I think what Snow was trying to say is that he wanted to compliment Pyro by downplaying his own creativity (even though I think he- and everyone here- are leagues above "not creative"). It could sound weird without context though.

@Crimmy A dual-wielding bojutsu user would be super awesome to look at!

Galla seemed to be patient for whoever she waited for.

Cian and her Tristan got along in their own ways, evidently.

Dawn clearly let excitement control her very veins, which did more to make the mood cheerier than it Sangue could ever make.

April, whose words warm like her own name, complimented something.

Her arm.

Now that she thought about it, she never thought too much on what her arm looked like. All that mattered was whether it functioned, and whether she could still utilize her old Claw or not. Swinging the chains had become a staple of her methodically divided tools to combat hostile targets, both in sparring and battles. The fact that she had a completely new artificial limb that functioned overshadowed the small details put into the design of the arm itself.

Turning to her prosthetic, she took in the details of the structure. A lot of effort was evidently put into making it sleek so that it would not get in her own way.

Another good thing to bring up in the case that she met Gren or Shiro later. She had so little to talk about even though they did so much, so anything that could be stuffed into the thanks she could give them was a nice addition to her lack of words.

It did feel nice to not ward people away from her old prosthetic's intimidating look. She never thought of it to look dangerous, but most reactions to it made herself feel like someone who could easily scare others.

Looking up at April, her idle expression remained. Her small nod- which was more of a short bow- indicated not disinterest, but a thankful gesture.

"Thank y...ou..."

The silence faded away as a total of three people made their way to both Sangue and Galla.

She remembered Cian from the recent mission they fulfilled together. A sniper who took things down from afar- something Sangue could not do at all. Sangue had admired her clean shots, but then again, she always commended anyone who could use a firearm to any extent. After all, she had little to no knowledge on properly utilizing a firearm with efficiency.

As Cian approached, the red snake bowed politely.

Sangue blinked as Cian asked her if the dark-haired girl was her sister. She silently shook her head.

Cian seemed to be with someone. Without much of an idea as to who the man with Cian was, she bowed to him as well, only to find a pair of girls approaching them.

They were a happy bunch.

April on one side, and Dawn on the other.

For some reason, it was hard not to look away from how excitedly they introduced themselves.

Bowing yet again, this time at the pair of girls, Sangue blinked as she glanced between the dark-haired stranger and the cheery duo.

The stranger introduced herself as Galla Mindaro.

It was a nice name.

The Naga’s eyes remained locked onto Galla for a moment before she glanced at Cian, the man near her, and the energetic girls who Sangue presumed to be sisters.

The snake nodded her head when April asked if she lived in Vale. Technically, she did not have a home, but she still had a bit of room to sleep in at the Noxus Night. It may be a bar, but… it still had a guest room she tended to occupy when she wasn’t attending Beacon.

She had no idea as to what the two girls meant by going high, though, and how drugs were related to “going high.” What did they mean?

Did drugs make people fly?

Though curious, even Sangue thought that was an odd question to ask. She would save the question for one of her teammates.

Seeing that Galla had introduced her name, she spoke to April and Dawn,

“I am… Sangue…

“…

“…It’s… nice t…o… meet you…” She barely managed to finish without making a mistake.

The red-haired woman continued to glance between the people near her, her gaze remaining passive.

@Lazo Actually they're a bit closer to the center of the campus rather than at the docks... I think.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Prince of Seraphs Sure! I'm now attending college again though, so that means I'm much slower at doing things during the spring. Feel free to hit me up with a PM or something!

@Lazo Ha ha, I did make her vest a bit darker this time. And I think I just kinda like Sand as a character to the point where I occasionally make things for her without even thinking about it. _{don't stab me plz}

I'll try posting for Sangue soon!

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Finished the Sand drawing! @Lazo

Differences from my usual art style and this one is:

1. I made the body proportions somewhat more believable.

2. The lineart is a lot thinner than usual. (I used Vector lining before duplicating it and creating a rasterized version to color over the lineart)

3. The coloring relies on airbrushes like usual but there's additional water coloring to create a "texture" for her clothes.

4. The image is really big, which gave me a lot of room for details on her face! (And maybe only her face... rip)

I hope you like it! I really like Sand but the lack of pictures makes me want to make some for her- even if I still lack a lot of drawing experience.

@Lazo

more progress!

This one isn't at full size but I think it still shows how thin the line art is this time. o-o; Still working on tweaking things like the shirt!

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@HereComesTheSnow I'll try xD
