Hi, I’m Ember! I’m a digital artist who creates vibrant textured art, focusing on fantasy, horror, original characters, fanart, TF2, and nature photography!
A surreal digital artwork where we take the perspective of someone holding a corrupted crowbar. They're falling through a dark void, pursued by the ominous Interloper Entity, a black and magenta corrupted specter with an umbrella-like head. In the sky is a floating island, down below is checkerboard ground. A statue-like bust stares upwards with pale white eyes, she's damaged and coated in darkness. Various objects float upwards, while small A-Posing human figures fall downwards. This is fanart for the Interloper Alternate Reality Game. A large, dimly lit room is full of icy mist, four characters stand in the foreground, while a fifth descends a small flight of stairs. Camillia, an icy dragon-like woman stares forward coldly and confidently, unamused by Polaris’s theatrics. Zélior, a isopod fae knight glances over to Camilla, their hands rest on their sword at the ready just in case. Endemama, floats above the crowd, a confident smile on their face. Euridice, a pink tiefling nervously looks around the odd room. Polaris, is a small undead man who holds up the same invitation all the other guests have. A large page of colored in sketches 8 of the original character, Ember. There’s a jagged border acting as a frame for the image. The largest sketch is a prominently featured portrait. The second largest is on the right, a full body sketch of Ember with her bangs pushed back and hair floating, revealing an oversized dark third eye. Next to it is two smaller portraits, one of Ember’s head tilted forward displaying her third eye when activated, and the second is Ember intensely staring. In the bottom right corner, there is a tiny strange looking Ember. On the leftmost side are three more sketches, one of Ember lying on her back, the other is just her outstretched arm alit with purple fire magic, and the last is another portrait of Ember looking up with intrigue and pupils.

Woke up to snow today, it kinda gives a small relief to see an early November snowy day again here.

Unrelated but here’s a recent autumn photo of Buddy, he’s doing so well for a 12 y/o dog :,>
In a pale autumn forest a white and brown dog named Buddy stands on top of a fallen log. The ground is covered in pale brown, beige, and gold leaves. Some trees still retain bright gold autumn leaves.

I kinda want to do a design breakdown… I realize I’ve never really gone into my thought process, inspirations, narrative reasons or anything else like that behind any of my characters. Might be cool idk :o

I had like $30 on my Switch trapped on my account… so a couple weeks ago I got Pokemon ZA :>

Besides Tomodachi Life coming out next year, I had 0 plans of getting anything else.

I’m taking my time with it, and it’s way more fun than I expected and the writing is fun :>

A digital artwork of an aquatic enviroment that casts light upon a woman whose body resembles an octopus, hair resembles a mann o’war, and her face mostly obscured by shadow. One of her four arms touches a watery fish that swims above her, the other three rest in idle positions.

Still workshopping this design, I like where it is but I think I’ll tweak/rework parts of it later.

#oc #ocart #ocsky #art #wip
A character design of a gloomy looking woman with heavy aquatic theming. She has hair inspired by Portuguese Mann o’ War, a watery fish draped around her shoulders acting as a covering scarf, and her body resembles a cool brown octopus, her face is slightly human but is mostly obscured by shadows. In the top-left corner is her name written in stylized text: “ AQUARIA “ Directly below are the color samples used for her design.

Interloper is probably my favorite ARG, I love its smart usage of the source engine and different game mechanics.
I’m excited for what’s next . . .

I want to reopen my commissions but I honestly have no idea how to go about pricing my art.

I don’t know where to start charging for a full scene with multiple characters or a sketchy but vibrant spread.

At the same time I’m still working on improving various aspects of my art/skillset so … idk 😵‍💫

I was hoping this'd help my motivation, but instead I think it's doing the opposite. Outside of the experimental layout of 4 that I kinda like, I can tell it's making me have a sloppier output than I prefer for my sketchy artworks.

I think I'll just focus on non-challenge, horror-y art this Oct.

Edyntober - Day 5: Endless Forest

There’s no fauna here, whatever’s left of them drags aimlessly in the mist.

#oc #ocsky #art
#Edyntober #Edynvale
A digital artwork depicting a strange scene. There is text at the bottom: “If Only They Knew” From up high, we look down into an overgrown crater hung heavy with discolored mist. In its center rises a strange crystal pillar that further distorts the colors around it. When looking closely in the crater, small points of intrigue can be spotted: such as a strange construct in the top left that has a bramble spreading from it.

#oc #ocsky #art
#Edyntober #Edynvale
A digital artwork is chaotically falling apart as someone monologues about their encounter with the featured character Ember. They have dissenting opinions about her various choices, including who she chooses as her friends and that she’s denied the speakers help. There’s a small bit of narration in the top-left corner in neatly organized pale text, it reads: “Ember, the mortal daughter of the Goddess of Dreams had fallen from her home dimension. Lost in the mortal coil so long she’s nearing 20, now no longer just a lost child.“ The chaotically spread monologue in neon green & red text all together reads from top to bottom: “And, I found her. How sad that she wastes her life for that miserable tumor she calls ‘friend’. Hopefully, she’ll cut it off… When our eyes met- She fascinated me… she too must be enraptured by me, her stare is always so… Intense. Unfortunately… She’s a vicious thing, I can tell she won’t come to her senses. Incredible that this bug has the gall to deny charity from a God ! That sappy brute must have ruined her mind - No other explanation. If only she wasn’t so quick to dart back to that meat wall… Maybe then she’d realize I want to help her get home.”

Edyntober - Day 3: Setting

#oc #ocsky #art
#Edyntober #Edynvale
A digital artwork of featured a rough imperfect map in the foreground, and a strange planet in the distance in the background. The planet is composed of a supercontinent, which land is overtaken by strange red and purplish biomes, only the southern coastline is a natural green. The world’s waters is dotted with various isles around it. The Map in the foreground is flawed, it reflects only a small section of the wider world of Edynvale. Resembling early forms of paper mapping before technology and travel allowed for accurate top-down views of a world like ours. There’s text at the bottom, it reads: “Edynvale is currently in an era known as a ‘quiet time’ - often when societal progress follows the deaths of particularly abhorrent Immortals here. Mortalkind has always preferred hiding away from the mainland, mapping their strange world little by little”

#Edyntober #Edynvale
A digital artwork that features a dual portrait of two characters, Ember on the Left, and Barren on the right. They’re framed in twisted red and blue flesh, the image is distorted in an otherworldly way. There’s text on the top left and bottom right of the image, it says: “Ember, an otherworldly creature and Barren, a half-giant share a close bond forged from being trapped in a surreal ‘Endless Forest’. When the state of their lives goes from bad to worse, they struggle with the question if they could (or should) try to escape.”
