Young Vahaadi

These were originally in pencil but I decided to redraw them digitally. This is Vahaadi about age 14, shortly after joining the troupe and before he and Tryvnah got together (or even remotely liked each other).

At this age, Vahaadi has a FEROCIOUS temper. He is impulsive, cusses like a sailor, and seems constantly on the verge of knock-down, drag-out fights with Tryvnah.  It is a coping method and an attempt at compensating for his small size, weakness and insecurity.

He is really skinny and bony from a combination of a recent, abrupt growth spurt and a poor diet. Years of malnutrition (due to his family’s poverty) has done a lot of damage to his stomach. The gypsy food is richer than what he is used to and he has an ingrained habit of eating too fast, so he has a hard time keeping it down. Stomach aches and vomiting are a frequent and miserable fact of his life.

It’s impossible to guess what he’s thinking when he sews or works at his loom.  He seems to completely shut down.

He still has a few more inches to grow before he reaches his full (albeit, short) adult height.

Or, “Flint and Vahaadi Hangout, Pt. 1”

Gay is a terrible term for disgust but I couldn’t resist the irony.

After finding out Vahaadi wasn’t exactly a fan, Spark took on the appropriate attitude.

Then she and RD became buddies.

And after watching the show, the gang decided which pony they were most like. Spark = Rainbow Dash, Opal = Fluttershy, Flint = Shining Armor

Much to his chagrin, I drew Vahaadi as a pony too. I unintentionally gave him a girl pony face and he should be a unicorn and not an earth pony but, oh well. XD  I think his pony name should be Luster but you vetoed me and called him Wish Granter in your spontaneous fanfic, so, that works too.

Chimera Kala

Just putting up some old stuff of Kala, back when she had goat horns, snake scales, a lion tail and phoenix wings.

Kind of sad I never finished this one.  This was for a contest on dA where all we had to do was draw our own OC with the theme “transcendent.” I don’t have the original .psd anymore…this WIP is all I have of it. Sorry she’s awkwardly not wearing any clothes. I didn’t intend her to be in the buff but for some reason I just really wanted to shade her skin and got carried away.

This is mostly stuff for LC but Chimera-Kala is right in the middle so it fits here!

Ignite

This place about to 
blow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, 
this place about to…

This is concept art for Ignite, a doppelganger glitch that is masquerading as Spark. It has all of the same powers as our heroine, with an added dose of freaky. Its hair, outfit and colors may end up being different from Spark’s, but for right now they look identical except for Ignite’s more sinister mask shape, psychotic, unblinking expression, and the hazy, pixellated quality of its incorporeal body.  Ignite also mimics Spark’s voice (though it sounds static-y and its laugh is more shrill) and much of her personality, right down to the cheesy one-liners and possessive disposition toward Vahaadi.  Unfortunately, Ignite didn’t imbibe Spark’s heroism along with her love for blowing things up.  The masked menace is far more interested in wreaking havoc for its own sake. Enter: a serious problem for the Loose Canon protagonists.
