A cropped section of a digital illustration showing a character with tan skin, eyes with black sclera and multicolored irises, and short hair with buzzed sides. The lower portion of their hair, which is buzzed, is brown. The fluffy upper pair fades from brown at the roots to white, then to orange at the tips.

In this image, the character is holding a hand to their face with a fearful expression, concerned as they come to realize the nature of their, uh, life situation. There are strings of magic pulling at their hand, and part of the rest of the painting depicts scenes of war and destroyed buildings behind them.

In this image, the character also has a hand to their face but it's a digital artwork drawn in a different style (2 years older). They are wearing armored gloves (fingerless), and again have strings pulling at their person, dictating their every move.

In this image, the character is much happier (lol). Part of another person's face is visible, and the primary character is sticking their tongue out at him as their noses brush.

to reference a post I made on Tumblr: Ev's hair wasn't always like this. prior to their resurrection, it was all brown. the color gradient and the glowing just so happens to be their bioluminescent ziojic trait 🤷

A digital illustration of two character standing on an ethereal, grassland-like plain with a glowing door before them. One character is taller with black hair, a shimmering transparent cape, and a thin halo around their head. The other also has long hair, but is painted in more grayscale colors.

The plain around them is painted in purples and blues, with glowing specks of light scattered throughout.

The taller character (in this version) says “You don’t have to choose this.” The shorter one responds “I know.”

The same painting without the word bubbles. Some more notes on the painting: brush strokes and stray hairs. Different layers of grass. Black marks on the taller character’s arms that become lighter the further up they go.

Antagonist concept art for Broken Dimensions: Fractal Alliances.

The illustration shows a woman in armor and torn fabric standing at an odd angle. She has grand wings, but in addition to the fully feathered set, she also has 2 additional sets of inky black, molting, bony ghosts of wings. The same inky black shadows are creeping and winding up her disfigured legs and up her body as blue magic crackles across her arms like lightning.

An inverted blue triangle (which is supposed to show her emblem but I didn’t draw it there) glows at the base of her throat. I’ve Rhea’s head is a ghostly blue halo or magic, as well as a pointed, triangular emblem (here) which glows over her forehead.

In the dim black of the space above her, a faint scythe symbol can barely be seen, haloed faintly in blue.

Character: Adira Eagriss, corrupt queen turned megalomaniac, self-experimenting mad scientist (and perpetrator of a genocide).

The same image as previous, generally, but with color alterations. Instead of an overall blue and black color scheme, some of the lighting is tinged green as well. A subtle change, but definitely adds some atmosphere.

Another variant in which the underlighting has an orange hue and the blue of Adira’s magic has been carved out as well. A starker color contrast overall.

A final variant with the most color. Purples, blues, greens, gold, and reddish pink. There is more color to her magic as well, and the e gradient map have been layered and manipulated to create the most color-diverse version of this illustration. It’s probably my favorite, personally.

I actually have several iterations of that piece! I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted them here yet :)

A digital painting of a character in armor holding a smoking blaster. The lighting is harsh and hot, like they’re standing over a pit of fire. Rings of red and blue magic circle their wrists and head, and angular symbols adorn their forehead and both shoulder pads.

A colorful digital illustration featuring two characters dancing and the song title "Small Town Scandal," yes the one by Zolita. The one on the left, Wilson Alder, is a brown man with long, curly hair pulled back into a ponytail with lots of loose fly-aways. He's in jeans, a workshirt with rolled up sleeves, and work boots, and he's grinning bright. His partner, Pitch, is a living android with generally humanoid features and a metal audio receptor band that goes from ear to ear around the back of his head. He's also grinning like mad as he dances with Will. He's in a tanktop, jeans, fingerless gloves, and combat boots. A heart floats between them, and it's implied they are dancing to the song itself.

The illustration is done in a warm color palette with oranges, pinks, and purples. The brightest point is the space around Will and Pitch, who seem to glow with the energy of the mood and their affection for one another. Will and Pitch are also submerged in the color palette, not colored in with their usual schemes.

Both characters are in motion, pulling one another's hands and swinging around mid-step.

Another one I'm resharing because I just finished that thing with the Lycanthra cast and those Pitch and Will sketches, and I needed to be reminded these two get a few months of romantic satisfaction before... uh... the plot happens lol

A character design concept for Ev Stark, one of the main characters of the artist's original project, Fractal Alliances. Ev is an average height, masculine character with androgynous presentation. They have tan skin marked with orange bands visible on their face, wrists, and biceps, as well as many scars. Here, their hair has been freshly cut to have a short fade and a fluffy top; their hair is brown at the roots and turns white and orange on the longer parts (magic effect). They have eyes with dark sclera and pink around their iris and pupil. Their expression is stoic, their hands are curled into fists at their sides.

Ev's outfit design here was done for a gala event in a part of the current wip story with FA. They're wearing a base layer black tank top that reaches partway up their neck, as well as a sheer overlayer dress shirt that is a warm brown tone. The dress shirt is cuffed at mid-arm length. Ev is also wearing brown, multi-tone pants with many pockets and padded knees. They're in their trademark armored boots, which are black with metal plating over the arch, toe, and heel and have an orange and blue gravity manipulation orb over each ankle. On their right hip is a dagger holster which holds their genera'ka (Talkian council of generals) blade.

A digital illustration of a front-facing character: Pitch Alder(heart), a living android (android with a soul). He has dark gray synthskin, black hair, and half his face is painted a golden yellow. He’s wearing a red and black leather jacket bearing several patches, including the syndicate crest and the trans pride flag (for his kids and sibling, mostly). On each hip he has a suped up hand blaster in a stylized, colored holster. He’s also wearing combat boots, which have metal fasteners and an orange and blue ball near the ankle that is related to gravity manipulation magic.

He’s wearing a thick red aviator jacket bearing several patches, including the syndicate crest. He has red hair, a red tail, and a Jack Sparrow style goatee. His legs are digitigrade, and embedded in his heels are orange and blue circles near the ankle that are related to gravity manipulation magic. On each hip he carries a blaster in a custom holster.

A digital illustration of a front-facing character: Bronze Alderheart, a mostly humanoid living android. He has tan synthskin in three splotchy shades, designed to resemble vitiligo. Across his arms and legs are blue lines and design accents, and his fingertips are blue. He doesn’t carry any viable weapons, but he does have a purple HOLOpad. He’s wearing clothes than make him seem oddly reminiscent of a summer camp counselor: cargo shorts, hiking boots with high socks, a loose button up over a t-shirt.

A picture of an iPad screen that displays a procreate file. The shot shows part of 2 full-body character illustrations in full color (not rendered). One character is a vaguely canine anthropomorphic shadow creature with glowing orange teeth, purple-gray fur, and 2 visible weapons on their hips (a plasma gun and a knife). The other is a bear-like sentient android with black, teal, and yellow fur. He’s in a red cardigan and work pants.

She has pink markings and fur across her shoulders, her hair is pink, and she’s wearing a yellow crop top with a triangle print design across it. She’s sticking her tongue out at the character to her right (viewer left) (her brother).

Early in December I finished sketching a character lineup of the general Lycanthra cast to turn into color/design refs, and I’m currently almost done!!

Here’s a quick look at the cast :)

A messy digital painting/sketch of a man who is vaguely identifiable as being from a fantasy setting. The biggest tip-offs are the glowing, swirly magic hair and the long canine-like ears. He’s washed out by the lighting a bit, but the figure is a brown man with dark hair, red magic swirling through it and flecking his beard.

He’s wearing a shoulder wrap shawl thing. It looks cozy. His expression is forlorn as he looks off into the vague distance.

A messy digital sketch of 3 characters grouped together like they’re ready to throw down. The woman on the left has a sci-fi pistol with a scope and magic headgear; the middle person has thigh holsters for two hand guns, plus glowing blue eyes and orange magic around their arms and head; the man on the right has fiery hair, runes in his arms, and knives.

In that order, the characters are Catie Davis from The Lycanthra Syndicate and Ev Stark and Fin Heran from Fractal Alliances. The sketch is set in the 2030s E-10 when these three briefly team up to root out some mindbreakers in the Iron Archipelagos (where Catie is from).

The sketch is on a gray background with varying shades used to create the shadows of the alleyway and on their persons.

Additionally, there is a series of written note on the bottom of the frame that say:

“Catie, Ev, and Fin get to fuck shit up in the Archs in the mid-2030s. The Black Market, enemy (to Lycanthra) territory, Order territory...”

“Ev goes incognito via glamour... but it's clear it's them if you know to look”

“Catie and Ev bond over guns, + Ev shows her will's old prototypes they've tinkered with.”

A pencil sketch of a man with two horns (maybe 8-10” for reference), fluffy hair, and long elf-like ears. He had a sharp, straight nose and a strong jawline and cheekbones. He’s also got freckles and gauges.

This sketch is just a bust (collar-up).

A pencil sketch of the man from the last pic getting enthusiastically kissed by a shorter masculine (?) person who has one hand on his hip pocket and one… elsewhere :)

Corrin is getting a little heated; he’s easily overwhelmed by physical stimuli and affection. (There’s a reason he live din his armor during his Vanguard days.) Jesse, the other party, is going to town lol.

Jesse also has short, curly hair and although you can’t tell because I done color most of my sketches and his features are small here, they are a mixed-race brown person. (They are also trans and genderqueer, but for the purposes of this sketch, they’re not at that point in the timeline yet lol. He’s still an egg.)

I have to keep reminding myself that even if I don’t have finished (or even digital) art to post, I can still post. It’s not illegal lol, and I do in fact sketch in pen and pencil more often these days.

so, have a rare sketch of Corrin and Jesse

A messy illustration of several armored characters with weapons in a darkened cityscape. At the end of the city avenue is the bright orange glow of daylight. In the far distance puff clouds and a floating city are visible.

Someone just out of the shot wields an angular scythe whose crook draws focus to the most distant character, near the a break in the tall buildings looking upward.

The two closest visible figures have glowing blue visors. Another figure in the mid ground faces towards the furthest character, which can be construed as loyalty to that character (and the ones with visors therefore being loyal (in some fashion) to the one wielding the scythe).

The colors of this concept piece are dark, vaguely purplish, with the bright parts being predominantly yellow, orange, and gold with some blue in the sky and visors.

A messy digital illustration of two characters during a hand-to-hand spar. Fin Heran, the one with the back tattoo and fiery hair, has Ev (orange-white hair, sweatpants, orange markings) pinned to a mat (not drawn in). 

There are lines to mimic the impact and their movements, and Fin has a word bubble that says "gotcha." Ev protests with a spiky bubble that says "HEY!"

Other details: The background of the piece is dark, but there is a red rectangle behind the two characters to emphasize the focal point. It could be more centered, lol. Fin is in athletic shorts and has his knee on Ev's hip/crotch. Ev is grinning despite having just lost a round. There's clearly some sexual tension going on here.

A closer crop of the same illustration, focused more on the characters' faces and close proximity. You can see Fin's freckles and his and Ev's scars better. It's also clear without zooming in that Ev is staring at Fin's hand on their shoulder. Also, their other hand is joined with his for some reason. Certainly not because Fin's gonna take this "pinning" thing out of the usual parameters for a spar... nope...

A cropped pencil sketch of two masculine characters kissing and topless. The slightly shorter on on the left, Ev, has one hand on Fin’s chest as they press up towards him and moan softly. Fin is very much enjoying that.

Details: Ev has a bite mark on their visible shoulder, and in this sketch they have their hair pulled back in a ponytail, leaving their undercut visible. Fin looks about the same as he usually does, but I drew his sideburns as, yk, actual sideburns and not a scraggly not-beard.

A wider crop of the previous sketch, which shows Ev cupping Fin’s ass and the ties of lingerie around their hips.

It’s also worth noting that Fin’s hand is supposed to be pressed against the mythical wall behind Ev, but this was at the edge of the page, so neither are visible. Whoops.

(couldn’t decide which crop to post, so y’all get both)

haven’t done a good Ev and Fin kiss for a while - had to rectify that ✨

A picture of a pencil sketch on grainy paper. The sketch depicts a light-haired woman smiling as her friend laughs into her shoulder, clutching her arm for stability.

The woman is Nyra Cyrinell, an oc with prophetic visions. The man is Nathan Shasear, the mage who helps her find the goddess of prophecy and who later becomes her best friend. 

Nyra is in a blue tank top and Nathan has blue stripes on his face. They are both happy, which is a first for me (they usually suffer lol).

A sketch of Nathan Shasear kissing the love of his life, Serra Tyrannis, full on the mouth. He has his hands on their neck and Serra is holding his waist. They seem happy.

A messy, not-quite-proportional pencil sketch of Alkaline Aviligne leaning his head atop Fin Heran's as Fin works from a holopad. Al has short hair here and is in a loose robe thing. He's smiling pleasantly, his arms crossed in front of Fin's chest. Fin looks utterly bored as he stares at his holopad, but he's probably comforted by Al's warmth and general presence.

A perspective pencil sketch of Pitch Alder, a living android with yellow bands across his body. He is sitting in a throne-like chair with a crown of magic around his head, his stance wide, one hand idly raised and the other draped across the arm of the chair. He is looking down at the viewer with a sense of smugness and superiority.

A grayscale, 1-page comic containing five panels of varying size. The focal character doing most of the speaking is Evansen Stark, a short-haired mixed-race masc person depicted here in armor with a sword over one shoulder. The quote used for the comic is that one Critical Role (?) quote about how laws are threats.

In panel 1, it's just Ev starting out with "Laws..." and then they go into the rest of the spiel and in panel 2 they're standing in a military camp over  several teenage rebels (namely Thelia and Markis Sparkes here).

In panel 3 they continue, with a small aside that says "not entirely unlike us right now" after the bit about how the "police are basically an occupying army." In panel 4 they kind of chuckle and say "y'know what I mean?"

The last panel is the largest and pans out to show Ev standing over the kids and asking if they want to make bacon. In the foreground in a darker shade, apart from the convo Ev is having, Fin and Talis stand aside together. Fin subtly asks Talis if Ev is an anarchist, and Talis says "yeah." Fin snort and says that's ironc (it is).

Ev would say this fr, just so y'all know.

A grayscale digital drawing of a 5-character line up titled "Prophecy Lost."

The first character is the tallest; Maikoa, the trickster god of BrDim. Here, they are very pale with dark tattoos and dark hair, and they have a grunge-like sense of style. And a spear. What's up with that?

The second character is Mia Vas Etrya, Maikoa's SIC in PL. She is darker than Maikoa (not.... she's not a human skin tone. Just an FYI here) and has her curly hair braided over one shoulder. She's dressed like a warrior with one pauldron and some light leg and arm gear, and combat boots.

The third character is our protag, Nyra Cyrinell! She's a lanky blonde human in simple clothes. She is twisting her fingers together in a self-soothing manner.

The fourth character is Sky, a short non-human a shade lighter than Mia. She has short, pale hair and a thin tail, and is clearly dressed in clothes a size too big for her (Nyra's). She has a bandana tied around her left bicep.

The final character is Nathan Shasear in his grad student era. He's in a tee and jeans, and boots that are visibly Doc Martens. He's also carrying a shitton of books and scrolls, and looks vaguely pissed that he's here at all.

Also: a little sneak peek into some work I've been doing for Prophecy Lost!

PL was an idea I came up with way back in 2019 pre-COVID (and pre-BrDim) that has since become a part of Broken Dimensions' lore. It's been fun to revisit and rework it!

A slightly edited picture of a pencil and highlighter sketch in a sketchbook. The sketch features a man in armor and a bright red cape, kneeling on one knee and looking at the viewer as he raises a hand and activates a glowing blue rune circle.

Around him are some lyrics from "Your Idol" from K-pop Demon Hunters. "Living in your mind now / Too late 'cause you're mine now / I will make you free when you're all a part of me"

Another picture of sketchbook page, this one featuring multiple pen sketches in blue-green and red. The sketch on top shows the same character as the previous pic after he's fallen to the ground. He appears to be actively trying to back away from the viewer/what's in front of him. He's blushing a little, but there's a chorus of recurring "FUCK FUCK FUCK" around his head as he tries to get away. A series of magic cords around his leg prevent him from doing so.

Beneath this first sketch are two smaller ones, one of which is a comic-like panel depicting Serra Tyrannis, a black vampire (and formerly Nathan's husband, though at this point in the story they are... not that). They are staring forward (at Nathan) and laughing tauntingly as they call out to him. Nathan stops struggling, and the next tiny doodle has Serra saying "gotcha :)" and Nathan saying "shit."

Another Nathan-only sketch in the same ink colors as the previous pic. More "Your Idol" lyrics. He is reaching out towards the viewer here, a hand outstretched, offering you solace/absolution/whatever you want if you just give up and ceded control of your mind/body/soul/magic :)

3 small, messy sketches of the same 2 characters in battle armor.

In the first sketch, Ev is being backed into a desk while trying to keep up with Fin’s flirting. In the second sketch, they’re on said desk as he leans on their thighs (this is a sketch from behind, and Fin’s tail is lashing side to side). In the third sketch, Fin’s flirting is working lol

An illustration of 2 people kissing with a slanted frame around them suggesting secrecy and not-quite-legality. Over the slanted frame is the title “House of Memories,” an inspiration song for this piece.

The two characters are Fin Heran and Evansen Stark from Broken Dimensions: Fractal Alliances.

Fin is a brown-skinned man with brown hair and sideburns, and in this illustration he is wearing earrings and a red-and-gold cape-shawl-thing.

Ev is a lighter-skinned person with white and orange hair currently flowing with magic. They are in blue and gray armor with blue and red design highlights. They have a fist balled in Fin’s cape.

Fin and Ev are shown form the shoulders up, gripping each other tightly as they part from an intimate kiss. A strand of saliva connects their lips still.

On the edges of the illustration on their respective sides there are emotes that read “we shouldn’t…” (Fin) and “we can’t…” (Ev). In the center, another note reads “but I want to.” This alludes to the fact that legally, neither of them can be with the other. Fin is the political leader of the largest sociopolitical coalition in Tartarus, and shouldn’t be “showing favoritism” to the Aetherian Emperor. Ev is the “Emperor” of Aetheria who actually had no rights and can’t legally have a partner.

Same as the previous image except the title is “I Wanna Go,” a song by Britney Spears, which was the original inspiration for the illustration I did 4+ years ago, which inspired this one.

A slightly edited photo of a pen and highlighter sketch. It features a bust of a man with short hair, square glasses, and a cape with a fur-lined hood. He looks very smug, and is quoting lyrics from Will Wood’s song “The Main Character.”

A digital drawing (lines, flat base colors, no shading) of a twenty-something man in a half-cape with a fur-lined top layer and hood. He has brown hair and six blueish facial markings (3 on each side of his face, 2 on each jaw). His eyes are white and he has dark sclera. He is clutching a leather sled tome.

His other clothes include worn-in black pants, a sheath with a dagger in his right hip, armored knee pads, and honest-to-god Converse sneakers. His laces display a green-to-white-to-blue gradient, aka the MLM gay flag! He is also wearing a green block pendant on a chain, and has ear gauges.

He appears timid, holding the time close as if he’s not supposed to have it.

A picture of an iPad screen featuring a sketch of a female antagonist. She has braided hair (Dutch? I think? Idk my braids), appears to be wearing substantial sci-fi armor, and has both canine-looking ears and 2 large wings. One of her eyes has burst a blood vessel, and vague lines of smoke swirl around her.

A word bubble beside her head says “you will NEVER understand…”
