I do art, and make characters & worlds.
* A Tale Where Nothing Matters (post-apocalyptic)
* NO SUN (soulslike)
* Neo Sulfur (sci-fantasy)

You would be a fool to ask me about any of them! (the knowledge would drive you mad)
I'm a deaths-head hawkmoth actually.

If video games have taught me anything, its not to underestimate the efficacy of a crowbar as a weapon.

Protagonist for a side project of mine that I probably care about the least LOL. Same one as Saiga is from. Drew a while ago but forgor to post.

"Mother Narul will guide us to victory, for she has been taught in the arts of the void by the First Teacher. If Kilmatyka and her Ironclads march south, the Illumoran people will not be subjugated again. So decree the Heirs of Sorrow."

i believe ive mentioned the card game some friends and i have been working on. i enlisted myself to do the card art for THEINOS - WORSHIPPED IDOL, the hero representing the Demonic + Divine class combo.

They demand your total and unwavering devotion.

A warrior queen that as of Laraprim's apocalyptic modern day seeks to conquer all of the nations and environs weakened in the fallout of the Dormancy Period. Eccentric to a fault, and claims heritage to a storm deity.

OC lore train. Explain OC lore in the dumbest way possible!

"Now, I know I came to YOUR kingdom and lied about everything I was going to do to help you out, but if I'm gonna become a god now that the sun is dead I HAVE to turn you all into monsters, thats just how it is."

Took a departure from my usual style to experiment with simple silhouette-oriented design in three shades. Which of these twelve enemy types are YOU??

There are no two things Saiga loves more than watching the menials dismantle each other over frivolities, and flaunting his immense wealth. Now praise him, before the Shell-Guards dent your cranium plate.

Art for a small project I don't work on enough.

S'vylna the Ruin Prophet is a boss in NO SUN. A wyrm from beyond the stars in service to a hungry great one, she has assumed a humanoid disguise and infiltrated the church to goad them into hosting her offspring as part of a ritual of ascension.

I think I mentioned back on that one Riann portrait post that some friends and I have been working on a card game. These a few quick art pieces I've whipped up for some Divine cards in it. Gazing Gargoyle, Angel of War, Platinum Paragon, and Overambitious Crusader.

"Primarch", the chief of the Fallow Knights of Belisk. Wields a magic sword which can stretch like water with every slash. Drew her for International Womens Day since my friends love her so much for her past, which is an entire story unto itself.

Drew some quick doodles for use in my bestiary. I may eventually go back and do all these creatures with the same effort as Frost Procession, but not rn.

The Frost Procession is a trio of funerary ghouls that endlessly wander the frozen forest. A trio fight encounter composed of (from left to right) the Widower, the Pallbearer, & the Priest.

NPC for NO SUN. Harriet is the last keeper of an ancient religious site that grows in power by finding and empowering Hearth Fragments throughout the world. She assists you behind the back of Aisha, who naturally wants to see you dead.

Was requested to draw a badass banyan tree.
I had never heard of these things before this, but I absolutely love how wild they are.

You know you're in the thick of it when you start drafting the rules for fucking map generation in your roguelike that will never exist. Though I have actually been thinking about this potentially being something I could GM through text. Its that tight knit

Another boss for the roguelike I've been posting about recently, THE NUCKELAVEE. It was the most foul thing that could have emerged from the seas, and has tainted the valley with its pestilent presence.

Turned that Riann halfbody drawing from yesterday into a dialogue box mockup for a card game some friends and I have been developing featuring our worldbuilt settings and projects.

The site is definitely too shit to format it like this though

A mockup of the combat screen for one of the possible areas you could get as your second act in my conceptual roguelike, Six Days.

Fear the unsanitized & suffocating stretches of THE MIRED VALLEY.

Commission for @heyashera.bsky.social, of a creature that appears in a book they are publishing.

The effort that went into this piece was definitely worth it! :D

Halfbody drawing I did of Riann again simply because I wanted to. Perhaps I do play favorites with some of my characters, especially my villains. ☠️

IT WASNT JUST ABOUT SURVIVAL ANYMORE.
IT WAS ABOUT BEING CORRECT.

She was content to know that all would be slew & put to rights, in the unforgiving dark of the last eclipse.
