#dd2 Liam pinning Kraus and asking the important questions
sketch that I got very lazy with when it came to Kraus. very rarely does Pawn Liam get spicy, but he pulls his will through Oblivion like an ace card a few times and reminds Kraus of what he is underneath the human veil he's often forced to wear. Dragon's Dogma story things~

Having fairly bad tinnitus at times stacked on top of visual snow blows. Tinnitus is extra spicy tonight so I'm up. My visual 'static' is very similar to a grain filter for me, I thought this was normal for a long time. Anyone else have this? Generally ppl w tinnitus often also have visual snow.

Once again colored pencils on black paper, this time also with some silver and gold ink. A3, probably around 20-25 hours.

Simple reference for Liam's dragonsplague and primordial, draconic form. He's kindhearted and that rings true for all his forms, dragon or no. For my Dragon's Dogma 2 story. I don't really like adding text like this but though it may be helpful.

#DD2
a reference sheet for Liam, the main pawn companion to Kraus, the Arisen, in my Dragon's Dogma 2 story. He is a dark pitch six-limbed dragon with a bird-like face, bright red eyes, and long, slender wings. He is shown with a side profile, two headshots, a dorsal view for wings, and his full dragonsplague form, which is less solid in appearance and more like a black mass of smoke with red eyes.

dragon licks count as a smooch in Liam's book.

#DD2
an anon said my ocs were 'smoochable', I responded with Arisen Kraus questioning such a remark as he doesn't find himself to be very 'smoochable', and his pawn, Liam, in his draconic form, showing him he is, in fact, smoochable, with a lick to the noggin. Liam as a dragon has a beaky snoot so he can't exactly 'kiss' like a human but he can certainly boop and lick like a goof. Kraus is stunned as a response, in multiple facets. further alt: idk how to tag my dd2 stuff properly, dd2 is also getting mixed up with darkest dungeon 2, which idk about. :'D in any case, on my profile it means Dragon's Dogma 2.

WIP to a colored sketch comm. It'll be cleaned up and colored next. This one made me extra happy bc it's a character who's design I created years ago. I really love seeing that they still thrive out there. <3

And that's a wrap, I was able to make up for the time I had to take off work to move and settle. I may take more in the future but for now I'm happy with my queue. Thank you, everyone!

Liam, full of pillaged food, sunning himself

#DD2
wip2 Dragon's Dogma 2 rough sketch of Arisen Kraus finding pawn Liam, in his tiny form (a form he prefers since he can move around much easier inside human structures, he's also harder to track and follow), dozing in an open doorway with remains of food and blown in leaves surrounding him. Kraus asks Liam if he helped himself to his garden.

Pawn Liam biting his Arisen (again)

#DD2
Liam only bites if he's being bothered. Kraus, his Arisen, definitely bothers him on purpose, usually picking him up at random. Liam does not enjoy being plucked out of a good slumber for the hell of it and becomes rather spicy at times later when he gains a sure will of his own. The bites are generally not a true threat, more of a 'let me be' warning. Liam is still a pawn and would not intentionally harm Kraus. Is he very annoyed? Yes. Is he going to bite? Also yes. Is Kraus going to continue to push Liam's buttons once in a while? Absolutely. Kraus wants these kinds of reactions out of Liam to prove he's got some will of his own and does react negatively to even his Arisen's unwarranted behavior. Liam was placed back in his splooting spot to sun afterwards. Inspired by a video of a guy who had a lizard in his hand that was giving him a bite.

Might open up a few sparse comms later this month. Small stuff like colored sketches and busts/icons. I'll drop deets when it comes closer to a potential opening. I haven't publicly opened comms in years but I have lots of expenses coming up and any extra income is a +. examples below.
