Another revenge! This time for thegoldenage over on Artfight, featuring their oc Hjördís (also known as Hetjikem) with a curious dune gecko ☀️ #artfight2025
Hjördís, a dark skinned woman with decorated locs, is holding a lotus-like spear in her right hand while a dune gecko calmly sits on her left. She is wearing clothes inspired by the Egyptian gods with a golden sun and lotuses in the background.

A revenge for @frogteethh.bsky.social over on Artfight. The moment I saw 'evil twink' in Caius' description, I just knew I had to draw something about these two 🦄🦄✨ #artfight2025 #ocart
Two humanoid unicorns, leaning close with their bejeweled horns touching. Micah, the one on the left with faded purple hair and dark skin, is gripping Caius' by the wrist as the pale white unicorn leans in for what might be a teasing kiss. Instead of Micah, Caius is looking towards the viewer with a heavy-lidded smirk.

The shapeshifting dragon Ruanon and prince Llyr meeting by the firelight #oc #ocart
A linearted illustration of a fair prince reaching to touch a golden dragon's snout, the dragon's head bowed low to meet the prince's touch. Ruanon has a bracelet around one of his horns, matching the one adorning prince Llyr's wrist. A black, starry night sky stretches above them, the wind ruffling Llyr's clothes and his long, partially braided hair. Both are cast in the nearby campfire's yellow glow.

"One half of me is yours, the other half is yours,
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours." #oc
Old Pride themed oc art from 2023. Two knights (Lugh with curly, silvery hair and Mordreaux with a golden circlet and long, dark hair) sit together underneath a rainbow colored blanket. Mordreaux is grinning warmly as he leans against Lugh's chest with Lugh's golden, prosthetic arm wrapped around Mord's shoulders in a loose embrace. The flowers framing the pair match the colors of the gay pride flag with soft hues of teal and blue.

🩸 Quote with your red art 🩸
A mage with a long auburn hair struggles against a gargantuan beast, its growling jaws inches away from his face. The background has sparks flying around, the glow of roaring frames washing out all the other colors. A forest scene of two knights leaning in for a kiss. The sun is setting and casts the taller man in searing orange light. A branch of a rowan tree obscures their faces. The moment is both intimate and tense. A brown-haired Miqote stands alone in field of sunflowers, the sun setting behind her. There's a hint of blood on the sunflowers' leaves, her expression troubled. An old drawing from 2022. Lugh kneels on the ground, his sternum split with a glowing gash as he looks up at a spectral figure who's offering him a hand. The scene is dream-like, out of place and time, with a dead man lying before him on the floor. A golden circlet rests between them on the bloodied ground.

Ooh! I'd love to offer Lugh for this toyhou.se/14782232.lug... 🫶 A landless knight who finds his life in freefall after his lord/father figure ends up dead under strange circumstances. He joins hands with a silver-tongued stranger who promises him justice and the two become scheming lovers.

realized i never posted this one here separately, so! from 2024, Lugh and Mordreaux playing games with each other as usual (Mord belongs to my writing partner 🫶) #oc
A black and white drawing of Lugh straddling his villainous lover, Mordreaux, with a hand around Mord's neck. Mord is grinning, gripping the sheets as he looks up to Lugh, aroused by the act. The background shows a glimpse of a canopied bed with lush curtains and tufted pillows.

The end of the journey, 6/6
An ink drawing of two gazelles leaping. An ink drawing of a boat filled with various animals, two of each kind. A black and white drawing of Enkidu's ghost looking towards the viewer, to Gilgamesh. His feet do not touch the ground as he floats in the air, phantasmal and weary.

Gilgamesh's lamentation, 5/6
An ink drawing of a male lion, roaring with its mouth open. A black and white ink drawing of Gilgamesh fighting against a pack of lions, lifting the largest of the beast up in the air, ready to throw him aside. An ink drawing of Gilgamesh wearing a lion's skinned hide, looking up at the sky. He still laments the death of Enkidu. An ink drawing of a woman, assumedly the alewife Siduri who tries to comfort Gilgamesh in the tenth tablet of the epic. She's nigh naked, wearing sheer shawls that swirl in the wind.

The death of Enkidu, 4/6
An ink drawing of Enkidu cursing leaving the wilderness, his arms covered in feathers like bird wings. He looks haggard, his expression melancholic. A small ink drawing of Enkidu lying on his back. He's dying but in a very sensual fashion. An ink drawing of naked Gilgamesh lamenting the death of Enkidu. He is posed rather sensually, his face half-hidden behind his raised arm with the other arm held against his chest, his hand over his heart. He's covered in body hair.

The search for Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven, 3/6
An ink drawing of Enkidu felling a cedar tree, his arms and legs as thick and powerful. A small ink drawing, serving as the chapter header, of Gilgamesh and Enkidu about to slay a bull. Gilgamesh has his sword raised while Enkidu is holding the animal by the tail. An ink drawing of the Bull of Heaven that goddess Ishtar sent to attack people after Gilgamesh rejected her advances. The bull is as big as a temple with a group of fleeing people amidst its sharp hooves.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu embark on their journey, 2/6
A small ink drawing of a group of five women, placed as a chapter header for the third tablet of the epic of Gilgamesh. They're seeing the two off. An ink drawing of Ninsun sacrificing to the gods, smoke from an incense curling across the page. An ink drawing of another chater header, this time a despairing figure with their back turned and clothes flowing in the wind. An ink drawing of Gilgamesh and Enkidu arriving to the cedarwood forest, looking around, armed with bows and swords.

Posting these in the order they appear on the pages, 1/6
An ink drawing of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, reclining on the ground with a group of maidens in the background. He is depicted with a horned hat, likely for the line that describes him as mighty and noble as a wild bull. A black and white ink drawing of naked Enkidu on the ground, leaning against his arms with his head bowed. He is exhausted, the fleeing gazelles running in the background. His beard and hair are long, his body hairy and strong. A black and white ink drawing of clothed Enkidu being led forward by the hand, accompanied a curly-haired woman. A black and white ink drawing of Enkidu wrestling with Gilgamesh, where it looks almost like an embrace, Gilgamesh's fingertips brushing against Enkidu's wild and long hair. Both men are hairy and burly.

Art by Riikka Juvonen for the illustrated edition of Gilgameš (WSOY, 1980). These drawings have lived rent-free in my brain for a while but since I couldn't find any extant scans online, I went ahead and cleaned them up the best I could. (Here are a few personal favorites, posting the rest below🧵)

Human Artist, let's QRT with your work!
Before After
A rough, colorblocked sketch of the painting on the right. A forest scene of two knights leaning in for a kiss. The sun is setting and casts the taller man in searing orange light. A branch of a rowan tree obscures their faces. The moment is both intimate and tense.

"You'd make me swoon instead?" #oc #fantasyart
Lugh, a knight with silvery, curly hair, dressed in a blue gambeson and black hose, holds another man perilously just above the glimmering water. The man, Mordreaux, is gripping his shoulders tightly and the two stare at each other intently, his long dark hair nearly touching the water's surface. There's a quiet sense of Mordreaux holding some affection for Lugh, but the knight doesn't notice it. A sheathed sword is strapped to Lugh's hip. The two are standing in a slow-flowing, almost motionless river, the water reaching mid-calf and from the water hand-like shapes are reaching out for both of them. In the background a golden castle hungs upside down, right below a wide shot of the riverside. A silhouette of a castle, different from the one shown in the river's reflection, is looming over the pale trees that grow by the river. The silhouette is an ominous shade of red, a stark contrast against the deep purple sky above it. The moon hangs low, barely peeking from behind the castle. On the castle is written Lugh's response to Mordreaux's question. "If I must," he scoffs at the stranger who he needs to work with yet cannot trust.

"We Myrmidons are not the sentimental type." #supergiantgames #hades
Patroclus and Achilles from Hades (the game) are both holding Achilles' spear, their kiss hidden behind the weapon's gleaming blade. The scene is serene, their clothes flowing in the wind.

Ari taking a dip in the lake. (oc)
A redhaired man stands amidst reeds, water dripping down his sunlit body and wet, red hair, that he has brushed back with his fingers. His face his hidden behind his raised arm, the scene feeling like a voyeristic glimpse of a private moment.

Working on new art still, so posting some old favorites from 2024! Lord Aristedes, a witch with the gift of clairvoyance, and his loyal companion Hvass, a man bearing the curse/blessing of a shapeshifting beast.
A fullbody picture of two men with a close-up panel of them in the background, where the shorter of the two, a redhaired lord named Aristedes, is gently caressing Hvass' scarred cheek, a tall, darker skinned man with salt-and-pepper hair/beard. Hvass holds Aristedes gently and Aristedes flashes a blushing grin at him. A warmly lit scene, showing a lit hearth with two men bundled up together in a canopied bed. The smaller of the pair, redhaired Aristedes, is embracing scarred Hvass who hides a kiss in his hair in return.

Aah big congrats! ❤️ And thank you for the artshare.

I'm Hymy, a fantasy writer and artist from Finland. I love tragedies, knights in peril and medieval fantasy with a heavy queer coating, and I'm hoping to push myself as an artist this year to be more bold with BGs and compositions in general.

A character portrait I retouched recently ⚔️ Atal Karga, a sharp-tongued dastard from an old short story idea of mine about a group of griffin-riders dealing with varying levels of existential dread. Fond of his griffin Claw and pestering his long-suffering friend and fellow guard, Ilisa.
A man dressed in a heavy cloak and furs looks sharply towards the viewer, his lips curled into a scornful smile. A healed scar mars his upper lip, his face framed by black, curly hair that messily rests over the thick fur draped over his shoulders. A bright ray of light is cast over one eye, making his hazel eye appear golden.

A meeting in the woods. Done for the ockissweek challenge that circulated tumblr earlier this month.
A forest scene of two knights leaning in for a kiss. The sun is setting and casts the taller man in searing orange light. A branch of a rowan tree obscures their faces. The moment is both intimate and tense.

If you see this, post a knight! ⚔️
A knight with curly, silvery white hair and short beard covering his chin and jawline looks ahead, stopped in his tracks to ponder about something with a solemn look in his eyes. Dressed in plate armor, a longsword and a dagger hang from his belt with a red kite shield strapped to his back. Atop his worn armor he wears a chainmail shirt, a neckguard and a deep blue surcoat with golden patterns. Behind him stands his white horse, the mare's head bowed as she prepares to take a step forward. The two are surrounded by an autumn forest with a sliver of pale blue sky visible between the golden trees.

And so another year wraps up and 2025 is here. As for last year, it turns out 2024 was the year of many (bloody) kisses. 💋
