i started drawing this weeks ago but gave up on it because i got halfway through and realized I didn't like how it looked and i wasnt confident i would be able to bring it together. or that the amount of time it would require would be worth it. but i'm really really happy with it in the end :)

the waters closed
above her face

with many a ring

#naomiartys #alkearth #webcomics #adoledeleveque

drawing of adolede laying in shallow water, her eyes drifting closed. Ripples cross over her, distorting her silhouette. Her eyes glow with magic, and a large bloodstain is growing in the water around her stomach.

i was gonna make adolede into one of those fish that shoots jets of water to hunt bugs, but they aren't really that interesting-looking :( so instead she's a blue cichlid

connie is a goldfish :) just a regular goldfish not even a fan tailed one

a drawing of connie and adolede as mermaids. Connie is holding a book which is falling apart in the water, and adolede is looking at the shreds of paper with a frown.

every day i chase the high of when i was in the theatre watching Lego Movie for the first time and they revealed what the Kragle was. I have truly never felt such pure distilled unadulterated joy and delight

a drawing of Andrea, a female manticore with a mane. Choleric humors cover her wings, making them large and strong enough to carry her into the sky. But her expression as she roars is painful and scared, showing that there is a price to this technique

a drawing of Nik, a skinny anthro jackelope wearing round glasses. he looks over his shoulder at the viewer, but his glasses are reflecting a red light and hiding his expression. He is holding a pistol that has a karambit blade at the end of the grip. a cloud of smoke billows around him, and behind his head there is a complex hemolytic circuit that glows like a halo.

this is one i could easily redo 100 times better these days, but i don't think i ever will. it doesn't fit my redraw criteria because i liked it plenty back when i made it 😂 but the concept is just so appealing to me, the vaguely priestly pose, the sign language letters, the matrix lighting

a drawing of Teresa, a young Korean woman, holding up her hands in a pose reminiscent of a classical religious figure, but she's making the ASL signs for the letters F and U. She's scowling at the viewer, but looking slightly to the side defensively. Bright green computer text full of nonsense runes streams up from her hands, and her hair hangs upwards as if she's flipped upside down.

i gotta find that "small rock" scatter brush again too dang. that's a good texture, perfect for scales. i forgot about it since it wasn't included as a default on the newer version of CSP i downloaded when i swapped machines after i finished Hush
