Sketchbook Spread like the old times

It's been a while ever since I had such a "loose and messy" sketchbook spread.... But here it was :) it was so much fun... Almost every drawing is from a different day, but still - I love to use every bit of space left. Its so satisfying... Makes me think of my 2020 sketchbook... Full of memories and old feelings. First and last experiences.

MEET ROSIN!

Meet Rosin!!! She's my new brand oc (literally done yesterday) and im already SO obsessed with her... Literally the colors, her hair (fucking emo) HER COLOURS and the minimalistic approach to her!!! Ive wanted to make a black oc that would stay in my mind for longer for a hot while and here we fucking go.... ROSIN... MY BELOVED ROSIN.....

I had a bit of an issue with her personality, but I have decided now on it... :P She's not as serious as she looks, but she's also not as cheerful LMAO. It's kinda hard for me to describe her. I'll paste here some lore bits that I have wrote so far:

Rosin is one of the main deities in asajirish religion - she controles water of any sort and kind. Her outfit is mixed with the water elements that are controled by her - it makes her skin look naturally shiny "wet". Whenever she sits somewhere, she leaves the furniture wet cuz of her water shawl/cape. She walks barefoot. Rosin sleeps in water and can see in it, though she can drown. She loves playing with fishes and dolphins - they are her favourite animals! Rosin is a really kind person, but also very smart and thought-full. Back in the day, she used to be really self-consious of her getting everything around her wet! causing other deities not wanting to invite her to their places. but now they just tease her about it :]

Rosin doesn’t trust others. She’s self-interested — not because she’s rude, but because life taught her to be. Once, when she was younger, Aposus asked her to flood a region that Ipsilios had just finished shaping on the surface of the world. Rosin, because Aposus was a god — and because she expected something in return (which, to her, was obvious, especially since others had said Aposus was an honorable man) — agreed, despite her reluctance. But Aposus deceived her and twisted the story. Not only did he give her nothing in return, but when the furious Ipsilios confronted him directly, he brought his wife to Rosin, and together they both slandered her for the destruction. Rosin didn’t know what to do — she stood there terrified, her eyes locked onto Aposus with raw, quiet pain and disgust. She had no defense — it was her word against his, and she had no proof that Aposus had told her to do it. She had thought he just wanted to tease Ipsilios — but in truth, he wanted to manipulate Ipsilios into believing he still supported her.

Since then, Rosin began attending more gatherings, more divine balls where Aposus would be.

She started collecting information about him. She watched him. She followed him quietly. She stole his thoughts from his notes.

She was nearly obsessed — not out of adoration, but to find his weakest point. She was a stalker – only leaving damp trays of her presence.

Her anger wasn’t loud or explosive. Rosin, in her actions, remained calm and graceful — and it was far more terrifying than Irmes’s rage. She could ruin someone with cold precision, never even smiling when the outcome unfolded exactly as she planned.

Her willingness to help others would never be used again.

Not in any way.

I really would LOOOVE to develop her more!! I just feel like she has a strong potential to be in my head rent free..... :P I wanna connect her more to the main lore
