Fanart Time - Blog Posts

Here’s a late-night doodle of another member of my Glasshouse OCs: Silver, Razor's teammate and a ruthless wreck of a man. Morose, anxious, and a perpetual pessimist, he's not the ideal Glasshouse graduate, but his infiltration and trapping skills make him a useful asset so long as the others are there to keep him on track. A good rule of thumb is if he's been around, you should watch your step and keep an eye on the sky, lest you stumble into something that might take a bite out of you... I plan to have some refs out for them all at some point where I can share more info, but in the meantime, all you basically need to know is a good chunk of his playlist is IAMX songs.

I really need to start posting art here more, so here, have a fake screenshot from last year.

For those unaware, this is everyone's favorite technopathic clone and a H.I.V.E. OC of mine- Razor, a "graduate" from Raven's year who unfortunately did not get picked up by Nero during the raid on the Glasshouse. He and his team like to make that a problem for everyone, but Razor specifically takes issue with Otto for blowing up Furan's hand and getting her imprisoned. (You could say he's rather attached to her- a lack of parental figures will do that to you. So don't even get me started on his feelings on Raven...) As for the art, I was taking inspiration for the art style of Netflix's Carmen Sandiego (my beloved). If you like animation I highly recommend it! This screenshot definitely shows its age, but I'm still quite pleased with it; I should really try out this style again sometime.

If anyone has any questions about Razor, by all means ask away! He and his team are some of my favorite ocs and I love to ramble : D

G.I. Joe: My Version #2, this time with everyone's favorite morally questionable ninja! I always thought the backstory from the live-action films was really interesting, so that's what I'm basing him off of. Since that means Zartan's gang is involved, my SS design takes inspiration from protective cyclist gear, which blends surprisingly well with the ninja armor styles of the series. He's also got a bit more of a punk-ish vibe to fit with his Dreadnoks origin. The face paint is to reference both Zartan’s mask(?) and Zander’s face paint, along with paralleling the cheek scar for backstory reasons. I also thought it might be fun to include music that fits the vibes of these redesigns, so here's SS's:

(Backstory + extra stuff below the cut! Also, if anyone has any asks or anything for this, by all means ask away! It helps me figure out how I want things to go.)

Storm Shadow was an arrogant child who used his position in the clan to make enemies rather than friends, so when his uncle was killed with Storm's weapons, no one argued that he was innocent of the crime. He had no choice but to flee for his life... right into the path of the shapeshifting assassin Zartan (who was also, suspiciously in the area on "business." You can guess what kind). Having a ninja seemed useful, so SS was swiftly drafted into the Dreadnoks, where he became a loyal, if difficult assassin; he sees the bikers and their leader as his true family now, and he takes on a younger-brother-ish role in the group. It wasn't the most responsible way to grow up and his maturity reflects that, but he's still a powerful fighter, and through Zartan's machinations, another clan of ninjas has recently adopted him as their leader. Unbeknownst to Zartan, however, he's also got a secret weapon of his own he's been hiding, something he picked up on a trip to Arashikage territory... Other things: - He has a bike of his own; teaching him to drive is one of the Dreadnoks' favorite memories with him. - He still has the dual katanas that can fuse, however, they are not Arashikage; they're from the Red clan. - He is genuinely liked by the bikers, who will usually call him "Slash" (he's not too fond of the nickname but doesn't care enough to complain). Zartan is the only one that really uses Storm Shadow. - He struggles with mixing ninja traditions with the biker aesthetics of the Dreadnoks, and will switch between outfits depending on who he's with. - Occasionally uses British curses, then gets embarrassed over it.

I have been on a massive G.I. Joe kick this weekend, so here's a "redesign" of everyone's favorite wannabe overlord. His concept is already pretty much perfect, I just wanted to combine some of my favorite aspects from different designs into one; I'm thinking about having my own version of the G.I. Joe world since my favorite versions of the characters are all over the place. Anyways, love this guy and his stupid squeaky voice. I included the sword from Resolute + some glass needles full of algesic venom- the perfect weapon for him. Just jab someone and leave them to scream while you make a tactical retreat.

Tapetum Lucidum

Binged The Day of the Jackal this weekend while downed with a cold- enjoying it a lot so far! I love both of the main leads disasters and I need them to meet face-to-face soon (and fight perhaps, I'd like that too. With words or weapons, I'm not picky.)

H.I.V.E.mber Prompt 9: Ruby

In my head NumberOne-Verlord's mindscape form is various kinds of terrifying; he's the agonized amalgamation of Otto's father and the digital parasite that destroyed him from the inside out. That should be all kinds of messed up.

Goth Queen

I'm behind on fanart posting, so here, have a lazy 3 AM Contessa from a while back.
