Fanart, OCs, comms, and a foundation for a book series I'm workin on (2 books, 300k words so far) that I hope to turn into a free webcomic: #SongOfTheDevilstorm

Mashup fanart of my World of Warcraft Dracthyr character along with many elements of Guild Wars 2. My Dracthyr is in dragon form, wielding the GW2's Timekeeper greatsword in one hand, WoW's Obsidian Edged Blade in the other. Legendary blacksmith's belt around his waist with a Horde flag attached. GW2 golden dragon queen cosmetic attached to the wings. GW2 jeweled headpiece and fire horn cosmetic on the head. Character is in the Auric Basic in GW2, standing on a fallen Anduin face-down in the grass, with other fallen Alliance soldiers and broken siege equipment in the background. Dracthyr is flanked by two dragons: Aurene from GW2, and my WoW Netherdrake from Burning Crusade expansion. The Horde's airship Orgrim's Hammer floats above the battlefield.

Side comic relating to the game Palworld. This represents my first time finding an Alpha pal. Frame 1, character meets the glowing Cattiva Alpha and says how cute it is. Frame 2, 'boops' the Cattiva with a pal sphere in an attempt to capture it saying "I must have you". Frame 3, the attempt fails and the Cattiva is shocked, then angry, saying "You are already dead" - a throwback to a meme that went around some time ago. Frame 4, character is shocked and frightened, holding up an arm in defense and commenting about a strange power charging up. Frame 5, character is disintegrated by Solar Blast in a reference to the movie Terminator 1.

Character reference for Arsolvet the blood god in her true physical form, along with three variations of her favorite human form. Her true form stands around nine feet tall. Horned head, four glowing eyes, lip-less mouth of sharp teeth. Her skin is semi-transparent red that appears to move and flow like a pool of thick blood. On her neck, back and shoulders down to her ribs, as well as forearm and foreleg are dark red growths with spikes. Her human form is a red-headed woman standing around five foot eight, green eyes, sun-bronzed skin coloration. The three forms are nude reference, leather travel armor, and formal white dress.

Arnkit, full name Arnkit'atla-husfrey'irkir, is the matron dragon of the Forest Flight of the Crulean Crest Tropics, lifemate to Verthrik, mother to four hatchlings: Smara-kogur, Vred'tiss, Herinn, and Kyrvat. She is a large green dragon standing several human lenghts tall, and has a large green crystal floating above her claws. Thicker brown plates run from her forehead down her tail that also supports a large retractable fin like sail that stands a few feed above each plate. She is an envoy of the Dragon Nation to the city of Alabandrin.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Ah fun! My first book will have one very important weapon; a Godstouched hammer that was gifted to a mortal to defeat Arsolvet when she was on her rampage. I don't have a name for it yet, but even after it was shattered it is still used to AOE drain souls and blood from groups.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders, do you have any magical or otherwise special/important weapons or armor in your world? What do they do? Is there lore or a story behind how they came to be? Has is always been special or was it made that way through some critical event?

Ohhh! Welp, for Marfon (Avatar of Arsolvet the blood god) several chapters in, his living armor seed starts to slowly erupt and cover his body. Workin on ref atm too.

Other than that, all species have standard leather/metallic armors. Celestials have solidified plates of energy/soul power. Variety!

I can't stress just how critical it is that the GOP/Heritage Foundation/Trump/Steven Miller/etc are removed from power immediately, prosecuted, and jailed for high crimes. They are threatening chaotic instability-quite possibly on orders from Putin.

What the actual fuck America? Fight!!!!!

Green dragon coiled around a red crystal. Tufts of hair on its tail, back of its crest, and end of two thick tendrils coming out of its crest above the lower horns. It is armed with a cobalt halberd.

October ink work from many years ago, redone digitally. Tattoo style dragon arching its neck down towards the bottom of the page. Held in its hand and wrapped around its tail is my ink pen.

American government is proudly declaring they are Nazis. "One of ours, all of yours". This is a Nazi slogan.

Civil war is coming. These filthy fucks are acting in illegal ways, in every area they operate. The stories of CITIZENS being illegally held are horrifying.

War is coming against America.

Digital painting of a Pit lord, an Inferno unit from Heroes 5.
It's a reddish-brown demon with a triangular head that has two red horns pointed upwards and one spike on the nose. Flames are crowning the demon's head between the horns and illuminate the maw and eyes from the inside.
He has some heavy armor on his arms, and a skull can be seen on the visible pauldron that is closer to the viewer. A pair of two membrane-less wings are spread behind the creature. He is leaning onto his sword.

Concept art piece. A large orb of blood hovers above the dias in the center of a ruined circular room. Broken stone tablets and iron chains litter the ground around the dias. The room is lit by a couple of wall mounted torches crafted in the shape of some horned horror. The blood orb radiates a dim red light, and the spiked humanoid form of the blood god is barely visible inside.

This is my demon OC with a concept twist in honor of Mer-May, my first entry into this particular event. My demon OC messes with a water temple during May, their month of power, gets caught and is punished by being transformed into a Merfolk of the Orca flavor. This red demon has half of their body magically modified into the black and white body of a male orca (tall thin fin) with a few elements that still marks him as a demon. The scene is in a clear blue ocean near the surface, sunlight streaming down into the darker water.

The "danger level" keeps increasing. Now the terrorists are breaking and entering to kidnap people without legal cause.

If they pretend to have a warrant, they don't-but just so you can legally point it out, take a look at this thread.

We are all in danger. They are begging us to be violent.

As an artist drawing a wide range of characters and scenarios is very import- oh shit- oh fuck sorry I dropped- oh my god- oh wait- omg don't look waIT--!!

(It's just the same sapphic women over and over and over and over-)

#alttext #wlwart #ocart #sonaArt

A woman with scales, horns, and a long tail with a big fin at the end of it. Her horns and scales are alternating in off-white and black, with blue fins. She's got long wavy ginger hair and a red dress with a teal sash. She's holding a bunch of scrolls and papers, some of which are falling from her arms onto the ground. The images falling from her arms are drawings of the same 4 characters, over and over. Several of the images are of women kissing or implied... other actions.
The woman looks back over her shoulder at the fallen drawings, her cheeks red and with a nervous sweat drop. She says "-AH!" as she realizes the obscene amounts of lesbian art falling all over the place.

For my non-art related post, which I try to keep minimal, just gotta say... watched a video of an ICE terrorist shoot a woman in the face while she tried to leave. She didn't run him over (like the felon Pres lied), and he wasn't in front of her. Bullet hole in windshield is an exit point. FFS
