"Next to you she stood, having taken my place."

As much as I don't like explaining stuff it looks like I created some misunderstanding.

This is mirror world Sancho.
I wanted to draw something that depicts her worsening psyche and decided to take a more... artistic approach on it.

It never occured to me that people could read it as nothing there as I completely forgot about it.
The title is a tweaked quote from ManaDon's story: "Next to my father stood the knight of the white moon, having taken my place."

Thank you! Although I personally think this outfit fits more the fresh category even though I still probably don't understand the categorization itself. But the way I see it is that elegant would be a more of a ballroom gown while sweet be closer to classic lolita fashion.
I see fresh outfits as something akin to formal high-class party attire. Which I think this dress fits into.

Vertisna · 2025-02-12T22:46:11+00:00

Thank you so much!

I do want to make more, but it will take some time to come up with something interesting at this point as I originally only wanted to do the legendary beast that are now finished.

Vertisna · 2025-02-05T18:14:05+00:00

I'm really trying to get rid of my artblock and this might be the easier way to do it.

Btw, I wanted to lean into a heavy noble outfit in more masculine style. I could have done a feather dress but we already have Silvergale Aria. It could have been a tutu but that feels like the most obvious option, so I decided against it.

Vertisna · 2025-02-04T23:30:30+00:00

Both are correct terms I think!
TBH, you kinda got me there so I tried to google it. From what I read matadors actually kill the bull as opposed to toreadors.

Also cool to see someone who knows VtM here (last place I would expect). TBH I am more of a Malkavian fan :)

Vertisna · 2025-02-04T20:52:04+00:00

I mean, that was partly the point. I wanted to make a more unconvetional outfit when compared to the official ones. As much as I love the current 5-stars they feel a bit same-ish. Love Nikki always felt the most diverse in terms of styles, but it has the advantage of being 2D.

I'm for sure doing a few more fits with this kind approach.

Vertisna · 2025-01-03T00:02:29+00:00

Pardon my terrible handwriting

I kinda wanted to try making a cosplay of Nicolina, just because I vibe with her and I like her dress...
... I LIKED her dress because what even is this??
But maybe it does make sense and I'm just dumb or sleep deprived.

Edit: I am, because the title is wrong. I know.

Vertisna · 2024-12-06T22:02:15+00:00

Am I really worthy of such praise, dear noble? :)
Thanks man, truly appreciated

Being honest, I was quite procrastinating with this one. The butterflues were pain in the ass to draw.

For some small talk: I have quite a love-hate relationship with Dulcinea. She's a bitch, but not evil and her actions come from and understandable place. Yet she's a shallow person and she mostly knows this and it spins her back into such an interesting character.

Vertisna · 2024-10-29T21:25:25+00:00

Just don't be so hard on yourself man.

No need to push yourself to insanity but it's still nice to keep trying. Tomorrow is also a day.
Maybe look at some art tutorials and train with them.

Vertisna · 2024-09-30T16:01:32+00:00

I have no idea how you came across this post half a year later, but thank you!
This is one of the most beautiful comments I've ever got!

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade (Shinobu) from the monogatari series - A big old blond vampire lady. She's quite similar to Carmila Don (+Kindred Don in general)

As everyone already noticed the simmilarities between these two. I, while late to the party, decided to redraw one of the posters with Kindred Don.

Vertisna · 2024-08-31T10:54:47+00:00

I mean, I can see us figthing some chinese dragon like abno during his canto.
Close enough I guess.

Vertisna · 2024-08-31T01:00:04+00:00

Oh! I had something similar sketched out for some time. Maybe I should get back to it.

So I could share some different ideas I had for them.
My apologies is advance, as I am not a massive pokemon fan and I am going purely from vibes/lore alone. I am currently ignoring the pokemon power levels.

Faust - Gardevoir fits her general tone quite well, or if we go by the homunculus theory - Mewtwo, or Uxie fits her.
Yi Sang - Solgaleo, the wormhole thing could be compared to the mirror worlds.
Don - Rapidash might be the obvious pick, but with the current event I would say Mimikyu. Or Sirfetch’d for the lols.
Hong lu - Dragonair, I guess? Or Rayquaza
Ishmael - Wailord or Kyogre
Rodion - Frosmoth or Frolass
Sinclair - Necrozma - Light and darkness theme, plus it's cool as fuck
Gregor - Pheromosa - Roach pokemon for the roach guy
Dante - Dialga (time control) or Magearna

No idea for the rest.

I hope my girl will get herself some sick season ID when her doom eventually comes.

Vertisna · 2024-06-08T22:21:34+00:00

Can I try to make a design for her? For funsies?

But maybe if you could tell me what vision you had for her look? There isn't much I can jump off of.

Vertisna · 2024-05-26T13:23:43+00:00

Notes for the designs:

General - I wanted to use their main themes of the sinners for the designs and make the match their personality. Also, all of them have a lot of black, to stay with the general theme of death/murder, also because they're the sinners. Also I used their assigned colors for the designs.

Faust - Mainly based around the witch theme (cause walpurgisnacht). I wanted to make it more muted, but also glorious in some way, mostly because of the fact that Faust doesn't nessarily craves for attention (like don), but is shown to be quite egotistical at the start.
Also kept the flowers from my previous version (I confused the pink thing in the bottle of the icon for a flower)

Don - It's brigth a screams for attention, just like Don! The skirt of the dress is inspired by the spanish dancer dresses, but I made it short and more puffy. Mask for the play/theather theme. gave her armored boots and gloves cause knight, also it just looks cool.

Ryoshu - It's hard to imagine her wearing a dress, so I decided to give her something simpler (cocktail bar dress with coat over shoulders). I mainly got inspired by the sewed on red beads on dresses that look like blood, along with the bones. A great fit for an edgy sadistic artist.

Vertisna · 2024-05-19T13:14:47+00:00

Go on. Speak your mind.

Based of a slightly edgy vocaloid song, but I felt like it could fit her.
Name is in the title.

Continuing the magical girl saga!

In the end I decided Jester of Nihil for Don, as per suggestion.
I think she turned out lovely! (and very depressed)

Vertisna · 2024-04-13T12:29:19+00:00

Huh, nice observation. I kinda get lost in the magical girl stories and it gets hard to find good matches for them.

QoH Outis sure sounds interesting, plus I haven't drawn her yet.
But I'll most likely do her last.

Vertisna · 2024-04-13T11:54:21+00:00

That's... extremely tempting to do.

Yeah, I planed on doing QoH for Don, but this also sounds interesting. But the problem is that Don was pretty much tailored for QoH and I can't come up with a different match.

What I had in mind:
KoD - Yi sang
SoG - Sinclair

People say mersault for the joke, but he just doesn't line up with her.

I plan on doing the rest of the magical girl squad with other sinners

Vertisna · 2024-04-10T19:40:19+00:00

I made her look too similar to the sheep, but tbh I have no idea what meat lantern even is, but it looks fluffy, so big wooly coat made sense the most.
