D&D Art & Nonsense

So uh this was born from angst about Wyrdwood final season happening and I'm so scared, more than I ever have been about an Oxventure finale. Wyrdwood has resonated with me on some kind of crazy level. I'm a little not normal about it. 🙈

Idk if I like how this art came out or not. I just wanted to experiment with animal symbolism and loose mixed media vibes. Never know what to say for myself when I draw something like this.

Mostly inspired by the song "Harpy Hare" by Yaelokre (that's where the "She can't keep them all safe" line comes from). If you want a soundtrack for this piece I also listened to "Mama" by Unloved and "I Bet on Losing Dogs" by Mitski while working on it and I think those had an influence as well. A good spread of songs to sum up my emotional state oof lmao

To be clear it's: Happen - cat Robin - dog Morven - wolf Cressida - jackdaw Lug - aurochs (the weirdest choice here but an extinct animal felt correct to me. I almost gave him megaloceros but aurochs felt like it fit in better with the others. Bovid vs cervid Lug was an interesting debate to be having with myself though and I still don't know where I stand.)
