It's still May...barely. Wanted to draw a pair with Neera and Rus, since I did one with Sierra a few years ago.

Had so much fun drawing Art for @trexiva in the PotluckSecretSatan2026!

Last session through big magic shenanigans Neera ended up looking back so far in past she saw the creation of their reality...creation by Tiamat, but not the evil, destructive Tiamat she has grown up to understand. There are a prophecies surrounding a great betrayal that predates the 5 main gods Neera currently knows of, so she is trying to wrap her head around what this new creation possibility might mean.

I keep on forgetting to post this one social, but I did a sort animatic for Neera. CSP limited me quite a bit with how many frames I could do, but happy to attempt something new!

It has been awhile since I did a tarot version for Neera, and with recent revelations The Star has become more and more fitting. Just gotta keep ahold of hope, even when surrounded by the dark.

Another Draw this OC in your style on the Satan Server, this time for sparklecutie/snowlizard of their undead warlock Adhrit and his patron- looks spooky, but really he just wants to hug his favorite son.

Last DnD session ended on a cliffhanger- all the party members with missing memories from fairy had them rushing back as they awoke. Neera has been missing all memories and connection with her family- safe to say she's a little overwhelmed at the moment. It's fine, I'm sure she won't feel guilty, especially after just seeing her parents the day before and knowing now that she didn't' just forget her immediate family, but almost broke the connection to her goddess through all the bladesingers of previous generations.

Art Summary time! Really proud of some of these pieces- as with every year, there are a few months that are a bit lighter on art, but I made at least one thing each month and most months multiple fully rendered pieces. Particularly proud of the celariel/dread piece, as I don't often do painterly and that really pushed my rendering, and August's scene. Hoping to next year work on more backgrounds, but will have to see what time allows.

Participated in the FR Secret Santa Art Trade this year and had the opportunity to draw Crescentstar711's beautiful Cassandra! Absolutely gorgeous guardian, loved drawing her and had fun with the aurora background!

I participated in the Planetouched Secret Satan exchange this round and got the chance to draw emilythesmelly's beautiful tiefling Tarnatha! Such a joy to draw!

*remembers to post on here* I went and finally made myself a forum signature of flight rising! Went with my girl Neera- fae are very fun for these.

@archaickosmonot Hello I was your Secret Satan! This was my first time doing it and was delighted when I saw the cast of characters I got to choose from! It was so hard to choose but eventually I decided on Elmyra- she's so pretty, and I'm a sucker for a character who wants to protect the weak! I hope you like her!

We left of a DnD session with quite the cliffhanger a couple of weeks ago- the party is with the royal family, attending the Kings funeral and preparing for the terrifying task of meeting the waiting citizens who wish to offer condolences, when who should show up but the Pillar of Nerull of a nasty scythe that slices through your soul and a trio of angry shadow dragons. Meanwhile, shadow magic burst out of the King body and pinned all of his blood relatives, including out Princess Callisse who we are acting as envoys for since she is too pregnant to travel, in place and started life draining, a year per round. And there are babies here! Nevertheless we are still fighting to protect them atm, but I do think we can save everyone in the royal family (rip the old priest though, sorry dude).
