Been doing a lot of pose practice lately. Here's the @theposearchives.bsky.social November challenge… #DTPYSNOV25.

I saw the ref and all I could think was “Vin Mistborn”.

Some more Barbarian character design noodling with ref from @trueref.bsky.social

More DnD PC character design. This time I've got a Barbarian who is a shard of a spider demon. I think I'm finally cooking on this one.

Saw a funny pumpkin and had s bit of inspiration.

Alright, I looked at this drawing for long enough and got so upset with it I had to go again. This time I redrew the pose from memory.

Thanks @theposearchives.bsky.social for haunting me with your cursed downward angles. Ffs.

Thanks @rebeckeronie.bsky.social for the cool Wick to draw.

Just some @drawfeeshow.com fanart as a warmup. The Stegaswordsman from one of the Ralph episodes.

Thanks @adorkastock.com for the reference!

QRP with something silly and whimsical! ( I saw it again and I did it again),

QRO with something Silly and Whimsical

(Donut God is @drawfeeshow.com stuff and this is their Digijinka).

This angle is an absolute nightmare @theposearchives.bsky.social . You're devils.

Wick is a character by the inimitable @rebeckeronie.bsky.social. I'm sorry they look awful In this one, Reb.

I did the thing. It’s nice to feel slightly confident drawing an extreme head angle. It's not super great, but it's not too bad, and that's a real improvement over not long ago.

Doing some from reference practice of my DnD PC based on these refs from @theposearchives.bsky.social …. Yasa and the horrible little rabbit she's not allowed to eat.

Still on the astronaut and Deleter screen tone kick. The ref is from @trueref.bsky.social and was really fun to draw.

Another @trueref.bsky.social study. A little Gothic Hornet Silksong dress.

A little from reference pose practice using a great pose of Gabby from @trueref.bsky.social .

Man my version of her head is real friggin' big. Also, drawing pursed lips is hard. Likeness is impossible, sorry Gabby.

Time to walk into the woods.

The old "random bullshit go" technique from my variant Architect crest Hornet design.
November 8, 2025 at 1:53 PM
I had an idea this morning and there's zero chance it's a novel idea.

This isn't like, an expression of skill, or an exercise in improving my abilities, or even something aesthetic and cool and shareable, but sometimes it's just fun to turn on the symmetry tool and the lightpen brush and go to work…. Sometimes it's fun to spend five minutes drawing a clown angel.

Here's Kreth, our monk, in Silksong mode.

Doin' so much art today! Burnee the Silksong Goblin alchemist!
October 29, 2025 at 12:26 AM
These are too fun. Turning goblins into bugs! Who knew? Drago Trashgrub, draconic sorcerer, in Silksong style.
October 28, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Drew this Hollow Knight version of my Pathfinder goblin bard today. Skint, Maestro of Mystery.
October 28, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Okay, one more alternate crest Hornet Silksong. The Shaman!
