Headshot of my oc, Suzume Arataki!
truly
Hope you don't mind me answering this over here rather than my fandom blog! Wanted to draw a mer!Thorne design in response ^^
To answer your question- my first thought was immediately that Thorne would be a shark mermaid! (and more specifically, a Great White Shark). Making her one of the ocean's notable hunters seemed fitting.
There's not a whole lot of species specific notes for the design itself to be made- her tail moves side to side like most non-mammal aquatic creatures, and is countershaded (not seen here but the dark coloring stretches across her back and starts fading just as it gets to her neck). I don't know if the gills should logically be on her neck instead, but I really, really love torso/chest gills. And ofc she got the teeth and a big ol dorsal fin on her back.
She still gets into a lot of fights and trouble as a mermaid, so her tail is covered in additional scars. How many of these are from humans/fellow mermaids and how many are from sea creatures? idk lol. I just know the sharp teeth definitely make her more of a menace.
But ye that's about it. Thanks a whole lot for the ask @rainbowprisimatic!! <3 It was super fun getting to draw Thorne as a mermaid lol.
mutuals always making masterpieces and I think wow. and you're following me too. wild stuff

Another redraw of my old art. This one got quite a few upgrades/added details as opposed to my usual redraws.
The concept behind the character design was the whole "Snow White's description makes her sound like a vampire" thing (though instead of making Snow White a vampire, I made a vampire based on Snow White). Skin as white as snow, lips as red as roses, ebony black hair- you get the idea.
Old art (made in 2021) below the cut, as well as a version of the drawing without the background/scenery elements!
Part 2 of Old-ish oc references that I touched up rather than redrawing!
This is Ebony Crow (he/him). He is quite the serious academic, a shadow witch, the reserved and quiet type, and much like his mother is a magical prodigy. Unlike his mother however, he has no interest in playing the role of socialite and networking with upper class witches. He'd much rather be away studying and researching than be at any social event.
Other important things to know: He is currently being manipulated by a dark force, one connected to his mother and the history of Death Omens. And he is very close with his sister, Thorne.
Quick run down of his runes (sigils):
Lock- Prevents anyone but the caster from opening or moving whatever the rune has been applied to.
Protection- Reinforces clothing against both (certain) magics and physical attacks.
Disruption- Disrupts (low level) magical eavesdropping, locating, and otherwise spying attempts.
Shock(?)- Still a bit unsure about this one, but if I keep it at "shock" then when activated it would emit a shock of electricity created by channeling the user's magic into storm magic.
Testing out a new look for my Oc Thorne! Will hopefully be able to make a new and improved ref sheet for her soon.
