UMAE 2023 - Will-15

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 2/12/2023 - - - - - - - 2015 Vs. 2023 - - Will 2015 is very similar to Will 2023, but also very different at the same time. To start things off, we shall bring up the major differences between the two counterparts. Will 2015 is an Incubus as opposed to Will 2023 who is a Dullahan. It is unclear why this is, but it is suspected that this is due to the influence of Tanya Devilfay. Will 2015 has unique magic, making his aptitude Aberrant Magic. He still is a Necromancer, however. Whereas Will 2023 is closer to the Liger Brigade and Antares Briggs, Will 2015 is closer to M.A.I.G. and Trumna Wintergate. The 2015 timeline is not as connected to the Unlight as the 2023 timeline is. Will 2015 met Sam WAY earlier than Will 2023 did.      Something to note is that these two timelines are not too far away from each other in the Prometheus mega cluster. Residents of the 2023 universe have ventured into the 2015 universe and ...

UMAE 2023 - Mary Pickford

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 12/16/2023 - - - - - ???: You misunderstand us, Ms. Pickford. We do not wish to eliminate the target, we merely want to retrieve him. Mary: Okay, that's better. Still, what do you want with Will? ???: He is amongst a group of individuals of interest to us. We believe Will in particular to be related to a specific primordial. Mary: Right... Well he's allied with some powerful groups. You better make it worth my while if I'm going to have Antares and Trumna breathing down my neck again... ???: We'll offer you 75% upfront and 100% more if you bring him to us with sound body and mind. Mary: GRAND COULEE DAM! I'll have to apologize to Will profusely after this... - - - - -      Mary Pickford is a bizarre anomaly of an individual under close watch by The Liger Brigade and M.A.I.G. She's one of the few known 2 dimensional entities existing within the 3rd dimension. The other stand out trait is that she seems to be...

UMAE 2023 - Shadow Haze

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 11/25/2023 - - - - -      ANTIMagic Haze is a tricky entity to keep track of. Given his bizarre existence, he easily escapes containment. The Liger Brigade's attempt ended when Haze possessed one of the guards guarding his containment cell. Thankfully, Haze would be drawn to Will/ULTRAMagic Shadow (a special agent of the Liger Brigade). The two would form a friendship that would lead to Haze sticking around Will. This was a relief for the brigade and M.A.I.G. as now they could keep an eye on Haze. Then Dr. Reynard Woodall (lead scientist of M.A.I.G.) put forth an unsettling idea: If Haze exists, then what's stopping other entities like him from existing? They got lucky with Haze because he made himself easy to detect. His ilk would be even harder to find than typical ANTIMagic Mages.      Will seems to be amongst a type of people that are able to influence Haze when symbiosis is formed. In Will's case,...

UMAE 2023 - Wrong Costume

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 10/26/2023 - - - - -      Will was invited to a Halloween party when he realized he did not have a good costume. Not wanting to spend money on a costume that could potentially not suit him, he resorted to his magic. Using his necromancy, he quickly found out all of his partners were at their own Halloween parties... Fortunately a group of wandering will-o-wisps volunteered to help Will out... The Moral of this story? Do not ask mischievous ghosts to help you with your Halloween costume. - - - - - This is all Will's fault for being picky and not just buying a costume from the party store. Now he has to go as a Pumpkin.      This was extremely off the cuff and based on another idea I was discussing with one of my friends. That drawing will hopefully happen, but it will be a part of Phantasm LLC. Also hey, I managed to get out a GOOD Halloween drawing this year (2023). Well... it's mostly good, I think. Y...

UMAE 2023 - Bran Lommel

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 11/16/2023 - - - - - Name: Bran Thatcher Lommel Species: Succubus (rare variant) Gender: Male Age: 67 (as of 2024) Height: 6 foot Aptitude: Aberrant Specialty: Soul      Who is Bran Lommel? He is a succubus scientist who works for the Magic Anomaly Investigation Group (M.A.I.G.). He succeeded his father, Axel Lommel, after he retired. Currently Bran researches whatever he wants when not under orders from Dr. Reynard. Bran is a rare, male succubus. Succubi are typically female and males do not occur naturally. The exception to this is when a Succubus has a child with a human or other compatible species that is not a demon. Bran's mother, Tora, is a clumsy yet incredibly smart succubus who fell madly in love with Axel. Bran is one of the more unorthodox members of M.A.I.G. His projects are eccentric, but his research is valued. Normally he would not have been hired as scientist, but Tora and Axel advocated for him. Bra...

UMAE 2023 - Spiritus Magni Maxima

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 11/8/2023 - - - - - Lore Entry 11 - - - - -      I wanted to do two things: 1) Create more connective tissue between the Spiritus Magni and the Unlight and 2) Try out a unique color scheme in line with the other Spiritus Magni. Yes, I'll concede, I was inspired by the retconned Warhammer 40k lore about Malal. Also I totally didn't use art of Judge Dredd as the reference for this art. I think this turned out way better than my first attempts at doing profiles for Octavia and Drusa.      I definitely had fun with the design and the lore. Also there may or may not be some lore foreshadowing for ULTRAMagic Interlude in Maxima's lore...

UMAE 2023 - Sleeping Soundly

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 10/24/2023      I am not fixing the title. Don't like it? Sue me then. Anyways... I got nothing. This is a drawing of Blood-Wraith sleeping soundly. Originally I was going to upload it on October 26th 2023, but I realized it was more thematically appropriate for this week (November) given the conclusion of ULTRAMagic Prelude.      Lore? For what? It's Blood-Wraith sleeping... oh, I'm sorry: Sleepy soundly. This is what happens when you have a lazy family member who can't be arsed to help out around the house... you lose your mind. Blood-Wraith is lucky because he doesn't have deal with this kind of nonsense... On the other hand, there is some stuff you can check out to learn more about this drawing: UMAE - Blood-Wraith Raynot & ULTRAMagic Prelude (Read the entire story. I am NOT lore dumping)      Should I have done something more interesting? Maybe, maybe not. You can't fault me ...

UMAE 2023 - Blood-Wraith Raynot

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 10/18/2023 - - - - -      Being one of the first members of The ULTRAMagic Guild, Blood-Wraith embodies the early days of the guild. The majority of these members always brought something unique to the table, from origins to abilities. Blood here has the power to take on Alternate forms. Each of these grant him specific traits and abilities. Each one was derived from soul fragments he had acquired and were formed based on his surroundings at the time. The forms include Indigo Wolf, Violet Train, Golden Dragon, Verdant Might, Azure Spider, Ochre Serpent, and Crimson Man.      Blood-Wraith's being is also unique, being a physically manifested Soul. Souls in the cosmos cannot normally be perceived by man. They can appear as ghosts, but these are usually just embodiments of emotion. The Unlight, however, allows for all sorts of things. In Blood's case, the metal body parts of his original form allowed his ...

UMAE 2023 - Erika and Reynard

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 10/5/2023 & 10/11/2023 - - - - - - - The return of Two Infamous Primordials - -      The Primordials were a group of entities tasked with testing the stability of the Cosmos back when God first created it. Once the Cosmos were stable enough for everyone to live in, the Primordials were expected to reincarnate. Some did not comply, becoming rogue Primordials. The two most notable examples are The Dragon of Old and The Lich of Old. In this case, something different happened. There were two Primordials God tasked with creation, that being The Sulfur of Old and The Mercury of Old. These two rivals created many things... until they fell in love. This union resulted in the creation of three new Primordials: The Fear of Old, The Hunger of Old, and The Child of Old.      This was unacceptable and dangerous, so God called upon The Evangelist of Old and The Watchman of Old to deal with the issue. The Evangel...

UMAE 2023 - Morrigan Devilfay Again

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 9/27/2023 - - - - -      The thirst for adventure is a tricky thing. It strikes at the oddest time in the strangest of places. Morrigan's time had finally come thanks to the adventures of Gabriella Pari. Of course Morrigan was in a bit over her head at first given that she had entered the Unlight during a very turbulent series of events. The city of Shadowland was facing a major upheaval, but that did not stop the ambitious succubus from seeking out the blacksmith Weaver Craddock to make her a weapon. From that point on the sky was the limit as she conquered her way through undiscovered lands, acquiring the assistance of various Unlight tribes along the way. Little did she realize how interesting things would get when she crossed paths with the ULTRAMagic Guild and Empress Eliza-Rex.      As we all know, Morrigan is an emanation of Marion "Tanya" Devilfay. There are some very interesting quirks to this...

UMAE 2023 - ULTRAMagic Shadow Again

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 9/20/2023 - - - - -      ULTRAMagic Shadow is one of the newest members of the ULTRAMagic Guild, a guild of mages and warriors in The Unlight. They are dedicated to seeking out ULTRAMagic neophytes and making sure no one disrupts the balance of the Cosmos (to the best of their ability). An important fact here is that Will did not choose his title, he inherited it. Shadow was previously Aoife Crawford, who now goes by ULTRAMagic Devil. Regardless, Will was welcomed with open arms. There was the issue of the fact that Will is a bit shy and stubborn. Typically mages with form teams and recruit other guild members into said teams. Infinity and Walker have offered Will to join, but he keeps getting nervous and declines.      Will would come to the attention of ULTRAMagic Richter... Richard Callahan is an explosive Scotsman with some Irish blood in him who is never too far from a bottle of whiskey. He also h...

UMAE 2023 - Corentin Schindewolf

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/28/2023 - - - - -      Corentin Marin Schindewolf is a resident of The Iron City in the The Unlight. He is an Alchemist and Scientist who is also the son of the blacksmith Barna Schindewolf. As a kid, Corentin loved to experiment with stuff. His earliest experiments were conducted on the scraps of his father's projects. Seeing his son's developing interests, Barna began collecting books for him. For the longest time Corentin stuck to scientific experiments, but eventually his interests expanded to Alchemy. This is when things got interesting. His experiments began getting more involved and complex, leading to accidents and incidents every week. Corentin's habit of overloading the electrical grids nearly every week eventually caught the attention of Duke Radovan and King Englehart.      Seeing everyone label Corentin as mad concerned his father, the duke, and the king. The three got together and start...

UMAE 2023 - Dark Angel Valentina

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 8/6/2023 - - - - - - - Dark Angels - -      Angels and demons are a ubiquitous pair of entities for both Heaven and Hell respectively. Typically Angels are inclined towards light and demons are inclined towards darkness. This has no bearing on their alignment, just the nature of their being. Nothing is set in stone, however. A rare type of Angel occasionally appears, referred to as Dark Angels. These Angels are inclined towards darkness as opposed to light. These are not to be confused with Gray Angels, Angels whose affinity are both light and darkness. Typically these angels are more roguish and combative. Their abilities also focus more on darkness rather than light. Despite this, they often pop up in Heaven and are welcomed with open arms. - - Valentina - -      Valentina was a dark angel who wanted to explore the Cosmos. She had always been the curious type, wanting to explore and experiment. D...

UMAE 2023 - ULTRAMagic Reaper

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Context: Since I forwent lore back when I uploaded this to DA for stupid reasons, I will include the full description of the original DA post. Cronus thankfully appears in ULTRAMagic Interlude (Bonus Chapters) , ULTRAMagic Eon 1 , and ULTRAMagic Eon 2 , so there are some places where you can gather some lore about him. Originally drawn on: 4/23/2023 - 6/3/2023      STOP! HOLD UP! Please allow me to explain why I decided to upload another character profile when I should be drawing scenes and uploading story chapters: I'm practicing and trying new stuff again. Specifically I wanted to try out Stabilization/smoothing and more complex shading. Stabilization slows down the brush so the lines are smoother and the shading I am trying is basically adding another layer for darker parts.      The reason why I am practicing is because I have some interesting drawings in the pipeline and I want them to be GOOD right out the gate. So ...

UMAE 2023 - Tusk Willfort

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 8/9/2023 - - - - - If you wish to learn more about this character, I insist that you read ULTRAMagic Prelude . As for the basics:      Tusk is a Tree Person living in The Unending Forest, always found within The Unlight. The Tree People are a species of Humanoid trees that mind their own business and keep to the forest. They are a peaceful people unless disturbed, in which they will return the favor. The Tree People tend to be traders, craftsmen, scholars, mages, alchemists, and blacksmiths. They are widely known throughout The Unending Forest and are also regarded for being in tune with the forest itself.      Tusk is a loner and a sullen mage. He prefers to spend his time wherever he can be alone, usually to sleep or ponder his thoughts. He is always well hidden, being difficult to find. Of course, his family members always know where he is. He was not always like this, however. Something happened th...

UMAE 2023 - Drusa, Goddess of Death

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 7/3/2023 - - - - - So what has Drusa been up to? In the time between the fall of Atlantis and now, Drusa has risen from 5th dimensional to 6th dimensional status. Spiritus Magni Vita was always leery of Drusa being on the same dimensional level as her... and now she has been surpassed by her. It was bad enough when Julia surpassed her and now Drusa of all people? Good lord... Speaking of Julia, She is a lost Spiritus Magni. She is lost in the sense she went MIA upon becoming 7th dimensional, see Vita's chagrin above. Drusa wanted to know what Julia was up to, so she set out to find her. One night when she was dreaming, Drusa ran into Julia in the dream realm... as a physical entity. To physically enter the dream realm, you need to be 6th dimensional or higher. Naturally when Drusa finally made it to 6D and entered the dream realm, she had so many questions for Julia... she also had to fill her in on the fall of Atlantis. Drusa...

UMAE 2023 - Lance and Infinity

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/12/2023 - - - - - In regards to Infinity: Despite his specialty being Soul magic, Infinity is a bit of a savant when it comes to Alchemy. He has yet to create a Philosopher's Stone, but displays traits of a master Alchemist, as observed by Drusa and Hermes Trismegistus. Getting stuck in the rift did have its perks, allowing him to study Alchemy for an ungodly amount of time. Why he has not created a stone yet is unclear. It has also been questioned whether or not his aptitude is actually Alchemy, rather than Soul magic. Infinity is starting to branch out into Necromancy and Aura. Necromancy is not exactly necessary, but several of his fellow guild mates have pushed him to start learning it. Aoife made him start learning Aura after seeing his lacking physical strength. Even though he retired from the Reality Walkers, he has had to go back and clean up a few messes here and there. In regards to Lance: Lance despises it when yo...

UMAE 2023 - Infinity's Current Suit

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/11/2023 - - - - - - - The Unlight Tower of Babel? - -      The Unlight is affected by the universes it tries to mirror. It is very easy to find familiar landscapes, monuments, and buildings there. What many do not realize is that ideas can also influence the Unlight when they become truly ubiquitous. Humanities' obsession with building things bigger and bigger lead to the creation of The City of Monuments. This mostly uninhabited city in the Unlight lies close to all versions of Earth and contains buildings that are too big for humans or similar species to comfortably live in. Buildings that would normally be three stories and would only occupy a block or two become the size of towns and cities. One of the most noteworthy structures in the city is the Tower of Babel.      As far as we know, the Tower of Babel from the book of Genesis never actually existed... That was not going to stop it from poppin...

UMAE 2023 - Mercurius II

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 5/25/2023 - - - - - - - 6 Iterations back? - -      Every universe goes through cycles of expansion and contraction. These are referred to as "big bang cycles." Going further, higher dimensionals also refer to these as iterations. One might think that once an iteration ends, that is it... that is foolish, close minded, third dimensional thinking. Entities can easily escape their iteration if they were to go into a realm like Hell, Purgatory, or the Unlight. Some examples of such individuals are Aoife Crawford and Ignatius Daren Ford. Aoife is the oldest we know of... that we know of. One entity has persisted since 6 iterations prior to this big bang cycle.      Mercurius II is the son of Mercurius, or that is how third dimensionals interpret it. During his time, that version of Earth was focused heavily on Alchemy. Interestingly the next iteration would focus heavily on Necromancy, but that is beside t...

UMAE 2023 - Leonardo O'Nessie

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 5/17/2023 - - - - - Full name: Leonardo Hammond O'Nessie Age: 2 (Chronologically, not mentally) Gender: Male Species: Magic Construct Aptitude: Weave Specialty: Alchemy, Soul You can read the rest of Leo's lore here: Lore Entry 22 .  - - - - -      This took way too long to work on. So the missing stats and color guide... I wanted this to be a scene, not a character profile. I need to do more than just draw profiles. Also yes, this is taking place at the same exact time as when Elaine's drawing where Drusa is asking her to teach Roger Weave magic. This is what Leo was doing during that... practicing his Alchemy. Will I be updating Elaine's drawing to have a background? Maybe leaning towards yes.      I will do something about the color guide... I am thinking about making separate uploads just for the color guides, grouping them based on who the characters are. For instance, Ellen and the Rofocale'...
