THESE DESIGNS ARE SO GOOD - Blog Posts

AND WE'RE BACK! Christ, I did not expect this project to take so damn long! After finishing the previous Limit Forms, I wanted to expand on it and finally design the pinnacle of power for my fic! Among the Resonance Arks, there is one that stands out from the rest: The Holy Ark. This jewel is unlike its elemental brethren, cloaked in mystery and its powers largely unknown. However, it is undeniably effective against the Shadow Blight. Cloaked in light, the Holy Ark thrives off the emotions of its user, and can unlock a transcendent state of unparalleled power if used correctly: Divine Form! Divine Form is identified by transforming its user into a near-holy entity, taking their innermost desires, dreams, and wishes and expressing them outward. This can manifest as conventional angelic transformations, the personal religious beliefs of the user, or the truest expression of oneself. Medic, Heavy, Cmedic, and Cheavy all unlock this power over the course of TBTF - Jackal unlocks his much later in his own story.

I wanted to try a new artstyle, I wanted to fiddle with the design of Momma and the freight, I did both. Notes under the cut.

Notes:

• The Rockies aren't here cus I ran out of motivation but I imagine them being younger than Rusty.

• Ages listed are mental ages not physical, we are talking about robot trains brought to life by star magic and childrens dreams here.

• In my mind they are all teens or college kids and that's why they're all like that tm. Getting really life or death over a sport? Being immediately ready to ditch said sport cus a girl rejected you? Accidentally snaking your best friend by racing with her man? Being really cruel to your annoying little brother to impress two cool bad boys? These are all reasonable responses to being 16 to 20.

• The fact that Control is an actual child probably does not help.

• I like giving Dustin and CB matching design elements as the true and fake final race partner for Rusty. So they both have red cheeks, a bandana, and Dustin gets plus symbols where CB gets crosses.

• I couldn't decide if I wanted Momma to have a skirt or trousers so I gave her a split riding skirt, like a cowgirl.

• Flat Top is hard to draw.
