naelynn

It’s been a little over a year since I made Naelynn (October 9th, 2023), and her ref was a little bare bones and made quickly so I put in the work to make her a new ref that covered more details, streamlined a few features, and also actually finalized her details for the pattern on her back. Also made her daily outfit a bit nicer/more intentional. About 27 hours of work.

an image of scanned pencil sketch page by the OP, Armaina. Image depicts multiple sketches of a insect like character, Naelynn. sketches from left to right, starting at the top: Naelynn facing the viewer, tears in her eyes, looking sad and off to the side. The heel of her hand is being used to wipe tears from one of her eyes. Naelynn in a three quarters view looking off with a slightly annoyed or disgruntled look on her face. Naelynn looking up with tears in her eyes at spirits that are lightly drawn around her. A full body sketch of Naelynn standing, mostly facing the viewer but looking off to the side. She's wearing simplified Lamellar armor, and wielding a one-handed flail with her arm to her side, the other resting on her hip. A sketch of Naelynn leaning over a notebook or journal at a desk, a pen in one hand, her head resting on the heel and palm of the other hand that is resting on the desk.

Just some Naelynn sketches. Trying more expressions. Also she’s Having a Time. Working through some old wounds and how they relate to new discoveries. All very context-dependent stuff. Also her Tier 1 gear which she’s about to get tier 2 stuff very soon lol.

Image is a digital illustrated piece by the OP, Armaina. It contains her character, Naelynn, an anthropomorphic insectoid character dressed as the character Eido from Destiny 2. The scene looks in low light in a vast underground cavern. Naelynn is looking upward as luminous spores drop from the cavern's ceiling.

With only a few hours left, I finally got this done before Halloween ends (in my time zone). Naelynn dressed up as Eido from Destiny 2. Even though this wouldn’t be anything ‘canon’ (since that character/reference wouldn’t exist in the setting) I still kinda made a vague background to the setting she’s in. Supposed to be some sort of luminous spores dropping from the ceiling to set to mood.

A digital sketch page this time. Messing with a pencil textured brush to do my sketching in. Some naelynn thing both for fun and based on events and also requests from Doc lol. Also a sleepy Drakko in the right corner there and a dark mysterious figure the party ran into that Naelynn gave a fruit to and rolled a nat 20 on persuasion. (both Drakko and the big guy belong to DoctorGitGud )

Digital illustration by Armaina. Image depicts a character in the foreground, Naelynn, with her mouth open wide attempting to eat a large burger that is the size of two of her heads put together. In the background is a large centipede character, Rhode, holding a burger he could easily eat in a single bite that he is looking at very confused.

Rhode and Naelynn had a mix up with their orders. (Rhode belongs to DoctorGitGud)

Outfit things for Naelynn. We were talking about giving her a hat and so I was thinking of different hants and a look with a jacket. Just some sketchbook stuff and some roseart color pencils for color and some extra pen outlines. Also some barmaid/waitress outfit sketches for her new job.

A little piece I did with my character Naelynn and doctorgitgud ’s Drakko. They’re out camping and having a sleep u_u

Doing some experimenting with the watercolor, using light pencil ines instead trying to make a more light look. Something more pastel. Naelynn in a sundress cus summertime.

A sketch of two bug-looking characters, one taller in the background holding a lantern, Sylliana, and one closer to the viewer, holding a map, Naelynn. Each of them has a thought bubble and a caption within them. Naelynn: Captain Lady is so nice Sylliana: I am going to shove her in a sling and swing her like a bolas

Got to RP my new character, Naelynn, for a little bit for the first time in Mossberg. Doc’s Sylliana got to greet her, so I drew a silly little thing to commemorate the closure of their first interaction with one another.

A character I made for a little RP group on discord server called Mossberg. A quick reference for the character with some basic clothing and an idea of the patterns on her.

She’s loosely based on an ambush bug. The setting plays a little fast and loose with its bug-based inspo. So instead of the stabby mouth parts she has a little beak and instead of scythe arms she has a little scythe claw on the pinky that has a slightly stronger joint connection than most other pinkies.
