white gold
a drawing of a bipedal unicorn. they have fine fur with a metallic shimmer and a mane of long, windswept hair that falls past their buttocks— similarly lengthy hair drapes around their wrists and ankles. their face is mostly obscured by their fringe, with only their nose and mouth visible.

lachlan had his first official vet visit today, earning him many a good noodle star.
a photo of a small black kitten on the observation table at a vet clinic. he appears to be investigating. another photo of the same kitten. his head is raised so you can get a good look at the big, shiny marbles he has for eyes, which are currently a lovely shade of green.

if there are any artists following me that migrated from paint tool sai to procreate, this brush pack has been an absolute boon. the creator replicated the pen sensitivity to the best of their ability. azzylum.gumroad.com/l/sYEUh
a guide to various brushes in the pack. credit to azzylum on gumroad.

the lovers ❤️
a drawing of a pair of half-naked butch/femme lesbian lovers entangled in an intimate embrace. anneliese (she/her) is lifting omen’s (they/them) leg at the knee, letting the weight of her partner’s thigh rest against her own as her other hand pulls the two of them chest-to-chest. omen’s raised arm sits behind her shoulders, hand angled just so to tangle their clawed fingers into her tousled curls. they regard each other with half-lidded, lovestruck gazes and knowing grins. the art features flat colors in romantic red hues.

red ivory 🩸
a drawing of a pale unicorn leering rather ominously at the viewer from behind its raised hand, held delicately over the lower half of its face. several droplets of red drip from the long, pointed horn at its forehead. among its wardrobe is a dress shirt with puffed sleeves, a cravat pinned with a heart medallion, and several pieces of jewelry. the art itself has a rough, paper-like texture.

mildewed paint 💧
a drawing of my elderly oc maverick reimagined as a unicorn. her skin is blue, with dark fur and one white stocking on her left foot, as well as the tip of her long, winding tail. cracks spiral through her horn, which glitters faintly. she is looking quite wearily at the viewer while she sits, seemingly in her own quiet company. the same piece of art with an effect over it that makes it look like a canvas that’d been left to the elements. the colors have been tinged a faded, moldy yellow to resemble sun damage on real paint.

noir 🐦‍⬛
a cropped work in progress art of my oc maverick, an elderly elven woman, lounging back on a cushioned bed. she is holding a glass of wine, of which barely covers her exposed chest. a different crop of the same art, showing off maverick’s raised legs, clad in sheer nylon stockings and high heels. an ornate lamp and a bottle of wine sit on the nightstand behind her.

a drawing of an androgynous vampire (omen, they/them) dressed in victorian finery, holding the curved blades of a matching pair of sickles up to their throat as if to slice it open. they are grinning hungrily at the viewer.

with the unicorn as my muse, here’s my first attempt at working in procreate. default hb pencil.
#illustration #oc
a sketch of a fluffy humanoid unicorn (mezereon, he/him) done with procreate’s hb pencil brush. i’d written “my pony ❤️” next to his head.

human decay, corpus dei
#oc #illustration
a digital canvas with multiple pinup drawings of a thin, androgynous vampire with long hair (omen, they/them) in the nude. the drawings are as follows: 1. omen facing away from the viewer, with their arms reaching back behind them to subtly spread themself. 2. omen standing at an angle with their back arched & twisted, showing off both their bare chest and their rear end. 3. omen facing the viewer with their arms raised and chest puffed out, causing their bare, perky breasts to stand at attention. their tail tastefully censors their genitals.

a sketch drawing of an emaciated demonic creature sat on its haunches facing away from the viewer. its limbs are long and gangly, and its hair drips like liquid onto the floor as it peeks over its shoulder with a wide eye.

a fully-rendered character reference sheet of a tall, androgynous vampire dressed in medieval gothic fashion with pale skin and black hair. below is a transcript of the text on the sheet. omen craioveanu. they/them, neutrois, stone femme, 6'1" / 185 cm. by the merciful hand of a seldom benevolent god, cursed to be reborn a strigoi; the origin of the mythology of vampires. sustained only by life essence found in mortal blood, habitually supplementing with flavors and textures; a remnant of a human life once lived, favoring cherry wine and freshly picked blackberries. burn scars on both forearms and hands. wears primarily leather, latex, and lace. semi-prehensile tail assists in maintaining balance and coordination. when undernourished, appearance deteriorates until next feeding. quite deadly while hungry. wields a sickle forged from steel, primarily for bloodletting. demonstrating advanced skills in hemomancy, they wield an opponent's spilled blood, creating intricate tools of gore with which to cut them down. end transcript. a few extra pieces of text, such as "cloque", "temporary bat form", and "palette" are used to label miscellaneous drawings of said things. the sheet is framed via red rosebushes with black vines and thorns.

another design, mostly for fun.. much less relevant to the overall plot, but she's still one of my favorites.

a reference sheet drawing of a heavily tattooed young woman wearing a latex top and checker-patterned pants with chunky, gothic boots. the drawing features several details, such as each tattoo design and an additional side profile.

a short while ago, i realized i needed a morally ambiguous contagonist for one of my stories... meet yoko, a well-known gang leader who operates out of an illegal pitfighting ring and launders money via bribes and bets.
