"Now I just wanna stay here and fall into midnight" ----- "You're smart. You're beautiful. Don't put yourself down. You're not an idiot. You deserve to live." I'm tired of hearing these pointless motivational phrases. They're stupid, aren't they? Lies, spawned from the minds of people who pretend to understand others. That's why I'm out in space, isn't it..? (Comments on art below, check out my Insta (cafe.philiac) for better quality!) Name: Tristesa Gender: Female Birthday: February 1st (Aquarius) Age: 17 Job: Star. 18772 General of Weapons (this will make sense soon) General personality: Pessimistic, hates/doesn't know how to deal with emotions Strengths: Physically strong, perceptive, good with weapons Neutral traits: Tense, strict, not talkative Negative traits: Bad with communication, scared of emotions, can't understand em either, self-deprecating Backstory: It's year 58XX. Our kind has evolved past Earth. We've colonized the stratosphere. Unfortunately, we're still the same idiotic, power-hungry creatures we've always been. A new type of energy, Kinatia, has been discovered in the newest colonies. Of course, there's only one possible use for the latest substance allowing you to perform telekinesis. War. Of course. As I said before, we're still the same power-hungry fools. Yes, we had some form of telekinesis before using Plastysk, but this energy is something new entirely. We're rapidly sending out our Stars, finding this power, utilizing it. What little the ships before mine, 18772, have brought back have been used entirely to create Espiga, the latest glorified deadly weapon. Shapely shards of metal, bent by kinetic energy. Amazing. I didn't choose to be on this ship, especially not at the head of the department utilizing these devices. Or maybe I did. Terrible, aren't I? I play a key part in the insane amount of lives taken in the numerous Star battles. The thing is, it was either this or my having to suffer the casual annoyances of the others on the planet I've left behind. Can I run away from my problems forever? No, clearly not. But maybe I can escape for a time. What I will do with this character: I really want to write a Sci-Fi, and I have so many ideas for an emotional arc/space-themed action/adventure saga. Comments on the art: Woah, my style is so inconsistent... I actually kind of took inspiration for Queazy on YT for the shading technique even though my piece didn't end up nearly as well as any of theirs. I encourage you to check them out! (They're super underrated). Painting the shading took way longer than what I would usually do but the end result looks a lot better. I wouldn't do this for a comic or animation since it's so time-consuming but it was fun to do :) anyway, I worked on this for some time since I could do only a bit per day. School is a lot haha but I'll have a ton of time to draw over the long weekend ^^ Song is Midnight by Alesso Art by me Design by Some code by
