🚧 SEPTEMBER 2026 XIVU ARATH (4/6) (Patreon)

Update: Sept 15: Xivu Arath inked and quick color flats! Details kicked my ass but her face gave me trouble due to picking what facial expressions to go. Her cape was added mostly to cover her kneeling layer.

Sword background was one and copy/flipped/rotated 6 more times. Don’t have PC/program to get 3D Hive sword to trace, was ready to do the usual eyeballing til googIe luck gave me a perfect angled random hive screenshot. Very happy how Xivu Arath & the armor looked, next step will be simple color touch ups. :)

===============

Sept 2: Rough sketch of Xivu Arath so far with the Navigator’s Raiment titan armor from season of Heresy. I’m happy I get to draw Xivu again

For armor legs, originally i had to pose to be near crouch/hunched over like xmen’s wolverine to match her base body’s kneeling apart. I think I prefer the armored legs to standing pose but cropped.

3 swords for the shibari, with the main sword binding her arms for both armored and noodle version. Two extra swords will be cross tied to her neck and thighs. Hoping to use those same two swords for the back when combining with the sword arm-bind for total of 3 swords.

Lastly, floating swords in the background will be drawn as one, fixed angle, then flipped/rotated around.
