I’m finally on break and have SAI back, so I figured that I’d participate in that really cute oc ball that’s been happening lately! :> It’s a good chance to try and sharpen my skills and draw more.
Here’s Lafayette and Níðhöggr [with and without illusory human form enabled]! They are no stranger to parties in their natural setting although typically those parties end up with one to twenty people dead on government orders. Lafayette probably adorned Nid to match her dress– although dressing your world’s equivalent of a predator drone in your mother’s jewelry is not particularly advised.
aaand good night.
lafayette probably hit the drinks a little too hard and now her horrifying military wetware/weapons platform boyfriend dropped out of humanform to very carefully ferry her home.
last minute final sketch for the oc ball! i had a lot of fun :>
1) a girl i saw several months ago that was wearing what i could only describe as ‘witch fashion’
2) small demons. the smallest demons
queens have knights, but sorceresses have dragons.
the witch and her demon
a quick pic of lafayette! to be honest ive been struggling a lot with my work being Gray as Heck so I’m trying to actively change that now, among other things.
im thinking of doing some tiny comics about this story soon
her parents lock her in her room, so she takes to summoning demons for company
Amalgamated constructs and other forms of demonic wetware emit a low, ambient ‘purr’ that is said to sound like a modulated rainstorm. Some find it relaxing.
A select 9% of the population appear to perceive the noise differently, often describing it as akin to 'multiple human screams simultaneously.’
ayyyyyy come look at my fucked up OC
Amalgams are mobile platforms that consist of stacked colonies of microscopic entities informally known as demons, which are bonded parasitically to the body of a magician. A byproduct of magic use on or near significant quantities of standing water, demons spontaneously swarm puddles or lakes in the presence of magical energy. They crave and feed on magic, which also appears to have a cohesive effect on them: normally individualistic, single-cell-like demons will bond together while feeding and create larger and more intuitive beings.
While demons largely ignore normal humans (although ingestion of contaminated water may result in severe health problems), they will aggressively pursue magicians, who often avoid and fear water for this reason. Demons are highly parasitic in nature, and contact with bare skin will result in them burrowing into and anchoring themselves to the body of the magic user, where they will remain, feeding off their latent energy. While smaller sites of contamination on the limbs can be localized and easily removed, the same cannot be said for the unfortunate magician who falls into a teeming lake of demons.

combat specs/reference for the protagonist! finally done…i probably should have done this first. anyway, enjoy this infographic abt cold war witch lady and how her powers work.
other infographics in this story: [demon handbook] [nid’s reference]
1962 republic manual on demonic constructs
This is finally done: a more concise description of demon summoning. This kind of handbook would probably have been given out to all the military cadet mages. For further reading:

quick sketch of lafayette and nid before i go to bed!! i love simple styles.
also here’s laf’s illustration of nid for their personnel file (amalgamated constructs can’t be photographed well because they’re of demonic substance):
the best spymaster of the 1960s was a witch named hajjar
Amalgamated constructs, or corpse dragons, are a class of demonic units valued for their physical malleability and human level intelligence. They are utilized in standard military operations by most countries, typically supporting human squadrons.
Like most constructs, they consist of colonies of microscopic demons, but their binding core is the cadaver of a drowned magician. Although their deployment in warfare is controversial and has been condemned by the United Nations since 1956, the practice is still technically legal.
been a while since i posted something, so have a quick illustration of (some of) the protagonists in coronation
