Skaði of the Wilderness

Artfight attack for DreamDragonCreations! This design caught my attention right away, and when I saw her voiceclaim was Freya from GoW I HAD to draw her ^^

I couldn't decide whether to draw her with her mask or without, then thought, why not both...?

#artists on tumblr #clip studio paint #personal fav #creatures #wolf #wolves #animals #ferals #portrait #really happy with how the bg turned out on this one!#i need to stop letting bgs intimidate me out of drawing them so much =__='#you can't get better if you don't practice and all #also more attacks coming soonish!#i'm waiting until I have a decent batch to upload any more #this one just gets to jump the queue since artfight can't do MP4s or HQ gifs XD

In other news my favorite art marker gave up the ghost this last week 😔 very sad times.

#not art

Artfight card! En garde! 🤺🖌️

It's my second year doing it and this time I'm a little more prepared XD Lio is still missing a proper reference but hopefully I'll be able to bang something out before it's too late! In the meantime she has some screenshot turnarounds and a dog!Lio one can use :]

Kasai gets yet another facelift (and some fancy-schmancy presentation!).

#my OCs #kasai #spiritfall #artists on tumblr #clip studio paint #personal fav #these are really more like V.10 or something if you consider stuff further back than a few years ago #but for the purposes of what this is I was like ??? throws my hands up. whatever hahaha

Losarus, incarnate form of the ocean and justice, and big damp snek

Also, the subject of this post from March XD He's finally revealed!! //jazz hands

Lyna reminisces.

I had a lot of fun being part of the NPC Mini Bang event over at xivnpcbang.bsky.social the past few months, during which I got to draw this huge mural/comic of one of my favorite FFXIV characters, based on a story by @quillofevernight ! <3

Big thanks and kudos to the mods running the event and everyone who participated, this was a lot of fun (and now that I'm done, it's time to go catch up on all the art and fics 👀✨)

Sketchbook pages and some marker testing.

#artists on tumblr #sketchbook tag #creatures #first posting #markers #traditional art #these were just supposed to be scans but there's a few digital doodles added to some of the critter pages bc i couldn't help myself XD #trying some different approaches to photographing this sketchbook #definitely looking better but it's still rough #idk how people get such good results with the hardbound books!!#witchcraft!#teach me your ways #at least this one's finished so I can just do spiralbounds from here on out haha

I'm working on a redesign of one of my old OCs (a sea serpent) and accidentally came up with two different ways of handling the limbs that I really like, both of which fundamentally change their use AND aren't compatible with each other DX shiiiit

#not art #1 is more like a lionfish fin and the other is more like an exaggerated crocodile #(it always comes back to crocodiles somehow.)#i'd love to go back and talk to the professional designer who helped me with this design at an earlier stage and like.#i technically COULD ask.#but i also do not want to be weird or bother him x'D #y'know??#aaaaaaa

30 min crosshatch-y sketch to wind down (with a bit of paintbrush cheating, shhh hahaha). Something about F Snapper faces always has kindly grandmother energy to me.

[Fall 2024]

I am terribad at uploading things for ??? reasons so have some random centaur doodles from 2024!

#artists on tumblr #clip studio paint #i'm pretty happy with this for not drawing horses much #still plenty of bits to iron out in the future tho #they're really cool animals so i'd like to get better at them eventually!#it's just. daunting XD #as just about every artist well knows hahahaha #(except perhaps james baxter!)#oh also I have some commissions from the past...uh. year or two. that I need to upload. so you may see those soon too oughgh

Despite trying several times I don't really have an elegant or put-together way to say it, but I really appreciate everyone who left any kind of note or kind comment on my adoptables, especially this most recent batch of bases. Everyone is so sweet and I hold onto all the comments and tags like...well, a dragon hoard <3

#i was really worried the sandsurge one wouldn't do well bc of the crazy aspect ratio (it's almost 2:1!!)#but no! so many people really love it 😭#augh #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #aaaAAAAAAAAaaAaA #waugh #not art

Man you really do not realize how frequently FR adds new genes to the rosters until you try to keep up a complete spreadsheet of all of them 😂

#not art #i don't reeeeally want to have to be thinking about the spreadsheet every time FR updates #i like to be able to turn my adopt brain off a bit when the shop is closed #but it's looking like I HAVE to otherwise all hell breaks loose in there adhshsghhdffs

Samples of my new Undertide adoptable base, with some friends who joined them for a swim!

My apologies to the marine biology enjoyers; for maybe-obvious reasons, the sea creatures aren't drawn to correct scale...like at all X'D Unfortunately Undertides are so huge that anything smaller than a whale was going to look tiny, so very quickly I felt it best to just throw realism out the window and go by aesthetics haha. (Plus, the Tully Monster should also get to be big. It deserves it. u__u )

These will be available for order at my adoptable shop starting Wednesday February 4th, alongside new Thorntail and Sandsurge bases. Go check it out!

#the beluga music notes can be customized btw :) more details on the shop page #artists on tumblr #clip studio paint #flight rising #fr #undertide #adoptables #ych #first posting #this and sandsurge took SO long and I'm still not 100% happy with them #but eventually you reach a point where you're happy *enough* and you want your life back XD #i loooove undertides even though i don't have a lot in my lair #they're kind of the dark horse of ancients i feel like.#I did take some real creative liberties with their wings #made them a lot more flipper-like #for a few reasons!#creatures

My new Thorntail adoptable base, with samples and some expressions to choose from!

These will be available for order at my adoptable shop starting Wednesday February 4th, alongside new Sandsurge and Undertide bases. Go check it out!

#artists on tumblr #clip studio paint #flight rising #fr #adoptables #ych #thorntail #first posting #thorntails were probably the fastest adopt i've ever taken from thumbnail -> sketch -> lines XD #they're just peak creature.#i really wanted to give them a customization where they're doing lil jazz hands but I couldn't make it work XD #maybe someday!#for now you get the squirrel hand/arm posture #creatures
