HERE BE MONSTERS

This was supposed to be a fast sketch to try and get a better feel for the character, instead it turned into a week-long experiment in rendering iridescence that has way outstayed its welcome. Eventually I gave up trying to paint her accurately so I just kinda went with whatever colors were pretty lol. Xaali is one of my necromancers in ESO, and is mainly an excuse to use that super-shiny deadwater skin 

Sorry, never saw this until now! I have been discovered lmao, that was indeed me :D Always wondered if there were tumblr folk in there. Thank you for the kind words, me and Al are both extremely flattered! I hope you had some fun LI rounds this year, I know I definitely did~

Like 3 years ago I *very* briefly tried out Neverwinter, made this picture, and promptly forgot about both the pic and the game lol. Nice enough for an older mmo, just couldn’t get into it. I did have a lot of fun on my tiefling warlock, though, and that crazy “hovering in an electric purple haze” movement ability of theirs. Jraxe here is my pink chaos demon that invariably shows up in every fantasy mmo I play. 

Apparently we’re chuggin right along through my GW2 cast this month! I’ve been wanting to do a special tribute to Nyverea here for a very long time, as her design is probably one of my favorites out of all my characters ever. This is also my first time rendering a sylvari and if I was smart, it would be my last (I am not smart) Nyverea is an older ‘vari and has spent almost the entirety of her life in the Grove, where she works as a tender for newly awakened saplings. She has a knack for wrangling their unfettered personalities with a mixture of grace and dry humor. The rare few who return and remember her will always find Nyverea to be a happy, if weary audience for their adventures abroad.

Some overly ambitious charr WIPs I’ve had for a long time, haha...the character in the first one has an entirely different design now, so I ended up with this really finished lineart of no one in particular. I guess if someone wanted to take a crack at coloring it for some reason, feel free? Just let me know if you do, I’d love to see the result :D  The second one is a Alzarcus, a charr I’ve had for ages. He doesn’t get played a lot so naturally he has the most complete backstory out of all my GW2 characters, go figure. He's spent over half his life in various prison quarries, and now works as a grubby frycook somewhere in the bowels of Gladium Canton. I also didn’t draw him nearly fat enough, but he’s probably okay with that. Do wanna finish this one someday.

I got to missing Vy so badly, I remade her as a norn in GW2 and honestly it kind of rocks?? There’s nothing in any game today that really compares to her old Stalker class in Wildstar, but a holosmith in GW2 lends itself to more of that techie-cyberpunk aesthetic I associate so much with her. Plus it means that Vy now has bombs, which I’m sure she considers a fantastic improvement

Ziko has been reincarnated into a few games now, but her GW2 incarnation is probably the most successful/accurate. She’s a small, spoiled, fiery idiot of a charr and I love her to death. 

Forgot I had these!! Did a bio for Izaru a while back and was trying to drum up extra art for it, but the poses in both of these came out a bit weak. The flat-color silhouette I’d especially love to try again someday, not super satisfied with it. Oh well, live and learn! Excited to try the new Elsweyr expansion soon :D 

Lil sketch to commemorate Jakya. I never got a chance to RP her before Wildstar’s shutdown, but I always had a soft spot for her design and Platinum Bitch attitude. 

Been thinkin ‘bout a new hairstyle for Izaru--half because I like the shape, half because the blue gems it comes with match her warrior princess tiara lol. Think I’ll keep it! 

My design for my ESO werewolf! Thank you Zeni for giving us a house that lets you run around as a doggo for all time, now let’s see about upgrading that werewolf model maybe someday possibly please

My contribution to retromissile’s massive and beautiful Wildstar collab, featuring my treasure-hunting, privateer-turned-mercenary greedybutt Vyzura. Originally I was gonna stick Ziko in this, as she’s kinda taken over as my favored main these days...but Vy was the first character I ever wound up RPing in an MMO, so I thought she was owed the spotlight. <3 Starting to get super attached to her again, just in time for the game’s end ofc, end me. Gonna miss this neon lizard.

Been a while since we’ve had some leezard content here o: Biyani got some sunshine today, and dandelion snacks. Can hardly believe she’s 7 years old now ;_; 

My Wildstar spellslinger, Ziko <3 And my first picture rendered (almost) entirely in Sketchbook! Nifty lil program

This is Izaru, my longest-running main in The Elder Scrolls Online. Sketched her up for a quick experiment in figuring out how I want to handle large areas of black, as I hope to have a larger piece featuring her done a little later this year. 

Another smirkbutt--this time, one of my own! Oliverae is my main in The Elder Scrolls Online and elsewhere. There’s probably gonna be a lot of her posted here, she’s my most favorite little rapscallion to play. This picture is a bit off-model for how I draw her now but I think it still holds up alright. 

Also, a heads up: I’ve mostly put worldbuilding on the backburner, for now. A long while ago I came to the realization that I enjoy making characters and bouncing them off of others far more than I enjoy making grandiose settings and stories on my own. The latter were never especially coherent, anyway. Maybe I’ll return to it in force someday but for a long time now it hasn’t held my interest. So, going forward, a lot of what gets posted here will be more in the vein of characters I make in games, RP art, still maybe the odd fantasy thinger here and there. We will see! Thanks for sticking around.
