Was pondering zodiac/horse themed oc art but I was thinking I didn't have even a handful of horse themed ocs I could work upon until I remembered HER!!! Going to redesign her before I do anything though if ever haha. #ocsky #wyraineocs #workbyraine #grindfiction
(Presumably) A woman in a horse-themed biker helmet with technicolor hair. She was designed for a piece of GRIND FICTION the author was working on...

Since BSKY has a new wave of people I'm jumping in too! 🫡I'm an illustrator with a heavy focus on narrative and game design! I mainly work on my personal projects!

The author's Meet the Artist from 2025. They update this every year! A knight in green armor hunts a blazing barghest. A werewolf next to his human form. Two of the artist's OCs: Anansi the Spider and an orange-clad man named Coyote!

Happy Holidays everyone! I'm an Illustrator focusing on vast fictional narratives and game design. In the coming year I'm going to start uploading the backlog of all my work maybe.
A knight in green armor hunts a gigantic blazing barghest. The sketch of the cover of a small zine the author created. An illustration featuring BEAT from Jet Set Radio. A knight in blue armor battles a vicious kelpie.

Show us how you draw armour!
It really depends on what I'm trying to do. I have many knights so I'm keeping it simple for now... #workbyraine
Swordtember 2025, Day 23 (my birthday!), the theme of Owls with the Raptor Knight and various sketches... Four knights in vastly different fantasy armors. A dark skinned knight in black armor, wielding a polearm. A dark skinned space-knight in golden armor, wielding a rifle and a helm.

I unpinned my first serious about-post bc it needed to be updated. I tend to have a new one ready at the start of each year, so I figured I would just wait until then. :P In the mean time, here's a little bit about me for anyone who stumbles upon my work otherwise.
LIST: BFA in Animation, MA in Illustration, Full Time Job. 28 years old. I have friends and people I care about who care about me, who don't just provide me with delusional lip service and actually try to help me solve problems. I've started my own Studio Practice. I have a wide variety of skills and interests pertaining to the arts and beyond. I did not break out into the industry with my unique perspective and skillset, but I have been the envy of people equally as talented and practiced, or even moreso. I did not realize how deeply I was being overlooked and mistreated until recently, and I only have myself to blame. I aspire to be in spaces where my voice is reached by people who are willing to learn, who are willing to change their minds, who are willing to do the work. One day, I want to teach. I've spent my time cultivating insight and now I'm going to use it. I've spent a lot of my life trying to get along with people who actually, just suck. It's nobody's fault, but I can only be responsible for myself, so I'm learning how not to do that anymore. I am not Terminally Online. I do not know and I do not care.

The Sketching Shall Continue Until Morale Improves 😤 #sketchtag #workbyraine
A young fella' with curly anime hair holding a phone and looking to the right (our left). The symbols next to them are Mars and an altered planetary symbol that denotes "neutrois" A young black woman looking to the left (our right). The symbol next to her is Venus, but the line crossing the circle denotes "neutrois" The author's interpretation of Anansi the Spider, hunched forward and prowling on all of his arms reminiscent of a kind of monster. He says aloud "I'm gonna' smash yer head in, little lady" to someone in particular. They know who they are. The same character from the first drawing in an entirely different context. They are holding the decapitated head of a monster shaped like a tiger, and the freshly killed corpse of a smaller monster shaped like a bird. :) It's a metaphor.

Gleefully drawing humanoid character designs for guys that aren't at all human. #kirby #kirbyairriders #workbyraine #wyraineocs
Four figures titled by strange alien text. They were heavily inspired by four characters from a particular beloved niche game franchise.

Some more monsters! I'll be revamping some of them in my little game of catch up.

Feeling a little nostalgic. Here's my take on a particular set of Underworld Deities. They're a bit more removed from their inspirations than when I first designed them, but as the saying goes, iykyk!

He was initially designed for a defunct setting, but I've successfully revised and retrofitted him for my purposes. I would love to like, draw some comics with him as a presiding force, but one thing at a time.
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” ― Cesar A. Cruz. A pair of pieces utilizing this quote for emphasis. Features my OC's, Anansi, and a woman and her nephew Cropped sketch of me, Anansi, and another figure who has been removed via the cropping. Rough painterly doodle of Anansi from sometime last year. He has ringed eyes like a crazy person. A work in progress from 2025, featuring Anansi and a name tag that obscures his true identity.

For Day 12, I'm skipping over my monster challenge to share one of my most precious characters. This OC is my interpretation of the god, Anansi, an African-Diaspora mythic figure, trickster, and folktale hero (also the God of Wisdom).

#wyraineocs #mythology #blacktober #spider
An eight armed african man with a spider motif. The Trickster God of Wisdom and Storytelling, as penned by the Author/Illustrator: Anansi.

For Day 11 of the Halloween Monster Challenge I did last year, here's an unaltered Boogieman! I've got mixed feelings about the Boogieman, but I like the design so I'mma let 'em slide for now.

The silhouette of a humanoid figure stepping out from a dark place. Kind of scary!
