Character Development

🇩🇪 Unverhofft kommt oft. Das heutige PaintLog war eigentlich schon fertig, da inspirierte mich die heutige Episode The Owl House zu einer weiteren Fanart-Zeichnung. Interessanterweise passt aber auch diese unter die obige Überschrift. Um euch nicht direkt zu spoilern, findet ihr das Bild wieder einmal ganz unten im PaintLog. Oder natürlich im OwlLog (🇬🇧) . Dort, wie auch auf Instagram, könnt ihr euch wie immer auch meinen Senf zu Gemüte führen, den ich zu der aktuellen Episode von mir zu geben habe.

Das Arcryla City (🇬🇧) Sommerfestival geht in die letzte Woche. Vorab also hier schon einmal die Ankündigung: Der nächste Showcase findet kommendes Wochenende in der Nacht von Samstag auf Sonntag deutscher Zeit statt. Wie üblich heißt dies, dass ihr meinen Beitrag zur letzten Challenge am darauffolgenden Sonntag an gewohnter Stelle (🇬🇧) finden werdet.

Dank zahlreicher Unterhaltungen und Brainstormings in den Chaträumen des Discord-Servers habe ich meinen Charakter Crissy (🇬🇧) in der Zwischenzeit soweit weiterentwickeln könnten, dass es Zeit für ein Update des Charakterbogens wurde. Der alte ist nach wie vor gültig, stellt sie aber „ready to work“ dar, der neue sie als Person:

🇬🇧 Always expect the unexpected. Today’s PaintLog actually already was ready as today’s episode of The Owl House inspired me to another fanart art piece. Interestingly, this episode also fits under the topic you can find above. To not to spoiler you, you will find the painting right down at the end of this PaintLog. Or in the TheOwlLog, of course. There as well as on Instagram you also can take the two pennies which I gave to today’s episode.

The Arcryla City Summer Festival is heading into its last week. Therefore the announcement in advance: The next showcase will take place next weekend in the night of Saturday to Sunday (German time). As usual this means you will see my entry to this last challenge on the following Sunday at the usual place.

Thanks a lot of discussions and brainstorming in the chats of the Discord server my character Crissy developed in a way that there was time for an update of the charactersheet. The old one still is valid but it’s depicting her „ready to work“ while the new one shows her as person:

Character sheet of a young woman, digital painting, comic style on light "paper": She has got short purple hair and is wearing big round glasses. She is also wearing a leather coat, leather boots, yellow and black striped trousers, belts and a brown (leathery) safety helmet with gadgets, in the right hand she is holding a driller like tool, in the left hand an adjustable screw wrench, the background is a diffuse grey cloud encompassing her silhouette. There are background information on the sheet: Centre: Crissy Faith - Steam Engine Mechanic; Left: Strengths (good with anything mechanic, straight thinking, work gives her focus easily); Flaws (doesn't have a grasp of people, gets insecure easily when in company); Fears (being rejected, afraid of heights) Right: Full name "Cristallina Coralia Faith (She/Her), 23 years old, height 1.66/5'5'', pan (didn't figured it out yet), Likes (Water Bears, Machines, Mangoes, pizza, fish cocktail), Dislikes (Crowds, Interacting with people, Unreliability), Trivia (chaotic at home, pocket watch being a heirloom, neat handwriting, wobbling when feeling insecure)

In der letzten Woche angekündigt war außerdem das zweite Kollaborationsbild. Diese erfolgte mit hyeonart von Instagram. Jede*r von uns hat ein Bild zum allgemeinen Prompt „Fireworks“ (🇬🇧) gezeichnet. Legt man beide Bilder aber nebeneinander, entsteht ein neues, größeres Bild. Selbstverständlich habe ich auch diesmal wieder die Erlaubnis, es hier zu posten, hyeonarts Bild findet ihr in groß ebenfalls auf Instagram.

Last week I also announced a second collaboration painting. This one was with hyeonart from Instagram. Everyone did theirs own painting for the general prompt „Fireworks“. But if you put both paintings next to each other, they will become a new painting, a bigger picture. Of course I got permission to share it here but you will find hyeonart’s painting in full size on Instagram, too.

Fireworks

Crissy went to the lake in the park to watch the upcoming fireworks. This time she even did not had to be talked into it. Looking out for a spot aside from the big crowds she met Lynux, a tailor (as she learned to know), and they had a lot of fun.

Digital Painting, comic style: Crissy Faith, a young woman with purple hair and big round glasses, seen from side view, sitting in the grass in front of a lake at nighttime, fireworks in the sky. She is wearing her casual clothes: A blue short legged overall, purple and orange striped leggings, toefree boots, a wrench in her back pocket, a pocket watch attached to her side. Between her and the lake are some rows of rocks, on the other side of the lake trees (in the middle and to the right) and some buildings (to the left), reflecting in the water. In the foreground to the left a piece of paper with the letters "Arcryla City Fireworks Fe...l" (the last word not completely readable).

Und dann war da noch ein weiteres Bild für das Sommerfestival, das ich zum Thema „Balloons“ (🇬🇧) eingereicht habe:

Last but not least there were another picture for the Summer Festival, this time for the prompt „Balloons„:

„Chasing Rainbows“

Going on a balloon ride with the person who is able to talk you into literally anything didn’t went as expected for Crissy. She is (slightly) afraid of heights but if your crush suggests to take a ride in this big, colourful balloons, you don’t say „no“.
