{A love that burns softly} “Imagine it! A world where you and I can live like this, but out there! Maybe we could have our own tavern, or travel around Verdelmir, see all the things we’ve only heard or read about!” *Oh Neri… It does sound like a lovely dream. But that’s all it is, an unlikely, no, impossible dream…*

Happy valentines day :3 ❤️💙

I had to draw my 2 squishies together, and as I did so, this happened to become the opening scene of the entire comic...

#Armalucis #Webcomic #Fantasy #art

The 6 characters of the main cast of my comic Arma Lucis in sectioned portraits. Left to right - Pyrrhus, Nereus, Layla, Seren, Aaliyah, Connlan

I made New #Art!

Decided to make a sectioned piece with each of the main cast of #ArmaLucis.

I made it in about a week for a market stall I had recently, though I think I might make some bookmark versions next time. could be fun.

Chibis of Pyrrhus, Nereus and Layla

Chibis of Seren, Aaliyah, and Connlan

Its time for "Dawn finally remembered Bsky exists and she has art to show off"

This time is the chibi drawings of my characters that I've been planning for months.
Yes I did use this opportunity to make some design updates. you know how it is

Lachlan (Twin Brother of Alistair from day 7) stands in his cell at the gladiatorial barracks, light streaming in casting a shadow on the wall that wears the champions crown, and depicts the shards of his broken horn and scars from a damaging poison that weakens his magic

Day sixteen of #Taletober - Crown
Lachlan is a gladiator who was close to winning freedom, only to have the champions crown he'd held for 2 years taken unfairly

Meade Bramblewood, co-owner of the Bramblewood Inn with their sister Melissa. They're serving someone a drink with a wink, I wonder who it could be....

After a heavy defeat, the party flees to a crumbling fortress, Castello Perenne, Aaliyah’s old home. It was once home to a community of druids, until the Kokinos family declared war on ‘deviant magic’, which was any magic they weren’t able to fully control. Aaliyah was one of the only survivors of the raid, and has vowed to get justice for her people.

Day thirteen of #Taletober - Tower
Aaliyah sits up on one of the towers of Castello Perenne, a place she once called home.

Took a slightly different interpretation of the word as in 'musical key' as I was getting stumped on what people normally think of in my planning. This is the counterpart to Myrna from day 11, Finn Sterling, Bard of Masks and and elemental channeller. Here he's channelling the element of fire with help from his fox mask (foxes being creatures of fire) upon a channellers pedestal (ancient locations where people would first learn magic) You could say the pedestal is a 'key' to unlocking magic

Day twelve of #Taletober - Key
Finn Sterling channels fire through the channellers plinth with his music, aided by his fox mask. Counterpart to day 11

#Drawtober #Artober #Taletober2025 #Drawtober2025 #Artober2025 #OriginalCharacter #ArtChallenge #OctoberChallenge #ArmaLucis

Myrna plays her lute, casting a spell to illuminate the dark, revealing what is hiding, and purifying what is corrupted

Nereus sends a message off via the large sending stone in the temple.

Day nine of #Taletober - Letter
A prequel to day 8, where Nereus is sending the letter that will get Pyrrhus to the temple so he can give him the sword.

#Drawtober #Artober #Taletober2025 #Drawtober2025 #Artober2025 #OriginalCharacter #ArtChallenge #OctoberChallenge #ArmaLucis

“Pyrrhus stared at his sword conflicted as Nereus watched on. He lost this sword the day he went over the side of the boat and ended up in the Hidden Hollow. Apparently it had washed up not too long ago on the same beach he did back then. Perhaps it’s a sign from the gods that he must take up arms once again.”

Day eight of #Taletober - Sword
Another canon event :3 This is part of the ‘accepting the call’ story beat where Pyrrhus is given his sword back by Nereus.

Getting back into doing personal art after enough time resting from university. Working on proper character reference sheets for my Arma Lucis characters, thought I'd show the first WIP.
