place as long as it's counterbalanced by someone prudent and cool-headed (like that nice Dr. Madsen), with all the *other* necessary qualities to get an expedition out and back safely, recovering not just things but knowledge.
Fimbulvarg's draft job description for a second-in-command isn't bad, even if it leaves out all the "prudent" and "level-headed" parts:
A yes-person (this is the most important qualification) who knows how to motivate, shows initiative, can handle pesky correspondence with skalds/scientists and the likes, can direct the cleansers in a meaningful way .... oh, and if they can communicate with the puffins (Icelandic) that would also be kinda cool.
But that is *not* the impression she's getting of Karri, the person who volunteered for the post. Young, over-energetic, poor impulse control, spendthrift, speaks "some" Icelandic (in Sara's experience, all resumes are inflated)... and if they're a yes-person, they'll be aiding and abetting some crazed Norwegian adrenaline-junkie (with a nom de guerre like that, she has to be a crazed adrenaline-junkie) who probably believes in Valhalla and has no problem taking dozens of valuable young people with her.
Sara rolls her eyes.
On the other hand, Karri does seem to be staying on top of the correspondence (if not necessarily the financial record-keeping). So there goes one stereotype, about Norwegians being barely able to read.
And if she's cut from the same cloth as Captain Fimbulvarg, at least they'll get on well together. Sara's heard depressing stories of expeditions, research teams, and businesses collapsing because their leaders just couldn't get along. Or the leaders got on just fine, but they weren't respected by their underlings. Presumably Cleansers would do better under the direction of one of their own than a toffee-nosed, aging civilian like herself.
Well, it's their lives on the line, not hers (as Swedes are reminded every Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day). Sara sighs deeply, leafing one more time through the sheaf of personnel reports and shoving them back into their folder. How many of those bright faces won't come back?
Note to Curry and Fimby: Sorry for the less-than-respectful descriptions. This doesn't reflect my actual opinion of either of you, just Sara's rather jaundiced view of your SSSSonas.

Unlos: Yaay! This is really great! Unlos, you're the one providing me with references everytime I'm stuck on a group picture because I don't know how to draw someone. I thought you should know that.Thank you! And I'm looking forward to seeing your next group picture, they're fantastic!
I somehow had Ilmari figured for a teenager, and when rechecking the infodump on his occupation (after I had drawn him, duh) I noticed he's 26! Aghagh, sorry about that.

Well doesn't this picture kind of fit the mood here now
"People are making Mad Max references, the time has come!"
I'm kind of tempted to put a censor-bar over the left hand too, just to imply rude gestures :P
What a coincidence, I was just planning the same thing. Eich better be practicing his sick guitar solos because a team thisderangedawesome will need REALLY COOL
Somewhere in the group
Well, that kind of gung-ho combat leadership has its place as long as it's counterbalanced by someone prudent and cool-headed (like that nice Dr. Madsen), with all the *other* necessary qualities to get an expedition out and back safely, recovering not just things but knowledge.
*Snickers* I took care of the naysayers preemptively. Such smart, very foresighted.
(No offence taken)
Are you telling me that there's a chance some of our inserts won't survive??No casualties, that's a team 2 promise (besides, you're in group 4. The odds of you even seeing a grossling are low).

Sara sighs deeply, leafing one more time through the sheaf of personnel reports and shoving them back into their folder. How many of those bright faces won't come back?

She's heard about this "Fimbulvarg" person -- very much in the "punch trolls and blow s*** up" school of Capt. Eide from the Y90 expedition. Well, that kind of gung-ho combat leadership has its place as long as it's counterbalanced by someone prudent and cool-headed (like that nice Dr. Madsen), with all the *other* necessary qualities to get an expedition out and back safely, recovering not just things but knowledge.
Fimbulvarg's draft job description for a second-in-command isn't bad, even if it leaves out all the "prudent" and "level-headed" parts:
A yes-person (this is the most important qualification) who knows how to motivate, shows initiative, can handle pesky correspondence with skalds/scientists and the likes, can direct the cleansers in a meaningful way .... oh, and if they can communicate with the puffins (Icelandic) that would also be kinda cool.
But that is *not* the impression she's getting of Karri, the person who volunteered for the post. Young, over-energetic, poor impulse control, spendthrift, speaks "some" Icelandic (in Sara's experience, all resumes are inflated)... and if they're a yes-person, they'll be aiding and abetting some crazed Norwegian adrenaline-junkie (with a nom de guerre like that, she has to be a crazed adrenaline-junkie) who probably believes in Valhalla and has no problem taking dozens of valuable young people with her.
Sara rolls her eyes.
On the other hand, Karri does seem to be staying on top of the correspondence (if not necessarily the financial record-keeping). So there goes one stereotype, about Norwegians being barely able to read.
And if she's cut from the same cloth as Captain Fimbulvarg, at least they'll get on well together. Sara's heard depressing stories of expeditions, research teams, and businesses collapsing because their leaders just couldn't get along. Or the leaders got on just fine, but they weren't respected by their underlings. Presumably Cleansers would do better under the direction of one of their own than a toffee-nosed, aging civilian like herself.
Well, it's their lives on the line, not hers (as Swedes are reminded every Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day). Sara sighs deeply, leafing one more time through the sheaf of personnel reports and shoving them back into their folder. How many of those bright faces won't come back?
Note to Curry and Fimby: Sorry for the less-than-respectful descriptions. This doesn't reflect my actual opinion of either of you, just Sara's rather jaundiced view of your SSSSonas.
Ha, Sara sound like someone who would understand Clara's problems...
Clara, calling in to base: "WHO CHOSE THESE LEADERS?? They are so rash and irresponsible with record-keeping and Karri says they can speak Icelandic but they speak it kinda terribly, like y'know, I can help translate, but no, no one listens to me, and- and- and- ...Can I go home? Please?"

I imagine Team 5 might have a betting pool on which of the other teams will come back the most intact. My money'd be on Team 4, if only because they're not supposed to get anywhere near any trolls, but then again Murphy and his Law are not to be underestimated.
(I'm genuinely unsure whether my own self-insert's actions in the other thread has raised or lowered Team 2's chance. I like to think raised.)

Gwenno's reactions seem entirely reasonable, though maybe a bit out of character for someone we've seen whooping with glee while rappelling down the sides of exploding houses and the like. Hopefully Captain Fimbulvarg and Lt. Karri will eventually figure out from the lack of motivation on the part of the rest of their crew that they should tone it down.

1. I'm just gonna stay here
2. pat. pat

Well a jackal wouldn't be native but if it was in the zoo in Year 0 then there could be a real jackal beast. Is there a zoo in your city? With the presence of a zoo in the bigger cities there is the chance for several exotic beasts.

I have no idea about the other Scandinavian countries, though. If our expedition is even in Scandinavia? Not to mention that the zoo animals would run a high risk of both being infected, if they miraculously survived, being extremely inbred. And then for the local people to recognize the beast as jackal, and not a big fox? I find it highly unlikely. Still, the story works pretty well, and it only takes deus ex máquina to declare that that happened (but aww, I got all enthusiastic about the badger idea, I still think that would be better)

Sorry to take this thread a bit OT but that was actually really interesting! In Iceland trolls also hunt humans by the smell of Christian blood, same goes for hidden people (Icelandic elves can at worst be so against humans - especially Christian ones - that they attack houses during Christmas just to kill every human being inside).

Arbet knows how to use a sword too. 90% of the time he doesn't bother, but since he can create a sword out of shadow, if he does, run. Besides, he's got his own idea over how Alexis's magic works, though his motivations for trying to train her are not his own....see spoilers below. And he's not saying she needs to break her limitations, it's that he doesn't want her to die horribly trying to do something he can do and she can't.

If this is a jackal beast it is an original jackal from the zoo in Year 0 just that the Rash has kept it alive all these years. No chance of it being inbred because they apparently don't breed once they are turned into Rashbeasts. I am just saying that because of the zoos it is possible to have a few exotic Rashbeasts. Any surviving big cats will probably have died out in the first 25 years due to attrition from trolls and limited genetics. If any survive it is probably a hybrid of lion and tiger. Still the odds of them lasting that many generations and having viable cubs is less than 1%.

It makes sense actually. This expedition is far better funded, so they get all the cool people. Of course with the research guys they had to take what they could get: it's a lot easier to pay a bunch of tough guys to burn things down than to pay smart people to retrieve them intact.

What I mean is that they can afford more mages and veteran soldiers than our guys from the comic, but, since people who are actually interested in the Silent World are rare and probably expensive, they cost more than guys like cleansers and hunters who would just be like 'oh yay more things to blow up'.

Karoliina may be a fairly powerful mage, but she's definitely a skald at heart ("who needs sleep when there are new books and texts to look at???") and will avoid confrontation, combat, the Silent World, mage stuff, and most people like the plague, as her friends in Keuruu will tell you. I imagine she had some good hiding spots/people who would cover for her and basically disappeared whenever she didn't want to learn magic, which was a lot of the time. She's totally regretting that now.

Wow sorry, this turned into a full blown art tutorial :-\ I guess I just got overly excited about toned paper and charcoal: sorry for hogging the thread guys! Maybe I'll put this in the tutorial thread too?
Would you, please? It's a great tutorial (and beautiful drawings), but the Self-Inserts thread is really crowded.
I'd suggest pasting your content into a new post in the tutorials thread. Then erase most of it from your original post, replacing it with just a pointer to that tutorials post. OK? (Then I'll delete this post.)

This is such an amazing little story. Lauftroll is very in character, excellent portrayal. I'll join the others in loving how it's tied to the story and how unsettling and creepy the trolls are. Echo-locating accordion troll stamp of approval! ;D

Nononono.....gah I need to write better....Wait, some people are getting paid for this? I was just told that if I came along there's be bigger and badder trolls to kill in the super fun danger zone of the silent world :o
What I mean is that they can afford more mages and veteran soldiers than our guys from the comic, but, since people who are actually interested in the Silent World are rare and probably expensive, they cost more than guys like cleansers and hunters who would just be like 'oh yay more things to blow up'.

This might be a bit mad, but I really enjoy making these, and want to draw everyone! Famous last words I know, I've done 17 - 23 if I count the art trades, and we're 80 ATM. But it's good practice.

That style really reminds me of something though, and I don't know exactly what..
Animal Crossing, kinda (what a great freaking series Animal Crossing is), but actually I'm getting Harvest Moon vibes off it? I don't know, but it's a cool drawing nonetheless.
The levek of detail in this is amazing, and I'm kinda getting Sandman (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo)) vibes from the demons (?) which makes it even better.

(as for detail, you can't really see too well due to scanner, but the shovel book Emil was reading, and the golf memoir from the exploded building are both there, as well as ARTD and SSSS of course)

Maybe I should write something-between-the-last-time-we-saw-your-character-and-team-2-missions...I wouldn't be opposed to this :P but be warned, my artistic integrity would probably require for me to draw something else for you as well if you did....
(http://i.imgur.com/95PmCtS.gif)There's something strangely hypnotic about this, some kind of attempted mind control maybe? I'm so impressed with people who can animate, and this looks really good, even for a quick thing. I'll be sure to keep your tutorial in mind for the next time I draw blood :P

I finally finished Katja Svannudattirs picture. Wow that was bigger than I thought. I'll make the next one smallerOoooh, that's some real swell shading there, there's some great fabric detail and all in all it looks very realistic and such a nice smile to boot ^_^

As for scanning software it's just the stuff that came with the printer (Epson), the thing is a little over ten years old I think and crashes 3/4 times when I try to scan something colour greater than 50dpi). I've accepted I won't get the colours I want (after trying for ages with Solokov's pic) so have been using more vibrant shades to try and counter it, but it still makes me sad to see the difference between the original and scanned versions :-\

Alexis a few months into cleanser training.(i spent 50 million years on this. please don't ask whats happening to the hands)
and the bio yay
Alexis Eklund
(will take alex, or kick, but doesn't really like nicknames. tends to use not use nicknames for people, even if thats what everyone else calls them)
Age: 13
Nationality: Swede
Area of Birth: Inner Mora
Gender: Bigender
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Cleanser-in-training, Untrained Finnish mage
Languages: Speaks/reads Swedish, speaks French, reads English
History: Alexis grew up on the rim of Inner Mora, living a cushy, if somewhat pressured and lonely life. By the age of ten however, she had become became completely fed up with her current situation, with her older twin sisters having fled to the four winds, and his mother not trusting his scatterbrained brother with anything. The pressures begin unloading to learn her heritage and keep it going, even though she doesn’t really want to. But with her academic parents, she did learn two old world languages, French and English. She begins dreaming about running away and joining the (a highly romanticized version) cleansers. Then she does it. She may have not thought this through enough. But its too late to go back now, and hey, it might be an adventure! And there is no way in hell she's going back.
Personality:
Spoiler: show
Skills:
she’s only really been in the Cleansers training since February so lets see...
Spoiler: show
And the reason she understands English in this recton is so i could get her on the expedition without anything illegal happening. What basically happened was -something something Alexis volunteered that could read English and signed on to the expedition but some skald read "Cleanser-in-training" on her form and signed her up to group two instead of group three.
so
Does her overwhemling amount of negative personality traits make up for the mary sue-ness? And this the skill stuff is based upon skills i have in real life, except the magic.
old bio (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.855.msg29935#msg29935)
his/story (geddit?) is told (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg40988#msg40988) (written before the recton, but it still applies, thankfully)
extra personality deatils (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg32885#msg32885)
more extra personality details (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg51097;topicseen#msg51097)

OH MY GOD. I have been staring at this for 10 minutes just admiring all of those tiny little details and I'm just, amazed. I love the makeshift tent (which is what she would totally do. She's not really equipped for living in the"wilderness"). And you've captured her body type nicely :D
The trolls...actually look pretty? I really like the fact that you've used dark, more muted colors on them while the middle has all of the bright colors; your eyes get immediately drawn to the center, the focal point of the drawing.
You've really put a lot of effort into this I hope to do the same thing with my part ❤

Arbet Adamsson
Known Aliases:
Arbet Skugganotandi
'' Fordaemus (current alias)
Jack O' The Shadows
Height: 6'4
Weight: 192 lbs
Age: 32
Nationality: Icelandic
Occupation: Cleanser (former), mage
Languages: Icelandic, Swedish, German, Latin
Religion: Christian
Backstory:
Dagrenning program child. Joined cleansers at age of 15. Served with distinction, attaining rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Squad wiped out in year 88 by Giant, wherein he was badly wounded. Spent most of the next year recovering from his injuries. Was placed on psychological probation during this time. Eventually released from hospital halfway through Year 89, and given a new squad to command. Disappeared on first mission with new squad, presumed dead.
Rediscovered by Team Two of the 2nd Expedition. Interviewed by Sara Hallander, and allowed to join Team Two. Has made no attempt to reclaim former rank, and has made little mention of former life as a soldier.
Known Abilities:
Standard Cleanser marksmanship and demolition training.
Standard officer training
Alchemic matrix allows shadow manipulation and teleportation, at the cost of being unable to perform normal Icelandic magic. Considers this a fair trade.
His known powers:
Being able to generate wings.
Summoning a huge broadsword for close-quarters combat.
Utilizing shadows as stabbing weapons or throwing bolts of shadow at the enemy.
High level of both swordsmanship and hand-to-hand skills.
Distinguishing Features: Scarring on left side of face. Runes tattooed on forearms and back.
Equipment:
An AK-10X rifle with the words JOSHUA 1:9 etched into the stock
a .45 caliber pistol
a christian cross, forged of iron on a leather thong around his neck
A pocket Bible
ATTACHED FILE:
Subject's runes appear similar in style and function to that of the Cult of Memory, a former Icelandic mage group. However, subject has no ties to said group.
Runes are bound by unknown magical elements, referred to as an 'alchemic array' by subject.
Runes operate on the principle of 'strength compression'. In short, subject could level a building with one punch, but be unable to walk for several hours afterwards. Therefore, he very rarely does anything overt.
Psychological Profile:
PTSD likely.
Shows keen interest in Old World knowledge.
Has made mention of 'raiders' from farther south. Possible civilizations beyond ours?
Has shown fanatical determination in protecting former churches and other places sacred to 'Christian' religion.

I've been seeing a lot of people concerned about whether or not their characters are 'Mary Sues' and here's the thing:
A Mary Sue character is still a legitimate character. Heck, a Mary Sue character can even be an appealing character. Wish fulfillment is one of the primary reasons that humans tell stories, so don't feel bad if your character is along those lines.
So y'know. Keep being awesome and all that.

Curry: Oh no, the need to trash something when all that work disappears! The warm-up doodle is really enjoyable (and creepy blood is creepy). Kick, Alexis look so happy and mischievous here! The background makes me think of a workout hall, nice! KMK: Nice (I know I'm repeating myself but I really like it!)
Ragnarok: What Sunflower and RTR said. I think your revamped version works better in this particular expedition, but at the same time I really enjoyed the bickering between Alexis and Arbet. Sectoboss: You write really well, I enjoy these snippets a lot!
Instead of going by my OCD-tendencies and drawing everyone strictly alphabetically. I jumped ahead to Gwenno!

I'd thought I'd be able to get online long enough to type it up--but I'm never by a computer long enough to do it--I know it's a terrible excuse but things have just been so hectic irl lately
I promise it'll go up, it's just gonna take a bit longer than I wanted
Also--art trades! I've finished them guys, I just, once again, need a computer to put them up but as soon as I can this is all gonna happen
Now, back to trying to get caught up (I'm almost at the page you said the trade pic was on North! Just a bit more and I'll be able to comment on it!)

To those asking whose blood, probably a mix of that of some unsuspecting innocent and Laufeytroll. Don't worry, our beloved laufeytroll is pretty much fine, I just have a habit of covering everything in blood when I'm stressed v______v

OH MY GOD. I have been staring at this for 10 minutes just admiring all of those tiny little details and I'm just, amazed. I love the makeshift tent (which is what she would totally do. She's not really equipped for living in the"wilderness"). And you've captured her body type nicely :DEeeeeeek :D I'm so glad you like it! I had so much fun fiddling with an idea for her and then designing the scene and monsters, and well it was just so easy to get carried away :P I wanted to show a safe place where the monsters would never reach so yeah, blanket fort filled with books and guarded by Molly, what could be safer than that!
The trolls...actually look pretty? I really like the fact that you've used dark, more muted colors on them while the middle has all of the bright colors; your eyes get immediately drawn to the center, the focal point of the drawing.
You've really put a lot of effort into this I hope to do the same thing with my part ❤
Lovely. The colors that do come through are really pretty, I think you are the only person they look wrong to. I find myself wondering what your coloring looks like IRL since your scanner gives you the same problem with every drawing.Oh dear, I've been complaining too much haven't I :-\ The difference and dullness bothers me so much more than it should, but I'll stop going on about it from now on, promise :)
Instead of going by my OCD-tendencies and drawing everyone strictly alphabetically. I jumped ahead to Gwenno!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!! I'm so flattered and happy to have gotten special treatment and avoid the OCD alphabetical order queue >"< and this is totally awesome ;D I love how dynamic it is, how the hair moves and you are so definitely improving your people drawing skills, oh yes yes ^_^ (also clothes drawing skillz, because those are looking so very realistic as well)

My part of an art trade with koalalou!Finally got to the page with this--it's awesome North! Thanks so much--it's much more impressive than you seem to think--I'm pretty jelly of the shading job actually, I can never seem to get my own coloured pencils to do the shading I want q 3q I'll try to get my end o the trade up as soon as I can, I promise TT vTT
(http://i.imgur.com/y9tHXxF.png)
She was a lot of fun to draw but I feel like I didn't do her justice because... well, I decided that from now on I'm not touching a coloured pencil ever again. I realised there was something about the face porportions that I wanted to fix after I'd coloured. /loud groan

Ok, so Group 2 has too many people in it. I didn't want to split the group pic in two, so I had to make things a little different. So I thought "hey, what about something with people running AND perspective? I suck at drawing both, but HOW HARD CAN IT BE".Bwa ha ha ha.. sorry to comment so late, haven't been in this thread for a while. Maja looks hilarous though :D Thank you!
Well, after a few hours of work and long pauses to contemplate my entire existance and re-evaluate my life choices, I finished this thing.

So, the idea here is that a part of the group is happily returning from a troll hunt with a lot of kills and explosions and fire, to meet the other part of the group that stayed behind to plan something (maybe a new camp site, I don't know).
I have a lot of regrets:
I'm so sorry, everyone, for the horrible perspective.
I'm sorry, Piney, for making you a hobbit.
I'm sorry, Curry, for drawing you so tiny.
I'm sorry, Jesty, that you don't have a full body drawing on this one.

-you comment on how nicely karri’s hair is growing out. they don’t respond. you realize that’s not karri at all, just a rather large dust cloud with glasses.
And here are the rest of the safer/less horrifying ones I came up with:
- you are brushing karri’s hair. as you attempt to brush it, you realize there aren’t individual strands. it smells like sugar.
- you see karri fiddling around with explosives. where do you get all those materials, you ask. they don’t know what you’re talking about and when you look again they’re petting a cat. the cat is black.
- every time you look at karri you change your mind on their gender. you don’t understand why. they look like a woman. wait no, a man. wait.
- once karri tried on a hat. it was never seen again, but if you look at them in the moonlight, you can see the silhouette of its skeleton resting gently upon their head
- sometimes they describe what it was like back home. you can never seem to stay interested past the first three words, but the tone of their voice makes you think of dirt, and the bones which lie underneath
- karri’s cat is adorable. they have no cat. karri’s cat lets you pet its belly. they have no cat. karri constantly shows you pictures of their cat. they have no cat, you think, as you stroke its fur.
- “oops, it happened again,” they say. everything is smoking and you have no memory of the past 48 hours.
- karri is holding an envelope upside down. flowers and shards of bones are spewing out. “i swear, this happens every time,” they say, shaking their head irritatedly.
That last one is one of my personal favorites, ehehe. The rest of them can be found here (https://justpaste.it/m8il), but be warned, some have very graphic violent imagery and general spooky themes (I accidentally dipped into horror there, oops). Password and trigger list under the spoiler:

I love memes, 90% of everything that I say is a reference to a meme, even if you don't know it
Memes are strange things, born of circumstance... like new species that are discovered in a vast rain forest!
Wikipedia defines memes as...
"A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". An Internet meme may take the form of an image, hyperlink, video, picture, website, or hashtag. It may be just a word or phrase, including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources. They may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites."
This is a fancy way of saying that they are born of pop-culture, and trends on the internet. One person will create or react to something that they think is funny (oftentimes a post on social media), someone else will like this new idea, and it spreads. They are adopted into our language, and become what we call a "reference". They are very much based on the region you occupy: certain memes exist in certain places, but not others.
They are often used as reactions to things: this one in particular is based off an expression President Obama made one time:
(http://gartic.com.br/imgs/mural/_y/_yondaime/not-bad.png)
People often post it as a response to someone doing something impressive, like when you nod your head and do that weird frowny-thing.
What's that you say: "How will I know if I see a meme?"
Well lemme tell you something; OUR FANDOM HAS MEMES
WWWWhhhhaaAAAAatttt?!?
Our fandom has created some memes that we exclusively as an online community use! That's right, you've probably used one at some point in time! In conversation, or posting a picture as a response: that's a meme! It's born of a certain cultural group (Minna's comic following), as a response to an event (probably something someone said in a comment or a panel from the comic). Once it it used more than once, it's become a meme!
(http://i.imgur.com/OAbosuG.jpg)
THIS IS A MEME
So there you have it!

Ok so the memes are the blurbs? Or are the memes the pictures? Or both?As an Old Forum Person, I'd like to provide some backstory:*maybe doesnt know what a meme is**hides*
Ugh this makes me sound waaaay older than I am :P
Originally, we only had the fanart thread. Then, people (myself included) starting posting edits of the original comic images, usually in a funny way, to it. It was decided that since it's not exactly fanart (as in, we were remixing Minna's work rather than making our own work based on hers), that it should have its own thread and thus, the Meme/Edit thread was born.

Lúðvík Davíðsson
Age: ……..yes. Uh, I mean, 35, I think?
Nationality: ……..Icelandic, duh.
Area of birth: ……..Reykjavík
Gender: ……..
Immunity: ……..No, so you better have a mask for me in your budget.
Profession: ……..Skald, translator, historian, only sane person in the known world
Languages: :iceland: :denmark:, can also decipher and translate written English, German and French (but not actually speak them or even write anything in them)
[Siv's note: ask Lúðvík to refill his information sheet properly, this is a serious and important document and it is vital that applicants do not take this matter lightly]
Lúðvík is a specialist in the translation of old world volumes into Icelandic. As such, he has acquired quite a wide historical knowledge of the times before the rash, and as the result has become quite appalled by the state of ignorance of his contemporaries. Because of this, he tends to be arrogant and to treat all protocol and seriousness with disdain and derision when they come from people who he deems ignorants —an attitude that tend to isolate him; not that he minds too much. He's nonetheless quite sough after for his services as a translator.
In spite of his lack of immunity, he frequently travels to Denmark to sell his services and acquire recently discovered books to translate. He's not a fan of the Swedish cleansers' scorched earth policy, and wishes more money would be invested into book retrieval expedition in the silent world.
On his free time, he works on a monumental, multi-volume book titled "A Comprehensive History Of The Old World, Along With a Rectification Of The Most Common Misconceptions On The Subject"; while most of the book only really cover 19th and 20th century Europe, it will nonetheless become an important academic reference a few decades after Lúðvík's death.
Selected quotes:
"We must not fool ourselves into thinking that the concept of magic for Old Worlders was similar to what it is to us now. All evidence points out to the fact that not only most Old Worlders, at least in the decades preceding the Great Silence, viewed magic with the same incredulity as the Swedes do now, but also that most purpoted old world mages were either imposters or entertainers, without a measure of real magic to their trade. The idea that ancient countries were part of an advanced magic civilization is based on a faulty reading of what the word "magic" meant to Old Worlders."
"No, I don't comb my hair, why?"
"Oh, you were serious about this 'quarantine' thing? Ok, ok, stop pushing me!"
"I'm telling you, as modest as Iceland was before the silence, its inhabitants would not have stood to be even half as ignorant of their own history as we are!"
"No, Beethoven wasn't a Swede, why does everyone keep saying that?"

Anyway, so I was in a bit of a weird mood the other day and drew this on the train. It's Sóley. She looks different because it's a much younger version of her. Hence the long hair and different clothing. It's a lot messier than my usual drawing style and part of that is because of the train, but also because I felt like the messy just fit here.

I've had this sitting around for a few days and I was finally able to paint it. (I had to wait to get home for the florescent green)*Tilts head* Huuuuuuum. Bad things. Bad memories...
Anyway, so I was in a bit of a weird mood the other day and drew this on the train. It's Sóley. She looks different because it's a much younger version of her. Hence the long hair and different clothing. It's a lot messier than my usual drawing style and part of that is because of the train, but also because I felt like the messy just fit here.

Remember when I was complaining about there being too many people in Group 2?? Ha ha ha... Those were the good days.How can you be "so sorry", Daéa, it's always amazing discovering your drawings of the self-insert characters :)
Once again I had to place everyone in one single drawing and that was so freaking difficult. I couldn't think of a cool way to draw the group, so it all ended up a little crammed, I'm so sorry.
Here's Group 3.

Another normal day for the group: the skalds are skalding, the foresters/hunters/biologists and whatnot are chatting, and the mages are making all the runes fly by accident. No big deal.

I literally cannot remember the last time I commented in this thread, but I have, of course, been following and gazing upon all your wonderful things. I haven't had the chance to draw an art trade and may not have for a few days more, BUT i have the next best thingGwenno train of thought - "Oh cool look, Haiz has posted some sketches, these'll be cool"
random pen sketches done in boredom at work.....
and from there it kinda escalated into "WHICH SONAS DO I REMEMBER THE DESIGN OF"

*scrolls though, sees self*
"Ooooh, iz a me ;D!" *does happy dance*
Haiz: "WHICH SONAS DO I REMEMBER THE DESIGN OF"
"Okay, so this is probably a sign I spend too much time here......."
*looks closer, sees teeth* :o
"Wha..? Ah nuoooooooooo! Alas, but my secret has been revealed! Haiz has uncovered my vampire nature!
*turns into a bat or something and flies away never to be seen again*
(scarily accurate actually, my teeth were real similar to that before braces meaning I spent years of my life convincing people I was a vampire, also yesterday I managed to get some nasty sunburn after just 2 hours wearing factor 50 - so are you actually psychic?)
Here's Group 3.Oh deyum, you did it again and wow these pics just get better and better! Your poses and expressions are fantastic, and as always the lineart is ridiculously tidy (seriously how do you manage to do that?!?!?), I also love the little stories you put in behind the pictures ^_^ They may be my most favouritest thing

Unlos - Can you just assume that I'm here clapping at the other end of the world at your drawing efforts, because I really feel like I should be. You post so many of these pictures, and they're really good and the speed you manage is also super impressive and they get posted so often I'm worried that I'm starting to repeat myself. Ah well, what can ya do? Good stuff again here :)
I've had this sitting around for a few days and I was finally able to paint it. (I had to wait to get home for the florescent green)Agreeing with Mélusine here. The pic really feels like bad memories and being sucked in (I drew a disturbingly similar picture when trying to deal with some things a while ago actually :o ), but it's atmospheric in a good way, and the dull colouring and slightly smudgy look definitely adds to that and makes it very pretty

Sunflower: Yes, one of the runes hit Kurt in the head. How rude! :P
Gwenno: I usually reinforce the main lines and carefully try to erase the lines I used to frame the character's pose and expression. My scanner does the rest, because it washes out almost everything (that's the main reason why I reinforce the main lines so much). I edit the picture later to darken it a bit.
These aren't art trades, but I felt like drawing today so I decided to do a handful of fashion sketches using some sonas. I'll put them in spoiler tags to keep the post short, since the pics are kinda big.Spoiler: showSpoiler: showSpoiler: showSpoiler: show
I like the outfits and the colors! Really nice! :)
Eeeeeee Keeper that's so cute!! :D I totally understand the need to draw fashion. It just kind of crops up with no warning, and that's a super cute idea, so perhaps expect some Curry draws of you all's OCs in haute couture at some point 8)

Edit: ACTUALLY KIND OF DECENT COLORS ON MACS I'M CRYING FROM HAPPINESS
Alethryia, here you go! Johanna was lots of fun to draw! (ºvº) Sorry for any inaccuracies in her design T_T

I'm just sad that my copy of PaintTool SAI is awful and won't let me add more textures and stuff to make the painting cooler. And that my PC isn't better. It has issues handling big canvases, forget a 4k x 6k px one.
Very VERY very nice! I love the atmosphere of the dream world you captured, even if you had to cover up some precious line work (I'm sure it was pretty). I can tell you for a fact that Alethryia squealed like a little girl when she saw it, and tried to show a half-asleep me the picture at like, 1 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't summon the propper amount of enthusiasm before, but now that I'm totally awake, I can see why she freaked out. It's beautiful!

I don't get these groups and expeditions, how they go, I barely read because I don't understand, I check pics, I read information of older/new characters, but sometimes I just skip reading in between (Don't worry, let me quote Haiz who made a FAQ-thread:and Sharion is not surprised i want to cosplay Sigrun lol)
I am sorry.
- hang on hang on expedition?
oh yeah, after months of our characters slowly shaping up, and the silhouette of a plot starting to be seen - we're slowly making our characters move intot he world and a story. There are several threads for that on this board. Keep in mind that it's very much a collaboration project, so it goes a little slow and there are a lot of participants.
Hello all! I'm looking to do art/finish filling my old sketchbook. So I'm up for art trades, or art requests! If any of ya'll are interested shoot me a PM. It might take me a bit depending on my muse/work.Well I am going to draw the remaining scouts doing parkour, so if you want to turn it into an art trade, I'm good.
Keeper: Those are some lovely designs! Authoroflights shirt with the blending of colors is my favourite.
Gwenno, thank you (*imagines clapping, is very happy*)! Those encouraging words from you, Daéa, VV and others who has commented are a great motivator to keep drawing :D
Curry, that's a very cool drawing of Silenter. The two-tone effect reminds me of an old sepia photograph

Solid stuff as usual. I like how there's always a good mix between squad members chilling out and squad members charging about like headless chickens in your pictures.

God level colouring, well worth the wait I'd say.
As for me I've not had much time for art, but at least I did manage to draw Marja

Fimby, would you by any chance be interested in doing an art trade if maybe you have time? (it's totally ok if you don't have time though, I understand crazy schedules and stuff)
I'm interested, I just don't have the time right now unfortunately (working on another art trade, the art collab and several non-trade pieces). I'll let you know when I'm less bogged down. It's better that way, you won't have to wait and I won't have to feel guilty for making you wait ;)

i think i'm just having a weird day, and maybe this shouldn't go here, but i want everyone to know that you are all such awesome people and artists. i really appreciate all the art and self-insert stuff everyone has going. and i don't mean just the people who've drawn Ilmari, i mean everyone. it's great just getting on the board or tumblr and seeing all this great stuff. it really feels like everyone is pretty close. i don't feel like i post enough or interact for people to get to know me, and writing has been hard lately, so i haven't really been sharing much at all
but i'm really happy to have found this fandom and i didn't know where else to say this
I agree 100%, and you put it into words very well. We really are an amazing community and I never thought I would find so many awesome people through one common interest.
On another note: Thank you for all the feedback on the fashion sketches! :)

Post by: Unlos on July 12, 2015, 03:22:20 PM
Noodly, I agree that loose clothing is a challenge, but I think you did very well, both on the hoodie and pants. I definitely see an improvement in shadowing and poses since you first started posting.
FeartheViolas: I agree with Gwenno and Melusine, that marsh (or whatever the place is) looked like a scary, lonely and sad place. Very athmospheric.
PrinceofDoom: :D
I was going to draw Matthew today but when I had done the basic sketch and was entering the details I saw that their nickname was sparrow - and so they have to be a flyer. So scout of the day is KMK.

Oh my gosh!!! That's amazing! You made her look so pretty and I LOVE the background! Yes, the glasses are coming off- I actually used to wear my glasses only in school where I needed them most, but now I wear them all day for convenience. It's been a while since a picture has been taken of me without my glasses, so the drawing makes me really happy! :) And you even got the hair just right.

I like the relaxed posture, I think it's a first for that. And the background goes very well with the actual drawing! I often compliment people on this but the way you drew the sash is very very nice (I swear I didn't add it just to make things difficult for people).

Look, there I am! And I really like Laufey, she looks like she's dancing and just living in the present. I've been missing your frequent posting in this thread Haiz, I hope the hotel is treating you tolerably (You may have covered that in the general discussion thread but I have fallen off of it.. again.)thanks!! I wish I was posting more frequently too, there's just a lot of stuff happening. I do indeed keep the general thread updated, so if you're really interested you may look through the posts I've made and you'll probably find it? wow htat sounds self-absorbed hahaha
Shoves down "I didn't come up with the poses I just copied them"-reflex with the memory of Haiz' absolutely wonderful rant of "there is no cheating in art it's all art" (Thank you Haiz!)NO PROBLEM 8) your parkour series is absolutely amazing btw
Whoah, Y0 Laufey looks weirdly content, her condition considered. "I pinch. (https://youtu.be/QBX0Jfr62Kc)" :Di wanted to make happy dorky dancing lauf instead of SCREAMING SUFFERING LAUF for a change ahaha ha
also that ad is fantastic omg
I don't care if they are sketches, to me they are most best, all of them (but maybe especially that majestic mane. You know which).ee thanks! and... I don't actually know which majestic mane you mean because there are so many majestic manes and I always draw them 20% floofier than they actually are. except karri's. i think i'm not drawing karri's hair floofy enough
Gwenno train of thought - "Oh cool look, Haiz has posted some sketches, these'll be cool"ahahaha I swear this was an accidetnal reveal... I always think of your self-insert as a lion so I drew her kinda liony. but hey I'm a mage am I not? I might have some intuition

She wants to believe in magic, but she's a little too insecure to put any trust in it.
Remember when I was complaining about there being too many people in Group 2?? Ha ha ha... Those were the good days.

Another normal day for the group: the skalds are skalding, the foresters/hunters/biologists and whatnot are chatting, and the mages are making all the runes fly by accident. No big deal.
this is so great oh gosh
Like, the whole picture's brilliant, but Jón's so *gawky* and *confused*, it's brilliant.
Diolch!
Also, definitely getting Hark! A Vagrant (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php) vibes from the art, which is also brilliant because it's , uh, brilliant. (I need new adjectives)

Boo! ;D I finally finished my part of the art trade with FeartheViolas and in the process discovered that salt can be used to create pretty cool stars and things :D (it's seriously blowing my mind here :o iz just too cool).
Anyways, this is supposed to be Sóley playing about with the demon cats in her dream realm (which I designed based on her answer on the personal dreamworld thread - no books sorry, I just couldn't think how to fit them into the picture without making it look weird, and the demon cats are slightly more insubstantial because erm.... reasons, dreamworld things.... pretty sure demon cats could do that if they wanted to.... right?). Hope you like it ^_^

WOW! This is soooo cool!! I love it so much thank you thank you thank you!! The thing with the salt is really neat also! I might have to try that now... The dreamworld is so pretty (don't worry about the books, they can be behind the trees or something ;) ) It actually looks like the lake where we skate. Wow. Have you been to Quebec?
I will have yours probably the first week of August if not before. I have some ideas for it, and I am going to try and work on it on my flight later.

Have you been to Quebec?I'm so glad you like it :3 Yes try out the salt thing, it's so much fun! Behind the trees makes sense, that would keep them out of the way of the snow and falling moisture *nodds sagely*, as for the lake, I googled "frozen lake Quebec" and kinda did a mashup of all my favourite images, so who knows, one of them might have actually been your lake?
I will have yours probably the first week of August if not before. I have some ideas for it, and I am going to try and work on it on my flight later.
I look forwards to seeing what you draw come August ^_^ I'm sure it will be the awesomest!

It should be stated he's not well adjusted. No matter what you see in him in the beginning, he is not well adjusted. Nope nope nopey nope.
Really really hates his parents culture in general, but is fascinated with with the old world, and knows what he can from having two academic parents
When he starts translating old documents and sees that his parents were pretty much 100% percent wrong, his reaction will be a little like this:
Alexis: My parents were so wrong
Alexis: 100 percent wrong
Alexis: Good.
Has proboably improved a little after running away, actually
If he does something really bad its either for one of two reasons
1. He knew he would get away with it
2. He doesn't care that he won't get away with it
If he really loses it, leave.
Leave.
Leave.
Having people be concerned about him is actually really weird, okay.
Any positive personilty trait he has is so taken up to eleven that its a negative personlity trait.
So his loyalty and selflessness? Yeah.

Ah yes, the so-called selfur, or mage-selfie. Well known from mage academies all over Iceland.
Such colour, very poseful.

Your drawings keep getting better, have I already said that? The lighting is amazing, and I'm loving all the parkour poses! :)
thanks!! I wish I was posting more frequently too, there's just a lot of stuff happening. I do indeed keep the general thread updated, so if you're really interested you may look through the posts I've made and you'll probably find it? wow htat sounds self-absorbed hahahaNO PROBLEM 8) your parkour series is absolutely amazing btwThank you!!
Haiz: I actually went and plowed through the latest 20-something pages of GD-thread after I had typed my question because I felt like a lazy butt, so I'm more-or-less updated once more. Mostly a lurker on that thread, but you have my best wishes! Lovely mage-selfie and really funny sketch, Karris hair has really evolved since we were first introduced, huh.
Gwenno, beautiful painting, and the salt effect reminds me of adding salt to silk paintings (which I did exactly 2 of in high school), seems like the effect is kind of similar. I had no idea it would do the same thing on paper, it looks really cool!
I did Dancingranger today! I'm starting to get ridiculously pleased with these, and as a conseqence I use more and more time on each.
(If any of the remaining scouts find a parkour pose they really want their sssona in, just shoot me a PM and I'll do my best! (Elisabeth, Claire, Emil (if he is a scout, I'm not sure?), Adrai, Frenci and Sabrina, this means you :) So far I've done Hanna, Shane, Riika, Matthew and KMK in these poses (Solokov, Ilmari and Clara got drawn before I stumbled on this trend)

*Internal squeeing* Haha, I'm looking at that rune with such a surprised/sceptical expression ^w^ I don't know if I've said it before, but Sofie isn't too convinced that they actually work. She wants to believe in magic, but she's a little too insecure to put any trust in it.
I'm amazed with the dynamic you're managing to get into these pieces and how you keep them from getting too clustered with that many characters! :D

I'm starting to get ridiculously pleased with these, and as a conseqence I use more and more time on each.I wonder if you ever get bored of me repeating the same compliments each day? I just don't know what else to do though? It isn't as though I can *not* comment on how great these are, or how you can see the improvement pretty much with each picture, or how the parkour scouts series is turning out to be one of the best things ever! To do so would be inconceivable!

Heh, funny side note now that you're including WIPs, I didn't actually know that artists who drew people used the building blocks until very recently. Just assumed that they popped out near-perfect lineart straight onto the paper :P
Finished my art trade with Jesty! :DI believe that perspective and dynamic posing would be the thing you have just demonstrated brilliantly with this picture :) I'm loving it! As you said, we have looooooads of mages, and it's actually pretty nice to have something different

Another normal day for the group: the skalds are skalding, the foresters/hunters/biologists and whatnot are chatting, and the mages are making all the runes fly by accident. No big deal.

That's just delightful! I don't know what I like best: Helle-Mai's intent expression (presumably while carving some expedition-specific rubber stamps), Helga and Una discussing pastries, or the cute little epaulets you've put on my outfit. (Plus, I do in fact talk with my hands, even when on the phone.)
Julian, of course, is a whole bucket'o'funny by himself. (I hate to think what just blew up in his lab, and clearly Marja and Bosse feel the same way.)
My only regret is that Rollo's SSSSona didn't turn up in time to be included in your portrait: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg50470#msg50470

Boo! ;D I finally finished my part of the art trade with FeartheViolas and in the process discovered that salt can be used to create pretty cool stars and things :D (it's seriously blowing my mind here :o iz just too cool).Such pretty colors!! And I really like what you did with the cats! ;D
Anyways, this is supposed to be Sóley playing about with the demon cats in her dream realm (which I designed based on her answer on the personal dreamworld thread - no books sorry, I just couldn't think how to fit them into the picture without making it look weird, and the demon cats are slightly more insubstantial because erm.... reasons, dreamworld things.... pretty sure demon cats could do that if they wanted to.... right?). Hope you like it ^_^

That's just delightful! I don't know what I like best: Helle-Mai's intent expression (presumably while carving some expedition-specific rubber stamps), Helga and Una discussing pastries, or the cute little epaulets you've put on my outfit.
The discussion by the table:
Una – So, you made this pastry with the apples I brought.
Helga – Yes, but according to the recipe I should have used some Old World spices. I wonder what cinnamon or cardamom was taste like...
Una - Have no idea, but I have a friend, whose uncle's neighbour tasted cinnamon once. He said it was delicious.
Helga - I bet it was good! Ummm.... do you think we can ask our brave explorers to look for old recipe books … errrr… unofficially? For personal use.
Sara – Come on, this is an expedition for the sake of mankind!
Helle-Mai – Well, if you have money, or good connections, or some blackmail material…

Such a calm mood. The contrast with the other groups is tangible.
12AM, Mora, in the headquarters of group 5
"By jove Aamu, your flute play is absolutely sublime (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEzh3MwILY)!"
"Won't you try another biscuit"
"Why I would be delighted dear!"
"Which one of you rascals put coffee in my alembic!?"
Meanwhile, at groups 1, 2 and 3's place
*Screen cuts to the groups in the field*:
*scenes of utter carnage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Diu2N8TGKA#t=0m34s)*

Actually, Sara is a great believer in cuisine as an important cultural marker, so she'd be all for retrieving antique cookbooks and resurrecting Old World ingredients. (Ever since she was a little girl, she's wanted to try this fairy-tale stuff called "Coca-Cola" that her grandparents were so nostalgic about.)

HOW DID I MISS THIS OH MY GODThank you! ;D
Sorry for bringing up an older post, but I just wanted to comment...
I love it so much! How you manage to make the poses so dynamic is beyond me, but they all look absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
I wonder if you ever get bored of me repeating the same compliments each day? I just don't know what else to do though? It isn't as though I can *not* comment on how great these are, or how you can see the improvement pretty much with each picture, or how the parkour scouts series is turning out to be one of the best things ever! To do so would be inconceivable!No, wont tire of compliments, nope nope! Thank you som much! And lines - with the technique I'm using it's not som much lines as edges, which I find a lot easier. Digital lines are hard, so I prefer to avoid that if I can.
Heh, funny side note now that you're including WIPs, I didn't actually know that artists who drew people used the building blocks until very recently. Just assumed that they popped out near-perfect lineart straight onto the paper :P
Aaand I'm done!I love it, thank you so much!! I love the relaxed, chatting pose of my character. And the conversation with Helga is spot on! And Julian in the background is hilarious. And I could go on commenting on the characterization of everyone, just like for the other groups you've made. They're really very good, funny and beautiful.

"Julian, didn't you read the note I attached to that Old World cookbook you borrowed?!? It said to roast the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, not Centigrade!"I can imagine Julian having the imperial system of units described to him - "sixteen ounces to a pound, fourteen pounds to a stone, water freezes at 32 degrees" - and deciding that you know what, the old world had it coming.
Still volatile enough to explode though, right?Depends what's kept in it. Considering how often his experiments go wrong or some other bad news crops up, it's probably kept in the bottom drawer of his desk and is home to 'Dr Adamsson's Private Reserve' at the moment.

Haha, I can *totally* see Julian rediscovering the microwave oven just like the first guy in 1945:
http://www.technologyreview.com/article/400335/melted-chocolate-to-microwave/
Quote
Raytheon credits the discovery of microwave cooking to a grade-school-educated engineer named Percy L. Spencer. One day in 1945, Spencer was walking through a radar test room with a chocolate bar in his pocket; he came too close to a running magnetron tube and the candy began to melt.
Spencer was already known at the company for his curiosity and ingenuity, and he reacted true to form-he pointed the magnetron at kernels of corn and watched them pop, aimed for an egg and saw it cook so quickly it exploded.
SectoBoss, your mad-scientist SSSSona is one of the most entertaining (if nerve-wracking) additions to the cast. Are you this
Speaking of which, that alembic...
Depends what's kept in it. Considering how often his experiments go wrong or some other bad news crops up, it's probably kept in the bottom drawer of his desk and is home to 'Dr Adamsson's Private Reserve' at the moment.Are we talking brandy (yay!) or kombucha (ew!)?

but anything really destructive is bound to have Alexis thinking on the consquencces like- and i will never let this go but- SARIN GAS?? ? ? ? ?? ? ?- alexis doesn't know what sarin gas does bc it nobody bothered to tell him but if he does find out there will be yelling. so much yelling. he will be yelling at Julian.
im actually a really conservative person who it just really self-destructive and tends to lash out at people but i dont actually want anybody hurt BUT IF I DO THEN I ASSURE YOU THERE IS A REASON

Good point! That conflict actually could be a very productive engine of the story.
Just because Julian is so nonchalant about sarin gas (and all the other horrors he cooks up), that doesn't mean the rest of us should be. Fond though I am of the character, he does have a tiny streak of Wernher von Braun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9HrZq7Ro) (not the rehabilitated-Nazi part, I hasten to add).
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department," says Wernher von Braun.

And with all these cries of 'dangerous research' and 'unstable explosives laden with death gas', the situation might yet call for it. ;)
Honestly, I'd like to think I'm a much more level-headed person than my self-insert. But it's just way more fun this way!
Julian would like to remind everyone, again, that the grenades are perfectly safe if handled correctly. And after all, you're meant to use them on big nests that would otherwise require a full cleanse cycle. They have a ten minute fuse - plenty of time to vacate the building - and only release enough gas to make the building they were deployed on hazardous. Just remember to stand upwind to be on the safe side.
The large spray of napalm/thermite when they go off, well, that might cause a rapidly spreading fire. Might want to keep the engine of your tank running. Better safe than sorry!
I'm trying to make Julian one of those people who just gets more and more worrying the more they try and put you at ease. By the sounds of it, I think I might be succeeding. :D

Julian isn't quite at the FIMBY NO level yet, but he's getting there.

YOU'RE DOING IT JUST FINE B E L I E V E M E
I could describe my morals as 'high but not necessarily good' and people using me makes really freaking angry even though I'm glad to help, so prepare Julian for a punch in the face if this gets any worse. Just saying. Well, like, the stomach, because the face is really bony.
And Julian making a big mistake asking Alexis to do any modifications to the grenades like- What sort of magic did was even done to the grenades -Finnish or Icelandic?-, Alexis just barely counts as a mage, even though his magic is pretty powerful, it's not in any way controlled and never mind about what I said about him being too stubborn to learn Finnish, if he considers it important, he'll try. Same for Icelandic, especially if its the English of the Y90 or whatnot.
But he's not a trained mage. He is a not trained mage. He is not a trained mage.
And he can't science either. This is all your fault and somebody is going to die.
And you better hope those grenades are used correctly. (They probably will, since everybody has more common sense than Julian. And by that, I mean never used at all. Ever)

Actually, Sara is a great believer in cookery as an important cultural marker, so she'd be all for retrieving antique cookbooks and resurrecting Old World ingredients. (Ever since she was a little girl, she's wanted to try this fairy-tale stuff called "Coca-Cola" that her grandparents were so nostalgic about.)
It's good to know!
Would she mind some private business to expand
Helga's childhood fairy tales were about cinnamon rolls, saffron buns and sweet, spicy Yule cakes.
Julian please, keep the experiments in the laboratory. And give back the baking soda!

YOU'RE DOING IT JUST FINE B E L I E V E M E
I could describe my morals as 'high but not necessarily good' and people using me makes really freaking angry even though I'm glad to help, so prepare Julian for a punch in the face if this gets any worse. Just saying. Well, like, the stomach, because the face is really bony.
OK, that's a bit... much. I feel like I should refer you to the part where Julian asked Alexis for help:
I wouldn't describe that as 'using' your ssssona. Julian doesn't go into a lot of detail because, well, these grenades are a bit of a trial run and he might not technically be supposed to be handing them out yet. But Karri has the manual for you to read - and please remember that Team 2 has the option of not using these things. (And Alexis does get warned to be careful!) All Julian would want Alexis to do is make sure they do go off - some fail, for unknown reasons - from a safe distance. Which, from your description of your 'make explosions bigger' spell, he believes Alexis can do. Whether Alexis can or will is a different matter, of course.
Julian please, keep the experiments in the laboratory. And give back the baking soda!But I wanted to make a volcano! It's an old world tradition!

I DON'T THINK THINGS THOUGH OKAY
THAT ALSO APPLIES TO ALEXIS
and im just really on edge about people not telling me everything for various reasons and dont think things though and i kinda forgot about the maunal yay im an idiot
im out goodbye

sorry for being so worried about everything even when you said its probaly not going to blow in Julian's face
(but im still worried and idk alexis probably wont actually if you look at it from his perspective. woops. )

Adrai /Chandler: I hope the coloring is all right
Chandler's uniform isn't really that different from present day, I think. Something went a bit wonky with this one, to my eye. Probably the angle of the face, butI don't have the patience to redraw itit's too late to fix now

HOLY *Positive expletive deleted*!!!
Missed this earlier, and what the wow?! The coloring isn't only "alright", it's almost perfectly exact! The only two things are darker hair and a bit darker of a jacket, but daaang, for having no color reference and only one wonky sketch to go off of, that's... well, you just made my day.

also- blushes with embrassment- alexis is in group two, but its a bureaucratic mistake, he's really supposed to be in group 3, but somebody read cleanser in training on his form and put him in group 2. sorry for confusing everybody- but i assure you, he would totally join in

No, I think it's Lt. Karri again, as at the top of p. 2.
This is so delightful and funny, I can't even... I love that they seem to be learning Parkour and tai chi (maybe even bo staff fighting) as well as basic gun drill. (Also the whole idea of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" is doubly hilarious given the gender makeup of the team.)
Will you provide the names or some narrative background for some of the scenes?
Oh, and the last line is maybe the best -- where Haiz says "Oh my gosh, Lára, they're doing a montage! We need a Team 3 montage, now!"

Just so y'alls know how much I'm sacrificing for your amusement, that song has been doing circles in my head for three days now :o it just doesn't stop....... Terrible human being that I am, I hope that at least a few of you will get it stuck for a day or two as well :P
Wow, Gwenno, that's an impressive work with a lot of SSSSonas ! :DTell me about it! I got inspired by Daéa's efforts to do group pictures but couldn't for the life of me think of a cool way to include everyone, so obvious compromise = multiple pictures :D
This is so cute and hilarious and all spot on :D This is true perfection and I LOVE IT!!!Hehe thank you ^_^ good to know that Karri's acting in character at least :P
Gwenno: Ahhh, this is BRILLIANT!! I don't know where to start, this is just amazing! ;DEeeeeee thank you :) and yep, that would be Piney's glasses
Is it Piney putting on the glasses on the bottom of page 6?
This is so delightful and funny, I can't even... I love that they seem to be learning Parkour and tai chi (maybe even bo staff fighting) as well as basic gun drill. (Also the whole idea of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" is doubly hilarious given the gender makeup of the team.)Thank you, I'm glad it got such a good response ^_^ (glasses = Piney btw)
Will you provide the names or some narrative background for some of the scenes?
Oh, and the last line is maybe the best -- where Haiz says "Oh my gosh, Lára, they're doing a montage! We need a Team 3 montage, now!"
The gauntlet has been thrown... 8)
Also, we team 2 guys have to be trained in all the ways of awesomeness, otherwise the montage would be no fun to draw :P and believe me, this comment has me tempted to draw an end scene with everyone supporting ridiculous walrus moustaches at the end of it.....
I'm not sure how much narrative background you'd like for this (or what to say really), but character-wise:
Spoiler: show
Most are relatively familiar faces, but the others will be on the info dump ^_^
Ahhh! This is amazing Gwenno. Definitely the most best parody ever *nods* And I love all of;D I'm so glad you like the faces! Alice was actually the one who I had the most trouble with (no idea why?) so I'm really happy it worked outmyAlice's faces, it's all spot on! xD
GWENNO: OH MY GOSH THAT IS THE ACTUAL MOST BEST THING I WANT IN ON MONTAGES T--ohJOIN ME IN THE MONTAGE GAME OF AWESOMENESS (heh, figured you were a good choice for the team 3 montage enthusiast :P)!!! Seriously tho, it was crazy fun to put it all together, and I've seen the parody version you played (you must have posted it somewhere before) and it was a mighty funny thing :P
hahaha ha ha ha HAHAHaha ha
(fun fact: I played foxface in a fanmade "I'll make a man out of you" hunger games montage)
Okay, the images finally loaded and *cracks up*Finally internet, you behave! Behold the awesomeness of Alexis holding flamethrower (yep, both Alexis and Maja have flamethrower moments in this). As for owing me a drawing, I generally don't consider anything a solid art trade unless it's full colour, background and just them, so you may draw if you want to (I always enjoy seeing draws after all), but don't feel obliged because of this ^_^ It was just something I wanted to do :)
*sees alexis holding flamethower*
niiiiice
(and do i owe you a drawing)
Hahahaha I love it ;DConsidering that of the times you show up, one time you're crying and the other you're dangling off a bridge I'm surprised that you'd be so happy about that, but yeah, Clara does get some good moments as well (inc. glasses - there really needed to be an "epic glasses moment" and Clara seemed the perfect fit to provide that :P)I love how much I'm in it
(also pretty sure it is Clara on the bottom of p. 6, looking at the hairline and shape of the glasses, they're different than Karri's)
This is gold! That last frame cracked me up (they were all really good, but oh, poor Sofie!)Teehee, I'm so happy that everyone's getting some laughs out of this ^_^ I was originally planning on some kind of epic group pose for the last scene, and then AquaAquarion posted that strip and I just had to put this in instead :P Works out way better like this
Scout af the day: Francesca/Frenci:Good thing you don't get bored of my compliments because this is also a really nice one, these parkour poses are so much more interesting than regular old poses and really bring the scouts to life

You've got a real talent for expressions, actually. Well, a talent for everything.

I remember someone asking me if I'm open for art trades somewhere on this board. I can open two spots (have cubital tunnel syndrome, oh the joy), if anyone wants to. Can't do backgrounds at the moment, so the final pieces will probably be a variation of lineart + color depending on how my hands and elbows and forearms feel + time constraints.

The rest of the group seems... well, maybe not normal but, eh, subdued. It helps to be useful in a fight though. As for safety there are obviously safer groups... or rather, all the other groups are probably safer. But safety and the not-dying-thingie is important to group 2 as well, just sayin'!

Ehehehe bolded because this is kind of important to say the least?? I see a lot of oh yeah, that group 2, they're such cards but they're all trained in military maneuvers or at least good enough to get accepted into the mission, so while they may be doofy and dumb at times, they're also the people keeping the rest of you guys alive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The rest of the group apart from like, 3 or 4 people is pretty introverted and/or quiet and/or "'"'sane'"'" (my family has a huge history of mental illness and I get touchy about implied "'"'"'"'insanity'"'"'"'"'") so yeah, I don't know where I'm going with this but Karri =/= crazy and I'm just a little uncomfortable/miffed about constant categorizations as such when for once a character is not as introverted as the rest of the group

Yes, that's also an important point: "crazy/insane/variants thereof" is best used as a label for being a bit outrageous/rowdy, not as an implied diagnosis.

I apologize if my use of the word was offensive. I just meant it in the way Fim's talking about; my character wouldn't think that the people she worked with were actually mentally ill. (the second definition for 'sane' in the dictionary is in fact 'sensible/reasonable') Also I assumed Clara would be working mostly with the other cleansers and some of the hunters - the ones that seem to be most enthusiastic - so meeting people who are more introverted and maybe calmer would be a relief to her. (I'm not very comfortable around really enthusiastic people IRL so I was just reflecting that on her)
Oh dear Fimby & Curry! I would hope that it's not being interpreted as actually thinking any teammates are insane vs sane, it's more daredevil vs cautious to me!

and what resulted in Haiz doing... whatever lead to the blart incident, anyway? They needed a group 3 mage and nobody else volunteered?

Aw, that's adorable! Insightful, too. I think a lot of us have been in Helen's position of being pushed out of our comfort zones and finding it refreshing -- I know I have. (I've never served as a troll mace, though. Anyone trying to do that with me would need to be *extremely* strong.)

also I'm linking to the origin of The Blart Incident (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg32917#msg32917) for those of you who weren't around yet and who haven't bothered to trudge through all 200 pages of this thread, because it's wayy back on... page 82? whoa.
I also think it may have been around the time my hair trigger art reflex response started to develop (coincidentally around the time i was introduced to dood leordie. probably not a coincidence). I don't think this comic can even count as an "art reflex" since I actually spent more than five minutes on it. wayy more than five minutes
edit: also here's where we found out The Great Blart was the reason for Lauftrolls accordionness (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg33319#msg33319)

I know the entire thing kind of started out as a joke but hey nice opportunity for character development, right??

Oh dear Fimby & Curry! I would hope that it's not being interpreted as actually thinking any teammates are insane vs sane, it's more daredevil vs cautious to me!
Oh no no, I for one don't mind at all. I understand perfectly if some people do have reservations about those terms though. I throw them around absent-mindedly myself, but always in the sense you described. I think for my ssssona the words are very appropriate. I mean, imagine you are a Swedish skald and someone asked you to describe Norwegian hunters (or Swedish cleansers for that matter); most likely words like "crazy/insane/out of their mind" would come to mind for many.

Gotta agree with the othrens, it's refreshing to see Gwenno in a different light. She looks very reliable and more than a little bit ready for serious ham-kicking.
I'M SORRY FOR BRINGING UP THE BLART INCIDENT ALL THE TIME but i accidentally played out an entire dialogue in my head while at work today, and then my art reflex went a little rogue with it.

"I don't do that" *fingers crossed behind back* That's the most trustworthy face of the century right there :D.
Suffice to say I found this entire encounter so funny my half-healed sides almost split again! I think you single-handedly have ensured that the Blartening is immortalised as the closest thing to"canon" possible in this thread :P. The way Helen desperately tries to hide (http://40.media.tumblr.com/db08d84e23c73fe119d52f939e0653b5/tumblr_np0882ZEdZ1r2vklbo3_400.png)is plain priceless. I also like how the only thing my ssssona managed to extract from that entire sequence of praise/self-depreciation was "they want to join the group!". Mind your step Helen, you were this close to being press-ganged into Group 2 :P

in case anyone is wondering why my insert seems to be named both Helen and Haiz:
Helen is the """"real name"""" that most people call hir, and Haiz is a nickname/sort of True Name that surfaced after some elaborate process nobody really understands. Mostly used by close friends, but ze introduces hirself mostly as Haiz now, which confuses people who were told this was a Helen.
Ze reacts to both names, and pretty much any words that have the same amount of syllables and rhymes with Helen, as well as 'Helene', 'Helena' and variations thereof.

After drawing each group, I couldn't get the characters out of my head for a while, so I kept drawing them. I would finish a group picture and just pick a few of the inserts to draw separately because I was unable to stop. So here are all of my "intermission" (is that the right word? I don't know) sketches.

Does your science have a ginger guy riding a chariot driven by goats through the skies while smiting giants with his hammer?Nope, science has (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._V._Raman#/media/File:Sir_CV_Raman.JPG) no-one (http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/3300000/Tesla-Reading-by-the-Light-of-the-Tesla-Coil-nikola-tesla-3363025-390-561.jpg) so (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Alexander_Fleming.jpg) mundane.

She looks very cute, Mélusine!

*tentatively pokes head in*Yeeeeeah, I once couldn't forum for two weeks and this thread had grown maybe 50 pages (it's out of control :o ). I like how you have hair brushing to keep grounded, and then your birb is like "nooooooo, grounded is so dumb, come off the ground with me!" - you've such a pretty style though, and I can't be the only one who misses your contributions ^_^
Goodness, this thread has grown so big! I can't even remember which page I last read. And here's my contribution to the growing pile of artwork:

It's been a while since Curry told me they was adding the beginning of a page for my self-insert. It's also been a while I had "translate the introduction" on my to-do list. Sooooooo...Yayyyyyy ^_^ You've finished the bio, it summarises the main points from the story really nicely, and it adds a few nice extra character aspects on top. Von has a very interesting background and I can't wait until you overcome your writers' block and have more stories to tell :)
Name : Von Jónsdóttir
<finally Von gets a summarised background for the info dump ^_^ Yay!>
Bonus : I was listening to this title while writing "for" her the first time and it fits Von.
<mushishi opening song>
Also Mushishi is the most best thing and 100% my favourite anime series ever >"< hah, it's little wonder that people who like Minna's work are also mushishi fans :P
Haiz : Pppppphhhhhht, Haiz and Julian's interactions are some of my favourites. Silly godless swedes :P Agree with Unlos, I'd love to hear this acted out...
Also you should be pleased with the hair and the grossling on top of the sash - just saying, the hair looks really realistic (I checked out Sumeri's tutorial after you mentioned it last time because of the super quick improvement and I bet it helped a lot), and the grossling is such a creepy and creative mashup of organic things. It's pretty great :P

Hair brushing (minus an avian companion) is actually one of the things I do to wake myself up in the morning, because bed head=still in sleepy mode. Birb helping with her hair so they can get off the ground faster pretty accurate, haha.

If this is what happens if you watch a Disney movie before drawing, then I don't think you should stop! Your stuff is usually really nice, but there's just something about the colors in these :D

(Hi agin though ü)
Yes, before I tried to make the same style as "Hetalia" because that's how I rolled but now I'm trying to make more at my own style, like, trying to put more differences in faces, noses, height, etc. I made a lot of mistakes in here like the height or the hair. Xe's not that tall or have that strange hair I made.
For y'all: As I always say, I really do LOVE the drawings in here! Keep doing this beautiful art ^w^

Heeey
After drawing each group, I couldn't get the characters out of my head for a while, so I kept drawing them. I would finish a group picture and just pick a few of the inserts to draw separately because I was unable to stop. So here are all of my "intermission" (is that the right word? I don't know) sketches. It's under a spoiler because it's a lot of stuff.Spoiler: show

YEAAH
Okay, so I had an idea (which I'd act on myself, but oops, lack of talent):
Group 3's calm, kinda reserved skalds meeting thefreaking terrifyingvery enthusiastic cleansers in Group 2, because just imagine the personality clashes.
Alexis can serve as a sorta bridge if you would like, he's not as excitable and as big as a brat as I make him out to be. He just tends to mess things up when he tries... well, anything. But I am relatively good at keeping the peace. and she gets bored easily and needs really clear directions sometimes. but i swear she isn't punching people all the time. she knows where to pick her battles. vaguely.
and i could write it
some of it
maybe
"But you have another story you haven't even typed up ye-!"

Well I have added a spray tank to the back of my work rig that I could use as a flamethrower in a pinch, though the plastic bits would disintegrate from the fuel flowing through and the cotton hose would probably ignite too after it wicked through and started vaporing off...Soo.. probably not the safest thing in the world.

Upon popular request here is a meeting of team 2 and team 3. I honestly tried to have everyone acting in character and have some semblance of coherence it in, but there were just too many 'ssssonas to juggle (I'm seriously hoping I managed to fit everyone in, but I just don't know anymore :'( !!!!!!) aaaaaaand it kinda descended into a jumbled mess of something....... This thing has been kinda figuratively killing me for days, but maybe some you y'alls will get a laugh out of it (is it even funny? I just can't tell anymore.... HAH,BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!)
Anyway, hopefully nobody's major insulted by the way their ssssona was depicted. It's under a spoiler because it's just SO FREAKING LONG! (Long story short, Fimby decides to try weaponise bloptroll and team 2 decide to head over to a quieter place - team 3 base. Everyone gets along swimmingly then fimby + bloptroll arrive and chaos ensues. Sofie is not having a good day back at the communications office)

At some point you will have to sleep. Presumably you didn't glue your hat/socks to your body.I'll make a nest out of all my clothes and sleep in it. also magic. yes. magic is the best defense

Additionally I had an idea for the backgrounds for Khali, Dancing Ranger, Kicknrun, Kauniiunia and possibly
curry's characters.
Tank training!.... Actually probably just Khali, dancing ranger and Kauniiunia will use that one since Kicknrun and Curry's characters are cleansers I might use a different BG for them... Basically photos taken during training for dossiers.

Ha, that not OCC at all actually! I play damage control all the time. Except when I am the damage that needs control.

!!!! OMG, Curry, this is amazing!!!! There aren't enough BBCode special effects to convey how much I, a fashion history geek, love this!
What an incredible compendium of beautiful fashions -- and what a heartfelt tribute to each of us, to spend so much time and energy picking out and illustrating a unique look for each of us. My SSSSona and I both thank you. (I'm not sure which one I like best! Haiz in the 17th-C. outfit looking very "Orlando (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando:_A_Biography)"... Karri's amazing hair in a Marie Antoinette updo... the boys in their plus-fours and lounge suits... Trinka's adorably sleek 1919 dress... I'm going to have to go back and look again!)
You wouldn't know it to look at me, but I do in fact own a corset -- not that I've been able to squeeze into it for several years -- and if I had the money and time, I would immediately commission a dressmaker to sew me an 1880s bustle gown. In fact, I chum around with vintage fashion and dance enthusiasts: http://www.peersdance.org/events.html and http://www.gbacg.org/ -- and if you ever visited the SF Bay Area you would be carried in triumph on their shoulders through the streets.
Thanks *very* much for sharing your incredible talents with us.

And look at how sleek and adorable Mimmi is in THAT DRESS. It's so stylish and French and timeless and looovveeelllyyy. I'd totally rock that outfit IRL, and OH GOD it evem comes with a FABULOUS HAT. I love hats! You made her look like Lady Mary from Downtown Abbey.

Hanna's outfit is really fitting with her character, I love it! To be honest I would look to 1920-30's fashions for her as well, so you're spot on there. I like how you referenced her uniform on the fur trim as well - I can tell how much thought you put into everyone's outfits individually ;)

Curry - Oh my goodness gracious me, these are precious! i love how you've gone though all these timelines and your choice of character for each one seems to suit so well ^_^ I think it was definitely a good move choosing Quabus as the braided dress person, as you said, already loads of draws, but also I'm so unconfortable wearing dresses and skirts (irrationally so really) that I revert to wearing my big muddy walking boots with them, or a pocket knife hidden in my bra if my friends get too miffed at the obvious non-dressiness (I just really don't feel comfortable wearing them)

Coloudy - You get better with each drawing ^_^ How about you challenge yourself with Galeta doing cool dynamic things for the next one (running after a cat or something?) I'd really like to see something like that
Solokov - Deyum, you draw these technichy gadgets so well. It's so tidy and detailed!
Robin - I don't think you've ever produced anything that wasn't completely wonderful on this forum and this one fits in well with the rest (also hehe I'm apparently a memorable name on this thread :P ) I'd be up for an art trade, but I may not have internet until monday so send me a pm
Actually, I miss art trades. Can't see replies until I get back but if anyone's interested let me know (doing something for Unlos first, but definitely room for more!)
I reallly have no idea :o
How did I miss this the first time around?

This image takes place in the vicinity of Mora. A safe area recently cleansed and brought within the fences includes a splendid lingonberry patch, and Sofie (AquaArion) has enlisted some friends to help her pick over the berries she and Alexis (KicknRun) harvested earlier so she can make a slice. Unfortunately, Tabea (tabeabd) and Sara (Sunflower) can't resist the treat and, well... Alma (Kizzy) has her innocent face on, but what do you think? Alexis is *not* impressed, and Sofie has only just realised that the crust she's making no longer has a filling. Hanna (KauniitaUnia) has no idea, she's only just woken up and come to the kitchen to get a bite to eat before she starts her shift.

Once again I've missed nearly a hundred pages since my last post. *sigh* Well, at least I got a little drawing done this afternoon. Not sure it came out like I wanted, but I'm out of time and it will do.

This is such a lovely illustration! The scene is so cute (although Sofie probably doesn't think so...)
"Hanna (KauniitaUnia) has no idea, she's only just woken up and come to the kitchen to get a bite to eat before she starts her shift." -So in character, it's unbelieveble. I expect once she figured out exactly what she had walked in on, Hanna would be disappointed she missed out on some of that sweet sweet lingonberry filling ;)

I believe that this once I'll have to just not reply to everyone who said things about my comic, but I'm so glad that people felt they weren't horribly mis-portrayed (minus Aqua's sona being put in the wrong group, I read her as group 3, but because of the comic just kinda assumed that she'd be with communications - my bad :/)Don't worry about it ^^ I was unclear when I made the comic :P I just figured that, since group 3 moves in after group 1 and 2, they'd have some kind of communication going on before sending all the skalds etc to a possibly dangerous area.

This is just perfect!
The discussion by the table:
Una – So, you made this pastry with the apples I brought.
Helga – Yes, but according to the recipe I should have used some Old World spices. I wonder what cinnamon or cardamom was taste like...
Una - Have no idea, but I have a friend, whose uncle's neighbour tasted cinnamon once. He said it was delicious.
Helga - I bet it was good! Ummm.... do you think we can ask our brave explorers to look for old recipe books … errrr… unofficially? For personal use.
Sara – Come on, this is an expedition for the sake of mankind!
Helle-Mai – Well, if you have money, or good connections, or some blackmail material…
Bwahahahaha So offhand, just like cynical Helle-Mai. Awesome.

Aaaand I've done it, made it through all the pages in this thread (but no others) that I've missed. Along the way, I told my 13yo daughter what I was up to and what was the deal with the picture I drew (and a look through the infodump), and hearing that KicknRun's character Alexis was also 13, she went off to start drawing a ssssona of her own. She'd got an outline of the figure and an incredibly cute cat, and was working on a pattern for the tunic, last I saw. She's also nutting out a backstory/bio, a Swedish cleanser I believe. Unfortunately, her mother is really mean and makes her do homework and chores most of the time, so we'll see when she gets it finished. I haven't guided her yet through the process of creating a profile to unlurk, or an account to store the images for linking. At the rate this thread expands, we'll be on page 300 by then?

It's for some reason wired into my head above "I want" so it comes out first when that is what I want to express. Usually when the language I'm not currently using comes up first I tell it to go away and use what comes next. The exceptions are when I'm really tired, drunk, or in a situation where it doesn't matter what language gets there first.
You could honestly ask my friends, they all have a few icelandic and french phrases memorized from texting me or being in my vicinity constantly. It's a side affect :D

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT because that's 80% the reason I picked this picture. I'm shallow/predictable like that

So this is a story of the two of them ‘sneaking’ into the Mora archives offices, trying to find out what happened to a previous magic/science research team that vanished in mysterious circumstances.

Just to break the trend of excellent art, here’s a thrown-together story!Excellent and engaging writing. Hmm, how did Gustav get that chocolate, I wonder. Chocolate being extremely expensive and all.. And oh dear, Julian, try not to kill off the remaining known world, please!

yes that is indeed dreamworld haiz (http://41.media.tumblr.com/38cb7a22e8cdde671e66b864f4e4e3d3/tumblr_no6d3nUXfq1r6soqlo1_1280.png). wonder why the dreamworld doesn't provide proper archery armguards and stuff... anyway if it wasn't too late I would've tried to draw my own background (and turn the dragon into a unicorn), but it is very late and i have work tomorrow and i don't want to go to work but I should sleep.
VERY GOOD. THIS PLEASES ME.
I am stupid in love with that man's work. Like ohmygod, so beautiful, life goals. I am that person that will take any opportunity she gets to work him into her school projects somehow: essays, style mockups, logo design, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
ie. this menu I designed as a college assignment for a local coffee shop a couple years ago. All hypothetical, of course.

Anyway, very interesting, Very simmilar to a charter I rolled up for a GURPS fallout campaign. (Arizona ranger captured by the master and experimented on with FEV, failed to create a supermutant and he was thrown into the refuse pit, then his new abilities manifested and he fell through the shadows and escaped that way). Basically it was a loophole way of getting a shadow-mage into what should have been a straightforward gunplay rpg, and fit into canon because there's a couple of the master's experiments that have dimension breaking abilities bordering on magic.
Actually now that I think about it.. most RPG characters I've created fall into the Shadowmage realm of things. Oh well.

Rosy frame was done with pen and paper then scanned it (Ithink photoshop-users might like the "multiply"-tool, if you label your scanned/photographed sketch multiply instead of normal. it makes black become opaque and white invisible so it acts like an ordinary sketch-layer), because clean lines is something I can't really do in photoshop. For the same reason, the lines on Helia were done as vectors in a completely different program (Pencil2D, a free animating software).

Haiz, when reading about you and Mélusine visiting the Mucha-museum I got really inspired, so for my art trade with Helia, I attempted the same style :) And I'm looking forward to my very own kitty amigurumi! Which I'll likely get in person!!

Random question: Is there a 'sona D&D thread. Not the RP, but full-on fantasy adaptation. I think it would be awesome.What do you mean? Like, the same characters in a fantasy setting?

your sona's bio did say that she liked spending time in bed with a book, so...
(http://i.imgur.com/bRzoDyk.png)
apparently someone is interrupting her reading time and she's not happy about it
I did draw the legs, but drawing legs looking normal is apparently beyond my comprehension,so i just covered it up with a blanket.
i really hate digital art i spent like 4 hours on this and yET
it came out like this
and even i did i traditionally i wouldn't be able to take a picture
for various reasons
"why are there no arms"
i admit i have no excuse

seems like that magic deer transformation hasn't worn off completely just yet!
I also seem to lack the right energies for my usual method, so it's entirely possible some of my next art trades will be more traced mucha art... if any of my tradees don't want that to happen to them, PM me! I understand if it feels like cheating and if you wanted something entirely in my style^^"
alternatively, PM me if you also really want to be drawn in this style. that also includes people who want to start an art trade and aren't on the list yet.

I can't get over how they have the exact same look on their faces. ;D That's a great raven, very floomph, very clever-looking, and this is one of my favourite pics of Trinka yet!
Ahh thank you! I was convinced I hadn't drawn it raven-y enough.
Post by: Daéa Reina on July 29, 2015, 12:36:26 PM
(EDIT: Daéa, I love the movement in the second drawing, especially in the hair. And coincidentally, your picture looks like the "before" moment for the Marja I was planning to draw... )
I finished my art trade with Trinka!

Thanks, Piney!! Now I'm really curious to see your Marja! :D
And as Laufey said, Swagger's expression is MOST BEST!
These are both so very cute, I love it how in character you always get everyone! I'm dead jealous of your colouring skills too...
Ahh, thank you!! *-*
(and I'm jealous of your watercolor skills, I've been staring in awe at the postcard you sent me since it arrived)
aaaaaaand Kick, Daéa and Piney: eeeeee so many pretty arts!!! I love them all
Thanks, Haiz! ;D

Thanks Piney, I love it! They look so cute in your style, and you even put in Mimmi's little freckles, awwwww. I agree with everyone else, Swagger's expression in the best, he looks so satisfied with himself!

Yes. Fimby is meditating on top of a pile of weapons and dead trolls. Don't ask questions.
A sound mind rests in a harmonious body, which rests on a pile of vanquished enemies.

Daéa Reina - your pictures are so calming ^_^ I think it's the colouring pencils making it look all soft and the linework being all tidy, but these are some great trades. Robin looks so lively and puddle jumping seems totally in character to me!
Piney - I think the thing I like best about this one is Trigger and Mimi's matching expressions. They both look so smug - just made for each other! Your art style makes me so happy :)
Kick - It's so good to see you challenging yourself with difficult poses and background, and I hope you can see as much as I (and everyone else I'm guessing) can how much this is helping your art develop!
Haiz - Congratulations, I got so interested in Mucha due to your drawings that I started looking up more pictures :P Consider this a huge success and a step towards educating the world in cool stuff!
Feartheviolas - Pah! Real funny ideas here. You had me laughing anyway. Stop trying to steal Haiz's clothes!
Oh Deer - SANDCASTLE! Aaaaaw, you've put such lovely smiles on both their faces ^_^ It really conveys a nice sense of warmth and fun

Anyhoo, this is daiseerose's 'sona, Klarissa. Since she's both a medic and a cat-lover, I figured she wouldn't object to using her skills to help out a feline friend in need ;)

I am posting here with some information about them:
Riika is a Scout, only day scout, night would be deadly dangerous for her and she often wear mask and some glasses if she goes out to the wildness. She has sense if the dangerous is around, like she feels the trolls, beasts or giants, and get away in time, and warn the others if the area needs to be cleansed again.
Martti is a Cleanser, but as a back-up cleanser, he can’t go to the front either, He also wears mask each time he goes to burn the lands, the mask is both against the illness or the smoke. He actually writes down all stuffs that happens around him. he often sits down and write a diary, or sometimes he even writes stories.

I think it looks more like a Celtic knotwork engraving. Pattern welding in a forge results in a quite random pattern usually without the layered knotwork. Incidentally, the vikings knew how to pattern weld, but they also liked engraving (http://www.denstoredanske.dk/@api/deki/files/18880/=398403.501.jpg?size=webview)a lot.

For North, Martine: I was intrigued by the axes she carries.Spoiler: show
This looks super cool!! She looks all ready to cleave some trollbutts, bun and all 8)
Finally got to the page with this--it's awesome North! Thanks so much--it's much more impressive than you seem to think--I'm pretty jelly of the shading job actually, I can never seem to get my own coloured pencils to do the shading I want q 3q I'll try to get my end o the trade up as soon as I can, I promise TT vTTshushhhh don't feel bad, there's no need to rush
I'm glad you like it!! I did try my best, even though I am in an eternal struggle with coloured pencils /clutches chest
North (pose was inspired by this (http://www.livestrong.com/article/170152-basic-stick-fighting-technique/) - yes that was where I found that other one too)This looks super cool, I love the pose!! Man, I gotta practise my poses. My sona would totally practise stick-fighting.

- on cosplaying your sona: YES ALWAYS ALLOWED. (besides, I've posted several pics of me in my viking garb in this very thread for that purpose...)
- jeez lots of really Nice Arts again lemme just. throw sparkles at ya. I hope you feel Appreciated
and speaking of me not using layers
I drew a thing
with layers
not that it's much of a difference from me not using them (or only two), but I was inspired by attending videovance's stream today, and I'm trying to get better at digital lineart
so I drew another haiz
again

I mean I always like drawing haiz because it's a cool excuse to draw myself but not really myself, but ever since I changed my avatar the urge has only worsened. And that's not even spiraling into what kind of character is haiz what is their personality i mean they're based on me but what is my personality and stuff I'm wayy too tired to actually consider right now.
also heads up that I'm going to Brno for the weekend again, so I won't be able to work on any art trades during the next few days. I currently have 11 people on my list because I can't stop adding people apparently, but you all knew you're in it for the long haul when you signed the contract, so I suppose there's no rush. things will happen when they happen. good night!

However, siiince they're not reeally a mage and shouldn't be in the dreamworld anyways, I went all-out mahou shoujo VILLAIN and I have no regrets B^) This took me about a week of near-constant painting. Most of the hours went into the hair.

Sokkesnoken, or the sock snok, is a Norwegian mythical creature that steals people's garments, particularly their socks (and usually only one sock out of a pair).
You wake up one Monday morning and it's impossible to find any matching socks. So you curse the sokkesnok (unless you're like me and don't really care about whether socks match).

The hair, the clothes design the stars, it all came out so incredibly nice, and it was fun seeing part of the process during the stream! :D You are getting better and better at painting! \o/AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have to agree, it would be a pretty cool way to die v____v
And you animated the eyes so well!! It's both creepy and lovely. I will now have dreams of my body covered in blinking eyes, slowly suffocating in Karri's FLOMF hair. It would be a perfect way to die. *nods*

mahou shoujo means magical girl, but i left it in romaji because it's less inherently gendered that way and altho Karri is very female-appearance-y, alas, they are Not a Girl

Quick little 1.5 hour paint, but I like how it turned out! This is probably going to be a new benchmark for what my art trades look like style-wise (although how much of you is drawn will probably change in each one), so if you've got one coming, I hope you're okay with that :0

Kick: 8 layers? You still have a loong way before you're anti-Haiz, on my latest draw I had (goes back to count) 38 layers, with room for more but I decided to call it a day (it accumulates like - the boots have their one layer. With a separate layer for shadows, and another for highlights, and yet another for the lavender edge of the boot, all tied to the boot layer through layer masks) I'm going slightly over the top maybe but I find that many layers are helpful (also essential to name those layers, and slight pain when I draw on the wrong one..) And yes oh yes you're improving a lot, each new drawing (and background) are better than the last (Una spotting a troll is my favourite, though)
Haiz: I like how some small details on your drawings sometimes are really detailed, like the brooches on this outfit. They really pop. Very pretty!
Ana Nymus: I like that Clara seems to be getting over her slight fear of fire. And your papercuts are so impressive!
KauniitaUnia: Cool pose, and very cool scarf! Karri looks like a model there.

Like, those would have two layers, I think?? Maybe three. The mahou villain Karri had three (one for all the painting, one for the background, a leftover sketch layer to remind me what was going on once I'd painted over everything with the hair) and then all the other paints had two (background + everything else) until Oh Deer happened. I cannot tell you how beautiful it felt to be able to just. Boink! Painted under that! I didn't even have to reconstitute the line or anything!! It was lovely, but I'm also finding myself trying to erase things that are on entirely different layers and having to do kind of a reality check every time.
I also like to merge layers whenever possible?? On Oh Deer I ended up with four layers, again (background + body and clothes and hair + bow (the last thing I painted) + snow on top) but I think I tended to work on a separate layer for things like the face, so I could paint under the eyes and move them around whenever without having any ugly holes. Woo!

Post by: Gwenno on August 01, 2015, 07:19:38 PM
Aaaaaand I'm back to making art! WOOOOOOOOO!!!! First victim is Gwenno!!!Hehehe Gwenno approves of being first victim :3 (also I see you're using the salt trick, it's fun right!) This is really cool and i like it super lots ;D !!!!! The way the wind is blowing the hair, the shadowing and the pose all make her seem cooler than I am >"< and there's something about your style that's just so dreamy! I'd almost say it looks kinda lonely as well with the big sky above, subdued I guess? It fits in nicely with some of the things I was trying to convey in the backstory actually :) Also, can we just discuss how realistic that rock looks, because that's a very real looking rock :o (Imma say limestone at a guess or weathered granite :P )

Hope you like it! :D
Aha heh... When I first saw this, I misread Curry as Karri and*gasp* they're going to eat the last slice! Truly this is a villain beyond morals >:(

Yay! So glad you like it! I figured since you tried the salt on me, I would have to try it on you. Also glad the rock is a big hit :D

I am working on the Magesona art pieces, but am lacking in a dedicated art space right now as I'm visiting my family and am not at home - thus the delay in both that and any IP art trades!
In the mean time I've been wanting to post these for a while now! Random tidbits for Johanna's bio that don't really fit into her main personality and background profile, plus my first 100% digital art piece in at least three years and a lovely piece from Haiz! ;D
Things that Anna loves to do:
~ If she thinks that nobody's watching she will dance in the rain with abandon! She feels somewhat foolish, but it just bring her so much joy and comfort in it's life-sustaining force. Even just listening to the sound of falling rain is a soothing comfort to her.
~ Cooking and baking are important to her, she got really bored of rations pretty darn quickly and started experimenting to make more interesting meals, she got hooked on baking while staying in Iceland and training as a mage.
~ Paper is a pretty special commodity so she treats it with care, embellishing paper-products to take full advantage of the material and make them more personal (making and sending cards is something she absolutely loves). She also keeps a memory book (google smashbook to get the idea) to store precious mementos and odd bits or relics that she finds in the silent world.
~ She's probably only only seen a few board and card games, but man-o-man does she ever love them! She particularly loves group/party games and collaborative board games. She's always ready and willing to play after getting back to camp! (She may or may not pass up on saving books if it means she can save a board game instead, I mean really - why have a book on golf when you can have Ticket to Ride instead?
Edit, how could I have almost forgotten this one?!?!
~ She drinks tea like noone's business! She loves, loves, loves a warm mug of tea and has a stash of tea leaves, it's pretty much her guilty pleasure and a lot of her spending money goes its way!
Art by me for the collaboration project:

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hK_WXwgAbDhLqa-NLr4vFlqSJgFgpWM9MLcRM--0w3s=w531-h631-no)
And yes. This Sóley would steal ALLL of Haiz's clothing, even the ones she didn't want. She would just steal all of it and hide it somewhere. Then she would sit and catapult cheese cubes at Laufey for a few hours. This is a very evil Sóley. Let's all be happy that she's not actually evildespite her shady past
Wow, you sound so evil. Clothes-stealing is the worst possible crime ;) And being attacked with cheese is no joke...
I love your floaty cape. Very Disney villain-esque!
Second victim is.... Mad Robin!Sorry the colours look a bit wonky I only have my phone cameras to take pictures with :/
Thanks to Eriaror for fixing the colours!

Aw, Mad Robin is so cute in this picture! Both you and Feartheviolas are very skilled with watercolours :)

EEEEEEEE I LOVE IT! DO YOU GUYS SEE THIS?!?!? It's beautiful, and in character, and perfect, and...! It makes me want to go outside and read a book among the flowers right now ;D
Yours is in the works, but I'm going to be away for a week and therefore unable to finish it (and the others I have to do) until I get back.
So glad you like it! *feels really flattered, but am not so good at coming up with something other than thank you. So thank you! I really love doing these :D
The Haiz memes are really cute and on point!
Eeee this is very pretty! I love the flowers.Thank you! You were crucial in dragging me out of lurkdom and start drawing digitally (including buying myself a tablet) when you drew all those headshots, which was unexpected and so nice! Up til then I had hardly drawn anything digitally.
wh.. did AUKarri take the last slice? Nnnnnnooooooo!!
Kick, selfies, cool! I was dragging my hair out on how to draw your hair and those were really helpful. I knew I had seen one of them before but couldn't find it!
Aand I've been saving the world in X-com and haven't finished the arttrade yet, but here's another WIP (under the spoiler)
Spoiler: show
I think my ssssona will quickly learn Alexis' name in order to avoid patting shoulder for getting attention. Yesthatsagoodidea.
Alethryia, welcome back! That's a really pretty sssona right there (and I've been wishing my ssssona had just a liitle magic in order to sneak into your magegroup arts. But no, she's as unmagic as can be.)

figuring out how Haiz would be a villain is... odd. Normal Haiz is insecure and scared, but they are very honest and open about it. Villain!haiz would be scared and insecure too, but in a destructive and scornful way instead. also incredibly bitter and will carry grudges for ten thousand years
I'm pretty pleased with how the design turned out, but I'm not sure if I managed to make it anime enough...

I just. ugh. Once I get an idea for something cool into my head, I know I have to make it nice and do it justice, but then the useless artist inside me ALWAYS starts working on it, realizes it's going to take a while, and just NOPES right out of the project like HALF WAY THROUGH, and I have to physically force myself to sit down and FINISH. THE. DARN. THING.
So that was my long-winded way of apologizing to Daéa Reina for this art trade taking so long orz
Hope you like it; I felt like Rosy the Riveter would be a fitting model for Dia, who loves to fix things and DON'T NEED NO MAN, NUH-UH!

I like your SSSSona's background! It's realistic and totally plausible in the context of the Known World, but with a hint of the sly humor Minna infuses the comic with. It gives your character some backstory and motivation for why he'd join the SI Expedition, without bogging him down with detail. I'm not surprised it was hard to come up with a bio -- building well-rounded characters is always a challenge.
I have to ask: Are any of your character's co-workers shown here? (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=282) I hope standards of professionalism have risen in the Oresund Base radio shack since Trond & Co. were lurking there... 8)

evil!haiz is like. one of the villains early in the series, so they are very challenging and formidable but a season later they are small fry. maybe they're like. a recurring but useless villain. first impression is like "oooh what a cool design, they must be so tough!", second impression is "what a dork"

Ah yes another point! Villain outfits get more revealing, generally, but since you are a younger 'sona you could probably escape that. To be honest I was teetering on the edge of "ok but this isn't quite fanservice-y enough" the entire time I was drawing Karri.Yup yup. All too true. And the outfits don't have to be revealing: in fact many villains wear bandages all over them in stylish places, like Haiz's VillainSSSSona.

Welcome to the world of SSSSona! Your art style is very distinctive and I hope to see more of it!
I'm back to bullying other people's ssssonas, hello. :D This time it's Karri, I had free hands as long as the ssssona would survive somehow and - well - they probably will, as long as they get medical help very soon. Inspired by Gísla Saga Súrssonar, where a character gets his stomach cut open and uses his belt to tie down his guts so they won't get in his way while he continues to fight, so warnings for guts hanging out.
They look fine! Just some flesh wounds probably! What's that? Those are entrails!? Uh... someone get team 4 on the line, pronto.

That's really nice! I can almost feel the warm sunlight! :)Mission accomplished! And I couldn't resist XD The background needed something and then boom! Some Group 4 people
Also love the little scene in the background.
misea: Her hair looks amazing, the colors are amazing and... Who are those people arguing in the background? And is that Día sitting down?It's Trinka's Mimmi and... I don't remember who's the other person, lemme check... I think it was DancingRanger's Matthew? And yes, it's Día! c: I think I made her hair a bit too long though ._. (And I think that's Solokov's Strelokov coming back) I'm pretty sure the background scene is so OOC but I needed some people :I

I like the idea, it's very original! And the drawing is fantastic! Rosie is amazing, I'm surprised people still know about that character.
I can't speak for Trinka, but Rosie the Riveter still occupies a significant role in U.S. culture (or should I say "memespace"?).
There is a Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park (http://www.nps.gov/rori/index.htm) about 30 miles from my house, at the site of a major wartime shipyard.
They're having a huge Rosie cosplay (not that the extremely square National Parks Service even knows the word "cosplay") on Aug. 15:
http://www.nps.gov/rori/planyourvisit/rosie-rally.htm
She's become a meme: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/propaganda-parodies

Gee, that cat is gorgeous! Your colors are always so nice and smooth, too.
Thank you! Tim-Tim is based on my cat Joey, he was more than content to lounge about and have his photo taken so I could get the colors right!
congrats you will be forever stuck at food making duty
the collaboaration piece is so pretty!!
Thank you! If it means I can stick everyone else on KP duty, I am all for staying on chef duty! ;)
Wohoo, let's be cooking buddies! \(^w^)/
YES!
Alethryia, I updated your infodump slide with a link to the new information. Would you like to also update your picture to one of the newer ones, or leave as is?
Thanks - I think leave the slide picture as is for now! :)

I think the pants are very fun! You drew the fabric wonderfully!
I drew my own character, which came out super cartoonish:
(http://i.imgur.com/hRGki4t.png)Spoiler: Bio? • show
Its almost funny how hard it was for me to come up with that bio, guess writing backgrounds isn't really my thing.
Welcome, your art is absolutely adorable!!! Your character bio is also excellent, I love the irony of his history and station! ;)

Yay! So glad you like it! I figured since you tried the salt on me, I would have to try it on you. Also glad the rock is a big hit :DHehe, oh yeah, you've managed quite a good streak of giving the physical copies to their proper 'sonas haven't you :P. Well maybe if you go to Japan again I'll be there ^_^ (or Wales, but I won't be around there for very much longer). Your art rate over the last few days has been impressive stuff as well, much pretty watercolours :) so did you catch the hair-trigger art reflex from Haiz, is it contagious? Should we be worried?
(and as I've offered to the others I've done art trades with, if I ever see you in real life, you may have the original)
Here's my half of the art trade with daiseerose!:o Oh this is so beautiful, and so much thought put into it as well! It's just like a snap out of their lives and I wish we had that sunshine over here ^_^ It's too bad you're too tired to art, I would have really loved to have seen a tutorial, but maybe next time you draw something you can take a screenshot of the progress or whatever works best for you?

I drew my own character, which came out super cartoonish:Ah this is good, you've so much character in your drawing style ^_^ I like how you're fitting this around what we already know of Oresund base and don't worry, it took me a few weeks until I wore an actual bio for mine so at least you managed to stick them all together from the start!

Post by: John Candlebury on August 03, 2015, 10:04:26 PM
And wow this thread sure moves ultra fast, let me comment on a bunch of stuff!
-----------------
Villain anime Haiz looks rather villainous, also looks very awesome. Really like the odd tone-green lines, they give your character a very emotive and toxic atmosphere (for lack of a better word).
Unlos: Those striped pants are very well done, you really captured the flow of the fabric with that shading.
-----------------
I have to ask: Are any of your character's co-workers shown here? (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=282) I hope standards of professionalism have risen in the Oresund Base radio shack since Trond & Co. were lurking there... 8)
EDIT: I just noticed the mismatched boots -- how'd that happen?
Yep that would be them! I pretty much got this idea from how carefree everyone on that office seemed. Would be the best to work :D
The story behind the mismatched boots is nothing remarkable, it's just the kind of stuff that happens when you assemble a cleanser uniform out of clothes you borrowed from friends.
John Candlebury: I really like your style and your character, really well done! Looks like his expression of "I regret everything" is permanent? At least while he is with the expedition...
Thats probably just the: What do you mean with troll infested village? face. Pretty sure the the regrets part comes shortly after though.
-----------------
As last topic, my checklist on how to draw evil, inspired by the great tvtropes:
-More elegant or at least more expensive clothes that what the good guys wear.
-Dark subdued clothes with a single contrasting color are great for evil; if on the other hand, you want a villain dressed in pastel colors, then the lavishness of their outfit serves as the evilness indicator.
-A mask, hoods or anything covers your character's face. A lot of characterization comes from what they use as concealment: a hood is roguish, a scarf+hat hat combo is classy, a ski mask is a terrorist, a gas mask is oppressive, only a psychopath would wear a burlap sack, and masks tend to vary depending on their design, but for some reason I tend to link them with mental disorders.
-Triangles are Illuminati and EXTRA-evil. The more angular and pointy bits the better, be that in your characters complexion (say a very angular face and nose or a very thin torso/upper body) and/or in their clothing.
-In fictionland, ragged clothes don't make you look like a hobo. Consider that when choosing your own evil sorcerer outfit.

I was just going to say that our greatest challenge is to villainify Blorptroll without anyone going "awww, he is still cute, though". Is that even possible?our dear almond-goddess did a nice try (http://almond-goddess.tumblr.com/post/120170541456/blorp), but people still called it cute so I do not feel up to this task tbh
Not villainify, but make tragic perhaps - considering its size, it was almost certainly a baby before the Rash got ahold of it (might explain why all it does is scream, too).

I refer you to the second (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwFMuFGmftzORGQwM3UxeHhTMFE/view?usp=sharing) paragraph. Good luck finding fingerprints. Now, I suppose they could run DNA, yes, but to do that they'd have to send it off to... oh, the Mora labs. Well, that's good, right? You can rest assured no evidence will be tampered with. We pride ourselves on that.
(I need to stop this before I bite off more than I can chew)
/me finds this all madly amusing
What makes it funnier is that another fanfic author recently asked me, "How likely is it that Sara would use blackmail to get her way?" I guess we're finding out. 8)
As for the Blorptroll, I've suspected from the beginning that it probably grew from a baby. :(

I was going to say something witty as a comeback but you know what, I got nothing. I'm also having a sneaking suspicion that this is by far not the first time. :-\
Viola: OH YES, that happened. I had forgotten about it already. :D
That's probably wise. Sara happens to be traveling with a lot of alert young Cleansers, mages, and scouts, all of whom are heavily armed and some of whom are a little trigger-happy. I'd hate to see anyone get hurt. (Sugary smile.)

(also I apologise for any issues in her skin-tone, the dark brown pencil has been missing for ages so I had to build it up from approximately the colour of Mad Robin's hair, instead of starting with something closer to the mark. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped.)

Here be the spreadsheets (yes I made multiple) (https://www.icloud.com/numbers/AwBWCAESEMG8_GnWXr_pULkHoJq1wVEaKkFr5gkqoAuGda1nndIwDBv2zcTw4g09sBswJyDzbNadRQt9h6WXsc2JJQMCUCAQEEIPjQBOvsMsQIRu2x5XHz3-NPBBb4lYdqflKtAqzV5CEk#SSSSona_Spreadsheets)
There's also statistics and stuff and with annoyingly empty sections because sucky wifi and that's all for now byeeeeee
It all looks awesome, But for Jahoanna you have "Norwegian" in the Icelandic minty-green instead of red. ;)

Since some people were doing Mucha-esque stuff I obviously had to get in on that. Laufey + Lauftroll as the first attempt.
AGHHHH! I love all your water colors, the piece here, those in the art museum, the tarot cards - ALL OF THEM!!! ;D
Can I join the fun, guys? :D

"Julian, dear, you're saying you can't renew my lab access card because they're tightening up on civilian access? That's *so* disappointing. I trusted in your brains and resourcefulness, but [wide-eyed reproachful gaze] I suppose my trust was misplaced. (No, I'm afraid I just ran out of the honey-glazed roasted chickpeas. I *might* have time to make a batch later.)
"Well, it's funny you mention about the lab -- the Mora archives are also cracking down on non-authorized access. And I heard rumors they'd had a break-in or something (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg54663#msg54663) lately. Obviously they don't suspect any of the regular visitors; why would regulars need to break in when they have authorized access? The vandal, or thief or spy or whatever, would have to be an outsider. Constable Larsson told me they're running fingerprint analysis..."

I'm wayy to drained and unable to focus to join in on the fun right now, but I'm gonna point out that Blorptroll mainly shrieks in norwegian wovels, namely the usual ones + Æ Ø Å. I don't doubt it tries to expand its vocabulary by adding some ä's and ö's once in a while, but those are rare.
This has been your Blorptroll Fact of the Day!

I've got an Altverse thread set up already. You can move the posts there anytime.
It would be very in-character for Villain!Sara to simply move all the villain-SSSSonas to the thread mentioned above:
https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=537.0
However, since being a dictator is easier when people have an illusion of choice (they kick up so much less of a fuss that way), are y'all OK with my doing so? If any of your posts have non-villain content as well, I'll leave them here. However, I will expect you to move your villainSSSSona material yourself to its new home.
Anticipating your *prompt* and *cheerful* compliance (or it will be remembered come Performance Review time...)
And Ragnarok, dear, I'm so appreciative of your helpfulness that I thought I'd let you know a cubicle has opened up on the main level. You don't have to stay at your current desk in the basement if you'd rather not.

It would only be better if any of your posts have mixed villain and non-villain content; that way, you can copy and paste only the villain content into a new post in the AU thread. Otherwise, it's probably easier if I (as a moderator) move all the relevant posts, because I can keep their original posting time and order in the thread.

I usually listen to music while I draw. I listen to music while I do everything, and I sometimes let it influence what I draw. So there I was, starting on Lauftroll when Gordjöss by Páll Óskar comes on.
Sorry Laufey. I do think you mentioned Gordjöss being your favourite Páll Óskar, and I just couldn't get this image out of my head. Without further ado, I present to you all:
Páll Óskar Lauftroll!

Fresh Paint. It's free on my computer. The new arrangement works well for me because I can draw directly on the screen. The watercolours are very real and it's a lot of fun to play with. I'm still figuring out how to use it.

As for scanning software it's just the stuff that came with the printer (Epson), the thing is a little over ten years old I think and crashes 3/4 times when I try to scan something colour greater than 50dpi). I've accepted I won't get the colours I want (after trying for ages with Solokov's pic) so have been using more vibrant shades to try and counter it, but it still makes me sad to see the difference between the original and scanned versions :-\
If you can even get an older version of Photoshop it has a scanning program in it. You just have to have to tell the program what kind of printer you have. I am still using 2.0 Photoshop. My printer/scanner is about 10 years old too. I can scan in at 2500 dpi. I rarely do that unless it is a file that I am going to print poster sized prints from. I scanned the picture of Katja in at 400 dpi. Then I had to reduce it for the web by 3/4s and it was still huge. I think that will let you by pass the problems with your old scanner. I have had no problems from mine but mine is a Cannon so it may be because it is a different brand. But the scanning portion of the Photoshop is sweet. You can make many adjustments at that point. By putting it in grayscale mode for a pencils sketch like mine you can suck all the yellowness out of the paper and have a perfect white background. If you go to replace your scanner with a younger used one I recommend getting a Canon. They just really hold up.

I also edited Ragnarok's introductory post to clarify that's where they are. (Because what's more villainous than editing someone else's post without a by-your-leave?)
I changed all the post subjects to "Villain-SSSSonas." If you don't care for that subject, you can edit your own posts. Curry, as creator of the original post, can change the entire thread's name by changing their post subject.
If I missed any posts still in Self-Inserts that *should* move, or moved any that *shouldn't have*, please let me know. In a few days, I'll delete my posts here about the move and encourage those of you who discussed the move to do the same.
Haiz, I didn't move your original Villain-SSSSona post because you discussed other Self-Insert items in it as well. But would you consider pasting the material into the new thread, so we can see it there?

Yay, I love this! Thank you! The colour of that apple! And the new shoots at the top of the tree! And the texture of that lovely ladder! And the pose and fabric of the clothes! Thank you again :-)Heeeee I'm so glad you like it, it was hella fun to draw :3 Not gonna lie, I'm ridiculously proud of that apple, in fact it probably steals the show even though it was the least effort thing in the whole picture :P (ah well, at least the hunger games mystery has been solved at long last)(now we know what happened in Kicks first hunger games simulator)
You're becoming better and better, Gwenno :);D Thank yoooooou!!!! Haha, oh dear, this is exactly what I like to hear (I'm worried that all this praise will make me insufferable >"<), I look at my stuff and can't tell if I'm getting better from picture to picture, but surely if someone else is seeing it it must be so
Wow! I love the colours you used in this! It's so pretty!Thank you :D I'm happy to say that my scanner issues are almost completely resolved and the colours you see are almost exactly the same as the ones on the paper (It must makes me so so happy to be able to share it as I want to at last!)

Area of Birth: On a boat, on the way from Pori to Luleå
Animal Companion: Have a (Grade B) cat named Linow
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-20s
Grew up in the forests around Lulea. Was homeschooled from the age of 4.
Found Linow when I was 14, when she was a kitten,

Hey guys! So here I am jumping aboard the self-insert bandwagon. (Goodbye free time!) Here is my SSSSona:
Otso Talvela - King of the Winter Forest
Nationality: Finnish/Icelandic
Occupation: Scout/Hunter with minor magical abilities
Immunity: Yes
Hobbies: Art, Meditation, Swordfighting
Languages: Icelandic, Finnish, Swedish
Area of Birth: On a boat, on the way from Pori to Luleå
Animal Companion: Have a (Grade B) cat named Linow
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-20s
Grew up in the forests around Lulea. Was homeschooled from the age of 4.
Found Linow when I was 14, when she was a kitten,
and named her after a city that I read about in an old book.
Have always been fascinated with swordplay, and forged my own sword

I've added your 'sona to the infodump - here is the slide! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.gdcf3dc158_0_0
I'm looking forward to seeing your artwork as well! :)
A quick question though; what do you mean by "Finnish/Icelandic" as your nationality? Does it refer to the different countries that they have lived in during their life, because in that case wouldn't Swedish also be included in that list seeing that Otso's birthplace is the Swedish town of Luleå. In any case, which nationality would you like to be listed under on the nationality slide (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13uzpOibHVPGaUXxIKW_8oPM4SiYfZjCU2d4QyFWuPjY/edit#slide=id.gad10b482b_25_0)? I wasn't sure what to put you down as, and I don't want to make an assumption :P

Sour Gumimmi Candi
Because Mimmi's super sweet, but also really sour: you can't help loving her anyways! She's great for any situation, with a bunch of different flavors for each one! Gummy worms, gummy bears, it doesn't matter: she loves all that silliness and cutesy stuff, she'll dress up for the part. Plus she's a colorful,quirky character, just like the candy ;D

Logically, this can only be decided by a fight to the death between group leaders. Someone wake up Fimbulvarg....
While a round of fisticuffs sounds fun, it really is up to the recruit in question which squad they want to join.
No no no this sounds like a really entertaining idea! Don't back down now that I already got the popcorn!
I can volunteer the Lauftroll for the waking up -part. It's really good at swooping in, flipping a bed over and retreating immediately.

The Lauf is a really slow troll if the spjoing function doesn't count, by the way! That's why it hides in walls and ambushes its prey, it can do quick leaps forward and even faster vacuum cleaner cord retreats but out in the open it would be slow and clumsy. It's great at climbing but not the fastest at that either.
Whack-a-mole with holes in the wall, now that I could totally see happening... :D

I would feel maybe a little bad for once again calling on you to draw stuff I want to see ... but nah, with this kind of result I couldn't possibly feel bad at all :D
So, I, uh, um, yeah.... thank you.
Also the expressions are great! Lauftroll looks like it has decided this immovable object smelling of rust and weapons oil is definitely not food.

believe me when I say I would've art reflex'd it long before you asked, except I didn't have the opportunity to before now. but I find the fact that you genuinely requested a drawing where you're flipped over by a troll endlessly amusing
"not food", or maybe even... object of revenge

Well, it's more Bergen kommune than Bergen the city, but fair enough. Besides, I took another look at the map over cleansed areas, and noticed that where I live now (in Sogn) appears to be part of the cleansed area, so I'll change it to that. How lucky I am, I'll survive the rash apocalypse :P

At least you're not in the south or east of Norway, those guys won't have a good time.
Oh, and what is this about art trades? I know what it is (barely) but I've never tried it. Is it so that one just agree with another to draw their character?

For anyone else, if someone wants to do a art trade, let me know. I'll give you some more details (like colours, build, whatever) for my character if necessary, and I'll probably give you more than just a sketch (the one of my character is just a sketch) if you want that.

Question regarding art trades:I'm willing! If you have something specific in mind (I remember you talked about a comic of how Arbet joined the crew), just PM me. I'm not the fastest worker these days though, as my glorius vacation is over. I want more! Right now! (Am totally working all day tomorrow, but let's not think about that right now)
Would anyone be willing to trade art for stories? Granted I'm a very slow writer but I'd like to see arts without having to draw, since my drawingstrips the sanity from those who behold itis not very good....

Thanks! And the reasons I finished it this quickly are mainly: 1. draw in one sitting, 2. use the original lines of the sketch, just remove some of them so it doesn't look that sketchy, 3. I don't know how to do linework >_>, but I hope you don't mind that (doesn't look like it :P)
Besides, I had your picture to look after, so the details were fairly clear (:
Also, let me know if you'd want the version without the background (the background is a bit iffy), I barely know how to do layers, but that one I managed.
But yeah, you're welcome, I'm eagerly awaiting yours. 8)

Hi, I have to admit that I can't read through all of these pages in one sitting, but making yourself in the SSSS setting sounds really interesting, so I'd like to make sure that it's still about that kinda thing before doing so.
So, yeah, would it be okay for me to post a sketch later? Also, I really like what I've seen so far of drawings.
Edit: Oh, well, read the FAQ. Sorry, didn't know there was a whole forum about this, so nevermind the above question.

I thought I would share my meager attempt with you. She was originally supposed to be an OC, then she became more like a self-insert during character design.
A couple further words: Her clothes are inspired by estonian national clothing, but heavily simplified to be more suitable for day-to-day wear. She has another set with all the little frills and embroidery set aside for special occasions.
(http://i.imgur.com/QqzmUA3.png)
Age: -
Name: Airi Viiding
Nationality: Finnish-Estonian
Area of birth: Saimaa
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Civilian herbalist
Languages: :estonia: :finland: and a tiny bit of :sweden:
Airi is part-estonian from both lineages, with the main bulk of her non-finnish ancestry being comprised of the descendants of Helsinki’s immigrants, post-rash refugees and one seaman in the form of her paternal great-grandfather. She has four living siblings in total, however only the very youngest of them – Asko – is still residing in her home village. Airi’s sister married off to another settlement whilst her older half-brothers left with some others to prepare Gogland for permanent settlement and have yet to return.
Airi is a devout worshipper of both finnish nature spirits and the estonian pagan god of Taara. She does her best to, within reason, keep the songs and traditions of her people alive for the future generations and dreams of someday seeing Tallinn – even if from afar. Her family used to own some Old World books, as well as the memoirs of her seafaring great-grandfather, but those were all sold to a traveling danishman when she’d been a little girl.
Her main role in the community is that of a healer. Although more knowledgeable of pharmaceutical medicines than an average person she is one of those people who strongly prefer „natural“ remedies for non-life threatening ailments. Her backyard is filled to the brim with herbs and the occasional cucumber plants, which she diligently takes care of during the summer. At winter, however, the woman dons a pair of skis and a rifle, joining the scouts in locating and eliminating any beasts who might’ve wandered too close to their home.
The finnish side of her ancestry gives Airi some meager affinity with spells, which she uses to it’s fullest potential when healing or warding her home. However, despite this, she is definitely not a proper mage.
More sketches of her: Click (http://i.imgur.com/eSmNm8K.png) Airi's preferred method of dealing with injuries*, her winter clothes and a ski-chase after a rabbit-beast across frozen Saimaa.

Welcome to the sona world! Airi looks like a very interesting character, and I like your art style, too! I don't know that we have many Estonian characters; we might not have any at all (but don't quote me on that). In any case, some Estonian culture (and some medic knowledge) will be greatly appreciated by everyone, I think!

As far as I know she's the only one. :)
Thanks for complimenting my character and my art style. :P These sketches are not my master pieces, unfortunately, but I kind of like them. And who doesn't need a medic! I do not know how good she would be on actual expeditions, but I'm sure we'll manage to get some sort of a use out of her. I mainly made her so I would have a viewpoint through which I could write some short stories and stuff, her turning into a self-insert character was just a happy little accident.
Yes, welcome Cliodna! :D Mind if I add you to the SSSSona spreadsheets? And you can sign up for an expedition group in this thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=486.0) (the spreadsheets are just for funsies aka if you want to see some stats and fun facts about the SSSSonas on the expedition)Thanks for the welcome and no, I don't mind, go ahead. :)

I've collected most of the drawings (the people who gave me permission to post their stuff, so a few are missing) on this pinterest board (https://www.pinterest.com/Unlos/stand-still-stay-silent-ssss-self-inserts/) (updated sporadically). (Haiz, is it something for the FAQ, do you think? Or does the infodump and spreadsheet make it unneccesary?)

Hello! I've yet to manage to read all the way through the thread, but so far I have had a look at the character compilation as well as the first 15 pages of this thread. Everyone's characters were great to read about, but a few people who exceptionally stuck out to me, in a positive way, were the icelandic falconer, the finnish-estonian(?) stamp maker/beekeeper and the accordion-troll. There were others as well of course and I might drop some favorable comments on them as I keep reading. :)
I thought I would share my meager attempt with you. She was originally supposed to be an OC, then she became more like a self-insert during character design.
A couple further words: Her clothes are inspired by estonian national clothing, but heavily simplified to be more suitable for day-to-day wear. She has another set with all the little frills and embroidery set aside for special occasions.

I KNOW RIGHT.
One night my mind was like,
"Yoooooooo, you know who would look dope with a cool Tim Burton style drawing showing the symbolism of inner monsters and the inevitability of their own fate and blood and sinister undertones????? LAUFEY, that's who!"
(DUDES, I totally recommend drawing like The Burton at least once. It's so freeing, what even are clean lines??? And if anyone else wants a cool Burtonified version of their Sona for their art trade, just lemme know, kay? Cuz I think I might have caught the Burton Bug)

@Trinka: yes i would also like to art trade with you who is this burton person everyone keeps speaking of

Let me explain you a thing
Tim Burton is the creative mind behind such iconic classics as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, The Corpse Bride, Batman Returns, and many others. He is known and loved for his quirky sense of style, mixed with the sinister and twisted. He changed the world of costume, set, and character design, opening many doors for "weird" individuals such as himself. He is a great guy, and a legend. You can immediately tell if something is inspired by Tim Burton.
A few examples:
Spoiler: BUUUURRRTTOOOONNNN • show
Can you tell he has a special place in my heart? ;)
So now that you know who the Man behind the Legend is, did you want his style? Or was this just a regular art trade request? :)

i knew i recognized it from somewhere
yes i want his style yes
(although i'm not sure what you'll do with alexis, he's not very terrifying, is he)
and if you want anything in particular for your trade...

The fun thing about ol-Burty is that you can go whichever direction you want with it: the goth cutesy, or the disturbingly horrifying. So you don't need to be terrifying to be drawn in his style, just open to a few color tweaks for that strange and gloomy look :D
Spoiler: look at this frozen fan art for goodness sake. it is fracking adorable • show
On that note: I know you've been fidling with the design for Alexis quite a bit recently. Where would I be able to get my hands on the most recent design you had in mind for him (both dreamworld and regular outfits if you don'y mind; I like having choices for inspiration on where to take the drawing)
(And never underestimate my ability to make anybody terrifying.....(http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/devilish.gif))
And in response to your question: Maybe Mimmi oohing and ahing over some useless piece of junk she found from the Old World that has absolutely no practical value in Y90, but is cool and old-timey, so she can't help but love it anyways :)

It's just so convincingly Burton-esque! And creepy, one of the creepiest Lauftrolls to date and I mean this as a massive compliment! Both of them in the same picture even, and the inverted picture - eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ok that was the end of my coherence, from now on I'll communicate my feelings by rolling on the floor and happy-kicking things! Thank you so much A+++ would art trade again!

Gotta second everything that has been said about the amazingness of this adaption and the massively enhanced creepiness of the lauftroll. So far the lauftroll has looked almost a bit cute. This version looks plain sinister.
Also 'dere' in 'dere kan ikke unnslippe deres skjebne' is 2nd person plural, like the plural form of 'you' or german 'ihr'. So the sentence is referring to multiple people (but maybe that was the intention, like, it refers to the trollsona and humansona both).

YUUUUUSSSSSS, LAUFEY SEAL OF APPROVAL HAS BEEN EARNED!
*YOU HAVE LEVELED UP!*
I'm so happy you love it! I felt so bad for so long because I hadn't gotten yours done, I just kept battling my inner demons on how to properly showcase your inner demon. I knew I wanted a whole double persona thing going on with both versions of Lauf, because her story is just too tragic, but didn't know how I wanted to do it! Glad this idea came to me, it was lots of fun to make and plan out: lots of loving for Tim's work happened, I had forgotten how much I liked his style ;D

YAY FOR CREEPY LAUFTROLLS! That was the whole idea of this: I really wanted to showcase the downright sinister nature of the plague on its victims.
And as far as "dere" being 2nd person plural, that was totally my intentions. I wanted it to have a proverbial feeling to it, like an omen: not so much about how Laufey can't escape her fate, but more like how you (people in general) can't escape their fates :D

For anyone else, if someone wants to do a art trade, let me know. I'll give you some more details (like colours, build, whatever) for my character if necessary, and I'll probably give you more than just a sketch (the one of my character is just a sketch) if you want that.

And as an update, I'm going to close down the requests for Tim Burton Sonas at the moment, simply because I have a few already, and I don't want to end up hating him by the end of this all (which can happen to me if I draw something too many times ).

I got to say, Trinka, your Burtonesques are absolutely amazing and incredibly creative. Also I finally got to see what you needed with that ominous norwegian quote you asked me to translate, hahahah. Anyway, I got you up on my (currently slow-going) art trade list so I can muchafy your 'sona, and if you wanna burtonify mine in return that'd be perfectly okay with me :3c

So burtonssssonas are amazing and a thing. I also saw the post where they were closed, my bad.
YES YES THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
I'm happy these are being so well received... sometimes I think mid drawing that they might be too creepy, but then you all seem super excited about it all, so let the madness continue!
I feel like Tim Burton's style is so easy for me, because his tendency to use scratchy lines, squiggles, and messy shading are just how I do all my sketches anyways ^-^
And I find it infinitely entertaining how many different words have sprung up to describe Tim Burton's style on this forum:
...burtonssssonas... Burtonesques...The Burton...Burtonese...ol-Burty...Burton-esque...Tim-Burton-ified...The Burton...the Burton Bug...Burton-y...
And for a note: I'm not going in any particular order with these, just whichever way inspiration takes me. So there is no "first" or "last" on my list of drawings to do, so don't feel bad if you haven't seen your's yet :D

And finally I got three absolutely free days for nothing but drawing.

Well this is going to pale in comparison to recent art, but I finally finished my art trade with Unlos. Sorry it took so long! This was the thought process: Hmmm, apples, apples. How do you get apples off the really high branches? *remembers when her brother and father decided to use a bow and arrow to get a frisbee out of a tree* Yeah, that could work. So now your sona has the impractical and silly apple picker arrow to shoot at those really high branches. ;D

Nah, I wouldn't force someone to do an art trade like that. It's part of an effort to draw all the 'sonas - I did months ago when there were fewer people. But if you want to draw a mini-portrait of my 'sona, I'm not discouraging you... :)

I can't believe you're actually still keeping up with the whole draw-everyone thing, I salute thee O:
I've decided to not make any more inkywonky headshots and keep solely to art trades and random doodles instead... I'm feeling too obligated to too many things lately and can't keep up sorry^^"
North: that looks so cool and it doesn't seem like the scanner ruined the colours at all!!

Thank you!! (x3) You're welcome! (x2) ;D I'll accept the salute, but these actually hardly take me any effort to draw; I enjoy interpreting other people's characters. Although I did get pretty lazy with the expressions in the middle there where they're all just smiling at each other :P

A quick question; would anyone like to start an art trade with me? I've been a bit unmotivated in terms of art recently, and trades would be a great way to give me some inspiration/goals etc to help me improve, as well for me to actually contribute something to the forum because I haven't really done anything in a while.
Of course nobody is under any obligation to agree! I know I'm not quite up to the standards of other people and there are a lot of trades already taking place, so I'm perfectly happy to think of other things to do ;)
I'm going to have to wait a couple days before I can start anything, so if you want to trade pm me and I'll get back to you asap. Just a quick warning that I am quite busy at the moment with one thing and another, so it might take me a little while to complete requests (hopefully not too long, fingers crossed!)

Well success, because you made her look way cooler than she really is. ;) She just likes to pretend she's cool, which is just as good.

I think I should be finished with yours tomorrow, at least I hope so ^_^ we shall see

And again: I don't know what Gwenno's doing. But it's obviously related to the troll hunting somehow.

Also I drew this

Piney: As Haiz said, you deserve all the admiration for keeping up with all the ssssonas. I love seeing all of them in your style, they look so cute!
North: Now I really want to see more of your art, your style is really pretty!
Viola: I think your photoshop drawings are really cool! I like her hair and the way you colored her clothes, and the runes are cool too. The only thing that I think could be changed is the first drawing's resolution, it is a little granulated.

Just draw on a bigger canvas! I usually use upwards of 1000x1000 and save as a .png, not a .jpg/.jpeg, because jpg/jpeg compress the file and lose quality.
Post by: Daéa Reina on August 23, 2015, 12:02:32 PM

I'm not a expert, but I think it can be because of the format. You must have saved it as JPEG, which is the format with the lowest resolution. Perhaps if you save it as PNG the resolution will be better!
Or it can be that the drawing is small and you resized it, or the site resized it automatically, distorting the lines.
EDIT:
Ninja'd by Curry! :o

Still up for art trades.

I'd love to do an art trade with you (: Should I just PM you details?
I'm glad I got him down!
Nah, I wouldn't force someone to do an art trade like that. It's part of an effort to draw all the 'sonas - I did months ago when there were fewer people. But if you want to draw a mini-portrait of my 'sona, I'm not discouraging you... :)
I'll do that then :P Everything from the neck and up is within my comfort zone (which is part of why I'm finding these art-trades so valuable, it's a good way to do something I don't normally do :P Then again, I also don't normally draw a lot of girls either >_>)
Edit:
There, done:

I have to admit the expression was me guessing based on the picture in the infodump >_> Hopefully it's at least not too out of character >_>
Post by: Unlos on August 23, 2015, 02:37:02 PM
Well this is going to pale in comparison to recent art, but I finally finished my art trade with Unlos. Sorry it took so long! This was the thought process: Hmmm, apples, apples. How do you get apples off the really high branches? *remembers when her brother and father decided to use a bow and arrow to get a frisbee out of a tree* Yeah, that could work. So now your sona has the impractical and silly apple picker arrow to shoot at those really high branches. ;D

Wow, I didn't see this until now (work yesterday, and my phone doesn't display most of the art), so I haven't replied until now, but I love it! Such a great idea, most best apple picking method indeed! Thank you thank you!!

Why... yes, this surprises me even more than the times someone's made the Lauftroll look cute: a very non-cute Haiz. What magic happened here, how did you succeed in this... it's awesome, creepy and disturbing, I love these Burtonesques of yours!

Woooooooooow! Feartheviolas It's adorable!I'm going to echo everyone else, but these are absolutely gorgeous!!
(How much I've missed? What year is it?)
Well, it's time for a story. The story: I was a terrible person who does not keep promises.
I owe some art-trades, but this fact did not prevent me to disappear for a month.
And finally I got three absolutely free days for nothing but drawing.
It was really interesting and useful experience. Remind me please never do that again *convulsions*
Anyway: my work is finally done! Art-trades with Noodly Appendage, Daiseerose, Haiz, Ruth and Gwenno.Spoiler: show

Trinka? Any chance you could Burtonize my villainSSSSona someday? V!Sara Hallander is a perfect lady (of course) but rules her (extremely efficient) villain organization through a combination of sugary charm, management best practices, and ruthless manipulation and blackmail. She'd probably end up somewhat like Aunts Spiker and Sponge in "James and the Giant Peach" (though don't let me deprive your imagination of room to roam...)
Illustration of her management style starts around here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=537.msg60800#msg60800

Hmmm yes, I see what you mean. I will fix that! It was hard to translate the features perfectly from the picture on your infodump slide, which was all that I had to go by. Thank you for the link to your photo, it will be very useful. :P
As an idea for your main picture, how much would you mind if it had a Harry Potter theme? I'm not quite sure why I decided on that as a concept, but your clothing in the infodump picture reminded me of the Hogwarts uniforms. I don't know whether you like/have read and/or watched Harry Potter or not, so feel free to tell me if you don't like that idea :)

May I ask if you're drawing from both like, pictures of how we look, and our drawings of our SSSSonas? Is it either or? Or a combination of the two? HMMMMMMMMMM

It could be next week. It could be in a month from now. So once I get back to a regular schedule I will open up requests for drawing more.

After checking the Pinterest board I noticed that Unlos had made a super gorgeous picture of Iina (but I'm on my iPad and I have no idea how to work with computery stuff and link it from her imgur gallery? ) I felt like I had to give it a shot, so I drew her 'sona, along with Curry's and Piney's.
They don't look very similar to how they're supposed to look, but I guess I didn't mess it up as much as I thought I would?dont judge me I'm not an artistSpoiler: show
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!! I had a little bit of a crazy draw-everyone-thing going on, but each new drawing kind of took a little bit more time than the last (because they were so much fun to do!) that when work started up again the project was put on hold. And EEEEE, thank you for the drawing, I love it! Surprise drawings are a great treat:-)

Wow, this is super creative and looks amazing! What materials did you use? They're really effective ;)
Thanks! I used pencil to draw everything out first, then I did the background with watercolour. I outlined the sketch in brown and dark brown coloured pencil, then I used watercolour again to paint the torso, and to fill in some details. Then I coloured the eye holes with black pen. The writing is done with a dull coloured pencil (this is actually almost the same process I used for Trinka's as well)

Thank you! I assumed you used watercolour or maybe ink for the background, but wasn't sure about the torso and shading. Now you've clarified I can see it though :P You've used the pencil very well!

Do you mean the shading in lighter brown? Because you can see that with the picture in it's larger size, don't worry :)

No there are like hash marks on the darker brown. It looks a bit more scaly in person.

Hmm no, they don't really show up as much, I'm sorry. That's the problem with photographing traditional art; it never looks quite as good as in real life.

Yeah. That's why I'm trying to give all my art trades to the people that I made them for. I'm thinking once I get settled in my new place and actually have a proper address, I could mail them out.

That's a really good idea! Do you mind if I maybe copy it if I ever do an art trade traditionally? I use my tablet and my art supplies pretty much equally at the moment, so that's a real possibility...

EEEEE I GOT CURRIFIED (ºvº)
AND EVERYONE LOOKS SO FABULOUS ASLFKJSDKJHFJGSJJliUEFGYDHJSV< BN
OMG, I haven't checked this thread for ages, and almost missed these lovely drawings of all of the SSSSonas. They're fantastic!
Guys, please keep being so great at drawing 'sonas (especially mine as I have no art skills and any drawings of mine make me so freaking happy).
Thank you Piney and Curry for drawing my sona! I thought everyone had already forgotten about him :o
Oooh, wonderful stuff there! Thank you!
AAAA THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
EEEE! You drew me! Yay, thank you! (Your drawings make me realize that I really need to work on diversifying noses, because you draw such a cool variety!)Aaaaah thank you!! I've worked really hard to get variation into my faces over the years so I'm glad to see that it works :___3c
Omgeeeeeeeeee I was so not expecting this today. Like seriously I checked my phone and the email had like the same subject as the last one, and I was curious as to whether you drew them again, or if you just made a duplicate of the previous one in case we didn't see them XD
May I ask if you're drawing from both like, pictures of how we look, and our drawings of our SSSSonas? Is it either or? Or a combination of the two? HMMMMMMMMMM
:P
You do well at drawing, as always :) Thank you for being kind. Maybe I'll even learn to love my face eventually :P
I'm so glad you're happy!!! :D I actually use a combination of both if possible because then it lets me see what aspects of the drawings are parts of people's style and what's actually their faces, so then I can mix and match them to fit my style :) Like, for you, I used the pictures in the How Do You Look thread to get more of the jawline and general nose shape and your drawing for the eyes and the adorable eyelashes and a combination of both for the hair length and texture :0
Ah these are so pretty! Thank you! I should probably get more active on the forum again because everyone here is so nice? (Also everyone's such good artists why can't I d r a w...)ANYBODY CAN DRAW (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭
I liked your drawing of your sona! You've got a cool art style, especially in the eyes :D (also, you're welcome!!)
I think I'm gonna be echoing everyone else when I say that this is amazing!! everyone looks so good omg. i am very pleased with this growing trend of drawing everyone's ssssonas. yes. goodThank you!!! (DON'T WORRY I WOULD NEVER TAKE YOUR SON FROM YOU. JUST DRAW. INORDINATE AMOUNTS OF FANART
(also you draw vide so well aaaaahhhh i'm considering just somehow giving him to you so i can see more amazing art of him 0v0) (jk please don't take my son)
aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaa all of these are amazing and I'm also awed at your dedication... I'm a little scared by the fact that the way you drew Emil looks closer to irl emil than the way I drew himI will draw all the sonas..... Also, whoa, really?? :0 Maybe that's my True Special Power. drawing people recognizably without ever seeing their faces, oops
I was going off of your drawing though so you got it pretty spot on if that's the case :D
If only I had a facial structure like that :P Looks good, though, the hair is perfect :3Ehehe, oops, I was going off memory for a lot of these and my brain tends to fill in gaps in funky ways ๑•́ㅿ•̀๑) ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ
I'm glad the hair is on point though!! :D
*making inhuman noises again**inhuman noises intensify*
Yay arts!aaaaaaaaaaa dangit I messed up ___(:3/L)______ note to self: seriously don't go off of memory it will not end wellSpoiler: show
Let me repeat: ARTS!!
again,, ๑•́ㅿ•̀๑) ᔆᵒ ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ
Wow this is simply fantastic! Thanks!Eeee thank you (and you're welcome!)!! I really love your sona's design :)

And funny thing you mention the hair. Originally, I was trying to draw very curly hair, and I kinda sorta failed because as it turns out, I can't draw curly hair. But after looking at it a little bit more, I really liked it the way it was, and I kept it that way

It took me a while to clean up the sketch, but I've finally finished my art-trade with DarkRawen!

Nice :D And those wouldn't happen to be body-bags, right? (Bad pun is bad >_>). Anyways, I love it, from the; "God why me" expression to the background, to the pose that makes it clear that he's carrying a little too much or something a little too fragile :P Thanks (:

I'm working on your half of the trade, and I hope to get it done in a couple of days! I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but I have some coursework to finish for the start of school which will have to take priority :/

The background and details in the uniform are both amazing and the cookie really fits with Hanna's character - did you read the section of her bio on her love for biscuits/pastries, or is it a coincidence? Either way, this picture is fantastic :)

Hello! I've yet to manage to read all the way through the thread, but so far I have had a look at the character compilation as well as the first 15 pages of this thread. Everyone's characters were great to read about, but a few people who exceptionally stuck out to me, in a positive way, were the icelandic falconer, the finnish-estonian(?) stamp maker/beekeeper and the accordion-troll. There were others as well of course and I might drop some favorable comments on them as I keep reading. :)
I thought I would share my meager attempt with you. She was originally supposed to be an OC, then she became more like a self-insert during character design.
A couple further words: Her clothes are inspired by estonian national clothing, but heavily simplified to be more suitable for day-to-day wear. She has another set with all the little frills and embroidery set aside for special occasions.
(http://i.imgur.com/QqzmUA3.png)
Age: -
Name: Airi Viiding
Nationality: Finnish-Estonian
Area of birth: Saimaa
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Civilian herbalist
Languages: :estonia: :finland: and a tiny bit of :sweden:
Airi is part-estonian from both lineages, with the main bulk of her non-finnish ancestry being comprised of the descendants of Helsinki’s immigrants, post-rash refugees and one seaman in the form of her paternal great-grandfather. She has four living siblings in total, however only the very youngest of them – Asko – is still residing in her home village. Airi’s sister married off to another settlement whilst her older half-brothers left with some others to prepare Gogland for permanent settlement and have yet to return.
Airi is a devout worshipper of both finnish nature spirits and the estonian pagan god of Taara. She does her best to, within reason, keep the songs and traditions of her people alive for the future generations and dreams of someday seeing Tallinn – even if from afar. Her family used to own some Old World books, as well as the memoirs of her seafaring great-grandfather, but those were all sold to a traveling danishman when she’d been a little girl.
Her main role in the community is that of a healer. Although more knowledgeable of pharmaceutical medicines than an average person she is one of those people who strongly prefer „natural“ remedies for non-life threatening ailments. Her backyard is filled to the brim with herbs and the occasional cucumber plants, which she diligently takes care of during the summer. At winter, however, the woman dons a pair of skis and a rifle, joining the scouts in locating and eliminating any beasts who might’ve wandered too close to their home.
The finnish side of her ancestry gives Airi some meager affinity with spells, which she uses to it’s fullest potential when healing or warding her home. However, despite this, she is definitely not a proper mage.
More sketches of her: Click (http://i.imgur.com/eSmNm8K.png) Airi's preferred method of dealing with injuries*, her winter clothes and a ski-chase after a rabbit-beast across frozen Saimaa.

HOLY WOW
WHY IS THIS SO PERFECT?!?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEART?!
yes yes this pleases me greatly, everything is 100% perfect. Love her face, the skribly hair, ADORABLE little bat wings on her hat, and can we all acknowledge how ON POINT Swagger is? I was expecting some sassy little weirdly adorable creepy thing sitting on her shoulder, then you went in an aweaome 180° direction and incorporated him into THE COMPOSITION?!
Yes. Yes. All the yes.
Have I mentioned yet that the skribbly black shading he does is my favorite technique of Burton's, because it is just so fun and easy and pleasant to look at?
Because it is.
And I love it here.
So yeah
I'm just gonna lay here for a while and attempt to compose myself again.

I'm sorry it's only a head shot instead of full body; I wanted to try out a different style and wasn't sure how long it would take.
As I mentioned before, the reason for the Harry Potter uniform is that it was the first thing I thought of when I saw your 'sonas outfit on your infodump slide. I thought Madeline would fit well in Gryffindor :P I hope you like it!

Personally I would put myself in Ravenclaw, but Madeline's a bit braver than I am so Gryffindor would probably be a better fit for her.

I'm sorry it's only a head shot instead of full body; I wanted to try out a different style and wasn't sure how long it would take.
As I mentioned before, the reason for the Harry Potter uniform is that it was the first thing I thought of when I saw your 'sonas outfit on your infodump slide. I thought Madeline would fit well in Gryffindor :P I hope you like it!
she seems to be channelling Hermione Granger. oops
Yay! :D

New 'Sona Prompt: PARTY/GALA!!
Break out the party hats, cake, confetti, shenanigans, gowns, suits, whatever screams party when you see it :D If you can draw, DRAW! If you can write, WRITE! If you can party (AND I KNOW YOU CAN), PARTY!
So sorry about the short notice, but the best parties go on for days, soooo ;)

I wouldn't say impossible, we could just plop them all together on a plain white background and they'd basically be partying together. That's not hard to do, and apparently the "party" is going to last a few days anyway. (Unless you mean ALL the 'sonas, because that would totally never happen)

This is where imagination steps in to improve on reality. Personally, I am picturing all the 'sonas in this video, doing their things (synchronized flamethrower display? parkour? cat training?) in place of skateboarding, samba parades, wheelchair athletics, etc. And everyone else on the Forum who doesn't have a 'sona, for good measure.

That works if everyone draws their own ssssona (like the art collab). It's basically impossible for one or a few people to draw more than a few of them.

I'm all for a group picture though.

Yeah, I was speaking along the lines of Almond-Goddess's art collab, just with minimal background. I might be up for putting the picture together if I'm not super-busy on Thursday/Friday/Saturday/whenever people are done.

Thank you!
Eeeee! It came out really nice! And I pretty much am a lot like Hermione so that is not a bad thing. Personally I would put myself in Ravenclaw, but Madeline's a bit braver than I am so Gryffindor would probably be a better fit for her.Not to mention my cousin believes I would fit in Slytherin so who really even knows
Yay! :D
I'm so glad you like it! I did consider Ravenclaw for a while actually - so close but yet so far. Madeline seems intelligent, but all that running around in the Silent World must mean she's pretty brave as well, right?. Hogwarts houses are tricky business, as you can see ;)
Well, I've got to get started on DarkRawen's picture now, but if anyone else wants to organise a trade in advance feel free to PM me!

yeah, it's for a brand called:
(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=67172163)
They cater to women, and have a variety of home furnishings, fashion, and doo-dads in their stores. It's a weird but lovely a cross between a high scale boutique and an earthy hippy-den. Has a very boho-shic, crafty-hipster sense of style. They have some really stunning and creative window displays!

Ok I hate to break the PARTYING MOOD, but since landing a job at Morgunblaðið (and making it to the Big City) Gudrun has been investigating the string of cover-ups that the Icelandic government has been trying to keep a secret for the purposes of national security. Now Sóley's mysterious past is getting uncomfortable scrutiny. What could these top secret files be hiding????
I don't know, ask Viola.

First an apology, I haven't been particularly active on this forum or thread recently. There were perfectly legitimate and demanding circumstances that caused this, but it still galls me that I promised to finish my art trades by a certain point and I wasn't able to follow though with this. I can't even say I'll be more active from now on, because things are changing and at the moment I have so little idea what the next day will bring, and I really won't for a while :/ I think it will be good though ^_^

These are both amazing! I love how varied you can make the positions of the characters, and how loose and fluid your art style is
DarkRawen: If you were wondering - don't worry, I haven't forgotten about our art trade, and I'm sorry it's been so long ;A; I'm hoping to have it done by Sunday!
Here are the obligatory 2 min sketches of your character so get a hang of the facial features; if you see anything wrong, just say (and I know there are some massive issues with the uniform, but I was just concentrating on the face for these :P)

Post by: Gwenno on September 04, 2015, 08:42:37 PM
Gwenno, that forest is so lovely, it's a very very beautiful composition. My favourite things: The folds on her pants, the earth/dry leaves beside the stram, and the moss-grown root of that fallen tree. Good look with exciting and interesting times!Thank you very much, the mossy tree roots are my favourite as well ^_^
Are you re-starting the "Maybe I should draw everyone, how hard can it be" thing again? I think these new pictures are pretty great, they're different from the other ones, but you get to appreciate the lineart more here, and you get to see that the anatomy in more detail (hands, for one, they're such tricky things!)
This is beautiful! The colours and detail are amazingThanks, I'm actually much happier with the colours on my phone camera, they actually look pretty much exactly the same as they do in real life ;D
Impressive work on the forest, the stroke style is very watercolour-y.A watercolour-y stroke style, how strange :P Now how on earth did that happen........ (thank you)
GWENNO THAT LOOKS FABULOUSAaaaaw, thank you ^_^
Your party picture is looking pretty awesome too, and as for"shoddy" anatomy you've definitely got a way better grasp on it than I have even drawing quick pictures, and it's looking lovely :)
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS but i finally have an art trade to show!What is this madness? An art trade you say, and a Haiz one at that? Why I haven't seen one of those since the first year of the forum's life :o ah, twas a good time, those golden days of yore....

*ahem*, anyway I love how the hair and the scrolls are all getting mixed up together in the mess, and her happy mildly surprised expression :3
Well it's a bit late, but I decided to join the party. This is supposed to be a bunad in forum colours, but apologies to actual Norwegians if there's something major wrong :P
So, uh, party.....?

These are both amazing! I love how varied you can make the positions of the characters, and how loose and fluid your art style isand also how do you draw hands so well HOW
Thank you! These are all done with reference photos where I paid special attention to the hands instead of going eh, they are here somewhere, and I'm pretty pleased with them myself :-)
Thank you very much, the mossy tree roots are my favourite as well ^_^

(snp)
N-no, but I might have a "how many ssssonas will I manage to draw this week" thing going on, as I'm using up my last bit of vacation for a breather home alone. During the past months I have managed to draw 50 of the ssssonas full body (counting the art-trades), and eight headshots. Theoretically, only 30 people left disregarding any newcomers (And danskjavler doesn't have a description of what he looks like at all, so that one is a bit tricky). But as you say, the style has changed quite a lot, so a here's everyone in a consistent style I don't think I will ever reach. It will be more like 'Now I've drawn mostly everyone, but I need to redraw that one- and that one- and..:
You seem to be getting more comfortable using digital techniques, too? I like your partygoing Gwenno! And the bunad is lovely, no apologies needed

Getting her hair tangled in the scrolls (and pretty much everything) is definitely canon ^^ I'm really happy that you drew her eyes droopy, because they're supposed to be, but they never turn out like I want ^^'

I wonder if we will ever run across said traveling Dane in our travels, hmmm?
Actually, no, I assume this wouldn't be Mikkel, else he'd be able to understand Finnish. Still, it is enticing.

Very classy, Gwenno. Is that your plus one? ;)What can I say, for some people classiness comes naturally, (see, there isn't even troll blood on the clothes!) and why yes, a most excellent plus one, he may be a bit on the lethargic side these days, but he never complains about my terrible jokes, and he'll make a great seat for a few days yet before the stink gets too bad :P
N-no, but I might have a "how many ssssonas will I manage to draw this week" thing going on, as I'm using up my last bit of vacation for a breather home alone. During the past months I have managed to draw 50 of the ssssonas full body (counting the art-trades), and eight headshots.Take your break, I think you've earned it, and art is always better when you're doing it for fun ^_^
You seem to be getting more comfortable using digital techniques, too? I like your partygoing Gwenno! And the bunad is lovely, no apologies needed(The bunad police might get you, though. They are a thing)
Digital actually is getting easier, this one took maybe 2 hours? Last time I did a similar picture it was easily 3-4 so yayyyyy practice ;D
oooh, nice! very Gwenno, but I also like how the hair looks very Norwegian Fairytale Princess, too!Thanks, but actually, that's just what it looks like when I don't braid it (maybe a tad darker depending on the lighting) >"< it ridiculously long, and I still have a problem with old ladies coming up and petting it randomly (one of the reasons why it's so often tied up). I kinda get it when I was little, but now it's getting a little bit strange......
For reference my mum decided to take a picture of my hair at graduation without me noticing ???
Spoiler: show
Hah wow, I swear I had a doll with an outfit when I was little (not quite that squirrel-y and adorable mind) :P I'm pretty sure the dictionary people wouldn't object to putting this next to the word "adorable" in the next edition....*Mimmi saunters in fashionably late to the 1st anniversary party*

Karri confirmed as the fab cousin. They look like a rock star who skipped their show just to attend the party. Very impressive work with the watercolors, especially considering the paper did not cooperate! (Did you paint around those tiny shiny spots? They are awesome)
Darkrawen, I like your version of Klarissa. The people in your drawings strikes me as really pretty.
Haiz, can I just shower your work in appreciative sparkles? I'm out of words :-)
Take your break, I think you've earned it, and art is always better when you're doing it for fun ^_^
Digital actually is getting easier, this one took maybe 2 hours? Last time I did a similar picture it was easily 3-4 so yayyyyy practice ;DWait, bunad police :o why has nobody warned me about this before *quickly checks the windows and doors*
Thank you, Gwenno! Don't worry, I draw exactly how much I want to and no more. When drawing starts to feel like a chore, I take a break, which is why the parkour trend came to a sudden stop this summer. I had gotten as far as Elrew, but then work started and it's been on the shelf since. I had forgotten about it until now, but I don't think I'll color this one.
So here's Elisabeth (Elrew), Kjeks and Antillanka. Kjeks is a beast tamer but after poor spider-dog her newly trained beast is a more old-fashioned one. If Hannu can do it, so can Kjeks! Antillanka is doing mystical mechanical stuff.

Thank you! :D I did paint around most of them, but touched them up with a white gel pen because my trash paper ended up bleeding into where I hadn't painted >:I Life advice: don't do watercolors on superthin sketchbook paper, You Shall Regret It

Thank you!! Yes to drawing trees. I love this one, the bark and texture is really well done, perfect for leaning against. I think I'm spotting a falling apple, and hope this means I will have an epiphany on how to organize the expeditions, or better yet, find a cure for the rash.

This was challenging because I'm not used to drawing more masculine figures, and so I had to experiment. I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out, but it's a lot better than previous attempts (I even used a reference picture! Look at me, being all arty :P)

Ana Nymus, nice work! Very artsy, reference pictures are a good thing to have.
Here's the (probably) last ssssona for now, as today is the last day of vacation. Next week I will be on a course in Bergen, and will only be on the forum from my phone.
This is for Jesty, Alice is probably a few years older here, and has learned how hard it can be.
Upper body stance shamelessly stolen from Lee Christmas AKA Jason Statham in The Expendables. But the position of the legs I had to figure out myself to get something that looked natural as the picture only showed the torso. I think it turned out pretty well! That right hand - I redrew that hand at least three times, but everytime it turned out teeny-tiny in proportion to the rest of the body. Finally I just expanded it the lazy way, by clicking and dragging.

This is so badass-looking, it would fit right in on an action movie poster! The pose is amazing, and good on you for using a reference. It took me a while to realise that I could actually use those to improve without being embarrassed, and neglecting that can sometimes take a toll on how well proportions look, I think ;)

That right hand - I redrew that hand at least three times, but everytime it turned out teeny-tiny in proportion to the rest of the body. Finally I just expanded it the lazy way, by clicking and dragging.

This is for Jesty, Alice is probably a few years older here, and has learned how hard it can be.

Krita is good for colouring, but I don't like it for lineart. For that I think SAI is a lot better, it has crisp brushes and also smoothing.

Points to this! Firealpaca and Sai are fantastic for lineart. It's very very hard to make messy lineart in those if you put in a little effort and jack the stabilizer/smoother up. v_v That said your lineart is SUPER ADORABLE and really clean and what lovely thin lines, huuuuuuu (≧◡≦) ♡

Yes how do you do itteach me senpai
Thank you! EEEE you called me senpai :D EEEE! I don't feel like one, but will try to give a boring lecture: Starting to draw from reference photos has taught me a lot! It really helps understanding human anatomy (except when the picture is like this one (http://www.canstockphoto.com/girl-sleeping-in-arm-chair-8496854.html). I wanted to copy that pose because initially it looked really cool. Then I got to her calf, that just kept on going and going - if that is not someone being quite creative in photoshop, I don't know what is) I skip between trying to understand how the limbs are positioned, to just looking at the spaces between limbs, to get the pose the way it is in the reference. If something is off, that is sometimes the easiest way to spot it! It might help also that because of my work (I am a radiologist) I know Every Single Bone in the body (exepting the myriad of sesamoid bones that vary a lot) It helps to imagine where they go when I copy hands?
*GASP* THIS is so awesome! I love how you drew Alice! Her pose, her expression, the hands....most best! Myyaa I love it all! Just so happy you drew her x3
Thank you!

I finally finished DarkRawen's art trade! ...Just way, way too late - I'm so sorry! This is actually not even my first attempt at the drawing, because I wasn't happy with my first version so I scrapped it. Anyway...
Hans Sebastian Really Hates Paperwork
(http://i.imgur.com/Mp8MV1V.jpg)
ugh the lighting really makes it look bad
I'm just going to say this now: I actually really enjoy watercolour, and feel it's one of the few mediums that I have acquired some level of skill in. What I didn't take into account was how different colouring portraits is compared to say, landscape or still life. Soooo, I've learnt something, and really need to work on using watercolour for portraits. That is all.
*EDIT: I lowered the contrast a bit to make it look better*

And I thought I wouldn't make any more ssssonas before leaving for Bergen tomorrow evening. I was wrong.
Karna is "able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime".
(Well, an armchair is perhaps not a very unorthodox place to fall asleep. Buut I couldn't think of anything else when I did it oh wait of no
Facepalm! I realize as I'm typing it should have been a tree! Of course it should have been a tree. Ngh. I Will not be able to not go back and tailor that armchair into a tree)
(http://i.imgur.com/FwmNulz.png)
googling "sleeping in armchair", I only found either pretty boring poses or horribly photoshopped ones (http://www.canstockphoto.com/girl-sleeping-in-arm-chair-8496854.html), so this one is all my own! Hand-drawing has improved :)

KauniitaUnia: Poor Hans Sebastian, he gets all the newbie boring jobs! His skin definitely looks better with the lowered contrast, althoug I like the effect of the paper on the high-contrast one.

Name: Ari Gunnarson
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Nationality: Icelandic
Profession: Mage
Languages: Icelandic
Immune?: Yes
☆ Immune, as his parents are also both immune.
☆ His mother is a mage, though his father is a farmer and they've settled down together on his farm.Probably surrounded by sheep. Seriously though, sheep are super.
☆ Graduated recently.
☆ Tries to look on the bright side of things, but that.. doesn't always work out. He can be quite shy as well, but is outgoing around people he's familiar with.
[ Maybe I'll edit this later with more stuff, haha. Not much on my mind for history type stuff right now. ;v;" Also, with colored pictures... ]
I tried to use parts from the Icelandic mage outfit shown on the info page, but it's pretty stylized.

Hi hello welcome fellow Icelandic mage! Enjoy your stay.
Thanks!
Also, I colored, but not a separate drawing, as I am lazy and I have to make up algebra work. Might change that blue around later, but it's okay for now. His eyes are brown, also.

FFFf yeah he's probably as good as eaten. And it looks like Lauftroll got to someone else first. This mission is a disaster.

*proud ninja moment* I'm good at sneaking up on people and surprise attacks, yes.
And isn't it seriously fun to draw trolls?! I know the feeling so well! I had the best time of my life when I was first designing the Lauf and every time I draw it it's just... so relaxing. I don't even know why. Anyway, somehow hearing that it's also fun for others to draw the Lauf makes me really happy! :-*

Considering the bunch of weirdos on this expedition, I would say it's still a valid concern. ;p As Curry says, it looks like 7 with it as "official" occupation (with varying degrees of experience). (Eight, if Von is included as well, for her secondary skill, yes?). I... might be taking notes on how many/who Because of Reasons....
"No. Nothing here..."

(Also, can't wait for this Halloween trend Curry mentioned, Halloween is my very favourite holiday :D )
Fimby, it appears you are now an even more ridiculously old person, many congratulations on surviving this far, and please continue to do so with marvellous style! aaaaaaand, it looks like we share a birthday? Must be something about that day that makes you pre-disposed to troll hunting I guess :P Que awesome viking birthday party pre-expedition (I'm also really tempted to draw a weaponised birthday cake.......)
Regarding what to do after the expeditions, maybe settle down in the city and get a nice quiet job as a skald, away from all the dangerous trolls and.......

Pssst guys, happy birthdays are fine, but we also have a birthday thread for that so if you wouldn't mind taking the celebrations over there (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=249.90)?
Also does anyone object to me moving these happy birthdays over?
Fine by me!

Hey guys....you have to wonder: what would our 'sonas do after the expedition. Granted, most have jobs either military or private sector, but what about the ones who don't?
Either burp happily and crawl into a hibernation nest for the cold season, or try to hide in one of the vehicles in hopes of finding more food. The latter one has a huge chance of failure of course but the Lauf is not that smart, all it knows is that it can pack itself in a very small space if needed and be very, very quiet.

Also, not sure if that's a spear, a gun, or (knowing fimby) both.I know my weapon doodling skills are rather subpar, but it's supposed to be the same weapon as in this drawing (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=440.msg55640#msg55640). bayonets aren't that uncommon, are they?

Well hey, it's not like they're fish. And the Rash is infinitely adaptable.
Sorely tempted to post the "that how you get ants" macro in response to that... but seriously that's a terrible thing... I kinda figure that leviathans are larger than giants... and if that's the case teaching them to walk is something that could be considered a war-crime.
Hey guys....you have to wonder: what would our 'sonas do after the expedition. Granted, most have jobs either military or private sector, but what about the ones who don't?
Depends... Likely result, return to his work with guarding [redacted], however if he recovers a significant enough portion of his memory, he might take some vacation time, shang-hai a couple mages into helping him and "borrow" the largest communications tower in all the known world... or possibly involving grand theft cat-tank and heading out into Ukraine to mess around with the duga-3 array, to attempt to let his homeland know someone survived the recon expedition after all.

Belated birthday wishes to two of the most fun people in our expedition.
Ouch, cake to the faceHahah, unfortunately for you, your 'Sona is the most macho one there so it's especially funny for me to see him subject to slapstick :P If it makes you feel any better my head cannon for the picture is that he's holding some cake in his right hand and will hit Fimby with it in the next panel
Aw, this is really cute! <3Haha thank you ^_^ it's so fun to draw everyone having a good time
Amazing picture! Now that is a cake worthy of Odin's chosen warriors! And I can't believe I forgot to add 'blindfold' to the list of things you can use a shawl for.Hey now, if you were to make a full list of everything you can use a shawl for we'd be here all day. Shawls are very versatile things :P My martial arts teacher once hurt his leg and decided to teach us anyway while needing to use a walking stick, and I can confirm that they are already pretty deadly things >"< Having it further weaponised should frighten any troll!
Yeah, I'm positively ancient now; from now on I'll be weaponising my walking cane and rollator walkers :P I wish you too an absolutely splendid birthday (a day after the day)!
Oops forgot I had this one, although nothing new here since it was already delivered to recipient in time. But why not add it to the pile since there now seems to be one! :Dphhhht!

Or they learned it. I have a troll idea that involves one that broadcasts to other rash-creatures, teaching them stuff at long distances. Imagine if it told the whale-beasts how to grow legs. We'd need a bigger tank.

They often share same interest in love, but none of them dares to take a step, so they both are always single. Still Riika is more successful, she at least tries to talk, usually end up with person, who speaks a language she does not (Icelandic) xD
also they are pretty competitive people, especially with each other.

Post by: Keeper on September 26, 2015, 01:25:10 PM
I tried to make a more accurate sketch of my sona, including the weapons she carries and a better look at the dress. So she's got a knife on each hip, a sword on one, and a small pistol on the other. The dress is pretty simple, but the belt is actually just sewn onto the sides, so it is just tight enough to stuff the weapons into and keep them there while moving (with semi-frequent adjustments). Otherwise nothing new.
Edit: I'm not sure what's going on with the picture; I see it fine, but others don't? Maybe it has to do with Google Photos?

Bu the way, I remembered I have one too *Hi, Lis, honey! Long time no see!!* She had a weird dream the other night, one of those her mother told her to never talk about if she wanted to be taken seriously in life. She was walking in a beach (it looked vaguely familiar, like some place she used to know), cold and stormy, but it was all right, because she likes rain. And she was wearing a thick feather cape. She felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't put her finger on what. Therefore the concerned face...

Haiz - Have you gotten an award for the most art trades yet and the most ridiculous dedication in actually completing them all? I think you should...... Willowham's picture looks a bit different from the usual stuff, almost like traditional art done using digital (not so great at describing things, but I like how it turned out, likewise the Trinka pic, the Mucha style is really pretty and suits her adorable 'sona really well and videovance looks waaaaay too cute sitting on that box :3 )

As we all know, Halloween is the best month[citation needed], and it has some of the most fun looks to create! Halloween costumes can be almost anything! Ghosts, the Wizard of Oz, pirates, clowns, fairies, the works! However, this thread is a bit more extravagant than that, so let's DITCH THE COSTUMES and go straight to what the costumes are imitating!!
The month-long October prompt is to make your SSSSona into a SUPER SPOOKY SONA that SCREAMS HALLOWEEN!! (Spooky spans the entire range from "Oh, they're a really shy ghost, how cute!" to right before "Wow, that's genuinely horrifying, and I'm going to have nightmares tonight!" so don't feel a need to horror it up if that's not your style! Halloween does not always equal horror :)))
REMINDER OF THE FORUM RULES:
☾ If the drawing contains blood/scariness/violence within what the canon SSSS comic has portrayed/contained, you do not need to put it under a spoiler! Spook (freely) away!
☾ If it does contain graphic gore or abject horror, it's prooobably not the best idea to post it outright. As Laufey has done in the past with her bloodiest watercolors, linking with a warning is a good alternative! Spook (measuredly) away!
☾ Fanfictions are AWESOME AND SO VERY WANTED but the same applies to them with gore level - if you go all out it's probably to give warning before somebody accidentally signs away their peace of mind for the next three weeks :P
NOW TO GET THIS STARTED!

(A more typical spooky example would be what the SSSS Art Museum is doing with the Näkki Lallis - monsters and poltergeists and ghouls, oh my! I will be making lots and lots of Spooky Karris, so keep a lookout on those! Now, GO AND HALLOWEENIFY YOURSELVES!!)

Do any of you think Halloween or a similar holiday would still be practiced in the silent world? I've heard Halloween isn't as much of a big deal outside the US really. It would be kinda ironic if it caught on after The Illness and all the REAL horror.
Then again I could see the "masks to confuse spirits" thing being popular if just for morale.
That said, would any of the ssssonas participate if it were a thing? Ilmari probably would if he were off duty, but it's not like he'd let it get in the way of his job. Might want some type of extra protection from evil spirits, and no one would be completely sure if it were serious or a joke. (I love Halloween. We might all need to share different seasonal words and phrases, but that would be in the language forum I guess :J)

Finns have an autumn celebration of their own already called Kekri. It's a celebration of the dead but f.ex. dressing up in costumes is not a part of it - but who knows, costume parties are fun and whenever you see people actually celebrating Halloween in Finland it tends to mean a drunken costume party
Finns do have some similar traditions to Halloween but they're centered around Easter, when children dress up as witches and their familiars and go from house to house, pretend to whip the house owners with decorated twigs and recite a spell for good luck for the following year. They get candy and sometimes small amounts of money and typically give each a decorated twig for each house they go to. This tradition originally comes from east Finland, Karelia, but has spread to the whole country because people do love to celebrate... so who knows, since Halloween has already made some kind of a mark it's entirely possible that it would be included in Kekri traditions somehow.
That said -

Like dressing up in a witch costume she could put together out of bits and baubles she had lying around, and haughtily informing anyone who asks about it from her disjointed knowledge of the archaic holiday.

I don't know about art trades personally (especially after dropping some writing (not trades but requests that i offered) way back). But this reminded me, I have been meaning to design mage!Ilmari and why not around Halloween? That said, either need to get out of a writing funk or greatly improve my drawing NOW. And study Finnish traditional clothing/mage apparel....Go for iit! If you want to try an art trade as well, just PM me :-)
*Still can't draw. Looks at Von. Sees her frowning and pointing Pratchett's I Shall Wear Midnight* Yeah. You're not very enthusiastic for that kind of thing, isn't it ?
..Does this mean you want Von all dressed up in witches midnight like ms Aching at the end of the book? Because I can always be bribed by squirrel cookies ;)
Viola, I forgot to comment on your really cool HrTYD version of Karri, they look so great! (Both Karri and the rest of your HtTYD series)

Maayyybe..
And are you open to new trades, or is your plate full? Because I'd love to do a trade with you! Birthday gifts does not count!
Unlos, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I already have a Burtonified SSSSona coming to you, or am I just super spacy and forgetting what trades I've gotten done ? (http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/ohnoes.gif)

Would someone like to do a sketch of my villain!SSSSona, Evil Sara Hallander? She rules the Alternaverse Thread with an iron fist in a (well-tailored) kid glove, starting here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=359.msg56902#msg56902

I'm afraid my art skills top off at "Hangman" level, so I can't return the favor in kind. But I can... um... write you a runo or a little fictionette featuring your self-insert, or something. Words, words, words....
(I'm secretly drawn to all the marvelous but oh-so-horrible Tim Burtonesque drawings. I picture my 'SSSSona as a combination of Aunts Spiker and Sponge from the movie "James and the Giant Peach," only even more ladylike, because she is nothing if not sugarcoated. Kind of Dolores Umbridge minus the kittycat fixation.)

..Does this mean you want Von all dressed up in witches midnight like ms Aching at the end of the book? Because I can always be bribed by squirrel cookies ;)It was more like considering what could happen and hearing Von answering "Do something for an old and strange event ? Wearing something black. Is that enough ? Because I had others things to do and in mind." (Which might be depress somewhere considering the atmosphere.) And I had always thought that "wear midnight" was a wonderful brainwave.
But you can play with this idea if you want.
Edit. Perfect irony : I just learned I'll have to "wear midnight" at the end of the month ^^

Until then all i can offer is this crappy doodle of fossegrim/strömkarl!Hanna to pass the time. from my research I'm pretty sure that the fossegrim are only male (hence the 'karl' in the Swedish name), but ohhh well. I just really like the folklore behind it okay. they are related to näcken/nøkken/etc which have suddenly become very popular, so you'll find a lot of similarities in the folklore.

Piru, Piru, Paäpiru
At the treeline he stood,
the Watcher in the Wood
He's up to no good, He's up to no good
the Watcher in the Wood
Piru, Piru, Paäpiru
His hair is of wild vines and leaves
Long fingers of oak, and his cloak
of raw hide and of the roughest weave
And with a wicked smile, he spoke:
Piru, Piru, Paäpiru
Good traveler, will you have a riddle?
Come now, I swear it is small and little
Though not one for the dumb or idle
Come now, I swear it's not a swindle!
Piru, Piru, Paäpiru
At the treeline he stood,
the Watcher in the Wood
He's up to no good, He's up to no good
the Watcher in the Wood
Nothing is darker than the forest after dark
for gone are the signs and landmarks,
And you hear the wolves howl and bark
And you see the eyes of the birch, HIS MARK
Piru, Piru, Paäpiru
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piru_(spirit) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piru_(spirit))
So. You know what creeps me out - the possibility of seeing someone, something, standing at the edge of the wood. 2spooky4me
Unlike my drawing, which fails to capture the sentiment I had in mind. Ah well.
Also, clearly - I have drawn perhaps too much on the Beast from Over the Garden Wall.

Have I ever said that Halloween is my favourite thing ever, I'm sure I must have done right? What you guys are producing is music to my soul and I love each and every piece ^_^ (even your "not actually a Halloween costume" costume skit Helia, it was super funny :3 ). So yeah to Curry, Haiz, Ana, Caliopygous, AquaAurion, KauniitaUnia, Antillanka, Keeper, and Vafhudur (also poem! It's cool did you write that?) thank you so much ^_^ I'm also loving reading up on all the folklore and stories behind your designs as well so please keep it coming.
I'll definitely contribute my own 'sona sometime this month once I decide what to do, and I think I may also do a *thing* involving everyone all spookied up for Halloween itself if I can :) although it will probably only involve the 'sonas posted up to a day or two before because time and other such bothersome stuff
If anyone would like me to draw their 'sona all spooky just let me know what you want and chances are I will (although probably without my usual backgrounds). Halloween only comes once a year after all, and seeing and drawing this kind of stuff makes me really happy. So yeah, pm or reply ;D
Oh and Daisieerose, don't worry I haven't forgotten about your art trade, it will pop up eventually I swear :P

Thank you for the nice words. And yes, I wrote that poem - though I do not pretend to any poetical skills. It was meant more as one of those creepy fairy tale formulas. It rhymes, but I am not sure it follows any other conventions.

If anyone would like me to draw their 'sona all spooky just let me know what you want and chances are I will (although probably without my usual backgrounds). Halloween only comes once a year after all, and seeing and drawing this kind of stuff makes me really happy. So yeah, pm or reply ;D
Well, since we already have a vampire, I wouldn't mind seeing your take on were!Ilmari if you'd like? Wolf or cat could both fit :J

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!!!!!!!
Have I ever said that Halloween is my favourite thing ever, I'm sure I must have done right? What you guys are producing is music to my soul and I love each and every piece ^_^ (even your "not actually a Halloween costume" costume skit Helia, it was super funny :3 ). So yeah to Curry, Haiz, Ana, Caliopygous, AquaAurion, KauniitaUnia, Antillanka, Keeper, and Vafhudur (also poem! It's cool did you write that?) thank you so much ^_^ I'm also loving reading up on all the folklore and stories behind your designs as well so please keep it coming.
I'll definitely contribute my own 'sona sometime this month once I decide what to do, and I think I may also do a *thing* involving everyone all spookied up for Halloween itself if I can :) although it will probably only involve the 'sonas posted up to a day or two before because time and other such bothersome stuff
If anyone would like me to draw their 'sona all spooky just let me know what you want and chances are I will (although probably without my usual backgrounds). Halloween only comes once a year after all, and seeing and drawing this kind of stuff makes me really happy. So yeah, pm or reply ;D
Oh and Daisieerose, don't worry I haven't forgotten about your art trade, it will pop up eventually I swear :P
Would love seeing Arbet become spooky. Well, spook-ier.

Well, since we already have a vampire, I wouldn't mind seeing your take on were!Ilmari if you'd like? Wolf or cat could both fit :JConsider it done :3 I'll start figuring out a design now and we'll see in a short while if I decide to go with cat or wolf....
Halloween prompt! A cross between a dryad and an angry entwife, because TREES!Treeeeeeees! Looks like you managed to get the rough barky texture and all, it's so very tree-like and almost looks like dancing to me as well :D And why yes, I can definitely see that branch being a perfect place for someone to sit on.........

Thank you! I really love the way you draw bark, I wish I could somehow incorporate that kind of texture in a digital painting. The drawing turned out more like the way I pictured it, but there are so many lovely textures out there so maybe I should go browse some more tutorials. :P

We' like to, but I don't think we can monopolise the Hulder. The Swedes will be really salty about it. You should read Asbjørnsen & Moe's collection of Norwegian folk tales.

Quick question: What is the general opinion/view/reaction to this kind of SSSSona?
SSSSona from an AU where a survivor from a country other than the Nordic states meets some other SSSSonas who are from the Known World as given by Minna. The surviving community would have ofc developed different strategies to survive/ways to live and thus look quite different from the communities in the original SSS-verse, hence not being immediately "recognizeable" as characters in a SSSS-ish-verse without context...
The AU is not fully set up yet (I'm slow at drawing and need to do more research) but I just want to know now if it'd be okay for me to post some of the drawings/plot bits in the future if one of the "SSSSonas" is from a different setting than the original SSSS-verse. Of course with context about the other surviving community and there are more people from the original SSSS-verse in that AU so it's not like it'd be only that completely different setting.
Haven't yet checked through all the pages here, just a few, so I haven't seen any SSSSonas from other communities but if there's a separate thread for these or not desired at all, please tell me, don't want to bother people (in the wrong thread). :)
Thank you~<3

Adding on to this: if you're going to do that, I would recommend, to not disturb the strings of canon too much, that your 'sona should either be from the East Coast of the American continent or somewhere from Northern Europe. Also, since these personas come from year 96, I also recommend that they come from the places suggested in the Survival Communities thread, like Scotland or Northern Russia. Or Canada or Maine. It basically has to be plausible in the SSSS comic universe.

Sadly, the surviving community is not located in any of these places. However, I am working really hard on making it plausible as to how that community survived, hence the amount of research I'm doing. The only "allowance" I gave myself was "a viable population size survives to year 90-something", the how will not be left to dumb luck. I anyway won't post anything from that specific SSSSona until I've got the solid basis for that other surviving community poured in armed concrete.
If people will deem it implausible, I won't mind leaving out that SSSSona/not post at all.
Changing the location of the surviving community is not something I want to do for various reasons (one being: plot becomes moot :'() and there's language jokes which would otherwise not really work ::)

Since you're calling this an AU it may be that it fits best in the Alternaverse (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=537.0)thread. That thread has an 'anything goes' policy. Not sure how it fits with your intentions though since the thread is also mostly self-contained.

It's kinda hard to "categorize" this story thing... I mean, the other surviving community is not part of the Known World but at the same time, I'm not trying to "break canon" as Ragnarok describes it in the opening post of the Alternaverse thread, I'm rather seeing this as an "expansion" of the canon... would you still call it an AU if the comic-relevant part of the universe is left virtually unchanged? I'm kind of calling it an AU for a lack of better word atm...
But thank you, will check out the Alternaverse in depth later on

Arbet's met quite a lot of southern-Germany-based people in his travels. The Alps are good for defense...
Anyway, as long as survival of those communities is plausible, go nuts. However, if Minna ends up sending the gang to that area, expect retcon.

(Those two did most of it, I kind of uselessly floated around)
Aki, I'll be honest, I'm not entirely clear as to what you mean to do with that idea- is it a fully-fledged AU or just a 'sona?
The SSSSonas (so far 6-7 people) are based on friends of mine and me, it's sort of an RP (without us actually ever really meeting up for an RP because I volunteered to design the designs/uniforms+settings etc. and I'm not quite done sticking my dear friends and I into uniforms/roles) within an extended SSSS world (SSSS AU if you want). It's basically based on the SSSS readers in our group going: "Oh god, what if WE were in the SSSS world?"* and things ensued, like choosing professions :P and me going: "You know what, I wanna see if I can keep our nationalities intact." - a stupid idea from which some plot ensued.
I say plot but it's also mostly just: "What would we do if we were doing what the crew is doing now?" - "Dying?" - "Besides that?" - "Derp." - "True. Derp it is. Let's draw that."
*we already have something similar going on as an (insider) original story but that's private
I thought it'd be nice if I/we could share some of the artworks and our ideas about what could happen / "scenes" and so on in a thread because they are fun and still SSSS-related in a way and wanted to know where I could do that because I've been told that that's not a thing that should happen in the regular art thread and should go somewhere in the PerSSSSonas threads. Hence me asking. Because if that's not a thing here, I won't bother with prepping things up for the forum and just keep it among my group of friends.
Anyway, as long as survival of those communities is plausible, go nuts. However, if Minna ends up sending the gang to that area, expect retcon.
If Minna were to send the gang there, I'd probably end up in a happiness coma and will see about the retcon when that brigde has to be crossed ^^''''

I see no problem with you using this thread because it is you and your friends in the SSSS universe and that's the definition of self-insert, after all! I'd love to see what you're doing! It sounds like a lot of fun :)
And Ragnarok, I really don't think there's a need for a separate thread since it's based around a couple people. In the beginning everybody was on different groups and expeditions (if they were on teams at all, which most people weren't) so it's not a big deal to have separate missions for different people, especially because they're a small section and there's only one person on the forum (so far?). This is a light-hearted thing and there's no reason to separate one person from the rest of the fun! :D
make sure to participate in the latest Halloweensona trend too ;3c

From what I can tell, this could work easily, so long as your group's journey didn't overlap with our random expedition. If they stay separate, set up a thread and post everything there. If they work with our ~50 'sonas, you don't even need to do that.
Even if it did overlap with the previously arranged expedition, it would still be completely welcome. There is no need to limit the sonas to only one story.
As for using a different thread, that is up to you Aki because it is your creation. If it fits well enough here, feel free to leave it, if you feel it could be its own thread then you can start a new one. Which ever you choose, if it turns out it would have been better the other way we can always split/merge the thread if needed.

SnipPokes my nose in to say that Koalalou, the co-founder of this thread along with Haiz, has her ssssona being a canadian scout being shipwrecked/blown across the sea to the coast of Norway. So I wouldn't worry, and I'd even say what you're planning and what you've been doing so far is exactly how this thread started ;)
Post by: ParanormalAndroid on October 07, 2015, 02:20:53 PM
[snip]Well, I don't really see any potential issues with it- it's a nice idea, and I'm sure it would fit in fine here. Thanks for the clarification, too.
I thought it'd be nice if I/we could share some of the artworks and our ideas about what could happen / "scenes" and so on in a thread because they are fun and still SSSS-related in a way and wanted to know where I could do that because I've been told that that's not a thing that should happen in the regular art thread and should go somewhere in the PerSSSSonas threads. Hence me asking. Because if that's not a thing here, I won't bother with prepping things up for the forum and just keep it among my group of friends.
[further snip]
Honestly, we have such a diverse range of backstories and projects here that I really don't see any potential issues.

Ohhhh wow. I can't believe I missed this whole discussion, but for all it's worth I think your idea is very interesting and I'm excited to see how it plays out. Now there are two separate 'story arcs' in our ssssona universe! I wonder if (read: hope) the expeditions will cross paths at some point - the resulting fiasco will be very fun indeed ;) I don't think it's too important to have a separate thread, as long as you don't mind differences in plotlines etc on this one. It's up to you as a creator, I suppose.
Your art is amazing by the way! The pencilwork and art style are fantastic ^^

Point of order, depending on the lore in question that's usually elves with the hole in the back. Huldre generally are just fae women with cow tails, generally a kind spirit that watched over your fire while you nap in exchange for some of your food, also some lore elaborates that if a guy marries one in a church the tail falls off and they turn into a loving and devoted, and depending on translations unattractive woman.

I've read some cow-tail stories too, that's about right! No prob about calling this a Norwegian elf Lauftroll instead, huldra just sounded a bit more compact (and in some stories they do have a hole in the back, or their backside looks rotten or like tree bark - but that's folk tales for you, they can blend or mix up different creatures).
Btw fun fact time again, Icelandic elves don't have anything that you could use to tell them apart from humans, they're just really, really beautiful and have everything just slightly better than us. Nicer clothes, astounding jewellery, better cattle, in today's lore it basically goes that their cars are fancier than yours.
The bad thing is that some of them like to use humans as playthings, f.ex. massacring whole families for Christmas sport. Even the ok-ish ones turn horrific if they're angry and they don't much care where their revenge hits. There a story of a woman who found a beautiful scarf and decided to keep it even when the owner - and elf lady - asked to have it back, so the elf drowned her sister, who had done absolutely nothing wrong. A happy elf can be friendly (unless the elf is happy because it just murdered your whole family and plans to spend the Christmas dancing in the now-empty, blood-splattered house) but even then all depends on if you made the right elf happy. If another one feels insulted or jealous, bye bye.
(http://i.imgur.com/AV3PGDo.jpg)in retrospect I probably should have asked Laufey first
AHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA BEST (and I feel a bit like trying to figure out how to make a Laufeytroll head for, uh, cosplay reasons)!!! No no no, no one needs to ask my permission for doing something awesome like this! ;D This is brilliant, and btw if someone ever does decide to dress up as the Lauf I'll be wanting photos.

While the idea is clearly best-idea-2015, I think it may be against Nordic Law to pose as a troll. Y'know, people might be ... well, scared. Panick-stricken even ... that was the point all along wasn't it.

Laufey - Anti-hulda is such a hilarious idea ;D and as usual is beautifully done. I'm also ridiculously happy that it inspired Unlos' video too. I was almost late for work this morning because I had to watch it again ::) (totally worth it!)
Aki - whuuuuuu? Your art is so beautiful! I can't wait to see what you come up with for your story, but please be sure to have some more pictures with it because *enthusiastically points at the beauty which is your drawing*
Noodly Appendage - wow, I would not have thought of that idea for a Halloween costume, but it's totally genius (*phhhhht*, that little "accordion noises" quote :P)
Curry - Okay, so both are kinda cute, but we all know that creepy antique dolls are really scary so..... haha, your costume idea was pretty great, now you can do all the cool costumes you want and it still counts as one ^_^ Does this mean you'll be doing more? (you'll totally do some more riiiiiiight? :) )
Petronella - Ooooh, wow, I can see you put a lot of effort into that! It looks really great, and I'm pretty sure there's no need to spoiler your lovely art ^_^ (If Ariel can run around in that seashell bikini and the movie is still a "u", I'm pretty sure that your picture is okay for the forum)
KauniitaUnia - Once again I thank inktober for giving artists the drive to do and post more art ^_^ Haha, I actually really like the ferns in this one, and effect of the feet in the water
Ragnarok - Nice story, but I really can't believe that Ana would ever abandon any books for whatever reason! Also, I refuse to believe that team 2 would be anything other than completely thorough and professional *affronted huff!*
HALLOWEEN TIME!!!!!
So as y'allz might recall I'm being totally lovely for one short month (enjoy it while it lasts) and drawing some of you peeps in Halloween mode :3 I've not gone though everyone who's asked for a picture yet, and I'm still more than happy to draw more people if they'd like me to, but for now here's what I've done
Kahli as a faun ^_^
I feel fauns are well known enough that I don't need an explanation, but Kahli can explain a bit herself if she'd like to add anything (also I'm such a mythology nerd, so just because I think it may be well known doesn't mean that it is)
(http://pre05.deviantart.net/8576/th/pre/i/2015/282/e/8/faun_kahli_by_mursen-d9cgmy6.jpg)
Para as a Tenome :o (the anatomy is slightly off on purpose to make it creepier, I swear it was intentional!)
A kind of Japanese ghost with no eyes in it's head, but ones in it's hands. The story I heard was that a blind beggar who was killed by bandits cursed his blindness and his hands which couldn't defend him as he lay dying, and came back bitter and twisted, with his curse having transformed him into this (and now he eats people I think?)
(http://pre02.deviantart.net/c395/th/pre/i/2015/282/c/8/tenome_para_by_mursen-d9cgn0p.jpg)
A werewolf Ilmari for princeofdoom
Yeeeeah, I'm pretty sure there's no need to explain this creature :P
(http://pre06.deviantart.net/7f2d/th/pre/i/2015/282/0/6/were_ilmari_by_mursen-d9cgn50.jpg)
And Ragnarok as a Draugen
The ghost of a man who died at sea. The draugen is a creature from Norwegian folklore and is responsible in turn for many more deaths at sea and beyond.... I put some blue colouring to the lips and fingers and some drowned ruddiness to the skin to try and convey that, and also he's controlling water.... erm, because of reasons, I'm sure it's a perfectly legit thing to do.....

Finished art-for-writing trade with Ana Nymus, finally. Daiseerose, you're next.

Yessss! I know I already said this in private, but this is awesome!! And Gwenno, Ana's self-preservation instinct is just slightly stronger than her save-the-books instinct. Barely. (she's probably beating herself up over it in the tank now) And I'm assuming she at least managed to save the half dozen books that were already in her bag, because there is no way she would ever leave that thing. :P
AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT STORY-FOR-ART TRADES ARE AWESOME A++ WOULD DO AGAIN. Seriously, it works out very well! If you're an artist who doesn't have a way with words or a writer who doesn't draw, then it's the perfect arrangement. Actually, if any writers wanted some art, I'd be totally up for another one of these! Regular art trades too!
And aaaaaa there are too many spooky sonas for me to comment on at this point, but rest assured that you're all doing a great job. I love this theme! ;D

(revised version here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8m563s3s05jrg6m/Laufeywithcredits.mp4?dl=0))
I really like Hannah as Fossegrimen. And the music you and Haiz are making should be something wondrous indeed.
Ragnarok, what a cool story-for art trade - If you want to, I'd like to do that kind of trade with you, too!

The whole world had gone mad, nightmares lurking in the darkest corners of ancient civilization and the flesh of the infected. There was only one thing to do, and Karri was up for the task ....
Fire could cleanse disease .... it could cleanse the earth ....
Perhaps it could cleanse people too ....?

Oooooh yes I love this SO MUCH?? That expression on Karri is my aesthetic, right there 83c Also, I'm loving how fall-festive-halloween those colors of the flames are. Makes me want to go outside and burn some leaves or something :D

Send me a PM so I can figure out how to write your 'sona. Anything special you want?

Extra, in case anyone was wondering what could have been, I thought I'd scan the concept sketches for Haiz's BurtonSSSSona, because the strangeness made me giggle while I was looking back through my sketchbook ;D

KauniitaUnia - Once again I thank inktober for giving artists the drive to do and post more art ^_^ Haha, I actually really like the ferns in this one, and effect of the feet in the water
So do I, so do I. I love October for several reasons, but inktober plays a big part in it. And thank you! I'm happy that the water effect worked ^^
Thank you :) I made a revised version where I threw in some extra pictures at the end because I suddenly remembered some drawings that absolutely had to go in there (Starfallz' Sigrun and Laufey together, among them) and added credits because credits were due. (revised version here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8m563s3s05jrg6m/Laufeywithcredits.mp4?dl=0))
I really like Hannah as Fossegrimen. And the music you and Haiz are making should be something wondrous indeed.
Oooooo, it's looking great! And thank you~ I agree, the music is probably pretty amazing. I mean magical creatures = magical music, right?
EDIT: how did I miss this
I'm still more than happy to draw more people if they'd like me toI'd love it if you could draw Hanna! Pleeeease?

Ragnarok: I... don't want to rain on your parade, but I don't think you know what inktober means^^" it's an ink drawing challenge, having nothing to do with halloween.
also a teeeeny correction on your avatar text - "the draugen" is reduntant, because the -en ending is what norwegians use as "the". Saying 'the draug' will be more correct ^______^
Trinka: that is AMAZING and EEEEEE BURTONIFIED HAIZ SKETCHES
(also i don't wanna sound mean or anything, but you're kinda misgendering Curry on your tumblr post of the art trade, and you don't have asks activated so I gotta tell you here, sorry! I just really wanna reblog it but I'd hope you could fix that first ^__^")

I had to do an Inktober drawing for today, and since Burton Karri doesn't count because I used watercolors on it, thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and contribute to the Halloween prompt! So here's Mimmi looking all sppooooOOOooky as a stereotypical Halloween witch, because I am a sucker for adorable mischievous magic users.
And cute hats. Also a sucker for hats.

Ahahahahahaha, I'm glad you like them, because I have about 23 more design ideas that I really really want to make.Please do :P there's plenty of time until Halloween and more designs are always welcome ^_^I just really like halloween ok
Also, I love the creatures you've chosen!! They all have such cool backstories and I can't help but be reminded of the pale man for Para and yesssss I'm such a sucker for water-related spooky ::) Good stuff!!! :D
Haha, I can only take credit for choosing Ragnarok's creature, the others were all requested by their owners, but I think they were pretty cool requests to draw :3
(http://pre12.deviantart.net/f796/th/pre/i/2015/282/2/2/let_it_burn_by_trinkasten-d9chr7h.jpg)Oh. Wow.

I would dearly love to have a Burton style drawing!
This will now become my inktober avatar.eeeeeek *.* no one has ever used any of my pictures as an avatar before >"< I'm so happy that you like it, and I guess it's my fault for the incorrect Norwegian :-\ sorry 'bout that. I blame the internet!!!!
Diolchdiolchdiolch (etc), Gwenno!Diolch yn fawr ;D I'm so glad you like it and it was such fun to draw! What a great idea for a spooky thing ^_^
Ffantasteg!
Ardderchog!
Adjectives!
But seriously, thanks- any sketches mean a lot to me for obvious reasons, but this one is very, very cool.
(Can anyone tell I rewatched Pan's Labyrinth recently?)
The other sketches are grêt too, especially the faun.
We need more spooks, I'd say draw all of them. Those designs are brilliant, though!
The Tenome is the actual inspiration for thatcreepyutterly terrifying thing. I rewatched Pan's Labyrinth recently, which reminded me of the Pale Man, reminding me of the Tenome, which reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth... Etc.
Also, blanket post to say that everyone's Halloween creations are great and extremely sp00ky.. Maybe we need an Infodump section to house them all for posterity?
I totally agree with getting some kind of Halloween info dump put together. Having all the pictures in one place would be really handy for me for *reasons*
Thank you :) I made a revised version where I threw in some extra pictures at the end because I suddenly remembered some drawings that absolutely had to go in there (Starfallz' Sigrun and Laufey together, among them) and added credits because credits were due. (revised version here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/8m563s3s05jrg6m/Laufeywithcredits.mp4?dl=0))Haha, I thought the first one was great, but it's nice to see a few more pictures added in, especially that Sigrun one :P
Gwennoo, I love your mythological ssssonas, and Brrrr, the Tenome is scary. Nice to learn the inspiration for that thing in Pans Labyrinth!
Also thank you ^_^ and yeah, I'm going to freak myself out so much continuing to do this.....
EDIT: how did I miss this I'd love it if you could draw Hanna! Pleeeease?Haha, okay then :P I'll pop that one in with the next batch of Halloween designs :3

These comics are things of beauty. The antics of swamp Haiz are great and always get a laugh out of me ^_^ I really hope that October will result in plenty more of them ;D that glamour tho, I could definitely do with some of that first thing in the morning.....

Una understood the importance of orchards in their new world more than anyone else. They were life givers, nurseries for the little ones that would feed the world.
But she had spent far too long nurturing her precious parcels to let anyone take them away from her.
She needed them .... And they needed her ....
They had told her themselves ....
~~~Mother of the Orchard~~~

1 more BurtonSSSSona down, Unlos was my willing victim this time. I hope you are all ok with me taking your SSSonas into a strange, slightly deranged direction, I feel it helps with the atmosphere and finding cool compositions for the pictures. I realized one of the reasons I like doing these so much is that they are so freeing: I literally scribbled a tree, and that's what makes it look so good. High value renderings don't let you be that expressive!

A snippet from the picture of Unlos' BurtonSSSSona, because I loved drawing this little worm too much to not let him get a chance at the spotlight.

and also *happy noises* Una's burtonSona looks amazing! I honestly wouldn't have been able to think of a way to turn that creepy, but you totally pulled it off and it looks fantastic! The worm definitely makes the whole picture however :P it steals the limelight in a rather unfair way.....
and now for
MORE HALLOWEEN DRAWS!
Only three this time, but that's all I've had for requests so far so next I'm going to actually get around and draw my own :P
The offer to draw people's 'sonas in spooky style still stands until the end of the month however so let me know if you'd like to get Halloween-ish ^_^
OrigamiOwl - Lyktekone
I'm taking some liberties here design and mythology-wise, but somehow the idea just seemed right. The Lyktemann/Lyktekone is the spirit of a person who drowned in a marsh or a lake. In some stories they lead people to deaths similar to their own, while in others they may lead you safely home, so basically it's a kind of will-o-the-wisp spirit. The outfit is based on traditional Danish clothes (since Owl's 'sona and the stories are from Denmark :) ), and I did a creepy thing with the lighting, can you see it...?
(http://pre14.deviantart.net/a63c/th/pre/i/2015/284/e/b/lyktemann___owl_by_mursen-d9cq1tg.jpg)
Melusine - Wearing midnight
The librarian is the keeper of stories. She minds the words. And they consume her......
Von was to wear midnight, but rather than drawing it all in black it's pretty much a mixup of every other colour disguised as black, because that's what midnight always seemed to me ^_^
(http://pre12.deviantart.net/5f6c/th/pre/i/2015/284/2/b/wearing_midnight_by_mursen-d9cq3yw.jpg)
KauniitaUnia - Fossegrim
I think we all know this one quite well already ^_^
(http://pre08.deviantart.net/f948/th/pre/i/2015/284/2/1/fossegrim___kauniitaunia_by_mursen-d9cq2q5.jpg)
I hope you guys like them!
Oh, and just for funzies I'll post some of the sketch pictures under a spoiler. I didn't do them for every picture, but for a few of them I was at work/on a train/stuck somewhere and had time to draw, so did some practice drawings before doing the real thing. Two of them were done without looking at any references of the 'sonas, can you guess which two?
Spoiler: show
Post by: Unlos on October 11, 2015, 02:50:57 PM
and now forLovely Halloween draws! The slightly mad expression of Owls Lyktekone (I knoow there's no female equivalent b-but lyktemann means literally Lamp-Man) is wonderfully done - she looks so sweet but do not trust! And don't look to close at the creepy lights, no preciousss..
MORE HALLOWEEN DRAWS!
I've been admiring the absolutely fantastic art Mad Robin has been posting lately, gah those backgrounds are SO GORGEOUS I've had a very serious case of wanting to learn that. So here's my art-fo-story art trade with Ragnarok, Arbet doing magic/sword stuff with a bit more background than what I usually do. Lights!

And don't look to close at the creepy lights, no preciousss..Haha, I figured it was wrong but seeing as my knowledge of Nordic languages is minimal to say the least I wasn't about the change it without someone who *actually* speaks the lingo to do it properly :) For what it's worth I've changed the original now, and thank you for the kind words ^_^

This brought back so many memories of when I used to play the violin, and although I still stuck at drawing hands I actually tried to get them all somewhat correct positions for it :P
Haha, and after quite a while of drawing other people for Halloween I've finally gotten around to designing something for myself :3 Obvious choice is obvious but the idea has been bubbling around the back of my head for such a while now it's nice to finally get it down on paper! So here it is
Valkyrie Gwenno!
A spirit of carnage and blood, and a servant of the god Odin, she watches over battles, deciding who will live and who will die, and bringing the worthy slain to Valhalla (but only after Freya gets first dibs of course :P )
(http://pre07.deviantart.net/c5d6/th/pre/i/2015/284/b/0/valkyrie_by_mursen-d9csy4w.jpg)

Sorry this isn't Halloweeny at all. It was more of an absent minded paint from the other day. I guess it serves as an updated version of my sona. Her hair is a bit longer and such, following my own. She still has the demon cats of course, they're just not pictured here. They're probably off

I don't know if I'll have time to do a halloweeny version due to Poor Neglected Responsibilities, but if anyone wants to draw Sóley eating people or something that is fine with me.

I'm just happy I know the difference... granted I've become something of a nightmare fuelstation attendant on one of the other forums I frequent, since I keep all kinds of screencaps regarding skinwalkers, wendigos and other weird things that go bump in the woods.. that and we had a lot of odd stuff that happened this summer on the forest I worke for. Unfortunately on that forum the distinction between skinwalker and wendigo has been blurred and skinwalker is used as a catchall for everything that does weird stuff in the woods.
You might be able to help on this one, defense from the supernatural, there's some stories that indicate something called "white ash" can defend or kill supernatural beings but it's been debated on a few forums and probably will be debated till someone blows up the sun whether it actually is indicating ash from a campfire, the tree white ash, or ash from a ritual fire... any thoughts or is that all a load of crock?
Anyway the halloween themed drawing I'm working on is not working out the way I want it.....I'm half tempted to skip to christmas since I have a decent idea for that one.

Yeah, I know a bit. When I started thinking about what would cause my Sona to become a Wendigo I kinda freaked myself out. It was freaky to think in the mind of someone becoming one. I kinda noped but decided to write about it anyway.
White ash. Hmm. . . Personally I would think the wood of a white ash tree would be what it's referring to.

See that's some of the logic behind it, but that species of ash tree isn't endemic to where stories indicate wendigos tended to roam, which is what inevitably leads to the debate over what is meant, then again because it isn't from those areas it also leads the question of "maybe because it's sorta exotic it might hold power over something"

Well if they hurt Wendigos then I don't think they'd roam near them. At least that's how I'd think of it. If something hurts/bothers me I'd not go near it.

Ana, that was a wonderful and inventively scary Halloween Karri, really nice! And the cat, so well done ;D
Dancingranger, I like the thing you did! (Needs to look up what a Wendigo is, and a skinwalker, because both concepts are new to me. Skinwalker sounds like someone borrowing someone elses skin, but we'll see what google tells me!)
Solokov, aww, sorry to hear the Halloween design isn't working out for you. But I'm looking forward to the christmas version! (If you want me to try to make up a Halloween version of Strelok, just PM me with any ideas you have. Like Gwenno, I am happy to play around with other ssssonas!)

Hi all *waves*Ah nice ^_^ Your watercoloring is really getting better all the time :3
Sorry this isn't Halloweeny at all. It was more of an absent minded paint from the other day. I guess it serves as an updated version of my sona. Her hair is a bit longer and such, following my own. She still has the demon cats of course, they're just not pictured here. They're probably offstealing Haiz's clothesmaking mischief somewhere ;)

I don't know if I'll have time to do a halloweeny version due to Poor Neglected Responsibilities, but if anyone wants to draw Sóley eating people or something that is fine with me.If no one else has volunteered already I'd be happy to do this for you, although it may turn out to be Sóley demon/zombie/goblin/monster/thing eating people :3No I have not been watching Hannibal what are you talking about
Curry and Unlos - haha, what a great combo ;D Curry's lineart was super cool and all, but I'm so happy to see it coloured too :3 Oh, and Curry, that's some super weirded freakiness for Ana's trade o_O it's downright unsettling, but also kinda pretty ^_^
DancingRanger - ah wow, that's very subtly creepy, with the gentle shading and the slight hint of claws it's done very nicely (goes on internet to do some research on this)
Ana Nymus - Waaaaaah! I was expecting something, but the whole thing doing that? 10 bonus creepy points for you! That's so completely the kind of feeling I was getting from Curry's Halloween design as well, but the way you've done it is fantastic. I especially like that one mask where the eyes open in the dark version

AAAAAAAA THIS IS SO CUTEI am glad you like them because here's another. :D I started with the hair this time, then going to the tail - yellow seemed a good color to go with red. After colourig that in, it was just a given what type of cat neko-Karri really is. Something at the back of my mind tells me that althoug this neko is super cute, you don't want them to remove their gloves. I had more trouble choosing dress colour than normally, so there's two versions. And I'm ptret-ty pleased with how the hair turned out on this, I am trying to discover more than the default brushes and for this I used the thick heavy brushes, which turned out really good for adding structure!

I had more trouble choosing dress colour than normally, so there's two versions. And I'm ptret-ty pleased with how the hair turned out on this, I am trying to discover more than the default brushes and for this I used the thick heavy brushes, which turned out really good for adding structure!

These just keep getting cuter and cuter ;w; I'm SUCH A FAN of this hair!! Also, what version of photoshop do you have?? I might be able to recommend some fun brushes to mess around with! :D

They are the birch switches (twigs and leaves) that are used to stimulate circulation and bring on a good sweat, also to lend a nice fragrance to the air. You...ah...flagellate yourself with them, lightly mind you. I used the Estonian word for Cliodna's character's benefit, as both she & Helle-Mai are Finns of Estonian background.

I can't tell who is in there anyway)
My offer to draw people all spooky still stands however so if you'd like something drawn let me know, and I could even draw a little dance page for those leftover :3 I'm a bit quicker at it now than I was at the start of this ;D (although I can't guarantee it would be ready by the end of Halloween in any timezone!)
I grinned like an idiot throughout the thing. It's wonderful and amazing and yes, so much yes. ;DThanks ^_^ making people grin like idiots is forever my goal :P
I love this....;D
Gwenno, this is fantastic! Good job!! :DThank you ^_^ and yeah, it did take a while, but it became quicker the more I drew which is good. I'm kinda using this whole self inserts thread as an excuse to binge-draw when I really want to improve on some aspect of my art :P (drawing all the 'sonas in individual poses all that time ago was pretty much the point where I started to understand how to draw people properly) and I learnt a lot of tricks here to make drawing digitally easier :)
I can't even imagine how much work you had to do this, but it was really worth it!
Gwenno, it is so lovely and funny, thank you so much for doing this! I think I recognize everone in there :DI can take no credit for what Imgr does, but I checked it out this morning and *wow* do I love it! Heheh, you finally got included in one of my silly draws at least :P (about time really). The floating head is videovance (at least if we're thinking about the same one, I think that's the only "floating head type thingie" in here...), it was one of Curry's spooky draws :3But that creepy imgur background - HOW DID YOU DO THAT? And feel I should know who that falling head belongs to, but I can't place him..
Seems Imgur is getting into the spirit of Halloween and making creepy backgrounds for everything..
Gwenno, that is absolutely fantastic! I'm just going to go ahead and stare at it for a couple more hours... *puts "Thriller" on a loop*Halloween spirit success! ;D *woooot!*
GWENNO that is... i think it's amazing, i only got to read the beginning (haiz is in it!! eee!!!) before my browser started acting up hahaaha ha...... and the imgur link wouldn't show anything to me. woops.Ah carp, I really don't know what else do do about that. I've downed the quality quite a lot but there's just so many of them and I'm not sure what else I can do :/ well at least you got to see some swamp Haiz (they're only in the first two pages anyway. Oh, and I guess kinda in the background playing Thriller with the band for the whole thing as well, but you can't see that......)

But I am so happy to be in another:-)
Halloween spirit success! ;D *woooot!*
There was a falling head in the imgur background, just to the left of the picture when you hovered your mouse there at the right time- some grimacing actor that I didn't recognize. When I refreshed the page, there was a floating tombstone, and today it a floating skeleton - thing.
And Keeper, I'm up for more art-trades! The coming week will be crazy busy for me, but after that II'd love to draw more! Does anyone else want to do an art trade with me? Pretty please?

I remember once when I was but a girl she came to our village, came with her flowers and her sunshine smile. Wondrous things glowing pale as the moon and blooming but for one day. They cured any ills she said, banished sickness and mended flesh. But we took none, for wherever she walked the plants withered and died and the sweet smell of death perfumed her being. She left at sunset, and for seven years nothing grew on the blackened ground she had walked upon, and none would dare step upon her mark. Upon the seventh anniversary of her passing we awoke to see her path blooming. White flowers grew, each blushing pale as the moon and sweet decay scented. The bloomed for but one day. At sunset someone died
Dunno, sometimes inspiration is weird....

Curry - I think my favourite thing about this one is actually the story attached ^_^ don't get me wrong, the piece is super pretty, especially the pretty snow and cold breath, but it's such a creative idea for a trade and I love that ;D
Keeper - that's a very realistic reading pose if ever I'd seen one :P I have definitely sat like that many times with book in hand as well
Sooooooooooo, erm I think this may be my record for taking the longest time to finish a trade o_O better late than never I guess? Two more trades to go, but at least I've started the productivity barrel rolling now :P
Anyhoo, this is for Daiseerose, who I got the impression from the info dump may actually be a competent medic. The poor injured soldier hopefully doesn't look too much like anyone's 'sonas because I was definitely trying to avoid that :/ but anyway, they'll be just fine with some bandages and bedrest I'm sure ^_^

(No need to spoiler for blood by the way, you're fine :) )
Thank you ^_^ I just love backgrounds, they're so fun to draw and are a great way of showing a story (at least for me they are, haha, my mind can't help but concoct the most elaborate stories when I do an art trade)
I know that comic level blood is okay, but there's a different between 'beautiful blood splattered Sigrun' blood and 'soldier writhing on the floor with a stomach wound' blood, so didn't want to inadvertently cause any upset :3 I'll unspoiler it now though, thanks for telling me ^-^

Sooooooooooo, erm I think this may be my record for taking the longest time to finish a trade o_O better late than never I guess? Two more trades to go, but at least I've started the productivity barrel rolling now :P
Anyhoo, this is for Daiseerose, who I got the impression from the info dump may actually be a competent medic. The poor injured soldier hopefully doesn't look too much like anyone's 'sonas because I was definitely trying to avoid that :/ but anyway, they'll be just fine with some bandages and bedrest I'm sure ^_^

I might be spamming this thread just a tiny bit, but you know what? I have no regrets! I realized belatedly that I had never drawn my sona in her dreamworld-mage getup, and with the introduction of the luontos, what better time could there be? Many thanks to everyone in the art critique thread for helping me fix it up: it's a lot more dramatic this way! So without further ado, I present Ana and her elkhound luonto!

Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry for disappearing for so long, but I just finished my exams and I'm still trying to get used to being online. I'm probably not going to be very active on here since I'm not good at keeping up with forums, but I may stop by ;v; I'm more active on my Tumblr.

North, welcome back! Your Haiz art is fantastic, including the rainbow hair -- I wish I could do that IRL but it probably won't play in a corporate office. Plus, it really brings out the androgynous aspect of their personality and appearance. (Because I regret to say that most of Haiz's real-life photos are *just darling* :D and I can see why they get called "young lady" a lot.)
Meanwhile, can I tempt you back over to the Alternaverse thread? In VillainSSSSona land, new developments could threaten Dr. North's work with her beloved monstrosities (or open up new frontiers for them, depending on the outcome of our Legions of Terror's push into the Teutonic League's lands...). https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=537.msg73709#msg73709

Gwenno, both your sweet harbinger of death-Halloween Sarah and Klarissa/Daiseerose look very good. As usual, I like the story that comes with the pictures. (Nasty looking break on the leg, and a pretty serious wound, too. I hope they still have antibiotics.
Curry, your drawing of Día in space is so lovely and lonely, and you've captured the feeling of deep deep cold very nicely. I especially like the effect of the frost crystals and the stars that look so similar. And monster Karris, wooo! The wraith looks like a ballet dancer standing like that, I bet the hair would look really impressive during a pirouette the hair is alwais impressive. But not just the hair, the poses and the expressions (spider-Karri!!) look so good!
Keeper, I think that pose looks very good, and I like the effects you've made with shading, both on Anas clothing and hair.
Ana Nymus, I love the dynamic poses you've been doing, and the experiments with digital coloring. The piece with the glowing luonto and dramatic lighting looks especially good, I think it's one of the best you've posted so far!
North, welcome back! Dreamworld Haiz looks great, and the canon on changing haircolor is a really neat idea. I know I won't be able to see rainbow color without thinking of Haiz!
Daéa Reina: Wow, that's a really beatiful Karri, and welcome to the land of digital coloring! It sure doesn't look like you're new to it, so the work that went into it really paid off :D
Fauna: Ahaha that is both really beautiful and really funny! Why indeed. Why would anyone go without an axe, even.

Madame Hällander liked things being in order in her organization. When people acted in the best interest of the team, they were rewarded.
When they did not .... regrettably, discipline must be doled out. She tried to be fair, she tried to teach them the proper ways.
But drastic acts call for drastic measures, and she can always rely on her right hand man to get the job done.
....
If only his methods weren't so .... messy ....

Thought I'd post this here too for your viewing pleasure! Finally got the BurtonSSSSona completed for the lovely and terrifying V!ssssona of our forum-mom, Ms. Sunflower. I hope I captured the way you've all imagined her in your minds, with just the right amount of class and horror. Because she truly terrifies me (http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/stare.gif)
I don't even want to know what she'll do to the poor sod who got blood all over her immaculate office.

I imagine her swinging the pole like a baseball bat - I imagine it would be extra effective on flap-flap trolls :P

I love that picture more than I can say. I have attempted a reply over on the Alternaverse thread. Thank you so much, Trinka! You may take your pick of all our newly Cleansed cities to have one to reign over. (Of course, no guarantee that mutant Rash-titans might not invade overnight...)

Gwenno, here's that birthday present I promised you a billion weeks ago! Finally got around to finishing it, sorry it's so late >_>Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I love this so much thankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!!!!! It's so cool Eeeeeeg, I got a lovely Piney draw and now I'm so happy :3 She would quite definitely do some baseball-esque swinging, especially if surprised by the flap-flap troll trying to do some skald-ing (and I'm pretty sure that team 2 would take any sports contest very seriously as Haiz mentioned) :P Yep yep, this is pretty great and most bestest ;D

(Of course, no guarantee that mutant Rash-titans might not invade overnight...)I saw your extended response on the Alternavers thread, and I would expect no less of you ;). I'm glad it met all your expectations, I tried to channel all the sickly-sweet creepiness that you have captured so well in her ^-^ And yay, I may not be the admiral of a sunken ship or ruler of a derelict airport, but at least I get a whole CITY instead, MUAHAAHAA!
And Gwenno: Thanks for the nice words, next up is your BurtonSSSSona ;)

I know it isn't plausible seeing as Scotland is gone, but I can't imagine any sport suiting team 2 better than shinty :P (poor blorp troll has woken up too many people early in the morning. There will be mo mercy this day.....)
And Gwenno: Thanks for the nice words, next up is your BurtonSSSSona ;)Eeeeeeeee! I am so excited for this :)) and as it just so happens you are now the last name on my art trade list so I can get working on it ^_^ Who knows, I may even get it done before Christmas......
Anyway, I've managed to finish one more art trade ;D This time for OrigamiOwl

also I definitely don't mind the self-insert bashing up my creation. i DO have a pet peeve when people act like blorptroll is everyone's property and some sort of forum maskot outsite of this thread (it hasn't happened in a while though, its popularity is finally dying down), but in here every 'sona is allowed to do whatever blorptroll shenanigans they like ^__^

YUSH, AWESOMESAUCE! Glad to hear you like it so much! Have to admit, halfway through I'd stop and think "is this excessive? too much blood?", and then I'd remember your gung-ho attitude and was all "nah, I'm sure it'll be fine", so I'm stoked to hear I was right! Finding the right composition for it actually faught me more than any other one has for some reason, but I'm happy with the one I settled on ^-^ And I think you're plenty coherent: I can positively sense your excitement vibrating out of my screen :))

My hand slipped and I made a quick redraw of the first panel of page 425 (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=425) because certain characters could fit in it so easily.
Disclaimer: Haiz is probably not going to become a melee weapon this time, it's just good to have a mage when troll hunting. Even a slightly unhappy one.

Oooor you could just wake up the whole house by laughing, it's always an option! :D

It's very logical if you think about it. Check where the mage does not want to go, that's where the troll is (a bit like with the cat really).

I did an art trade/swap with Gwenno! I have never done one before that I can remember... Or at least a formal-ly one. :3I've aready said this in the PM, but thank you so much for producing this awesomeness :D It is shiny and marvellous and I love it!

Keeper - Oh wow, that's a very realistic looking portrait! The shading is very naturally done and the hair looks wonderfully soft and bouncy :3
Blart - ...... yeeeeeah, I'm not even surprised to see this framed. It's pretty much a piece of history by now, and this is the closest we're going to get to displaying it in a museum ::)
Helia - Ah, your lineart is so tidy and perfect. Not a line wasted anywhere. Also I like that cat, it is a very good cat!
Unlos - Okay, it's kinda weird, but my favourite thing here is that tree in the background, it just has the perfect rough tree-ish ness that I like(also I like trees, it's a thing I'm sure everyone is aware of by now). The rest is pretty great too of course, especially the way the cloak is sitting on her shoulders, and how the light reflects on the sword :3 Very cool stuff

And there we go. No colour, because I did it in a rush. Basically, I imagine myself as being a medic because I want to be a nurse after I graduate. And I'm in training because I think currently I'm a bit too young to be a fully fledged nurse. My hair is in a bun because I just love that hairstyle, and if it were down it would just get in the way. So yay ^_^

This was officially the last BurtonSSSSona on my to-do list, if anyone wants a super twisted highly exaggerated version of their sona, I might be able to find the time and energy to have a go at more Burtonifications ;) (I've caught the bug baaaaad)
...so I'd volunteer Strelok for this but I'm waaaay behind on what I already have promised... I have no idea whether I'd ask for Strelok of V!Strelok (granted the V!ssssona is drastically different in appearance as no bandanna covering his hair and no mask either....), but mostly I'm behind on what I'm working on...

Also, just thought I'd put this one here as well while I'm at it ^-^

Klarissa had grown up with it .... the relentless noise suffocating her since she was born.
Too many bodies crowding her home, and a sea of screeching voices all vying for the spotlight when she braved the outside world.
She could feel their eyes boring into her, driving her mad.
Why couldn't they just stand still ....
and stay silent ...?
~~~The Crushing Cacophony~~~

I got the BurtonSSSSona for Daiseerose done today thanks to having the day off! What I noticed about her bio is that she really didn't seem to enjoy the constant noise that comes with living with a large family, and she appears to be an introverted character. Thus this twisted take on her outlook of the world was born! >:D
(Also, is there any way to make the pictures posted here bigger? This just seems too small, I've noticed I can't get any of my pictures to post any larger than 700pixels?)

Maybe if you grab the tea and cookies really fast and run. Or get someone to deal with possible trolls first. :DIt was more a "But... it's me !" ^^ Perfect trap, tea and cookies. Mmmh, let's be careful... Who could I send to deal with this possible troll first ? :D

(Also, is there any way to make the pictures posted here bigger? This just seems too small, I've noticed I can't get any of my pictures to post any larger than 700pixels?)That is a limit automatically applied by the forum, mainly put in place for cases when one posts some lots-o-megapixels image and forgets to apply downscaling, so it just stretches over the whole page and looks unpleasant.
The 700 pixels aren't set in stone though, feel free to negotiate it over here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=16.0). :)

It was set to keep pictures from being too large, as the larger images were crashing some people's computers and causing slower load times. If you click on the image as Kex points out though, it will show its original size.

TicTac - welcome tiny medic in training ^_^ not many new 'sonas these days, but it's nice to have you along
Martti - I'm not too sure what's going on, but the comic is pretty, and the premise is intriguing. Will you be explaining more of it? So Riika is awake in the mage space while Martti is asleep there, because he's still awake irl, or because the lady is stopping him from waking?
Haiz - Heheh, I guess we can't really call it the silent world any more now that the squad and Haiz are bringing along our sorta adorable screaming mascot :P Viola's birthday pic is mega pretty, it has so very much life to it and the flowing of the colours looks magical (which was totally the intention I guess, but it works!)
Laufey - Hot darn, but even Lauftroll looks mesmerised by the colours in that picture! The lighting is beautifully done, but the comic effect of the spell is downright perfect for a Haiz mess-up :P I am also impressed with Lauftroll's cleverness in luring poor Von over with tea...
Trinka - Please go ahead and commandeer this thread all you like!! Your arts are great and a pleasure to see ^_^ and such a range from creepy burtonfied daiseerose to adorable birb Robin and fiery and determined piney :3 You are a very talented and hard working artist!

(They have a mage mother)
Yes, she is in mage space and Martti is still asleep (they share dreamspace together, they are really close and connected twins, that's why), I won't tell why Martti is asleep there, I will try to continue the story sometime again, shortly and partly like this, just need time to draw sometime again.

When reading the bio and deciding what to do, I was taken by how Mimmi liked to collect pre-rash antiques and decided to have the picture showcase her treasures ^_^ Deciding what to include treasure-wise meant a lot of forum stalking however, and I felt a right creeper looking though Trinka's posts to figure out the kind of things Mimmi (Trinka) would be collecting. Well I hope I wasn't a freaky weirdo person for nothing and that you agree with the choices. Also, a head cannon I adopted while working on it was that the civilian clothes she wears in one of the pictures were modified by Mimmi, due to her being a crafting enthusiast and the coat in the back will someday turn into the colourful piece of awesome seen in that picture :P Oh, and the skulls because I saw that on the Secret Santa......
Heh, that was a lot of text ::)

it is only the beginning and the Lady is their mother. (They have a mage mother)Yeah, I remembered reading that they shared a dreamscape ^_^ Welp, when you feel like drawing more I'm sure the rest of the story will be mighty interesting too, and I'll look forwards to seeing what's happening :3

Age- 24
Height- 6"4
Eye Color: Gray
Hair Color: Black
Immune: Yes
Languages- Icelandic, Swedish, German, vague bits of Latin

Well, the first thing that struck me is that it looks like a combination between, a Xenomorph and Shelob, so Shemorph or xenolob. But after closer consideration I've landed on the nickname 'Maggie the Monster Maggot'.
Also, the fact that it looks like a tick makes it like 100 x more sinister.
I'm just so mesmerized by that box thing in the bottom left corner because it has this sublime, probably unintentional resemblance to a painting of an icy bog in winter fog :0
The whole team's demented!
Typical office people, always sassing.
Old world reagents, eh?
Good luck getting anyone to understand why this is valuable enough to bring back. "Reagent? That's the thing you mix with rea'ladies to make sciency stuff happen right?"

Considering that's a canister of hydrogen cyanide there I guess we'll just have to explain it away as 'troll poison'. Or, I suppose, just plain old 'poison'.
I wonder if now would be a good time to start pondering a trollsona for myself, because if Julian survives this encounter he sure as hell won't be in the same shape afterwards :D

This time I randomly started to think of a card I once painted for Yuuago (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=474.msg85127;topicseen#msg85127) where the Lauftroll yoinks whatever story he's been writing (likely something shippy) - and then I realized the troll made a crucial mistake.

After this no real effort was seen for anything, sorry about the art quality and scan quality and and... well, sorry for everything. :D

Goodbye friends, I am gone. 'twas Laufey what killed me. : D
On the one hand, I wouldn't wish boring days on you. On the other, if they result in delightfully ridiculous things like this, well....
(Now that I'm thinking on the subject, unlike my actual self, if my ssssona attempted writing romance fiction, the results would probably be... pretty terrible. I'm imagining a lot of purple prose. : D But then again maybe not)

Will Thranduil ever get to publish his work? The world may never know. But I think this is the first ever picture where Lauftroll in its entirety is visible, so ... Canon size confirmed?

Yes, canon size confirmed, although the Lauf can stretch a bit longer when doing an attack leap. Yuuago confirmed for Thranduil it's the hair.

Would there be any chance you'd be up for a trade? We've both drawn each other's 'sonas so many times already anyway :P and I'm kinda in a scary troll-sy mood. (also seeing Yuu's tarot painting reminded me of how completely awesome the whole series was)
wavewright62 - Nice portrait :3 I like how it conveys such amazing grumpiness despite all the colours and especially the shading in the face. It's very nicely done! :P

I like to think that she'd be smart enough to recognise Sigrun is not worth picking a fight with, but then again maybe Sigrun wouldn't recognise that the troll asking for her autograph isn't actually trying to pick a fight with her at all? It sure is difficult to talk properly when your lower jaw has fallen off >"<

Post by: Ix on April 23, 2016, 07:28:55 PM
So this is where I'd bring up my Self-Insert SSSS character, right? Because I've been thinking them out for a while!!
My self-insert character's named Ix Anderson, they're Swedish (with some Norwegian blood from a grandpa) and definitely the picture of it. Tall (6 feet!), with pale blonde hair, and the most powerful skepticism of any kind of deity you could probably get in a person. This is a bit ironic, as their own grandpa was supposedly a powerful Norwegian mage (although generally considered an Icelandic Mage since he trained in Iceland). Born in the Swedish city of Mora, they spent most of their life for 13 years running away from everything that was challenging and complaining about everything that wasn't. They honestly joined the Military Cleansers unit on their 13th birthday purely because it sounded like a cool thing to do and a good way to get away from their overbearing and large family. They're rather experienced, having spent a good 6 years as a Cleanser. During these 6 years, they developed a, er, fondness for fire and explosives, as well as undiagnosed clinical depression (starting at age 15 and haunting them since). They've had undiagnosed social anxiety issues ever since they were 11, but this doesn't interfere with their Cleansing career as much as it does their conversation and social skills. Because of this, they can be considered very antisocial (they actively avoid large crowds or situations where they'd have to make conversation) and a little gross (they don't have the motivation to brush their teeth or comb their hair or wash their face or really, uh, wash). Therefore, despite their skills, their lack of motivation, avoidance of interaction, and low self-esteem make it so that they aren't really anyone's first choice for a pal or teammate. They're rather weak-willed and tend to mumble. However, they do have strengths. They're good at taking orders and are excellent with a flamethrower or set of explosives. They also really love cats.
That's my Self-Insert! While they're not exactly like me, a lot of things about them (them/they pronouns due to not indentifying with any gender, depression, social anxiety, love of cats, and lack of motivation to take care of themself) are definitely based off of me. So there you are, it's Ix! They're a real dweeb.

Thank you, Ragnarok! I do want to join the Unified Roleplay, but I'm rather confused as to how I'd join, what expedition team Ix (the character) would be on, and how I'd manage to fit myself in when you've all gone so far in the story already!
Yay!!! It's been so long since we've had a new self insert show up! Welcome Ix, your character looks really interesting! We've got a great mix of personalities here, they'll fit right in.
I'm glad I've blown the dust off the area and added in a new one, then! Thank you, Keeper! And I'm glad they'll fit in!

Welcome to the first new crew member in goodness knows how long ;D I'm sure that Ix will be a great contribution to the team and I absolutely love the expression you've given them in the picture.
If you'd like to take part in the role-play you can probably join right in. There are not quite enough people to split into teams as we'd initially intended during the summer, so the current layout is more similar to what's happening with the expedition in the comic. One crew made up of all sorts :P Anyway, it's only the morning of the first day of the crew in the silent world, so we can easily pretend that Ix was about but:
a) was sleeping though the first hour
b) didn't have much to say during the encounter with Keeper and Ragnarok's 'sonas
c) went out for an early morning walk and missed the commotion
d) was in the tank and didn't come out for whatever reason when many of the other 'sonas did. Maybe they were busy or just didn't want to deal with that many people first thing in the morning
e) other reason I haven't thought of, but you have and really it's a pretty obvious solution :P
The current point is that the crew woke up to their first morning in the silent world to two strangers walking towards the tank and waving/shouting/saying "hi". They were suspiciously received and one of the newcomers (Arbert - Ragnarok's 'sona) storms off in a huff at his ill treatment. He gets attacked by a seal beast and some of the crew members go to help him after the mages note that something weird is going on. The beast is defeated and the crew members return back to the tank with Arbert slightly injured. The in-tank crew were informed of what was going on and now we're waiting for a medic to fix up Arbert's shoulder and for what happens next..... (I hope that sums it up well enough for you to get a feel of it, although if you have time to read from page 22 on the roleplay thread it would give you a better idea of what happened)

Oh, okay!! Thank you! So I'll just jump right in, then? Heh, in all the other RPs I'd joined we'd needed character cards and all sorts of things so I guess I'm not used to this kind of RP format - I can definitely go with the route that they were sleeping or just stayed in bed in hopes they wouldn't have to deal with anyone. This'll be great!
Fair warning: the whole 'day rolls over on Thursday' thing has been abandoned.

I did a tiny comic with Riika. maybe I will try to find out one for Martti as well, but Her part is funnier, and for Martti, it would be kinda funnier. Martti is shyer then Riika. Riika is the "awesome type" while Martti is more the "sad type".I, for one, really like Martti & Riika and love to see more of their adventures.

I wish I could join but I am not sure how to roleplay anymore, especially not on a forum??? plus I hate reading long texts (basically I can't read for some reasons, I can't explain.....) and I didn't RP for many years and when I did it was always on MSN or skype, and only with one person at time, in a group I was literally not saying anything for hours, just reading, saying a random hmm, to show I am still there. (good thing I was RPing APH Sweden, so it was kind of IC as well) and RP I had was on my askblogs, where we DREW instead of long text of what they say and so or feel. for me doing art is way easier then writing anyway....
I wish to do more arts instead, and wish to include other ssssonas as well into these comics, but for these I need to know a bit of other ssssonas, and sadly I know nothing.

Just letting you all know that I am working up a fic that may incorporate SSSSonas, and am still in the head-plotting stage. I've already contacted some for permission / ideas, and will go back to this board to verify character quirks as well. Since I need a bunch of extra characters for this storyline, why not us?
Well, you know where to find me if you want Arbet in.

Well, you know where to find me if you want Arbet in.Funny you should mention that, the story started out in the first place as the answer to your prompt in the fic exchange. As part of my mulling over possible plot lines, it occurred to me that I might have to get over my *ahem* challenged approach to action and fight scenes.

What a coincidence, my ssssona Helle-Mai occasionally deals in honey and its by-products!
Seriously, I wonder if this is a basis for the stereotype that gave rise to Pooh? Is this Otso honey-eater docile or fierce?

I don't have a full bio for her yet, I'll work on that soon I guess.
A lot of it is based off of me, like the hair/eyes/initials/etc. And my plan is for her to be a scout, as I especially love going outside on adventures and such. Other parts, however, are very much fictitious. (as much as I'd love to live in Sweden/speak any of the languages I listed/actually be a scout irl ;P)
I peeked at the info dump and realized my ssssona's last name is similar to another's... I can change it if necessary...

Ok i think i understand... alt universe where reynir leaves home early?Actually, alt-universe where Reynir's sister runs a training facility on the premises of a cat training facility - she's sent Tuuri & Onni from her team to retrieve Reynir when his power manifests and he literally runs away from home, ending up on the ship operating as Iceland's offshore quarantine/entry processing facility; they bring him back to their base in Norway. In this AU, some non-immune persons with magical ability can develop superpowers.
I thought it would be fun to populate this AU with some of our characters, even though the vast majority of SSSSona are immune.
I've already exposed Reynir's eldest brother as a fraud who's actually a janitor and not a troll hunter. I've already tipped that Sigrun is there on the expedition but not leading it, and the cleanser on the expedition is female, because AU. Stay tuned for more revelations.

I am supremely curious about what tuuri is doing for sure. As always, awesome and intriguing.Oh! No mystery there. Sara Hallander offered her a job on her radio station, which Tuuri initially declined because she was going on the expedition. I decided not to put her conversation with Sara after she stormed out into the story, but just left it as 'the engineer' making a dedication to Siv and Torbjorn.

Here we go with the next installment:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6610714/chapters/18336223
Riika has a brainwave, so does Tuuri, and Reynir gets in touch with his fylgja, for all the good it does him. Also, the Dalahästen is nearing the end of its journey and the crew is getting their uniforms on...mostly.
I really need to catch up with the story, I am such a slow reader ;3;

I really need to catch up with the story, I am such a slow reader ;3;Heh, it's getting pretty darn big. I tried re-reading it for flow at one point, and it can be a time suck even for a fast reader such as myself. (I did discover *just a few* clunked bits, too. Ah well.)
We haven't seen Martti and Riika do much for a few chapters, although they have been mentioned. In Chap. 13 they both feature but Riika especially shines, as she makes a crucial connection.

Spoiler: show
I made twins. They're descendants from a small group of Scottish (and Scottish-American) friends who were touring Norway when the Rash hit. They have a lot of relatives, because those friends took it upon themselves to replenish the Scottish race as much as they could. There's some Norwegian in them, but the entire family is still mostly Scottish - Johannes and Karina especially. That weird gun-thing in Karina's hand is my attempt at drawing an Obrez.
Johannes is the calmer of the two Eliott twins, also the taller at just over 6 feet. His belief in the gods mostly consists of 'acknowledging they exist', as evidenced by the fact that runes work. If they didn't he'd probably drop his belief entirely. Somewhat quiet and reserved, he can show emotion, it's just that he usually doesn't. Became a Hunter because he was pretty good at shooting things and it seemed like something interesting to do - and more importantly, something that wasn't tedious, or wouldn't become tedious easily. Almost became a Cleanser like his sister, but his throwing accuracy leaves something to be desired. Speaks English and Scots well enough (mostly with his family/sister), but not nearly as familiar with it as Karina. Nor is he as good a singer. Still lives in Hitra with the family - he claims he just likes the scenery and being close to the rest of the family. Karina knows better - it's because he gets seasick easily, which she teases him about, a lot. A tinkerer, likes to fix things (mostly stuff Karina steals from pre-Rash ruins that she sends him) but occasionally works on designing machinery. Could have been an engineer, but most engineering work in the Y90s is focused on civil engineering, which he finds boring. He'd much rather just design things. His dream? To build an airplane.
Karina is a five-foot-three ball of pure energy. She believes in the gods (unlike most of her Swedish neighbors) simply because the gods are badass. More expressive with her emotions than Johannes, and substantially more excitable - though she can control herself. She just chooses not to, unless the situation is genuinely serious. A Cleanser passing through town when she was seven was what convinced her to go to Sweden and become a Cleanser herself - against her parent's better judgement, they let her go. Turns out she was very good at Cleansing, specifically the burning and exploding things part. Substantially better at English and Scots than her brother, to fluent levels. She is also fluent in Swearing In Gaelic. Listening to Gramma's records both helped with her language skills and her singing skills. Also knows how to play two instruments - the guitar (her father's, she bought an electric one of her own) and the bagpipes (her grandfather's, now hers) After moving to Mora to train at the age of 13, she decided to live there permanently, almost always using what vacation time she gets to return home. A bit of a kleptomaniac - though she doesn't steal from the living. She steals from ruins, taking things that look interesting before the burning really starts. She cleans them of course, and sometimes she gets caught, but not always - among other things, that's how she got her Obrez. She wants to see Johannes's plane fly, though she's pretty sure that all he'll manage to do with it is piss off every Troll from here to Gibraltr with it.

Welcome!
As far as OC culture.... don't use other OCs w/o permission, and keep things as close to canon as possible. Mary and Marty Sue's will be terminated with extreme prejudice, usually by their own creators. *awkwardly indicates self*
Anyway, we have an expedition RP going, and what do ya know, one of the Cleansers is seriously ill. Perhaps Karina and Johannes would be interested in being reinforcements?

Obrez.
I know a guy who form-4'd a CMP M-1 and made an Obrez'd M-1 out of it (rust pitting had caused a weak point in the barrel that would have ruptured if he tried to fire it), it even cycles properly too.
Also neat characters.

Here is my SSSS self-insert!
Age: 21
Nationality: Finn
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes (but is a hyprochondriac despite this)
Profession: Skald, military
Languages: Finnish, Icelandic (but is very bad at speaking Icelandic -- pretty much just reads it)
She is primarily a skald working at Keuruu, but also helps out with missions outside the walls of Keuruu when greater manpower is needed, like when a scout finds a particularly nasty troll. Hence her sword. Not a mage, since she has very little spirituality for a Finn. Friends who are mages are constantly trying to get her to at least show a layman's sensitivity to magic, but so far it hasn't worked.
That's pretty much what I look like. She's tall, like Sigrun's height probably. (How tall are the characters, actually? Is there any official height chart anywhere?)
Post by: PickleChip on November 17, 2016, 02:05:27 AM
(I messed up the eyes so bad, they normally don't look like that)
Name: Åleta Larsson (Not my actual name, but one of my Swedish ancestors)
Age:18
Area of Birth: Mora, Sweden
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Skald, Soldier
Languages: Swedish, Icelandic
Åleta was born in a poor area of Mora, Sweden. Her dad was a scientist working on a cure, which went wrong and he got sick. He died when Åleta was 2, so she never really knew him. Her mom never had a job or an education, and was also pretty stubborn, so she never had the same job for long. With what little money they had, Åleta was able to go to Skald school(i don't know if that's a thing, but whatevah) when she was 10. Her mother eventually remarried and had two more children. At 16, Åleta was the youngest graduating Skald of the year, she was recruited intp the military instantly. She has been written up at least 50 times for being a bit too reckless and drawing on everything (even a really old book). The only reason she hasn't been fired yet is because she has blackmail on EVERYONE. They are scared of her because of that. She is not aloud to fight due to a panic disorder that gives her frequent panic attacks (at least twice a month). She also had a kinda, sorta, maybe boyfriend. I'll draw them together tomorrow.
She is more of an OC then she is me, but her personality is definitely based of mine.
Post by: Ragnarok on November 17, 2016, 08:00:23 AM
No such luck on the official heights, IIRC. You could try the comments section, and Minna might notice it and post something...
Is Aleta related to one Trond Andersen, by the way? Also yeah, skald school is a thing, Emil tried to go to one.

As far as I know there's no height chart, but there's some pictures of their heights compared to each other:

This is Björn Eriksson, Åleta's kinda-sorta-maybe boyfriend. They have been neighbors and best friends since they were 5. Everyone has a had bets on when they will finally be together. He is a woodcarver and likes to makes dala horses.

Name: Helmi Astrid Laitinen
Age: 21
Nationality: Finn/Dane (Finnish father, Danish mother), grew up in Finland and doesn't speak Danish
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes (but is a hypochondriac despite this)
Profession: Skald, military
Languages: Finnish, Icelandic (but is very bad at speaking Icelandic -- pretty much just reads it)
Helmi was born in Finland to a Danish mother and Finnish father. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler, and she only met her mother a few more times before she died in the Danish land reclamation attempt. She knows her mother was a respected academic, and Helmi shares her thirst for knowledge, poring over any old-world tomes she can get her hands on. Her father works in the Finnish "navy" and comes and goes from Keuruu, helping the ferries to run.
Helmi is primarily a skald working at Keuruu, but also has some combat training and helps out with missions outside the walls of Keuruu when greater manpower is needed, like when a scout finds a particularly nasty troll. Hence her sword. She is not a mage, since she has very little spirituality for a Finn. Friends who are mages are constantly trying to get her to at least show a layman's sensitivity to magic, but so far it hasn't worked.
The half-Finn/half-Danish aspect comes from my own half-Finn half-Dutch ethnicity. I got the idea from the fact that when my friend recommended SSSS to me, she got Danish and Dutch mixed up and told me there were Dutch characters. I was ecstatic at the idea of a webcomic so specifically tailored to my interests, but it turned out that she had just made a (very common in America) mix-up. (But if the Dutch were in SSSS, I feel like they'd play a pretty similar role to the Danish. I mean, land reclamation? That's got the Dutch written all over it! ..Anyway, I digress.)
Helmi is the name of my great-grandmother, and then the rest of this character's name I made up.
Also, Helmi was saved by Lalli once, two years ago:
(https://68.media.tumblr.com/8dbf18f62f1038b315710e930a7a8e3c/tumblr_oh108zQzZ11s4wvcjo1_540.png)
This was before she had much experience with missions outside the walls of Keuruu, and she got distracted while reading an ancient plaque she found. Soon enough, a beast snuck up on her. She fumbled with her sword, dropping it, and sprinted away as fast as she could. Luckily for her, Lalli happened to be scouting nearby and was able to kill the beast. She's gotten significantly better at not freaking out outside the walls since then.
Please enjoy!

Only kinda sorta fun is the next chapter in my story. It swings around a bit in mood, and is longer than most of the other chapters, but some things happen and then some other things happen and it's all very character-building. Lots of SSSSonas, but especially watch out for Sofie and her amazing developing spine.

Huh, so is Ilya (and by extension, Reynir) attracted to foreign magic? Or is it just certain mages?
Or do they sense the plot armor that comes from being a named character?

Huh, so is Ilya (and by extension, Reynir) attracted to foreign magic? Or is it just certain mages?I'm leaving the science of what makes an anchor alone at this point. I am working with the general idea of *all* people being discernible in the dreamworld to some degree, and Ilya was showing Reynir that those impressions and energies carry properties that can be used to navigate between worlds to some degree. Ilya's no scientist, though, just someone getting by with the hand they're dealt. Reynir has been using anchors unconsciously.
Or do they sense the plot armor that comes from being a named character?
The hugely attractive ones are the anchors. Not all anchors are mages - in fact the only other anchor I've blatantly identified before this chapter is Birgitta, Jodis' girlfriend on the quarantine ship. Jodis mentioned two at her base in Norway, whom she hired specifically to lure Ilya. We know of one in the kitchen back in Helvetia, but I didn't specify who. I guess it's no spoiler, because it actually has no bearing on the plot, but Olaf the cook in Norway is one anchor, and so is Heike. I suspect Birkir Einarson back in Iceland may be one as well, although not that powerful.
Lalli and Onni have both seen Ilya running while they were in their havens, but from a distance. They're not anchors. :( Onni has no special powers to detect Ilya's presence at the base in Norway, either.
Plot armour, heh.

Finally caught up on your superhero AU Wavewright. Been busy with family stuff and trying to badger people to get details of positions I'm applying for.
awesome as always.
Aww thanks, hope the applications pan out well. Didn't you notice....anything vaguely familiar?
Edit: The challenge was: finding a way to incorporate Strelock into the story. This was one of two ways I nutted out.
I found your comment, and have made the requisite adjustments to the encounter with Strelock! I seemed to have missed that leeetle detail. I used the original SSSSona guide for languages, age, character picture, etc, looked again at the various threads for more details, then whizzed through the various RP threads, and still managed to miss the fact that Strelock is female.
Actually, this clears some of the mighty confusion I had over the GoT crossover fic, too, now that I think about it!
Post by: Solokov on November 24, 2016, 05:04:42 PM
I decided turning it into a joke on military bureaucracy that only anyone who's ever had to deal with such a clerical error would get, so far no one's commented on it in RP, but granted it's been only a few hours in rp... since you know what I think only Gwenno's character is the only one out there that probably read the paperwork on who's who in the expedition and she's the only one who's heard Strelock referred to as "her" now that I think on it, and that was by Arbet which ultimately could be blamed on accent anyway...
*realizes I'm horribly tangled up in [PLOT] webbing and can't stuggle out of it* anyone got a knife and can cut me down before lore spiders get me?

Hmm....land of palm trees covered in trolls.... that could be a lot of areas... especially considering there's many kind of palm trees... however the most likely culprit I would have to guess would be...... Costa Blanca (apparently the palm capitol of europe) in spain, as that would be far enough south to be relatively warm by comparison, but also probably close enough to be pulled off by Ilya with Reynir in tow in a single night while also having had enough of a population density to have gotten enough rash victims to be "covered" in them (especially considering Spain was the known ground zero for the epidemic since we don't know where the patient 0 refugees came from)
Yes I am aware I looked way too deeply into this... Though, wavewright, If I sleuthed it out and you were indeed indicating Ilya was talking about the south-eastern coast of spain do I get a cookie?

I actually didn't have anything more specific than Spain or Portugal or maybe the Canary Islands in mind, so uh, yeah! yeah, that's exactly where I meant!
You get all the cookies! ::)
As for how far they can go in a single night - ehhh, physics pfffft, this is a superhero AU of a fiction story only kinda sorta based in science in the first place, ANYthing goes.
Awww thanks, Cap'n a****** did him a favour after all, eh? Although in Sonja's prophetic dream, it looked sooo much worse for him.

That's the trouble with prophetic dreams, context is missing.

What's a superhero story without gadgets?
Dang it, saw the post here and got excited thinking you'd put up a new chapter already...
Weirdly enough, this is probably the most accurate way of depicting a society where people start getting superpowers. They already have magic, so it doesn't seem so strange, and it's too recent for any major changes. The powers are relatively limited.
Basically, what I'm saying is that it apparently takes an apocalypse to make superheroes realistic...

Extraordinary becomes ordinary? Actually, you may remember the original brief (*your* original brief, as it were) was that Tuuri needed to be able to beat superheroes - so she has ended up with a mechanical aptitude outside the norm, but without any magic. As for the supposed mechanics of the boat...ummm, I'm going with Minna's 'really-handy-but-don't-look-to-the-laws-of-physics-to-explain-it-okay' tech.
New chapter is already in progress (I always put a rough outline as my first draft, right after I post the previous chapter), but my next writing session is scheduled for working out my idea for J in the Alphabet Challenge, which if I play it right should be funny.

Ah...
Aha.
Ahahahaha >_>
Well, I just spent about three or four hours designing an somewhat SI-ish OC (how does that even work???), and I think it'd be a waste if I didn't use them, so...
Spoiler: show
This is Mo the Stray.
They're from somewhere in and around what once was Germany, and yes, they are wearing a stolen bedsheet as a makeshift cloakthing, held in place by a safety pin. They also were trousers that are one size too big (with a belt that is way too big), and boots that are one size too small (they wear them for protection, else they rather go barefoot anyway), all of which is probably also stolen, but the blue scarf and the backpack is all theirs. They stuff everything that may be even just mildly useful in there. Fun fact, the knife they are carrying is just a butter knife. They rather use big sticks (preferable thorny ones) or big, sharp stones as weapons if need be.
However, they survived in the wilderness with barely a scratch due to doing the only sensible thing (in their eyes): running and hiding and avoiding danger at all costs. They are pretty paranoid too. They see moving shadows everywhere (too the point they are used to it, maybe, no, not maybe, they are also a bit crazy). Thus, they always have their senses in their surroundings, ready to run or climb the next tree (they are quite deft). And they also know what to eat, which berries, mushrooms, herbs, what nature produces at the time.
Furthermore, they have semi-lucid dreams, as in, they are aware that they are dreaming, but have zero control over what's happening in the dreamscape, not even over their own body. All they can do is watch.
Their heritage is a mystery, their gender is undefined, as is their grade of immunity (most likely yes, but who knows...)
So yeah, they are a wandering character, because staying around one point is not only dangerous but also pointless, since one needs food.
And they probably have not met many other humans in a long time, if any at all.
WARNING: Highly undependable, DO NOT RELY ON (unless you can bring them to care about something other than their own survival)

Your character is now, possibly unintentionally, extremely badass- my own OC set up what's left of Silent World Germany/Switzerland. It makes Girl Genius's Europa look tame, and virtually everything between the Danish border and the Alps is a hellscape of feuding semi-medieval factions, escaped alchemic experiments, trolls, etc.
Your character has, by deduction, survived this with sticks and rocks.

O_O ...oops. Nope, definitely not intentional, I see them as a crazy and extremely lucky coward. (most likely using the sticks and rocks to cause as much of a distraction as possible, then run at the first opportunity, but first and foremost not taking risks and getting themselves into a possibly dangerous situation in the first place)
But if they end up being badass, that's fine with me as well :D
They most likely only speak German, if they didn't actually pick up some foreign words on the rare occasion they meet travelers of different heritage (if at all), perhaps because they sounded fun.
Can they read and write? - Maybe???, but their handwriting would be terrible due to lack of usage.
They believe only in the greater concept of providence, in their own way, and in what the voices in their head, their only company, tell them to keep them going.
(Alternatively, they believe in all the gods and wear a necklace with every possible religious symbol they know of and they could find/make, however, how would they know about the gods? hrrmmmm...)
Oh, and their age is something in the early twenties.
Hrrrmmmm, now which other questions should be answered...?

Re: knowing about the gods...they might just assume any large meeting place with important symbols is holy or hallowed. Which leads to them wearing some random symbology as well as the more normal religious symbols?

My headcanon (probably separate from wavewright's) is that the presence of superpowers allowed the Regnum to expand much farther north and/or allowed them to tame the Wastes, so it's relatively speaking not as far to travel.

It hasn't been quickly, really. The unit was in Switzerland in early autumn (Septemberish), and it's now winter (not all that far in, Decemberish).
My headcanon (probably separate from wavewright's) is that the presence of superpowers allowed the Regnum to expand much farther north and/or allowed them to tame the Wastes, so it's relatively speaking not as far to travel.
Off-camera, so to speak - Jón is attached to a small unit of mercenaries doing reconnaissance work (his employers are unnamed, but can be viewed as either the Regnum, or the Duke of Helvetia on his own behalf, or double-dipping from more than one duchy, those politics are not really in the scope of this work and the author reserves the right to wave her hands about vaguely over the question), this northern part of Europe is not (yet) anywhere near the Regnum proper. These Wastes (which is a damn good name for the area, thank you for that) are certainly not tamed, as the Danes learnt to their detriment 10 years ago.
The mercenaries have horses and experience in travelling in these areas. Jón split off from the main group to investigate when Grim called his attention to the presence of the crew in the tank. He was not allowed a horse, but otherwise the leadership of the mercenaries, such as it is, let him go. After all, he is useful, but if the damn fool wants to go off by himself & get killed, well, more share of the pay packet (and incidental undeclared personal plunder) for them. He was given a general idea of where the unit was going and left to it.
Spoiler: "really truly an actual spoiler" • show
How Jón accomplishes his rendezvous - well, that is a question, isn't it?
Ragnarok is more in control of Jón/Arbet's character development, but this is the time before the unknown cataclysm, and an AU to boot. He has some skills in alchemy but is not as skilled as we see him post-cataclysm and in the Y96 adventure.
Spoiler: show
That event is still in his future, and he still has a role to play here.

Hey, I was wondering: would people mind if we posted OCs here (and could we get a mod to rename the thread to reflect it)? Because I have a few ideas, including characters that actually would fit the SI model.Spoiler: existence of Arbet- hes not really an SI • show
If yes to the first question, will post a few ideas here.
From Haiz' original FAQ about the SI concept:
"- Does my character have to be exactly like me? Are there any ground rules I should follow?
No, most people have characters merely based on themself. Some characters are more autobiographical than others, some are steering into more OC (Original Character) territory. And some characters - like trolls - are just 'sonas, not self-inserts. (but if you want to make a biographical trollsona, go ahead!)
we never talked about any rules, but there seems to be a consensus that your character should fit into the established SSSS-verse. Of course, there are limits to what we know of the SSSS-verse, especially when it comes to mages and the dreamworld... no harm in trying, though."
So why not post OCs? That fits well within the ethos of the Forum and what we're doing here, no need even for a separate or renamed thread. (I just realised - *I'm* a mod now, so this is policy? Meep.) If somehow the trend reignites, we can split off pure OCs into their own thread later.

Fritsche Josef
Age: 20
Hair color/style: brown/cropped.
Eye color: Blue
Height: 5’6.
Build: Wiry.
Status: Immune
Languages: German, some Italian
Distinguishing features: Generally has 'fresh out of boot camp’ appearance. Brand of eagle on right shoulder.
Background: Conscripted by the Band of the Red Falcon (a professional mercenary group given privilege to operate by the Empire in a manner close to an actual military) at 19. Deserted with Albrecht because he was on sentry duty that day and begged to come along. A fair shot and good with bayonet, but actively hates hurting people. Somewhat pious.
Equipment: A bolt-action rifle (think Kar98k) with spike bayonet (trench spike with a lug for mounting it over the grip). A short sword, and a couple of incendiary grenades. A golden cross on a steel chain.
Clothes: Wears a grey greatcoat with dark clothing underneath. Has a heavy pack w/bedroll, also dark.
Albrecht Salier
Age: 36
Hair color/style: Red-brown, cut short.
Eye color: Black
Height: 6’0
Build: Heavy.
Status: Immune
Languages: German, Italian, some Latin
Distinguishing features: Brand of eagle on right shoulder. Tattoo of red falcon on right forearm. Burn scars on left cheek and eye, blind on left side.
Background: Mercenary and sociopath. Got in an argument with a superior officer over a woman, which ended with the officer dead and Albrecht in the brig. Escaped, killed most of the Band of the Red Falcon’s command staff, and stole a great deal of their payroll on his way out. Allowed Fritsche to accompany him as a Morality Pet.
Recognizes he is sociopathic, relies on others to provide moral guidance. Naythiest (believes in God, doesn't think he's worth worshipping).
Very good at killing, not so much anything else.
Equipment: A bolt-action rifle identical to Fritsche’s, though considerably more battered. Bayonet in similar condition. A few fragmentation and incendiary grenades. A hand axe.
Clothes: Similarly to Fritsche, but pack and bedroll are smaller.
Kerecse ‘Farman’ Buzad
Age: Indeterminate, mid-forties?
Hair color/style: Black, dyed dark green, wild & unkempt
Eye color: Light brown, edging on yellow
Height: 6’3
Build: Thin.
Status: Immune?
Languages: Hungarian, German, Greek, Italian, some Arabic, Serbian.
Distinguishing features: Massive unkempt beard. Moss growing in and dying hair. Missing first knuckle of ring finger on left hand, and pinky finger on right hand.
Background: Is either completely batshit insane or the greatest traveler of his age. Has claimed to have traveled as far as Constantinople. Has claimed to have eaten 'fresh troll’.
Regardless, is an extremely powerful biomancer. As in, stays in the Wastes among a grove of fruit trees and growing greenery, and nothing dares approach kind of powerful.
Rather unhinged, in a harmless way. Makes frequent odd references. Refers to Fritsche as 'Morality Pet’. Refuses to teach Conrad magic on the grounds of 'not becoming the Obi-Wan of the group’.
On the list of actual feats, hit a giant with a tree. Then used said tree to launch said giant at a demonically-empowered cultist.
Currently accompanying the group because 'I want to see that cat fellow up north’.
Equipment: A long wooden staff, and a curved knife.
Clothes: Tattered camouflage-pattern robes, no shoes. A really nice tricorn hat.

Conrad von Schurburg
Age: 26
Hair color/style: Black/shaved short
Eye color: Green
Height: 5’9
Build: Muscular
Status: Immune
Languages: German, Italian, some Latin
Distinguishing features: goatee.
Background: The third son of a knight, decided to seek his fortune as a wandering chevalier.
Is sincerely regretting this decision as his career thus far has mostly consisted of things exploding. His talent with alchemy is largely formed from self-preservation, and most of his arrays are defensive in nature.
Came across the group after a castle he was besieging exploded. Yes, the entire thing. No, he has no idea how that happened, but at this point he was so used to being a human projectile he wrapped a forcefield spell around himself and went to sleep before impacting.
Is the Only Sane Man of the group, according to Kerecse.
Equipment: An enchanted warhammer (two-handed) made to be unbreakable. Turns out a side-effect of that makes it really good at penetrating armor. Who knew?
A dagger and revolver round out the rest of his meager arsenal.
Clothes: Is either wearing a coat-of-plates and assorted armor or a simple tunic with his house symbol (a black blade over a silver mountain) on it.
Stahlzahn
Age: 4
Fur color: Brown w/ black patterns
Eye color: Green
Height: 2'2
Build: Quadripedal
Status: Immune
Languages: Dog, Western Dog, Northern Doginese
Distinguishing features: Is a dog
Background:
Woof.
Fritsche's companion. Eats wildlife.
Equipment: Teeth.
Clothes: Dog chain mail.
Now I just need to figure out how to bribe someone to draw these over the Internet...

Canon AU? As far as the AU goes, it is how wavewright chose to write it, and I think she worked it in super well.
As far as the RP and the backstory that I have in my mind, Madeline snuck over to Sweden and got across by boat. In the regular canon, I don't know how likely it would be for a rescue truck to cross over and give her that opportunity, though we'll have to see where the comic goes.

As for getting inspired, I have as of now made basic notes about two self inserts (on different levels of biographical accuracy) and almost a dozen other characteres, started multiple times to try to draw anything resambling a human being and failed (maybe I should come up with a hideous troll character, that I could draw) and also I have reclaimed almost 3000 of photos from a family tour to Nordkapp from 12 years ago, under the pretext of doing some unrelated research.

OTOH, I never named Tuuri's boat. *scratches chin* I wonder if I should, when I get around to the continuity edits. *scratches chin some more* Aino comes to mind. *puts lotion on scratched chin* yesssss...

Thank you, and you were indeed correct about the wedding couple.

Helle-Mai? Yeah, spotted her.
Okay, gonna drop another OC here, this one based off my Fallout: New Vegas playthrough, specifically the New Vegas Bounties III mod.
Name: Georg Konig (may be an alias)
Known Aliases: the Hunter, the Courier, Devil's Bane, the Breaker
Age: 32 (minimum, extrapolated from references)
Height: 6'1
Build: Fit
Immunity: Yes (assumed)
Eye color: Grey
Hair color and style: Grey, typically in a swept-back style paired with a beard
Languages: German, Danish, Swedish, has demonstrated knowledge of Latin and the dead language of English.
Clothing: A heavy dark grey duster with an ace of spades symbol on the back, over grey body armor. Wears a helmet/gas mask combo with red eye lenses and a short antenna on the right side. Armor is liberally festooned with bandoliers and containers, and he wears a red scarf at his throat. Carries a dark brown satchel on his back.
Distinguishing Marks: Scar stretching from right eye to mid right head, clearly bullet wound. Bullet scars over left eye, patch over same. Hands show signs of having been mangled by bullet wounds at some point.
Background:
Unknown. First appearance on record is in the Wastes near the Danish border in Y80, gunning down a small gang of Death Worshippers.
From there, Georg has engaged in a variety of tasks, including guard duty, pathfinding, caravan protection, detective work, retrieval missions, bounty hunting, and paramilitary operations. In each, he has demonstrated both high skills in the use of firearms and melee weapons, and an ironclad moral code (details below), the latter of which often leads to trouble.
Confirmed reports of Georg's activities are difficult to come by, given the nature of 'civilization' north of the Regnum, and the most ludicrous can easily be dismissed. However, what can be ascertained is that the man is stubborn and driven to the point of being near-suicidal. There have been at least three reliable kill reports on Georg, and all have been proven false, typically coinciding with the prompt delivery of his would-be killer's head. Georg has survived trolls, Giants, beasts, Death Worshippers, mutants, the entirety of the Empty Mountain's escaped experiments, Regnum assassins, radiation, and murderous clowns, to date. It is believed he either possesses the protection of a deity or some form of magically derived endurance or luck.
As of the last reports, Georg has returned from the town of Frosthill, just north of the Regnum proper. No replies have come from communication attempts to Frosthill, and the town should be assumed destroyed.
Known skills and preferred weapons:
Georg typically prefers to utilize a cartridge conversion of a Remington New Model Army revolver, or a modified PGM Hecate II AMR. He also carries a great variety of knives and explosives, and makes use of both as needed.
Notes: Moral Code:
Georg seems to be a great believer in redemption, allowing guilty criminals to escape or outright ignoring them provided they change their ways. This redemption is only extended once, however, and any who persist in unlawful activities are quickly killed. Georg also seems to harbor a dislike for governmental authority, though he will cooperate willingly if the pay is good.
Notes: Personality and Known History:
Georg seems to possess a dry wit and casual sense of humor when not engaged in combat. He makes frequent references to 'the Divide' and 'that slow-speaking motherf***er'. He does not seem overly concerned by the murder of fellow humans, and in combat and out of it frequently quotes biblical verses, typically those from the Old Testament. He associates these with 'Father Graham', who he apparently considered a mentor.
Further notes: Georg seems to have a home base of some sort, possibly a pre-Rash bunker. It would explain the sheer diversity and quality of weaponry he has wielded.

Name: Simon Långström
Age: 20
Nationality: Swedish
Height: 6'
Build: Average, but kind of muscular. Looks more slim-ish due to height.
Immunity: Yes
Eye color : Light blue/grey
Hair color: Light brown, bordering dirty blonde
Haircut : Hair is short and messy, with his bangs almost standing upward in a messy tuft, making his forehead stand out a bit. When it hasn’t been cut for a while, the bangs slump down a bit due to their increased length.
Language(s) Swedish and Icelandic, can understand Norwegian and Danish.
Occupation:
Background: Simon was born in the navy base and coastal city of Karlskrona on the southern coast of Sweden. Due to the city center being located on a few islands with two bridges to them, they are isolated from other dangers, since walls have been built to seal off the islands. The remainder of the swedish navy and the ships that were stationed there have been converted into armed fishing vessels. Lost ships were common in the beginning due to the many different beasts and giants lurking in the waters around the city. It is mainly due to that reason the city was isolated, but contact has been established with Mora, which in turn has made them establish contact with Iceland, Denmark, and Finland. A converted stealth vessel takes passengers to Bornholm, which is quite close, and they can then go to Mora and the rest of the known world from there. As of year 90, direct contact with Mora is limited to trade and military. A cleanser recruitment office has been established, and a project is currently ongoing with the objective to cleanse the peninsula of Vämö and the Bergåsa area. Simon was a cleanser recruit before contact was established with Mora. These types of cleansers had roughly the same doctrines and ideas as the ones in Mora. However, they were very underdeveloped and had outdated equipment, working from boats and demolishing structures with artillery rather than explosives.
Clothes: On duty, he wears the standard cleanser uniform, with black undershirt and pants under it. When not on duty, he enjoys wearing Jeans and t-shirts, but that depends on the temperature as well.
Personality: He's a very analytical and logical individual, but he's quite scatter-brained and can sometimes have a hard time concentrating. He is very fond of cats, and is fairly good at making friends, but he's usually in the sidelines of a conversation unless it involves him or is about something he's interested in. He has a good sense of loyality and does what his superiors tell him to do and respect them, but he expects to be respected in return, otherwise he might not enjoy taking orders from them as much.
Equipment: Standard AK-7B rifle along with concentrated explosive grenades. Usually carries bandages as well.

Name: Tovek Iasare
Age: 22
Nationality: Swedish
Occupation: Academic
Build: Stocky, but muscular
Immunity: Yes
Height: 6'1
Eye color: Blue.
Hair color: Light brown
Hair style: Best described as 'shrub'.
Languages: Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Finnish. Also capable of reading German, Polish, and English.
Background:
A Mora native, Tovek was deemed unqualified for military service due to his poor eyesight. Partially out of spite, he spent a considerable amount of time and effort in both close-quarters and pistol training, his academic career as a translator of Old World texts suffering as a result. He volunteered for the second expedition, but was barred again due to a rush of applicants. He has finally succeeded in securing a spot in the third.
Clothing: Typically favors a heavy brown coat and a flat cap (also brown). Wears glasses (round spectacles). Coat has a nearly-uncountable number of interior pockets that he uses to carry a variety of small items.
Personality: Tovek is typically withdrawn and quiet, and given his general appearance many mistake this for surliness. However, if engaged in discussion he grows markedly more animated. Occasionally he grows combative, especially if he sees someone as trying to replace him. However, in most occasions he is a genuinely nice person. Does not believe in the Norse gods but acknowledges that magic is a thing.
Equipment: Carries a Ruger revolver chambered for .357 Magnum, and has been provided with a Army-issue combat knife. Typically has bandages, a couple of pocket dictionaries, and a multi-tool on his person at all times, in addition to the aforementioned menageries of random items.

I'm dropping in cause I just realized that I never sent in the final of Agnes, so... you can look at her info placard under the cut. :P Just your standard sleep deprived captain.
Fun fact: she got stood up at the altar on her wedding day. So her first response was to sign up for a potentially deadly mission into the silent world, because... well, she didn't need to worry about her fiance anymore, did she? ;)

A bit too young, and a bit too connected to the SSSS mainline story for my liking, partially due to the whole "we don't know how it ends" thing and things can take any kind of turn now.
Question: are these rules for any OCs we may create, or are they specifically for RP characters? Genuine question, just trying to figure out what the thread rules are here.

I really want to do this, but I feel like I don't know enough about...well, anything; most importantly, how exactly this works and are there any requirements for how to make a character?
1. Come up with a charrie.
2. Write said charrie into SSSS.
3. ????
4. Profit.
Seriously that's it.
Also the RP has a player drought recently so if you can put in a couple good posts a day to counterbalance Kitty drowning us in amazing charrie writing that'd be great. I've got a squad of peeps that can be used as PCs.
Post by: Nellie McEnt on February 25, 2019, 10:55:40 PM
2. Write into SSSS meaning into the story itself or just the world in general?
3. ???? :)
Also, can people join the RP halfway through? Does that work?
Also thank you!

Yes, second one, ??? is a joke about plans. (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/profit)
And ya, I'll write up some foreign charries for ya if you want some immersive entry. Background is gonna be kinda limited in terms of choice though...hit me up on Discord. Link is in the first page of the RP.

Are you planning to write a character for me for the RP game?
Oh. Upon further ponderance, I think I get it. Do you mean you have multiple planned/involved characters that could be used by a separate person?
If I haven't horrible misunderstood you, thank you very much but I'm nervous about not having time to be of any use in the RP.

Wait, I'm so sorry, now I'm just confused. (Not about the profit joke, I get it now ;D)
Are you planning to write a character for me for the RP game?
I have a variety of NPCs and people who are mostly random footnotes that are going to be accompanying our crew in the near future (50% to keep them alive, 50% so I have expendable meatshields).
If you want a seamless and relatively quick entry to said RP, I will happily provide you with a background (and alter it to fit your own roleplaying proclivities) and control of that NPC so that you can join in. That NPC will then be a PC, obviously.
Post by: Nellie McEnt on February 25, 2019, 11:15:22 PM

Oh sorry, I updated my last post just as you posted a response. I have never played a roleplaying game before (to my own dismay) and I have honestly very little free time of late and I fear I wouldn't be able to orient myself properly (or play regularly).

Well, technically the lasgun is replaced by its closest equivalent (a rifle that looks the same) as does any other strage stuff, although Section 31 sounds interesting (although I don't know what it is).
Tl:dr; it's part scp foundation, part black mesa research facility, part ordos hereticus. They research and try to quantify magic in ways the members of the Nordic council leadership, and anyone non mage can comprehend, as well as attempt to contain anything too dangerous.
Unlike their counterparts in other works however they aren't really clandestine, people just avoid them because they just seem like the kind of folks that make people disappear.
Also section31 is noncanon to ssss itself and only fits within the rp context.
Also in one of the alt universes they (or rather the group that became section 31 in the main room Canon) built their own country, and went more or less full gits with tachikoma tanks and synthetic humanoids. Also teleportation to a minor degree though that went horribly wrong. The military buildup was necessary because the Danish empire had Zeppelins and a duck mothering vampire in it's employ.
Ssss-rp section 31 just has minor magitech, some absurd runos, a workable knowledge of magic beyond just the Nordic branches, a few Tau pulse carbine, and knowledge that the Nordic alliance is not alone in the world and that a USA/Russia/China expedition is headed in their general direction.

Here's my OC Annika, a Swedish army's cat squad hunter and her two cats (made after my two IRL cats). Both cat are hers, even though the official papers say they're "assigned". I will write down some more info about her later. For now just let it be known that she might have been at some point Emil's higher-up, since she used to serve in the cleansers, prior to the accident when flamethrower fuel self-ignited during weapon checking, causing her some severe burns on left arm and up towards the left cheek. She needs to have it written in her card, since sometimes from afar she's mistaken for being infected. (Tbh, this was definitely NOT an intention and it has been brought to my attention by a fellow fan when I showed them the first sketches and colour-ins. But it's a thing, so I have to address it. :D)

Biography
Asia Massari was born in a Swiss bomb bunker, which had been occupied by small groups of civilians in the early days of the Rash infection, a few days before it reached Italy. In this bunker, the government of Switzerland had accumulated sufficient food reserves for many years, as well as considerable stocks of weapons, ammunition and medicine. Unfortunately, after a few years quarrels and disagreements began to arise among the members of the bunker, culminating in a violent battle over who among the groups should lead the others. The result was that the survivors and their families killed each other, leaving Asia (who was 5 years old at the time) alone.
For a few years, Asia grew up alone inside the bunker, feeding herself with food supplies that were now all her own, and learning to use the weapons that had been the cause of the massacre. But eventually, even the bunker's supplies ran out.
With no more way to feed herself, Asia was forced to make a courageous choice, and abandon the bunker that had been her home, and walk out into the silent world. In time, Asia learned to hunt, to escape the Beasts and Trolls, and later, to fight them.
To this day, Earth's last Italian (or at least she thinks she is) travels in the Silent World in search of other survivors, trying every day to survive the daily challenges of the Rash…

Curious: how does she carry all that gear? I am accustomed to packing and transporting stuff for real-world wilderness work. That would be way more than I could carry, and I am quite strong for my size. Immune pack mule? Wheelbarrow? Travois? Mucking great backpack? I’m not usually part of this thread, but I was idly glancing through it and noticed this post. And of course if you had any of these options, you could likely carry even more useful stuff, like dried food, a water filter, a tent, spare clothes, blankets, a winter-weight sleeping bag.....even a companion cat.
For the moment, I was thinking of a sled - a sled isn't very fast but it's very quiet. And assuming a winter-only move (to avoid Trolls, Giants, and Beasts) it wouldn't be too much trouble.
for the other things you mentioned: dry food and water filter are indeed very useful, as well as the tent, spare clothes, blankets and sleeping bag. Do you think I should add them to the list?
As for the cat, well, let's just say that my OC, having grown up in almost total solitude, is not aware of the precious qualities of felines.
However, I thank you for the information - this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.

About a piture here. Who needs winter gear in Italia? Or does she operate in mountains?
She operates mainly in the mountains but also in the winter period, which is the time when Trolls, Beasts and Giants are less active.
Post by: Róisín on March 19, 2021, 09:54:43 AM
And may I also suggest a tarpaulin? Especially useful for making a shelter if you don’t have a tent, or to make an insulating floor for your tent if you do have one. Also to protect you and your gear from weather and prevent random bits falling off the sled if you use it as a sled cover, and if you lose your sled a tarp makes a useful base for a travois to haul what gear you have left.
And having been in both Switzerland and the Italian mountains, yes, there is snow, to the point that in some areas there are ski resorts and even glaciers like the one that forms the boundary between Italy and Switzerland. I think climate change may be doing a number on that one, but post-apoc I would expect the climate to start cooling again. Not all of Italy is warm in all seasons.

A sled is a great idea, especially if you can get one of those broad-based ones that slide over both snow and mud, or even a dirt road. In Gippsland we used to call those mudsleds or mudboats, and use them for jobs like hauling potatoes from the field to the house. Gippsland is a part of Australia that has an ecology similar in some ways to that of Finland, though generally a bit warmer, and the area is famous for the depth and variety of its mud, to the point where there are songs about it.

Yeah, cooking gear. If her gear is relatively high tech, a Trangia set is perfect (and very light, one used to be part of my mountain climbing kit), if lowtech, at least a pot, a frying pan and a billy or similar thing to heat water. And some means of making fire - preferably several. I generally have matches or a lighter, a spark striker and a magnifying glass, but there are lots of alternatives. And some sort of lantern or torch. I used to have a hurricane lamp, nowadays mostly have battery lamps.
I thought I had included a cooking kit when I mentioned the tools for skinning and butchering animals.
However, thank you so much for pointing that out.
Post by: Jitter on March 19, 2021, 12:20:21 PM
All of this assumes she’s had access to snow survival literature inside the bomb shelter, just to help her through the first forays into the mountain winter. Those she wouldn’t need to take with her, but would have needed to have before she set out,
The same applies to her religion as well. As she’s been alone since age of five, she probably will have learned much of her faith in books. Or, if she’s going by what she remembers from her parents (??) before they died, her religious practices may be rather... interesting :) Although the guardian angel may guide her in that respect too.
Is the present (the time when she’s 23 years old) for her around year 30? You say “after a few years” the shelter succumbed to infighting.
Interesting character! I’m looking forward to what she will get up to! Is she aware that there are other survivors in the mountains, or just hope for it? Is she aware of the Nordics? No?

Snow shoes and skis. She’s going to need gear to move in the snow, remember there are no roads and probably not very many paths either with mammal populations being low. Lots of rope. I think it would be important to fashion some sort of avalanche survival mechanism which would allow her to use the sled as a “float” during one as well as help her find it afterwards. Definitely a shovel, a small one to carry on her person and a bit bigger one for building snow shelters.
Thank you so much I will add them to the list.

The way I figured it, they brought a lot of survival books into the bunker before the Rash forced them underground. But many of those books, for a personal reason, remained in the bunker after she had learned.

What would you suggest in this regard? What kinds of religious practices might she use?

Well, actually, come to think of it, the violent civil war inside the bunker may have occurred a few generations later. And for reasons that might seem unbelievable (or absurd) to us.

No, the way I imagined it, she believes she is the last survivor in the world. Meeting other living people and discovering that human society is still alive will be a source of great awe and wonder for her.
Post by: Jitter on March 19, 2021, 04:15:15 PM
A couple of generations, putting her to around "our" Y90 would work if the shelter either had gi-nor-mous food stores, or (this probably makes more sense) had a small protected area, let's say electric fence with solar panels, inside which they could grow food, and they kept the preserved foods for safe keeping. The fight could have erupted around whether to open the by now nearly sacred stores or keep preserving them. Being able to harvest some fresh foods from this area (even after the fence fell into disrepair when there were no adults to do maintenance) would also make sense as she was a small child and would need vitamins and nutrients to grow into a strong young adult. Canned foods can stay more or less edible for decades, but the vitamin contents won't. Furthermore it seems more plausible that the people would have survived if they had some land area to get fresh air and sun too.
As for the religion, I don't really want to suggest anything as I'm not Catholic nor do I know the practices very well, and I might end up saying something offensive. If you like the idea, just think about something, anything really, that a child could misunderstand and after mulling it over and over and over again would come to their own conclusions.
But, especially with the assumption that spiritual presences are real in this world and she may actually have a real and present guardian angel, I also think it would be believable for her to have had access to religious books and with the help from those and supported by the angel (even if she can't really detect its presence) she could have gotten it right. If she was left to her own devices with only a Bible and memories of a five year old child, she could come up with anything whatsoever.

Yeah, the bunker having lots of useful literature makes perfect sense, and her leaving the books behind does too. After all, having spent almost 20 years just reading them, she's bound to know them by heart.
Indeed. She only brought the Bible with her (without imagining that this might be the last one) because it gives her psychological comfort.

We could imagine a lighted area of the bunker (like defended by a camouflage window or something similar) that would allow crops to be grown within the bunker itself. It would be logical and realistic: I've often seen this happen in other bunkers in other literary and non-literary works. It would also be interesting because, if Asia was able to continue cultivation for several years on her own, this would enrich her cultural background of experience in alternative cultivation.
Also: what if she brought with her seeds from the plants she grew?

As for the religion, I don't really want to suggest anything as I'm not Catholic nor do I know the practices very well, and I might end up saying something offensive. If you like the idea, just think about something, anything really, that a child could misunderstand and after mulling it over and over and over again would come to their own conclusions.
In this regard I had some ideas, for example distortions of historical events and facts or even mixing legends and true events. For example, we could imagine a pseudo-Christian-like religious vision but very esoteric, almost like an animist religion.

But, especially with the assumption that spiritual presences are real in this world and she may actually have a real and present guardian angel, I also think it would be believable for her to have had access to religious books and with the help from those and supported by the angel (even if she can't really detect its presence) she could have gotten it right. If she was left to her own devices with only a Bible and memories of a five year old child, she could come up with anything whatsoever.
It could even reach teachings and learnings much more evolved than the "original" Christian theology. An idea of mine is that this could, in the future, be the basis for the creation of Christian Wizards...

Definitely something like that on the religion front! I'm a Finn myself so I try to learn what I can about ancient Finnish faith (unfortunately it's largely lost), but I love others' imagining of other religions :)
I am Italian and Catholic. If you want, we can collaborate to think together about a possible Christian derivation in the world of SSSS...

I’m a Celtic Pagan born and bred myself, but when my widowed dad married a Christian when my brother and I were in our early teens I made a serious study of Christianity so that I could have a civilised discussion with her about why we were not going to automatically convert to her faith. I read both Testaments thoroughly, several times, managed to track down parts of the apocrypha, read all the Christian theology I could lay my hands on, and discussed matters at length with friends who were a devout Catholic, an Anglican priest, an elderly lady who wrote hymns and had been a missionary, the son of a Mormon bishop, and one who was a non-practising Baptist. I learned a lot. I recommend CS Lewis (yes, as in the Narnia books) as an interesting writer on modern Christian theology. Both ‘The Problem of Pain’ and the Screwtape Letters are worth a read.
Maybe your character knows hymns sung to her by her parents? Like the little kid’s ‘Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep’? Or maybe her guardian angel may decide that the most useful thing it can do for her is facilitate her training as a mage? I see no reason why magic and Christian faith need be mutually exclusive, having known several Christians and Christian priests who actually practised magic in our time and world (mostly of the healing kind). And remember Pastor A, who was probably a Lutheran pastor?

Which parts of the bible might resonate with a little kid? Psalms? Gospel of John? The four evangelists? Hymns?

Perhaps the same prayers to which we are accustomed ("Our Father", "Angel of God" and "Holy Mary") could evolve, and become evocations that Asia recites at the time of hunting or fighting, as if to propitiate his own luck and the outcome of his actions.
C.S. Lewis is interesting: maybe in Asia's new Christian religious vision, Aslan the Lion could be mixed with Jesus, what do you think?
Yes, I do remember that. In fact, I'd like to see, along with Finnish and Swedish wizards, Christian wizards as well....

Corvo, I kinda made that thing for my filler-story, with an attempt to bring a final death to a local Kade via East.Ortodoxal liturgy. So yeah, I think, prayers will work as well as pagan magick.
Really?
I took this idea from another work, a manga called Youjio Senki. You know it?

One prominent feature of the Catholic system is the position of the Pope. Italians could easily have been discussing what has happened in Rome and in the Vatican, during the first years when everyone in the shelter understood what that meant, and such tales could well have taken some interesting turns later, when the reality of the Old World slipped away and became first a story, then a myth. Add some independent thinking by a bright but unguided child, and she might for example think that the Pope is a supernatural being, possibly Jesus himself, and will be alive in the Vatican waiting for the faithful.
This is a very interesting idea.
Do you know the Legend about Frederick Redbeard, the legendary Emperor who, according to legend, sleeps inside a mountain waiting to return one day, should his people be in danger, to save them?
Maybe I could create something similar...

King Arthur Pendragon is likewise in Avalon waiting to return when needed. As is Väinämöinen, the hero / demigod of the Finnish epic Kalevala (he’s not in Avalon, he’s just away for the time being, although I think he also left by boat so maybe he’s staying with Arthur). Could well see such stories mingling together!
Indeed! Do you think something like this could happen to Christianity as well?

So yeah, I think, prayers will work as well as pagan magick.I look forward to this story. I got some CDs of russian orthodox lithurgy that I like a lot (from Chevetogne Abbey). I got them via my russian teacher some years ago.
The second coming of Christ would be another story with the same trope of waiting. And I’m interested in the magic and religion that Asia will use. There have been some very interesting ideas here and there’s so much material to work from. I’m not sure how realistic it is, but maybe older stories and historical events could get mixed up, turning the years where there had been three popes into an epic story, maybe they fought against eachother or had to do some quest to find out who was the real pope. O_o I don’t feel very qualified to answer your last question Corvo, since I don’t know a lot about how stories are told & retold, but do it anyway. I think it’s possible for mixups to happen, but maybe they need special circumstances. The Rash-crisis might provide some.
Maybe the liturgical objects like holy water, cross, host, mitre, bishop’s staff etc. serve as boons against ghosts and beasts?

Somewhat surprising seeing another catholic character although considering the Italian hereditage it is neatly explained. Never really thought about using the swiss bunker system (or something similar) which is a creative birthplace.
It was the most logical solution, in my opinion, to make a Western European legacy survive: the Swiss Bunker system is one of the best kept in the world (it is not by chance that jokes are often made about Switzerland being the best prepared country for the apocalypse) and it is relatively easier to reach, from Italy, than Iceland.
Wait, another Catholic character? Who are you referring to?
That is one good story. And did you know that Wavewright has written several stories that contain Christian mages? Those are good. Look up her work on Archive of our own. One of those stories has both Christian and Hindu magic, and I especially liked the nascent Christian child mage in ‘Thanksgiving at the Last Curry House in New Jersey’ telling her father, as they watch a young man manifesting Agni to kill a giant, something like “No Daddy, that’s not Jesus, that’s just some other god.” and then calmly proceeding to sing the released souls home. Delightful stories.
This is Impressive. You think I can borrow the idea (aka manifesting angels, archangels and saints to kill some giants and then singing to release the until-then trapped souls into their afterlife?

Indeed. Considering what Pastor A has been able to accomplish for 90 years, strong determination and willpower can accomplish many things. A character with very strong willpower will never give up, and until he gives up, it's not over.
It might be interesting to consider this as a quest for the Pope, whom she thinks of as a figure like Barbarossa or Vainamoinen or King Arthur who can be brought back from the Summerlands/ retrieved from under the mountain/tracked through the impenetrable mazes of the Vatican to save the world by a sufficiently determined hero!
It would not be a bad idea, especially if we can imagine a similar path to that of another character (which I do not name now because it does not belong to the universe of SSSS, but if you want, I'll write it as a spoiler)

Wait, another Catholic character? Who are you referring to?My OC Bismarck (which I later modified to use on the RP) is basically a catholic because his family would rather die than let their non-nordic beliefs and traditions get extinguished and he personally is fascinated with the old world. Not the most realistic but sometimes a family is really stubborn.

He seems like a very interesting character. Is she already part of the roleplay? I ask because, I would love in case our Oc's could meet?
Had a look at the Archive list and the other Wavewright story with a Christian mage was ‘Xeriscape’, which is about a Christian mage finding water in the desert while using the Lord’s Prayer as a protective wardspell. Good story. And she did another story, ‘Abide With Me’, with not a Christian mage but a troll who is held to sanity not by faith but by a devotion to music, who catches the attention of a young Sigrun with his heartfelt brass-instrument rendition of that Christian hymn.
They sound like wonderful stories. I could get a lot of interesting insights from them....

Post by: doorcf on March 21, 2021, 02:40:05 PM
I'd like to ask you a question:My original oc (Bismarck): surprised at finding another catholic, in many ways both of them couldn't be more different in upbringing and experiences, his curiosity about the old world would also see Bismarck try to help her in her quest both for information in the old world (and his faith on the side) and to possibly gaining more information for his research about the rash's connection with magic (bismarck doesn't really has any military experience, he would have gotten into an expedition for research reasons)
based on your understanding, what would your OC look like of my OC?
The RP oc (Alergo): Alergo meanwhile would be surprised seeing someone basically living all alone in the wilderness due to his experiences as a cleanser, while he would still be curious about the catholic faith and about italy after the fall, he would concentrate more on keeping the expedition safe and sound. He would appreciate Asia's survival skills and knowledge of the local area and infected too.
