Here are character turn sheets I drew for The Power and Lucifer, the two MCs from the book I'm writing. I make these so can better replicate them in art and to better describe them with words. I hope for this book to be an illustrated novel, hence the drawing practice. #theFallenPower #thePower

This was painted by me in Photoshop and I am quite proud of how it turned out. Also here is a WIP collage.

"And we watched in horror as our Lightbringer, tall, fierce, and shining, was thrown from Heaven and fell like a flash of lightning to the black void below. As he plummeted, so did our hope for freedom. As his radiance dimmed, so did our fury."

Some more Lucifer art from my book! 1/2
Digital painting of a man with auburn hair, golden eyes, a long, narrow face, full lips, and a neutral expression. He has two long, curving horns protruding from the top of his head. His hair is tied back in a high ponytail and gathered by two gold rings at the back of the head and nape of the neck. His hair is very long and has a slight wave. He is wearing a rusty and worn iron crown around his forehead to the back of his head with tall, sharp points at the front and sides. He is wearing a shirt that is high on his neck that is trimmed with lace and is sleeveless and shows his shoulders. Over the shirt he wears a polished, ornamental gorget that shines brightly. He also wears two golden earrings in the visible ear. There is a strong external light source form behind him, casting an orange glow onto him and his armor. It's very flummery.

So The First Berserker Khazan is now the love of my life and I'll be playing this for awhile. If you haven't checked it I strongly suggest it! This game is gold.

A little WIP teaser of my beautiful celestial boys. Lucifer and The Power. I am still throwing some the line work and then off to blocking and rendering. I love them so much.

Another concept sketch of Lucifer for my illustrated story. I made his hair slightly longer. This was mainly to practice his face and anatomy a bit more.
A man with sweeping , backwards horns, long, dark hair, a regal face, and growing yellow-orange eyes appears to be walking or slightly leaning on something below him. He wears a textured crown with 5 spikes equally placed around it. The spikes poke through his long hair, pointing upwards. A glowing engraving on the side reads "Decidit." He also wears what appears to be a thin, draping robe that is open at the chest. He is fit and looks to be tall.

Finally wrapped up this concept sketch of my version of Lucifer for the story I'm developing. This is his undone, comfortable look as if he is in his own parlor. I really like this overall design and will probably stick with it! If you have any questions about him let me know. I love him so much!
Bust portrait of a man with light skin, large, backwards sweeping curved horns, and glowing yellow-orange eyes. He has hooded eyes, a long, lean, narrow face, a high nose bridge, neutral eyebrows, and full lips. He wears a gentle and thoughtful expression. His hair is long and auburn and falls onto his shoulders with a few stray strands resting over his chest. He wears a crown made of aged and somewhat rusty iron with glowing, yellow latin words engraved on its surface. They read "Solus, Decidit, and extorris. There are spikes on the crown that point upwards through his hair. His shirt is red silk and he nervously fiddles with his tapered sleeve cuff. Behind him is a soft orange glow from what looks to be a fireplace maybe. Bust portrait of a man with light skin, large, backwards sweeping curved horns, and glowing yellow-orange eyes.

One of the coolest cosplay sets I have done is this Private Vasquez set with @jeffzoetvisuals.bsky.social. I am a massive Alien nerd so bringing one of my heroes to life with Jeff was peak!

I've been designing my OCs for my Fallen Angel story and I'm over here gazing at them like:

I'm no authority on survivalism, protesting, or crisis management but I thought I'd share some thoughts based on my own life experience and research.

Here is a preliminary sketch of Lucifer Morningstar as he will be depicted in my story. He'll be very different than depicted in history. A "history is written by the victors" type of thing.

Over on IG and Cara, I've talked about the story I am currently working on. It's probably going to take me forever to make, but here are some prelim sketches of the MC. In short, he is an nameless fallen angel. I'm following the pseudo-dionysius idea of angel orders. He's a middle order Power.

Happy Anniversary Resident Evil 2 Remake! RE2r was, imo, the rebirth of RE. It brought back old fans as well as new fans into the franchise. Also, I may be biased, but Nick Apostolides is my all time favorite Leon and Stephanie Panisello the perfect Claire! 🫶

One of my OCs, Rohy The Ghost of Skulls! She is an ancient and protective dark fae who lives in the old forests of the Carpathians. Every bit of the costume is symbolic. The skull is only one version of her. There's a skull-less version as well that I wear to faire.

Let's throw WAY back to my first year of cosplaying when I did my first location shoot with @jeffzoetvisuals.bsky.social. I couldn't believe that was me! I designed and built this wastelander OC myself and my dad designed the shield and rifle. 🧡 It's all covered in real rust!

So if you came here from IG, you know me. If not then hello! I'm Annie. I'm an artist, cosplayer, and photographer from the US. I'm also a cat advocate, gamer, and twitch affiliate. You'll see all of that here probably. I'll start posting more of the goods soon. 🫶

"I'm going to be thinking about this night for a long time."

Sam from Stardew Valley! This is my depiction of one of his heart events where he gets to play a concert with his band in the neighboring city!

My S.T.A.R.S. uniform Jill Valentine cosplay shot by the amazing @jeffzoetvisuals.bsky.social

This shoot will always be so special to me. It all came together perfectly and I got to create art and memories with my late friend, Patrick, that I'll always hold dear.

Here's one of my favorite cosplays I've made, my Jon Snow! One could call this a gender bend. But I see it more as "me as Jon Snow." Either way, I put so much love into this one. I love Jon, it meant so much to make this!

I was gifted this amazing Harvinger Studios Savage Crucible Veteris Rapax today by @biocosplay.bsky.social and I am IN LOVE with him!

Oh yeah, I collect action figures. I will probably do some photography of him in the future!

"Blessed plate mail encases the Vestal as she delivers terrible violence and healing comfort in equal measure."

A fun fact about the Vestal, she is the only lefty I've ever cosplayed! Have you ever cosplayed a left handed character?

All foam and foam clay is @sksprops.bsky.social HD foam!

Might as well start posting some of my work. Here's a throwback to one of my favorite shoots! Claire Redfield is one of my favorite cosplays and the motorcycle shots with Jeff Zoet Visuals turned out great! Special thanks to my friend, Jamie, who made this possible. 🫶
