#Caspian Stratos

[tricksterpale]

Spent the entire day giving myself art therapy by drawing Pirate Dad Caspian. Bonus fresh baby face 18 year old Cas on the middle top!

So 2022 was the year I discovered 3D art and fell utterly in love lol. It was wild trying to piece together how to display the projects for each month that didnt have a nice single fancy scene render at the end, but I can't tell you how great it is to have a yearly art summary to share again this year!

Not a complete one! And not everyone has been drawn/posted. A girl's really gotta get back on that toyhou.se game! But will a list of color-coded character names do for now?

omg tumblr's gonna butcher this but sometimes you gotta draw your blorbos snuggling and smooching and calm down Upper left: Ro (belongs to @king-there0f ) clinging to Aster, letting the sound of Aster reading one of his silly 18th century novels out loud lull him to sleep Bottom left: Modern AU Matthias (belongs to @king-there0f ) passed out with his baby daughter Akemi on his chest Middle top: Ro clinging to Si while scrolling his phone and Si sneaking a selfie in the mirror to send to Aster Upper right: Modern AU Matthias getting smorched on the cheek by Caspian Bottom right: Indi and Tal (belongs to @mistswalker ) snuggling in a beach chair, looking into each other's eyes like that's their whole world

Me @ me: Today I’m going to do something very useful and productive. I’m going to do reference sheets of Caspian now that I’ve made some decisions about his features. Yes. Yes, that is what I will do.  Also me: Hee hee boob meme time-

Wellllll, this is just what happens when you select the career pirate with a history of violence and death to be your second in command, Trahearne. You did this to you.

[tricksterpale]

I’ve done and received a lot of art of Caspian since I first made him back in 2021 [sweats nervously in 127 total pieces of art in Caspian’s toyhou.se gallery so far]. The point is, his design and features have been refined down to a science at this point. So I thought it was high time I did a proper turn around ref of him. 

Some Caspian basic info below the cut!

This is Caspian as he first appears during Personal Story. He’s 30 at the time, a captain on the captain’s council in Lion’s Arch, and has already established himself as a pirate legend from coast to coast. He’s a career pirate and has been for almost his entire life. He’s been holding the front lines against Zhaitan’s bone ships since he first went onto account at the age of 7 but that’s been an increasingly losing battle as Zhaitan becomes more active and more tactical (and they continue to lose capable ships of the line to skirmishes and to gold). At this point in Caspian’s life, he’s at odds with the consortium who has bought a seat on the council and is meddling in a big way for the sake of commerce over defense of LA.  Other details:  -He’s very musically inclined! He likes to sing shanties (and has a lovely baritone singing voice) and play his fiddle. 

-He doesn’t have a lick of magic in his entire body (He’s tried conjuring the elements before to either disastrous or lackluster effect...) and so relies heavily on his engineering and holosmithing in fights. He fights with his holodeck, pistols, and a laser sword that doubles as his walking cane when it’s stowed in the sheathe. 

-He can’t walk without a custom leg brace that immobilizes his right ankle due to traumatic injury when he was 26 (He was struck by a scatter shot when he and his crew were betrayed by the second mate and ambushed by two other pirate crews. The medic, Merry, had to prioritize healing to his vitals over the healing to his leg since there’s only so much healing magic a body can take at once.) With the leg brace and cane for additional stabilization, he walks with a light but noticeable limp that one might mistake for a swagger. 

-Caspian is poly bisexual but doesn’t start taking his relationships more seriously until after the events of Heart of Thorns due to not having a good example of love growing up and also his intense prioritization of freedom (I may discuss this in a separate post as it’s a long story, but basically the events of Heart of Thorns forced him to realize that his feelings for his sylvari boyfriend, Daimine, ran deeper than he had been willing to previously accept....the lengths he went to save Daimine, even over the safety of his crew was eye opening for him in a big way) There’s a lot more I’d like to say about Caspian but I’ll probably do so in separate posts. If you have any questions about Caspian or comments, feel free to come into my inbox or DMs. I’m also always happy to discuss how our characters might interact with each other in the world! Caspian is very social and outgoing and loves people. Throw em his way <3

These are my comfort gay scoundrels, your honor. No, I cannot live without them.

I had one hell of a week last week, so I sat down and drew Caspian giving everyone a hand up in these trying times. Will you take the captain’s hand?

[tricksterpale]

I’m stubbornly trying to break through my art block by refusing to take a longer break than I have to. We’ll see if I’m successful.

Decided to draw “Ace” Farim, Caspian’s second mate aboard the Magpie’s Revenge. He’s a Kournan noble’s son who ran away to live a life of adventure and freedom which Caspian vehemently defends him for even when Ace’s parents track him down and try forcing him to return. 

Then I tried putting a beard on Caspian and was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually looks his age with facial hair. A version with elixirs to brighten it and a version without. Although its possible by the time he’s 40 that his beard begins to silver before the rest of his hair does. I’ll have to play around with the concept some more.

Not me getting hooked on a dating sim and deciding to make my own dating sim screenshots of Hope’s Legacy members. Whoops. Also love that Naeem’s sim could be in response to Pydre’s. Which honestly wouldn’t be too far off their actual in story dynamic tbh.

Some characters from Hope’s Legacy all bundled together. I’ve accepted it’s going to take me a very long time to illustrate all of them, but this is a start. In the first picture from left to right, it’s Caspian Stratos, Pydre, Naeem, and Indi. In the second picture from left to right, it’s Nadezda, Tien, Qorrhi, and Caspian again.

I just really like drawing this man’s face. He’s very pretty. 

He looks a little more disheveled in the western AU because he’s less concerned with maintaining an image as pirate Caspian is. Bonus shot of him with his natural hair color because why not.
