Description *takes a deep breath in*

...boi.

I'm not even sure what to say now as while I was drawing this almost every thought shot through my head... all at once. So let's keep it simple:

Sparked Magic image for my handsome devil Jaiden . Fun thing is I actually imagine him being able to make small pebbles levitate even when he was just a kid but that was it, there was some strange "barrier" between his mind and the magic within him. So, in order to truly awaken it he had to break it and boi does this fella have to go big. Sooo yeh, in his case awakening the Spark was more like sparking the full potential. Gracefully somewhere up in the mountains, above the clouds in the middle of nowhere because cliche is love, cliche is life c':

I might even make a separate reff for Jad's couple possible "jaded" forms if I happen to feel like it, the general idea is that the easiest part is when his nails and fangs cover with jade-like crystal, next step is the curled/crooked horns and last the freely levitating pseudo-wings made from various shapes. The wings might be little different each time he summons/forms them, the general idea remains the same. He can't fly with those, only glide a little when he really, really wants it (not by jumping off a cliff and following the laws of gravity tho). Even when his main thing is going to be jade he can also shape-shift a little, otherwise he's something between an Archanist and Elementalist... will need to decide later which one will be official |D

I sincerely hope this works out as while I was shading I started to wonder if it'll even count as fullbody lmao
Oh, and I would've added blur effects here and there but SAI and Ps hate each other with sincere passion.

Aaand now off to drawing the entries for the neverending Tyrian event , time for Jad to brawl a bit with the big bad floof. I really hope I'll manage to make the required amount of entries between school and sleeping hhhh


Enjoy!

Dammit Jaiden take your meds.

Seriusly speaking, I like how Reos doesn't set strict guidelines how to magic, but allows creativity. Jaiden lives the fullest with his birth color and his name. Jade. Jaiden. Makes sense now.

He's been off meds since 1666. No hope here.

Just took some extra time to focus on detail, ARPG's problem is that often quantity comes over quality... But glad you think so, thankies!

A WIP, not just... a doodle, thankyouverymuch uvu
It was surprisingly relaxing to work on a full detailed piece for a change? It definitely won't be a problem to draw him like that again, I really enjoy the "Jaded" from I've given him

doodle is the part of WIP so same thing to me

also is this his full jade 'equipment' or does he has even more jaded form?

Mmmmnnnnnoooo, I have to disagree here as WIP is a WIP, doodle is something drawn really quickly, which has way less effort than a sketch. So basically when you say "doodle" about my detailed pieces it's even slightly offending lol

Jad can do basically anything with "Jaded" form, even cover himself fully with it or turn himself into moving "jade Vay statue". Sometimes he only covers and extends the nails into long crooked claws and that'll do the trick. Pretty much limitless options but since he's a show-off then the horns, fangs, nails and wings are the main thing.

finally you MAYBE understand how I feel when you blabber about me 'asianifying' things ewe
plus when did I say doodle about the finished piece? I called your sketch a DOODLE not 'detailed piece'
gebus

i bet the whole statue would be pain in the ass to draw. because all the reflections and shades oof

Hot damn this is such a cool idea?? I really love the dynamic pose and how you drew the jade, this looks amazing!

The main reason I kept Jaiden - I imagined the design and immediately got the idea of "jade" magic so... tadaa! Plus how the heck can you even draw a badass like him in plain poses?
Glad you like it, thank you! ;w;
