Roselight art dump!

Hello!!!

It's been QUITE some time since the last post for which I must sincerely apologize (more to myself than to my 0.8 loyal follower). I've been working through an awesome Master's program in Space Architecture, and that plus moving plus all kinds of other things have meant Roselight hasn't been in the forefront of my mind for a while - though it shall forever remain somewhere in the depths of my psyche, ideas bouncing and dancing about the recesses of my brain.

Anyhow, I have recently started to get back into doodling little bits of art for the setting, so I want to make sure it gets recorded!

Firstly, the most significant bit of news: Noira has had a bit of a redesign! Really this is just the result of me revisiting her to try and emphasize the vibes I'd always wanted her to have, and I'm fairly proud of how this sketch captures the energy I'm going for.

This Noira sketch was also fun, based on a noir-era reference image I can't seem to find...

I've also been wanting to spend more time getting to know the characters in this setting, especially our beloved trio of rebels-to-be. As seen in a pretty old post, I've got an understanding of the basic dynamics, but I haven't done a lot of visualizing any of the scenarios I see in my head, so that's been the focus of some of my doodling:

Noira and Maliyah in particular have a bit of an awkward relationship, which Clare is only too happy to help moderate...but they all get along well at the end of the day.

And here's one of a hotheaded Maliyah looking moderately peeved at you:

I've always had visions of Clare and Maliyah taking Noira to experience Orus' vibrant undercity nightlife energy for the first time, and it's fun to be able to realize scenes like this one:

This environmental bit depicts busy regions of space around each of the worlds in the Rosa system! pr'Sefone has sparse orbital infrastructure, and mainly sees traffic coming and going from the Eterna spaceport at its north pole. irid'An features a glittering ring of luxury space habitats tightly bound to its equator, while Orus hosts several broad belts of shipyards and in-space manufacturing. 

And I leave you with a silly rendition of a meme that reminded me of Noira and her mentor Marion, who might be considerably more inclined to kill this guy.

That's all for this art dump, but I've been enjoying getting back into it! With any luck there'll be more to come in the next few months.
