Hiya! Call me Cryptid or Tiger, I'm an artist and sometimes writer who loves character design and worldbuilding! Expect mainly queer fantasy OC stuff from me with some other variety thrown in there

A shaded digital illustration of CryptidTiger's OCs on a picnic date by a large tree, which separates them. On the left side is a tiefling woman named Kihdavora, who holds a picnic basket. On the right side of the tree, her half-elf wife Gaeri is walking over tree roots to meet her. The shading on both girls and the background showcases the light peeking through the tree's leaves. The tree is covered in moss, and in a large hole on the left a worm is hiding. A blue butterfly rests on the right side of the tree near Gaeri. In the background, a slightly mossy half-wall made of cobblestone and iron spikes separates the women from the graveyard. Beyond the graveyard is the other side of the fence and a large wall that borders the town. The sky is cloudy as if rain is coming. CryptidTiger's username is carved into the tree bark. A shaded digital painting of CryptidTiger's OC Cerise as a DJ. Cerise has pink hair with ends that blend into red. There are big puffy ponytail extensions in instead of her usual drills. She wears a black sports top or bra with a blue band on the bottom, and matching high-waisted shorts. She also wears a pink super crop top jacket that has yellow stars on the arms and above the breast cutout, with the latter having a simplified rainbow trail behind it. She is holding her headphones on with one hand while spinning a record with the other. She is standing behind DJ turntables in a club or rave setting. There are multi-colored lights over her with fog around them, as well as metal lighting truss (towers). There is also fog creeping around her DJ booth. Cerise has a wink and a big smile on her face. A digital painting of a tall grass field at night, under the full moon. An anthropomorphic black cat with a pumpkin on their head and a bandage on their tail is prancing on their hind legs through the field.

If you suffer from doomscrolling like I sometimes do, sometimes you really do need to prescribe yourself a healthy dose of "go touch grass"

I've limited my social media use since late '24 and it's one of the few things that's kept me sane. But don't isolate, find local friends/groups, a hobby, etc.

small recycled cardboard from a toy package used for rebellion art 😤
mixed media, acrylic , glow paint and inkpen, a block of ice melting that says MELT ICE the cardboard is a gradient from red to yellow, the text is not painted so it shows the gradient of cardboard same image but before the white paint added, this is just the colorful ink pen

Times like now, I think its really important not to isolate yourself. Not just like "oh go out an organize locally", that IS important, but also just check in with your bois. Find whatever joy you can scrape together with your crew. Have a little potluck, play some board games, call your friends.

It’s been pretty cold and snowy for a lot of people lately, so here‘s some snowy art from a couple years ago… and a rare time I did sorta lineless/sorta lines with paint instead of pens or pencils.

Stop using the tools of the enemy. Please, please, please use my protest animals as icons, headers, banners whatever you want to show your solidarity. I have thrown these pieces out there for people to use, partly to give them something to use from an actual human artist.
I give you permission.

Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. 😬

To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

A Smilodon for the ice age. Protect your neighbors. #pleistocene #sabertooth #megafauna #iceage
The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.

haunted
A sketchy yet shaded illustration / sketch of a dark-skinned woman with blind eyes and long wavy hair tied loosely into a braided bun, several free locks flowing downards across her back. She looks to the camera with a blank and almost haunted gaze, eyes wide and heavy. Her expression is equally blank, hands held together tightly in quiet prayer with a single chain connecting them together. She wears a simple, white robe, and is decorated in almost spider-like jewelery. A single golden tear runs down her cheek. She is a Pathfinder 2nd Edition / PF2E Oracle of... lore? Fate, really- she's an NPC, so she doesn't neccesarily have a 'canon' class.
