Hi! 🤍
I'm Kathaja and I love writing sci-fi & romance—yes, that combination—while sharing my alien world through my art. My work is traditional and digital, quite often a blend of both.

Want to know more about my world and novel?
Read on in the replies! ↓
Collage of 4 artworks tinted in muted, dark colors. Top left: Fineliner art of an alien character, Zhaikes Nazkarath (OC), buffing out his chest and looking over his shoulder, with an angry expression. Top right: Digital art of a cat-like alien character, an Arka (species), with long flowy hair and white eyes without pupils. Bottom left: Pencil art of a snarling creature, the Ozyres, showing a maw full of pointy teeth and a long tongue. Bottom right: Digital art of a reptilian alien character, a Vortecc (species), with an elongated face and bendy tendrils on their head.

Hi! I’m Incognito Pencil! I’m creating a scifi-fantasy webcomic called Proximity about fairies and humans in a post-apocalyptic world.

I’m currently working on a smaller comic first, about a side character, a young girl living outside the city walls.

I created the Tar'nex based on "they have to be worse than angry Zhaikes" :')

This is an earlier concept, from a time when I started sketching with fineliners. Find more about their creation in the quoted post.

#art #Tarnex #alien
Traditional fineliner sketch of an alien character (species: Tar'nex). The alien has four arms, a thick neck and big teeth. On the back of their neck are several appendages that look like tubes. Their body is partially covered with an exoskeleton. The alien is turned towards the right and roars with spittle flying from the teeth. Art by Kathaja Krim

Raffle gift for @unikorppu.bsky.social! Her OC Uni in fox form, and her friend, Yö the crow! I love their color scheme, the orange pops so much against the black/gray!

Thank you for the chance to draw your beloved characters!

#art #digitalart #fox #crow
A digital drawing of a silver fox and a crow against a purple gradient background. The fox is various shades of black and gray with a white portion at the end of her tail, and orange eyes. She also wears a key on a necklace. The crow is black with gray beak and feet. Both have glowing orange and yellow embers in their fur and feathers. The fox is facing slightly away from the viewer and looking inquisitively to the left as she explores. The crow flies above, also facing away form the viewer as they swoop downwards to follow the fox.

A fairy with pink hair and light green skin, wearing various modern clothing in shades of pink. Their wings are more of a glowing cartoon suggestion than actual tangible wings. A nonbinary person in a pink floral dress with short puffed sleeves and a pale green petticoat is sitting on a small couch covered in blankets and pillows. They also wear a ruffled white pinafore apron, strawberry earrings, and white stocking patterned with pink rosebudes. They have short pink hair, multicolored stars on their cheeks and forehead, and a few prominent facial scars on their cheeks. They are working on an embroidery piece in a hoop and have one foot resting on the coffee table, which also has a teapot, sandwich, and partially eaten cherry pie on it. Behind them, a window filled with hanging plants looks out into an evening sky.

Raffle gift for @kathaja.com! I chose one of her alien species, the Tar'nex, because they just look so cool. I love their exoskeleton and all of the chompy teeth :3

Thanks for the chance to draw more World of Krim fan art!

Tar'nex design belongs to Kathaja 💜

#art #digitalart #alien #monster
A digital art drawing of an alien species created by Kathaja Krim, the Tar'nex. They have four arms and two multi-jointed legs, and four sets of wiry antennae attached to the back of their head and neck. They are very dark in color except for off-white colored exoskeleton covering their head and jaw, upper body and arms, their middle body and shoulders, and their legs. Their face is horned and very toothy. The Tar'nex is in an aggressive stance, with all four arms pulled back and ready to strike with clawed hands. Their legs are braced to pounce if needed, and their elongated mouth is open in a snarl.

Thabk you for hosting this Canuckuma! 😎🍷 hope youre doing well ans the art infusion helps you across the line of this week!

Some (optional) tags for @thedarling.bsky.social @aromiekim.bsky.social @sarkastiklover.bsky.social @kathaja.com
Full page pen drawing of a figure with a chain mail like hood draped over their head the flows into robes accented with tusks over the shoulder and holding an orb between their hands, one over, one under with a glowing white energy around a black, pupil like sphere. Flanking at a distance to either side are two others with the furthest back on the left having 3 horizontal, rectangular extensions off the headdress. Behind the one on the right is a large, ancient stone structure with black panels set into it where white, ghostly, humanoid and near-humanoid figures are visible, while branching like structures fill the upper part of the page where the sky would be, blotting out the starscape. On the left diamond shaped craft hang in the air while the top of structures emerge from a fog, including a large T shaped structure. Pen drawing of an alien covered in coral looking bio-mechanical growths and a fogged visor only showing eyes with tentacle like limbs 'crab-walking' towards the left. Its companion is folded up in a corner among the curved walls that are covered in alien machinery that has organic like textures that look carved or inscribed. Behind the moving alien is a large oval window showing a star scape in deep space. Pen drawing of a tall, slender feminine being made of black space with white symbols showing on the body and white ellipses in place of the face with an upturned crescent moon shaped headdress or horns with another circular one over the head in a 2/3 halo. This being is standing among several jet black tentacles in front of a large stone ruin with cathedral like overtones and lurking between the columns is a tentacled eldritch horror with several tentacles wrapped around and oozing between the columns with a gas giant looking planet several times the size of the moon in part of the sky visible in the upper right corner. Pen drawing with a number of organic shapes and elements of body parts radiating out from a stylized stone or bone looking eye of Ra. The overall effect is like a carved relief in black and white ink with faces peering out above and below the eye while there are branches, stone and vine like structures flowing around the eye.

digital art, a satyr like figure with some exposed bones and a skeletal tail wearing a colorful skirt made of fabric strips with two big red braids. The figure's hair seems to be made of fabric, is teal and has the same colorful strips incorporated into it.

Lost, art thee?

Thou art not the first in these crypts, and thou shalt not be the last.

Come closer, and this humble servant will show thee thine way to salvation.

It seems thou cannot afford not to trust me, lest thy would like to end up as one of the many lost souls here...
