Here’s some stuff I did this year. I think I really messed around with the styles this time and I’m honestly proud of all of them :)

A horse-lion like creature with wings and a golden horn. His wings are spread out as he stands on his back legs. The background is bright red. A lady mutated with a scarlet butterfly. She is covering her body and generally facing away from the audience. She is also in a giant broken jar. The background is dark as the jar sits on a table. A naked manticore lady holding wine as her purple pet cat/frog creature asks for more food (their bowl is already full of it.) The lady is facing away from the audience as she looks at wine with delight. The background is a bright messy apartment. Two women kissing as the horse/lion creature from before carries a mistletoe. The woman on the left is more dragon-like while the woman on the right looks human. The background is bright blue with white sparkles and snow.

Diana offering Cheese some fruit in exchange for something. The fruit is a combination of apples, mangos, and strawberries all in one. Cheese shows his interest with a smile. Cheese agrees to help Diana. Meanwhile, Talos is fantasizing about winter festivities in her journal. Diana gets Talos’s attention by holding her face as Cheese holds the mistletoe. Talos is both fascinated by the sight of the mistletoe and what’ll happen next. Talos and Diana kiss and hold each other close as Cheese holds the mistletoe. Everybody is happy.

Been busy with some private stuff lately but I wanted to experiment with my art a little (not necessarily a style change btw). It’s not perfect but I love it :)
I’ll also be posting twice today. Next one should be traditional art.

Text: “BANANA BANDIT AVG. HEIGHT - 36” AVG. WEIGHT - 80-90LB CAN BE FOUND IN BANANA TREES AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR ***DO NOT APPROACH*** Description: A mostly green creature with the height and weight of a large dog. Its face has a wolf-like shape with forest green fur, light green snout, a yellowish nose, and purple eyes with light blue pupils. Its body consists of the same forest green fur along its body with light green fur on its sharp claws and star shaped tail. It also has dark green fur along its back and a fake yellow banana tail. Its teeth are sharp and its tongue is blue—indicating that it has powers. Behind it is a red backdrop with the texture of parchment soaked in old blood on the right side. Included, is a yellowed description with black text and banana tree stamped on the bottom. Abilities/Other: Not really thinking of the size, I feel like they would climb banana trees and, using their plant powers, cover themselves up until some unlucky fool arrives. Otherwise, they just eat bananas and grub. I can see them as solitary creatures but when one of them screeches, it’s calls for help from whoever is nearby. Maybe when things get tough, they form a pack so they can get larger animals and leave when it’s not convenient anymore.

Drawing sexy people is hard. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyways, here’s a new character I’m working on (my ideas for her are in the ALT text)

#art #characterdesign #myart #ocart #originalcharacter #watercolor #illustration #blackartist #artsky #furry #fantasyart #furryart #originaldesign
Description: A humanoid angora goat lady with a slender build standing against a black brick wall. She has some of her pink wool covering one of her eyes and in a ponytail. She’s wearing a golden horn covering, pink wool as a crop-top, purple gloves with two golden bracelets, a purple see-through cloth around her waist, and black fish-nets on her legs. Her feet are also covered in her pink wool. Her fur is off-white with light brown spots underneath. Her face looks sleepy-eyed but aware of her surroundings. Story: I’m thinking of making her prostitute with her stage name being Salt but her real name is Selene. She’ll have light magic and formally be apart of the Ironclad Sirens. I also want her to be sort of an aunt figure to Diana—she’ll have two of them with the other being in the Ironclads as a scientist/engineer. (I might make the aunts sisters.) For Diana, she’ll probably be one of the best people to talk to for information about her parents and just for life stuff. I want make her someone who’s just easy to talk to in general.

Sorry for the wait! Thanksgiving did a number on me but I did some sketches along the way :). I wanted to draw something else besides my characters. Here’s some of what I drew :p

#art #sketches #traditionalart #characterdesign #originalart #myart #artsky #blackartist #drawing #conceptart
On the left is concept art for a Frontline Captain for the Ironclad Sirens—a mercenary group that acts like a pseudo nation in my story, Bloodlust. Frontlines are the ones clients will see in their main battles. Most of her armor is light for movement but her shoulders, arms, chest, and calfs have have some heavier iron armor. Her chest plate is shaped like a six-pack for intimidation purposes. Most of her face is covered with a bandana on her head, a pair of dark shades, and a mask with a cartoony cat mouth on her mouth. She, notably, has a giant sword that acts almost like a box cutter. She can open and retract it from the hilt of the blade by turning it clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. It also has some jagged edges when it’s fully drawn. On the right is an Assassin Captain for the Ironclad Sirens (she is also a cat woman and pretty short.) Assassins aren’t seen by clients and carry out their duties in the shadows. Her armor is very light as it mainly consists of high quality leather with a pair of arm and leg iron braces. Her face is also fully covered by a white mask with two big shaded eyeholes. Her weapon are two rods that, when pressed together at the ends, can turn into a bow. By channeling her magic into it, she can create a functional bow and arrow or take them apart and create two big knives. A thin humanoid monster woman with a red dress and heals on. The ends of her dress are golden with a scorpion-like in design but can attack with the speed and reach of a serpent. Her head-dress covers her face where her eyes should be and extends beyond the back of her head. Towards the end of her head-dress are her eyes which are shaped like triangles. Her face can split apart to show a vertical set of teeth. Her arms can also split apart which makes her appear as if she has four arms. Her overall image looks like that of a saint but she behaves like an eldritch horror when your guard is down. Cowboy guy with a sack that fully covers his head and two thick asymmetrical glass pieces for his eyes. His sack also covers his left forearm and has a hole for his mouth to take smoke breaks. He has a cowboy hat, a tie, arm guards, gloves, and old western pants on. His knife is small and looks like a feather pen. A buff woman with a skull mask on. Her skull mask has tusks on the teeth and a big leaf on her head. Her bracelets and shoulder braces (?) are spiky. She also has a long wire wrapped around her left arm. She uses it to hit or drag her opponents towards her.

Something was bothering me about my recent drawing. I think my perspective was off. Should look a bit better now :). I might make some other changes later

#art #artfix #illustration #ventart #blackartist #artsky #originalart #myart
Changes: I lowered the height of the grass. Drawing of my persona (mainly a mix between a goat and a bright red rabbit) sitting down on light blue grass—her body is has a big purple squiggle on it. She’s staring at a giant orange sun in front of her and there’s a dark blue cloud below the sun. The sun also looks like it’s in space among the other stars.

Was feeling pretty down for awhile so I just let my mind wander while drawing. I think it turned out pretty well. It kinda reminds me of
Andromeda by Gorillaz. What do y’all think?

Talos and Diana just chilling together. Talos is a giant sphinx while Diana is the Roman goddess, Diana (her namesake). Talos is lying on her back against a tree and gently holding Diana up with her paws. The background is a forest. Cheese as a alicorn (unicorn and pegasus). Cheese is essentially a horse with a tiger jaw, goat eyes, and bear nose. The background is bright red while his pose is fierce and angry.
