Hello, children of the night, humans, aliens, monsters, and all the wonderfully strange beings in between...
I'm RedInkOnly.
A selftaught traditional artist working mainly with pencil and charcoal. Most of my work lives in black and white. Colouring and I are still negotiating the terms of our relationship.
Digital art may join the journey eventually.
I am also a gamer, a Dungeon Master, and very much enjoy being a player whenever I get the chance. I am a collector of far too many creative obsessions and never quite enough time to explore them all as much as I would like. 😌
I have never really been active on social media until recently, so this is me slowly stepping into it for the first time. 😅
I would genuinely love to become part of a community that enjoys art, storytelling, fandoms, characters, and all kinds of creative chaos. ♥️
And just to be clear... I am not new to fandoms or inspiration. I have simply never shared much of it before. Over the years I have wandered through many worlds drawn to The X-Files, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Gravity Falls, Borderlands, and many more that never truly left my imagination and ocean of inspiration. Some of them may find their way here eventually. Others are already quietly shaping what I create. 😌
If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I have an undeniable weakness for complicated characters.🙄
The morally questionable ones. The theatrical ones. The manipulative, charismatic, beautifully written disasters. Villains, antiheroes, morally grey figures, fallen heroes, and those who somehow manage to be terrifying, fascinating, and occasionally just a little bit pathetic... all at the same time.😏
Those are usually the characters that refuse to leave my mind and inevitably find their way into my art (again). 😌
My current artistic obsession happens to be Baldur's Gate 3 and Raphael has claimed a particularly comfortable corner of my brain. But stories have a habit of finding me, and this place is not limited to one world or one character.♥️
You will also meet my OC eventually, along with fragments of her story. Whether anyone besides me will become hopelessly invested in her remains to be seen.
She existed long before Baldur's Gate 3 entered my life, so she has simply learned to adapt to new worlds and new obsessions.
She also comes with a rather extensive amount of lore. There is a whole story, years of history, complicated relationships, and far more details than I could ever fit into one neatly organised place.
I do not have an AO3 account or a carefully arranged archive where everything exists in perfect chronological order. Most of her story has simply lived in my head for years, occasionally finding its way onto paper in scattered notes and fragments. And time is, unfortunately, a limited resource... turning all of that into something coherent is a project of its own.
So instead, I will share her world piece by piece. You may come across fragments of lore, character dynamics, conversations, sketches, scenes, drawings, and little glimpses into her story whenever inspiration decides they are ready to be shared. 😌
Think of it less as reading a finished book and more as discovering a world through scattered pages, memories, and moments. Hopefully, over time, all those little pieces will slowly come together. 😌
Around here you will find reposts I enjoy, traditional sketches, fanart, original lore, OC fragments, occasional projects, screenshots, and sometimes 18+ content.
Feel free to send me a message if you would like to chat, ask something, or simply say hello. ♥️
I cannot promise a lightning fast reply. Between family, hobbies, art, and whatever obsession currently has me in its claws, it may sometimes take me a little while to answer.
