Keeping Company

keeping company 🕯️

My bf bought an apple tablet and a pencil for it. I visited him this past week and he let me play with it. I ended up downloading Procreate and playing with it. I drew four doodles while I was there lmao. I might need to buy my own tablet for drawing. It's just super easy to use Procreate with the minimal knowledge I have of digital art programs. So here is Minerva in his favorite shell and a Chalco Yong sketch!

This season is just going to be a lot of Eido art. I am halfway through one. I have an idea to draw her work area and all the fun stuff on it. I have a Festival of the Lost Witch costume Eido idea. Probably Eido and Bubo making some tonics and queens foil together. Maybe my warlock and Eido on a date? I have many drawing ideas and many screenshots of her model now.

Me making a ton of Chalco Yong art and fifty bagillion headcannons about her

When you read the lore and find a character you really like, but find virtually nothing on that character in terms of fan art and/or that character is rarely referenced in game.

This is so sad,Ghost, play The Last Array.

So I've wanted to come up with a better way to draw Chalco's leg armor. I really like the large strap things I give her and I'm fine with boots, but like I just kinda keep her leg armor simple. But I want it to be a bit more detailed for larger pieces. Well, I found some random hunter in the tower with some good leg drip.

I tried drawing it on Chalco with some modifications to fit her aesthetic a bit more and really like them! Then I finally looked up what this set was for, and realized it's the Assassin's Creed armor set. So Chalco is an Assassin's Creed creed girlie. She found an old copy of the game on some golden age computer and made it into her fashion. Actually maybe this is why we have these armor sets to begin with in universe lol.

yknow destiny wasn't the first media I got into that had queer rep but it was the first media I consumed personally that treated it like it was a normal way of just... being. it doesn't have to be an entire thing, people can just exist like that. Of course Osiris and Saint-14 are in love, why wouldn't they be? Nimbus uses they/them pronouns because what else would they use? (there are so many more examples but we'd be here all day) It shifted how I looked at representation in media and in my own writing: why does it have to be a big deal all the time? What if we were just allowed to exist like cishet people do in media I see everyday? And Destiny is an fps! with the exact kind of community you'd expect a game like that to have!

anyway in conclusion destiny is fucking incredible and I'm so thankful that it exists so I can finally see people like me exist in a space where people often try their best to erase that
