who else remembers this old grump

#primal #primalps2

Digital illustration of Scree from the game Primal. He is a short gargoyle holding a flaming torch and illuminated by it, staring at the viewer with two equally glowing eyes. In a terribly ironic twist of fate as well, I have forgotten to draw either of his ears when I made this. I am now worse than Jen.

Behold, a #guildwars2 dump. A WIP and some fun lil drawings. Hopefully, more to come!

#gw2 #charr #asura #sylvari

Digital illustration of a male charr from Guild Wars 2. He is dark furred, from a black mane to ebony-like fur, with stark red eyes, and is barring his teeth at the viewer in a scowl.

Digital illustration of an asura from Guild Wars 2. She is smirking lightly at the viewer with her arms crossed. Her eyes are a mellow gold, hair off-white and braided in the back, and her skin is light green with some darker stripes.

Digital illustration of a sylvari from Guild Wars 2. He has longer white leaves for hair, fuschia eyes, and desaturated green skin. He is dressed in dark clothes reminescent of a necromancer, his expression is grim, and he's propping himself on a ledge on his side.

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

My #sylvari necromancer OC, Seagnait. A man devoted to the pursuit of all knowledge, at a cost he does not acknowledge.
#guildwars2 #gw2

A digital picture of a sylvari (a plant-person race from Guild Wars 2). He looks off to the side with parted lips, and in his hands is an ornately bound thick book that he's skimming through.

it's time!

i've had the most wonderful honor of drawing "Dubster" for @captainkate2258.bsky.social project, #SIGNALIS: The Knight Errant, an utterly amazing audiobook of the incredible work of the esteemed @rydermarie.bsky.social and @ostheim89.bsky.social (so many superlatives but i mean them all)

A digital drawing of Elster/Dubster sitting behind a recording desk, turned sideways from the viewer and holding a paper page, reading out the first chapter of "The Knight Errant - Chapter 1: The Lily in the Vault" by DearAgonist and Ostheim89, a part of "A Victim of Stars" series. She is wearing a pair of headphones connected to an old Unitra tape recorder, leaning close to a microphone, with more equipment in the background. On the wall, a poster depicting Kitezh hangs, and more pages are scattered to her left on the desk.

#meettheartist

Self portrait sitting in a grassy field, framed by a halo of antlers in the background. Two flags are featured - Polish and bisexual. Information is listed in four bullet points:
First, hourglass: witnessed the turn of the millennium (but no worldwide blackout).
Second, anatomical heart: natural sciences, video essays, video games, folklore, tea.
Third, songbird: NIN, Korn, Massive Attack, Arcade Fire.
Fourth, carnivore skull: time flows unforgiving. there's never enough.

something something needed a break from figuring out human anatomy again. odd creatures are an old comfort

A pencil drawing inside a sketchbook is presented on a table. It depicts a running creature with a heavily stylized moose skull looking at the viewer, with three stars in the background, and the rest of the elk-like body covered in geometric patterns.
