Douglysium

A lot of you probably don’t know this because I don’t talk about it enough, but I actually participated in this zine forever ago. It was my first attempt at making a more detailed piece that includes an in-depth background and environment. My art has definitely improved since then because I wouldn’t consider this my greatest work, and there are things I would’ve done differently in regards to the background and detailing if given the chance today.

The piece features my MtG OC Viola Blewett who is a merfolk from a fan plane I was working on, so they fit the theme. Their lower half has been replaced by advanced tentacle prosthetics.

1: A drawing of my OC Viola W Blewett as they appears in her Magic the Gathering variant. They are a merfolk with dark green scales / skin, blue fins in place of ears, and a curly afro tied into a ponytail with a blue bubble-like hair tie thing. A streak of blue goes down their otherwise black hair and ends in an ahoge of sorts hanging in front of Viola’s face. In their hair is a high-tech, mostly silver looking, wand filled with some sort of fluid in a compartment. They are wearing goggles that glow and obscure their eyes outside of white oval approximations of where they are looking along with a blue top that has black sleeves, four pockets, and a silver metal collar of some kind. Their hands are covered by black gloves that have a white trim and fingers while their lower half has a prosthetic resembling the arms of an octopus with a metal silver coloration and glowing blue segments. Within the artwork, a glowing gem surrounded by water floats between Viola’s hands, and the lower half of Viola’s body is submerged in water. In the background is a window showing space itself with a planet and two moons in it. Outside the window are various lights, tubing / pipes, etc. along with some sort of hatch at the bottom. All the lights and tubing glow shades of blue.
