Still needs some work.

Work in progress versions, I have an updated one that I’ll save in a different post. The first short one is still my favorite, probably because everything else is designed around it.

Newest addition so the most roughest. Wanted this one to be the odd one.

Had to head out, but I had this idea I wanted to doodle.

I had other variants, but I’ll get around to them later.

Working on his glow up.

I went back to see what I liked about the one-off drawings of it. I wanted to do some studies to lock in what I want from these to finalize it. Still working on it.

I thought up this working idea yesterday for him.

I collected his many heads.

I need to lock down a proper reference for his head. It’s so inconsistent.

Revisiting Scarljin’s first design as her younger self.

Channeling the Angel’s Egg influences for this one.

Just to give an idea of where it started.

It feels unreal this was from 2018, that felt not too long ago.

I lost count how many times I’ve edited this since its first version.

I was editing this to get it up to date. Was doing some experimenting to help with the finalized look for this outfit, and I think I’m getting close. I was doing a little visdev on the side for a short comic involving her and Saeven, as a little personal project.

Had this idea recently.

I was thinking maybe bipedal bug people was a bit overdone, so in the effort of not looking like a hack I had this idea for a redesign. However, I would be eliminating the Therapholc entirely in the process.

Little notes I made for myself for her when redrawing this.

I wanted to tweak her design a little bit more and made some notes for later.

Had this split skirt idea earlier. Might make it an alternate outfit?

Silberisk: Witch of Soul (Concepts)

#WOB

Full body images of Silberisk. Still need to finalize feet.

A diagram of how the bindings on Silberisk's hat are positioned. Her next to a soul in a shell with heights. Her in an alternate outfit.

Some rough ideas I had for different types of souls that serve under her. How they look probably reflect on how they were alive as a person, and are designated in certain categories. I also want to bring back the left eye mouth thing including why it's like that.

This is a redraw of a really old thing I made for someone. The character is a swamp witch named Hazel who’s from @proxicute.bsky.social.

Decided to do more with it. I’m trying to figure out how to do the background. I didn’t need to, but I wanted to.

I was feeling a little unsure about my art as of late, so I made this little comparison with how much I've changed.

While I was looking through my files, I saw old art of Thelycos’ mom, Ctethidos. So I doodled her to see how different I’d draw her now. I ended up being unsatisfied, so redesigned her. I’m still designing Therapholc physiology, so I thought this would be a fun exercise. Will polish up.
