I'm Applesnake, creator of Catalyst. I serve as writer and illustrator.

Catalyst is a fantasy story set in the world of Eida, where angels die and ink corrodes the bones of a dream yet to end. Stay a while.

I post when I post.

I don’t care how many images or how impressive the images can be created though mushing together masses of others images… I still want to create my own. I don’t care if my output isn’t as fast or even as good technically. I love creating and I love improving! It’s so rewarding!

Finally back from the ol' sickness bout. This is Pearlseeker Suunari, briefly mentioned in the lore of my last post. I do plan to have lore accompany her, but that will be in the soon-future once my beta readers are done.

Upgraded my layout and I'm certainly paying for it. This guy isn't a traditional kelpie, but I like him. No sketch, as Kalti hasn't encountered this guy. I'll elaborate on the mentioned rebellion a little next time.

No fancy art until the new year or so, but here, have an Aerith scribble with elf ears because I'm physically incapable of drawing a regular human person.

This is Archdragon Nhuie (Noo-e), who governs over Cryos (Ice). He lives atop the highest mountain in his icy homeland and those who go up without a protective talisman will fall into a deep slumber, never to wake.

Here are my harpies, based on sage grouses and velociraptors. I included a page with some (hopefully) more dyslexia-friendly font. I'll try to add them going forward, though I may forget sometimes.

Sick this week, regular posting is delayed. Instead, here is my 'Ancient Language', based on cuneiforms! I'm not much of a conlanger, so Catalyst's languages are all ciphers. This one was used by the lost Shiath civilisation.

My first proper worldbuilding post. A Compilation of Beasts and Botanicals will be my way of introducing various 'regular' flora/fauna and some not so regular.

The minor god of a vernal pond. I have the urge to follow this fella while they fish and cook.

Working name is "Croak," but I'm not sold. Anyone else have ideas?

The running yaga huts of the Roadrunner Coven are considered the highest form of folk magic. Often made of rammed earth, there are many variants, but they will usually contain at least one rounded surface for aerodynamics and a bird or dragon motif.

Last bit of my main buffer alongside a small preview of my worldbuilding art for next week. The elf girl was lighting practice based on a real life reference.

More character buffer deliverance. These two have to get posted together in my mind or else it just won't feel right.

Octavius "Orcus" Reed and Carolyn "Thistle" Wu. Pre-war individuals who survived through differing moralities.
