I play video games, draw, and love my wife
Pinned
And there you have it. I started working on these guys when I was a teenager and here they are, finally all together. What should I call them? Lords? Beasts? Dragons, even? I still haven't decided.
Whenever I start making this thing for real I'll stop giving always all the secrets but for now I just like talking

Next I gotta do the Prince but I barely know what the Prince looks like even with his clothes on, so that's gonna be a doozy.

I spent two days drawing this and then pulled up the other two I'd already done and cracked myself the fuck up. They're so messy and he's so smooth and voluminous. His hair's also too short but I didn't want to go much further down.

My oversized arachnid... I'm still on the fence about exactly what his human body feels like. Is he squishy or is that more carapace made to look human? Both options are equally likely. If the Prince swung that glass sword at him it would shatter on impact either way.
[BIG SH1N1 SPOILERS] I'm never not thinking about this when I'm drawing him. All of my drawings are canon-compliant.

Since I've been drawing my babies again I want to remind everyone what the rest of the Underking looks like
I found out yesterday that my sister had never seen video of scorpions in motion, so I made her watch several and then showed her the Underking's full body design again. She was like "oh."

I’m collecting responses to his design because they make me smile

I just remembered that I have the original sketch of him saved too, if anyone wants a peek into the Sh1n1 Process for something like this.

It occurred to me that I have two completely different explosion-themed characters who are both Water-themed instead of, like, Fire-themed. That's probably the Megaman Fan coming out in me. Love you always and forever Pirateman

Anyone who feels like a trip down Sh1n1 Character Lore, I went on and on about some this morning
The Flame Popess is the one who united the Four. Two hundred years before the story began she went on a worldly pilgrimage, stopping in each major settlement in turn and seeking out the most powerful entity in the area. Though she looks mostly human, she, too, is a beast, and was drawn to them.

Tonight I draw the Water Baron shirtless and then describe the hilarious mental loops I had to jump through to get there because he is a special boy

The cruelest thing I ever did to the Underking was put him in the Enigma Infanta story instead of in Lolopolo where everyone would've wanted to fuck him. 😔 Sorry bro. You'll find a man someday.
December 9, 2025 at 2:53 PM
The Prince fucks off for reasons unknown, the Underking is like, oh god, I no longer have an Ace in the Hole. The Water Baron is like, hell yeah, I don't have anyone who can tell me what to do anymore. And the Flame Popess was just already crazy and was only being held back by the three of them

Take him. I have to stop.

The Prince of the Aether! Despite being designated a prince, he is fully integrated into the society over which he presides, unlike the other three elemental beasts. This is because he himself is half human. Accordingly, he also has a human name: Aquila!

Went to search "vampire teeth" to get some ideas on how people draw that sort of anatomy and it autofilled to "vampire shrimp." Not what I was looking for, but, also... sort of

Aquila is an artist and cultivates a culture of expression. The emblem on his belt is fused glass, and the blade in his sword is glass, too. The Faberge Egg he's holding there was designed by his fiancée Andromeda.

Shirtless Underking getting 10 likes makes me smile, if he'd had the Internet crowd during that 300 years of solitude maybe he wouldn't have been so lonely. What is that post that's like "I just imagined a creature that would scare you soooo bad"/"And what's the genitals situation on said creature"

Now I just gotta redraw Alexis again (her design is not changing, although at some point she does get an outfit upgrade, but that's not replacing her original design). And then there is one more person that I don't believe I've mentioned at all thus far... Mysterious.

Their boss titles include some clues on what their respective boss forms will be like, or where their stories go to make boss creatures with such titles. What makes her a "molten legion?" What the fuck is going on with the Water Baron? You'll find out!

I think "Elemental Lords" is the best descriptor, especially since three out of four have some sort of title of nobility attached to them. The Flame Popess is different, and I think she would call them all "beasts" (herself included) because she's insecure about her own lacking monstrousness
