sketchbook stuff

a picture of a sketchbook spread done in ink and markers. The image depicts a cabinet of curiosities: shelves showing a collection of weird little things including bones, jars with eyes, skulls and tiny people, some shelves are overgrown by nature, some have faces looking through. There is also a cat sleeping on one, and a Rain World reference tucked in because I'm playing it right now :)

Another sketchbook piece i've been meditating over in recent weeks, little Cabinet of Curiosities.

Really enjoying having something like this on the side to doodle on.

Small painting with a stylized red horse in the middle, carrying a flag that is attached on the saddle it has on the back. The background is dark greyish green with golden stars and a circle behind the horse's head. The red horse has a detailed saddle piece with some extra parts going in front and back of it. Mohawk mane and short tail, both cream colored. The flag is very long and also has some details in it made with the same colors as the others which is yellow, red, white and same green that is on the background.

the flag carrier! this one i'm tempted to keep myself..

some meditative doodling from last week

An art nouveau-style illustration of Tyranny from Critical Role. Tyranny is a pink-skinned tiefling with yellow goat-like eyes, upright horns, claws, and a devilish tail. She wears teal-blue robes with ruffles and celestial embroidery, as well as a matching headdress. She has straight white hair that flows past her shoulders and short bangs. In the frame behind her are motifs of the lunar cycle, a sun, and flaming hearts wrapped in thorny vines with arrows through them.

what do you know, I’m just a bad believer 💘

started playing Draw Steel so I doodled my character, Opaline! She was created by the goddess of time and space herself to assist the monarch of a nation in a terrible war against dragons. Opaline loves learning about "human culture" and is basically an alien.
Her class is Chronopath/Time Mage! ⏳
