My Artfight Attack-card.

I found more. Holy shit, there are some good drawings I did last year. I'm still wondering how I did them.

Name: Zero

Age: 19

Gender: human - male

Ability: code sight

Backstory

After Zero fell to the underground, he gained his strange power to see the world around him in code. Over time he befriended Monsterkind and even found a monster he fell in love with. He developed a technique to change the code of objects he is seeing. One day, his love dies due to an unknown disease. In all his grief, Zero deletes his worlds and discovers that other Aus exist. Then he creates the place he calls 'backdoors'  to have a place to stay between worlds. After some time has passed and he watched several AUs, he saw Ike accidentally destroying his own AU and being the only survivor. First, he didn't plan on interacting, but in the end, his humanity got the better of him and since then, he's taking care of Ike and acting as his older brother.

Abilities

Zero sees the world differently than others. He can see the code of objects. He can also summon a holographic keyboard and screens. He developed a technique where he would add changes to code into a window and then attach that window to a certain object to change it.

Appearance

He is wearing an armless grey cloak, which is glowing cyan from the inside. The light blue stripes on his cloak and boots glow a little in the dark. He has fingerless dark grey gloves and shoulder plates attached to his right arm. These shoulder plates are for him to defend himself in case of close combat. Below his cloak, he is wearing his training outfit. He has a cyan streak in his hair and his left eye is only a blue ring. That eye is directly connected with his powers.

Personality

Before his love died, Zero promised her to not change. Due to that and his soul trait being integrity, he kept his distance from all Aus and decided to not interact. After taking care of Ike, the boy almost forced him with his cherish mood to open up and from time to time interact with other Aus to get Ike out of trouble. By now, Ike grew like a little brother to him and Zero is more than happy to be his cool big bro.

I wanted to talk more about the coloring. I layered the colors in this way:

Base color - red

Shadows - dark red

Base color again (even over the shadows) - red

Shadows again - dark red

Alternate base color over everything - pinkish red

Darken shadows - black

I use the black to mute the color a little.

And now I am applying moderate pressure to get a more vibrant red. When coloring I also like to start with the most vibrant color to be able to match the other less vibrant colors to the apperance.

But in the end the order which part I color first doesn't matter that much.

Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.

Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume

Can't wait to line and color it 😀

Update: after some procastination, I finally managed to do the lineart and yeah, the hand still looks to me a little whonky. But this is the biggest thing I've ever drawn except ugly drawings in school 😀

I'm still thinking about if I should color it or go for a more comic like style. But I love that piece already ❤️

Hiii, it's been a long time. A lot going on in real life currently.

I found myself something new to be obsessed with and I am also slowly changing to original art supplies. IDK why, but it's currently more fun to draw on paper than on my tablet.

I doubt that I'll ever start posting frequently.

A little WIP:

And here also the reference, if you want to see:

It's been quite a while ...

Thought I might post a couple more drawings.

I once did a drawing of Deku from MHA but ... I would put it into uncanny valley territory. So, I'm redrawing him again.

Take a bald Deku 😆

And here the version I did before:

Sooo, I am doing a short animation again ... (at least I'm trying) and currently I hit a roadblock.

I can't decide if I want sunset or night. What do you think? I'm open for suggestions.

I'm going like for a mixture of sad and hopelessness which turns into hopefulness in the end.

btw, please ignore that these characters look unfinished because they are XD

Chapter 1

Okay, I've changed my mind. Here you have the entire first chapter 😁

<…>

I saw one of my holograms suddenly shine white. As the light was gone again, I was only able to see a silhouette being left in a white void. I stared at the scene. Was I supposed to … Should I intervene? … I shouldn't. I shouldn't interact with other AUs. I laid my head on the table. It was supposed to happen that way …

Somehow, I still was staring at the screen. I should probably just simply ignore that, turn off the screen and continue with … Yeah, I mean with whatever I'm doing right now. Not caring …

The dark dot left on the screen still didn't move. Why couldn't I just ignore that? It's just another AU that got destroyed. But something was different from the other ones. I couldn't quite yet figure out what it was, but there was something special about that AU. Something that dragged my attention ...

I got up, annoyed, and teleported to the AU. Maybe I could stop thinking about it if I paid that place a visit. The moment I arrived there, I was greeted by an uneasy feeling. That emptiness … it was way too familiar … I suppressed my upcoming memories and realised that this world had no trace of its source code anymore. It was entirely empty …

I clenched my fists and went to the only thing left in this AU, a boy lying unconsciously on the floor. He was wearing an orange shirt and had short curly hair. His clothes were torn and he had several cuts along his limbs. I also noticed bandages along both of his arms, which also were torn.

I started to skim his code, hoping to gather more information.

Name: Ike,

HP: 4/99,

LV: 20 … 20?!

That boy was a genocider! Then it's probably no surprise that this AU looks like that. He probably destroyed it. I just wonder how he did it and if he is a threat ... Should I get rid of him? I know I didn't want to interact but …

Then I noticed that his HP dropped to 3. They were still sinking. Why, thou? Honestly, it shouldn't matter to me. I can just leave, he will die, as it's supposed to happen, and I don't need to worry about a possible threat. I turned around, ready to teleport back… but I hesitated.

I swore to myself that I did NOT want to interact with ANY AU out there. Then why did I hesitate? Was it because of the way this world reminded me of mine? I looked at him. I should just leave and pretend as if nothing happened.

His HP dropped by another point. God, why was this so hard to decide?! I clenched my fists, turning away from him. After a couple of seconds, still not being able to leave, I went back, opened up my terminal and set his HP back on 99.

After some seconds, he woke up. As he realized me standing next to him, he crawled backwards. I took a step back, preparing for him to immediately attack me, but he didn't do anything. He panicly looked left and right, "W-Where am I?! Who…?" He didn't finish that sentence and kept staring at me in fear.

I was confused. I expected him to attack me. He is a genocider. That's what these kinds of people do, kill everything they see until there is nothing left. But he acted more ... like a confused child. Could it be one of those cases where another soul controls him? But in that case, I should be able to see their code …

I relaxed a little since he didn't seem to be a direct threat … at least by now. I lifted up my hands, "I'm not going to harm you, okay?" He kept staring at me for another second until he seemed at least a little calmer. He grabbed his head, "Ouch, what happened? Why does my head hurt so bad?"

As he pulled his hand back, he panicked again. It was covered in red. He started to breathe quickly. I hunched down and held him by his shoulders, "Hey, you need to calm down. It won't help that you're panicking right now! You're going to be alright, okay?" He looked at me in surprise and nodded, finally calming down again. Then I noticed that his HP dropped again to 98. Why was it still decreasing?

I let go of him, still hunched down and started to explain, "I'm afraid I don't know what happened here. I found you here as I was … just passing through." The boy looked at the several cuts along his arms, "I … I know what happened … I guess. It's just quite blurry, but I think it comes back …"

Then he seemed to be thinking loudly, "I was at Waterfall watching Undyne and Papyrus train together. Then … Then some monsters came panicly to us, telling us that there were some murderers running around. Undyne advised Papyrus to tell everyone else and temporarily evacuate the Underground … Then I was in Snowdin. Why was I in Snowdin? …" He suddenly jumped up, "The Ruins! I need to go back and warn them!"

Then he fell, but I caught him, "Calm down! You need to be careful. You might feel well right now, but it's not the case. I refilled your HP but that doesn't heal your physical injuries. And if you couldn't see it by now, you're injured pretty badly." His HP dropped again. That was so peculiar. I couldn't come up with a reason for that happening. There was no such thing as a weapon stuck inside of him, so what else could be the reason?

Instead of listening to what I said, he pushed me away, "I need to warn them! Nobody else knows that they're still there!" I let him go. I was annoyed. He clearly didn't want my help. I responded angrily, "Then go ahead! Where do you even want to go now?! Everything is gone!" I stopped. My words were the exact thoughts I had, as I lost my world. I have been confused, I have been sad and I didn't know what to do back then. That boy was currently living through the same thing … Just that he wasn't alone.

He stared at me with teary eyes, "What? … What do you mean by that?" I didn't want to say it out directly, "Based on your reaction, I guess that you already know what I want to tell you … I'm sorry." Then he stared at the floor, "N-No. That … That can't be true …" As he started crying, I walked over and took him in my arms. I knew this awful feeling quite too well, "It's okay ..."

After he calmed down again, I smiled at him, "… We'll figure something out, okay? First, we need to find out what exactly happened here. Do you want to help me with that? Because I won't be able to figure that out on my own." He wiped his last tears away, "O-Okay."

I realised that I completely forgot that he was a genocider. That boy acted too peculiar for his role. I was also confused by the story he told me. It seemed that he was getting along quite well with the others from the Underground. That didn't match his stats at all… Whatever happened, I needed to stay careful and keep that in mind. I still had no clue if he was planning something … For now, the best I could do was gather more information to be able to estimate his motives …

I looked at him again, "By the way, you can call me Zero." He responded, "My name is Ike…" I explained, "... Just so you don't get scared, Ike, I' will now teleport us to my place, okay?" As I opened up my terminal, his eyes lightened up, "Woah, that's cool! How did you do that?" His excitement made me smile, "I'll show you later." Then I teleported us to my place.

<…>

Aaaaand that's how my two little beans met for the first time 😃

I really hope that I'll finish another project that I am currently working on, so I can continue with new character sheets...

Drawing is hard.

It's sooooo difficult to draw a character from three different angles and still make him look the same. I am currently worn out with digital art, so I thought I might sketch a little in my sketchbook and oh boi, I really need to learn how to draw a fave properly in 3/4 view (looks funny right now 😂)

Since I don't think my sketches are worth posting yet, I can show you what I drew so far. The lore to them will follow in soon posts (and maybe I'll also be able to post a couple of good sketches alongside 😊)

That's my first character Ike.

And that's my second character Zero.

I also have two other characters that I've included in the plot but I haven't made that detailed character sheets of them yet. I guess it's best to post them later as I explain their lore in more detail.

(If you're interested in more things I drew, you can also check out my devianart. I would appreciate it 😊)

Okay, it's the next day by now but I'm done!

Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.

Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume

Can't wait to line and color it 😀
