la creatura

some exploration sketches to warm up the hand. she doesn't really have bones, and her face is kind of pliable, so when she smiles she SMILES

return to daily bites

and eventually, one day, turn one lucky one into an icon and then absolutely never use it because i've gotten used to my stupid angel beast thing i use now

no title just draw

one miserable summer, two different moves, a new job, and idk how many life turns later

time to get back to draws

thank y'all for your patience, the hell year has finally ended and i begin anew

Moving again!

Putting a pause on the tipjar because I would feel bad leaving it open looking at how my month has gone - I'm moving into a proper stable place after the worst summer tm! It's a really nice place that'll give me comfortable room and lighting, and I can actually sorta settle in finally. And....actually get a desk that can fit my tablet for once.<...

Character Design - Eleos (WIP)

oooooo ffxiv oc art ooooooooo blorbo ooooooooo (I have a lot of sketches to finally go through and start putting solid decisions to)

Expressions - Freydis (Commission)

She is proud and wonderful and very, VERY sharp.

(WIP) Expressions - Freydis (Commission)

It's been a while since a proper expression sheet...

Aurum (Commission)

It is FinishedTM. Breaking characters up into pieces like crystals is just an old favorite pastime of mine.

WIP - Commission (Aurum)

Approaching the final details and color balancing stage...where a lot of magical things happen that I don't understand myself

WIP - Aurum (Commission)

it is magical how working with this character is just like art therapy

a few old redline guides

I used to be really active in helping redline stuff and providing various tutorials on stuff (usually expression related while keeping species traits distinguishable). I'm going to keep digging around because I would love to keep them available, a lot of this stuff is something that's never actually been posted before, not even when I was on twi...

Character Design - Freydis (Commission)

The full thing! A friend in my D&D group is playing a wonderful frost dragon, and I had the honor of getting to design her! I had a lot of fun working out the balance of blues/greys with white, knowing this character was supposed to be very snowy/very bright.

Thoril - Fight Stick Commission

Just gonna throw this into a post since I was asked, and remarkably this was the easiest way to show it + it gave me a chance to show the template and how I was working around it. And the finished piece!! I've seen that stick in person and its absolutely incredible. 

This one was done at FocusAttack, they had the templates available a...

August - Coming all at once

Heyo! It's been notably quiet here this month and I realize I never actually made the text post as to why. I posted one piece recently for the early character design stages of a character commission. It has a lot of early work I don't want to show in individual pieces, 

So! Sometime next week I hope to have a huge post of the whole ea...

Character Design (WIP) - Freydis

Very early concepting stage for a commission of a frosty dragon with a whooole lot of pride. I don't usually like posting the early thumbnailing stages but its something I want to get in the habit of more personally.

(18+) drip

this is me making a note to check my red/orange color balance on my tablet

just a whole bunch of Reylai

I had...SO. SO MANY of these, and only some are properly saved. And these aren't even all of those! But I want to archive some of these somewhere.

Commission - Wild Gabu

Every now and then I do something that I look back on like 'if I try to do that again, I will fail' even if I fundamentally grasp what I did. And that would be the blues of this fur.

Commission - Lime Green Flavor

Another commission that never got uploaded after twitter so its lost to the aether, went and pulled some of the wip files too! When I get drips and drops, that does end up being most of my work and I love it

Commission - Warm Blooded Gold

Howlitzer never missed with character aesthetic and I ALWAYS love working with them. This is another older commission I decided to go grab WIPs from and post! 

Commission - Monster Hunters

Done in 2021 (I vividly remember finishing this up within the hours before FFXIV Endwalker would be live, I was up all night waiting for that moment and had all the energy in the world to do this).

I always love working with Rei. This image I'm fairly certain got uploaded but it was during a time I wasn't really using FA, so it was lost to...

Haulle - Beast (Anthro) Ref Sheet

Once again I have a new face OC — I struggle to really call her a sona, for reasons I've had with all my characters that maybe one day I'll explore. I love her very much, and she is my new therapy animal to walk with me through this very new, very vulnerable path in life. 

And she exists to be indulgent in every way. To learn anatom...

weird lava lamp dog

doing some more exploration sketches, refining the shapes now that I have her colors down

Haulle - Early OC Design (18+)

perhaps the most indulgent character I've ever made, and she's got a long way to go
