Asra: Is 100% a Music Theory but in the Fun Way. He talks about jazz theory even though he’s never been in a jazz program. Definitely if he were to do performance, he would play guitar and be so insanely good at it. I feel like he specializes in early music to the point where he is AI-ing the Music Theory and History of the Mediterranean his third year.
Nadia: She is your Piano Performance major and she is Better Than You. Probably is an AI for the undergrad piano classes, and shows off how good she is at piano as her first year group students walk in. Super chill and offers to be your accompanist if you need it. Charges less because she knows a lot of people want her. Rents out practice room time to her first years.
Muriel: I wanna say Aural Skills is his jam. He just hates the In-Class Performances and HATES hearings with a burning passion. Has perfect pitch. Probably a flute player (I just feel like it fits ok). He is somehow realy good at atonal pitch patterns and would 100% trade answers for the melodic dictation with Asra.
Portia: I feel like Portia is a Music Ed major and this is based on the idea that she would teach sea shanties to her students during field experience. Is dating Nadia and they are a literal power couple. She’s gotta be a vocalist or percussionist. Those people are literally the most sleep-deprived.
Julian: Audio-engineering. Does all the recital recordings but doesn’t know what a tonic chord is. Is cheating off of Asra in Music Theory and pretends he can sing in his aural skills classes UNTIL the first ICP and everyone knows he can’t . Loves Taka Dimi for some reason.
Lucio: Lucio is the one guy that tried out for the music school like 3 times and got cut twice but his last audition was just valiant enough that he made it in. Was going to do jazz but now does Music Education because he thinks the requirements are less. Definitely a trumpet major.
How is it that i always start off with a doodle and then just over complicate my life? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Anyway recently i came across @camishroom and their wonderful apprentice who i just fell in love with!
Also Onoras jokes and generally humor was taught to her by the Devoraks…basically a lot of puns and dirty jokes
While drawing this there was some drama going on in the community. Let me just use this piece to address it. A lot of artists try to create their MCs to be as “original” as possible, when coming across another MC that is similar to theirs, for some reason they feel the need to call that artist out or accuse them of theft? Well if you ask my that’s a load of crap…there will always be people with similar ideas and similar designs.
Now if your MC was traced, that’s a whole other story. We live in very troubling times and i understand people are anxious, but i think it’ll do you no harm to simply approach these things in a kind and calming manner. With this post i hope you can see that similarities are not to be frowned upon but are to be celebrated, played around with or even just memed. Let’s just be kind and patient with each other and let all this drama die out.
Asra’s most powerful magical power is perhaps his ability to fall asleep anywhere, so here are some very early sketches from the original creators of Asra falling asleep!
These aren’t all body sprites/forms for each character or to scale, but these are reference pages I use when planning costume designs in the Arcana style :D
