if i had a nickel for every time Hilladar has blood over his hair and face, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

#art | #artph | #ocart | #ocsky | #thesren_ocs
A collar-up, grayscale portrait of my original character named Hilladar. Despite its grayscale, his eyes were colored a deep red - the same shade of the background and the blood on the top of his head and dripping over his face like war paint. White dots the eyes like piercing pupils. He has a fur-lined cloak and armor, and two earrings on each ear. A scar cuts across his right cheek, disappearing below his beard. Some of his white hair is loosened from its slicked back style. Made in 2025. Another collar-up portrait of my character Hilladar, this time with color, and wearing only a blue, collared shirt. He is facing to his left, looking beyond the portrait with the same stern expression, and blood drips from his right forehead - soaking the loosened white hair and even getting into the white of his right eye. The blood stops over his beard. The background is a pastel blue and dull, dark blue gradient, thickly framed by a light gray. Made in 2023.

been a while since i properly posted, but hi, i've just been busy with comms. 😅 here's a portrait of my otherworldly sorcerer OC Medea (re-designed) as compensation.

(i'll be re-opening comms this month, so stay tuned!)

Digital, shoulders up portrait of a woman, with two lines sectioning her face into four parts. Light seeps between those lines, as if there's something underneath her umber skin. A bright white light falls over her shoulders, illuminating her portrait and the dark background in a dream-like softness.

hiraeth.
Under an overcast sky by looming cliffs, a mother and her twin sons linger by the sea, the waves washing over their bare feet. The twins have their mother's warm umber skin, but have their father's moon white hair. They wear a simple shirt, cut from the same fabric their mother's long skirt is made of, and shorts that reach their knees. One is shielding himself from the harsh winds, while the other is unbothered, looking back at his brother. The mother doesn't linger too far - night dark hair and a deep purple shawl over her pale blue blouse. But her gaze is elsewhere, unseen, out at sea. The scene is a memory, one of the boys know too well, and don't. The boy who shields himself from the gusts of wind is grown up now - at least three and a half decades of weariness on his rugged, scarred face. He looks beyond what we can see, but he's still on that day, at the sea. His thoughts recall: "The sea cradled our knobby knees, and embraced us the deeper we went. You were the sun's funeral pure, crackling as soon as you touched the water..." "... but you're already too far for us to feel your warmth." He is looking at fragment of his brother, from his mind, disappearing as quickly as it comes to. Easily, replaced by another memory that disturbs the peace of the waters of his thoughts. Red blooms. And his thoughts echo: "His hand sealed mine like an anchor's hold, but he will follow you soon. Under the shadows of a roaring sky, quickly felled with no one to listen. My lungs are still full of ash from your burning air, but now he's drowning me." A red star shines in the darkness, splitting into shards like his brother. A shadow of halved skulls looms over them, as the man embraces his breaking brother. His thoughts call: "At least he will be embraced by you... right?" He holds him. It breaks him more. "Mother, tell me you're there, at the end of all things."

practice portraits of mine and my hubby's OCs made after a long time of not painting because of art fight. XD

these aren't their canon looks, and is only for an alternate universe scenario.

A headshot portrait of Riley (left) and Calix (right). A feature of them in a different universe, partly inspired by Dungeons and Dragons. Riley has bunny ears, while Calix has horns curling like a ram. The two are also featured under different lighting, where Riley has a warmer light source, while Calix is under a cooler light. Riley has red, layered hair, gray eyes, a slight smile, and a scar shaped like an X across his right cheek. Calix has pale hair, heterochromia - his left eye being cyan, the right being white - a beard, and a scar from his forehead, past his right eye, and down to his right jaw.

a commission of a friend's D&D character, Forge Breaker

[ #artcommission | #art | #artph | #originalcharacter | #DnD ]
A portrait of minotaur barbarian character named Forge Breaker. He has gray fur with red markings scrawled over his torso, and armor for the lower half of his burly body. In front of him, he stands with his battle axe, made from dark metal with silver engravings. The magical light of his silhouette forms behind him. A close-up of Forge Breaker. His left horn is broken, while the other curves towards the sky.

i wanted to play with lighting and make it look like a scene. i found it really fun to paint light just bouncing off of surfaces!

A portrait of my character, Riley Wickham, sitting in a crowded room and enjoying a conversation it seems at a wooden table. He is oblivious to the person looking at him from afar, who is focused on him to the point that the light of the room shines a spotlight on him. The viewer shares this point of view with the mysterious person. A close-up of the portrait. Riley has red hair and gray eyes, and an x-shaped scar across his face.

still think about this every month. i should draw more interactions...

[ #thesren_ocs | #oc | #ocsky | #artph ]
Peregrine (upper left) and his older sister, Anaia (upper right) are talking about how their friend, Orpheus, is frustrated at Peregrine. Anaia retorts, pointing out how Peregrine still doesn't see that Orpheus is trying to show his interest towards Peregrine - to no avail. Peregrine, oblivious this whole time, is shocked at this revelation. Anaia is at a disbelief. At the bottom of the page is a drawing unrelated to the scene, featuring Peregrine using his powers via a dark magic arrow.
