Drawing sexy people is hard. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyways, here’s a new character I’m working on (my ideas for her are in the ALT text)

#art #characterdesign #myart #ocart #originalcharacter #watercolor #illustration #blackartist #artsky #furry #fantasyart #furryart #originaldesign
Description: A humanoid angora goat lady with a slender build standing against a black brick wall. She has some of her pink wool covering one of her eyes and in a ponytail. She’s wearing a golden horn covering, pink wool as a crop-top, purple gloves with two golden bracelets, a purple see-through cloth around her waist, and black fish-nets on her legs. Her feet are also covered in her pink wool. Her fur is off-white with light brown spots underneath. Her face looks sleepy-eyed but aware of her surroundings. Story: I’m thinking of making her prostitute with her stage name being Salt but her real name is Selene. She’ll have light magic and formally be apart of the Ironclad Sirens. I also want her to be sort of an aunt figure to Diana—she’ll have two of them with the other being in the Ironclads as a scientist/engineer. (I might make the aunts sisters.) For Diana, she’ll probably be one of the best people to talk to for information about her parents and just for life stuff. I want make her someone who’s just easy to talk to in general.

Sorry for the wait! Thanksgiving did a number on me but I did some sketches along the way :). I wanted to draw something else besides my characters. Here’s some of what I drew :p

#art #sketches #traditionalart #characterdesign #originalart #myart #artsky #blackartist #drawing #conceptart
On the left is concept art for a Frontline Captain for the Ironclad Sirens—a mercenary group that acts like a pseudo nation in my story, Bloodlust. Frontlines are the ones clients will see in their main battles. Most of her armor is light for movement but her shoulders, arms, chest, and calfs have have some heavier iron armor. Her chest plate is shaped like a six-pack for intimidation purposes. Most of her face is covered with a bandana on her head, a pair of dark shades, and a mask with a cartoony cat mouth on her mouth. She, notably, has a giant sword that acts almost like a box cutter. She can open and retract it from the hilt of the blade by turning it clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. It also has some jagged edges when it’s fully drawn. On the right is an Assassin Captain for the Ironclad Sirens (she is also a cat woman and pretty short.) Assassins aren’t seen by clients and carry out their duties in the shadows. Her armor is very light as it mainly consists of high quality leather with a pair of arm and leg iron braces. Her face is also fully covered by a white mask with two big shaded eyeholes. Her weapon are two rods that, when pressed together at the ends, can turn into a bow. By channeling her magic into it, she can create a functional bow and arrow or take them apart and create two big knives. A thin humanoid monster woman with a red dress and heals on. The ends of her dress are golden with a scorpion-like in design but can attack with the speed and reach of a serpent. Her head-dress covers her face where her eyes should be and extends beyond the back of her head. Towards the end of her head-dress are her eyes which are shaped like triangles. Her face can split apart to show a vertical set of teeth. Her arms can also split apart which makes her appear as if she has four arms. Her overall image looks like that of a saint but she behaves like an eldritch horror when your guard is down. Cowboy guy with a sack that fully covers his head and two thick asymmetrical glass pieces for his eyes. His sack also covers his left forearm and has a hole for his mouth to take smoke breaks. He has a cowboy hat, a tie, arm guards, gloves, and old western pants on. His knife is small and looks like a feather pen. A buff woman with a skull mask on. Her skull mask has tusks on the teeth and a big leaf on her head. Her bracelets and shoulder braces (?) are spiky. She also has a long wire wrapped around her left arm. She uses it to hit or drag her opponents towards her.

Something was bothering me about my recent drawing. I think my perspective was off. Should look a bit better now :). I might make some other changes later

#art #artfix #illustration #ventart #blackartist #artsky #originalart #myart
Changes: I lowered the height of the grass. Drawing of my persona (mainly a mix between a goat and a bright red rabbit) sitting down on light blue grass—her body is has a big purple squiggle on it. She’s staring at a giant orange sun in front of her and there’s a dark blue cloud below the sun. The sun also looks like it’s in space among the other stars.

Was feeling pretty down for awhile so I just let my mind wander while drawing. I think it turned out pretty well. It kinda reminds me of
Andromeda by Gorillaz. What do y’all think?

Talos and Diana just chilling together. Talos is a giant sphinx while Diana is the Roman goddess, Diana (her namesake). Talos is lying on her back against a tree and gently holding Diana up with her paws. The background is a forest. Cheese as a alicorn (unicorn and pegasus). Cheese is essentially a horse with a tiger jaw, goat eyes, and bear nose. The background is bright red while his pose is fierce and angry.

Drew up Diana in her executioner gear. I also changed up her scar design. I might get into her lore on here later :3
#art #executionerart #blackcharacter #scar #sketch #sketches #traditionalart #blackartist #artsky #myart #original #fantasyart
Diana Stone holding her executioner axe on her left shoulder. She’s wearing a hood with a mask that covers up her face and shoulders, a sleeveless shirt, a belt holding a pouch of seeds and an additional knife, long pants and ironclad gloves. Her right arm is covered in scars on her forearm and shoulder. Since she’s a plant user, she uses the seeds to grow plants that hold down her victims and, sometimes, give them a plant to calm them down in their last moments. Diana giving a hybrid kid some food. The kid is a mix between a werewolf and a dark elf. She’s wearing the same outfit in the last picture but with the addition of ironclad boots and no weapons. The kid is wearing scrappy clothing. They’re implied to be sitting in an alleyway. Text: Toward Diana: “Gave lil guy some food” Toward hybrid kid: ”Reluctantly ate it up” Food sound effects: Munch Munch Munch Headshots of Diana showing a new scar design. It used to just be a big scar on her right cheek and neck but it now reaches around the back of her head to her forehead. It’s curved like a backwards ‘C’. She can still see out of her right eye but she can’t open it fully just like her previous design.

Made some digital art of Talos! Took me forever since I’m experimenting with a new style but I honestly love it :)

#art #artsky #ocart #illustration #digitalart #originalart #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterart #blackartist #fantasyart #myart #shapeshifterart #dragonart #humanoid
Talos in her original form—a black dragon humanoid with red scales and orange stripes between them. The black parts are actually a bit slime-like to help her shape shift and she doesn’t have a snout or nose. Her outfit includes an old whiteish cape with a blue stripe within the center, whiteish bandages covering her torso and arms/hands, and blue split pants that holds her brown leather purse along the belt. All of these items (except her torso) have gold bracelets or brooches on them. Her pose is flamboyant as she puts one of her hands behind her head in a relaxed gesture. She also has a big smile. Her face is framed by red scars that represent where her scales and other features of her original form go. Her ears are elf-like and she has a hook nose. Her skin is brown like her eyes rather than white like in her original form. She’s wearing fully brown leather clothing with one of her legs being covered in bandages. She’s also wearing a blue cape that looks purple due to the lighting. She also has red accessories on two strands of her hair that frame her face. The pose and smile are the same.

My submission for the @pokeearthcollab.bsky.social Meowth Collab!

Really sad to hear about James Carter Cathcart’s passing. Crazy just how many characters he voiced in the anime.

An illustration in black ink and colored pencil of the pokemon Meowth. Meowth is a bipedal beige cat with brown markings on its feet and tail. It has black ears and a gold coin embedded in its forehead. This Meowth is slouched over and furrowing its brow in exasperation.

You know when you just sit down and try to brush up on the fundamentals, but you end up making another full blown piece entirely? That’s basically what happened with this piece but it ended up getting rid of some stress I had so it’s a win
