ORIGIN

So this is a personal challenge of mine that I came up with. A while ago I posted that I was going to be doing full paintings of every single thread that I'm in...this was a very unrealistic idea and I obviously didn't go through with it. This time, however, I have a better idea in mind. A full-on challenge to do a drawing every day with the end goal of drawing/painting every thread my characters have completed.

A few rules before I begin:

1. Only threads that have been completed or are considered dead are eligible
2. If I decide to do a complex painting or a make a big thing out of it I can give myself up to 2 extra days to do it.
3. If I'm limited on time for a specific day I can choose an easy one to do
4. While Dead threads can still be drawn, I'm not required to do so. A day where I pick a dead thread I can choose to skip.
5. The length of thread determines the minimum complexity of each drawing:

Short: uncolored sketch
Medium: clean/partial color
Long: full color
Very long: full color + bg/full painting

If you're interested in following my stuff, I can ping you, either when I draw your characters or every time I post new art! Please let me know if you'd like a ping here or over discord! Feel free to add comments at any time, this isn't a closed thread! However, if you'd like to start your own challenge, please do so in another thread.

Now, let the art begin!


(mostly for me but here's a link to the spreadsheet where I keep track of all the threads)

A Flutter of Wings (Aka and Rift)

(Quest) Bone Fishing (Thothaga, Glory, Skeena, Scorch, Giggle, and the Collector)

O Eyes, What Have You Seen

Today's Drawing (12/11/2018) is awe and joy and terror, a short thread featuring Reseda at the hatching of a young tiger. However, since this thread is both dead and mostly unimportant to Reseda, I choose to skip this drawing.

(what a way to start lmao)

Today's drawing (12/12/2018) is Smoky Quartz, a short thread featuring Cocytus's hatching and a grumpy Lethe asking her to keep the noise down. I did a short little sketch today, maybe I'll do a little more later but this thread was quite short so I'll probably leave it like this.

Today's Drawing (12/13/2018) is bittersweet ballad, a short thread about a baby, dehydrated Aegir meeting Akos in Orion. I'll be skipping the drawing today since I burned myself out pretty bad yesterday and this thread died early. I may reroll later if I'm feeling better.

EDIT (12/14/2018): I changed my mind and decided to do a quick sketch of the thread. Enjoy!

Today's Drawing (12/14/2018) is A Flutter of Wings, the shared hatching thread of Rift and Aka. It's short but important, as it introduces Rift to his loud ear and the storm in Polaris. But still that does not explain why I WENT SO HARD ON THIS

Hey guys, sorry for missing the last couple of days. Work has left me pretty exhausted lately and I've barely had the energy to keep up with posts. I'll be doing some extra drawings in the next couple of days to make up for it.

Today's Drawing (12/17/2018) is fanciful which was going to be a thread between Aegir and Ayr, but April went inactive shortly after. So I won't be drawing it bc there really isn't anything to draw at all.

Today's Drawing (12/19/2018) is (Quest) Bone Fishing a long thread in which a party of gembounds discover the Collector and he gifts a special die to Thothaga. I have decided to do a full painting parodying The Creation of Adam. This will be both today's and tomorrow's drawing.

He is the current WIP, I will update it if I progress more before tomorrow:

don't forget the collector's horns

This is a masterpiece.

Continue.

I love all of these so much <3

I know...you have been waiting. I've fallen far, far behind. But I think the final product will make up for it as it took multiple days of doing a little bit to finally finish it.

So I present to you...

The Creation of Thothaga



Bone stock because I just couldn't paint bones.

Link to the Creation of Adam but M RATING Adam isn't wearing pants
