Reposting old art of these two knuckleheads because burnout is real!

Today is my 28th Birthday and my father has cancer. DO NOT FEED INTO AI IMAGE GENERATTORS

1. I think the hardest Part about this is not only facing the unnown, 2. But I have to keep moving forward as if nothing is wrong. Because everything IS wrong. 3. I'm Still trying to grasp the fact that I have to deal with Cancer for the 2nd time in my life. 4. I Know and am grateful for the support from my community and family. But Still the "worst case "scenario lingers.

Despite my worries And my lack of wanting to celebrate - (Sister enters the frame) Hey. Dad Said there's time before his CT appointment to treat you to Lunch. Want some Birthday Tacos?

1. I'm coustantly reminded in the smallest, most subtle ways to take things slowly, day by day. 2. And no matter what haptens, I will be okay. Me speaking: Sure! Tacos Soun good. We'll see what happens. We'll handle it. We'll be okay. DO NOT FEED INTO ATMAGE GENERATORS

Well technically, yesterday was my birthday 🎂. But boy this past week has aged me like 3 years.

Hug your loved ones for me as a belated birthday present to me. 🫶

Hence why Safirou and his younger brother Zäelan are VERY concerned about him and make sure he doesn’t get himself killed with these experiments. 🥲

Top left is a portrait of male Rain at age 19 with a neutral smile on his face and next to Age 12 he looks like Rudo from Gaicyukuta 😜 Bottom right corner is a 3/4 view of rain looking chagrin, while someone’s yelling at him “YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND, DEMON!!” Rain: I’d be more offended if that wasn’t true. Bottom left is Tsrälan age 16 teasing rain about his height. “You’re still SO SMALL, Rain. You Sure you’re gonna get taller?” Male Rain age 15 Ya’know ONE OF THESE DAYS, I’m gonna make you eat your words.

Top left is Cannon Rain and her male counterpart locked in serious conversation. Male Rain: “ I need you to lock the fuck in. You’re embarrassing me.” Cannon Rain: “R-right! I’m sorry!” Bottom left is male Rain letting a poisonous centipede sting his arm cackling to himself as the pain and infection spreads. Female Tortan (named Toreläe) looking over her shoulder smiling with a Baby on her back saying “That’s my little mad healer.” in addition there’s a speech bubble of her mate Zäetan screaming “Do not encourage him, my beloved!!” Top right is male Rain, wearing a headband to cover his eyebrows, but he’s lifting one side of the bandanna to reveal said eye eyebrows. He usually hides his human features during big gatherings and festivals, so not to draw unwanted attention. But when people talk shit about him, he reveals that he’s was there for the whole time. 🤭 Middle right is Olo’eyketan Safiron (Tsahìk Safiryae) chastising Rain for hurting himself. Safiron: “Boy! Were you testing poisons on yourself AGAIN?!” Male Rain: “well, yeah. I had to test on SOMETHING to find the antidote.” Bottom right is a simple 3/4 view of Male Rain drinking something from a cup with a sinister knowing smile on his face. This is an Apothecary Diaries reference that I wanted to include 🫠 “Fi’u txum.” (This is poisoned)

GENDERBENT RAIN IN COLOR!
He’s such a menace I love him. 😍

Visiting my partner in the winter is both invigorating and culturally shocking 😳

It’s worth it though. 🥰

Some oc art with Blaze and Sosul. Since these two are children of Varang they will no doubt have sibling banters and such as all siblings do. This was really fun to draw and I’m working on part 2/3 of this as a mini comic.
(Sosul belongs to @shipooky.bsky.social) #navioc #avatarfireandash #naviart

A collection drawings featuring Rain with her hair down and washing it. Plus a mini comic on the bottom left corner with a new hairstyle! For context Rain does not like her hair in her face nor does she like it down. So she usually keeps it in a simple, single braid with side braids, framing her face. But in the bottom left corner, she hasn’t half up half down hairdo 💇‍♀️ The mini comic reads Rain: You truly think this style suits me? Chibi Tsrälae: Yes!! You look beautiful!

I… I didn’t realize how different rain would look with her hair down. I might keep this design in my pocket.

Redemption Arc goddamnit AutoCorrect

a raccoon is sitting on its hind legs with its hands folded in prayer . Alt: a raccoon grinning evilly, and with its fingers twiddling as hatching an evil plan

Truuuuuueeee! And because that the sibling is a coward, running away from responsibility of their powers, it gives way to a subplot of them learning to use their powers responsibly.

that’s an epic journey and red redemption aren’t waiting to happen

On the flip side, their sibling inherited the God like powers of their parents and is either a chaotic neutral mess or the main villain of the story

I was hopping off a doomscroll 😆 soooo there’s the influence

A collaage of simple sketches of Rain genderbent. I’m gonna go over how his personality and development differs from Cannon Rain but I will say he’s definitely more blunt and wittier than she is. I’m also considering making him more like Maomao from the apothecary diaries testing poisons and toxins on himself and getting himself into trouble with his knowledge of herbs and medicine. But we will see. The bottom left-hand corner is a short interaction with Tsrälae (Trsälan in this AU) that goes as follows “You’re still so small rain, you sure you’re gonna get taller?” “ Ya’know one of these days I’m gonna make you eat your words.”

Genderbent Rain because why not? I’m bored.

Very loose sketch of Rovan and Storm in a dynamic battle pose.

Young Rain and Zäela sharing a hug. But something is amiss. Zäela is shedding a tear, is it due to pregnancy hormones or is it something else? We don’t know.

A wip of A’kan taking Rain’s hand. Is he asking her to dance or, asking her to go with him on an adventure? You decide

Teen Rain cupping a fragile flower from Tifnutralok tree. “Trees of Slience” where the Tunngay lay their dead. There’s a collage of cracked memories behind Rain, representing her fragmented memories.

Some old and new wips that I may or may never finish.
