and now back to our reguarly scheduled programming

back to some more serious updates again.
first up, a couple doodles of Mav

next we have Hel as she is now and what her original character design was back when i first made her

in the name of the moon

because i can't seem to stop drawing my aesir characters as sailor scouts/senshi:

more Huginn and Muninn, the two that started this blasphemy


and a couple newcommers to the madness, Mishka and Nikita. because it makes so much more sense to have the manly russian characters in actual sailor fukus, right?

silly little doodle of Nikita, Huginn, and Muninn's reactions to all this foolishness



for whatever reason, these silly little things seem to be the bulk of my recent aesir sketches, so i'm using april fools day as an excuse to post more of them.

i promise i'll have a real update next time

a smidge of insanity

somehow i hadn't realized it had been a month since my last post @_@

first up, relevant things;
recently went through and added a couple of tags to posts.

and an older character i have that kind of got abandoned that i'm thinking of reworking for aesir (by which i mean soldat)



and second...
there is no rational explanation for why this exists
got bored the other day and somehow that ended with me drawing Huginn and Muninn as sailor senshi. that's right, unholy sailor moon/aesir crossover insanity
it was more amusing than it should have been lol

new year, new post

this post is so beyond overdue
i'm bad people

but on to the reason you're here:

first up; working on Skoll's scar/eye a bit


quick head shot of Mav, trying to get him to look how i want him to

random pic of Skade during or after a fight. should go back and to a full body version

random pic of Loki, trying out a slightly different hairstyle for her. and putting her in the shorter variant of the uniform, because i have a tendency to put the girls in the long coat and the guys in the short one for some reason

a couple random sketches. Loki using pyrokinesis, and Hel and Vili together

new faces ahoy.
this is Andrei, he's been around for a while, i could just never decide what he should look like until recently. also, he is a jerk

and a new character. this is Nikita, Nikita is a sniper

I've also been working on the story/plot a bit. i'll post some more about that when i get it re-summarized coherently

little tidbits

massive upload ahoy!

first up is a couple sketches of Vili, now that he actually has a face.

nest is the result of me getting bored and drawing everyone (everyone who currently has a character design anyway) as a chibi. and put some personality traits/ quirks/ general info with them, instead of being super vague like usual.

why do you looks so wrong with both your arms Mishka?








Skoll's always so pathetic looking
and his scar changed









and that's all for now

twins and tangents

what's this, more new faces? they would be Huginn (left) and Muninn (right).

now for a small explanation tangent;
the Aesir experiments- Vidar, Skoll, Hel, Loki, and Skade- previously had the designations of units 01-05 to indicate which prototype/experiment they were (these designations haven't been used on the blog). this has recently been changed slightly to account for there probably being more prototypes/experiments interspersed in there.

Generation 01- first round of prototypes: where Vidar fits in, along with others that most likely won't survive to the main point of the story (once they're eventually spawned). eventually discontinued due to a lack of satisfactory results.
Generation 02: Skoll, and eventually others. also discontinued.
- the first two generations attempted to mix human and animal genes. discontinued when the resulting experiments couldn't successfully pass as human/desired traits or abilities weren't achieved.
Generation 03: Hel, Vili (no design for him yet). this generation used more human subjects but tried to artificially produce psychokinetic abilities. ended because successful results were too hit-or-miss.
Generation 04: Loki, and probably others. final prototype round and a mixture of the forst three generations, eventually discontinued when results plateau.
Generation 05: Skade, Huginn & Muninn. first final/non-prototype round.

hopefully that either made a little bit of where the madness is going, or atleast placed some of the characters in relation to each other.


and a colored version of half of Mishka's comparison sketch from a while ago.
posting it now because it's been siting on my files for a while and i'm not sure when i'll get around to finishing the set.

line up again

small update this time.
added Loki and Hel to the height line up.



recap, left to right: Sin, Mav, Mishka, Skade, Loki, Hel

dusting off the blog

an update? no wai!
time to dust this thing off and start posting again now that all the crazy with school and graduation is finally over.

started putting together a height chart of the Soldat and Aesir characters:


for now we have left to right; Sin, Maverick, Mishka, and Skade.

and not to jinx it, but now that everything is starting to settle out, we should be able to get back to at least once a week updates

before and after

it should not have taken this long for a new post D8
in an attempt to make up for the wait have some multiple images

trying to get some sort of idea for how a few of my characters change over time.
quick ideas of how they might look pre-soldat and trying to actually make it look like theres an age difference post-during soldat. (i need to actually make a post explaining some of this sometime...)


first is Lucinda / "Sin"
next is Bain / "Maverick"
he's the only one thats ever had any sort of character designing for how he's look pre-soldat before this

and last we have Mikhail / Mishka
somehow he doesn't seem right with both arms. still need to desice how/when he actually loses it

need to actually come up with a soldat uniform for them (right now i just keep using variations of the outfits they were originally designed with)
*tangent*

little things

don't really have much to post, but was feeling a bit guilty for the lack of updates. So for now here's some chibis of Sin and Mav I did in class a while back.

chillin'

more pose practice

getting ready

The legs are off. But considering I was going from memory on a ref I haven’t looked at in ages, I’d say it came out okay.
Playing with poses some more

let's go

some practice with making things more dynamic
