There's a little winter Gala event going on in the Mossberg rp group I'm in, and my character Naelynn asked @doctorgitgud.bsky.social 's character Drakko to attend with her so I drew a little scene to show their arrival to the Gala.

#oc #art #mossberg #mossbergRP #naelynn

A digital illustration created by the OP, armaina. It depicts two anthropomorphic bug-like characters. A small woman, Naelynn, and a large man, Drakko.

They are set in a snowy night scene, both dressed fancy attire. Naelynn is looking ahead to a scene that is unseen by the viewer, but she appears enthralled by what she sees. Drakko is standing beside her, though slightly behind, he has two sets of eyes, one set is fixated nervously on the event ahead, the second set is glancing down to Naelynn, observing her excitement.

Alright Alright, finally filled out that art summary thing.

A lot of bugs

Really putting a lot of work into the Mossberg RP/TTRPG server (that's what those three reference sheets are for)

#art #artistsummary #summaryofart #ocsky

The image is titled 'Armaina's 2025 summary of Art'
On it, it contains 12 boxes labeled for each month, and in them contains a piece picked from that month that Armaina liked the most.

I use following, only posts, and mutuals.

That's it.

I never used discovery on twitter, I don't use it here. (I went so far as to block liked posts from my feed)

'Hey Armaina, why do you dislike Blue so much?'

BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

A screen shot of an android screen with multiple app icons.

Drawpile, Venmo, Paypal, Canva, Wafrn, Notally, Docs, Thunderbird, Outlook, Bluesky, Tumblr, Trillian, Shazam, Discord, and Steam Chat all have predominantly blue colored icons.

Sketchbook, Dreamwidth, Ellipsus, Gmail, and Delta Chat are the only icons that are not Predominantly Blue

image is an illustration by the OP, Armaina

Image is a digital sketch featuring 3 characters, two unamed aliens and one armored humanoid, Daga

The two aliens and facing Daga, are both larger than her, in discussion. The one closest to Daga appears to be negotiating, where as the one further back is casually leaning in, ready for a fight.

a digital illustration by armaina

the image depicts a dark forest setting with two dragon-looking creatures. A small, young light-grey one, Talon, leans over a dead animal four times her size. Her wings are spread excitedly gesturing to the other. The figure to the right, Tlakanok, is Talon's mother, 5 times larger in size and dark grey in coloration, looking down at her child on the dead animal.

Talon: Mom! Mom! Mom! Did you see?!! I killed! I did it all by myself!! This means I'm an adult, now, right?
Tlakanok: .. No

Image depicts a digital sketch page by the OP, Armaina.

An assortment of rough sketches, a mixed array of human and a dragon-appearing alien known as Ertakar, with different interactions and expressions as practice for their depiction in a different style by the artist.

Image is a digital illustration by the OP, Armaina

Image depicts to characters, a large robot named Avis and a much smaller robot, Munin.

Avis takes up most the page and is attempting to read up and behind him onto his back where Munin, who is an 8th of his size, is perched. Avis is unable to reach him. There is shouting between the two characters:

Munin: Now that I have your attention-
Avis: What Th' Fuck, Man? Get down!

Another Mossberg related NPC, Ellezia, Naelynn's Mentor, a monster hunter of sorts. Lost her left arm a long time ago. Definitely used a lot of inspiration from my character, Cap. Very different life but similar personality markers and aesthetics.

#art #oc #mossberg #ellezia

Image depicts a anthropomorphic bug-like character. She is wearing simple attire close to that of a Victorian Spaniard Sea Captain. Her left sleeve is pinned up, as her left arm is gone. Her right hand is resting on the handle of a very large axe with a hammer-like head on the opposite end of the blade.

Drakko dressed up for Dia De Los Muertos, properly this time. Spirits Eve going on in Mossberg.

#art #mossberg #diadelosmuertos #diademuertos

Image depicts an anthropomorphic bug in attire common to Dia
De Los Muertos. He has marigolds on his head and around his wrists, is covered in skeleton-like body paint, and is twirling a folklorico style skirt.

He is surrounded by floating spirits of bugs that have passed on and are returning for the day.

I have made another NPC for the bug roleplay discord server I'm in, Mossberg. She's based off a Webspinner bug, and weaves fabrics made from her silk. She is a priestess for the in-world goddess, Jubilee, who is the goddess of Light, Family, and Joy.

#oc #art #mossberg #tessenti

Image is a reference of a insectoid woman based on the webspinner

The images include a standing clothed pose of the character in a layered silk-chiffon dress with vines wrapped around her arms and a veil that hangs over the back of her head covered in flowers.

The other image is a side view of the character to clearly show the body colors and patterns.

Text reads as follows
Tessenti (she/her)
Priestess of Jubilee
Webspinner
6'4" (193cm)
Elegant, Sophisticated, Grandmother

Adorns herself in fresh flowers and vines

Wears layered fine fabrics (woven by herself)
favors soft and light colors

Upper limbs are spinnerets
Will collapse flush against back when not in use.

Not gonna be able to get in this year's phoenix zine fest but at least it's done, can try next year.

Just gotta make the digital PDF version, now.

Image is a photograph of a Zine cover, the title is Teenage Angst. It has a caption in smaller text that reads "A compilation of poems written by a depressed teen curated by the stable adult she later became"

The image is a photograph of a Zine, the pages are slightly spread open to get a peek inside to the contents of the zine.

A little sketch page comm thing for @doctorgitgud.bsky.social featuring his character Armond with my girl Talon.
#anexentum #art #oc #TalonIxtakan

Image is a digital sketch page by the OP, Armaina, that features three sketch scenes of two characters. A large bug-like alien called Armond, and a smaller draconic-looking woman named Talon.

The first sketch on the left features Armond and Talon sitting on a rock in the middle of a conversation with serious and somber looks on their faces.

The second sketch on the top right features Armond and Talon sleeping together on the ground covered on a blanket. Armond is resting his head on his arm while his other hand is under Talon's head for her to rest on.

The third sketch on the bottom right features Armond and Talon after leaving a bath in the lake, Talon is wringing out her wet hair while Armond offers her a towel while he dries himself off.

This was a feature that was present in all Livejournal Forks and is carried on in Dreamwidth! (I do not recommend using livejournal these days. VERY recommend using Dreamwidth)
Pillowfort then also adopted this feature!
I love it, it is my favored form of emotional expression and communication.
