Today I aim to finish up 3 commissions on stream!
(Well, I'll try!)
I also have a lil' announcement for the beginning of the stream.
So I'll be showing my face again~
These characters belong to Eden Sandoval, Melanie Vandouk and Margot Primrose !

Pencil sketch of the side profile half-body of an anthro arctic hair. His paw-like hands are raised in front of him, and he's wearing a cloak.
Haven't shared a sketch in a while (did this a while back, still on my drawing hiatus 😑), so here's one that's been on my mind a lot today. Clothes I've always been horrible with so I just kinda phone them in, like this cloak here.

A man with messy blond curls and a mug in hand reaches out to a weird, glossy, cartoonish pig with a little smile on its face. A chunk of text reads: "His dad had given him a front row seat to the kind of man he didn’t want to be back when he was way too young to regard the brute who terrorized his mom as a monster he might become. It was a low bar, though. One he had managed to surmount, but the distance between who he was and who he felt like he ought to be was a gulf so vast you could toss in a rock and never hear it hit the bottom."
Alternate-Reality Boden justifiably confused that his pig appears to be a class curio.
(yes obviously it's weird that Rosco is like floating, that didn't register until I was done)

A black and white drawing of a young black man in a nightshirt sitting propped up in bed with a book open on his lap. There is a significant bandage over the right side of his face, covering his right eye. The one eyebrow you can see is raised, his attention on his reading. A chunk of text reads: "He had begun his new life under an assumed name in an effort to find himself, but there were times when he questioned the experiment. Burat was an ordinary fellow, and he had never been sure what ‘ordinary’ meant. Sometimes it felt like he was playing a part. Not being the person he wasn’t sure he wished to be, fine, but he had traded it for pretending to be someone he knew he wasn’t."
Mar is from a Medici-level infamous family and enrolls at the Complex under a pseudonym (that doesn't fool anyone but his friends).

In a dark place, a beautiful woman in a long robe sits with her knees to her chest, arms wrapped around them. Her dark hair is coming down. A block of text beside her reads: "She had been told these cells were impervious to a mage’s powers, but she had taken too many things on faith lately. That people could be trusted to obey the rules, that treating people in a certain way would cause them to reciprocate. That she knew how to differentiate friends from enemies. Taking things on faith was a habit she meant to break."
Realized today it had been a while since I made one of these, so here's Dyafer in a real dark night moment. I like the vibe but could have put more work into it so, idk, may go back later.

A comical sketch A young woman is chasing after a robotic cleaning cube. The young woman is shouting: "Wait, Charles no! Don't vacuum your costume!!" To her right, Charles the cleaning cube is most certainly (and happily) vacuuming up his ghost sheet costume. Credit in the corner reads: meharker.com
A little belated but...
🎃🏃 Happy Halloween!! 👻🧊
Here's a sketch of Casey and Charles celebrating!
(The costume did not survive 👀)

Drawing of a man's face from the front. In color! His skin is very pale, his eyes hazel, his hair dark brown and curly.
first attempt to use color
literally ever
(I chose Mairid bc I knew if anything could keep me motivated it would be him)
I'm not happy really but do feel now like yeah this is something I'm going to be able to figure out how to do with enough practice
#authorart
Portrait of a young man's face. He has a straight nose, stern lips, strong jaw, straight dark hair cut short, arching brows, eyes with an epicanthic fold. Text reads: Shisum Moeri Born in: Sherun Secter: Anyimar Class: Best Friend Subclass: The Voice of (Unwanted) Honesty Athleticism: unparalleled Wit: super sarcastic Honor: scoffs at the idea Iconoclasm: not a rebel for rebellion's sake, but a rebel nonetheless Fatal Weakness(es): quartet of dickbag brothers Bonus Roll(s): asks the right questions.
Been a while since I posted one of these.

3 men, 2 standing, one seated between them. The man on the left has dark skin, is dressed all in black, and has his lips quirked like something is amusing to him. The one on the right is watching the other two, seeming startled. The man in the middle is swaddled in multiple shawls and blankets. His hands, in mittens, lie upturned in his lap and he sits cockeyed in the chair, head off-center. The others carry swords but the seated man doesn't appear to.
New Mairid! If you wonder why his chair is all weird like it's levitating, this is bc it is in fact in the air: Ramsu is carrying him. He just almost died hideously and is extremely weak but won't go lie down like a sensible person. Yes, Ramsu made all his cute wooly accoutrements.
#authorart
Image of a man's face. He has curly dark hair, pale skin, full lips, pronounced epicanthic folds, eyes that aren't especially dark or pale. He's not young anymore but shows no signs of aging. Mairid Miran, the Atsises Born in: Sherun Secter: Dsiabor Class: Trickster Subclass: The Scientist Athelticism: can trip on a flat floor Wit: flirtatious Honor: ha! Iconoclasm: grew into it late Fatal Weakness(es): fear of being seen Bonus roll(s): good at lying to people; 300yo genius
Feel like sharing one or two of these today. Mairid because he's my favorite.
#authorart #writesky
A boy man in a dark uniform caught in mid-action, having just sliced in half a piece of paper in the air with a sword. The paper bears a picture of a face and letters you can't read. Text on the image readsL Life in the army was slowly bringing into focus something Horus’d maybe always knowed but never before thought much about; he hadn’t even been sure how. By the time you got to be old enough to ask big questions – who am I? what’s it mean? – you’d already spent your whole life being told the answers by other people. They wasn’t in your head, and it was hard to see how they knew better, but still, was a long time you’d been listening to them.
Horus, killing the shit out of a piece of paper.
(Don't worry, the paper deserved it.)

Portrait of a very beautiful woman with black eyes and black hair worn up on her head elegantly. Dyafer Heron, the Mieneh Born in: Feinzad Secter: Sherun Class: The Lahar Subclass: Scapegoat Athleticism: middling Wit: self-aware Honor: the icon Iconoclasm: not interested Fatal Weakness(es): trying to save everyone; also, men Bonus Roll(s): capable of staying on topic; just a better person than most everyone else
Dy, my politician.
#authorart #MeetMyOC
Picture of a young woman with long, wavy dark hair, sword at her hip, striding in comfortable but filthy cotton clothes. Text reads: The moment she quit the private residence, she was passing people. People who stopped to stare, amazed. They were used to seeing her immaculate in a fabulous dress, but she wasn’t the Sea Queen, she was an Arbiter. She was just as glad to let them get a look at what that meant, hair tied back out of her face, coated in masonry dust and other people’s blood. She didn’t mind putting on a nice dress and playing civilized, but at the end of the day, it was a lie. One she would tell but wasn’t willing to live.
I'm at it again! Be amazed: it isn't another picture of Mairid! There are other characters and I *am* capable of drawing them 😂
#authorart
Two men are walking together. One is all in trim black, hand resting on the hilt of his sword; his skin is a medium brown, his dark hair cut off right at the scalp, his cheekbones sharp and prominent. He wears an expression of dismay. The man with him is pale, his only garment a sheet he clutches at his chest. His hair is dark and curly, his frame skinny, and he walks with his eyes on his feet. He wears a positively seraphic smile of evil entertainment.
I drew a scene from the series. First time these two speak, kind of in a dream; I guess we call it their Sheet Cute?
(Mairid and Ramsu from Tipping world)

Image of a young woman's face. She has medium-brown skin, wavy hair, and dark eyes. Alia Chastu(veran) Born in: exile Secter: Sherun Class: Hierophant Subclass: Raised by Wolves Athleticism: low Wit: too busy Doing the Right Thing to have time to have fun Honor: negotiable Iconoclasm: always the first to break the rules Fatal Weakness(es): Cf 'wit' Bonus roll(s): once tore a man limb-from-limb
It's Al, the first character you meet! She didn't just grow up in exile, she grew up unaware she grew up in exile, so she's got a lot of surprises in store for her up front.
#authorart #MeetMyOC
Picture of a young man's face. He's quite young, with black hair in loose curls, black eyes, and arching brows. Text on the image reads like a playing card: Horus Menek Born in: Feinzad Secter: none Class: Commander of the Mage Corps Subclass: The Disciple Athleticism: unreal Wit: laughs... once Honor: would do anything for a cause he believes in Iconoclasm: wrestles with internalized bullshit Fatal Weakness(es): temper, temper Bonus Roll(s): tight with his parents, has a mean horse that hates everyone else
Another one! Horus was one of my all-time favorite characters to write bc his voice was so striking. Not educated, heavy vernacular, deep introspective streak for a teenager.
#authorart #MeetMyOC 🪐📚
Image of a man's face. He has tightly-curled blond hair, pale skin, a squashed nose, and a scar across one eyebrow. Boden Resten Born in: Pathmelon Secter: New Towtiel Class: Fuck No Subclass: Warrior with Nothing to Lose Athleticism: on of the Greats Wit: sarcastic and mean except vs. young people Honor: disdains the concept Iconoclasm: the OG Fatal Weakness(es): love Bonus roll(s): love
Boden's stat card. Fell in love when he was 14, mad af about it. He sounds like David Sedaris in my head. Incidentally, my mom's favorite character.

Ink drawing of a Black woman with cropped black hair. Coloured in markers with a carmine background.
#authorart
Been drawing a lot to try & rebuild my skills. I was really happy with how this one turned out, but scanning always flattens the blending on my colouring. Messed around with this one in Krita though to try and get it to look more like it does IRL.
Qwella, from The Wings of Ashtaroth,
A pen sketch on a Post-It note of a large corpse like body. It's face is obscured, with only eyes/nose holes and a gaping mouth visible. It's using its arms to pull up and drag its torso across the ground, with the lower half missing. A poorly-formed rib cage is also partially visible.
I put my current art frustration into a sketching a creepy. It perfectly encapsulates the mood.
#authorart
A young woman with a narrow, pointed nose. Her skin has a moderate amount of pigment, her brows are long, and her eyes are pale. Her long, wavy, dark hair is pulled back in a bun at the nape.
Al, my FMC! She wound up looking rather bummed, but before you suggest she smile more, do bear in mind this young woman has torn a person limb-from-limb.
#authorart
Black and white drawing of a man's face. His skin has some color, and he has a five o'clock shadow. His eyes are spaced far apart and very dark. His hair is cut very close to the scalp. His has thick, slanting brows and an upturned nose.
so... hard... not to talk about why I drew Ramsu next...
Anyway, Mage Taile for your entertainment!
#authorart
I drew him without his vylles, and yeah it's kind of a cop-out since he famously has more than anyone else in the world. There is, tho, a several-hour-period in book 9 where his face is completely bare of ink, so thbbbbt it's still canon. #authorart
Side profile of a man with back-swept hair. He's looking down, tolerating someone teasing him.
Some success in my drawing session today! Technically this is only half the drawing, but the other part came out REAL bad! 😩 Trying to get away from my habit of loooong eyes. Still having way too mych fun with wavy hair.
#authorart
Pencil sketch side profile of a person with half-slit eyes and wispy, flowy hair.
Pencil sketch side profile of an anthro cougar. She is missing her eye, displaying a large scar in its place, and is wearing a dark cloak with a veil pulled back.
More practice in! I need to work on side profiles of people more, I feel like I'm getting somewhere! I also need to practice with clothes... I keep phoning it in each time. Also forgot to include the proper cougar markings like last time to keep consistent. Ah well...
