I've been enjoying a lot of HK/Silksong & MIO fanart here so I decided to share my contribution as well: mostly little doodles on various mediums (they helped me a lot when I had an art block)
However I haven't drawn fanart since, so this is all I got for now.

Resharing some recent OC art because why not ✌️
Desmond, dwarf rogue barbarian, is my character in my second campaign (same universe as Simone but hundreds of years ago on a different continent). He's a war veteran turned mercenary, now hired to help a resistance movement within an elven empire that conquered his home and now oppressed his kind.
Me playing Simone: *loves using Disguise Self, Dissonant Whispers, Shatter & Aid, loves magical items, has backstory about her and her band playing magical music*
Me playing Desmond: *rage & slash people with daggers yayy sneak attack yayy reckless attack yayy frenzy, no need to worry about spellcasting and shit*
Here's another NPC from Simone's backstory, and part of the polycule (Simone x Hector x Vivian), together with some very summarized lore:
Hector Sterling, half elf musician and instrument maker, was known for his innovations in magical music and audio recording technology. He formed a band with his best friends & lovers Simone and Vivian, planning to travel the whole world. But the anti-magic empire in their path ruined everything.. One day after a shocking twist, Hector and Vivian were arrested for rebellion against the empire, only Simone managed to escape. Now his fate is unknown, but it seems the inquisition has acquired some of his skills.. how could this be?
And some more art of him:
Finally, the inspiration behind his face / hair was my older design interpretation of The Historian from Ayreon The Source (concept album), and by extension his singer James LaBrie. But I diverged quite a bit from that.
Yes they were in fact made to be matchy !!! Both of these were for a DTIYS challenge on BlueSky because I loved the pose, and I mean why not draw the enemies in the same pose? 👀

Here's the antagonist in Simone's backstory: Tommy the inquisitor. Once a friend, then traitor. Find some lore below these images but it's very summarized:
Thomas / Tommy used to be a folk woodwind musician living peacefully in a glorious empire. He joined Simone's band, but later learned that they were spellcasters and rebels against his home. After some internal conflict, he took matters into his own hands and got them arrested (but Simone escaped).
Now he's an inquisitor climbing up the ranks, thus ending his flutist career. His motives and fate are unknown, but it seems he got his hands on Hector's recording tech, and he's contributing to an invasion on the neighboring free city harboring mages and fugitives (does he know Simone is there?)
Here's some more art of him during various moments of the story (while the first 2 pieces are him in the present, these are from the past)
(bro has a lot of hairstyle changes, will be a nightmare to make a reference sheet)
His design and name were secretly inspired by Thomas Giles from Between The Buried and Me (particularly the long hair & beard phase, and his younger self) but shh 🫣

Btw this is one of 2 pieces I want to use to host a DTIYS challenge on bluesky, but I'm wondering if anyone here on Tumblr would be interested in a DTIYS here as well?
Also, off-topic but I just wanted to share a song that makes me think of my OCs, it could very well be the one Simone is listening to through the magical recording disk:
(I HATE THAT THE TUMBLR MUSIC FEATURE IS JUST SPOTIFY ☠️☠️ but that's all I got 😭)
With the occasion of Mermay I recently dug up some old artwork from 2021 featuring alien fish people, it was basically fanart for Ayreon's concept albums The Source and 01011001. Thought I'd share them here because why not. I'm no longer into Ayreon but it has a special place in my heart, I really loved these concept albums and made fanart of my own interpretations / designs of the characters 🥹♥️
Might share more old Ayreon fanart that I actually still like later if I feel like it, even if mermay is over.
