[ sing, o muse, of achilles' ruinous anger ]

⚰️ achilles / skippy / casket
⚰️ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ he/him like an inanimate object
⚰️ 28 y/o
⚰️ oc artist
⚰️ ttrpg enthusiast
⚰️ ask me about snapping turtles

example of my art: half-body portrait of oc devereaux. a delicate-bodied guy in his mid-twenties with fluffy hair that falls in front of his eyes a little bit. he has a dark expression on his face, most of which is hidden either behind shadow or behind his square-framed glasses. he wears a cloak with a hood, tied in the front with a big bow. the bow has a hexagonal pin in the center. he cradles a very large tome in one arm, its cover features an upside-down deer skull, and its spine says the name "FAHRENHEIT". the entire illustration is done in a limited palette of near-black, dark teal, a lighter teal, and a bright orange to create tension.

example of my art: a traditional marker drawing of two of my ocs, saignée on the left, and melantha-lucille on the right. saignée is pale and wearing white and grey robes with a rose theme. he has a black visor over her eyes as well as black horns and red bunny ears that resemble flower petals. she has robotic legs which are also red, and a long fluffy white tail. melantha-lucille is darker-skinned with long and straight deep-purple hair. she wears a much more futuristic, sleek style robe in black and teal. she has robotic blue and white wolf ears and tiny floating angel wings. she wears knee-high black boots with teal accents. her arms have imagery of city skylines.

example of my art: photo of a traditional ink painting of my oc merlin. it is monochromatic with a blue accent colour. merlin is floating with a strained look on his face. there are watery, wavy blue lines in the background

The holidays are coming up, if you're thinking about shopping small businesses for gifts, it's a great time to start that ^^ Especially for us in Canada, with Canada Post returning to rotating strikes, there may be delays.
Here's a pack of Canadian Small Businesses!

Chocola! @ Comm workin :D @chocolamay.bsky.social · 14d

Made a character aesthetic collage after I saw one on TT!
I simply think everyone should make one for all their OCs :)

#aureliatav #ocsky #oc #chocolart
(Blank template I made in the replies ⬇️)

A collage of nine images, first is of my tiefling Tav, Aurelia, and her favorite outfit. The second is an image of just a pink tile. The third is Aurelia's eyes zoomed in, violet and blue. The second row has three squares, an image of a pink heart rose, Aurelia in the middle, and a dark brown puppy. The third rose is also a set of three squares, one being a zoomed in image of Aurelia's hair and her kissing Astarion, the second being a flower field at night with pink/purple flowers and the last is a quote that reads: "If softness was weakness, the flowers would never grow. -Amna Dhanani"

A collage of 9 squares, that read, Clothes, Color, Eyes, Flower, OC, Animal, Hairstyle, Place, and Quote.
