My piece for August's #vgenchallenge The theme was "mirrors," and my mind immediately went to the idea of mirrors as portals. In this case, portals to alternate realities wherein one of Lili's lost sisters each got to be the one who lived. (Detail closeups to follow)

#ocsky #vgen #ocart
A girl in a floral dress sits slumped in front of a vanity mirror. Three other women, all with her face, are reflected back at her; each showing care for her distress in their own ways. In the middle, one who embodies the feeling of winter to the first girl's feeling of spring reaches through the glass, laying her hand upon the girl's hair in an act of comfort.

Hey hey~ TTRPG player, occasional-DM, map maker, character artist, and AP podcaster checking in~ 💞
A portrait of two aarakocran (bird people) lovers. The larger one, based on a black peacock, holds the other over his shoulder while she looks playfully scandalized. Two people embracing; a small woman with dark hair and long, thin braids has knocked her partner to the floor in a hug. Her partner, a silver-haired nonbinary person, puts up with the treatment with a smile. Both are dressed in western-inspired fantasy clothes, and their cowboy hats are knocked askew. A late night thunderstorm rages overhead while, below, a couple rest safely in one another's arms. A half-elf man holds his tiefling partner in a comforting manner, leaning against an open shoji wall. A game board on the ground beside them, pieces scattered, speaks to an interrupted moment before the storm hit. A family of three people snuggling on a couch together. The largest of them, a golden dragonborn, holds a small tiefling child with pigtails on his lap. He has a book in one hand, and his arm around a human woman who is snuggled into his side. They look content, at peace together for this moment in time.

So this is one way to get Rumi to spend time on a couch. (Couch! Couch! Couch! Couch!) #kpdh #rujinu #kpopdemonhunters
Rumi and Jinu, both with healing patterns, are curled up together on a couch. Jinu has fallen asleep with his head in Rumi's lap, and she watches him sleep with deep affection in her eyes.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!
Cuddling in bed, a man idly runs his hand down his partner's leg which lights up at his touch.

If you're still looking at portfolios, as it were, I'm always up for challenges, particular those with a fantasy bent. ko-fi.com/covenmouse
Lucanis (from Dragon Age Veilguard) and Rook spend a lazy afternoon in bed. Lucanis is relaxing with a mug of coffee and a good book while Rook works on a small mechanical contraption; proud of himself for getting it to work. Afternoon sun streams in through the wide open windows, illuminating their loving expressions, and a room filled with plants, tools, and schematics. A pair of half elf lovers dance beneath swinging lanterns, their eyes only for one another. A work of alternate-universe Sailor Moon fanart featuring Rei Hino, makoto Kino, Ami Mizuno, Nephrite, Jadeite, and a female incarnation of Zoicite. The group is arrayed around a carnival game at a festival, with the silhouettes of more people behind them, fair grounds tents, and a large Ferris Wheel in the far distance that is backed by a heavily stylized crescent moon. The game they are playing is a water-pistol shooting game. Starting from the foreground, Zoicite, Makoto, and Jadeite are focused on firing at their targets, while Nephrite is mid-turn to aim at Zoicite, throwing her aim awry. In the far background, Rei is watching Jadeite's frustration with the game, seeming amused. Ami, beside her, hugs a stuffed bear that Zoicite already won for her earlier. Everyone in the piece is wearing an array of late-90s inspired looks, with a heavy emphasis on grunge and goth subcultures. A family of three people snuggling on a couch together. The largest of them, a golden dragonborn, holds a small tiefling child with pigtails on his lap. He has a book in one hand, and his arm around a human woman who is snuggled into his side. They look content, at peace together for this moment in time.

So I'm usually pretty shy about doing fanart cause I never feel like the characters are recognizable in my style, but #kpdh has been living in my head rent free for weeks and it was time to do something about it. First up, some #zoemira ! Next... probably Rujinu or various huntrixXsaja poly ships??
Fanart of Mira and Zoey from Kpop Demon Hunters. Mira is holding Zoey, who has her legs wrapped around MIra's waist, while giving a rude gesture at the camera. It's clear from their smeared lipstick and the various lipstick stains across their faces, necks, and shoulders that they were caught making out. Zoey is blushing profusely, but neither seem apologetic.

Not sure if you're still looking, but bsky putting this on my dash makes me think it's as good a time as any to mention that my commissions are open over at ko-fi ko-fi.com/covenmouse/c...
A woman playing with fire magic strikes an elegant pose for the camera. She wears a visayan inspired ensemble with a radiant crown of gold, looking boldly at the viewer with haunting, glowing golden eyes. Two people embracing; a small woman with dark hair and long, thin braids has knocked her partner to the floor in a hug. Her partner, a silver-haired nonbinary person, puts up with the treatment with a smile. Both are dressed in western-inspired fantasy clothes, and their cowboy hats are knocked askew. An underwater scene of Ami Mizuno and Zoisite from Sailor Moon. They embrace, sharing a tender kiss beneath the waves, framed by tendrils of seaweed as sunlight dances through the water above. Image of two sisters, one of whom (looking irritated,) is giving a piggyback ride to the other, who is teasing her.

Kicking August off right with... a missed deadline😅This was gonna be my piece for vgen's monthly contest, but I didn't realize that was even a thing until four hours before the deadline. Still love the finished piece, though, and I don't draw Divina half as much as I ought.

I'd say this was a "quick" practice animation but I spent probably five hours on it, give or take. There are some volume control issues, buuuut I think I'm getting somewhere~

A couple stand beneath an oddly weeping willow that is oddly autumnal coloured despite the snow on the ground around them. The girl is a tiefling with long, braided blond pigtails and sharp, golden claws. She's taken her partner, a half-eladrin man, by the hand and wrist and is seemingly leading him off into the horizon with a grin. Though he seems moody, a small smile on his lips suggests that he's happy to follow. A couple are sharing an umbrella in the rain. The man is squatting down, bent forward so that the girl can sit on his back and hold the umbrella over both them. The umbrella is lit up with glowing orange magic, like a sunbeam being cast down over both of them. A piece of Fallout New Vegas fanart featuring a female, butch Courier Six. She is a tiny woman wearing faded jeans, cowboy boots, a dirty, faded Grand Canyon T-Shirt and over-large cowboy hat with bullet holes ripped through the rim. Six sits on a dingy bar countertop, her feet on a stool, tipping it backward, with a pistol in her hands. She stares into the camera with a wild grin, and danger in her eyes. An elegant woman sits, smoking, before an elaborate, vaguely east-asian window with a night time city skyline stretching out beyond. She exudes an air of mystery and allure, draped in many patterned silk and covered in golden jewelry.

Nefertiri and Nikaya are some of my oldest OCs, and though I try not to revisit old work too often, I wanted to take a crack at how I might draw them now, 25 years after first conceptualizing them.

For funsies, anyone wanna share old OCs they've dusted off?

Image of two sisters, one of whom (looking irritated,) is giving a piggyback ride to the other, who is teasing her. A close up of the two sisters' faces, showing off the textured shading, and intricacy of their hairstyles. One sister has dreads ending in puffy balls, while the other has a large mess of curls. A very old artwork with a drawing from 2000 on the left and 2010 on the right. Both feature a character design of the same light-skinned african girl, with large amounts of improvement in technical skill between the two.

Thank you for the share!!

Lately I've been working on my animation, but since bsky is trash at gifs/animated webp IDK if they'll actually show as animated or not. Guess we'll see!
Short animation of a girl going from mildly upset to very upset, with an emphasis on tears forming and cheeks puffing out. Enjoying a surprise kiss. Cuddling in bed, a man idly runs his hand down his partner's leg which lights up at his touch. A work in progress of a girl planting nuzzled kisses on her partner's jaw.

A couple stand beneath an oddly weeping willow that is oddly autumnal coloured despite the snow on the ground around them. The girl is a tiefling with long, braided blond pigtails and sharp, golden claws. She's taken her partner, a half-eladrin man, by the hand and wrist and is seemingly leading him off into the horizon with a grin. Though he seems moody, a small smile on his lips suggests that he's happy to follow. A soft, somewhat somber picture of two people sitting in a field of snow. One is a man with a beaten up face and blood on his hands. He has his head down, eyes nearly closed, in obvious pain or confusion. A girl sits close between his splayed legs, knees drawn up close. Her hands cup his face, her forehead presses against his. "Go on. Say it," he says. "Say what?" she asks. "I was stupid." "No, you weren't--" He interrupts, "It was reckless, and I should've... But I saw them, and I couldn't-- I'm so stupid! I should've let them--" "You did the right thing." "No, I ddn't--" "Look at me." "--Because I'm--" "LOOK AT ME." There is a long silence. "You did the right thing. And I am so proud of you." A portrait of two aarakocran (bird people) lovers. The larger one, based on a black peacock, holds the other over his shoulder while she looks playfully scandalized. Two tiefling women share a tender kiss beneath a starry, mauve sky. One of the women has green skin and dark hair with horns that cup backward into it. Her dark green and blue wings fold toward the camera, forming a semi-circle around her partner, a red-skinned tiefling with white hair and powerful biceps.

Feels weird making this post right now, but I've been working up the courage for weeks and I've finally lost all my fucks. Is there anyone who might be willing to send me a @vgen.co invite? Examples attached~

Man, '22 was rough for me--only did the one piece (Jet from Cowboy Bebop)--but overall I think I've become more willing to take risks and experiment, which is nice to see

A painting of Jet from Cowboy Bebop as portrayed by Mustafa Shakir Portrait of a woman with dark hair and reptilian gold eyes; colour pops around her, bright, in a delicate mixture of gold and blue A pair of lovers spending a cozy afternoon napping in each other's arms beneath golden beams of sunlight coming in through an open window. The shadows are somber, but motes of light dance in the sunbeams around them. A couple sitting together at a small table, in the deep of night. The only light present is a small oil lamp, a glowing flower in her hair, and a puff of flame from the woman's lips. She tips her partner's head toward her, lighting his cigarette with her magic.

bsky keeps accusing my perfectly innocent drawings of being "nsfw" so I figured I might as well lol. Have some L/T cuddles and a demonstration of Lili's haptic scale patterns. (Ooo so scandalous 🙄 )

srsly tho, if anyone has pointers on animating particles in CSP, hmu

Another practice #animation with Lili, this time recreating one of my favorite reaction gifs. I always think my style won't translate well to animation until I see it moving, and then it works pretty well.

Working on colouring with gradient maps! It's pretty fun, I'm learning a lot, but wow does it take a while. Anyway, it's been a long while since I've drawn Karma. They needed some love! Longer still since we've gotten to play them (hint @elliottrose.bsky.social hint)
