  • Treats???

    This island had a small and dense forest, where insects that hung from strands floated amongst the trees, their web-like material sparkling as if there was a canopy of fairy lights above them. Small flowers glowed pink and purple underfoot. Odara looked around, as if expecting to find something here. After a few moments of nothing, she reached onto her pocket and brought out a pouch of smoked meat. She motioned for Peln to come to her, and as he did, a burst of golden light jumped out from seemingly nowhere. Odara put her hand to his sword arm, to indicate there was no danger, and eventually the flash settled into a small wyvern with golden fur, pushing its snout into her hand for the treats. As it ate out of her hand, she handed the rest of the pouch to Peln. As if it knew, it immediately lost interest with the captain, and instead began to poke around Peln’s hands. The fur wasn’t as soft as it looked, instead having a bristle-like quality about them. Its eyes were dark against its glowing fur, uninterested in the humans and solely trying to find the source of food that it smelled.

    I don’t have a name for the furry golden winged ferret thing yet, or a final design, I simply drew what was simple and sort of fit what I had in mind!

  • Demon

    Because for some reason I couldn’t think of a better title. I do really like how his skull shoulders turn out! Should I make the glowing eyes permanent? They will glow to indicate a specific skill maybe.

    Freik is the best!

  • How’s your naked man friend?

    Good Omens is great! I really love that Crowley drinks 6 shots of espresso in a giant mug, though I would prefer it much more if he drank espressos one after another, in small espresso cups!

    Anyways, these are technically speed drawings; I completed both in around about 3 hours, not happy with how Aziraphale turned out but I do like Crowley’s style!

  • Freema Agyeman

    Aaaah I messed up the eyes and chin! But it was definitely fun drawing her, she’s so pretty! I really only wanted to attempt this digitally, because of how much black there was and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do the highlights properly. It didn’t turn out so bad!

    Now I have to get out of my face shot comfort zone and really get more practice on full body and hands…

  • Ice cream run

    Wow it’s been about 20 years since I’ve last drawn anime fanart. I never really drew my own stuff, I was always copying screenshots, so finally I decided I would try to draw my own poses. It turned out okayish but I really have to get better at hands and anatomy!

    I think this would turn out better with colour. I really only wanted to draw fuzzy white eyelashes after my Ethereal set; since I had blonde characters in that, I was tempted, but I didn’t want to deviate from my usual in that piece. How cute are Koko and Jonah!

    Oh yeah, in my head, this is Jonah trying ice cream for the first time. He has no idea which flavour to start with, so Koko buys him one scoop while she herself gets two, but she tells him if he likes it she’ll buy more for him 😀

  • E T H E R E A L

    Yay it’s finally done!

    I thought my hand was totally going to die since I don’t use a tablet enough to use it well; I keep death gripping the stylus and my hand was twitching uncontrollably.

    I can’t wait to go back to some pencil drawings and destroy my back instead!

    The Ethereal set – Ristrel, Syndrafiel, Yverrine, Fool. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a four character panel or more/less; when I was looking through my records, I had the option of adding Entropy (who I’ve never drawn, even in concept) and the Ethereal Angel (I forgot her name, it’s too long and I never mention it), but I also didn’t have design for her. So just the four main ones it was!

    I drew each one separately so their heights and sizes aren’t quite right, but the whole goal of this was to get a standalone yet flowing background for each of them, that was definitely fun to do!

  • I’ll Tear Through You Like This Baguette

    Part of my out of context baguette series! I wanted to draw a finished picture of one of my characters with a random baguette, and decided it’d be fun to do one with Freik chomping on one in a threatening manner. Then, somehow I also wondered if the demons of my world are kind of like monotremes, since they’re mammal like, but also egg laying. That then lead to the fattypus on the t-shirt, after I realised Freik in a platypus onesie didn’t quite look right haha.

    And that anime finger whorl! I finally drew one!

  • Drones Up in the Sky

    A group picture where I chickened out of the background! Yay! lol. I am definitely still not ready to take on a perspective background, though I did think about how George St looks in Sydney. I also feel like now I’ve definitely drawn enough of some of my characters that I no longer need their face in the shot, so this not-face angle of Irutha was fun to draw! I still have no idea what Broen’s costume is or what colour his hair should be!

  • Somm Night In

    Whoops I forgot to actually upload this as soon as I’d finished it. I saw a photo of a master sommelier sniffing wine with his pinky in the air and it was so hilarious that I had to draw my own version of it, so Ris, Soulfear, and Freik took on their sommelier personas once again (this is the first time Freik gets to play somm!). Freik kind of got squished at the end though, and when I tried to redraw it to give him more space, I ran out of focus and the whole thing turned out terrible, so I stuck with this version.

    Why did I give Freik a shot of whisky instead of partaking in the enjoyment of some barolo? I have no idea lol

  • Yverrine in colour + 5 years

    Just a colour comparison in this post! The original Yverrine drawing pre-dates 2018 but I’ve been happy with the pencil versions through the years, so this is just reflecting on how she looks in colour, since these are the only two versions I have. I would still like her to have a few more leaves than what I drew in this time, but she lost the extra tendrils and leaves over the iterations of her design. I think in this case, simpler is better! She looks crosseyed in the 2023 colour, because I’m still bad with faces.

    I managed to get more shine and saturation in compared to Ris’ panel, but the wood armour is lacking depth and definition.

    Maybe I’ll get to work on her again in a few years!
