[P] Mother Nature
Digital illustration by Arukanoda. The drawing depicts a scene of a four legged animal with golden horns and swirl-like patterns on the body watching the viewer while standing among a completely untamed flora environment. Small glowing butterflies lead the viewer to the otherworldly animal, who has some connection to the place it resides in given the shape of the leaves. A piece dedicated to my Arvani species showing their god figure, Mederiah.

[OC] ❄️🌊
Digital illustrations by Arukanoda. The left image features a white furred fictional species (arvani) looking towards the dawn with a wintery sky. The right image depicts an indigo dragon in the rain with a projection of light emerging from the top of her muzzle. Drawn on 2024, left image is a commission that was done for Witchiness. Lucian (left) is Lavi's (right) partner in this particular story, so I often draw them in opposite tones of each other. In this case, the calm of a new day, and the heart of a rainstorm.

Phases of the drawing! The initial pose / composition by me, color rendering by @volvokun.bsky.social , and overpaint / background by me. Usually it's unlike me to go this crazy on a rendering phase but it's also my daughter and she deserves anything she wishes from me.
Three digital images side by side that show the different stages of this drawing. The far left is a black and white sketch by Arukanoda, the center is a colored and shaded version of the sketch by Volvokun, and the far right piece is the final drawing with overpaint and background elements by Arukanoda.
