Two cropped images depicting the author's knights fighting strange gigantic creatures.

A cropped image depicting the author and their various original characters, for their up-and-coming Meet The Artist for 2026.

A cropped image depicting two costumed individuals playing instruments. Illustrative work for a band (and the authors' friends!)

A cropped image depicting classic BEAT from the Jet Set Radio franchise. He's making a profane gesture while shooting spray paint willy-nilly!

My name is Raine! I am a multidisciplinary illustrator, animator, and designer focusing on Narrative & Games. I love Original Fiction and deeply built, intricately woven worlds. I'm currently available for work!

(Presumably) A woman in a horse-themed biker helmet with technicolor hair. She was designed for a piece of GRIND FICTION the author was working on...

Was pondering zodiac/horse themed oc art but I was thinking I didn't have even a handful of horse themed ocs I could work upon until I remembered HER!!! Going to redesign her before I do anything though if ever haha. #ocsky #wyraineocs #workbyraine #grindfiction

Share your couples art!
Heavily Edited Old Art of various character pairings...

The author's Meet the Artist from 2025. They update this every year!

A knight in green armor hunts a blazing barghest.

A werewolf next to his human form.

Two of the artist's OCs: Anansi the Spider and an orange-clad man named Coyote!

Since BSKY has a new wave of people I'm jumping in too! 🫡I'm an illustrator with a heavy focus on narrative and game design! I mainly work on my personal projects!

A collage of sketches from the author/illustrator featuring various characters and concepts.

Gainful employment has kept me busy (thank God), but I do look forward to getting more time to myself! #workbyraine #sketchtag

sketch of a gnarly hunched werewolf and their adjacent humanoid appearance

dog goes bark #workbyraine #werewolf

Show us how you draw armour!
It really depends on what I'm trying to do. I have many knights so I'm keeping it simple for now... #workbyraine

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you!
#workbyraine #colorfulproject

A young fella' with curly anime hair holding a phone and looking to the right (our left). The symbols next to them are Mars and an altered planetary symbol that denotes "neutrois"

A young black woman looking to the left (our right). The symbol next to her is Venus, but the line crossing the circle denotes "neutrois"

The author's interpretation of Anansi the Spider, hunched forward and prowling on all of his arms reminiscent of a kind of monster. He says aloud "I'm gonna' smash yer head in, little lady" to someone in particular. They know who they are.

The same character from the first drawing in an entirely different context. They are holding the decapitated head of a monster shaped like a tiger, and the freshly killed corpse of a smaller monster shaped like a bird. :) It's a metaphor.

The Sketching Shall Continue Until Morale Improves 😤 #sketchtag #workbyraine

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛

Comet Chimera: Oh there's a good idea!

Been having a few of those lately! Thankful to say I've been a bit busy as of late. Thinking a lot about work! #workbyraine #sketchtag

Four figures titled by strange alien text. They were heavily inspired by four characters from a particular beloved niche game franchise.

Gleefully drawing humanoid character designs for guys that aren't at all human. #kirby #kirbyairriders #workbyraine #wyraineocs

sketchy doodle of wyraine's oc and persona

fun warmup doodle w/ my 'sona

#workbyraine #wiptag #wyraineocs #art

"King, Prince, & Queen" Three black figures wearing some level of modern clothing, standing in a cave.

Feeling a little nostalgic. Here's my take on a particular set of Underworld Deities. They're a bit more removed from their inspirations than when I first designed them, but as the saying goes, iykyk!

#workbyraine #wyraineocs #characterdesign #hades #persephone #zagreus

An eight armed african man with a spider motif. The Trickster God of Wisdom and Storytelling, as penned by the Author/Illustrator: Anansi.

[ #workbyraine ]

For Day 12, I'm skipping over my monster challenge to share one of my most precious characters. This OC is my interpretation of the god, Anansi, an African-Diaspora mythic figure, trickster, and folktale hero (also the God of Wisdom).

#wyraineocs #mythology #blacktober #spider

The silhouette of a humanoid figure stepping out from a dark place. Kind of scary!

[ #spooktober ]

For Day 11 of the Halloween Monster Challenge I did last year, here's an unaltered Boogieman! I've got mixed feelings about the Boogieman, but I like the design so I'mma let 'em slide for now.

#wyrainedex #workbyraine

A wolfman. Blue.

A mummy. Green.

A vampire. Red.

Three trick or treaters in RGB!

[ #spooktober ]

Happy Early Halloween, everybody!
For Days 8, 9, and 10, I bring to you a Wolfman, a Mummy, and a Vampire!

#monstober #halloween #werewolf #mummy #vampire #art #workbyraine #wyraineocs #wyrainedex #characterdesign

Day 8, 9, and 10 are a packaged deal! They'll all go up together!

Day 6 of the Halloween Monster Challenge I did last year! For Sickle, I drew a Kamaitachi!

#pokemon #fakemon #monsterdesign #wyrainedex #workbyraine #weasel #polecat #art #monstober

A sentient scarecrow that hops along the ground.

A doll with eyes alighted by a mysterious flame. It seems to be possessed by a wisp. It was very directly inspired by the likes of Ex Tyrannomon

[ #spooktober ]

Days 4 & 5 of the #Halloween challenge I did last year! Both of these guys were inspired more specifically by the likes of #digimon! Some of the later monsters down the line were, as well.

#monstober #art #characterdesign #monsterdesign #wyrainedex #workbyraine #scarecrow #doll

A red imp. If it were a pokemon it'd be a pure dark type with an ability like prankster or infiltrator. They'd probably be a single state evolution, but if i ever made a more in-line evolution for them they'd probably be really nasty with an eviolite.

[ #spooktober ]

Day 3 of the Monster Design Challenge I did for Halloween last year! These guys are little minion dudes for a concept. They're cute though, would love to use them for something later as well.

#pokemon #fakemon #digimon #monsterdesign #wyrainedex #workbyraine #art

A pair of character designs. A colorful wisp, and a sheet ghost, that is actually two wisps stacked on top of each other.

[ #spooktober ]

The first two days of the monster design challenge I did for Halloween last year! The Wisp and the "Ghost". Cute and silly.

#art #monsterdesign #pokemon #fakemon #wyrainedex #workbyraine

The author's interpretation of the Jotun Surtr, from Norse Mythology

The headless horseman, also known as the Dullahan.

A more holistically original character featuring a young blue fellow and a flaming sword, in the winter.

A purple demon guarding a cave in a garden.

A pair of poster designs for an upcoming show!

An angelic looking woman holding a sword and shield...

Two figures, a white one and a darker one...

"Darker than a shade." "Whiter than a ghost." "Who are these women and what do they know?"

[ #swordtember ]

Character design is my passion™️

A quick character sheet centering a sporty looking mermaid-elf, her older sister, and her sword.

[ #swordtember ]

A quick one today! The Pro's bubble-wand inspired sword can split into two. I drew her older sister for the challenge a few years ago.

Day 23: Owl. The Raptor Knight. Sword: Strix's Wing. A small doodle and sketch sheet featuring a green armored knight.

Today's Subject and 2 Years Ago's Subject for Swordtember 2025 and 2023

The author's sona Comet Chimera holding their ocs like action figures.

Late for my birthday I drew one of my favorite guys for today's theme! Getting able to draw my favs for my birthday is so fun!

A young black man with pink hair holding a camera, looking up at UFOs in a corn field beneath a ringed moon.

A young man wielding a lantern in one hand, carrying an overflowing cornucopia in another, basking in the night sky of a wheat field while beneath a laurel wreathed orange moon. (This one is my favorite concept)

A young hunter beneath a purple moon in an open field. Incomplete.

A young grave digger in a snowy field beneath a clear sky and a cold moon.

The last 4 months of my Lunar Card Series (2021)
September, October, November, December!
