QRP progress with an OC's face!

Here's Yaoshe ("demonic snake"), a major villain from my Out of Memory webcomic. He has the second most illustrations among my cast, so I decided to show how he evolved over time and across mediums 🐍.

Nyth has looked great from Day 1, love the variety of expressions you've drawn and the sweet / playful interactions :).

It makes sense that they would have different problems. I've seen a couple series depict the more "divine" species as having more internal politics and corruption, and the more "demonic" species as more chaotic. It aligns with the general perception of gods / angels being more organized xD.

It sounds like the weaker angels have the shorter end of the stick - depending on the era, it might be nearly impossible to get new followers without supernatural intervention / granting wishes (is that allowed?). Can they band together and form their own pantheon / religion?

That suggests the angels (theoretically) have a lot of options - it'd be rare for every dimension to reject the divine at the same time, unless it was orchestrated.

Do most spellcasters self-teach, or do they generally have a formal education? It feels like one would need a high level of self-awareness to go the self-taught route.

Same, I always battle with the same team cause I'm just in it for the dust xD. Does purification randomly re-roll all the stats?

That's a legitimate reason, liking one's attire is very important - and it makes sense he would pick an adjacent career rather than something that's totally different 😁. Let the knights do the brute force fighting xD.

I feel you - I had a lot of food allergies as a kid and was stuck with very limited options. Gluten and corn are both tough allergies to have, I'm surprised no one offers a corn-free option (hope a new player enters the market!) 😅.

'timefall (sing to me)'

i was wondering what fanart i should do to celebrate 200 but ended up with self-indulgent death stranding 🎮 piece i always wanted to do but didn't feel like i could do it justice. i'll probably do something less dreary when i have the spoons 💕

I think certain spoilers ex. X is actually a double agent, the big bad, related to one of the protagonists can negatively impact engagement if spoiled or not built up properly - unless it's a widely known fact (ex. Darth Vader's identity), or doesn't affect the plot enough to erase the tensions xD.

I used to read every series to completion, but now that I'm older and have less time to invest in new series, I'd rather choose series where my favorites (or the characters who are likely to be my favorites) make it to the end...

I can relate - most of my favorite fictional characters are dead or almost certain to die...unless it's a family-friendly story like Pokemon and Miraculous Ladybug, their safety isn't guaranteed 😂.

Oh dear, I feel that would de-motivate artists who put a ton of effort into their work 😅. That said, it's a good strategy - have each team member create some background characters who are easy to draw, then rack up tons of points 😆.

I hope the situation in his home country's improved - not having access to clean water really takes a toll on one's body and psyche 😰.

Both are highly risky power-ups, could a Scourge Devil potentially create multiple Districts as backups or would that be too costly to maintain?

Your drawings are so gorgeous, I love the level of detail in each of them ❤️. P.S. MXTX's characters look so beautiful in your style! I've only read TGCF & your art is making me consider reading her other works xD.

I like that there's a balance / stalemate between the two - some stories make one species significantly stronger that the rest, and it makes a lot of the tensions and conflicts seem over-hyped 😅.

Intimidation / persuasion is a useful skill for de-escalating conflicts ;). Shows skill on the villain's part 😁
