My first Tumblr post! It's been so long since I've been here...
.

This is my OC Leon! He's a little angry...
attack i did on @/annuakiablue on artfight !! chara name is aria she is cool
(just found this in drafts time to queue this shit up)
anyways we have today: my friends character mack in a jester outfit, some freaks, volcanic god concept, another freak, and a concept.,., for a guy.,.,., bird thing.,.,
workin on my nyx (stolen name of my god of night lmao) design and other related things. decided to use my character baetyl (who is a night angel) for my last illustration project of the semester so thats been my motivation.
^ this is the sketchh for it. i like how it looks so far <3
and here are the sketches from where i was working on revamping her design.
lore below vvv
some basic info is that she is the head of the main pantheon in the world. in terms of religion popularity the sun god is way bigger but hes dead so its kinda hard to be in charge. both the sun and night god are some form of gnc, ive decided theyre the primordial she/they and he/they-ers. uhhh shes got two daughters (the two moons), one bigger and one smaller which is reflected in a lot of the design. (she loves her weird freak neurodivergent daughters.)
uhhh the night angels (my oc baetyl being the only one designed lmao) are the main angels of the world. do all the enforcing she requires and such.,., theres also sun angels but theyre less of a.,., species? group? theyre more just a couple of freaks.
Nyxes pantheon is pretty much the main one, and she has the most power outside of a few notable gods who aren’t particularly interested in contesting her throne.
also a fun similarity between her and the sun god is the wings, shes got bat and hes got dragon wings (pretty much the same thing).
seems like ive never posted baetyl before so heres his design
hunted down a random older sun god drawing as well for reference. this is no longer accurate but its close enough :shrug:
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.,.
concepts for a local deity i made a but ago and remembered that it was fucking cool so i developed it more !!!
some lore if you would like:
local deity worshipped by a group of people, deity was once a creature living in the outskirts of the old growth woods in a time before it receded. it was found inside of a large hollowed tree trunk where it had been for god know how long. it would have had a species when it was still normally alive but they are all extinct now. (making it the last of its kind, or maybe not even that considering its been deified.)
it was pretty neutral towards the people there at first, did not really give a fuck. but over time has become more attached. this is helped by the fact that the religious figures of the group modify their bodies and wear clothing to look like the creature, and they become even more similar over time.
religious figures (some sort of shaman/priest deal im not sure yet) have their outfits to look like the creature, masks with feathers, a cape/cloak? with feathers, the scarf to match the neck, and so on. they also wrap their bodies tightly in cloth strips to compress their limbs and lengthen them. (to match the gangly ass look of the creature)
ITS FINISHEDDD
af attack on user @/-candycat- over there. i once again attempted a bg for this piece bc he was so small and adventurous.
i love posting a lot sporadically before disappearing again. anyways i scoured my photo library for recent sketches and things. these two are the best i drew rook so pretty (his jawline should not be that damn sharp he is a round man but we will ignore it.)
also i really like the first one it was a sketch for an assignment that i didnt end up goin with. but i might work on it at some point.,., its fun.
and heres the sketch dump section more info below
we have a weird crab i made, it was more alien than fantasy so i had to put it in a different world (have a more spec bio world with friends that is underdeveloped). made the crab, decided hed be in some sort of rocky tide pool environment, and then designed the mudskipper adjacent fellow, snails, and some fishes to go with him :)
