our fighter spent most of last combat Hasted and very kindly used her one million feet of movement to manoeuvre Elodie around the battlefield. (sadly Elodie was not thrilled about Kol’s methods)

My piece for @singomusezine.bsky.social Vol. 2, featuring Phlegethon, god of the river of fire ❤️‍🔥 Such a delight to be part of this incredible zine!

#mythology #mythart #greekmythology
A digital illustration depicting Phlegethon, god of the river of fire in the Underworld. Phlegethon is a muscular male figure with pitch black skin covered in patches of jagged obsidian, surrounded by molten, glowing cracks as if he's burning from the inside. Phlegethon's face is largely indiscernible except for his eyes, which burn like two embers. He wears only a tattered loincloth and carries a flaming spear in one hand. Phlegethon is stepping down into a lava lake via stairs carved into a stone outcropping. In the foreground, several glowing souls are submerged up to their necks in the lava. They reach for Phlegethon with pleading, pained expressions. In the background, lava pours into the lake via two waterfalls on either side of the image. Towering above them is the spectral outline of an austere, pillared building, with huge ghostly chains hanging from the outermost pillars. Flames lick up from the building's foundations, throwing embers across the dark background. Two other rivers can be seen coursing down distant mountains. The sky is red and glowing, with the silhouettes of three winged women far off in the distance.

“But the moment she cut the lilies the cottage disappeared, and the twelve brothers were changed into twelve ravens that flew away over the trees with a dismal cry and vanished.
The poor girl was left standing in the little forest clearing all on her own.”

From the Grimm tale “The Twelve Brothers“
Based on the fairytale of the 12 brothers by the brothers Grimm. A flat colour illustration of a girl, in medieval peasant green dress, holding a Lilly. She has long golden braids and a star on her forehead. She looks dismayed, realising that the lily flowers she picked up caused her 12 brothers to turn into ravens. They are shown flying in an arc behind her. 12 Lillie’s, their stems cut, are shown growing from 12 golden coffins at the bottom of the page. The scene is framed with a medieval style golden ornament. Behind the girl a scene of woods and a cottage are faintly painted inside a round frame.

superman AU with sorrel & imbris because i’m incapable of watching anything without thinking about OCs 😭💙 (sorrel belongs to a friend!)

#ocart #art #superman #originalcharacters
A digital illustration of two original characters in a Superman AU. The scene depicts Sorrel holding Imbris bridal style, hovering in a blue sky full of fluffy white clouds. Sorrel is a young man with fair, tanned skin and short blond hair. He is dressed in the conventional Superman outfit, consisting of a full-length blue bodysuit and red cape, with a red and yellow symbol in the shape of an S emblazoned on his chest. He is smiling fondly at Imbris, as if the whole point of this airborne jaunt was to see his reaction. In his arms, Imbris is smiling and looking around in awe. Imbris is a young man with pale skin and unruly white hair, though darker roots are visible at his hairline. He wears a white t-shirt, dark blue jacket and ripped jeans. He has one arm around Sorrel's shoulders and the other hand pressed to Sorrel's chest. The scene has hints of half-tone shading to mimic a comic book style.

last session my bard Elodie rolled a Nat 20 Investigation check looking for old contacts and ran right into her ex 💀🔥

#dnd #dndart #genasi #art #ocart
Several digital sketches of D&D characters. The first sketch is a full body drawing of Tash, a fire genasi performer. Tash is a tall, muscular woman with ruddy bronze skin and shoulder-length brown hair that she wears slicked back. Her hair turns to flame at the ends, licking around her neck and shoulders. Tash is dressed in a red and orange performer playsuit that bares her arms and legs, revealing curling black vine tattoos. The playsuit is adorned with flame patterns and glitter. She holds a fire dancing staff in each hand and is smiling faintly. The next sketch is a close up of Tash in profile, showing her mid-performance with flames dancing around her. The final sketch shows a flustered Elodie watching Tash's performance. Elodie is a blue-skinned tiefling woman with long black hair worn in two braids. Her shoulders are hunched, her lips pursed and her eyes wide with conflicted emotions. The words "LIVE ELODIE REACTION" hover above her head. A tiny chibi Max is drawn off to the side, giving Elodie an encouraging thumbs up. Max is a fiend with red skin, a red mullet and sunglasses.

At the end of last session Elodie picked up a magic sword that turned her all icy and dulled her emotions. I'm sure it's fine!

Sisters of the sea. A siren plays a jaunty tune for a harpy and a nereid. The ancient Greek ideas of sirens and harpies often get overshadowed, so I wanted to make an illustration distinguishing them from one another.
