we can't stop him
a large brown Chinese mantis's profile viewed from the side as he looks past the camera, but his pseudo pupils give the illusion he is staring to the right. The mantis is indoors.

a pencil sketch on paper of a fluffy primitive-looking horse with raised ears, a short mane, and striped neck. a pencil sketch of an equid with bovid-like features viewed from the side in the midst of a gallop.

A digital illustration of a dark gray and striped griffon with a lighter underbelly. His head is tipped upright and to the right with a five-pointed crown over him as he sits atop a pillar with his wings open at his sides. several other pairs of feathered wings fan out from behind him in light-to-darkening shades of tan. an orange sun sits behind the main griffon while four small, distant griffons fly in a circular pattern behind his head. The background is wheat-gold with a loopy filigree decoration in each corner.

Finally got around to making a post about this on Kofi-- just about everything I've needed to explain is on here (and this doesnt even cover that I've had car bills to cover too ;w;) but any and all help would be appreciated...!

my evils [aug-jan 2022-23]
#sketch #thebindingofisaac
a digital and colored sketch of Azazel from The Binding Of Isaac's head on a red background. he is glaring, facing forwards, and is interpreted with more a goat-like face. a digital, rougher sketch of Apollyon from TBOI with a more gargoyle-like appearance. heavy purple shadows rest over his left side as his Void floats between his claws raised open in front of himself. two digital sketches, on the left is the Incubus from TBOI being grasped like an ice cream cone by Lilith's hand. on the right is drawn as a pulled back view showing more than just her arm. Lilith, too, is more goat-like and has long silky fur and continues to hold Incubus.

A digital sketch flatly colored in solid brown of an anthropomorphic winged horse in a tank top and leggings with short forward-facing horns, a long toothy mouth, a lion tail, and claws for hands sitting hunched on a blank background with a blank expression.

a grayscale digital illustration of a large griffon crouched in darkness, holding all four of its feathered wings close. it stares head-on at the viewer with gleaming white eyes. at its claws lies the upside-down skull of a unicorn.

Restraint

#art #horses #originalart
A digital painting of a horse's head, primarily using dark blues with teal highlights. the horse throws its head up, eyes whaling, as it pulls against a bridle bit in its mouth and martingale attached to the bridle. the rein is pulled tight. a white bolt of lightning tears diagonally across the background behind the horse's face.

The Mage
#art #unicorn #illustration #fantasy
A digital painting comprised primarily by heavy shades of navy and midnight-purples with white and gold highlights, where a bearded unicorn stands, chest facing the left, at the edge of an ocean with her neck curved to face the right. a moth clings to the side of her horn, the moon hangs in the sky beside them. only a few stars shine in the darkness, and the moon casts a warped reflection on distant waves.
