Thank you for all the love for my little wildlife sketches 🥹
Here's the finished page. Doodling animals will forever be my favourite way to decompress.

I love the bear.

#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt
A photo of my current sketchbook page filled with black and white wildlife pencil sketches: a sitting bear from the side, a sitting fox facing us, a round, tiny bunny and the head of a hare, ears flat against his back, expression shocked, as if he had seen the face of God. It is now completed with the sketch of a stag looking at us, hard to draw legs fading out. His antlers are huge, spindly, thorny looking, very fantastical and nothing you could find like this in nature. The rest of the animals look quite realistic.

She has a full moon earring too. The shorter one has car ears and purple hair with blue tips, and a sailor/captain-inspired outfit, with multiple necklaces and glasses. She's laughing a bit bashfully.

If you don't know, or you know people who claim to not know, any Queer people in meatspace

it's because they don't feel safe.

We are not that rare.

And while trans people are also Queer, it esp holds true for that group today as well. Not that rare.

the ai generated trash was just a placeholder that was meant to be replaced is just an excuse for when studios get caught using genai and are facing backlash against it
and they know that most people don't want this trash that's why they're refusing to be open about it

How about some character art I drew for Tipping World, and a random tree? Color is very much still a Work In Progress and I'm low on the learning curve, but I'm fucking learning and growing and leveling up by virtue of trying, which is a win all on its own, isn't it?
A young woman wearing loose trousers with a long-sleeved shirt tucked in walks right to left across the grayscale image. Her dark hair is waist-length and wavy, her skin neither dark nor pale. There's filth all over her garments, and she has a sword stuck through the sash of her trousers. A block of text reads: "The moment she quit the private residence, she was passing people. People who stopped to stare, amazed. They were used to seeing her immaculate in a fabulous dress, but she wasn’t the Sea Queen, she was an Arbiter. She was just as glad to let them get a look at what that meant, hair tied back out of her face, coated in masonry dust and other people’s blood. She didn’t mind putting on a nice dress and playing civilized, but at the end of the day, it was a lie. One she would tell but wasn’t willing to live." A man of ~30 with pale skin, hazel eyes, and curly dark hair labeled Mairid Miran. Like a stat sheets, this is listed: Born in: Sherun Secter: Dsiabor Class: Trickster Subclass: The Scientist Athleticism: can trip on a flat floor Wit: flirtatious Honor: ha! Iconoclasm: grew into it late Fatal Weakness(es): fear of being seen Bonus roll(s): good at lying to people; 300 yo genius • A young man in his late teens with light brown skin, black eyes, and black hair labeled Horus Menek. Like a stat sheets, this is listed: Born in: Feinzad Secter: none Class: Commander of the Mage Corps Subclass: The Disciple Athleticism: unreal Wit: laughs… once Honor: would do anything for a cause he believes in Iconoclasm: wrestles with internalized bullshit Fatal Weakness(es): temper tempre Bonus roll(s): tight with his parents; has a mean horse that hates everyone else In color, a lichen-coated tree with rough bark. It's bark has split vertically, and in the crevice, a profusion of mushrooms with pale, butter-colored caps.

I wrote this recently, which I'm pretty proud of.

#TheOtherChosenOne
She really was a handsome woman, his wife, with her curly blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and the sort of innocent smile and rosy red cheeks that could tempt even the devil himself. Gilda was as good looking now as the day he'd married her. Better, even. Yes she'd filled out over the years, as had he, but it was in all the right places. All the lumps and bumps that had attracted him to her in the first place were still there, only more so. No one could complain about that. And so what if she had a few lines around the eyes to go with them? They gave her face character, and a woman with character was the most attractive type of woman of all. Even after all these years Grum still found his wife incredibly attractive, so how he had ended up in such a sexless marriage he did not know.

Aight, here's a bunch of art what I done made recently.

All related to the Maldaccian Empire (space birds) from The Re-Emergence.

We have two of the five maldaccian species in traditional dress, a 3D render of the Qesh'kal, the hero ship from the book, and a 3D render of Unit-17.
Drawing of a brightly coloured bird like creature in a threat display, with a toothed beak, wearing a red cape, golden jerkin, and brown pants, with jewellery on the ankles, wrists, and faceplate. The caption reads: Desert Eluvis. Brightly coloured bird-like creature with an axe-head shaped beak, brown and green feathers, and bird of paradise style fluffy white/cream tail with pennant feathers. It is wearing a red cape, golden shirt with high pointed collar, and jewellery. The caption reads: Western Tropical Nequit Rear view of a long grey spaceship with split forward hull, lit cyan engines, and glowing red radiators. A cross-shaped satellite in white, black, and gold, with a red light at the top on the front face, a golden dome, and spread out solar panel arms made of trapezoidal panels.
