#fantasyart #dndart
A muscular gray and white werewolf, Rev, crouches near a stream in a forest, looking down in wonder at his reflection. He feels his mane with a glowing paw, the other holding onto a scarf on the verge of being blown away. 3 spell scrolls whip around him, their runes still glowing - one of them depicts a simply drawn wolf with a d20 rune underneath. Faint blue magic trails off of Rev's body and from the scrolls. A gigantic green eastern dragon winds around a sunlit mountain. The dragon's horns and fur along its back integrate trees, which meld into the mountain's base. Other mountains are strewn in mist in the background. A lithe, serpentine dragon taur perches with his two front legs on one of the branches protruding from the massive tree in the background. One of his back legs dangles in the air as he holds onto a hanging branch with the other talon, his long tail looped loosely around it as well. The humanoid half of his body is a light teal compared to the rest of his dark blue body. He looks up at a hanging crystal egg, gently holding out his hands as if about to touch it. A mysterious black rabbit in a long coat with metallic trim sits on an old tree stump, playing a flute that emits a ghostly trail. He has a large collar of white fur, and limbs that seem half metal and doll-like. He sits in a misty, spooky forest, a light in the distance framing his form. There are spectral rats that heed the flute's call throughout the painting.

"Werebeast Woes"

Commission for Newie! Stepping away from the rest of their party, Agatha vents about the frustrating expectations and difficulties of being a wererat, while werewolf Rev lends a sympathetic ear.

#art #dndart #fantasyart #furryart #werewolf
The scenery is a bright autumn day with the foliage beginning to change on the mountains in the far background. Up the grassy hill, a sign with a tankard indicates that the white building is an inn or tavern. Agatha, a white wererat with amber hair, sits on a stone wall. She wears a red tunic with a golden rat emblem. She is gesturing in an exasperated manner as she vents to Rev, a huge gray and white werewolf leaning against the wall next to her. He wears a shredded jacket that's way too small for his frame and a long blue scarf. He tilts his head and ears towards Agatha as he listens intently.

"Magic Dancer Fozu"

YCH sketch commission for @fozu.bsky.social! I had fun with the soft shading for this one.

#art #furryart #dragon
A black and blue anthropomorphic eastern dragon with glowing white hair poses twirling in mid-air. There is a ribbon of colorful magic swirling from his open right palm and curling down his whole body. He swipes another trace of magic with his left hand where rainbow crystals also trace his arm.

"Mystral"

Commission for Mystral! I was asked to add some dragon horns for this portrait of them 🐲

#art #furryart #tiger #wolf
A portrait of a wolf/tiger/dragon hybrid posed in front of a lit blue background. They smirk as they look slyly towards the viewer. Their anatomy is that of a wolf's but with a tiger's coloration. They have a large spiky mane of fur and a pair of black dragon horns.

"Muriel"

Portrait commission for Newie! The character is inspired by Hemingway and his beloved polydactyl cats.

#art #furryart #cat
A portrait of an anthropomorphic white cat standing in front of a tropical background. She wears a white dress shirt rolled up to the elbows and a black vest. She smiles and extends her hand invitingly towards the viewer, holding up a cocktail glass in the other. As is typical with polydactyl cats, she has six fingers on each hand.

"Magic Weaver Scarlett"

YCH commission for Scarlett! They requested seductive type magic and I had fun adding the little hearts 🤭

#art #furryart #fox
A red, white, and black anthropomorphic fox smiles down at the viewer, posing with arms stretched in opposite directions. Wispy purple smoke forms from her left palm and it swirls in front of her, coiling loosing around her right arm, and arching towards her right hand. There are little glowing hearts emanating along the magic's path.

"Ghost Flame"

Haven't drawn Akiyo's human form in a while! The smoke trailing from his pipe is from a rare blend of herbs that, when burned with ghost fire, has a calming effect on nearby spirits.

#art #oc #sketch #fantasyart #kitsune
A sketch of a young man with arms crossed looking off to the side, as if noticing something in the distance. He has long white hair that's tied loosely into a ponytail at the top. He wears a loose tabard and has long black arm sleeves and high thigh boots. His upper body is humanoid and his legs end in digitigrade paws. His 3 tails curve pensively as the greenish blue ghost flame trails from his pipe. #kemonimimi

"Arcane Skyrender"

Skyrenders are a species of winged dragon-like cats. Sensitive to the environment, their forms change to reflect the strongest aspect of magic around them. Their favorite prey includes highland sheep and most dangerously, mages!

#art #fantasyart #furryart #tiger #dragon
A flock of winged felines fly over snow topped mountains, the setting sun casting the background in a soft orange glow. The skyrenders in the background are unaspected and their fur coloration looks similar to a tiger's (one of them holds a highland sheep in its jaws). The leading skyrender is arcane aspected, its fur a mixture of unnatural purples and blue, its stripes ending in strange swirls. It has curling arcane crystal horns jutting from its forehead, spikes protruding from its face and arms, and long crystal claws. Chitinous growths coat its paws and tail.

Some old art! Portrait for Solidus.

I actually ran into them at AC. They showed me their phone and I was touched that they still use this as their background 🥹

Hello #PortfolioDay 🎨

I'm a freelance illustrator who loves fantasy themes and creatures! Whether it's my own oc's or commission work, I enjoy exploring a character's background and story!

sleepingfoxart.com

#art #fantasyart #dndart
A white werewolf crouches in the snow and looks warily off to the side, cradling a floating blue crystal in one hand. The background is a somber forest in winter, trees with bare branches and with snow on their trunks as snow whips past. A surreal painting of a white and black lion running across a misty plane. They mirror each other's pose. The white lion has a golden glowing mane and tail. The black lion has a long flowing silver mane and tail. Light trails follow their front paws. The background is also split between night and day. An elf paladin with gold hair and metallic gold cracks across his face reverently holds up a coin to the sky. He is dressed in leather armor and chainmail, a black and gold balancing scale on the front of his tabard. A sword with a scale-like hilt and coin decoration is strapped to his back. Strewn about him in the grass background are a group of defeated bandits. He looks upwards towards where a divine light gently shines down on him, offering a bitten golden coin to his deity. A mysterious black rabbit in a long coat with metallic trim sits on an old tree stump, playing a flute that emits a ghostly trail. He has a large collar of white fur, and limbs that seem half metal and doll-like. He sits in a misty, spooky forest, a light in the distance framing his form. There are spectral rats that heed the flute's call throughout the painting.

"Keeper of the Grove"

Somewhere within the great tree, the Keeper scales the immense branches to check on the unhatched crystal eggs, wary for any sign of corruption. Commission for @z-rykari.bsky.social!

#art #fantasyart #dragon #taur
A lithe, serpentine dragon taur perches with his two front legs on one of the branches protruding from the massive tree in the background. One of his back legs dangles in the air as he holds onto a hanging branch with the other talon, his long tail looped loosely around it as well. The humanoid half of his body is a light teal compared to the rest of his dark blue body. He looks up at a hanging crystal egg, gently holding out his hands as if about to touch it.

btw for anyone who feels anxious/bad about commissioning the same characters, i want to remind you that it's the best thing for us artists. with each next piece, we will get undeniably better at drawing them. getting familiar with your oc is literally a win-win for both of us. lol

A stag charges down a fog covered path, the flame between his antlers illuminating the foliage around him. The stag has a wary expression, his ears perked forward.

FMK - rey dau, rathalos, zinogre
Illustration of Rey Dau from Monster Hunter with a really nicely drawn foot. Also not that it matters but I counted all the tail and back spikes to make sure it matched up to the actual guy. Illustration of Rathalos from Monster Hunter with extra care paid to the subsurface scattering on the wing patagium. Rathalos is my favorite creature design so he gets special big boy treatment. Illustration of Zinogre from Monster Hunter in fully charged state. When I first saw Zinogre 15 years ago I was not really into him. However seeing him go super saiyan and start breakdancing in game turned me around pretty quick.

"Champion Lei Ran"

Old art! Champion and protector of the Evergale Highlands, Lei Ran wards against rival tribes and dangerous wildlife like the Skyrenders.

#art #fantasyart
Lei Ran, an anthropomorphic blonde wolf warrior, stands on the incline of a vast highland. She's dressed in blue leather armor with a trailing fur lined sash and wears a carved wolf mask. Looking out into the distance, she holds a guandao at her side. A flock of sheep and yurts dot the far background.

"Lune's Bunny"

The simple joys of a crisp autumn day and a little bun on your back.

#art #animalart #fox #furryart
A steel blue, black, and cream colored fox happily looks up at the viewer, an orange rabbit nestled on his back. He might have been frolicking in the grass and autumn leaves moments before.
