UMAE 2024 - Where did you get that suit?

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 12/4/2024 What's going on here? Some Context: Will-15's obsession with Haze . - - - - -      Will-23 was in the Unlight when he was approached by Guinevere Ter Avest, who had something she wanted him to try out. Guinevere is aware that Will has issues with Necromancy in the Unlight and his alchemy isn't the greatest. She offered him a bodysuit made of magical licorice that allows him to cast Pyromancy through his soul magic with ease.      Naturally Will-15 found out about this and wants to know where he got that suit. It's bad enough that Will-15 can't get his own ANTIMagic Haze and now this?! Will-23 gets all the cool stuff... - - - - -      No, Will-23 does not get everything handed to him on a silver platter. It's just that he knows the right people and has the right set of issues that require regular attention. He has immense trouble summoning his partner devil, Faustus, in the U...

UMAE 2024 - Dire Fairy Yale

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 11/23/2024 - - - - -      This is Yale, UMAE's equivalent of Puck from Berserk ... No, really. Despite not having read Berserk, I am fairly well versed with the series and got inspired back in 2017 (I think) to draw up a character referencing Puck. What and who is Yale? - - - - -      Yale is what is known as a Dire Fairy. These chaotic Fae typically show up in the early days of a civilization alongside their normal fae kin... except these little stinkers tend to linger, as opposed to their kin leaving for greener pastures. They mess with humans, pulling tricks and pranks on them. As to why they haven't been discovered, they are crafty. Dire Fairies are well versed in manipulation and deception, making most think their targets are delusional or unwell.      Yale is a bit unique in that he was requested by Archmage Milan of Ertheval to look after Will after the incident at the Hermetic...

UMAE 2024 - Dark Angel Zozena

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 11/9/2024      I may have gone overboard on this one... Remember when I uploaded Dark Angel Valentina ? Well I wanted to redo that one and make it the way it was envisioned in my head... The image is now 13 megabytes. Oops.      Also I am not going to replace the old drawing as I consider this different enough to warrant it being its own upload.      Valentina's angel name is Zozena. You can actually find this name in The Sworn Book of Honorius . That's it, that's the lore update. There is a reason for me to do something like this as the next short story will be focusing on Val. Hopefully I can get it started next week. I would have done so this week, but I needed to flesh some things out.

UMAE 2024 - Catlock

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 11/1/2024 - - - - -      I had the idea for a cat form and wanted to draw something using how cloudy it was this morning. Have some Dark Void lore to go along with it.      The Dark Void will get its own lore entry, but it was covered in the lore entry on IGL. Lore Entry 20 will tell you what you need to know about the realm. - - - - -      The Dark Void is a bizarre place and can interact differently with various entities. In the case of ANTIMagic Haze, he assumes his physical form. Normally this is optional for him when he is in the Unlight, but the Dark Void forces him into his physical form. This prevents him from merging with people.      Will on the other hand gains a new form called "Catlock." Catlock appears to be an alteration to Will's Deadlock persona. Normally Will can only access aspects of his true self, Zasiel, in realms like Inferno. The Dark Void allows...

UMAE 2024 - Ludwig Leichenberg

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 10/30/2024 - - - - -      Here's the Ludwig revamp I've been meaning to get around to. This is just the character reference, so nothing fancy. I do want to draw Ludwig doing stuff regardless.      Lore? There is no new lore. Check out Lore Entry 15 on Universe-0X if you want to know more about him. Don't worry, I'll get around to fixing it. Here's the Tumblr post if you don't want to wait.      Are the previous suits still canon? Yes. In the time it took Ludwig to regain his memories, he went through several suits, trying to discover who he was. Since Ludwig is actually a winged dog demon, I figured it was time to give him a canine influence. Also I drew his full face. Yeah, the "hiding his identity" thing from the first drawing is being somewhat retconed. The suit is polymateria-based magical glass by the way.

UMAE 2024 - A suit like that...

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 10/25/2024 - - - - -      This is a Universe-15 (Phantasm LLC) drawing, but I think I am going to count it towards UMAE given that it's a Universe-23 centered drawing. But hey! It's Sam-15, finally. - - - - - A little Universe-15 lore:      Sam in universe-15 is a secretary at Arcane-Life, specifically for the CEO, Ellen-15. Ellen-15 works closely with the M.A.I.G. of universe-15. Of course, Sam doesn't get to see all of the neat stuff... until Will comes along and shows her documents he has to study, since he is a member of M.A.I.G. after all. To be fair, Sam does want to join M.A.I.G., but she needs to prove herself capable of the job first.      As for ANTIMagic Haze, Will-15 is incredibly envious of Will-23 (ULTRAMagic Ignition). Will-15 has even contemplated joining the ULTRAMagic Guild to see if he can get his own Haze. Haze is a fascinating entity and Will-15 has been using his...

UMAE 2024 - Raisa Frankenstein

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 9/29/2024 - - - - -      Oh hey, I finally got Raisa drawn and uploaded. She's only been sitting around since 2017 and has gone through multiple revisions, no biggie. Despite this looking like me tracing one of my drawings in an art program, I referenced the original drawing that would have been scanned.      So who is Raisa? I recommend checking out ULTRAMagic Chaos, as she pops up there. As for who she is, here's some basic information: - - - - -      Raisa was created by Victor Frankenstein in the mid 2000s after he had been stricken with inspiration. Essentially he felt that after roughly 300 years, he was ready to try building a person again. Both Abraham (Van Helsing) and Adam (his first creation) were not thrilled about this. Victor had Raisa completed only for her to vanish. Naturally Adam rubbed this in his face as karma.      What happened to Raisa? Delphine, ...

UMAE 2024 - The Xanthous King

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 9/18/2024 What is the Xanthous King? - - - - -      The Xanthous King is a gestalt entity created by the criminal Valentin “Perkele” Haganno Karppinen. 50 wicked souls were forced together in the hopes of creating an entity strong enough to overthrow the universe... the only issue is that the disparate souls cannot work together to solve a crossword puzzle. Theoretically the King could be as strong as ULTRAMagic Dreadnaught (one of the strongest known mages of the ULTRAMagic Guild), but the King is too chaotic to make use of his vast strength.      Out of the 50 souls that make up the King, 15 have persisted, gathering together in groups of 5 that form the 3 archetypes of the King. There is the Brute (the violent and aggressive personality), The Schemer (the cunning and deceptive personality, and The Penitent (the calm and remorseful personality). What we see here is the penitent, favored by the com...

UMAE 2024 - Captured By Shark

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 9/15/2024 - - - - - Shark: Alright, just a minute! Will: Seriously, Shark, Mary is NOT going to be thrilled about this. She's probably already busted whoever put the bounty on my head... Shark: (muttering) Blast, he's probably right... and I really wanted that money too... - - - - -      Shark is another bounty hunter, like Mary Pickford . You can read more about them in this lore entry . Here's the story:      Shark accepted a bounty placed on Will's head for his capture. He lured Will into an isolated location, hosed him down with an experimental hardening goo, and went to go watch TV. When the criminal comes to pay up, Shark will betray them, free Will, and have Will turn the criminal into the authorities. Shark walks away with the money and another criminal is behind bars. IT'S FOOLPROOF! Disregarding the fact that Mary is already on her way.

UMAE 2024 - Magically Wrapped Up

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 9/14/2024 Sam: Alright, I just need to place this here and... Wait a second! Boyo, did you push me aside to save me? or did you just want to get all wrapped up? Will: Why ntt bothh? Sam: You naughty little stinker... Oh look, I accidentally spilled the incense sticks and need to pick them up. Give me a moment. - - - - -      Blame 2000s action cartoons having their characters get wrapped up like mummies for this one. Sam and Will were investigating an abandoned house believed to be used by The Death Knell Coven at one point when Will triggered a booby trap. "Because, Inferno; When expecting booby traps, always send a boob in first."      That Beast Wars quote's not relevant, I just thought it was funny. I want to make it clear that if we ever go into a place with booby traps, I will be the one to get mummified, not you guys. Other than all of that, there's not much to say, so I'll leave it there.

UMAE 2024 - The Witch

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally uploaded on: 9/8/2024 Who is The Witch? - - - - -      No one really knows who The Witch is. She's classified as a type 4 ghost by M.A.I.G. of Universe-15 and Universe-23 and has no clear cut origin. She claims she was burned in the Salem witch trials, but this cannot be confirmed through historical records. M.A.I.G.-23 has even asked the Time Watcher Zal-Rint, who also cannot confirm The Witch's story. Suspicions that she is a Primordial, but the three great primordial mages (Tiberius, Vexation, and Deimos) have confirmed she was not The Witch of Old.      Given her obsession with Will-15 and her noticeable attraction to men, a new theory has been proposed: Will-23 accidentally created The Witch. This would not be without precedent, as Will-23 has accidentally created ANTIMagic Mages in the past (Colony and Eon). Will-23 is one the more unstable primordials and if the conditions were right, The Witch could hav...

UMAE 2024 - Stretchy Chaos Haze

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 9/3/2024      This time I felt like drawing Chaos Haze's elasticity. Something I have to raise an issue with when it comes to stretchy characters is when people draw the character stretching all over the place. It doesn't feel realistic to me. If you like that, pay no mind to me. Anyways, is there any lore? Not really. This is just a showcase of Chaos Haze's elasticity.

UMAE 2024 - Chaos Haze out and about

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 9/1/2024      Given that my laptop is on the fritz ( Context: at the time of originally posting ), what better time to try my hand at DRAWING WITH MY MOUSE! I have Krita, my mouse has adjustable dpi, let's freaking do this! Full disclosure: I used a scene from Spider-Man 3 as a reference.  - - - - -      There are many locations where members of the ULTRAMagic Guild can test their mettle and improve their skills. One location is the Cliffs of Darkness. This wasteland of towering, obsidian mountains is pretty rough and perilous for most. Fortunately Will has Haze. In this form, Will has incredibly versatile elasticity. And if the worst case scenario occurs, Will can use Haze's Soul Fire to burn a hole into the Obsidian to steady himself. - - - - -      12/20/2025 Me here-allow me to expand on the fact that I basically traced a scene from Spider-Man 3 . I wouldn't call this a full tr...

UMAE 2024 - Andrew Gruell

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/8/2024 - - - - -      Andrew Gruell, The Ragdoll of Old, is a quasi-forbidden primordial who likes to wander and explore. Much like his friend, The Taffy of Old, Andrew was deemed safe enough to persist into the modern era of the Cosmos. After his job in the epoch of the Cosmos was done, he realized The Unlight had a lot to offer for exploration. Currently he goes off exploring and brings souvenirs and stories from his adventures to Taffy.      Naturally Andrew has crossed paths with the Descendants on multiple occasions. The most noteworthy is when he helped a young Englehart and Radovan in aiding the Haugen's take Shadowland back from the Vozenilek's. The most recent encounter was when Dragoslava Raynot was off exploring and retrieving some materials for a friend. The two had a nice chat about The Unlight and what they had found over the years.      While Andrew is not a fighter, he ...

UMAE 2024 - Megalo-Haze Will

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 8/16/2024 What's going on here? I came up with a new form for ANTIMagic Haze. Also given that I obscure Will-23's eyes, I decided to make a stylistic choice to show one eye to give this drawing a little character. - - - - -      ULTRAMagic Ignition has never been one to settle on one design for too long, occasionally desiring to change things up. After watching a video game trailer, Will went to Haze and presented him with the idea for a new form called "Megalo-Haze." In this form, Will focuses on hand to hand combat, turning his fists into destructive gauntlets capable of packing a mean punch.      In a surprise turn of events, Archmage Milan of Ertheval invited Will to come along with him to the Tower of Babel in the Unlight. Milan needed a partner for the expedition and he wanted to get to know Will a little better. Little did the two realize that they would accidentally stumble into the past and wi...

UMAE 2024 - The Grass God

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 7/18/2024      So after revisiting the atrocity that was the Zetsu retcon in Naruto Shippuden, the gears in my brain got turning and now we have a new demigod. If you do not know what the gods are in UMAE, I have a lore entry here for you. - - - - -      The gods are not very well known to Earth. They are fairly obscure due to their higher dimensional status. When they do make themselves known to Earth, it is cause for concern. The Anomaly Containment Foundation (ACF for short) recently stumbled across such an entity. Through some research, it was discovered to be The Grass God.      The Grass God made himself known by essentially inserting himself into a shonen manga series through a rather controversial retcon. Many believe this was just a publisher mandate, but the ACF quickly discovered it was actually the work of a bored and mischievous demigod. Thankfully no one has caught onto th...

UMAE 2024 - Will and Inkblot

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/30/2024      Here's another one of Will's Devils. This on is Inkblot, an ink devil. Let's get into some brief lore. Side note, I really need to do a lore entry for Devils. - - - - -      It is not uncommon for Necromancer's to have contracts with multiple devils. In Will's case, he has 7. They consist of Faustus, Mira, Cliff, Mayhem, Inkblot, Voltage, and Dolus & Iocus... Inkblot showed up when Will started to get his memories back from the incident that separated him from Faustus. Seeing that he was trying to be an artist and having troubles, Inkblot took pity on him and became one of his devils.      Inkblot focuses on creativity, using his ink to create temporary constructs to aid his summoner. As for the magician, they gain access to his shape shifting and elasticity, albeit to a lesser degree than Inkblot himself. It should be noted that when ink leaves the two, it's just demo...

UMAE 2024 - Teunis, ULTRAMagic Ex

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 6/30/2024      Hey! Ex finally has a face! Who's ULTRAMagic Ex? This guy . If this looks familiar, I totally did not repurpose this design because HYDEAlt is never going to materialize... Is there some lore? A little. - - - - -      In the distant past, a mage would be cast out from his universe and would find himself in the Unlight. His original name is lost to history, but now he goes by the name of Teunis Van Hautum. Teunis was lost and confused until he was discovered by the kingdom of Feuerland. Here it was discovered that he had golden blood (something he did not have in his old life).      Teunis and Andelin Lindbeck both had gold blood, causing great upheaval for The Thundering Order, the ruling church of Feuerland. The kingdom had grown corrupt by then, with two individuals seeking to kick start a rebellion. Sir Gideon Arlotti and Duke Gerlach Haugen used the chaos to overthrow...

UMAE 2024 - Walter Nithercott

Image
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon Originally drawn on: 5/29/2024      Let's talk about Walter. Do you need to read anything? Umm... well you can look at the original design . No idea how the lore is going to hold up once we get to ULTRAMagic Intermission. - - - - - What's new? Walter is from Universe-0Z, the same universe as Weaver and Torunn. Walter is still a ghost, but now he is classified as a Type 3 Ghost. He is very close to being classified as a Type 4 Ghost, but misses several crucial criteria. Walter's family are familiar with the Craddock's, having hired them to deal with Earth Beasts (bestial Earth Spirits that plague Earth-0Z) Humans from Universe-0Z are notable for their unique skin colors and hair. Males typically have cool skin colors while females typically have warm skin colors. Green is a rare skin color that can pop up in either males or females - - - - -      And that's it. Expect this design to be refined in the future. The general con...
