Comm for @taliadoesrpgs.smallbird.social for one of her Original Valor Adventures. This was an absolute joy to work on (especially getting to work with @butterflylatte.bsky.social 's designs)
Curious? Check out Talia's games here!

A commission featuring several characters from a magical girl spoof drawn in a style similar to that of sailor moon and other 90s anime. The titular Faye is posed front and center holding a crescent staff and dancing with Xander. Behind them are the heads of the other 4 core magical girls, and behind THEM are two Dryad characters with mirrored poses, representing the antagonists of this scenario. The title, Nightmare Rouser Faye, is at the top, with listed fake episodes "Say it with flowers" along the bottom. The image is framed with an ornate golden frame. It's all very 90s, very magical, very bright.

The sketch for this one is really funny idk why lol
a sketch of the image in the previous post. If you didn't know this was scathach and a lalafell, you probably couldn't guess that from this. The lalafell is an especially silly blob with eyes.

El’vanryda (Xarann's mother) and Scathach just chilling together.
Yes, his mother is a Lalafell, it's complicated. (it's not that complicated. She snatches bodies to be immortal.)

#MKart #FFXIVart
A sketch of Scathach from FFXIV with her arms crossed like she's leaning on some surface. She looks very bored. A lalafell with long white hair sits on one of her arms looking over her shoulder with a sinister little grin. For she is a sinister little creature.

Freelance art is my fulltime job now. I love OCs, I am inspired by the simple joy of making a thing in my head real. The part of art I love is movement and colour.
I'm also an indie game dev who hasn't had time to finish anything in years Lol Here are some of my OCs!! My beloved muses.
My oc, xarann, and erenville from ffxiv catching frogs together My viera, xarann, wearing techwear and posed against a neon background. My oc, mythril, dancing in a swirl of butterflies. My OC Tilly, a winter elf, blooming with flowers for the coming of spring.

A traditional drawing of my original character, Elle, done in copic acrea markers and several washi tape. She is wearing a dress with many layers and frills and a long, plaid jacket. There is an angel wing, as she's a Seraph.

Sometimes I log into Arknights and Deepcolor asks me to draw her in the colours of my soul. I don't know what colours those are, but green is my favourite, so here's a green Deepcolor, for her.

#MKart #Arknights #Art
A drawing of Deepcolor from Arknights. She's posed doing a little jump with her sketchbook pressed to her chest and her pencil in her other hand, a little army of octopus, hearts, and stars bursting from it. A tentacle wraps around the opposite side of the comp, making a heart shape overall. Her yellows and reds have been replaced with lime and green.

Erenville agreed to teach Xarann how to catch frogs after -much- insistence. He has many regrets.

Woke up with the need to draw this last week. Ended up going way harder on the background than I expected lol

#FFXIV #FFXIVart #MKart #Art
An illustration of my FFXIV character, Xarann, and Erenville catching frogs together in Raincatcher Gully. Erenville is holding a frog peacefully in both hands and looking over at his fellow Viera in disbelief has Xarann launches himself forward to catch a fleeing frog. It's moments before disaster, as Xarann is very clearly about to hit the water. Sunbeams warm the scene through the trees, creating a serene feeling despite the chaos happening below.

[WIP] this is part of a larger piece. Whatever is happening, Erenville feels many regrets for agreeing to come along.
A cropped section of an incomplete illustration. Erenville from ffxiv is looking at the viewer in disbelieve while holding a frog. The background is still sketchy and Erenville is unshared.

I dressed Mythril up as Nu-13 from Blazblue to make the least Halloween Halloween image ever heh But it was fun, so I don't care. The pose is referenced from one of her attack frames in game.

#OCsky #MKart #OCart #OriginalCharacter #Blazblue
An illustration of my OC, Mythril, dressed up a Nu-13 from the game BlazBlue. She is wearing a light blue body suit augmented with large robot legs, severnal robotic blades, and a face shield with a glowing red eye. The background is a series of blue rings with Nu-13's crest imposed lightly on top.

An illustration of 6 characters from the indie novel series, The Wonders of Mundas, by Talia B. The cast are all dressed up for Halloween as various characters from other media. Their costumes reflect their personalities with different skill levels for each, a touch I found particularly fun to do. The text at the center reads "Happy Halloween!"

Thanks for the share!!
I'm Maki, a digital artist and game dev who loves OCs way too much. Here's some of my art and OCs! Two of which are asexual too~
My fish girl OC mythril in a swimsuit jumping into the air over the water. My winter themed elf character, Tilly, casting a trail of snowy magic. My FFXIV viera, Xarann, cradling a star as it melts from the sky. My fish girl OC Mythril in a blue butterfly themed dress dancing.

Happy Ace Week!
Here's some ace characters from an aro/ace artist. 💚

#AceWeek #MKart #CANartist #Art #OCsky #OCart #OC #OriginalCharacter
A collab illustration with my friend ArmatageS of my original character, Mythril. Mythril is a fish girl with long green hair and blue fins and tail. She's leaping out of the water, her hand running through a wave splashing up with her. An illustration of my original character, an eladrin named Tilly. She's drawn here with her sleeves and hair slowly blooming from winter to spring. An illustration of my catboy OC, Ruebin. He's drawn here in a maid dress (not his usual outfit at all) and sitting on the floor. His fluffy hair, untied laces, and huge frown suggest he is not a good house maid. An illustration of my mouse girl OC, Marina. She's wearing bright yellow and blue clothes with leather armour with a huge grin on her face. she holding a grappling hook, the string curling around her artistically, but not practically.

We did add it to all of our product descriptions. I'll have to see if there's anywhere more noticeable we can put it. Since it is clearly easily missed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂🎆🌟
Here's some works from this year that I am very proud of~ Thanks for the chance to share them.
A fullbody illustration of an au ra dark knight from ffxiv, Sabre. She is shown holding her sword forward and stabbed in the ground while striding from an inky dark shadow in the shape of esteem. Her eyes stare forward and she's smiling with a fiery determination. My FFXIV character, Xarann, alongside my friends' characters, Thomas and Bobba Bee, fishing up the Nepto Dragon together in the rain. Thomas and Bobba Bee are shocked to see what sort of monstrosity they are reeling in, while Xarann is excited to finally catch it. An illustration featuring Madoka and Homura from Madoka Magica. Madoka is in her goddess form and lifting upwards, a hand reaching with minimal effort towards Homura. Her dress is billowing out against a matching starry background. Homura is below her, falling away and desperately reaching for Madoka's hand. Her braids are unravelling. The text "You are my Best Friend..." runs along the background panel of stars. An illustration of my fishgirl OC, Mythril, in her most fishy form leaping out of the water and turning mid air, ready to crash back down. She's dressed for summer in a stripped swimsuit in various colours, a rare smirk on her face as she's in her element! Her tail, hair, fins, and frills are following the movement of her pose, adding a lot of high energy and fun!
