The Sun and The Moon
These two OCs, Valentine and Alba respectively, are quite opposite in all their themes, and yet they are rather similar in personality - kind people seeking to help others through their roles in life
Halfbody of my character Valentine, a man with pointy ears, dark skin, blonde curly hair, holding a sunflower on his hands. He's wearing a light robe and some sort of golden feathery cape. The background is inspired by art nouveau, with circles on the middle part, rounded corners on top and bars at the bottom Halfbody of my character Alba, a woman with grey skin, dark grey and black hair, and a black eyepatch over her left eye (the one we see as right). She's holding a moonflower up to her face, and she's wearing a purple robe, a navy sash with a pink braided stripe, and a navy scarf. The background is inspired by art deco, with geometric patterns of moons, lines and circles.

Decided to doodle something for myself combining two little challenges into one! With the palette given by @kiraelric.bsky.social and the #DnDMonthly challenge which looks pretty fun and chill.

I went with Alba, one of my latest OCs I adapted to play in DnD, she's a cleric who likes to dance ♥️
A fullbody of a demon/tiefling woman with satyr legs, horns and an eyepatch in a flowy pose, kind of dancing with magic. The palette is made of a dark-ish purple-blue, a saturated blue, red, orange and yellowy- tone.

Poster design I did for a DnD party I'm currently playing on with my character Alba (the tiefling) :) each color is picked after one of the characters - I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out!
Poster in yellow, orange, teal and navy blue of four characters. Top to bottom an old-ish man with a gun, a younger man with long beard and hair, a sad-looking demon woman, and...a frog!

some thoughts on patience

#comic #webcomic #art
i realized i've become very impatient with myself lately. i'm never satisfied to think about just one thing at a time. i'm making to do lists for things i know i won't be able to make the time for, and by the time i actually get to work, i'm cutting every possible corner in the hopes i can make up a couple minutes for the next thing. in some twisted way, i tell myself "i'm making the most of my time". when i get like this, my ideas are so cloudy. i reach for my next thought like a fish in a puddle and the more impatiently i splash my arm around, the less clearly i can see. i'm trying to remind myself that behind the conscious, controlling, participating part of my mind is an ocean of subconscious thought that i am often shouting over with my impatience.

A design/ref sheet commission for a FR client, for one of their dragons but with some small changes, and a version with armor, I haven't done as many feral sheets/designs as anthro or humanoid so it made me really happy to work on this one ♥️
Ref sheet of a equine/kirin-like dragon with a single horn, quadrupedal, some scales on skin and fluff on shoulders and back. The right version is the same dragon with silver armor and blue cloth.

Commission for a FR customer, this illustration was quite hard - I don't recall drawing spaceships before and I had to mostly design it based on the client's text and moodboard, so a two-in-one challenge!
A blue character is sleeping with mouth open, he wears an orange space suit with brown boots, with his feet on the dock. The right side is the space out there, with the front glass, and the rest is the inner side of the ship, with a door on the left, some tubes and cables hanging, and panels on the right.

Commission done over Vgen for @shiky.bsky.social - I was quite excited when I saw the request to draw Shiky and Ivy, as they have such a wholesome friendship vibe together ♥️🥹
Shiky's characters: a bat-like character who is sleeping, and a wolfcat character next to him, who is pulling some sort of blanket over him so he doesn't get cold while sleeping. They are both sitting at some sort of sofa

I'm usually busy with commissions or juggling another four things for work but I will see if I manage to share here my commission sheet later this week :)

For now, another commission for Cawfee, this time a PWYW experimental ♥️
A poster-like limited palette halfbody art of a woman called Blue with her name on the top right corner. The background is made of tiles of different colors from the palette. She's adjusting her sunglasses with a hand, while having the other on a pocket. She has medium-length wavy hair, freckles, lip piercings, a striped scarf and multiple layers of clothes (a t-shirt, a patchwork shirt and a baggy jacket).

Today's messy WiP of the huge drawing is the Lilith sisters, now that I redesigned them after more than 10 years since I first created them
Three sisters together, from left to right: a dark skin woman with braids, a white top hat, and an outfit of reds orange and yellow. Then a pale woman with long hair, a jester hat with three parts, a top and skirt in blue and black. Finally, a lightly tan skin one with long wavy hair, a jester hat with two parts, and many frills.
