To continue the battle nun series of #pixelart, here's Sister Jonoa of @rldartsofficial.bsky.social, depicted as fighting cleric in Battlemallet Fantasy.
Something I promised to make long ago, thank you for this opportunity and hope you like it.

Me: Okay, I ask you again. DON'T overdo the next #pixelart of a character she has no dialogue, she doesn't play any important role in #rpgmaker game, no need to spend too much time on her
Also me three weeks later, close to loosing my mind: Are you even listening to me?!

Comm from a few weeks ago for @7StarSoul. Thank you so much for the commision!!💕

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

At least I am better at using those notes in my DnD setting I GM or play as characters.

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

By the time the second RWBY season came the answer was obvious, Harold’s tribe is an easy to scapegoat and paint as a devil for convenience.

Sometimes it was subtle but most of the times it was obvious and nail bashing, I am not good at hiding those themes under anime-esque adventure comedy

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

Then years later came the heavy grimdark stuff like, what is the culture of the main character like..? If the whole tribe can talk and command animals, can they do the same with mythical creatures? And what about werevolves and beastmen? And what about men? Do they count as bald apes?

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

The idea was to write a week of them adventuring together and adding extra vignettes that could add extra information about the characters like Harold being a street urchin who was adopted by the same man whom he tried to pickpocket.

I believe I wrote like 3 and a half days out of 7

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

But before that in 2005, I had a guy and his talking raven.
Harold T. Trend and Irving Trend (the bird claimed to be Harold’s ancestor spirit to get stuck in a birds body.

Who stumbled upon on a traveling merchant whose wagon got stuck in the mud… and dire wolves were close.

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

So, it made me think, what if those marks were not unique to certain families or clans for the sake of elitism but the whole tribe could do it?

That’s how the tribe of Nor’yen came to be that my boy belonged to.

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

Granted there was some inspiration from DnD, namely the Eberron setting.
I really liked the idea of Dragonmark a gifts from divine dragons to a family that improved the certain skills and gave spells that complemented that skill.
Namely, the mark of handling.

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

Back then idea was simple, inspired by things I watched in 80’s and 90’s…

A guy who walks the world (or two), can speak to animals and each new episode gets a new job.

No super-sayans, no zen vampires, no tranquil half-demons / werewolves. I hated that stuff back then and still do

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 16d

Huh… I just realized…

That I have a small anniversary this year on my hands…

Turns out it’s been 20 years since I started writing stories about my main OC xD
None of them finished and all of them are in deep drawer, mind you.

I was always bad at writing endings xD

If you see this, post a girl with glasses 👓

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 25d

Thank you. Spent too much time on concept than necessary

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · 25d

Me: Okay. This next character #pixelart bust has no plot revelance or anyone important, no need to go hard on her. Her design is nothing to write home about.
Also me three weeks later: Goddamn it!

Comm for @RazorLewdshiba, thank you so much for commissioning!!❤️

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Sep 5

Sometimes I get requests to make #pixelart based on existing characters and concepts, like this one, suggested by @shaybabensfw.bsky.social
The idea was to swap the sci-fi elements that assosiated with this character for fantasy or rather tropical fantasy.
Think I managed to pull it of.
HYLI.

Just something small I do in mspaint when I am hit with the right mood

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 26

Though sometimes the inspiration goes out of hand and a #pixels piece resembles something that I was unaware of, a little too late.
Too late infact that I don't feel like change anything and let it resemble the initial design...

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 26

I do tend to use characters from old, retro or just forgotten games as inspiration for #pixelart and my #pixel to appear in #rpgmaker game
I do hope that this way I give some respect and remember that good old titles deserve
This one is a fusion of two characters of ps2 era
Hope you like it

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 10

Another one into series of cool #pixel drip.
When you put too much effort and time into not even the secondary, but nameless and textless character in the crowd...
Guess I'll have to give him some role now...

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 9

Glad you like it x3

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 9

A small something I did for @shaybabensfw.bsky.social
a character of theirs named Hope, depicted with #pixel alongside a model of her in a faux-jrpg style
Hope you like it...

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 5

Thank you...
I'll admit, I find good references

Kirie @lirkatrend.bsky.social · Aug 5

Back in June I promised to make a sister of a cougar, a sexy #pixel of gilf...
Finally finished her after my PC crashed and I had to restore the files by searching the W.I.P.s on discord, drive-google and mega files
