Floral Sphinx

older drawing,., this is angel au vers. of my friends cowboy joan. love her.

character up top is named willow (hes a cowboy/pirate in another universe but a selkie in this one)

i have like no proper sketches of this bc it’s difficult to draw but ive been figuring out selkies in my fantasy world. So far ive decided that they turn their skin into a cocoon within which they transform between human/seal. And going with the classic wearing their skin as a coat or clothing item bc its fun and fresh.

Solitary species, women notably larger than men (based on leopard seals). Each individual has their own unique pattern (like a fingerprint) that stays on their fur when they change into a human form. Their size as a seal is also the exact same weight and whatnot as when in human form, so it transfers over evenly.

Also some cultural shit where selkies are considered good luck and fisherman/sailors avoid messing with selkies to avoid bad luck + getting killed, but others who aren’t familiar with them occasionally try and steal their furs (very strong and protective material that also happens to be pretty).

They mingle among humans in order to steal fish from fishermen usually. Fishermen let it slide bc selkies are useful and can find fish schools easily + avoid bad weather.

More blinkies for my ocs on artfight!

I'm still sick but I had to draw one thing and then lie back down.

i think this is the last of my artfight attacks? its of my friends charas reeves and ai, by @/bonesbonesbone and @/fishies on artfight. also they are gay cowboys <3

hello tumblr i spent all of yesterday thinking up fairy designs and lore i actually kinda like them.

here are some cropped parts from the less comprehensible page

it was fun to figure out the life stages (basic bug metamorphosis but humanoid). i spent so long learning about butterflies yesterday.

anyways they’re divided into two classes, sun worshipping elitist weirdos, and the normal ones that are chill. I also decided to give them a sort of eusocial insect societal organization but the chill ones would be a bit less intense in that aspect.

they’re like.,., 1 1/2 feet tall? and live in little fairy cities.

here is yet another ref i did for artfight. transfemme 1800s cowboy gang leader. me n my friends have so many cowboys and aus so we’ll see how much cowboyposting i do.

mid sketches of what i would refer to as body piles (drawing a bunch of bodies interacting for practice). i need to do more anatomy drawing it would fix me. havent done this in so long.,.,.,

also just remembered i have a cowboy drawing to post that i did for my illustration class.,., might queue it.,.
