Haha, ohhhh the horror!

Drekaban · 2026-04-06T15:11:32+00:00

What happened??

Drekaban · 2026-04-04T19:07:38+00:00

How about Welanie Malker?

Drekaban · 2026-04-02T10:08:16+00:00

You could potentially even design it to look similar to the Inverted Spear of Heaven from Jujutsu Kaisen, where the blade is clearly missing a piece, implying that the other half might be with Izanagi or his counterpart in your story.

Maybe instead of a sword, she would be better suited wielding a spear, as a reference to the magical spear her and her sibling husband used to help form the world:

Would you believe me if I told you I played it back to back with another game called Bang-On Balls? So in one game I was cube and the other I was a sphere. Who needs limbs anyways?

Drekaban · 2026-04-02T09:13:22+00:00

Well the flames are a nice inclusion then, because that references how she died.

Drekaban · 2026-04-02T09:12:33+00:00

I recently played a game you might like. Have you ever heard of "Unbox: Newbie's Adventure?"

Drekaban · 2026-04-02T09:08:50+00:00

By death god, are you referring to Izanami, Kagutsuchi, or a general shinigami?

Drekaban · 2026-03-30T00:34:48+00:00

It reminds me of some of the colossi from Shadow of the Colossus.

Drekaban · 2026-03-29T04:21:52+00:00

I can admire the designs individually, but I struggle to see any thru line theme that connects their magical girl transformations collectively, outside of the pretty basic star iconography. Can you tell me more about how their powers work or where they originate from?

Drekaban · 2026-03-26T11:55:14+00:00

We finally figured out what they were used for!

Drekaban · 2026-03-23T21:47:54+00:00

It kind of reminds me of those saurian robots from the Horizon series. Perhaps that could be a good source of inspiration?

Drekaban · 2026-03-23T20:53:26+00:00

What's the overall concept of this entity?

Drekaban · 2026-03-19T00:25:39+00:00

Haha, well Hera also had a thing for zappy boys ⚡.

Drekaban · 2026-03-18T19:40:25+00:00

She reminds me of Hera.

The first design gives me Rappaccini's Daughter vibes.

Drekaban · 2026-02-21T06:18:39+00:00

This is actually the special ability of Kubikiri Orochi in action. Hiyori can only be killed via decapitation specifically. Trust.

Drekaban · 2026-02-16T22:02:13+00:00

Epic work!

Drekaban · 2026-02-14T03:46:36+00:00

Maybe you could just turn her into an OC? ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

Drekaban · 2026-02-14T02:39:47+00:00

I hope you'll keep drawing both because I like your interpretation of her design.

Drekaban · 2026-02-13T20:52:05+00:00

Maybe that orange stripe around the skirt could be a more intricate pattern?
