My desert fan clan, the Setkxa'hawì ! Please be kind, they are my little project 💙

[ #Avatar #avatar2009 #navi #naviclan #navifanclan #avatarfanclan #frontiersofpandora #atwow #characterdesign ]
A reference sheet shows three annotated artworks of a Na'vi fan clan. On the left, there are two full-body examples of adult Na'vi, nude but drawn in a "barbie doll" style. On the right, there is a bust, showing in more detail a braided hairstyle and facial markings. All three artworks depict blue skinned people with darker blue stripes across their bodies. They have large, dark eyes, and rounded ears that sit high on their heads. On the two full-body illustrations, you can see that they have long tails as well. Another reference image depicts cultural wear of this Na'vi fan clan. Three different Na'vi stand in varied poses, showing their clothing. They all wear colorful central garments with a lot of embroidery overtop black undergarments. The middle figure also wears a blue skirt-like loincloth. They all have jewelry and dangley charms, showing similarities between individuals.

A Bird of Many Names 💜

Magpie for @systemreset.bsky.social 's birthday!
[ #vtm #vtmoc #vampirethemasquerade #nosferatu #nosferatuvtm #vampire #vampireboy #decocard #idolcard ]
A playing card sized artwork shows a young man leaning on his hand, looking up to the viewer's left. Magpie, the character drawn, has pale, beige tan skin, with odd features. He has large, bug-like eyes with tiny irises, long pointed ears, and many crooked fangs. Instead of a nose, a jumbled mess of scar tissue occupies the middle of his face. His arms are long, bending in places they shouldn't, and his fingers are tipped with dark claws. Despite his monstrous appearance, he wears cheery yellow and purple eyeshadow, and appears to be in a good mood. Magpie's hair, a black wig, is pinned back by two pink clips,and decorated with heart and star charms. For a top, he wears a white ribbed shirt with pale purple sleeves over a long-sleeved orange shirt. The purple sleeves of his overshirt have a large design of three pomegranates, in varying states of wholeness. The background of the illustration is colored dark, nearly black blue. Behind Magpie himself is a purple circle with a yellow-orange star that blooms out from behind his head. Finally, from the upper right side, swirling lines in black and deep blue cross over the frame, going down towards the bottom left. The back of previous illustration is colored itself. It is half a pale orange, and half white. Over top of that all is a set of golden circles, with rays that go out to the left. On the side, the words "A Bird of Many Names" are written.

A cropped close-up up of the next image. It shows a colored illustration of an incredibly pale man with rosy blushing. He stands straight, his hands tucked into the pockets of his cropped black jacket. The man has fluffy bleached hair, pale blue grey eyes, and burgundy dyed tips. He also wears a pale structured shirt with a high collar and light silvery grey pants which are quite tight fitting. A colored illustration of an incredibly pale man with rosy blushing.

Two people pose for a selfie together, smiling and looking into the camera. They're both white, and have matching makeup looks. The taller wears a bandana and a white shirt, curving lines drawn coming out from it's leftmost eye. The shorter wears a black shirt over a striped black and white long-sleeve. He throws a peace sign up, and has the same makeup curving down from his rightmost eye. Pinks, purples, blues, and greens cover that cheek, dark swirling lines drawn overtop.

A colored illustration depicts a pale, minty skinned person standing straight, with one arm elevated. He looks to the viewer, eyes a bright yellow. Various markings in burgundy and yellow dot their body, creating lines and small circles. Choppily cut dark teal hair falls over her shoulders, with short bangs hanging over their forehead. Notably, fangs portude from their cheeks, and grow from their abdomen, attached to flush flaps of skin.

In this version, he is clothed, a paper doll-like form overlayed on top of the base artwork. He wears a golden yellow top underneath a leather and deep blue jacket. For pants, they wear a tight green-grey pair, with leather leg guards fastened over top. Her shoes are a warm brown, tucked neatly under their pants. On their neck, a chunky silver necklace sits, with a large open eye charm. A cropped, close up of the last picture, focusing on the character's face.

An uncolored halfbody illustration depicts a monstrous looking young man holding his hand up to his mouth. He looks off to the viewer's left, exclaiming, "Oh shit!" Notably, this man has long pointed ears, bulging eyes, and a torn to shreds nose with only a single bandaid covering what's left. His teeth are pointed and uneven and he has an incredibly boney structure. His shoulders jut out and his arm, wrapped in bandages, is angular. Long pointed nails grow from the tips of his fingers, obscuring his jaw some.

Two men embrace each other with the man in the front holding his partner's shoulder. They both have soft expressions, lips slightly parted. Two men leaning towards each other, noses overlapping as they go for a kiss. The man on the left closes his eyes, whist the other peeks at him. Two people lean on something, reclining. The figure on top lays on the other's chest, holding his arm as the man cradles them. Three people lay, the illustration looking straight down at them. They all smile, looking mid conversation.

[ #navi #avatar #frontiersofpandora #avatar2009 #atwow #avatarthewayofwater #navioc #avataroc #sketch ]
A sketched bust of a Na'vi (alien from the 2009 Avatar movie) man. He has a prominent scar over the left side of his lip. Additionally. He has wavy scars on that cheek and down on that side of his neck. His hair is braided back, with one long braid hanging over his left ear. A sketched full-body artwork of a Na'vi person.

Additionally, they wear a cummerbund under a one shouldered top, and a woven loincloth. Three lightly sketched Na'vi in different poses. The leftmost one stands straight, looking forward, their right arm lifted up and out. The middle figure leans on their right leg, other foot pointed, and one arm raised. The final figure, on the right, also stands straight, though their arms are down. All three have elongated tails, which wave behind them. A lightly sketched bust of a Na'vi woman. She looks to the viewer, her eyes large and ears larger. Her hair is braided into a myriad of small braids, two of which cross over her forehead, and another two each laying in front of both ear.

Familiar Comforts ✨️

[ #dnd #shibari #ropeart #dragonborn #dungeonsanddragons ]
A fully rendered illustration depicts a blue-skinned woman being held aloft by burgundy rope. Her knees are bent, one forced up to rest against her side, and her arms are obscured behind her back. Notably, she has horns, a ridged face and neck, frilled ears, and little feelers on her chin. Her hair, a darker shade of blue than the rest of her, is pulled back away from her face. She rests, eyes closed peacefully and lips parted slightly, seemingly comfortable in her binds. Next to her, pairs of golden stars float in the space. A butter yellow circle makes a frame of sorts behind her.

A blank white image with the words, "Art at the beginning of Covid," typed out in black. A sketchy illustration of the character Link from Legend of Zelda. He's looking off to the viewer's left, smiling wide as he asks, "Fish?" in American sign language. Link is a character with choppy hair, pointed elf ears, and wide eyes.

[ #jedi #jediknight #starwars #jediorder #maytheforcebewithyou #starwarsfanart ]
A colored illustration referenced off of a Luke Skywalker figure depicts a jedi in a dark cloak stepping forward, his green lightsaber engaged and at the ready. The hood of his cloak covers the man's eyes, leaving only his nose and mouth visible. He has a short mustache and beard. Interestingly, his under cloaks are shades of brown, as is classic attire for a jedi. Green light reflects onto both his cloak and his grey pants on the left side from his lightsaber. It also covers the ground he walks on in green light. Two pairs of silver four pointed stars float in the space around him.

She also does a shoulder cape of sorts, which curves delicately over her upper arms, as well as a sheer half skirt attached to a white belt at her waist. Her legs are uncovered, exposing a mushroom shelf growing off of her right thigh. Pairs of four pointed stars and tiny spore motes float in the air around her.

Feel free to reach out for inquiries

[ #commissions #commsopen #commissioninfo #dnd #furry #furryartist #ocsky #originalcharacterart ]
A chibi illustration of me in the Animal Crossing style waves at the viewer. I'm pale skinned, with intense blushing on my cheeks as I smile wide with my eyes closed. My hair is curly, a rich brown in color, with two small braids scattered about. I've got pointed ears and a little tail that has a tuft of brown fur on it's end. Finally, my avatar wears a blue denim jacket over a warm grey sweater. A white collar peeks out over the jacket, and a yellow heart pin rests over my right side chest. For bottoms, I don striped yellow pants, and little blue shoes with dark grey socks. The image reads, "Commissions are Open" with stylized stars. There's also a note that reads, "Swipe for Info and Prices" with an arrow pointing to the viewer's right. A detailed commission sheet lists out the prices for either a sketch or colored commission. They're broken up into headshots, half bodies, or full bodies. There's also an area detailing what I will and won't draw. The sketch example is an athletic looking person with pointed ears and two prosthetic limbs. They have curling hair and wear night clothes - simple short underwear and a lace trimmed top. The colored example depicts Sypha Belnades from the series Castlevania. She is a pale skinned woman with strawberry blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She wears a blue halter top and white waist sash over dark grey underclothing. Among this underclothing is a sleeveless turtleneck, bicep length gloves, baggy pants, and a skirt with a long slit up the right side. On her feet she does light grey strappy boots that have been stained brown in areas. A detailed commission sheet lists out the prices for sketch commissions of furry/anthro characters. It's broken up into headshots, half bodies, or full bodies. The prices are slightly upped from my other commission page, with a note detailing how I find the designs often a tad more complex. The sketch being cut up into sections is an anthropomorphized Doberman character! He smiles, looking to the veiwer with a peace sign thrown up. He wears a simple outfit, a long-sleeved shirt, and belted high-rise pants that are rolled up onto his calves. The smaller full body example sketch is of a nude figure. An anthropomorphized dog character with a square face and short cropped ears. He stands, looking to the viewer's left. Across his chest is a jagged scar from transmasculine top surgery. A small nub tail peeks out from behind him. The final commission page, detailing some requirements and expectations.
