And a couple doodles with my thoughts, in the end I specially see them in contrasts: my adult vs younger self, sapphic vs masc self, introversion vs extroversion etc. it’s sort of like the two sides of me in my head.

Funny enough, Nala is easier, but Hiku is easier/more recognizable drawn in BW

Little info about my sonas with Nala the bear at top left and Hiku the red panda at bottom right.

I’ve been wanting to draw my sonas together and introduce them for a bit and I got some time today! Nala is my proper sona, she’s the one of my icon, while Hiku was born as an OC and eventually became sort of a sona.
They are friends in my head even if I rarely draw them together!

Both Ashley and Elliot are pretty secondary characters, but I like them a lot still. I can also tell you the older siblings are pretty caring for the younger ones, these ones have a pretty good relation. It's also funny to me to say Elli and Ile because that's how I call them

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 19h

From main OCs, there's two that have siblings! The mains are Tesh (they/he) and Ilenne (she), at right, and then there's their little siblings at left - Ashley (she) and Elliot (he) :)

Don't mind me I only had these 5 y.o. sketches of them together from when I was figuring out the siblings designs

My OCs Ashley at left and Tesh and right. Ash has a low ponytail, glasses and two purple hair highlights, she's wearing a pink and grey hoodie. Tesh has some lightly matching vibe with a higher ponytail, a pink shirt and a black and grey hoodie.

My OCs Elliot, at left, and Ilenne, at right. Elliot has long brown hair, half tied on a bun, freckles, and is wearing a brown apron on a white shirt and green vest. He has a wooden leg. Ilenne has white hair, and blue, white and brown clothes along a dark brown cape.

Savon's weapon is flamberge, when it hits, it leaves awful lacerations. Due to that, Savon often perceived as a dangerous swordsman, even though he is a pacifist and uses his sword only in folk dances.

This duality is intentional and i love it so much!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 1d

and I personally have more fun with something like that than a monochromatic drawing. I hope you enjoy this version this year <3

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 1d

NICE! I think I also did 2 or maybe 3 but I'm not sure, I've been doing more consistently one in October so I'm usually too tired for huevember but I really love it <3 and honestly, even tho I didn't use that template, it's pretty much what I did on the one I shared :) it's very fun to do!

Brain is so much chaos I should make a schedule to share things on sites, because otherwise I'm starting to see my routine is offer commissions, work on them, and prepare cold mails...that said, I will try to share today the 3rd linocut!

Working on a pixel commission because again, doing 20 things at the same time, and I think this one can turn out really cool, commissioner wanted to order some neon city background with two furry OCs and man, I love colors

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 3d

I've been trying to make some sense in my head about how to introduce my OCs in a non-chaotic way and somehow thought about making a visual map of relations...but it's looking like this so far and it's only for one of my main story OCs oopsies.
I might make smaller maps but this is being funny

The next linocut will be for one of my favorite all time games :]c as a clue I can say it has an animal main character

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 4d

First and second linocut for this month's challenge. I'm doing fanart this year and we got Spiritfarer and...if you know the symbol, you know! If you don't please don't search for it because you will get spoiled for a very cool game

#linocut #linoctober #graboctubre

Linocut bases and the final printed pieces for a kitty with an orb and a symbol that looks a mix of a star and a circle with many rays.

I got the next tiny linocut ready from the month challenge but I dislike taking photos of traditional art at night because I have bad lightning so I hope to show it tomorrow.

It was a simple symbol but it was a good practice for thin lines and being careful!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks a lot! I really wanted to challenge myself doing this traditional :) and I love drawing compositions for many characters, it's so fun even if hard!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 6d

Also finishing Silksong means that maybe, hopefully, probably, I will have my brain delivered back to me, which means I will be able to do something else other than play the game non-stop when I'm not working!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 6d

I feel like I need to specify I drew this *before* game release which means I did this based on 2 screenshots taken from the trailer...now that I finished the game I might draw something with what I've seen so far.

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · Aug 25

It's finally time to

#Silksong #HollowKnight #Hornet

Fanart of the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, based on the latest trailer. Background looks like a mostly flat/poster-like city with buildings, gaps, arrows on the ceilings, a couple floating platforms and chains hanging down. There's a couple enemy creatures: one flies, the other has a sword. Hornet stands tall above everything else and a text is above her: "Ascend" in reference to both this game being about ascending the place, and to HK with the "Ascend" from the pantheons and DLC.
