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 thing

random pen sketches done in boredom at work

it started out like

this kinda looks like Alexis?? an older alexis. Im gonna draw Karri

but then I realized I needed more space for the hair and turned the page

so here's another Karri, and a blorptroll, and a Haiz, and a Fimby....

and from there it kinda escalated into "WHICH SONAS DO I REMEMBER THE DESIGN OF"

so it's a Y0 dremworld lauf, attempt at Lára with her hair loose, i'm sorry to say i attempted Karna, then there's koalalou, Julian, Marja, Gwenno and a tiny Unlos


and then Trinka, Janni, Sára... and ME AGAIN i mean mage!haiz. I tried to draw the weird haircut I currently have

sorry you guys turned out so weird hahahaha
you'll know where to find me.

FLOOMF. It's perfect.
also the whole 'self-gothic' thing is hilarious and I wanted to get in on the act
Spoiler: show

RTR is drawing. RTR does not want to draw. She hates drawing. But she cannot stop. The tears fall on the paper as she tries vainly to stop. The art is all. It has consumed her.
RTR wants to read a new book. The book is finished. She reads another. It too is finished. And another. And it is finished. All the books are finished. She still wants to read a new one. But there are no new ones.
"Take down your hair," you ask. She does. You did not know. The scrunchie was there to protect you.
She sings. It is loud. It is high. You beg her to stop. She will not stop. She grows louder and higher. She is singing "Pick A Bale of Cotton." Over. And over. And over. She is inventing new verses. There is no escape.
RTR is wearing glasses. You look again. She is no longer wearing glasses. You blink. She is wearing glasses again. Then the glasses are gone. Can she see you right now? You do not know.
"My sibling," she says. It is not the same sibling. It is never the same sibling.
"I have things to do," she says. The things are not done. The things will never be done.
"Post a selfie?" You ask. There is silence. Then a picture. It is not a selfie. Selfies do not exist. There is no RTR.
... Texas ... is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it....

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I logged on because my internet's is stable again and I wanted to check out all the amazing art. I love it!  ;D
I am glad you like it! :D

She better not walk with it outside though, wouldn't want some triggerhappy "Emil"-type person sending panicky lead their way.

*nods*

Love the pose!! =D She really looks like she's flying throug the air!

Thank you, the pose was really fun to do, (and now I have a ton of wonderful poses to look up after being nudged in the direction of parkour)

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.)

Gothic is.. scary (hides under pillow)

North (pose was inspired by this - yes that was where I found that other one too)

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).

I'm not too happy with this but this is the best my skills allow right now:




Lúðvík Davíðsson

Age: ……..yes. Uh, I mean, 35, I think?
Nationality: ……..Icelandic, duh.
Area of birth: ……..Reykjavík
Gender: ……..who cares male
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?"

[raises hand] Is this the place where people post their self-inserts / SSSS OCs? is that still okay or has that ship already sailed

I love the art here!! Unlos, the poses and perspectives are amazing!! (and thank you so much for the colouring tutorial eSPECIALLY THE LAYER CLIPPING THING) + Rollo, for some reason, your art kind of reminds me of Quentin Blake's art style- it's very free and expressive! I love Lúðvík's personality ehehehe ;w;

Yep! Anybody can join at any time. (Although I think this thread tends more towards self-based OCs.)

Yes!! And no, never! Always make more SSSSonas! :D

also, a partial PSA for those slightly concerned, the karri gothics were probably meant to go in the alternaverse thread. from now on when i complete animations i'll put them there

oH I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I LOVED THE GOTHICS and they are extremely creepy but cool ;w; also the milder ones reminded me of WTNV but that makes sense, since that's pretty much their gimmick?

I'm working on an OC right now which is... vaguely related to me? But not enough to be classified as a self-based OC. Is it still okay to post it here when I'm done?

If the connection too vague, you could always post it in the OC Showcase thread!
