Small sketch of my Carniflora character Ginn, daughter of Tessara and Herik. She was a prismancer who lived thousands of years before the current time in my story; back when Torvaile was a child.

I gave my snakeplant/sundew mercenary Carniflora Cidion a cowboy hat for his government sanctioned mission to Paradise. I think it suits him.

I’ve been exploring an AU of my characters in which Torvaile wasn’t as horrible of a person, and because mnemoforgers wouldn’t have been illegal in said AU, Sepia would have been brought to the Palace to learn, so he and my partner’s oc Savitri would have gotten rather close. #Carniflora #au

I’m thinking about if my characters were to show up in the real world, and the mental image of a young adult Albedo sneaking into the kitchen at 3am to consume an ungodly amount of redi-whip like some feral goblin will never not be funny to me.

You’re very welcome! I adore your art style! You definitely gained a follower XD

🦂thescorpiondoctor @thescorpiondoctor.bsky.social · 5d

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love the soft lighting, and the expressions are so sweet and tender!

I was feeling down the other day so I drew this sketch of my character Albedo as an adult comforting an anonymous human to cheer myself up.

Sketch dump of Viathan from an alternate universe my partner and I have. The AU explores what would happen if the former main villain Torvaile got reincarnated as a child via soul magic tomfuckery. He is not happy with his current predicament. #Carniflora #closedspecies #art #dragon #oc #au

Character design of a very angry child who goes by the name of Viathan from an alternate universe my partner and I were exploring with our oc’s. He’s not canon in my main Carni timeline, however exploring alternate storylines is fun.

I think she will be. She has made significant progress and has finally realized and accepted the fact that Torvaile only ever saw her as a tool and a weapon and cared about her to the extent of her usefulness to him. She’s also making friends and taking etiquette lessons under Lady Cinder.

Golden Moment

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas. #Stasanie #Fowldyr

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Here’s a rare genuine smile from my character Lady Cinder, former communications ambassador and current advisor to Archon Kiyoshi. She is usually rather poised and guarded but something happened to brighten her mood enough to break her mask.

I figured as much! She’s doing a lot better now if a bit lonely. Currently, she’s staying alone in a little house the new ruler Kiyoshi has set up for her. Torvaile kept her isolated from everyone so she’s learning social skills before she’ll be let loose among other people. She gets visitors though

Avariss was an untouchable assassin; she is extremely poisonous (her blood, sweat, and especially her tears are lethal to others of her kind) so she lived a life without physical contact. She also has the power of intangibility which lets her phase through solid objects at will.

My character Avariss 2 years after Torvaile’s death. She is being rehabilitated from being someone conditioned to place her value in her usefulness to Torvaile to someone who places her own value in herself. #Carniflora #closedspecies #art #dragon #oc #originalstory

For those of you wondering, this is how Railan looked during Torvaile’s reign. He was rather haggard and thin and often recovering from several injuries at once due to his work with giant wasps the size of horses and cars and how badly the wasps were treated under Torvaile’s reign.

My character Railan 2 years after the change in leadership spurred on by the tyrant god king Torvaile’s death. He’s filled out a bit and is doing much better for himself. Questions/comments regarding my art, stories, and species are much appreciated.

Small sketch of Hazel, one of the Palace culinary experts. She originates from the brackish Sylvarin swamps of Depthmire and was involuntarily relocated to serve in the Palace by Torvaile.

Thank you for this awesome opportunity! Your art is so stunning and I look forward to seeing the end result regardless of who wins. I would love an icon of my Carniflora character Lady Cinder if I win.

Here’s a little doodle I did of my Carniflora character Sepia looking rather demure. He’s one of my favorite characters to draw lately. Questions and comments about my characters/species are more than welcome!
