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

summary with a dash of backstory

sorry for the massive inactivity lately, things got kinda crazy with moving, work and life in general.

no pictures this time, but i do have an update for you guys.
since i've never actually given a real explanation of the story, and i'm sure you're all like 'what is this madness', now's as good a time as any to try and give a decent summary.

Ther

The story takes place on earth, following a slightly alternate timeline of history to allow for the necessary technology.

‘Aesir’ was begun as a Cold War era project with Soldat. The aim of the project was to create highly specialized/ super soldiers. Soldat was conceived and funded by the Soviet government.

It was eventually decided that Soldat wasn’t providing satisfactory results- too many variables with subjects, high mortality rate, etc., the project was replaced with Aesir. Aesir was meant to be a replacement/ version 2.0 of the original aim of Soldat. By this time the Cold War had ended, the project was continued without Soviet involvement and funded privately.

The initial Aesir experiments were a fusion of human and animal DNA to try to create superior reflexes/ senses, etc. later experiments also returned to the genetically engineered human roots of Soldat.

e were two phases to Aesir- the original experiments (first through fourth generations) at the first lab which were eventually scrapped as prototypes, and the fifth generation which yielded more satisfactory results and effectiveness.

The labs where Soldat/Aesir take place are in Germany (no specific location yet, but probably somewhere in the area that was East Germany). Currently have the lab/company going by Schützen (been renamed about as often as some of the characters, but schützen seems to be sticking for now lol)

current character roster (if only to get it down in one coherent list instead of all over the blog) :
Soldat: Maverick, Sin, Mishka, Andrei
Aesir generation 1-4: Vidar, Skoll, Vili, Hel, Loki
Aesir generation 5: Skade, Huginn, Muninn
and as was mentioned in a previous post, there are various other background/ KIA before the story characters that haven't really popped into existence yet

questions about anything that wasn't explained here? feel free to drop a question here or the fanpage about it

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

small update is small

some more working out Vidar's new design. and some partially cut off notes to myself lol.

don't really have much else to add this time, other than the internet apparently didn't want this update to happen.
