so, inspired by the warm welcome the captain received with that rough doodle i posted, i made an updated design for Ki'ita as well (basic and with clothes)
i removed the piercings she had bc considering that they spend the majority of their time in arctic waters i think having metal directly in your skin is a bad idea, no matter how thick your blubber is; i also gave her typical white markings a green hue bc ... i liked how it looked and makes them stand out a little more
(i will not repeat what i wrote on the post about the captain but wanted to add a bit of more info about Ki'ita herself)
(i dont have ALL of their backstory done yet but) the captain and Ki'ita worked together in another organization, one in which the father of the captains child also worked at, before being betrayed and barely managing to escape, after which the both of them founded their pirate crew (possible name is the Solar Pirates bc of their solar powered boat stuff); since the captain had her daughter shortly afterwards Ki'ita managed most of the organisational matters at first, including the construction of their base on an abandoned island they had initially fled to
over the years they invented the solar powered ships that allowed them to gain control over a large part of an important trade route, leaving normal ships (mostly) alone but attacking those of hunters and similar, rescuing demons and mutants, even some humans from them, most of which also join the crew and it quickly lead to them becoming their own little community
Ki'ita does not like to spend alot of time among large groups of people, no matter how much she cares about them, and her originally being from norther lands gave her the idea to explore, and if viable, do underground missions in those norther areas to disrupt the infrastructure the hunters had built in recent years and overall keep the crew informed about things that may otherwise stay hidden; with each of their travels her time absent from the base increased but the patience of the captain is wearing thin so its likely a serious talk is underway
on Ki'itas third solo mission she nearly died due to entanglement in abandoned nets made by hunters from an unknown material that she could not break, the massive scars on her tail especially come from that, only surviving bc the date they were supposed to return to the crew had passed and the captain grew to worried about her and made the entire crew rush into an emergency search, including the captain herself and her toddler, who were not suited for the cold climate just like the rest of crew, taking a huge risk that Ki'ita still feels ashamed of for causing; they stayed within the base for a whole year afterwards, not just to recover but also as a silent apology, taking time preparing herself to ensure theyd not get into a situation like that again
(before departing on their next mission the captain gifted her a sword with the blade made from the material of the net, a wooden handle, bc of the cold, and a blue wrap around it reminiscent of the captains striking blue teeth; a reminder of what had happened, a means to defend herself when their strength and teeth are not enough, and also a promise to always return again)
the oldest members of the crew know Ki'ita well and treat her like an old friend, among the newer members she has more of a .. cryptic status, the mysteriously absent vice-captain who only appears every few months or so out of thin air, throws a big party, sleeps for a few days and then vanishes again, the only hint to when they will return soon again being the captain getting noticably grumpier
(OC art, Ki'ita, she/they)

I FOUND AN ARTIST WILLING TO DO MY ALTERNATE CONCEPT STORY OF TSATS.
Which is basically just another story entirely.
I made a post a couple days ago about how much I was disappointed in The Sun and The Star (like the plot and everything) so I just typed out an alternate concept of the story entirely in like ten minutes.
A lot of people seemed to like the idea of it being Hazel that goes with Nico and the Bob thing being a misdirect. So I went searching to see if I could find an artist on instagram AND BITCH I FOUND ONE ACTUALLY WILLING.
At first I messaged a bunch of more popular artists but didn’t get a response. So I drifted around for HOURS messaging newer smaller creators. Until I found a webtoon artist willing to draw it. I had to type out my concept again and send it to them and apparently they liked it.
THEY SENT ME THIS AN HOUR AGO AND CALLED THEM ‘ROUGH SKETCHES’
I KNOW BITCH. Jason looks INSANE. I’m crying again. In a good way this time. They are apparently a pjo fan but said they hadn’t read the toa series or tsats, but that they have always loved hazel and Nico and said they were the reason they agreed lol.
This is their instagram though. THEIR ART IS INSANE.
Tell me what you guys think.
message the artist for more info and stuff
