Base colours!
She's an orange-themed character. In my story, she will most likely be in her school uniform most of the time. Currently, that outfit is purple.
FINALLY! A POSE GONE RIGHT!
I've been working on relearning all the drawing skills I lost and one of the most difficult things for me has been dynamic poses.
This is my OC Ciera and I thought I would try out this pose with her as she's the easiest to draw.
It's not perfect, but it's loads better than my other attempts! I'm going to ink and color her in!
Here's the final line art! I may adjust some things before I start colouring (like that hairline) This is the first successful digital piece that I've made using a screenless tablet and I'm really excited to complete it!
If this goes well, I can start illustrating my other characters!

Here's the cleaned up sketch!
I was actually digitally inking it tonight but accidentally lost all my progress š©š©š© I'll start over this weekend, because my hand isn't used to drawing on a tablet.

Hereās a little sneak peek of the fanfic i promised you all on my Lenaās post~ ;3
Raienne: wha- YOU?! What are you doing here?!
Phantasmo: *mentally:* āAw shit⦠who would have thought that the woman iāve sent that email was the mother of that brat⦠well, it matters not, iāll just make this quick~ā Hello~ uh⦠āniceā to see you again⦠no?
Raienne: you speak for yourself, whereās Victor? I was supposed to meet him here.
Phantasmo: Ah, iām afraid that⦠Victor is rather busy at the moment, so, he said you could make yourself comfortable and wait for him⦠or⦠you could have the job interview with me~
Raienne: Hmpf⦠frankly, men like to waste a womanās time⦠out of my way, big guy.
Phantasmo: oh, donāt you worry dear~ we are going to get started⦠now~
š§?
Oliver: there you go friend! One piece of cheese on the house!
Cat got the kittyās tongue~?
Nykui met Dr. Phantasmo when a bunch of teenagers challenged him to enter the mad scientistās mansion⦠and of course, him being the stubborn runt he is, he wanted to show these ākidsā how brave he truly is (at first he was a little apprehensive but⦠he didnāt want to come off as a cowardā¦)
So, with all his courage (and stubbornness), he entered the mansion⦠he explored the first corridors of the building and⦠he was starting to notice that it wasnāt so-
That is, until said teenagers locked him inside the mansionā¦
Nykui: g-guys� Come on: stop being immature you all! Let me out!
The group of mean teenagers laughed at him and asked him if he was chickening out⦠then, Nykui heard them scream and run away⦠little did he knew that the ādevilā himself captured two souls of the mean teenagersā¦
Without knowing what was going on, Nykui started scratching the front door of the building⦠but to no use⦠so, without much choice, Nykui went to find another exit from the mansionā¦
Nykui: calm down Nyu-nyu⦠itās just⦠an abandoned mansion⦠no big dealā¦
As he passed through the corridors, he would look at the paintings of the same two people: a big and tall man with a goatee and a ponytail and a woman with a beret and black hair⦠he sometimes felt⦠being watched by said paintingsā¦
Until he⦠smelled something⦠fresh and delicious⦠but that quickly made him feel⦠suspicious⦠he thought: āeither there is already some homeless person living here or⦠nah⦠or maybe it couldā¦?ā
Our brave (and stubborn) kitty arrived to the mansionās kitchen: it was⦠half cleaned and half a mess⦠almost as if⦠someone was cleaning this place just now⦠he looked at the table and⦠his mouth began to water and his stomach began to growl:
In front of him there was some pancakes with chocolate sauce and-! Cinnamon sugar beignets! His favorite!
He quickly went closer to the table and grabbed a handful of cinnamon sugar beignets but⦠before he popped them into his mouth⦠he quickly felt a sense of foreboding⦠he looked around with his eyes narrowed (and still with the treats on his hands) and said:
Nykui: ā¦This isnāt a trap⦠is itā¦?
???: āThatās for me to know⦠and for you to find out my little rascal friend~ā
Nykui quickly jumped startled (and dropping a few treats on the floor) and began shaking⦠but he wanted to stand his ground and appear brave⦠he placed the leftover treats from his hands on the table and puffed out his chest and said:
Nykui: w-who are you� Are you the so feared villain that everyone keeps talking about�
???: hmm⦠perhaps~ why donāt you take⦠a look behind you~? Mhhm~?
Oho⦠that certainly sent a shiver down our felineās friend spine⦠but he managed to take a big breath and-! HOLY SHIT THIS GUYāS HUGE!
Nykui quickly stumbled backwards and crawled a little far away from the boogeyman himself⦠or at least thatās what Nykui assumed but he was almost certain that this was⦠him⦠the creepy and scary grin on his face⦠the goatee⦠the messy flowy ghostly hair⦠yup, this is the guyā¦
There was a very intense mood on the kitchen⦠for god that felt like an eternity⦠but then⦠the ādoctorā himself decided to break the ice:
Phantasmo: why my, my~ looks like little Nykui finally met the townās most infamous villain~!
Nykui: w-wait⦠h-how do you know my-!
Phantasmo then shushed gently our feline friend using his floating hand to cover the little oneās lips⦠this made all the hair strands of Nykuiās head rise up in fearā¦
Phantasmo: you hear that~? Listen very, very closely~
Phantasmo then retreated his floating hand from the young nekoās mouth⦠Nykui let out a deep gasp he didnāt know he was holding⦠this made the mad scientist chuckled darkly and deeplyā¦
Nykuiās ears perked up and⦠he could hear screaming from below his feet⦠did⦠did this guy kidnapped those bulliesā¦? If so⦠how many of them and⦠howā¦?
Nykui: . . .Y-you⦠you donāt scare meā¦! You can intimidate me all you want! I donāt know what youāre scheming or planning right now but⦠but⦠please⦠donāt⦠h-hurt meā¦?
Nykui could feel his face getting wet from the tears that were rolling down his cheeks⦠Phantasmo let out a soft ā tsk tskā sound before floating closer to the small child and wiping his tears with his thumb:
Phantasmo: my kitty friend⦠donāt worry~ Iāve got⦠far more interesting plans for you~ but none of them involve hurting you in any way whatsoever~
However⦠i wonāt hesitate to eliminate you if you upset me⦠are we clear, my kitty friend~? Not even your cuteness will be enough to save you from this big cat here~
The neko child didnāt know if he should feel relieved or afraid of the ghost (okay, maybe a little bit more of the latter, after all, why should he trust this guy out of all people???). But⦠he couldnāt help but interrogate him:
Nykui: why you have got āinterestingā plans for me specifically? What are those said āplansā? Why did you-
Phantasmo silenced Nykui with a finger over the young nekoās lips. With a sigh and holding his face with his other detached hand, Phantasmo spoke:
Phantasmo: so eager to find out the answers⦠arenāt you? Iāll answer you your first question and you are gonna have to be happy with that, because working for me requires not knowing a lot of things⦠at least at the right time⦠youāll know eventually~ letās say⦠i know a little bit about everything of everyone~ i have⦠little eyes around town~
Nykui then gently pushed his finger and hand away from his mouth and said:
Nykui: this doesnāt explain nothing! Why are you acting so damn mysterious and omino- mmhhfpf!
Phantasmo then got a little tired of the nekoās curiosity and stuffed his mouth with the cinnamon sugar beignets he left on the tableā¦
Phantasmo: donāt you know little kitty? Curiosity killed the cat, so⦠i advice you to be careful with yours~ā¦
.

Now hereās some bonus stuff :D
Nykui helps Phantasmo steal anything he asks him to steal: be it jewelry, money and credit cards from people⦠(oh, and hair strands from anyone he can cut the hair off⦠Nykui doesnāt know why but⦠heās too afraid to confront Phantasmo about thisā¦)
He sometimes also serves as a distraction for when Phantasmo is either kidnapping someone or fighting against Charlie⦠(in āserving as a distraction for when Phantasmo fights Charlieā, he distracts Carter from helping his sister out⦠Carter is too innocent to notice that Nykui is now working for Phantasmo⦠even though his sister already told him that a billion times already, lol)
Their relationship is⦠how may i compare it? Like a frog and a spiderās: if you google it, youāll know that spiders usually see their⦠āfriendā frogs as pets⦠yeah⦠take that as you will⦠(*whispers* it aināt a healthy relationship)
Fun fact about Nykui: heās very, very touch-starved for a cat⦠and Phantasmo knows it too well⦠he takes advantage of that to manipulate the young kitty boyā¦
Phantasmoās tactics of manipulation are: love-bombing, scratches behind Nykuiās ears (Nykuiās weakness) and food⦠yep, just making a batch of cinnamon sugar beignets is enough to have this kitty do anything Phantasmo wants him toā¦
Since he is a little troublemaker to most townsfolk, he doesnāt get along with Charlie⦠(she doesnāt do anything to jeopardize him⦠she only picks him up and takes him out of the store he was stealing from⦠or she grabs him by the back of his coat when heās pickpocketing people⦠of course he scratches her good and run away as quickly as he can⦠and she only sighs in a disapproving mannerā¦)
Nykui is very stubborn and easily tricked when you use the right words with him⦠heās not naive, but if you offer what he craves most, youāll mostly likely will have his attentionā¦
Thanks to his cuteness and trickery, he can fool a lot of tourists that come to Telltown.
His best friend is Lena: sheās nice with himā¦
He also likes Oliver and Emilly: Oliver always offers him their house for him to sleep on cold winters and makes the best cinnamon sugar beignets when it rains :). And Emilly⦠even though she acts sometimes a little Tsundere-ish, she has a soft spot for the neko child⦠like secretly giving him some of the pastries of the cafe she works on.
I really like to think that Nykui managed to convince Carter, Charlieās brother, to build the treehouse for him muehehe~ >:3
Iām going to post a ālittleā (may or may not be actually a long-ass fanfic but oh well) fanfic about his relationship with Phantasmo⦠iāll leave you all in suspense~ Muahahaha! >:D
