Ray And Shade - Tumblr Posts
Meet Ray and Shade! ☀️🌑
I’ve drawn them since 2019, this drawing is from 2021 which was what made me like them a lot and made me start drawing them more!
They’re superhero characters, Ray has light powers and Shade has dark powers (surprising, I know)
They go to this academy/centre place to hone their skills to become heroes, they live together as roommates there. I’d like to create a story with them one day 👀
Another drawing of Shade, from 2021. Gave him some more colour, I remember liking his hair a lot (and I still do) 💜🖤
My character Ray with a redesigned training suit, I went with a more neutral palette for it 🤍🖤
Some doodles of my oc Ray from 2022, when I was trying to figure out his colour palette ☀️
One of the first versions of Shade’s hero costume from 2022 💜
Plus a small doodle dump of other iterations below:
Mr. Lightheart, Ray’s father. He’s a renowned superhero in his and Ray’s home city. He has light powers and Ray inherited them as well (powers are genetic in this world, many have them - but only some decide to go into heroism)
This design was from 2022, I wanted to start figuring out his colour palette, I’ll share his more updated design later on ✨ ☀️✨
Ray as a Green Lantern! I quite liked this doodle hehe
There’s two versions with his hair being a bit more green 💚✨
A suit design for Shade (from 2022). I was thinking of these bat-like wings made with dark energy or something along those lines. I liked how this looked tbh, I might revisit it again! 🦇
Future hero! Shade in an old design of his suit, on night patrol hehe, just some doodles from 2022 that I liked 🌙🖤
Doodle of Shade demonstrating his dark powers, which allow him to create and manipulate dark matter/energy to create appendages, constructs, for offence etc
He hopes you’re impressed 🖤
Ray and Shade both have pets that live with them! ☀️☁️
Ray has this little winged puffball thingy, and Shade has a sentient cloud that can change shape and acts like a cat ✨
Ray in his casual outfit, his hair is a bit different here, after some stuff happening in his story hehe. What do you think? ☁️ 🌈 ☁️
Also... heart eyes?? 💕
Shade is a vampire now! 🧛🏻♂️
Well, he’s been one for a while 😅 this happened after a friend told me he kinda looked like one, and then I started imagining an AU where he was one… and then I liked the idea of him being one so much that… I decided to make him one from the get go hehe. Here’s one of the first doodles of him as one I did, really liked this one 🖤
Coffee hangout ☕️ ✨
I quite liked the lighting and colours in this one :)
