the tired sleepies have claimed two victims 😔
drawing of Ruyak (giant bear-sphinx) and Kaelin (human) sleeping/snuggling. Kaelin is being smushed in Ruyak's hand and her leg is sticking out between his fingers, but she's unbothered. Ruyak's face is squished against said hand and the back of his other arm. Morning light is just barely touching the scene. closeup of prev

“In school kids used to say if you dropped something from high enough, it’d bust right through to the underground. If the teachers heard you saying that stuff, you got sent to the guidance room for 'telling lies.'”
Illustration of a character sitting precariously on a balcony railing in a futuristic city filled with towering high rises. The light from below is an eerie green, catching on the character's features. She has dreads and casual street clothes, and is looking into the middle distance with a thoughtful expression.

guiding light
digital painting depicting a dragon perched on the top of a broken tree in the sunset light. The dragon holds a small lantern in its jaws, glowing yellow and attracting small insects.

red panda sphinx?
drawings and sketches of a red panda sphinx, a creature with the body of a red panda, a human-like face (with red panda markings) and pheasant wings. Sketches include: a neutral pose (colored with vibrant reds), an annoyed expression, and happy expression with paws pushing into cheeks, and a cute startled pose standing on back legs with paws in the air and wings spread.

post-snuggle regrets...
Sketch. Kaelin (a human) looks down at her clothes with a long-suffering expression. They are covered in shed hair from her boyfriend (a giant bear monster (he's very fluffy)).

"I'm not the same person I was when I started."
Illustrations of Kaelin, a human woman. There are two versions of her, opposed like the figures on a playing card. One version reflects her state at the beginning of "The Moth and the Bear" books. She's a frightened teenager gripping onto her duties as a smith, the hammer in her hand. She is surrounded by the leaves of a bush similar to a jasmine, its leaves touching her arm like a hand. The other version represents her at the end of book III, fierce and confident with her hair down, wearing a fencat cape and gripping a bloody arrow in her hand.

- It was the same face he wore when he was hunting, but there was no time to stop and check the light in his eyes, not if she had any hope of winning the game. -
Ruyak the Kanai (giant bear-sphinx) playing a cat-and-mouse game with Kaelin, a human, in a glade. The lighting and angle make for a dramatic action shot. Ruyak's expression is intense, smile a little bit uncanny. Kaelin is running, midstride, and looking at Ruyak over her shoulder like she's scrambling to change directions at the last moment.

many thoughts, head full (of environmental imaging equipment)
An android with a realistic human face stares at the viewer over its shoulder, an expression of wariness or alarm in its eyes. The light is unsettling and cold, glinting sharp off the android's polished metallic head and shoulders, and the shadows hold an almost gruesome reddish hue.

✨ character design ✨
A sketch of a black cat. It kind of looks like if someone grabbed a wet black rag with eyes on it and scrunched it up in their hand, then set it down upright.

bear in mind
Three sketches of Ruyak the Kanai drawn in a cutesy style: One where he is sitting and smiling at the camera, one where he is yelling and upset, and one where he's blushing and touching his cheek like he's embarrassed.

two (2) ugly ducklings
#murderbot #lilo&stitch
drawing of SecUnit (main character from Murderbot on AppleTV+) holding Stitch (from Disney's animated film Lilo & Stitch) by one leg at arm's length. Stitch looks ready to cause some mayhem. SecUnit's body language is stiff but unworried. Text reads: SECURITY ANALYSIS THREAT ASSESSMENT: UNKNOWN.

sketch of a sleepy tired Ruyak (giant bear-sphinx) laying with his chin on the ground. Kaelin (human) is on top of his head, leaning over his forehead with her head propped up on her elbows. They are looking at each other. Text says: Are you tired of going ape shitt? Don't you just want to be nice?

POV: your human girlfriend is telling you about her day
Sketch of Kaelin, a human, from above as though looking up at the viewer, in the viewer's shadow. She is smiling and talking about something. Glyphs in speech bubbles around her head represent what she is apparently talking about: A knife, a sun, and a squirrel.

a crate full of books has many uses
#sphinx #reading
Ciph the sphinx sits comfortably in a crate. Next to the crate is a pile of books she has presumably tossed out of the box. She is reading one of them.

A meme, there are two panels. In the first panel, a person sits in a room alone, surrounded black squiggles, a manifestation of depression or ennui. In the second panel, a bunch of DnD paraphernalia comes bursting in, including playing dice, figures, and character sheets. The darkness is banished, and the person exclaims gleefully "omg DnD night with friends hi!!!"
