Yeah it can! c: Thank you ♥

Aw thanks, Ri!

Thank you so much!

Aw gosh, thank you so much! I'd really like to utilize toyhouse to make simpler refs and have more of a character profile. Hopefully it will help me not spend so long on them - but hopefully also people still like them ;u;

Ha!! I think Di is kinda reaching 'weird' with the proportions xD

Thanks! The neck marking represents a spell that prevents Di from using magic. In its passive form, it has 'open' areas. Di puts the spell on himself and likes to give its appearance an artistic flair. It can look like anything as long as the openings are minimal.

Gosh thanks so much! Huge compliment ;u;

Thank you so much ;u; I'm going to try to make simpler ones so they don't take so long. But hopefully everyone will still enjoy the polish! I'm going to upload the simpler refs to toyhouse (that way i dont need to put every form on 1 ref) and have the text on the character page instead of the ref c:

Haha you're right I'm addicted xD!
The lore behind his corrupted form has changed, so now he is not so fleshy and torn (I only kept the face for nostalgia even though it doesn't make sense with the new lore). Though the answer is yes that it is a wound and painful to him!

Aww my gosh thank you so much. It's good to make them again xD I'm going to try to make them simpler and utilize toyhouse to make folders of refs (so i dont have to put every form on one ref) and page text instead of a novel ON the ref. It seems more doable that way.

Thank you so so much, Rai!

Thank you always for your compliments, sav! cx

Ahhh thank you so much, Stas! I think it really brought his design together.

Omg wing pro likes my feathers uwu
Thank you! I wanted the peacock feathers to look like the snuggliest softest feathers imaginable hehe.

LOOK AT MY BOY. Oh my gosh it is just a real treat to see him in your style. This made my whole week!! The way you do hair and little snakey noodle poses is just fantabulous ;o;

@shinerai.bsky.social 's character Di

Kind of! This is what Di is supposed to look like, but he is afflicted with some sort of corruption. The 2nd ref I make will be the corrupted form. But in reality he is usually only looking partially corrupted so I'll make a 3rd ref that blends the two.

You're telling me! What a pain in the ass, no one will ever draw him (including me) xD This is his 'pure' form and there is a corrupted form. But in reality he usually exists somewhere between the two. So the corrupted form will get its own ref and then I'll make a ref where the forms are blended.

Gosh, thanks so much! Well, I've got a few others in the works hehe.

Aw gosh that is so heartwarming to hear, thank you! I've always really enjoyed making them, haha. I am going to try to make them a bit simpler (separating the forms, not so much text) now that I'm using Toyhouse. Really appreciate your compliments.

I uploaded them to stash for the dA description and now stash is broken! It must have been too much for dA to handle.

Hopefully by now no one is surprised that I like to make refs. Here's my latest one of Di. It'll take 2 more refs to get a complete picture of this form of his.

Shh no they are just relocated.

He looks fantastic, my friend! What a moody piece, and those zip zaps are just delightful.

Finished work for @savrin.bsky.social !

It's very bloo, and was very relaxing to work on

Have a nice day/night! 💙

Aw gosh, it isn't weird, thank you for sharing with me. I don't get nearly as much time to draw these days and it always fills my heart to hear that someone remembers me from back then. Hope to keep seeing you around c:

sddfas thank you, Frosty ;o;

Thank you bb cx

I'm so glad to hear you like him ;u;

Alcyoneus for @swiftyuki.bsky.social from a recent xchange! This time we were just making avatars.
