Remember when I joined the challenge when it was already halfway through... yeah I’m playing catch up now.
Hemit a day may 31, or as i call it,,, days 1,2,4,5 and 6 (Etho, Iskall, False, Gem and Doc)
I’m going to post the remaining 8 hermits in hopefully batches of 2? no promises though, I have them all sketched out but I’m only happy with... half of them so I might just redo them completely...

Here is my part of @shepscapades ‘s character design challenge! I went with drawing non-life-series hermits as red lifers.
originally I just did Welsknight, but I was on a roll so I added Xb as well, and,,, you can’t separate Xb from Keralis so he’s here too, being his,,, lovely self (wow look at that eldritch horror K propaganda)
(Below the cut I’ve added individual shots of them all without the gradient layer I used as shading here, and I talk a wee bit about the designs etc.)
Some general notes include:
originally I intended for Wels to be working for Ren during 3rd life, but then I was plagued by visions so this is actually set on an original life series season I’ve been calling wanted life (pspsps come closer,,, ask me about this I swear I’ll be normal and not abandon all my current projects to develop a fic or something)
All three of them are an allied, their base Is in a snowy mountain (which is why Wels and Xb have the fur collars) I don’t know what their alliance is called but I’ll figure it out probably
Wels went red first, due to some unfortunate luck regarding the gimmick of this made up season, and had been red for a while before eventually Keralis also joins him on the reds. Xb is the last to turn, and in fact survives on so long that by that time Wels has already lost his last remaining life.
Here’s Wels! My pride and joy! I really wanted to do him because it’d be a great excuse of designing some armor again, without having to chain myself into having to do that for every life series member when I eventually draw them
Originally, to make him seem more intimidating, I was going to put him in a massive suit of armor, but after gathering my references I realized it might be hard to make work with my,,, centaur design for him (You can’t put all that heavy shit on a horse I’m pretty sure!) So instead I just, gave him an different suit of armor than I usually do. If you’re wondering what might be up with all the eye imagery, It’s,,, mostly because I couldn’t figure out anything better to put there so I gave him all the eye imagery I couldn’t give Keralis on account of him being,,, naked.
The really fun part about his design though,,, is his big-ass anime sword! If you can’t tell I was heavily referencing a few genshin impact weapons for this. When he’s green/yellow the eye is closed and only opens when he gets to red.
Xb! He’s a shark. And he has a bow.
I don’t have much to say of him since I was mostly just winging everything here,,, He’s a shark because I like them, he has a bow because hes good with them. the bow looks like that because I wanted it to vaguely look like the same Genshin esque bullshit that Wels’s sword does.
I did give him black eyeliner,,, I,,, can’t remember why I did that but hey it’s there.
Okay so Keralis,,, all red-life-skins, exist on a spectrum, idk what the spectrum is but for reference Skizz’s limited life skin and Rendog’s 3rd life skin are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.
While I would have loved to draw Keralis all badass and stuff,,, I knew in my heart that he would be the kind of guy to,,, you know,,, follow in the footsteps of Scar and Skizz
HOWEVER to make him a little creepy I figured I could tap into those sweet sweet eldritch horror allegations
“But Sheep!” I hear you asking, “Isn’t their base in a snowy mountain, wont he get cold.” He will, and he does. You underestimate how far he’ll go for a bit. (Also it’s a fantastic opportunity for him to steal Xb’s hoodies!)
also a bonus meme I doodled as soon as I realized... the situation
transcript since it’s my handwriting: Has to draw Keralis as a “half naked red-life” instead of a “badass red-life”
Too long, didn’t read, I’m happy for you tho or I’m sorry that happened

(a little late) Week 2 of @shepscapades design challenge. I chose to create-mod-ificate Welsknight and Xbcrafted. (Just like last week, sans Keralis since he already,,, has a create mod design)
Individual shots and light design rambles under the cut
Welsknight! I fixed his proportions this time (if you look at the last weeks art his horse half is way too small, for me personally anyways.)
I didn't go too crazy with the steampunk aesthetic, originally I was going to give him some crazy mechanical armor, but then figured having heavy armor would probably get in the way of making crazy machines with the create mod, so it works out I think.
I tied his hair because,,, I like how it looks :3
And here's Xb!!
I put him in a dress because I wanted to draw one and I felt it was fitting since Keralis calls him princess anyways...
I kept him a guardian because I felt like making the dress + umbrella heavily jellyfish themed meant that making him a jellyfish would probs be too much... also why a jellyfish? They're easy to draw as an umbrella and I wanted to give him one!
I saw the shoes on pinterest and liked them enough so I gave them to him :>
also,,, obligatory sona-doodle, based on real events. He scratched me a little bit
