Oc// Salem - Blog Posts
Been editing and touching up some of my old OC references for my senior portfolio as opposed to re-drawing them. Mostly this includes fixing line art, adding proper clothing folds instead of the random ones I did bc I had NO IDEA what I was doing, fixing some anatomy stuff, and redoing some details here and there. And I figured I'd post the updated references cause why not 🤷♀️
As a quick introduction, this is my oc- the lovely Lady Salem Blair (she/her). Shadow witch, socialite and politician, smooth talker, magical prodigy, and lover of elegant things. She was quite a well known figure in political and well to do circles when she was alive, though that's not to say she was well liked by everyone.
Prolly the other two most important facts about her was that she did in fact do a lot of spying and sabotaging in her time, usually herself but sometimes with a little help. And that she was the mother of some of my other ocs, the Crow Triplets.
Quick run down of her runes (sigils)
Lock- Prevents anyone but the caster from opening or moving whatever the rune has been applied to.
Mute Sound- When activated, mutes sounds made by (or, within a certain radius, around) the wearer for a certain time frame. (thanks to @nicstylus for the suggestion with this one!)
Protection- Reinforces clothing against both (certain) magics and physical attacks.
Glamour- When activated, gives the wearer a shimmering flair. Not practical but very fun!
Disruption- Disrupts (low level) magical eavesdropping, locating, and otherwise spying attempts.
Shapeshifting- When applied to an object, allows a user to channel their magic into shapeshifting magic. Works best with masks or objects worn on the face.
Part 3 of me using this meme for my ocs (Part 1 and Part 2 here)
Old art incoming but not to old. No warnings should apply.
It's Salem Blair's turn!
Salem has probably changed the least, I've yet to really feel the need to change her to much. She still gets her smirk/cunning smile, dark hair pulled up into a bun with strands framing her face, and love of fine/formal clothing. I also still try to give her a gothic/romantic goth vibe and I've yet to change her mask design.
That being the biggest changes are the smaller details and the design of her clothes/dress. She has far more red accents to tie her into the Crow Family, particularly red gems. She also gets a subtle weapon at her hip in both drawings, one that can be easily disguised as another accessory to those who aren't looking for it. And her eyes have gone from black to silver.
(Also- bonus demon appearance in her first ever drawing)
Salem's headshot for her Artfight icon! She's also getting posted on her own cause again, I love how she turned out <3
