Description This one has been sitting around in my stash for a while, it's probably time that I post it.

A watercolor piece I did of my characters, Aurulia (left) who has light powers, and Mayah (right) who has shadow powers. Though the two of them are incredibly different, they still have a powerful relationship. Like day and night they compliment each other.

I'm Not the One by 3OH!3: is a main theme for this story and describes them well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP-SQG…


Characters: Aurulia and Mayah belong to me.

Done with watercolors and pencil. Color correction done in Photoshop.

Nice work Drayah!    This is the first time I've seen Mayah.  Can you tell me anything about her?   I love the little bit I can see of her design here (that hair/skin color combo is gorgeous!)

Thank you! Yeah I finally found a design that I was happy with for her! I hope to do some more art of her in the future, I've neglected Aurulia's story for a long time!

Well let's see... She has blue hair, which you can see lol. She is blind but can see in the dark, and has the power to manipulate darkness and shadows. She is mostly nocturnal because she can't do much in the day and prefers the night.

Her black teardrop tattoo is like a prison tattoo that represents having killed someone, she's killed a lot of people though. The star tattoo represents light against darkness and hope that she won't have to remain in the dark for forever. She traded her ability to see for her magic and longs desperately to be able to see again and live in the light. And she's also super gay.

I would look forward to seeing more of her; she sounds really awesome from what you've told me! I'd definitely like to see a full body of her  
Haha... I totally get you about neglecting a story... I've put so many on the back burner as I work on Flowers.

Yay! Thanks! I'm glad you're so interested in her!  

How is that coming along? Are you writing or just drawing?

It's in a very serious planning stage.   I only have a small bit of it actually written (and that was from, like, a year ago!), then lots and lots of concept sketches and timelines and plans written all over the place.   I think I'd like to write it as a graphic novel, so this tedious background work (profiles, houses, reading lots of comics for inspiration) is necessary.

It'll look so cool as a graphic novel! Just a ton of work though!

Thanks! She's blind but can see in the dark so I wanted to keep the focus on her eye.
