Description  (Please listen to: Tears of Joy  for the full spectrum of emotions...)





"Hey... Naia."
"...hm?"
"Its over..."
"Yes... Finally."
"....I"m so tired."
"Let's rest... for just a little.."



OOOOH MY GODDDDDDD
I'm dying over here. Literally. A small peice.. A big peice! of me is dying.
Souls of Chaos is coming to a close.
I've already had a hell of a time coming to terms with letting go of my all of my characters. They've literally been my inspiration and salvation for the past three years. If I had tough times, and I certainly did with life in general and specifically having my husband be gone most of the time, leaving me living alone. I'm an introvert, but being alone still sucks. But all I had to do was immerse myself into this world and I could forget those negative feelings almost in an instant. With the help of my rp partners, I was able to let out ideas good and bad. I grew in terms of writing and drawing, and as a person in some ways, discovering things and teaching myself things I probably wouldn't have if not for them. I sometimes stayed up until after the sun had risen just because the I HAD to know what happened next. Or tried to sleep then just got right back up and ran to the comp to continue. Allot of times I actually cried. Like, sobbed my eyes out onto by tablet and keyboard.
I'm seriously trying to not cry -atm- ;u; as lame as it might seem to those that dont know the attachment you can have to fictitious characters. These literally are my babies though. It started with just Naia and Dorian, then just branched and branched. I think with each branch I just dug myself deeper and they became more fleshed out and real. Its certainly been incredibly hard trying to let that go.
There were so many things I could have done for my final peice.. I would have loved to have been able to do a huge group picture with all of my characters. They actually branched much further than what I put to apps. Gale, Xiva, Twyla, Emrys, Neri grown up, Leith... But I just dont have the time. It would take forever x'D
Could have done a couple.. Dorian and Aegle were the first... Then Alex and Naia, Tear and Arlen, Ahri and Anil..

But in the end I decided it should end where it started. Dorian and Naia. 
They went through -allot- in the time that I played them. I dont use them as much as I used to, but they will forever be precious to me.. as will all the rest.
The idea came from my Gemini sketch I was supposed to do so long ago x'D. I think the idea still fits them.
And yes. Boobs. There are large boobs there.
Also, this was my first full B/W painting, then colored with layer effects. I feel accomplished really. Though I'm not quire sure if it would have been better or worse had I done the way I usually do it with lines and colors on their own layer and shaded independently.

Either way... Here is to three amazing years of creativity and amazing emotions.

my feels.. this is so lovely but with that dialog of them in the coment it sounds as if they were about to die ; A ; this shouldnt be an end but a new beguining! zion is now at peace but that doesnt mean its over. they will be groups that stil have a grudge to other fractions and without their gods, they could be againts the new god and create problems. after the gods have left, soldiers need their comanders more then ever QAQ

This is beautiful~<3
I've watched SoC ever since it started but never worked up
the courage and creativity to actually join QwQ
I'm sad to see SoC end, but happy to see that it lasted for so long and became so amazing >w<
All of you guys did an amazing job with SoC and being active~!
I'm super excited to see where the new Rp group will head~~

This is gorgeous, Bou. At first I thought this was fanservice, which it is, but I have no problems with that!
However, I had no idea you were so lonely. [huggles] You remind me how much I miss RPing.

furesiya In reply to blackenedhonestyart [2014-10-18 07:52:12 +0000 UTC]

aahaha yeah 8D I can't quite get away from some form of fan service for these two..
Though honestly the idea to be naked (they were supposed to be completely naked originally.. ) came along more because I was feeling it would be a sort of... pure and uncovered vulnerability? If that makes sense.. Something intimate without being sexual, but rather trusting and just wanting to rest, no more complications.

And yeah ;u; this job luis has now takes him away from home allot. It doesn't help that I'm such an introvert that is generally just wanting to stay home and draw and stuff x'D rather than go out for anything ahaha. I'm getting by though ;u; <3 Da is definitely one of my havens to come to when I -am- feeling lonely for any reason.

B/W !?! LAYER EFFECTS!?

oh my glob... how. 

This is stunning... and I think really gets to the root of how I feel about the end of SoC, even though I wasn't able to be around for the end nearly as much as I would have liked to, or ended up RPing with people as much as I wanted to. 

These two  are great characters - and it shows how much you love them whenever you draw something like this.

Your drawings are always so beautiful. It's hard to believe that SoC is over and having your characters finish their journeys is both so good and bad--bittersweet. I've enjoyed seeing the art of Dorian and Naia. Literally perfection in two bodies. adjksajdksakdskal

This is a really lovely piece~ It's nice seeing how much you've improved just in the short amount of time I've been watching you.

Just out of curiosity, though- are you opposed to recycling characters? Nothing says you can't transfer them to other worlds. It sure beats having to make new, undeveloped ones for each new instance, imo. :u

furesiya In reply to SerpentRose [2014-09-28 08:03:43 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.. It's rather complicated to say.. I'm not against portig at all. I've ported a few in he past. Though the thing with those were, they were always character I felt like I never really.. 'Finished' with, or got very far at all really in some cases. 
Naia and dorian are two that I used allot. Like, allot allot. Every day for almost two years allot xD they went through so very much, and progressed so far that about a year (or maybe slightly more) ago, I actually got to the point where I fel very.. Complete with them. If that makes sense. There were no other plots that we could come up with that hadn't ben done already or would actually have anything come of them. Which in turn spurred the rest of my npcs into creation.. But that's besides the point.
i guess what it comes down to, is that if I ported them somewhere else, either I would 1) keep all of their soc story and development, but then not have much room to do anything else for very long. Or 2) wipe the history clean and start fresh with just their base personality. Which I think would be the better option really, but then it's sort of in the same boat as just creating a whole new different character anyways. And if I do that, I would be making personalities I have yet to play, and also I think that somehow ..how to say... Their lengthy and deep soc past would still be present somehow. At least in my heart/mind and I would hate it if I did a disservice to all of that somehow with the new stuff.
i actually had a really bad (I admit self inflicted for the most part, due to ignorance and negligence) experience with my port of the character Kiri to soc. I learned a valuable lesson, but looking back I still feel guilt and negativity towards a character I really really love.
i actually will probably port -him- if anything. Mainly to just try and wash the bitter taste from my mouth, so to speak.
but the rest.. Naia, dorian, arlen, Anil.. Etc. I don't think I can just because they really were fantastic experiences and in a way I feel like I'll honor them a bit more truly if I leave them resting, as it were.

and thank you xD. I've honestly been trying to push myself allot even though my output quantity isn't that high these days.

SerpentRose In reply to furesiya [2014-09-28 11:04:21 +0000 UTC]

That makes sense. :> Seeing where you're coming from, I can agree with the sentiment. I've honestly never developed a character so much to the point where there was nothing left to do, simply because to me, their life doesn't end, so neither should their story. A past can always be adapted to new worlds and lore. So it's neat to me that you've managed to 'complete' a character's full development arc and let them go.

And you're welcome. :> I've sort of been doing the same thing, but it really shows. Quantity means nothing if you're not happy with the outcome.
