I made New #Art!

Decided to make a sectioned piece with each of the main cast of #ArmaLucis.

I made it in about a week for a market stall I had recently, though I think I might make some bookmark versions next time. could be fun.
The 6 characters of the main cast of my comic Arma Lucis in sectioned portraits. Left to right - Pyrrhus, Nereus, Layla, Seren, Aaliyah, Connlan

Happy valentines day :3 ❤️💙

I had to draw my 2 squishies together, and as I did so, this happened to become the opening scene of the entire comic...

Excerpt in the alt text
#Armalucis #Webcomic #Fantasy #art
{A love that burns softly} “Imagine it! A world where you and I can live like this, but out there! Maybe we could have our own tavern, or travel around Verdelmir, see all the things we’ve only heard or read about!” *Oh Neri… It does sound like a lovely dream. But that’s all it is, an unlikely, no, impossible dream…*

Another new character :3. This is Alistair, a well known Potion maker that joins up with the main cast in their quest (not as part of though)

Getting back into doing personal art after enough time resting from university. Working on proper character reference sheets for my Arma Lucis characters, thought I'd show the first WIP.

Day eight of #Taletober - Sword
Another canon event :3 This is part of the ‘accepting the call’ story beat where Pyrrhus is given his sword back by Nereus.
Story in alt text

“Pyrrhus stared at his sword conflicted as Nereus watched on. He lost this sword the day he went over the side of the boat and ended up in the Hidden Hollow. Apparently it had washed up not too long ago on the same beach he did back then. Perhaps it’s a sign from the gods that he must take up arms once again.”

Day twelve of #Taletober - Key
Finn Sterling channels fire through the channellers plinth with his music, aided by his fox mask. Counterpart to day 11

#Drawtober #Artober #Taletober2025 #Drawtober2025 #Artober2025 #OriginalCharacter #ArtChallenge #OctoberChallenge #ArmaLucis
Took a slightly different interpretation of the word as in 'musical key' as I was getting stumped on what people normally think of in my planning. This is the counterpart to Myrna from day 11, Finn Sterling, Bard of Masks and and elemental channeller. Here he's channelling the element of fire with help from his fox mask (foxes being creatures of fire) upon a channellers pedestal (ancient locations where people would first learn magic) You could say the pedestal is a 'key' to unlocking magic

Day thirteen of #Taletober - Tower
Aaliyah sits up on one of the towers of Castello Perenne, a place she once called home.

#Drawtober #Artober #Taletober2025 #Drawtober2025 #Artober2025 #OriginalCharacter #ArtChallenge #OctoberChallenge #ArmaLucis
After a heavy defeat, the party flees to a crumbling fortress, Castello Perenne, Aaliyah’s old home. It was once home to a community of druids, until the Kokinos family declared war on ‘deviant magic’, which was any magic they weren’t able to fully control. Aaliyah was one of the only survivors of the raid, and has vowed to get justice for her people.
