PRESENTATION!!!

I was going out of my MIND trying to draw character likenesses, and took a break to draw something without a human face instead.

Only to hit another wall because how in the Hells does one draw an Illithid ... two Illithids?? Multiple Illithi???

Anyway, here are some sketches I didn't utterly hate 🦑

Look

At some point you’ve got to take a step back and realize your race may have overdone it with the ‘breeding perfection’ thing and gotten just a little too damn tall

Quartervirus' UC Neopets: 🦇 DARIGAN Edition 🦇

It's long overdue, ugly as hell, and the code so basic even Web 1.0 is shaking its head, but after sitting on them for months I have FINALLY uploaded my Darigan Neopet Redesigns to

Dregnost the Krawk's PetPage!

The restoration of old, unconverted art via NCUCs has made all my 12-year-old Dreamies come true and I will be singing TNT's praises forever for that. However, there are still so many Paint Brushes out there and many more designs that feel uninspired to me.

I have been playing Neopets virtually nonstop since 2003 and credit the site for turning me onto art and the games industry as a career. It has been instrumental in my development as an artist and whetted my appetite for creativity and storytelling, and it has been an honour to work with them in an official capacity this year, and so much fun trying my hand at adapting the art I thought could use improving with these redraws.

If you like these designs, please feel free to share them (with proper links and credit) on the Neoboards or appropriate, official channels! Who knows, maybe if we get enough eyes on them TNT might make one or two of these official!

Or better yet, hire me for the job!

I'll draw your Neopets for you!!

If there are any fellow Neopians out there, feel free to drop me a Neomail or send a Neofriend request! But please do tell me who you are so I know who I'm adding.

Partners in Crime

It was @gelly-art's Birthday back in August! 🎉 And since she's been dealing with a ton of stress, life's been kicking her in the teeth, and we've both been neck deep in Baldur's Gate 3, I wanted to do a little something to take her mind off things.

To that end I Cameo'd Neil Newbon, asked him to wish her a Happy Birthday, and drew her Drow, Zumara, alongside Astarion as they leave a trail of broken hearts and broken-er ribs across Faerûn. 🎂

One of the hotfixes nerfed Sussur Blooms, Gelly's favourite method for dispatching Balthazar, and she's still salty about it. Until such a time as she can reverse-pickpocket them again, I hope this picture and the memories of the OG "Sussurstarion" will suffice...

Happy Birthday, ya big nerd!! 💙

Antidote

Between a full time job, contract work, and day-to-day obligations personal art has taken a real nosedive this year. Add to that @gelly-art gifting me Baldur's Gate for Christmas and you have a recipe for disappearing me straight into the void.

Or up into the Nautiloid, as it were.

But after months chipping away at the game between back-to-back NDAs, utterly failing to maintain any sort of personal routine in favour of sitting at my computer, and over 400+ hours of gameplay later, I can proudly say I have finally finished just ONE full playthrough!💀

I definitely did not see that ending coming – and outright missed a Certain Big Reveal until Gelly yelled at me to roll back (of which I am very grateful. You were right, it was worth finding thank you for that) – but I had a TON of fun! I am already well into my second playthrough, but as I am still discovering new options, alternative endings, and even some areas I missed the first time around –

SSHHHPTHTHHSHHTT! NO SPOILERS!!

NONE!!

SHUT!!

Mama K

In lieu of being anywhere near hugging distance when they needed it most, I enlisted Karlach to give @gelly-art's Balim a big ol' hug in my stead.

Always, I wanna be with you And make believe with you And live in harmony, harmony Oh love~

My online activity has been pretty dead for the last 6 months and I apologize if my absence gave anyone a scare, that was not my intention!

I've been very busy this year. When I'm not drawing for work full time I have been illustrating contract work, and when I'm not doing that … well, I've been doing THIS.

@gelly-art gifted me Baldur's Gate 3 for Christmas and, after 3 months chipping away at it, over 400 hours, and several rollbacks and reloads later, I can finally say I have completed just ONE full playthrough.

I had a ton of fun and there are so many more pieces and comics I hope to get around to eventually, but in the meantime here's my piece for Pride Month 2024, squeaking by juuuuusssttt short of the deadline!

Kiss Me Like You Hate Me

I didn't plan on Ophelia's public debut to involve her getting it awnnn, but here we are. 🔥

Surprising absolutely no-one, running with these pack of ingrates as a Priestess of Selûne gets you some funny dialogue, not least where Shadowheart is concerned.

It turns out there was a bugged cutscene meant to play after gifting Shadowheart the Idol of Shar, but it didn't work for me. I haven't been back to see it myself yet, wanting to draw what I imagined actually happened before I knew what I was missing. It's basically just lots of passionate angry-snogging.

Get it out of your system, girls.
