So much fun to paint, thank you!

A painting of a half-orc woman with light green skin. She is to the right side of the image, with her hair in a braided bun. She wears a light blue dress and appears to be crying. To the left of the image is a nightjar in motion, and the text “Oh unbearable memories. I long for you still.” A half-orc woman with light green skin stands tall, holding kali sticks in both hands. Her hair is tied back in a leather tie, and she wears a priestly scapular cloth over leather fantasy armor. She is dressed modestly, but in a way to allow movement. The color scheme of her clothing is shades of brown and black.

Silly doodle from the Shadowdark pbp I'm in. The Dwarf of our party got grabbed by a fucked up shark, and all I could picture was a sticky hand
#ttrpg #shadowdark
A sketchy ilustration of a shark with a sticky hand coming from its mouth. The sticky hand is wrapped around a curled up figure, both are in a cave.

More Ivara, trying a new rendering style❤️‍🔥
A green-skinned half-orc woman is holding a short staff under her right arm as if running drills with it. She is in a sunny courtyard, and wearing some kind of monastic robes with pants.

Okay. More Ivara for now. Gonna add more details to this depending on how long she survives in-campaign.
Very excited for this horror game

New oc time! This is Ivara, my half-orc Priest for a Shadowdark game. We'll see how long she lasts.... 😈
(One reference image contains a mostly-nude body)
Three versions of the same half-orc woman stand in a line, labeled "Casual," "Reg. Robes," and "Travel/Winter Robes." From left to right, she wears a belted tunic with breeches and boots, a belted religious frock and scapular, and a cold-weather hooded robe. Each image has her two daggers at her hips.

Finished this series of paintings that have vaguely to do with some NPCs in my campaign. The nudity = expression of vulnerability during the time they were in an adventuring party, and the varying levels of control they had in those moments.
A brown-skinned person with vitiligo patches on her face, hands, and lower back is curled over. They have coily brown hair, and their visible eye glows with green light. In the background is a gold-framed picture of a beach. A green-skinned human-orc woman viewed from a side profile has her head cradled by faintly glowing pale green hands. Her eyes are closed and she is in a pool of blood, with blood on her skin. The length of her hair is unknown because most of it is submerged. Gold light shines from behind her. A green-skinned human-orc person floats in water, exhaling air bubbles. He is nude with a long braid of hair that's unraveling, and various tattoos on his arms, chest, and legs. The water around her is endless and she is framed by two outlines of pillars of gold scales. A dark-skinned woman faces the viewer with one eye opened and a finger held up in a shushing gesture. Her hair is coily in texture and put back in a low pony tail; her open eye is bright yellow with a slit pupil. A blue mask of her face is positioned to the right of her own, its eyes both closed. The mask casts a teal light on her. In the background is a sunset that has turned the ocean and sky red. She is framed by lightning patterns.

I do have commissions open currently btw! Here are so examples of recent work I've done, more are on my ko-fi under the commissions tab
ko-fi.com/vileheartdes...
A woman with long braided hair in a button up and jeans stands in the foreground of the image. Mid-ground another person poses, balancing on one foot. The other person is wearing a skirt and cropped tshirt. Both are posed to create an optical illusion of one being dangled in the air by the other. In the background is a big white building. A woman in a cut-off tshirt and jeans holds a .30/.30 rifle up to take aim. She is in the forest, where the sun dapples her skin through the trees around her. Six small portraits of characters are arranged in two rows of three. A green-skinned person with dark blue wings holds a piece of fabric out and makes a face of disgust. She is in what looks like a parking garage during sunset and wears a mesh shirt, jeans, and wedge heels in a y2k fashion. His tail curls around his legs.

Slowly getting familiar with CSP. A work in progress that I've yet to finish, unnamed d&d mystery NPC
A figure stands at the top of a hill, surrounded by trees. Their face is covered by a teal, beetle-like mask. They wear a cloak and hood, but their arms are exposed.

Team crystals on artfight this year, yippee
Artfight card for Team Crystals, with handwritten text that lists the user as 'CornsilkLesbian', attacks as 'Anything that catches my eye! ;)' and checks off both friendly fire and revenge. There are five featured characters that are human, and handwritten in parenthesis is 'I have 23 total btw' and 'Pls draw any that you like'. Under the characters had, 'humans' is circled, and 'other' lists the following: 'tabaxi, homebrew species, animal chimera/gods'.

New art of Desislava, d&d version. This has some vague relation to her background as an npc pre-campaign (and pre-tattoos).
Ily semi-realism🫶
(Content under here is blood, mild nudity, and some eye strain)
Semi-realistic art of Desislava, a human-orc dungeons and dragons character being suspended from a pool of red liquid by pale green hands. She is nude, but pictured from the chest up.

Recent fun little piece of Desislava and Imogene being silly while I try to familiarize myself with this simpler style
Desislava and Imogene stand in a field of grass by a building. Desislava is closer to the foreground, pretending to hold Imogene in the air with one hand. Further back, Imogene pretends to dangle from Desislav's hand.

First handful of artfight icons. Imogene, Ekene, Deirdre, and Desislava.

All in the 200×200 pixel size for artfight thumbnails.
Portrait of a light skinned person with her head tilted to the left while she looks to the right. She wears a brown cutoff shirt, and her hair is in a low bun. There is a question mark beside her. Portrait of a person rolling their eyes, smirking. They have curly light brown hair, and vitiligo over their nose, lips, and forehead. They are wearing a gray-brown shirt that buttons at the neck. Portrait of a brown skinned woman positioned to face the right, but she looks at the viewer instead of away. Her mouth is open in feigned shock, with a hand up to almost cover it. She has her hair styled in cornrows, yellow eyes, and wears a gray tshirt. There is an exclamation point beside her. Portrait of a light brown skinned woman facing left, looking over her shoulder at the viewer. She is pointing with one hand, and part of an orange shirt sleeve is visible. Her hair is long and wavy like she's just taken it out of a braid. Her ears are pointed, she has a silver septum ring, and a faded facial scar crossing her forehead. An ellipsis is beside her.

I think I cracked the code on simplifying my style (featuring E.V. from @faeriesomnium.bsky.social and October from @flashpointcomix.bsky.social + a horse and an npc)

Scenes are from the d&d campaign I run, set in the 90s in an Indigenous-futurist reality. I hope I got horse body language right 😅
E.V., a blue-skinned lightning genasi woman feeds a gray and white horse a fruit rollup. Both are in the stallhouse, and E.V. has lichtenburg figure scars, wears loose clothing, and has her hair in two low buns. October, a tiefling man, stands with an aaracokra person in front of a town map. The two appear to be in conversation, with October standing awkwardly. October has dark pink skin, maroon hair, and wears all black. The aaracokra has gray feathers and wears a green sweater, khakis, and a medallion beaded in purple, blue, orange, and white.

She is pullimg at her mouth to show her teeth and looking right at the viewer. She has vine tattoos on her shoulders, and four-pointed star patterns tattooed on her fingers.

Current wip is redoing all of my character reference sheets. This is Desislava's, almost finished, showing 18 and 24 respectively.
Tried to do tattoos that are inspired by the common geometric look to a lot of ndn tattoos, but idk if the patterns are directly from any one culture
A drawing of a woman's front and back side. She has a blunt bob haircut, and wears a tanktop, shorts, and a prosthetic leg on her left side. She has geometric willow vine tattoos wrapping her arms, with a similar style of cedar sprig on her biceps and palms. A drawing of a young woman with two long braids, wearing a ribbon shirt, slacks, and black boots. It is done in the style of the last drawing in this post, showing the front and back of her.

Want to post more art. Am artblocked. So here's a couple-month-old painting of Desislava in her room. Just some downtime after book 1.
(Please forgive the handling of the drumstick. By the time I realized it was held wrong, I was too far into the painting 😫)
A young woman wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, and a green bandana, sits in a corner playing a hand-held drum. One of her pant legs is pinned up over her residual limb. Next to her is an open window and a red wheelchair. Behind her is a yellow pillow to cushion against the wall.
