Coral and Skyla - Moped Sale [Commission]
So this morning I found out that 
Rismic passed away. I wasn't really close to her, but she was honestly the most fun person to work with.She had fun ideas, and her characters were just fleshed out enough, and open enough, to always give fun ideas and enough freedom to work with. I don’t know the details of her passing, and don’t feel it’s appropriate to ask, but she did leave with me 2 commissions.
I was really excited to do them, and still fully intend to. Here’s the first, which has a sort of funny story, in that I was the one to approach her with the idea. I thought of a transformed Naga selling their moped, cause, well, there’s no way should could fit, and I immediately thought of Rismic’s Coral. I wish I could have shown her the finished piece. It was hard to stop working on it.
I'm going to miss drawing her characters. It's been a really fun working with her this past year.

I'm honestly speechless. I had seen she wasn't around for a while, I assumed she just wanted a break....
She was always very chipper. It was never a dull moment with her. I just wished I didn't go to her to revise ideas so much.
Excellent work on this though. I don't compliment your work enough.

Yeah, like, I only noticed because it was really wierd for her not to get back to me, then I noticed the shouts on her profile page. Which is admittedly a little embarrassing because I watch some people who have talked about it. I kinda spent like, the last 12 hours trying to like, work my way through how I felt about it. Streaming helped me get through this, and finishing this helped.
Thank you for the compliment! :>

It always sucks to find out one of us goes, and even more when they were close to you. I'm sorry for your lose, but its when someone like you has to keep their memory warm, and alive. Let them rest. Again sorry for your lose, and their family. *bows deeply* I believe they know you morn for them.
Yeah, a big part of the shock for me was like, I had just been talking with her. Like, the last conversation I had with her was her approving the sketches for these commissions, and when I asked for feedback on them, she never read those messages. ._.
It took like, all of today for me to really like, calm down, and drawing this helped me out a lot. Like I couldn't not do these at this point.

I'm conflicted about that. Like I really enjoy drawing Coral, but don't know how I feel about like, if I were to basically take over a character like that? Or just as importantly, how would her friends feel about that?
It's just sort of a big mess. If nothing else, at some point I'll probably design my own characters more, like flesh out the ones I have, or make new ones. Make characters who aren't bound to role-playing games, since those have their own sort of narrative that both inspires art, and kinda limits what I can do, since they're all fantasy characters from a single setting for now.

That's sad to hear. I never met her myself, but a lot of my favorite illustrations since I first found FA have been commissions for her. She came up with a wealth of interesting ideas and characters, and she seemed to have a knack for finding the most talented artists to bring them into reality. I'm going to miss seeing new ideas of hers, but I'm grateful that we all got to see so many of them while she was here.
I did not know Rismic myself, but I've been a fan of a lot of the things she's commissioned. Honestly, there are a lot of things she commissioned that I didn't even realize were hers until after I learned she passed. (Coral, for instance, I hadn't made the connection on until a couple days ago...)
Honestly, I really love Coral's design, I loved the TF that led to Coral's snakeyness... just very pleasing to look at.
As I said, I did not know Rismic personally, but I'm to understand she was a very private person. At the same time, in a way, I almost feel I got to know her in a way through what she had commissioned. Honestly, this isn't the first time someone I was at the very least familiar with has passed... but this is definitely the time it's hit the hardest. I'm not sure why, but I sort of feel that, in a way, she sorta touched all of us with her ideas and imagination. It's scary to know that someone with so much spirit and potential could just be... gone.
All I can say is, I hope she is at peace now, and... since she loved the other drawings of Coral you did for her, I can only imagine that she would love this one, too.

It's been so fun seeing all this 'Slice of Life' work based on a newly made naga, and this piece is no less entertaining.. just bittersweet, with the thought of the owner's passing. Thank you -very- much for continuing with the commissions. Hopefully somewhere, somehow she's able to see these. That'd be a nice thought.
